"Did you hear that? I have calculated above, according to the voyage, we are almost close to our destination!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true! I've heard it, everybody says so, they have noses and eyes. ”

"You don't want to think about how far Hedong is from our Huaxia, and the land distance is only more than 1,000 kilometers..."

"Let's talk nonsense, we've not only sailed tens of thousands of miles, even if we took a little detour at sea, we should have arrived a long time ago. ”

"Hey, don't say it, what Lao Li said is the truth! The easternmost part of the Hedong region is indeed only more than 1,000 kilometers away from our Huaxia. But our destination is the southeastern coast of the river, and it is appropriate to travel tens of thousands of miles in a straight line by land. ”

"Oh, I see!"

This conversation could be heard everywhere in the fleet, and although in most cases, everyone quickly fell into disposition, but after some nonsense, the confusion and uneasiness of the crew dissipated most of it, and the fighting spirit was regained.

October 21, the sixth year of China, the seventh day after crossing the Kuril Strait.

The fleet traveled along the coastline in a thrilling direction to the west.

But today, the calm is shattered.

Not because of bad luck and a tsunami, but...

"Boat?" On the watchtower of the 'Qi Bing' pilot, Zhang Jianghe rubbed his eyes in disbelief, he was afraid that he was hallucinating because he had not slept well during this time.

As a result, of course not!

"The ship... Boats! Ships are coming! Ahead... The surprise came too suddenly, making Zhang Jianghe a little incoherent, and after shouting, he finally came back to his senses and hurriedly rang the gong hanging beside him.

"When, when, when, when..."

The sound of the gong was piercing and quickly attracted the attention of others.

"Jianghe, what's wrong?" shouted Boatswain Lin Xiaoji, tilting his head.

Zhang Jianghe shouted twice, but because the boat was moving at high speed and the wind was strong, the sound was blown away, and the people below could not hear it very clearly, and at this time more and more people gathered over.

Zhang Jianghe grabbed a rope, slid down from it, and then reported the matter to Lin Hui, the captain of the 'Qi Bing' who rushed to hear the news.

When Lin Hui heard this, he was surprised and delighted, no matter whether the other party was friend or foe, at least it showed that after more than two months of long journey, they could be regarded as smelling the breath of civilization again.

Lin Hui didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered someone to notify the flagship of the news, in fact, there was no need for them to notify him, and after the delay, several cargo ships and warships followed one after another discovered the situation ahead, including the flagship, and the entire fleet knew that they had encountered a strange ship.

In the fleet, the only three warships began to accelerate, quickly overtaking the remaining seven merchant ships, riding the wind and waves, and galloping away in the direction of the comers.

Chi Jin, the deputy captain in charge of military affairs, still left the flagship at this time and returned to his own ship, the 'Xun-7', no matter what the identity of the person who came, vigilance was necessary to take precautions.

You must know that there is indeed only one word difference between a sea merchant and a pirate, and the change of identity between the two should not be too slippery. Whether they are pirates or maritime merchants depends not on themselves, but on the weight of the opponents they encounter.

If the opponent is a rookie, then it is not said, the skeleton flag is hung up, blowing the horn of freedom, one word, it is 'dry'; if the other party is evenly matched with himself or stronger than himself, it is naturally harmonious and wealthy, multiple friends and multiple roads, hello, hello, everyone.

Chi Jin stood in his captain's room with a solemn face and stared at the five sailing ships that were approaching in the distance, because there was no way to communicate directly with sound at sea, and the flags were different from each other, it was not easy to figure out each other's intentions and positions.

Although Chi Jin is a soldier and is naturally warlike, he really doesn't want to do it with the other party at the moment, the task is the most important, and any extraneous branches are what he tries to avoid.

But inwardly, Chijin is more inclined to be a pirate on the other side than a maritime merchant.

If it were a maritime merchant, who would be bored to run such a sea where birds don't? Do business with ghosts! Only pirates who have set up their nests on a small island in the middle of nowhere, can run so far.

So...

"Remove the tunic of the cannon, polish and wipe it, open the gun compartment, the naval gun is in place, the artillery is in place. As he was advancing, Chi Jin commanded in a deep voice.

In fact, not only the Huaxia fleet suffered from gains and losses, but the people on the strange fleet were even more confused and nervous.

Chi Jin guessed right, these five ships did belong to a pirate force, and they were indeed on the way back to their lair after doing a business, but they didn't expect to bump into the Huaxia Pathfinder head-on, in terms of surprise, they were much more than Chi Jin.

"What's the matter, where did these boats come from?" said the big boss Langyi, in disbelief.

"It's really an evil sect! We have walked this road not a hundred times, but eighty times, and no other force has ever been to this place, where did they come from?"

The others were also confused and buzzed and shouted.

They set up their nest in this unattended sea area, and no one has ever known, so whether it is their peers or the official army, there have always been different opinions about the nest of their Langjia pirate group, and there is no unified statement, giving people a strong sense of mystery, which has allowed them to be at ease so far, not exterminated by the official army, nor swallowed up by their peers, and now a group of people of unknown origin have popped up near the nest, and suddenly there is a feeling of husky.

"No matter where they come from, pretend to be a maritime merchant for a while, if the other party is a paper tiger, then we will temporarily make another big vote, by the way to eliminate hidden dangers, if the other party is a hard bone, then we are ready to run away, first lead them away, and then take the opportunity to come back to pick up all the people in their hometown, let's change a place to settle down." Lang Yi spat into the sea and said in a deep voice.

"The big boss?"

"Big boss!"

Everyone was taken aback, and then became anxious.

"Big boss, that's the home we've been running for several years, can I say give up if I give up? Everyone in the family is used to living there, and I'm afraid I'm reluctant to leave!"

"That's right, big boss, we have been crisscrossing the Storm Sea (that is, the sea area south of the Hedong Continent) for more than ten years, what strong winds and waves have we not experienced? What powerful enemy has not encountered? I don't believe it, with our ability, we can't take down this guy of unknown origin in front of us!"

"Shut up!" Lang Yi shouted, "Didn't you see that the other party found out that we had five boats, but still only sent three boats to deal with us?"

"This is the other party's arrogance, not knowing our ability!"

"Yes, yes..."

"I prefer to believe that this is because of the other party's self-confidence, confident that it is us who can lose weight with only three boats!" Lang Yi said, I don't know what happened, Lang Yi had a strong premonition, his guess was correct, so, as soon as the fight began, he was ready to retreat.

"Big brother, you are too ambitious for others to destroy your own prestige, right?" said the second wave unconvinced, but when he wanted to continue to speak generously, he was glared back unceremoniously by Lang Yiyi.

"Big brother, it seems that they didn't come out of the mainland (referring to the Hedong region), if they came out of the mainland, when we passed by before, we should have a good chance of finding them—after all, they passed by the door of the house—so..."
