This battle could almost have been called a complete victory if it had not been for the wounding of Sojes trying to save Genevia, and although he did not receive a penny, the sailors all had happy expressions on their faces.

"Blue, the battle damage has been counted, we have killed a total of seven sailors, but not one was wounded, among them, the bottom of the Treading Wave, the Blade and the Hope is not too damaged, the previous repairers have repaired it, and according to their report, they can now continue to sail as usual without being affected. ”

There was really no difficulty in this battle, even the sails were not damaged, the sailors were busy on the ship as usual, Achedna who had been hiding in the cabin before also ran out to bind Sojes's wounds at this time, and Genevia reported the situation calmly, even the death of seven sailors did not make her feel any sadness, in fact, as long as you become the superior, no matter how kind and generous you are, the most basic cannon fodder in the team is just a number.

Sojes nodded, and couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart, not because of those pirate hunters, in fact, pirate hunters don't need to worry him too much, after all, this profession itself also has great scruples, most of them are alone, afraid that the prey in their hands will be divided by the rest of the people, this is one, the other: even if there is a team in it, but they don't dare to buy a large number of fleets easily, the reason is that they are afraid of being targeted by the navy, many times, as long as your strength is enough, even if you have no objections, the superior will be wary of you, and there is no fleet of a certain size, unless their own strength exceeds the sixth order, or there is a magician on the ship to help, otherwise the end will be like the previous pirate hunters, who have no strength but can't exert themselves.

In addition to these unlucky pirate hunters, those fish talents are the most headache for him, don't look at the previous fish man leader who couldn't even take his full sword, a large part of the reason for this is that the attributes are compatible, otherwise, although Sojes is slightly stronger than the fish man leader, but in general, the two of them are still half a catty.

However, compared to their previous behavior of digging boats, the powerful flesh is not a threat, the reason why the fish-people are called fish-people is because they can live in the water all the time, and there are also parts of the body like fish gills that can breathe freely underwater, this innate advantage determines that they often have the upper hand when they clash with the races on the shore at sea, because whether it is a human or an orc, as long as they lose the ship, they can't breathe underwater, and when the ship sinks, even if the fish-people don't do it, these people trapped in the water can't live。

"Tell me if there is a good way to deal with the fish-people at sea?" Sitting on the chaise longue, Sorjes's fingers gently tapped on the armrest of the chair, seemingly leisurely, but there was always a gloom on his face.

The most well-informed of all the people was Will, who was also the first to give a reply: "If it is as simple as killing the fishmen, prepare some oil on each ship, and pour them into the sea when they find them, the oil will clog their gills, and if they can't breathe underwater, they are not much different from ordinary people." ”

Sojes nodded, agreeing with this method, and then asked, "You are talking about the method of counterattacking them without entering the water, is there any effective measure to prevent them from sneaking up?"

"It's a bit of a hassle, or rather, it's not a hassle, but it's a bit costly. Will slurred a little as he spoke, and it wasn't until Sorjeth got a little impatient that he quickly said the details.

Guarding against the sneak attack of the fishmen, this is something that many pirates and even the navy want to do, after more than a long time of study, they did develop a method, the method is also simple, but it is to add a layer of metal shell to the bottom of the ship, that is, the selection of materials is more troublesome, ordinary metal in the bottom of the hull after two phenomena, either it is too much, affecting the speed, or it is too little, still can not defend against the attack of the fishman, and want to not affect the speed of the ship and can provide a certain amount of defense metal is more expensive, and there is a certain difficulty in smelting。

To sum up, Will came to the conclusion that unless they found a magician, and they still had to be proficient in the construction of magic ships, only they would know how to use the most efficient way to realize the possibility of reinforcing the bottom of the ship, and ordinary boatmen would not be able to meet this standard at all.

After saying this, Will added: "Jack, we don't need to take them too seriously after a sneak attack by the fishmen, we also have the Snow Fox, plus the Xianglong is not easy for the fishmen to sink, there is no need to be afraid, the main range of activities of the fishmen is still the blue sea." ”

Sojes didn't answer him, but turned his head to look at Genevia next to him and asked, "Weiya, how much money do we have left?"

Ji Nevia calculated in her heart and reported a number, and then her delicate little face also showed a bitter expression: "More than 50,000, less than 60,000, I spent too much money to buy equipment before, and next time I won't pick such a poor ghost!"

She was helpless, and Sojers was even more helpless, he originally wanted to equip some sailors with muskets according to their strength level, but now it seems that he doesn't want to think about it.

Everyone was silent, the money came and went quickly, and at first I thought that more than 100,000 gold coins were a huge amount of money, but I didn't expect that half of it would be lost before I felt that I had bought something.

In fact, hundreds of thousands of gold coins are indeed a huge amount of money, but the value of equipment is also expensive, in the eyes of many professionals, although the ship is powerful, it is only an external force, and equipment or skill books can indeed improve their own strength, people often pay more attention to themselves than others.

After thinking about it, it seems that this problem is a little unsolvable, for pirates, whether they can make money or not depends on whether they can be lucky enough to meet the fat sheep one after another, and then depends on their strength, thinking of the word strength, Sojes suddenly remembered the strange behavior of Verna when he found the cloud eagle before, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked excitedly:

"Will, are you about to advance?"

This cold sentence made everyone stunned, and then they looked at Will with a shocked face, and Will, who became the focus of attention, was obviously thick-skinned enough, and admitted this conjecture very frankly: "I have found some opportunities, but I have also stayed in the fourth order for a few years, and it may be that I use my mental power more frequently in the Sea of Sin, so there may be signs of a breakthrough." ”

Hearing the news, everyone was very happy, the only one who seemed a little lonely was Cervantes, although he was also happy for Will, but he never showed signs of advancement, in fact, he was the first to follow the members of the team who followed Sogers, and for more than a year, Sojes, Genevia, Will, either had broken through, or was about to break through, only he had never improved, which also made him feel a little lost.
