Time passed slowly, the harsh winter had become a thing of the past before you knew it, and spring was coming.

It's the season of life. Sinampei lay on Trisa's belly, feeling the beating voice of his child, Sinampei's heart was full of joy.

He was pleasantly surprised by the feeling of being a parent, and he never thought that there was such an inexplicable joy in the world. He used to think that children were very troublesome creatures, but when his own child was about to be born, he completely changed his old opinion.

It is an instinctive impulse of joy from the soul, and no matter how sensible a person may be, he cannot suppress his feelings at such a moment.

All kinds of people will have different answers, some will say that it is for ideals, some will say that it is for enjoyment, and some people will think that eating and waiting for death is the best way to survive, but biologists will give a cold answer: "In order to pass on your DNA, that's all." ”

Sinampei is obviously not a ruthless scientist, a person who can analyze everything rationally, but he still firmly believes that this is probably one of the greatest joys in life, and it may be more heartwarming than love.

However, at this moment, he was about to leave Leland for a while, leaving Theresa alone in the city.

He was going to Romain for nothing else, but for the meeting organized by the Pope, in which all the rulers of the city-state of Saranil would be present, to discuss how to deal with the growing crisis of Selman.

Teresa was supposed to go as usual, but it was clear that Theresa, with her big belly, was definitely not fit to appear in public. Sinampei couldn't imagine the scene where Theresa was asked by everyone with a smile on her face as her child asked who his father was.

Theresa, she's an unmarried woman, and she's only seventeen years old...... Well, if it were placed on the earth in the 21st century, especially in the Celestial Empire, Sinampei would definitely be killed by onlookers...... It can impregnate an underage girl. Definitely the beast of the red fruit does not explain.

Since the beginning of the spring, the activity of the Selman privateers has become more rampant, and it has reached an intolerable situation, not only military ships, but also ships that carry out normal trade activities in general, and even ships that carry supplies to Selman. The most daring privateer pirates will even wait for their prey to appear outside a large port like Adriatic, causing people to live in peace. This was especially true for the commercial city-states of the Republic of Jenova and the Republic of Adriatic, which devoted most of their energy to maritime trade. Although both Adria and Jenova used large inland fleets, such a scale did little to the guerrilla tactics of the Selman pirate ships, and even the tactics that had previously proved to be quite effective against Selman's ships proved to be useless.

Those guys simply won the essence of Chairman Mao's 16-character mantra of guerrilla tactics: "When the enemy advances, I retreat, when the enemy is stationed, I disturb, when the enemy is tired, I fight, and when the enemy retreats, I pursue." After Si Nanpei read the documents sent by the messenger, he couldn't help but sigh.

Sinan Pei thought about it, and he understood the hardships of these guys. Obviously. Selman's ship technology has taken a new step forward. After all, the Selmans also have traversers, and that guy's energy is obviously not ordinary, and he can mobilize sufficient resources for his own use to do what he wants.

To put it simply, he is using resources to climb the technology tree. At the same time, their tactical thinking is much stronger than that of the Litian Sect world, and at least they have a little Drake's style.

These Selmans were looking for lone boats to start with, as they had plenty of oarsmen and still had sail power. Therefore, the speed is particularly fast, whether it is a tailwind or a headwind, it can gain a certain advantage when facing the fleet of the Litian Sect. Face this method of warfare full of pirate style. The Adria and Jenova apparently did not come up with a plan of battle that worked. And unlike the lengthy naval warfare of this era, the Selmans were able to settle the battle quickly against merchant ships, even if they were armed.

Sinampe was curious as to how they did it, and in all the reports, it was described that the Selmans were able to use a powerful long-range weapon, especially the striking sails quite effectively once hit. The ship's power would be greatly impaired, and it would often be forced into broadside combat by the Selmans at this time.

Sinampei thought for a long time and didn't figure out what long-range weapons were specifically designed to strike sails, and it would be terrible if the Selmans had such a weapon! Although the military ships in the inland sea in this era still retained a large number of oarsmen, they still relied on sail power when the wind was downwind. It is almost unthinkable if a fleet completely loses sail power.

It wasn't until he talked about the word mother and son when he was with Theresa that Sinampei thought of it. What were the weapons of the Selmans.

It's not a weapon, to be exact. Sinan Pei was also limited by this word at the beginning - it should be a special kind of ammunition, chain bullet, or sub-mother chain bullet. In fact, the Selmans did not adopt any new weapons, they simply replaced them with a new type of cannonball capable of paralyzing local sails.

Si Nanpei smiled bitterly and shook his head, I have to say that Mr. Zhen Nanzhu is still quite smart, and he himself has missed this kind of product that does not require too high technical content and can greatly increase his own combat effectiveness.

This may also have something to do with the fact that he does not stay in the army for a long time, in terms of familiarity with the army, Si Nanpei dares to boast that there are not many people who can be stronger than him, but when it comes to the navy, he is far behind, although he is also confident that he will not lose to anyone by relying on the knowledge brought from the earth, but it is still a little worse than a naval war expert like Zhen Nanzhu.

What is Kapdan Pasha? That's an admiral!

Now, in order to deal with the trouble caused by Zhen Nanzhu, the Pope once again played the role of the leader of the Saranyi people, and summoned the leaders of the various city-states to discuss countermeasures.

Trade is definitely a top priority for the Saranyi, not only for the coastal commercial city-states, but also for the inland city-states, and the Selman Empire, which threatens not only trade, but also their lives, is definitely a superboss worthy of the castle rulers to come together.

It's just that this big boss is not the brainless AI that when playing the game dungeon, but a super empire with a traverser...... If you are not careful, it is not impossible for the world of Litian Sect to be destroyed. (To be continued......)
