The endless sea in early summer is always changing.︾
It was a torrential rain just now, but the next moment, the rain had already dissipated and the clouds were cleared. The sun shone, making the originally wet and cold sea soaked in clouds and mist, as if it was like a fairyland.
Seeing a figure passing through the air ahead, the phantom of the tree shadows swaying for a while and then gradually disappeared, Leslie spat out viciously, and spit out all the saliva that was salty and bitter because it was poured into the sea water.
This is already an area of 800 kilometers away from Thunder Island, and the nearest land coast is more than 300 kilometers away.
Looking around, there is no need to say a ship nearby, and you can't even see a ghost.
In addition to flocks of seabirds, there are also various large sea fish and even sea beasts that reveal their true appearance on the sea surface, you can only see a few scattered islands scattered nearby from a distance.
It is desolate, but not desolate.
Just looking at the large groups of fish in the surrounding waters, Leslie knew that this trip was definitely not worth it.
The sea fish near the coast have long been extremely sparse due to the years of salvage by fishermen near the coast, but there are still countless delicious sea fish and even sea beasts in the deep sea far away from the coast. It can be seen that the resources in the endless sea are much richer than people imagine.
No wonder I once said to Leslie before - If you want to be rich, please go into the sea.
Just fishing all the fish in front of you and bringing them back to the shore can at least sell tens of thousands of gold coins. It is enough to make ordinary people have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
Not to mention that the fish in the deep sea seemed to be endless. They didn't know how many fish they had hit along the way. If they found a suitable way to catch and sell, it would be enough for countless people to live a wealthy life from now on.
Of course, Leslie led the New Air Flight Chamber of Commerce frigate away from Thunder Island and into the deep sea this time, obviously not to find a group of fish.
This time his main task is to expel pirates in the nearby seas, further expand the scope of influence of Thunder Island, and at the same time, he continues to gain a reputation in the nearby seas, and completely break out of his name as the Pirate King.
It should be said that he has completed this main task extremely well.
After clearing all the pirates in the waters near the Rulson Kingdom, Leslie led the frigate to travel east. As long as he heard about pirates nearby, he would definitely come to the door to challenge him.
As for the results...
The New Air Chamber of Commerce frigates, which have more than twenty medium-sized magic frigates and nearly a hundred magic charge boats, equipped with countless magic crossbows, magic bazooka, and even several magic cannons, are not just a wooden sea ship, holding a big knife and chopping axe, and all long-range weapons are only comparable to pirates with ordinary bows, arrows and javelins.
No matter what kind of pirates, they could not even touch the edge of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's frigate. They were directly sunk by endless crossbow arrows and magic shells, turning into unjust souls on the sea.
In just one month, the new flight merchant frigate led by Leslie set a huge name in the southern waters of the Candela Empire.
In the island, these novel sea ships made of steel are all over the body, which are as scary as a devil.
In the past half month, all pirates have chosen to escape as soon as they hear the approach of the frigate led by Leslie, and they will never dare to have any thoughts of resisting.
So in fact, Leslie has never experienced even a battle in this half month, and it has always seemed extremely peaceful.
This made Leslie feel a little bored.
He decided to go out to sea to be a pirate to stay away from the Kingdom of Lampari.
But after exploring the sea for so long, he found that he had fallen in love with this kind of comfortable life.
Although life at sea is extremely unstable and the conditions are harsh, he has always been on the sea with high sky and wide sea, making him feel unprecedented pleasure and freedom in his body.
The battle with the pirates also made him feel very happy. Seeing the pirates who committed evil deeds to ashes, he felt no guilt at all and felt refreshed.
The only thing that made him feel a little unhappy was that the New Air Chamber of Commerce frigate configured by Xu Yi was too strong, outrageously strong, so strong that other pirates had no power to fight back at all.
This made him feel like he was always bullying children and could not get any pleasure from it.
He mentioned this idea to Neval in the transport fleet, but received Neval's not directly but obvious contempt.
"To seek life at sea, being able to be peaceful is the greatest prayer, and there is no one who seeks death by himself."
Leslie was not a reckless man. Of course he knew this, but it did not prevent him from feeling bored.
"ha--"
Perhaps because of the gradually becoming hot sun, or perhaps because of the boredom, Leslie suddenly felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawn.
After glanced at the calm sea in front of him, Leslie was sure that no pirates would come to take the initiative to die, and thought to take advantage of this time to go to bed.
According to the goal assigned by Xu Yi through Neval, his next task was to completely control the entire southern waters of the Candela Empire and open up all maritime routes in the entire southern section of the Seines Continent for the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce transportation fleet.
This task is extremely arduous and takes a very long time, and it cannot be done in one or two months.
Leslie knew that he might not return to the Kingdom of Lampari in his life, so continuing to stay at sea was his next fate, so he was not very resistant to the goal explained by Xu Yi. Instead, he seriously treated this goal as his life goal.
Of course, this did not affect his time to take a nap at this time.
However, just as he turned around and was about to enter his commander's special cabin, Leslie suddenly felt the hull shaking slightly and he was slowing down.
The movement did not seem to suddenly hit some hidden reef, but rather the crew member responsible for driving the ship discovered something unexpected.
Leslie raised his head and looked at the lookout at the highest point of the mast. He picked up the magic call box.
“What’s the situation?”
The lookout's voice rang through the magic call box, and his tone was a little anxious.
"Sir. I found a large number of sea boats ahead, and it seemed to be coming directly at us!"
"Oh?" Leslie was a little surprised, then was shocked. "Haha, that's great! Is there some pirate who is not very eyebrowed to come and die again? I'm so idle. Now someone is coming here with fun, it's great!"
After having been in contact with a group of seamen and pirates at sea for a long time, all the noble ladies and wives in Anweimar and Bonta, Viscount Leslie, who had been gentle and noble in his mind, had inevitably been exposed to some vulgarity.
The lookout was not as excited as Leslie. His tone was still filled with panic.
"Sir, it seems...it doesn't seem to be a pirate. Because I saw those ships... hanging the flag of the Candela Empire!"
"Hmm?" Leslie was slightly stunned. "Is there actually a flag of the Candela Empire hanging? Are you sure you read it right?"
The lookout was silent for a while, and then the voice rang again.
"Yes, the little one reads right, it is indeed the Golden Lion Green Space Flag of the Candela Empire."
Leslie frowned and thought for a while, put his hand on the railing next to him, and when he exerted force, his body immediately jumped high.
Then he churned a few times in the air. His hand pressed on the highest mast a few times, and his body had already rushed to the observation deck that was more than ten meters high from overtime.
"Give it to me." Leslie snatched the telescope in the lookout's hand and looked in the direction he pointed.
Through the telescope lens, I saw that the sea surface in the distance was densely packed. There were about 30 or 40 huge sea boats quickly sailing towards this side along the wind direction at this time.
These ships were twice as big as the largest pirate ship Leslie had seen before, and they were not much smaller than the medium-sized magic frigate under his feet.
Leslie has been staying at sea for so long, and this is the first time she has seen such a large wooden sea ship.
Moreover, these sea boats looked basically the same. They cooperated with the hundreds of smaller sea boats following next to them, and rushed at the same speed on the sea surface, looking extremely powerful.
Just seeing this momentum, Leslie can be sure that this will definitely not be a pirate, because no pirate has such terrible strength.
Nearby, except for the sea fleet of the Candela Empire, it is impossible for other forces to have such strong maritime power.
With his eyes swept over the huge golden lions and green-bottomed flags hanging on the masts of those sea ships, Leslie further affirmed that these ships should be the regular sea fleet of the Candela Empire.
However, this made him very puzzled. The regular sea fleet of the Candela Empire suddenly dispatched a large army and made a special trip to do what he did?
"Sir, the other party is about to enter the effective range, what should I do? Or not?" The lookout on the side suddenly asked nervously.
"Fuck!" Leslie glared at him angrily.
Opposite is the regular sea fleet of the Kandera Empire. If it really starts to fight, it is tantamount to formally declare war on the Kandera Empire.
No matter how bored Leslie is, she will not do such stupid things.
What's more, Xu Yi is now trying to achieve a cooperative relationship with the Candela Empire. If Ridley really does this, it is equivalent to cutting off all possibilities.
"What should I do? Will I get them close to a dangerous distance?" The lookout was stunned.
Leslie picked up the telescope and looked at the Bailai Sea-Searching Ship that was approaching quickly. He frowned and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I will send my orders, and all the ships will stop, but we must be ready to start at any time and follow my orders."
The lookout responded to the order.
Leslie waited quietly for a while, and saw that the ships in the distance had begun to slow down slowly, he breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off the mast and came to the front of the deck.
All ships of the Frigate of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce had already stopped on the sea at this time. All ships of the Kandra Empire Fleet sailed forward for a while within the effective range of the frigate, and stopped less than five hundred meters away from the first medium-sized magic frigate.
Leslie, who was standing in front, frowned slightly.
This distance is already the range that many bows and arrows can reach.
The Kandra Empire's sea fleet did this, indicating that they had the possibility of launching attacks at any time.
A moment later, a voice rang out on the huge sea boat in the front opposite.
