When the first ray of the sun shone on the coastline first, the six relied on the ordinary people after the people helped Renkou. I've already gotten up and started to get busy.

Fifty kilometers outside the town of Yuanfan, there is a seaport, and this seaport is the city of Aps.

The city of Apus is arguably the place with the highest number of workers in the nearby area. Not only because it is the largest seafood trading place, but also because merchant ships dock and load and unload. The fact that it is built around more than a dozen small towns also indicates the prosperity of the place.

When summer comes, fishermen gather at the fish market to bargain with the vendors and customers who come to buy fresh fish. And the loading and unloading of cargo ships at those ports also requires cheap labor to do it.

Merely. With the recent pirate crow. There are many fewer cargo ships coming and going to and from the sea, and there are even fewer ships docking at this sea to load and unload goods, and even if there are, most of them are engaged in short-circuit trade, and the profits are pitiful. The amount of money that can be paid to the helper is even more limited.

Although due to the lack of population after the demon disaster, it is also possible to arrange all of them to agriculture.

But for the sake of the long term, the various lords kept the townsfolk who specialized in this type of work.

It's just that. The ravages of pirates have left these people unemployed.

At this time. Most of the men who came to look for work sat in the corners, looking at the passers-by with expectant hope in the daylight. I hope that some of these people will come to hire customers, so that they can get some money and go home on errands.

"It's getting hotter and hotter, and after a while, I'm afraid it's even harder to find a job. At this moment, a worker with the upper body ** is sitting in the shade, his face full of worry.

Even though it was early in the morning, the huge sniper in the sky still exuded a scorching aura, and as long as it was exposed to the sun, within a few minutes, the skin of the person exposed to the sun would turn red

In a few days, I am afraid that the weather will be even hotter, and if they can't find any more work to do, they will have to dry up.

"yes. In this kind of weather, it's not easy to do anything. Especially when there is little work like this. In the past, I could give a copper coin by carrying goods a few times, but now I have less life. Carrying it ten times, I can't give a copper coin, and after the demon disaster, the price has risen so much, if you don't think about a way, the whole family will starve to death. ”

There were seven or eight people sitting in this shaded area, all of whom were dressed in vegetables, the result of long-term malnutrition.

Listening to the worker's sigh, the person sitting next to him also remembered his own troubles, and also sighed, his tone was decadent and lost.

"Yes, yes, the Scourge Network has passed, and there have been pirates again. I can't live this day. When the others heard this, they were all resonated with and chimed in.

These workers are all in the same town, although the lords of many territories will not be too cruel to the people, and they will definitely not be as kind and loving as Romon to love the people, and most of the commoners in the territory are farming for the lords. Farming for the lord, most of the grain has to be handed over, the food left by their own family can not maintain the consumption of the family for a year, many farmers are busy farming when the farm, when the farm is slack out to find work, otherwise, just rely on the remaining grain to live, life is really a little tight.

The same goes for these people from the small villages and towns around the port. It's just that their lives have been really hard in the past six months.

In the past, they could have relied on the work they had found in the port of Aps, helping the helpers earn some money to support their families. But now, the ports closer to the town are all under the influence of pirates, and the merchants can't even take care of their own lives, so how can they think of these laborers who depend on them to live?

Originally, these people were counting on the newly formed Fifth Fleet to rid them of pirates and make their lives better.

But I heard that there has been no news from the Fifth Fleet since it went to sea, and it is estimated that the pirates made dumplings. Now these pressures from life are like the huge sun in the sky, scorching the internal organs of these croppers. If the caravans don't go to sea, they don't need to unload and move goods, and they don't have to unload and move goods, so naturally there is no place for them. A few months of free time are secondary, if the days to come, they will be so endlessly free. I'm afraid their days are going to be even harder.

"You say, what happened to the Fifth Fleet that went to sea? Why did it suddenly disappear? That's eight warships! We've all seen it with our own eyes, and each ship is so big, and it's a behemoth wherever it is placed, how can such eight ships suddenly disappear in the sea?" These people who knew each other well naturally sat around and chatted about their idle days, and in addition to their respective family affairs, they talked about the Fifth Fleet.

After all. This incident is recent, and it has a lot to do with their lives. They talked about it with a lot of nervousness.

"Isn't it, I heard that the representatives of those trading houses also gave a lot of gifts to that adult, and as a result. As soon as the other party went to sea, there was no news, but I was afraid that those people would cry too. A worker lazily picked up the conversation.

They did have a lot of hardship to live without work, and for the Coast Caravans, who were given potassium and all sources of income, it was a small point of view

At the time when piracy was rampant at the beginning, these caravans that survived on sea trade still went to sea several times from time to time, and with the strange disappearance of the Fifth Fleet, no caravan dared to go to sea again.

Even if you go in a group, you will die if you encounter those murderous pirates, and gold, no matter how valuable, is not as valuable as human life. By this time, the caravans in the county had already begun to make plans to evacuate the area.

If we can't afford to provoke us, can't we still hide? If we continue to work like this, no matter how powerful the caravan is, we will have to finish it.

The workers were lazily basking in the sun and chatting, and not far behind them was a sentry post tasked with monitoring the situation at sea. There were several soldiers sitting or lying listlessly against the wall, staring at the blue sky in a daze.

The workers chatted about the topic. Unknowingly, it turned to the occupation of these soldiers

"You see those sentries stay in the sentry post all day and don't have to do anything, in fact, it's pitiful enough, I heard that because those naval warships that went to sea suddenly disappeared in the sea area, the people on it got angry, and even those of them who were responsible for observing the situation at sea were all punished together, not only were they deducted a month's salary, but they were also severely scolded by the officials from above, saying that they were not doing things well, in fact. What does the affairs of the navy have to do with them? The current situation is really chaotic. A worker who knew something inside the story sighed.

"Don't just say they're pitiful. Who's going to pity us? We've been sitting for almost a morning, and we don't even have anyone to work for, and our family is still waiting for me to get the money back, and it's not a good idea to go on like this, when will those damn pirates leave? Another worker said helplessly.

At this moment, someone happened to come to the port to recruit some workers to build houses, and the shouting of the chief was heard by these men. The men jumped up and ran over.

And in the sentry post where they had just been arguing, a sigh suddenly sounded. A middle-aged sentry stood up, walked into the house a little decadently, refilled the deflated water bladder, and worked in this sentry post were all soldiers who were not very good in the city, otherwise, who would like to come here every day to blow the sea breeze and bask in the sun?

The middle-aged sentry looked at the other soldiers lying by the wall, and walked to the side of the checkpoint while drinking some water.

This outpost was built quite high, although there were many gaps in the side wall of the outpost due to the wind and sun and the disrepair, but the overall sentry was still very strong. The checkpoint is about two stories high, and you can see far from the sea.

The middle-aged sentry is the person in charge here. So no matter how reluctant he was, he still looked at the sea in a serious and responsible manner. For fear that something unusual would happen, and he didn't notice it.

As a result, it doesn't matter. He was almost choking on drinking water, and the boss whose mouth suddenly opened even fell on the water bladder in his hand. The water was spilled all over the ground without noticing.

After a long time, the sentry cried out, "Quick, come and see!

"What, are there any pirates?" the sentinels, who were still lying on the ground like dead pigs, jumped up with excitement when they heard this. Standing on the edge of the checkpoint, looking out into the sea, I saw a dozen warships coming from a distance, following their harbor and heading to the other side.

The ships sailed majestically in the wind, and a flag with the symbol of the Fifth Fleet on the main battleship was constantly flying in the sea breeze, and below the flag, stood a group of sailors, who stood on the deck with their waists straight. A few people were tilting their heads, looking at this side of the coastline.

"The Fifth Fleet is back! Look! It's the Fifth Fleet back!"

The people on the coast had not yet discovered the warship on the sea, and when the battleship was close, the people who were chatting at the sea stood up in panic, their first reaction was that the pirates were coming, and when they ran some distance and looked back, they remembered that the flag on the battleship belonged to the Fifth Fleet.

And the faces of the sailors that had been clearly seen were indeed those they were familiar with. People finally got rid of their fears, screaming and shouting in surprise.

"We went out to the sea to destroy the pirates' Fifth Fleet, and everyone watched, under the leadership of Baron Tetashaw, we have eliminated a pirate and captured four ships!" There was a loud sailor shouting at the shore.

This is what Romon has told him to do, and it is important that the news spreads quickly.

Sure enough, listening to this shout, everyone cheered when they saw that the number of ships had changed from eight to twelve.

The Fifth Fleet is back, and after more than twenty days at sea, it is back,,

The Fifth Fleet triumphantly returned with four ships of booty,,

As these warships continued to move along the coast, and finally entered the far sail and docked, the news of these victories also began to spread to all directions.
