The Nanliu Kingdom was located in the southern part of the Donghua Empire, a ten-day voyage from the southern coast of the Donghua Empire, and a twelve-day voyage from the Hunan Domain.

Although the Nanliu country is an archipelago, it cannot be considered a country, because this country has no citizens, only pirates.

However, these pirates had a well-thought-out bureaucracy.

Because of these pirates, there is a leader who dreams of being emperor - Drake the Shark.

So, people used to call it a country.

No one has counted the number of islands in the Nanliu Country, but the world knows the characteristics of this archipelago.

Three layers and three worlds, gods and ghosts don't come in.

The first layer is dotted with islands and reefs.

If you don't know the lane, you can't even think of crossing it, because it could run aground at any time.

Ships that know the passage but enter without permission should not even think of passing through, because the nine-turn and eighteen-turn channel is full of pirate sentry posts and traps.

The second layer is known as the Sea of Mist.

It is said that this layer is only ten nautical miles short.

However, I don't know who set up a formation here, and when you enter this layer, you will be surrounded by a thick fog, and the visibility is less than one meter, not to mention the abandonment and stranding, and it is said that there are witches who are intriguing people's minds.

The third level is Drake's territory.

Drake is a Celestial Commander, and the Demon is a group of sawtooth sharks.

This shark has sharp serrations on its head, and no ship can withstand their attacks, not to mention the bloodthirsty pirates on its side.

Within three floors, it is said that there is a huge island, and on the island is the temple of another transformation mage, Master Guanzi, who was a thousand years ago.

In the temple, there is a huge wealth that Drake has plundered for many years, as well as an artifact left by Master Guanzi, the Pure Nightmare, which is the goal of Bai Tiao's trip.

Therefore, attacking the Nanliu country is an impossible task.

This has been proven by history.

During the 300 years of the Donghua Empire's rule, the government could not tolerate the harassment of the south-flowing countries, and sent troops to clear it many times, but they all returned in vain.

The reason is, of course, the complex topography of the Nanliu country.

Once the pirates fled into the archipelago, there was nothing the officials could do.

The government also sent people to infiltrate the Nanliu country, but the people sent out were all lost.

Since then, the government can only passively defend and deploy heavy troops on the South China Sea shipping lanes to ensure the safety of passing merchants.

However, the actual situation is only known to the merchants who come and go.

South-flow, south-flow, gold and silver are not worried;

Merchants come and go, no need to worry;

As soon as the tax is paid, it will be offered and left;

If you don't comply, the shark waits.

A well-circulated limerick poem that says it all.

"The South China Sea is the territory of my Nanliu country, and through my family's territory, I naturally have to pay taxes, otherwise, where will my face as a king go. ”

This is Drake's high-sounding reason.

As a result, the official, the merchants, and the pirates reached an agreement, and there was no trouble.

Over the decades, the wealth that Drake has amassed should no longer be measurable by numbers.

This should be one of the reasons why Dongfang Unwise agreed to attack the Nanliu Kingdom.

Another reason is naturally that the Gongjin family exchanged the bargaining chips of the Dongliu Country - Taoyuan Island.

According to the news released by the Gongjin family, this island is located in the southeast of the Nanliu country, although the area is only a quarter of the Dongliu country, but it is a flat river, the soil is fertile, and there is a huge freshwater lake in the center, which is a veritable paradise on the sea.

However, this news has been circulating for nearly a thousand years, and various countries, successive governments, and countless explorers have gone to sea to look for it, but no one has been able to find it.

And now, the Gongjin family has surrendered this island to Dongfang Buzhi.

The purpose is naturally to exchange for the Dongliu country.

It had been fifteen days since the fleet left the port of Takata, and it was less than a day's voyage to the waters of Nanliu Country.

He lived in the Dongliu Kingdom for almost a year, but Shirojo still didn't like the sea.

Bottomless!

Have no bottom!

Shirojo is accustomed to a sense of foresight.

In the face of the unpredictable sea, Bai Tiao really can't get rid of the fear in his heart.

"Senpai?"

White Stripe tried to call out to the heavens again.

After the battle of the water monsters, Fan Tian has remained silent.

I guess I'm digesting the soul power of the water monster.

Bai Tiao remembered the situation when Fan Tian absorbed the soul power of the king snake.

"Hmm. ”

Fan Tian finally responded.

"How are you doing?"

White stripe asked with concern.

"Feel it for yourself. ”

When Bai Tiao heard this, he immediately concentrated on feeling the magic in his body.

It is endless, like a trickling river.

"Steps?"

"Yes, I've already reached the middle level of the ground level. ”

"Is it possible to capture flying monsters now?"

Bai Tiao immediately became excited.

"Yes, but only in infancy, and it won't help you now. ”

"Then what Demonic Beast should we capture next?"

"Mount!"

"Don't you want to have a windy mount?"

"Isn't there a mount?

For Fan Tian's suggestion, Bai Tiao was really a little uninterested.

"What kind of mount is a horse, can a horse carry it with you, and does a horse have attack power?"

After being reminded by Fan Tian, Bai Tiao's brain immediately opened up.

My own understanding of mounts is too narrow.

A mount that can be carried with you and is fierce at the same time.

Just think about it!

"Senior, I don't know if you have any recommendations?"

"Hmph, aren't you interested?"

"The younger generation is short-sighted, and I really don't know as much as the seniors, so I didn't expect this to be useful. ”

Bai Tiao hurriedly begged Fan Tian for mercy.

"What mount do you want?"

After Fan Tian asked, Bai Tiao didn't know how to answer.

"The Golden Lion?"

Bai Tiao remembered the golden lion who fought against Yang Jiaojiao.

"Cut!

Fan Tian is dismissive.

"Sabertooth Tiger?"

"Earth Dragon?"

White Bar tried to ask.

"Okay, when you meet the right one, this king will tell you. ”

"Ahh ”

"At this time, above the vast sea, there is no point in thinking about it. ”

That's right.

White stripe looked around.

Sea!

Except for the fleet, all that remains is the sea.

You can't see land, you can't see buildings, you can't see trees, nothing but the sea is the sea.

Ay!

Shirojo looked at everything around him in annoyance.

"Sir. ”

Dongfang Yan walked out of the cabin, followed by Fengzi.

Since Bai Tiao brought Fengzi back, Fengzi was taken over by Dongfang Yan.

"Although the little woman is virtuous, she is a healer after all, and Mr. has the protection of the White Night brothers, so Fengzi will stay by my side. ”

is reasonable, well-founded and responsible, and the white strip can only be handed over.

"Yanyan, what's wrong. ”

Shirostripe turned around, but still frowning slightly.

"Hold on for two more days. ”

Dongfang Yan said with concern.

"It's okay, it's much better. ”

Shirojo barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Sir, it's been a great job. ”

"Father sent someone over and asked him to come to the flagship. ”

Only then did Shirojo realize that the fleet had slowed down.

"Okay. ”

The three of them got on the ferry boat and, under the tuk of the soldiers, boarded the flagship.

On top of the flagship, Dongfang Buzhi, Dongfang Nobunaga, Dongfang Shingen, Miyajin Musashi and other generals are already waiting.

"Son-in-law, let's go to the cabin and talk. ”

"Okay. ”

The group entered the cabin.

Bai Tiao deliberately walked last, taking the opportunity to observe the flagship of the unwise East.

What a spectacular warship!

The main deck was more than eight meters wide and more than ten meters long, with three huge ballistas on each side.

The bow of the ship is a sculpture in the shape of a giant magic eagle head.

The Demon Eagle's beak was tightly closed, and its two eyes were actually two huge yellow crystals, which were shining brightly at this time.

Lifelike, so realistic sculptures.

The building is more than eight meters high and at least sixty meters long, and is divided into three floors, each with at least 120 windows.

The control room is located at the head of the first floor, completely shrouded in white crystals.

Between the ship's buildings, there are three huge masts, each of which has an observation deck.

Terrific!

Because he was housed on a passenger ship, Shirojo could only wait and see from afar.

Now after boarding the flagship, I sincerely feel the majesty of the warship.

No wonder whenever he talks about his own warship, Dongfang Yan is always extremely proud.

"Sir?"

Dongfang Yan tugged at Bai Tiao's arm.

"Hmm. ”

Bai Tiao was a little stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he found that only himself and Dongfang Yan were left on the deck.

"Amazing, right?"

Dongfang Yan looked at Bai Tiao proudly.

"Hmm. ”

For the first time, Shirajo has a crush on the ship.

No wonder the East is not wise and yearns for the sea.

Sailing such a ship across the world does make people feel extremely heroic.

"Let's go, don't let my father and them wait. ”

"Good. ”

Dongfang Yan dragged the white strip and walked into the cabin.
