The Endless Sea in early summer is always changing.

It was a downpour just now, but the next moment the rain had dispersed, and the sun was splashing, turning the originally wet and cold sea into a cloud of steam, like a fairyland.

Seeing a phantom of human figures shuttling and tree shadows swaying in the air in mid-air in front of him before fading away, Leslie spat viciously, spitting out all the bitter saliva that had been salty from the seawater in his mouth.

This is already 800 kilometers away from Thundering Island, and more than 300 kilometers away from the nearest land coast.

As far as the eye can see, not to mention a ship nearby, not even a ghost shadow can be seen.

In addition to flocks of seabirds, large marine fish and even sea beasts that do not show their true faces on the surface of the sea, you can only see a few small islands scattered around in the distance.

It's desolate, but it's not desolate.

Just by looking at the huge schools of fish in the surrounding sea, Leslie knew it was worth it.

The fish near the coast have long been extremely sparse due to the fishermen near the coast for many years, but the deep sea away from the shore still has countless kinds of delicious sea fish, and even sea beasts, which shows that the resources in the endless sea are far more abundant than people think.

No wonder there was a saying to Leslie before - if you want to be rich, go to the sea.

Just by catching all these fish in front of you and bringing them back to shore, you can sell them for at least tens of thousands of gold coins. It is enough to make ordinary people worry about food and clothing for a lifetime.

Not to mention the endless schools of fish in the deep sea. They don't know how many schools of fish they hit along the way. If a suitable way is found to catch and sell, it is enough for countless people to live a prosperous life from now on.

Of course, Leslie led the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to escort the fleet away from Thundering Island and deep into the deep sea, obviously not to find fish.

This time, his main mission is to expel the pirates in the nearby seas, further expand the sphere of influence of Thundering Island, and at the same time continue to make a name for himself in the nearby seas, completely breaking into his name as the pirate king.

It should be said. This is a major task that he has done extremely well so far.

After clearing out all the pirates in the waters near the kingdom of Luxon, Lesley led the convoy all the way east, and whenever he heard pirates nearby, he would definitely take the initiative to come to the door to challenge.

As for the results......

With more than 20 medium-sized magic frigates and nearly 100 magic assault boats, and equipped with countless magic repeaters, magic bazookas, and even several magic cannons, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort fleet is only a pirate with wooden ships and large swords and axes, and all long-range weapons are just ordinary bows and javelins.

No matter what kind of pirate it is, it can't even touch the side of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to escort the fleet. He was directly sunk by endless crossbow arrows and magic cannonballs, and turned into a ghost on the sea.

It only took a month. Leslie's fleet of new merchant convoys made a name for itself in the southern seas of the Candela Empire.

In the middle of the island, these strange ships made of steel are as feared as the devil.

In the past half month, all the pirates have chosen to flee as soon as they hear the approaching convoy led by Lesley, and they will never dare to have any thought of resisting.

So in fact, Leslie didn't experience a single battle in the past half a month, and he always seemed extremely peaceful.

This made Leslie feel a little bored.

He decided to go to sea to become a pirate in order to get away from the kingdom of Lampari.

And now, after so much time at sea, he finds that he has fallen in love with this comfortable life.

Although life at sea is extremely unstable and the conditions are harsh, he has always been on the high sea and the sea is wide, which makes him feel unprecedented joy and freedom throughout his body.

And the battle with the pirates also made him very happy, and he felt no guilt at all when he saw those evil pirates disappear, only feeling happy.

The only thing that made him feel a little unhappy was that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort fleet that Xu Yi had configured for him was too strong, ridiculously strong, so strong that other pirates had no power to fight back at all.

It made him feel like he was always bullying a child, and he couldn't get any pleasure out of it.

He brought this idea to Neval of the transport fleet, only to get Neval's not direct but obvious disdain.

"Begging for a life at sea, being able to be peaceful is the greatest prayer, how can anyone find their own death. ”

Leslie wasn't a reckless man, and of course he knew it, but that didn't stop him from getting bored.

"Hah-"

Perhaps it was because of the gradually warm sun, or perhaps because she was too bored, Leslie suddenly became sleepy and couldn't help but yawn profusely.

Glancing at the calm sea ahead, Leslie was sure that no pirates would come to seek death, and thought that she might as well take advantage of this time to get some sleep.

According to the goal explained by Xu Yitong Guò Neval, his next task is to completely control the entire southern sea area of the Candela Empire, and open up all sea routes in the southern section of the Sainz Continent for the transport fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

This is an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, and it cannot be accomplished in a month or two.

Leslie knew that he would never return to the Lampari Kingdom if he didn't do well in his life, so continuing to stay at sea was his next fate, so he didn't resist Xu Yi's goal very much, but took this goal as his life goal very seriously.

Of course, this did not affect him to take the time to take a nap at this time.

However, just as he turned around and was about to enter his commander's cabin, Leslie suddenly felt a slight jolt of the ship's hull and slowed down.

It didn't look like it had suddenly hit some hidden reef, but rather that the crew in charge of driving the boat had discovered something.

Leslie looked up at the lookout at the highest part of the mast. Pick up the magic call box.

"What's the situation?"

The lookout's voice rang out through the magic call box. The tone was a little anxious.

"Your Excellency. A large number of sea ships have been spotted ahead, and they seem to be coming directly at us!"

"Oh?" Leslie was a little surprised, then shocked. "Haha, that's great! Is there some pirate who doesn't have long eyes coming to look for death again? Uncle, I'm in a panic, and now someone is so funny and takes the initiative to run, it's really good!"

After a long period of contact with a group of seafarers and pirates, Viscount Leslie, who had been seen by all the noble ladies and ladies of Anwemar and Bonta in the past, inevitably became tainted with some vulgarity.

The lookout, however, was not as excited as Leslie. There was still a look of panic in his tone.

"My lord, it seems to be ...... It doesn't seem like a pirate. Because I saw those boats on top of ...... Fly the banner of the Candela Empire!"

"Huh?" Leslie was slightly stunned. "Flying the flag of the Candela Empire? Are you sure you read that right?"

The lookout was silent for a moment, then the voice resounded.

"Yes, the little one is right, it is indeed the Golden Lion Green Banner of the Candela Empire. ”

Leslie frowned and thought about it, put her hand on the railing next to her, and as soon as she put her foot hard, her body immediately jumped high.

Immediately after a few tosses in the air, his hand pressed a few times on the highest mast, and his body had already jumped directly onto the lookout platform that was more than ten meters high from overtime.

"Give it to me. Leslie snatched the telescope from the lookout's hand. Look in the direction he was pointing.

Through the lens of the telescope, I saw that the sea in the distance was densely packed. There were probably thirty or forty huge ships coming quickly in this direction.

The ships were twice as large as the largest pirate ship Leslie had ever seen, and they weren't much smaller than the medium-sized magical frigate at his feet.

Leslie had been at sea for so long, and it was the first time he had seen such a large wooden sea ship.

Moreover, the appearance of these sea ships is basically the same, and with the hundreds of smaller sea ships that follow them, they are sailing at the same speed on the sea surface, and they look extremely powerful.

Just by seeing this momentum, Leslie was sure that this was definitely not a pirate, because no pirate could have such terrifying strength.

In this vicinity, it is impossible for any other force to have such a strong maritime power except for the naval fleet of the Candela Empire.

Gazing over the huge flags with golden lions and green backgrounds hanging from the masts of the ships, Leslie further affirmed that these ships should be the regular maritime fleet of the Candela Empire.

However, this made him very puzzled, what did the regular naval fleet of the Candela Empire suddenly send out a large army to do for him?

"My lord, the other party is about to enter the effective firing range, what should I do? To fight or not to fight?" The lookout on the side suddenly asked nervously.

"it!" Leslie glared at him angrily.

On the other side is the regular maritime fleet of the Candela Empire, and if it really wants to fight, it is tantamount to officially declaring war on the Candela Empire.

No matter how idle and bored Leslie was, he would not do such a stupid thing.

What's more, Xu Yi is now trying to get a cooperative relationship with the Candela Empire, and if Ridley really does this, it will be equivalent to cutting off a possibility.

"What then, do you want to get them close to a dangerous distance?" the lookout was dumbfounded.

Leslie picked up the binoculars and glanced at the hundreds of sea search ships that were rapidly approaching, frowned and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Pass my orders, all ships stop, but they must be ready to start at any time and act according to my orders." ”

The lookout gave the order.

Leslie waited quietly for a while, and saw that the ships in the distance had begun to slow down, and with a sigh of relief, she jumped off the mast and came to the front of the deck.

All the ships of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Convoy had stopped at this time, and all the ships of the Candela Imperial Fleet sailed forward for a while within the effective range of the convoy, stopping less than five hundred meters away from the first medium-sized magic frigate.

Leslie, who was standing at the forefront, frowned slightly.

This distance is already the range that many bows and arrows can reach.

In doing so, the Candela Empire's naval fleet showed that they could attack at any time.

A moment later, a voice rang out from the huge sea ship that rushed to the front on the opposite side.
