Chapter Eighty-Six: Reigning for Supremacy
Li Ang was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, that Swo can't find my fleet, shouldn't he return in vain?"
Princess Catherine shook her head and said, "He couldn't find your fleet, so he randomly found a few pirates and killed them as scapegoats, but instead he was rewarded by my father and prepared to make him the governor of Waterfront City!"
When Li Ang heard this, he immediately frowned.
Princess Catherine said: "You have two choices now, one is to continue to avoid Swo and wait until you have enough strength to challenge him, and the second is to lead your fleet to defeat the fleet led by Swo and recapture your waterfront city!"
Leon pondered for a while, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll return to the Empire now, and I'll make that Swo regret being my enemy!"
After saying that, Li Ang didn't care about inspecting Selena Island anymore, and hurriedly led the fleet to set sail again, heading in the direction of the western continent.
This time, Leon also took Salander's fleet with him, and gathered fifty ships.
Leon returned to the Western Continent this time to start a war with Swo, so naturally the more warships, the better.
Ten days later, Leon returned to the Western Continent with the fleet and docked at a port called Blackwater Harbor.
Soon, Leon came to the exchange and sold all the goods in the fleet, earning more than 20 million gold coins.
Then, Leon spent two million gold coins to purchase a large number of warships and artillery, and at once expanded his fleet to more than two hundred ships.
Swo's fleet had more than a hundred ships, and Leon now had more than two hundred ships, and with Scott, the Holy Lich to help, it should be enough to deal with him.
However, although Leon's ships have increased, the crew is a little insufficient, only a few thousand people, and it is difficult to control so many ships.
So, while leading his fleet in the direction of Waterfront City, Li Ang carried out the liquidation of the pirates in the sea along the way.
Eventually, Leon wiped out a dozen pirates, captured dozens of pirate ships, and captured thousands of pirates.
Leon used his blood golem magic to transform all of these pirates into his own blood golems.
Suddenly, the crew under Li Ang's command increased to tens of thousands, and the number of warships reached more than 280, of which more than 60 were assault ships, and the others were all gunboats full of cannons.
Such strength should be enough to bomb Svo's fleet to slag.
So, Leon led the fleet to kill the waterfront city.
A few days later, Leon's fleet came outside Waterfront City.
Leon first sent thirty of the fastest assault ships, and had them fly the pirate's skull flag and kill them in the harbor of Waterfront City.
Soon, dozens of artillery guns erected at the harbor of Waterfront City roared at the same time, and a large number of shells were fired at those assault ships.
Suddenly, the assault ships hurriedly turned their bows and fled backwards in confusion.
Soon, Svo got the news and led his fleet out of the harbor and chased after the thirty assault ships.
Swo was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, very handsome, with long brown hair, a silver earring in his left ear, a black sword robe, barefoot feet, and a two-handed giant sword as large as a door panel on his back.
I saw him looking at the assault ships fleeing in embarrassment, and said with a sneer: "Such an obvious plan to lure the enemy, do you think I can't see it, naïve!"
"Your Excellency the Governor, if we chase after us like this, are we not falling for the enemy's tricks?" said one of the lieutenants beside Swo.
"Hmph, in the face of absolute strength, all tricks are floating clouds!" Swo said with a confident smile.
I saw Swo wave his hand and shout, "Zuo Manrudder, use our reinforced artillery to completely sink these pirate ships!"
Suddenly, Swo's fleet turned their side guns at the thirty assault ships, and then fired wildly.
Although there were only more than 100 ships in Swo, they were all large ships of tens of thousands of tons, and the range and power of the guns on board were much greater than those of ordinary gunboats.
Hearing the loud explosion of "boom, boom, boom", the 30 assault ships under Li Ang's command were torn apart in the blink of an eye and sank to the bottom of the sea one after another.
Fortunately, those assault ships were just newly captured pirate ships, and they didn't shake Leon's roots.
The crew of the ship has been transformed into blood puppets, and they have jumped ship to escape under the shelling, and the casualties are not serious.
At this time, Leon commanded more than 200 gunboats under his command to outflank Swo's fleet from all sides, and ordered the remaining thirty assault ships to charge Swo's fleet.
"What, these pirates have so many ships?" Seeing this, Swo's eyes shrank and his face changed in shock.
"Lord Governor, there are too many enemies, let's retreat!" said the adjutant with a pale face.
"No, it's dead to retreat now, come on, give me concentrated firepower and attack the enemy's flagship!" Swo cried out through gritted teeth.
Suddenly, Swo's fleet turned its guns and bombarded the Exocet at sea, where Leon was located.
Li Ang snorted coldly and said, "Do you want to capture the thief and capture the king first, the idea is very good, but it's a pity that you don't have that ability!"
As he spoke, Leon waved his hand and summoned Scott.
Scott smiled and cast his rudimentary magic wind-making spell, creating a gust of wind that stirred up the sails of the Exocet, sending it flying at a high speed.
As a result, the shells fired by Swo's fleet landed in the air, failing to harm the Exocet in the slightest.
At this time, the fleet under the command of Li Ang took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the fleet under the command of Swo.
Hearing the loud sound of "boom boom" explosions, the warships under Swo were sunk twenty or thirty in the blink of an eye.
At this time, thirty assault ships under Leon also rushed into Swo's fleet and engaged the enemy ships.
The crews of these thirty assault ships are hidden by transcendent masters such as the Jack Mercenary Group, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.
Soon, twenty or thirty of Swo's warships were captured by Leon's men.
The strength of Swo's fleet shrank by half at once.
"Damn it, retreat, retreat!" Swo shouted with a gloomy face.
Soon, Swo led the remaining ships and hurriedly fled in the direction of Waterfront City.
"It's not that easy to escape!" Leon smiled coldly, and flew out of the air with Scott, chasing Svo's fleet.
Of course, it was inconvenient for Leon to reveal his true identity, so he performed a real transfiguration spell and disguised himself as a vampire.
Soon, Leon and Scott caught up with Svo's fleet.
Scott sent out a series of shadow rays and bombarded Swo.
Leon, on the other hand, used the Blood Blade Technique to send out a large number of bloody blades and shoot them towards Swo's crew.
"Ahhh
And Swo was also beaten and embarrassed by Scott, if it weren't for his own good strength and a few powerful magical equipment to protect his body, I'm afraid he would have been killed by Scott a long time ago.
Under Leon's bloody blade attack, most of Swo's crew was quickly shot down on the ship, and gradually refined into Leon's blood golems.
Soon, the dozens of warships gradually stopped, and no matter how much Svo roared and urged, they stopped advancing.
Swar finally realizes that he has failed completely.
I saw him staring at Leon and Scott in mid-air, gritting his teeth and saying, "Damn necromancers and vampires, I'll come back for revenge!"
As he spoke, Swo pulled out a teleportation scroll and tore it open, opened a spatial door and jumped in.
Seeing this, Li Ang shook his head regretfully.
Although this Swo's realm has not yet reached the Holy Rank, but being able to hold on under Scott for so long, he obviously already has a strength comparable to the Holy Order.
Let him escape successfully this time, and he will definitely become a strong enemy of Leon in the future.
However, Li Ang quickly put his regrets behind him, and continued to use the Blood Blade Technique and Blood Golem Magic, and continued to refine the remaining enemy ship crew.
In the end, Leon refined all of Swo's men into blood puppets, and obtained thousands of elite naval soldiers and dozens of warships.
At this time, Li Ang's ships had reached more than 300, and the crew had reached more than 20,000 people.
The inhabitants of Waterfront City saw the destruction of Swo's navy from a distance, and they were immediately frightened and fled in a hurry.
Li Ang flew over and shouted loudly: "Residents of Linshui City, you don't need to worry, I am the Pirate King of the Earth Sea, the Blood Dragon King, from today onwards, as long as your ship pays the toll and flies the flag issued by my Blood Dragon King, you can freely navigate above the Earth Sea, and any pirate who dares to attack you, I will stand up for you, snatch the goods back, and wipe out all those pirates who violate the rules!"
After listening to Li Ang's words, the residents of Linshui City gradually calmed down.
"This Blood Dragon King has great ambitions, he wants to be the king of the earth and the sea!" said a merchant in a trembling voice.
"However, it may be a good thing to have a pirate king who can subdue all pirates and establish a unified order, and in the future, we will be much less dangerous when we trade on the sea, and paying tolls, if not too much, is not unacceptable!" said another merchant thoughtfully.
Soon, there was a lot of discussion in the waterfront city.
Leon nodded with satisfaction, flew back to the Exocet with Scott, and then led his fleet back to Selena Island.
Soon, the Royal Knight's Badge flashed with magical glow.
Leon opened the badge, and the image of Princess Catherine suddenly appeared in front of him.
I saw Princess Catherine smile and said: "You are really powerful, where did you get a holy rank necromancer, Swo was wiped out of the fleet under his command this time, and fled back to the imperial capital in embarrassment, he was punished by his father, and Caesar was also reprimanded, I have taken the opportunity to recommend you to take over Linshui City, I hope you can do it!"
Li Ang smiled slightly and said, "Obey the order, and your subordinates will definitely not disappoint Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
