Chapter 214 Pirate One-Eyed Shark
The day after Rasson arrived in Sprouts, the entire Port of Sprouts was turned into a big construction site. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Charles talked a lot about the long-term plan for the development of the territory yesterday, for Luo Sheng, the most important task at this stage is to build a number of houses that can shelter from the wind and rain for the people he has brought him. After all, in the entire area around New Sprout Harbor, there is only one small village that can barely accommodate the villagers, and it is impossible to provide enough housing for these people brought to Rasheng. After last night's bonfire, a significant number of people went back to sleep on the boat.
Although the armed merchant ship of Magic Light VII was temporarily transferred to Luo Sheng, it did not belong to Luo Sheng. It wasn't long before Brady would sail away, and it would be impossible for him to become the sea quarters of the New Sprouts. In the summer, the port is close to the North Sea, and the rainfall is quite abundant. If you can't build a batch of houses in advance, then there will be a lot of trouble.
In addition to the house, another urgent need for construction in Sprout Port is a new wharf. As a port, just two small wooden boardwalk roots are not enough for the development of Sprout Harbor, and the fleet organized by Milou and Daddy York is already on the verge of arrival. It would be more embarrassing if it was like Magic Light VII and needed Rason to make 'Fuji Bridge' on the spot to unload the goods.
Whether it is building a house or repairing a wharf, it is a matter that requires a lot of manpower, so Luo Sheng issued a summoning order to all the villagers early the next morning. Anyone who is willing to work can get food and wages.
Because Luo Sheng fulfilled his promise yesterday, every villager who participated in the material handling got a gold scale, so except for a very small number of elderly and children who have almost no ability to work, other villagers who can work as long as they can work have actively responded to Luo Sheng's convening order and joined the labor on the construction site in full swing. After all, for most villagers, there are too few opportunities to earn money. Although it is impossible for Luo Sheng to give the high price as yesterday, it is already a great thing for the villagers of Xinya Village to work for the lord, have food to eat, and have a relatively good salary to get.
However, with so many enthusiastic villagers, Luo Sheng did not let them do things together. Instead, Charles, the former 'mayor', assisted Alyssa by dividing the villagers into twenty different groups and handing them over to the twenty stewards that Alyssa had brought from Cook's house. These stewards, together with two or three professionals, manage these teams of dozens of people, each undertaking different tasks. And according to the intensity of the work, the efficiency is different, and everyone gets different wages.
In this way, not only the work efficiency was improved, the chaos was avoided, but also a new management order was initially established and the transfer of management rights was completed. With this step, the villagers will gradually get used to being led by these stewards and adapt to the new power system. Gradually from the state of self-government, to the state of real people.
After completing the distribution of the team, these stewards from the Cook family did not disappoint Luo Sheng, and basically only took half a day to establish authority in the team he led and control his team. In the midst of hard work, Luo Sheng's rule over the sprout collar has taken root.
Seeing the performance of these stewards, Luo Sheng was silently grateful to the Marquis of Cook who transferred these people. In the Ilmir continent, it is easy to find a professional with military force, but experienced, capable, and reliable enough stewards are relatively scarce.
Especially for the current Marquis of Cook, it is not difficult to find the elite of the army who are good at fighting. After the Cook family gradually withdrew from Snow Dragon Pass, a large number of elite soldiers returned to Cook Castle. But the Cook family, who can take charge of affairs on their own, is actually not rich. Twenty were transferred to Luo Sheng at once, and the Marquis of Cook obviously made a lot of money.
Ordinary villagers joined the labor under the command of these stewards, and the professionals were not idle. Except for Charles, who assisted Alyssa in controlling the territory situation, the other professionals were all assigned to different military squads by Luo Sheng as a guide. Some of these teams went to other villages within the territory of Luo Sheng, announced the existence of Luo Sheng, the new lord, and summoned the leaders of each village to come and meet the new lord. The other part, in cooperation with the scouts in the army, went to the mountains and forests in the north to hunt the demonic beasts near the new sprout territory. After all, the territory is now under construction, and many people are logging in the forest. Only by cleaning up the nearby Warcraft in advance and eliminating potential safety hazards can the smooth progress of the construction be ensured.
After initially straightening out the affairs of Sprout Harbor and getting all the work on the right track, Luo Sheng did not continue to stay in Sprout Harbor, but handed over the matter to Alyssa, and took Carl and a small number of elites to board the Magic Light Seven.
Under the guidance of Carl, the Magic Light VII sailed two or three hundred miles, and took advantage of the night to come to an island with dense reefs and extremely complex water conditions.
"Carl, is this the base of the one-eyed shark?" Rashon asked Carl as he looked at the little fires on the distant island.
"Yes, Lord Rason. This is the base of the one-eyed shark, the pirate 'Gills Island', which is considered the border area between the Elson Kingdom and the Tairo Kingdom in the Hokuriku Territory, and it is basically a place under no people's jurisdiction. Cyclops sharks have used this as a base to wreak havoc on vast areas around the area for hundreds of miles, and there are even records of raiding the Northlands. In the past, we in Sprout Harbour were also in the area of influence of cyclops, and we often had to accept their blackmail. Karl explained in detail.
Rasheng asked Carl to leave for Hokuriku a few months early, not just to subdue a small sprout village. In fact, Karl's main task is to explore the real situation in Hokuriku by traveling around the Hokuriku, collect various intelligence, and prepare for various threats that may be encountered in the future of the New Sprout Harbor. Surrendering Charles and convincing the people of Sprout Village to accept Rason as the new lord was just a side mission for Carl.
And the 'one-eyed shark' that Luo Sheng is asking about now is the most powerful pirate force in the western part of the North Continent around the Sprout Territory. The pirates in the security threats Charles mentioned before mainly refer to the 'one-eyed shark' force.
"Dare to go to the Northland to raid, it seems that this pirate is not weak! do you have any specific information about them?" Luo Sheng continued to ask.
Since Luo Sheng regards the sprout territory as his foundation, he naturally will not allow a force like the one-eyed shark to exist around his territory. So after initially sorting out the clues on the territory side, Luo Sheng immediately took the powerful armed merchant ship of Magic Light Seven to find trouble with the one-eyed shark.
"The overall number of one-eyed sharks is more than a thousand, but the combat power of the real core is only about three hundred, and most of them are black iron ranks. There are only four or five combat power above the real silver level. Although their leader, the one-eyed shark, is only at the pinnacle of the Silver Rank, it is said that he has awakened the rare bloodline of the 'Sea Shark Man', and is not only proficient in underwater combat, but also has infinite strength, and has combat power comparable to that of the Golden Rank. Carl replied confidently.
After a period of travel in the Hokuriku, Carl realized that the cyclops would be a major threat to the development of the Sprout Territory, so he did a lot of work in this area in advance. Not only did he collect a lot of relevant information from other sources, but he also personally infiltrated Yugill Island as a killer of the dark realm.
This successful infiltration not only allowed Carl to understand the true strength of the cyclops, but also to draw relatively accurate charts with the help of scout techniques learned from the Cooks. Otherwise, even if Luo Sheng knew that such a threat existed, it would take a lot of effort to find this hidden island with extremely complex hydrological conditions around it. It is simply impossible to touch the other party's door before they can react like now.
"Is it comparable to the combat power of the Golden Rank, and what about the spellcasters on the island?" Luo Sheng asked again.
For the current Luo Sheng, a simple and talented silver-level peak fighter no longer needs to pay too much attention, as long as the opportunity is right, Luo Sheng is sure to solve the other party in a short time. What Luo Sheng was really worried about was that the other party had the cooperation of a spellcaster of the same level. A strong 'meat shield-type' warrior, with a powerful spellcaster, even Luo Sheng would not dare to be too careless.
"The strongest spellcaster in the Cyclops is a mage known as the 'Spirit Summoner', who is said to be proficient in illusions and summoning spells, and is quite powerful. But he usually only stays in his lab, and I haven't really met him. Karl replied with some shame: "There are a few other spellcasters, but they are all ordinary wandering spellcasters, and their strength and level are not high, so there should be no threat." ”
"Evoker?proficient in illusion and summoning?Captain Brady, have you heard of this man?" asked Rason to Brady on the other side.
"I've heard of it. The one-eyed shark was able to evade several pursuits from the Taylor Kingdom, mainly relying on the illusion of this spirit summoner, and it was the number one person in the North Sea. Brady replied with a solemn expression: "And it is said that he has a close relationship with the fish-man, and there is a lot of cooperation between the two sides." The fact that the cyclops shark can crisscross the North Sea without being harassed by fishmen has a lot to do with him.
As a veteran captain who has traveled to and from the North Sea for many years, Brady has a considerable understanding of the various forces and characters in the North Sea, and sometimes he has more information than Carl, who has personally explored the island of Fishgills.
"In this way, this evoker is the true soul of the cyclops. Hearing Brady's description, Luo Sheng's eyes were slightly small, and he said coldly.
If you want to be a pirate in the North Sea, the biggest dependence is not on your own strength, but on your relationship with the fishmen. Without the acquiescence of the North Sea Fishmen, no pirate force could survive for long. So it seems that the cyclops are named after the leader 'Cyclops', but the real core should be this mysterious spirit caller.
"I'll sneak into the island first and see if I can get rid of this spirit caller. After figuring out the general situation on the island, Luo Sheng calmly ordered: "If my side succeeds, you will follow the plan to seal the port of Yugill Island for me and kill these pirates!"
