The ship came to a halt on the shore, and Sayles stepped up, knelt on one knee with his head bowed, and explained, "My lord, it has been four days since my subordinates received your order. A group of pirates were eliminated on the way, and it was only a day late. ”

"You're doing well, get up!" Lei Ming patted him on the shoulder with a gentle expression, and looked up to see that the navy escorted hundreds of ragged pirates off the ship and quietly stopped on the shore. The movement and static transformation are like a person, and the iron-blooded temperament is pervasive.

He retracted his gaze, his eyes sharply scanned the surrounding nobles, his eyes were over, no one dared to look at him, and everyone subconsciously chose to avoid it.

"Your Majesty, it's up to you to decide what to do with these people. Lei Ming looked like he had nothing to do, but he was quite happy in his heart. Although he has confidence, he is so slandered that he can't refute it, and anyone has a fire in his heart.

Glancing at the pale iron blue Blake, although he didn't like to slap his face, someone had to send it and didn't mind giving it a slap.

King Aubrey came back to his senses, swept away his previous depression, and said in high spirits: "I knew that Viscount Thunder would not deceive people, with these warships to join, why be afraid of pirates?"

"Your Majesty is right, now we have as many ships as pirates. Relying on excellent equipment, if you go to sea to conquer pirates, you can definitely win a battle. ”

"I avoided the war before just because I didn't want the soldiers of the kingdom to sacrifice too much, but those pirates mistakenly thought that they were afraid, but they became more and more arrogant, and they really killed themselves. Your Majesty, I know that you love the soldiers, but sometimes you have to die bitterly, and now is the time for those navies to pay back. ”

The nobles spoke one after another, and the thundering navy was strong, as if it was a shot of strength for them, and they swept away their previous worries and fears, and their self-confidence exploded.

The corners of Lei Ming's mouth raised slightly, and he secretly calculated that the time to snatch the grain and return to the territory was almost just right.

"In that case, who is going to survey the pirates first?" asked King Aubrey with a smile retracted and a deep voice.

The aristocrats closed their mouths one after another, looking at their noses, noses and mouths, and mouths and hearts, just like stone clay sculptures. Their confidence comes from setting out together to encircle and suppress pirates, and if they go alone, fools will go. In case you are wrapped in dumplings by pirates, you can't find a place to cry.

Just when King Aubrey was disappointed, Lei Ming stood up, hugged his chest in the eyes of the nobles looking at the idiot, and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my fleet to detect pirates. ”

King Aubrey was stunned for a moment, then looked overjoyed and praised loudly: "Well, Viscount Thunder is worthy of being the most loyal nobleman in the royal family." If I win this time, I swear in the name of the Newgate family that I will grant possession of the territory. As long as you can find the unregistered land, it's all yours. ”

He beckoned, and the waitress approached with a red cloak. King Aubrey glanced at the nobles around him with disdain, and sighed, "If all the nobles of the Newgate Kingdom are as loyal as you, why not worry? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thunder saluted and took it, the cloak was slippery and greasy, and it was obvious that the material was of the highest quality. When it is unfolded, the whole is bright red, bright as blood. In the center, a violet pattern is embroidered with gold silk thread, which is lifelike and can smell the fragrance of the flower.

"Sayles, let's go. He put his cloak over his body, greeted, flicked it with his big hand, and strode toward the warship.

Yarman took two quick steps forward and took out a document and handed it to Sayles. "It says that there may be a place for food, please pass it on to Viscount Thunder. ”

Sayles reached out and took it, nodded in acknowledgement, and turned to chase after him.

Lei Ming glanced at the information in his hand, bowed slightly, and threw it to Sayles. Walked on the warship, stood on the bow of the large warship, waved his big hand, and said coldly: "Set sail." ”

Hundreds of warships pulled anchor at the same time and sailed away from the island. Lined up in a cross shape, like a soaring dragon, riding the wind and waves, heading towards the depths of the sea.

The sun and the moon turn, and a day passes in a blink of an eye. The rising sun glows orange and shines on the sea level, making the surrounding scene clear. In the distance, an island seemed to have been lifted through the fog and revealed. As the fleet approached, you could even see a looming figure.

Thunder stood at the bow of the boat, his eyes flashing green, and the next forty minutes flashed through his mind like lightning. He retracted his gaze, frowned, and said coldly: "Rush forward, anyone who dares to block it will be killed." Remember, our purpose is only food and warships. ”

"Follow your will. Sayles was stunned and nodded solemnly.

The flotilla docked, and the navy rushed up in a swarm, fighting with the pirates. The sound of weapons clinging and screaming sounded as they gradually joined together. The corpses lay on the shore, and the bright red blood flowed into a stream and flowed into the sea.

Lei Ming put his left hand behind his back, standing quietly at the bow of the boat, watching coldly. The sea breeze howled, and the cloak hunted loudly.

An hour passed, the screaming stopped, and the Navy carried bags of grain onto the warship. Sayles walked over quickly with a piece of information, and said depressedly: "My lord, there are a lot of merchant ships in this group of damn pirates, but there is not much food, only about 20,000 catties. ”

Lei Ming listened carefully, touched his chin, and looked thoughtful. Waving his hand, he said, "The information given by Yarman should be more accurate, and continue to the next place." ”

"Yes, sir. Sayles took out the information and looked at it, and directed the warship to sail towards the nearest pirate gathering point.

Time is like flowing water, and three days have passed in a blink of an eye. The Grant Navy stopped fighting and began to move food in an orderly manner. Practice makes perfect, sweeping through more than two dozen nearby naval gathering points, and they have learned how to deal with these things quickly.

There was a soft knock on the cabin, a thunderclap answered, and Sayles pushed the door open and entered. Putting the information in his hand on the table, he said with a bitter face: "My lord, in these days of fighting, although I have exterminated many pirates and obtained many merchant ships, I have only obtained more than 200,000 catties of grain. ”

"So little?" Lei Ming frowned, got up and paced back and forth in the cabin.

More than 200,000 catties of grain seem to be a lot, but it is only enough for the people to eat normally for three days, and if you save a little, it will support five days at most. Now that there are nearly two months left before the autumn harvest, and now there is less than a month of grain left, do you just give up? What is the hard work and busyness during this time?

He slapped his palm on the table, and the ironwood table shattered, and the splinters of wood slammed into the transparent bucket air cover, rebounding and falling to the ground.

Lei Ming's fists were clenched, and his expression was full of unwillingness. He stopped and asked, "The information given by Yarman, how many pirate gathering points are there?"

Sails wiped the cold sweat on his face, lowered his head and said cautiously, "My lord, it has all been wiped out." ”

Lei Ming took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Now we can only find a way to let those nobles who drag their feet and fight the pirates as soon as possible. He thought for a moment and said lightly: "Set sail and return to the Morrick Islands." ”
