Chapter 1791: Strong Soldiers and Strong Horses Temporary Base
In the early morning of April 15, the harbor of the Cursed Lands was crowded with thousands of laborers carrying supplies to ships. In addition to the modified Xingchen, there are ten seven-story treasure ships docked at the dock, and in the middle of the river, there are twenty seven-story treasure ships waiting to sail into the port, all of which are going to follow Jiang Xingchen on an expedition to the deep ocean.
For this trip to the deep ocean, Jiang Xingchen specially mobilized 6,000 soldiers from Mingque Island, half of whom were veterans who had participated in the naval battles that year, and the rest also had considerable maritime experience.
At this moment, Jiang Xingchen was standing on the bow of the Xingchen, looking at the busy laborers on the dock below, staring, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Xingchen, can we really lure people out like this?" It was Tang Chuxue who spoke, and the little cat girl hurried over on the fourth day after she went back. Although she also felt that Jiang Xingchen took the initiative to attack, from her heart, she still didn't want Jiang Xingchen to take risks.
"It's hard to say!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head, according to his analysis, eighty percent of the enemies hidden in the dark were silver-robed people, because those high-level demon beasts that entered the sea area of the four islands were all affected by the mercury ball, even if they were all controlled by the monster that was suspected of being a divine beast, they were the only ones who could contact the mercury ball.
These silver-robed people are too mysterious, they have not revealed a single piece of news for thousands of years, and so many people sent by the Star Leader to various places have not found out, which shows how cautious he is, even if he puts the mercury ball on the Star Leader as bait, those people are not fooled. And through this demon beast incident, he felt that the other party must be acting secretly, and they already knew all his information, including the strength of the star leader.
What he couldn't figure out now was the purpose of letting the demon beast enter the sea area of the four islands, just like the old man said, except for causing losses, it had almost no impact on the star leader and himself, why did they do this?
"Then once the other party makes a move, can the family handle it?" This time it was the old man who asked.
Jiang Xingchen thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Then it depends on how they do it, if they use the means of Yin damage to attack the Star Leader, it is really difficult to prevent it, but once they do it, eighty percent will choose to kill with one blow and directly control the upper echelons of the Star Leader, this is the most effective and fastest means!
The old man glanced at Jiang Xingchen helplessly, and said unhappily: "I said, boy, don't you always be covered by clouds and mountains, what is the Yin Damage Method, what is it called again, you can make it clear!"
Tang Chuxue explained: "The means of damage is to control tourists, just like the suicide bombing of An Jiashizi a few years ago, it will be difficult to do!"
"Yes!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said, "Although the eyes of the person being controlled are abnormal, it is not easy to be found among tourists. I have ordered a strict examination of the main roads in and out of the Star Collar, but I still dare not guarantee it. ”
"What about the demon beasts, the demon beasts are the most troublesome if they are controlled!" The old man asked another question.
Jiang Xingchen replied: "Don't worry too much about the demon beasts, I already have arrangements!"
"Sir, sir" At this time, Wang Heng trotted to the bow of the boat, and reported with some excitement: "Those super bombs have been placed."
This time he went to the deep ocean, he was the commander-in-chief of the fleet, and the old man Wang Tong was going to go in person, but Jiang Xingchen specifically named Wang Heng's name. After learning the news, Wang Heng was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several days, and rushed to the cursed land with the sailors of the Wang family early.
It is said that Wang Heng is not an unstable person, and he has commanded the fleet many times, and he has fought several major battles. But the thought that he would command the world's first steel battleship made it difficult for him to control his emotions.
"You are now the commander-in-chief of this fleet, so you have a steady point!" Jiang Xingchen smiled and patted Wang Heng's shoulder.
"Oh!" Wang Heng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly put on a serious expression.
Jiang Xingchen smiled, didn't say anything else, and pulled Tang Chuxue towards the cabin.
"Relax, you nervous fart!" The old man scolded Wang Heng in a low voice, and also followed Jiang Xingchen.
Wang Heng grinned, scratched his head again, and when he turned around, he saw the two sailors covering their mouths and snickering, and immediately straightened their faces, and reprimanded: "Laugh at the fart, hurry up and get to work!"
At ten o'clock in the morning, all the supplies were loaded onto the ship, Wang Heng gave an order, and the Xingchen two flutes slowly drove away from the dock, followed by a large string of seven-story treasure ships
Two hours later, the fleet sailed into the sea, and a large group of monsters were already waiting here. Killer whales, swordfish, otters, and dolphins all followed. Hundreds of demon beasts gathered around the fleet, and the scene was quite shocking.
The sky was not deserted, and in addition to Pink and Ribs, two hundred skua gulls also went out with the team.
The huge fleet, the excellent soldiers, the powerful weapons, and these demon beasts made Jiang Xingchen feel like he was strong.
However, no matter how large the fleet is, it is also an insignificant drop in the vast sea, don't look at so many ships that run transportation, except near the port, they basically can't touch it. Jiang Xingchen and their fleet sailed all the way to Mingque Island for replenishment, and only then were they seen by the other fleets.
Of course, such a lineup attracted countless eyes, especially the all-steel Star, which was twice as large as the seven-story treasure ship, and shook all the fleets stupid, who would have thought that steel could also float on the water.
During the period when Jiang Xingchen was taken to the shore by Lao Si and Yan He to rest, the Xingchen was surrounded by people who came to watch, and the voices of surprise, envy, and admiration never stopped
After a half-day stay on Songque Island, the fleet continued its journey to the deep ocean. On this expedition, with the exception of the Stellar, the seven-story treasure ships were all dual-powered, with both steam-powered propellers and sails. Otherwise, with only the fuel carried by the seven-story treasure ship, it will not be able to run to the destination at all. Fortunately, there is still a westerly wind, otherwise in the summer, the wind direction will change.
However, in this way, the overall speed of the fleet was slowed down, and it took a whole month to reach the location of the deep-sea treasure after setting off from Narujaku Island.
Jiang Xingchen was observing all the way, and the deep ocean seemed to have returned to its previous state, the water temperature was normal, and the demon beasts were also normal. It wasn't until they got closer to the treasure of the deep ocean that the number of demon beasts gradually decreased. Whether it's a swordfish, a sea otter, or a dolphin or a manta ray, they are reluctant to go any further, and even killer whales are a little hesitant. In the end, it was Jiang Xingchen who lured them with dragon blood to let them continue to move forward.
"It seems that it is not far from that monster, otherwise these demon beasts would not react like this!" The old man stood at the bow of the ship and said with a solemn expression that he had seen the horror of that monster with his own eyes.
Jiang Xingchen thought for a while and said, "First go to the small island where you entered the treasure last time, there are still three hundred miles away from the real treasure, and you shouldn't be able to encounter monsters." Let's set up a temporary base there. (To be continued.) )
