"Okay! I know, I'm going to order a batch of clothes for those kids, and I'll use the money in your card! Ye Tianlong replied to Liu Shiyu with a smile.

Hearing Ye Tianlong's answer, Liu Shiyu finally showed a smile on her face, and the other party said that she wanted to use the money in her card, which could be regarded as giving her a sense of participation in doing good deeds, so her mood was a lot better for a while.

However, Guo Dafu looked at the back of the other party's departure, his brows were slightly furrowed, he could sense that the other party's qi and blood power was getting weaker and weaker, a human being in the prime of life, the qi and blood in his body should be very abundant, but the qi and blood in Liu Shiyu's body have now weakened to the extent that he is like a seventy or eighty-year-old man, it seems that the other party's condition has deteriorated very quickly, and there are not a few days left to live! I don't know how his master's elixir is refined, and whether he can get rid of it before Liu Shiyu dies.

After sending Liu Shiyu away, Ye Tianlong rushed to the beach to take a look, and at his request, Zhou Jiale's kid finally got two serious fishing boats, and today the camp organized some civilians who had been fishermen before to start fishing for the first time.

Ye Tianlong is now ready to see if he has caught any fish, and what are the types of fresh fish caught, if there are some fish that are more valuable in the real world, then he can also sell them in the real world and make some extra money.

However, before Ye Tianlong went to personally check the types of fresh fish caught by his fishermen, a hot air balloon floated towards the newly established simple fishing port, and at the same time, the soldiers above kept waving warning flags below.

Although it was already for Zhou Jiale to build a larger airship, but Zhou Jiale had two hot air balloons before, and Ye Tianlong did not waste it, but used it as a reconnaissance tool, allowing the soldiers to take turns to use these two hot air balloons to reconnoiter from the air, so that if there was another time for the invasion of the last large-scale pirate wargroup, they could also get early warning and have more time to prepare for war.

And now the soldier in charge of reconnoitring the enemy situation obviously found something about the enemy, so he will fly over the hot air balloon to warn them.

Ye Tianlong looked up and looked carefully, and found that according to the meaning of the flag displayed by the soldier, he had actually found more than 20 enemy warships, which were approaching his own fishing port. Among them, there is one large warship, and there are eight medium-sized warships.

In order to facilitate the use of flags to transmit information, Ye Tianlong and the others divided those warships into three grades according to their size some time ago, among which those with a length of less than 20 meters were small warships, and those above 20 meters and below 40 meters belonged to medium-sized warships. Forty meters above are large warships.

Because the countries above Calradia still used wooden warships, and the power was also the original sail power used, they were not very large, and the large warships were only in single digits, and most of them were medium-sized warships and small warships.

But the enemy that appeared this time actually had a large warship, which made Ye Tianlong can't help but guess that this could not be a country that sent a regular army to attack the Nord Kingdom!

And just when Ye Tianlong was still guessing the identity of the enemy, on the sea not far away, although the more than 20 ships knew that they had been discovered by the other party, they were still speeding towards the location of Ye Tianlong's fishing port at full speed.

Obviously, this group of guys came specifically for Ye Tianlong, and on the large warship that was obviously the flagship, there was no flag of any country on it, but a pirate flag was deliberately hung.

However, the soldiers on those ships were obviously not pirates, these soldiers were better equipped and more disciplined than the pirates, and they stood straight on the deck, and none of them were chatting in private.

Inside the large warship, there was a lavishly decorated room, and in this golden room, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man was lazily reclining on a large bed, and beside him, several maids wearing only a translucent white veil were carefully feeding the man apples that had been cut into small pieces.

With the sound of heavy footsteps, a middle-aged strong man wearing full-body plate armor and a knight's hand and half a sword hanging from his waist entered the room, and loudly reported to the middle-aged man who was half-squinting and enjoying the maid's service: "Lord Ramon, we couldn't leave that flying machine behind, presumably the other party has already received the news of our attack at this time!" ”

"Hmmm! I see, but there aren't many good opportunities like this to take advantage of the situation, so I'll get all the ships up to speed, and I'll be in port for landing in an hour! ”

"Yes, my lord!"

At the command of the middle-aged man, a fierce warrior with a long whip in his hand came to the lower cabins of the warships, where a large number of slaves were chained to the ground with their hands and feet, and the oars they controlled were the additional power of these ships in addition to the sails. The temperature in the summer was already very hot, and in the lowest cabin, it was even more sweltering, like a steamer, and even if the slaves were not wearing a single piece of clothing, the sweat on their bodies was constantly flowing.

It's just that these slaves seem to have become numb from the years of torture, and they sit on their oars with blank eyes, motionless, trying to save their physical strength.

But after a few lashes, the slaves immediately stretched out the oars in front of them through the hole beside them, as if stimulated, and rowed vigorously.

With the help of the vigorously rowing oars of these slaves, the speed of these warships increased at once.

And the reason why the middle-aged man had so many sturdy slaves under his command was because he was Ramon, the largest slave trader on the continent of Calradia, where more than 90 percent of the slave trade was in his hands.

To put it mildly, he has more wealth in his hands than even most kings and nobles, and it is precisely because of this that he was able to come up with such a large fleet in one go.

And this time, he led hundreds of elite soldiers and such a huge fleet over, it was indeed to deal with Ye Tianlong.

The Rudy who was killed by Ye Tianlong before was considered a veteran under him, and he was very valued by him, so after Rudy was killed by Ye Tianlong, Ramon immediately sent people to investigate Ye Tianlong's information and prepare for revenge.

It's just that what Ramon didn't expect was that Ye Tianlong's guy quickly hugged Baron Sol's lap, became a knight under his command, and also had a territory of his own.

Although Ramon was confident that it would not be a problem to defeat Baron Thor's army with those elite warriors under his command, but because the headquarters of his Chamber of Commerce was located in the territory of the Nord Kingdom, and he didn't want to completely tear his face with the Nord Kingdom officials for the time being, he endured it and didn't do anything.

After enduring it for a while, Baron Sol finally led his army to leave, answering the king's call to participate in the national war, and Ramon suddenly felt that his chance to avenge his men had come.

Although Nasol is only a mere baron, the title was canonized by King Ragnar himself, so if he has a conflict with him, it is equivalent to not giving face to King Ragnar, and it will not end well in the end, but Ye Tianlong is a small knight is different, this kind of low-level nobles canonized their own small lords are as many as cattle on the Calradia continent, and no one cares about one or two deaths, if you are lucky, you can throw this black cauldron on the pirates, and even if you fail to shake the pot, At most, it would be a loss of money, and King Ragnar, who was fighting with the Kingdom of Swadia, would never have time to administer justice for such a small knight at such a time.

However, Ramon had also heard before that Ye Tianlong had several extremely powerful firearms in his hands, and there was a large pirate war group of hundreds of people who wanted to rob him, but the whole army was wiped out. Therefore, Ramon's attack this time is basically all out, and on the more than 20 warships, each of them is equipped with ultra-long-range weapons such as large bed crossbows and catapults, and its combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the regular navies of various countries.

In addition, the warship also carried a total of more than 800 elite soldiers, each of which is not inferior to the top soldiers of various countries, and the equipment is also excellent, and each of them is equipped with at least hard leather armor, scale armor and sleeveless plate armor, which is the heavy armor of the top soldiers of various countries, and there are also a large number of strong bows and crossbows in terms of weapons.

With this kind of troop and equipment configuration, it is completely possible to forcibly capture some small cities, Ramon doesn't believe it, and Ye Tianlong, a small maritime merchant who still has a firm foothold in the Calradia continent, can withstand his own surprise attack this time.

On the other side, Ye Tianlong made some inquiries from the air from the soldiers who had just come down from the hot air balloon, determined that the pirate flag of the fleet, and the direction of progress was obviously straight towards the fishing port of his territory, and he understood that this group of enemies was indeed not good.

So he let these soldiers take a hot air balloon and rush back to the camp as fast as possible to ask for help and transfer troops, while he directed his own fishing boats to temporarily enter the river to take refuge, and at the same time to see if there was a chance to block the group of enemies at sea first.

And if you want to fight at sea, it is naturally indispensable to warships, so Ye Tianlong asked Zhou Jiale about the progress of the transformation of his ironclad ship.

As a result, Zhou Jiale told him that most of the ironclad ship had been almost refitted, and now it was almost repainted.

When Ye Tianlong heard this, he immediately asked the other party to get the ironclad ship over, after all, there are so many cannons on that thing, even if he doesn't have enough manpower to open it for the time being, it's not bad to be a fixed battery! You must know that the warships on the Calradia continent are all made of wood, and they are completely powerless in the face of those solid shells fired by their own artillery! A few shots could sink a battleship.

Soon, Zhou Jiale returned to the world of riding and chopping with the basically renovated ironclad ship, compared to before, this ironclad ship has not only removed a lot of the original heavy equipment, but also changed in the configuration of the artillery, the twelve main guns are still the 150 mm caliber heavy guns, but those secondary guns have been replaced from the previous 80 mm caliber artillery to the 60 mm caliber burst artillery that only began mass production some time ago.
