Chapter 48 Island Development
Regersar squatted on the light-colored sand of Thundering Island, basking in the warm winter sun that can only be found in the southern seas of the mainland, while looking at the vast sea to the northwest in a daze.
From time to time, the water was washed up on the beach by the waves, flooding the surface of his bare feet, but he did not feel the slightest chill.
When the waves recede, the beach is left with clumps of white foam, like when beer is poured into a glass.
Regsar licked his lips, fondly remembering the delicious beer and ales at home that he had drunk to empty bottles.
These wines were brought by the fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce when they came to Thundering Island last time, and they were mixed with the support materials that the fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce gave to the Thundering Pirates, and he was unceremoniously occupied by himself.
However, no matter how good the wine is, there will always be a day when it will be finished.
It is impossible to drink the same delicious wine again on Thundering Island, and the only way to do this is to go ashore and buy it in Nissi.
However, according to the news that came back, the Ruerson Kingdom had already put the Thundering Pirate Regiment on the wanted list, and the portrait of him, the leader of the Thundering Pirates, had already been published.
So Regersar could only be trapped on Thundering Island, looking at the sea in the distance every day in a daze, looking forward to the arrival of the new flying chamber of commerce fleet again.
Last time, the commander of the new flying fleet named Neval had said before leaving that if nothing else, he would often lead the transport fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to pass through this route in the future, and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce would most likely include Thundering Island in the development plan.
Regsar had seen the horror of the New Flying Fleet with his own eyes, and had heard a lot about the New Flying Chamber of Commerce from other sources. I know that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can already be regarded as one of the top chambers of commerce in these nearby countries. So I have great confidence in the new flying merchants. I look forward to it.
However, Neval has been away with the new fleet for more than four months, and there has been no news so far.
Regsar waited day by day, and became more desperate day by day.
"Damn, you're not going to be tricked by that guy named Neval, are you?" Regersar cursed in a low voice as he spat viciously at the beach.
"Commander, who do you say you were tricked by?" suddenly heard the rustle of the soles of his feet on the sand behind him, and Dorom, the deputy leader of the Thundering Pirate Regiment, squatted down beside Regsar.
"It's not the bastards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Regersar replied scoldingly. "Obviously, I said that we will develop our Thundering Island well. But I haven't come yet, isn't this playing tricks on me?"
Dorome glanced at Regosar in some surprise.
"Commander, I thought you were thinking about something these days when you didn't say anything, but you were waiting for those people to come back. Dorome shook his head. "Captain, you're an old pirate too, don't you know that those merchants don't have a word of truth in their mouths? In my opinion, since we are pirates, we should not think so much, and doing our original business is the right way. ”
Regsar sighed, "I didn't know that. But being a pirate isn't a comfortable thing after all. If I have the opportunity to get everyone to work and make money, then of course I want to take it. ”
Dorome was silent for a moment. sighed: "Commander, I know that you have been thinking about all of us, but this time, I'm afraid you are thinking too much." ”
Regsar stared at the sea in the distance for a while, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's true that I'm thinking too much. ”
After that, he slapped his buttocks, stood up, turned around and walked towards the island.
Dorome was stunned: "Commander, what are you going to do?"
"Nonsense, of course it's going to the guy and get ready to go to sea and our old ......"
Before the last word could be spoken, Regsar turned his head, but as if he was stunned, he looked behind Dorom in a daze, his face full of incredulity.
Dorome's heart moved, and he quickly turned around and looked at the sea in the courtyard, where he saw several black dots rapidly approaching.
It didn't take long for the black dots to gradually change into the appearance of several ships on the surface of the sea.
Although it was still far away, Dorom only needed to glance at the silhouette to know that these ships were exactly the same as the three giant steel sea ships that had visited Thundering Island last time!
Last time, there were three ships, but this time, there were seven ships in one go!
And in addition to these seven huge steamers that sailed on the sea like hills, there were about twenty or so smaller magic ships around them.
Of course, this so-called smaller one is only relative to the seven giant magic ships.
In fact, each of these twenty or so ships alone is several times larger than the sea ships owned by the Thundering Pirates!
"No, they ...... They're actually here!"
Dorome watched in amazement as the ships approached rapidly in the distance, and after a moment, he looked back at Regsar.
"Commander, this ...... I...... What are we going to do?"
"What should I do?" Regsar was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What should I do? What are you still in a daze, hurry up and call everyone out to me, and get ready to welcome the guests!"
"Oh, yes, yes......" Dorome agreed, and rushed towards the island.
But as soon as he rushed out halfway out, he found a large group of people pouring out of the island, and it was none other than the inhabitants of the island.
Seeing them excitedly pointing to the sea in the distance and cheering, Dorome immediately understood that it was not just him and Regersar who had discovered the arrival of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's fleet.
About ten minutes later, seven huge magic ships connected to the twenty or so smaller magic ships and approached the shores of Thundering Island at the same time.
Just like last time, because of the draft, these magic steamers could not really make it to the shore, and chose to stop a few hundred meters from the shore.
More than a dozen small mana assault boats that Regsar had ridden in the last time were lowered from the various mana search ships, and dozens of figures followed them, and then quickly galloped over and approached the shore.
Several figures fell from the small magic assault boat into the water on the shore, and the leader was none other than Neval.
Seeing Regesar from afar, Neval laughed and stretched out his hands.
"Captain Regesar, long time no see. ”
Glancing at the spectacular fleet in the distance, Regersar took a deep breath and rose to meet it.
"Captain Neval, you've made me wait so hard. ”
Neval smiled slightly, thinking that judging by the look and eyes of the pirate leader, I am afraid that he is really looking forward to his arrival again.
But there's nothing wrong with second thought.
The pirate sounds like a majestic, but it's not a good life at all.
Wandering on the sea all day long, not to mention the wind and rain, and facing the danger of losing his life at any time.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get by, no one would want to be a pirate.
Now that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has taken a fancy to this Thundering Island and wants to develop it, it has given everyone up and down the Thundering Pirate Group a good opportunity to improve their lives, and it is strange that this Regsar is not warmly welcomed.
Thinking of this, Neval didn't talk much nonsense, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce guards who came with him jumped from the small assault boat with a piece of daily necessities that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Captain Regesar, some small gifts, and ask the friends on the island to accept them. ”
His eyes swept over a box of supplies marked with fine wine, and Regersar couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit, nodded repeatedly, and turned back to beckon the islanders to come up and help.
The islanders couldn't wait for a long time, and when they saw this, they cheered and rushed over together.
Neval didn't care about those supplies, but pulled Regsar aside, and said, "Captain Regsar, I now officially inform you that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has listed Thundering Island in the development plan, so from now on, you have to cooperate well with our development plan, understand?"
Neval's commanding tone made Regsar frown, but after a moment he lifted his brow and nodded with a smile.
The shape is stronger than people, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is obviously countless times stronger than the small Thundering Pirate Group, if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to come hard, it can easily destroy the Thundering Pirate Group and completely take over Thundering Island.
Now to be able to put on a posture of wanting to cooperate with him on the surface is already considered benevolent.
"Well, then Captain Neval, what can we do?" asked Regsar.
Seeing that Regsar was respectful and obedient, Neval nodded in satisfaction.
"You don't need to do anything special, you just need to organize the people on the island and make the people sent by our Chamber of Commerce as helpers and guides. In addition, there are other arrangements for your Thundering Pirate Regiment. ”
"Huh?" Regesar was surprised.
Originally, he thought that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had just taken a fancy to this Thundering Island, but he didn't expect that even their Thundering Pirate Group would also be able to take a fancy to it.
"Wait a minute. ”
Neval motioned for Regesar to wait, then turned and ran to a small magic assault boat, and after a few words of conversation with a man, the two of them walked over together.
"Let me introduce you, this is Lord Leslie, the Commander of the Fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's Escort Force. ”
Seeing that Neval was also extremely respectful in front of this man named Leslie, Reg Sal immediately put away all his carelessness and saluted Leslie with great respect.
"Regsar has seen Master Leslie. ”
Leslie smiled and looked Regsar up and down, and saw that he was strong, with a respectful but shrewd expression, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Regsar, call your Thundering Pirate brothers, and set out with me. ”
"Ahh
"Go get rid of all the restless guys around here. (To be continued......)
