Chapter 351: Is She Thinking Too Highly of Us?
Nowadays on the ocean, whose power is the most powerful? Undoubtedly the Black Pressing Pirate Group protected by dragons.
After sweeping away all the maritime forces, the current Black Pressing Pirate Group has become an unprecedented behemoth possessing more than sixty large sailing ships, hundreds of medium and small cargo ships, and thousands of small sampans.
However, that's about it. The ocean is large, but there are too few people, and the economy is not particularly active. After unifying the entire ocean surface, survival has instead become the biggest problem, because they can no longer rob unscrupulously like before.
Of course, in the foreseeable future, the number of ships coming and going on the sea will increase, and the economy will gradually prosper.
Because the pirates have all been wiped out, the risk of maritime routes has been greatly reduced, and many merchants will definitely choose maritime routes due to cost factors.
Even if they go south all the way from the Star Republic, circling the entire continent along the coastline, and come to the east, the transportation cost is lower than the transportation cost on land, which is very suitable for bulk trade.
Not long ago, Silver Coin said to Negris in the consciousness space that he wanted to organize manpower to carry out sea transportation, transport the bird droppings of Dragonfall Valley to the sea through the West River of Dragonfall Lake, transfer to sea transportation to go south, bypass West Wind Corner, and go straight to the east, which could save a lot of costs.
However, it takes time for maritime routes to grow, but people have to eat every day. Especially after all the pirates were wiped out, the original pirates all turned over a new leaf and became members of the Black Pressing, so feeding them became a big problem.
The main source of income for the Black Pressing is collecting protection fees, but the problem is, you can't collect protection fees as much as you robbed before. Fine water can flow long, right?
There are no fewer people, but the income is less, so they must open source and reduce expenditure.
What is the fastest way? Renting.
More than sixty large ships and hundreds of medium and small ships will get moldy if parked at home. The pirates have been wiped out, and they don't need so many ships. Of course, they are rented out to transport goods and people.
Black Night Crow can't handle these, and in the end, Silver Coin sent people to assist, but the people sent by Silver Coin are a bit hard to describe.
A pile of sailors gathered on the deck, clapping their hands forcefully: "Pa pa pa, pa pa pa, Dragon Protection! Enthusiastic Service! Pa pa pa, pa pa pa, Smooth Sailing! Wind and Rain Proof!"
The shouting was loud, and the content was awkward. At least the listeners were very awkward. In the cabin, some knights wearing holy armor of Light had expressions of constipation: "This is... are these still pirates?"
"Doesn't look like it, more like those Goblin Chambers of Commerce."
"And it's not for business, yet enthusiastic service? Serving whom? Those heretics who were slashed?"
"These are heretics, and Dragon Protection? Where did the heretic believers come from? Wait a moment and we'll come back to slash them."
"You think too much. Do you forget what they shouted when they got on the ship? People are on the ship, people die, the ship dies. If you slash them, this ship will definitely explode. Can you swim to the shore?"
"...... Forget it, I can't swim. I've been vomiting since I got on the ship, and my legs are soft."
"The lord is amazing, actually thinking of ambushing at sea. We don't have enough ships, so we rented pirate ships. When we suddenly kill to the shore, that dog thief Anthony will definitely be stunned."
"Yes, yes, he will definitely be stunned."
When they killed to the shore, they were indeed stunned.
Two large ships activated the ramming magic array at the bow, ignoring the rocks on the shore, and rushed directly to the beach. The doors at the front opened, and the Ruling Knights riding on horses swarmed out, rushing toward the target.
This is also the reason why they must rent pirate large ships. One is that the load is heavy, the second is that the bow has a ramming magic array, which can directly rush the beach, and the third is that the bow can be lowered and set on the beach, so people in the cabin can directly rush down to launch an attack.
"Kill! Holy Light Protection, Arbitration is Invincible, Ruling Knights Long Live! Long... Long... Finished?"
The Ruling Knights who rushed onto the beach thought they would see the enemy formation in a mess, and the Chief Judge would take advantage of the enemy's strict defense against the sea enemy to impact the enemy formation from the side, breaking it up.
Then they just had to push forward after getting off the ship. This was their original plan, and it was the simplest and most efficient plan under this terrain limitation. Other more complex plans wouldn't work, and the variables were too large because they couldn't control the ship.
Just didn't expect that this plan changed too fast. Is the Chief Judge so vegetable? The corpse was actually propped up on the cavalry spear and inserted to the shore.
Not only the Chief Judge, but a group of accompanying knights also died in battle, with the same treatment for their corpses. Thus, the Ruling Knights who came down from the ship had to face the forest of corpses on the shore first.
And Ang's side didn't have any casualties.
This is incredible, but who let Ang know how to resurrect? As long as the head isn't shattered on the spot, he can save them. And after treatment, the skin is more tender and whiter than before.
The Ruling Knights were stunned on the beach, unable to advance or retreat.
Obviously, under the situation where the enemy was strictly defending, they were attacking upward from the beach and had to pass through a forest of corpses.
Although those corpses didn't get in the way, it was heartbreaking. Who could pass through a forest of corpses composed of warm companion corpses, attack the enemy position strictly defended, and still maintain morale?
Just at this moment, on Ang's line, a priest was pushed out. It was the one who sent the signal just now. He cried and shouted loudly:
"Children of God, Chief Judge Kaloke has abandoned the Light, sneak-attacked Lord Anthony, and is guilty of heinous crimes. He also deceived others, led everyone onto a crooked path, don't be fooled. Surrender, surrender to the merciful Lord Anthony."
"Traitor, damn dog-headed man, traitor!" Among the Ruling Knights, the leading officer cursed viciously. He was Kaloke's die-hard loyalist and couldn't surrender to the enemy. He was still thinking about how to take revenge.
"Not surrendering, right?" Anthony turned to the little angel and whispered a sentence.
The little angel was so excited that it brushed open its true wings and flew up.
The Ruling Knights on the beach were in an uproar and confusion: "Holy... Holy Spirit Angel."
"Don't panic, don't panic, just a two-winged low-rank angel, just be careful."
The words had just fallen, and light flowed behind the little angel, and a pair of light wings spread out.
"Four... four-winged angel!" The Ruling Knights' voices were a bit panicked, because the biggest gap between a four-winged angel and a two-winged angel was not combat power, but the ability to release a big move—Holy Light Shining.
They either scattered or were bombed.
"Don't panic, don't panic." The voice that just told everyone not to panic was also a bit panicked now: "Just a four-winged angel, form a formation, form a formation!"
It was not easy to form a formation, but suddenly saw the little angel draw a Great Angel Staff.
"Great... Great Angel Staff?" The Ruling Knights were even more panicked.
"Don't panic, don't panic, just a Great Angel Staff, maintain the formation, front row Holy Protection Art—Holy Protection Wall."
Just when everyone thought the little angel was about to release a big move, it turned around and flew back, holding the Great Angel Staff, toward Ang: "Ao!"
Ang shook his head: "Ao!"
"Ao~" The little angel flew up dejectedly again, raised the Great Angel Staff, and began to aim.
The Ruling Knights were completely panicked: "What... what is it doing? Want to add gain to the Great Angel Staff?"
"Seems like it, it asked that Ascetic Ang to add gain to its Great Angel Staff, but was rejected."
"Four-winged angel, plus Great Angel Staff, and still want gain? Is it... is it thinking too highly of us?"
"...... Run!"
The Ruling Knights scattered and fled.
"Don't run, don't panic, hold..." The leading Ruling Knight shouted urgently, but before the words were shouted, a thick beam of light shone on him, swallowed his body, and incidentally swallowed his die-hard loyalists behind him, and also plowed a ditch on the beach further behind.
The beam of light disappeared, and all the Ruling Knights illuminated by the Holy Light disappeared.
No wonder Ang didn't give it gain. The power was already overflowing now. If it was increased, it would have to hit the sea.
But the little angel didn't care. It just wanted greater power. If the power didn't reach the maximum, it wouldn't be happy. If it wasn't happy, it had to vent.
Turning the staff upside down, the Great Angel Staff became a Great Angel 'Hammer', and it was about to swing it and rush up, but was lifted by Ang who was prepared.
"Ao!"
There was no need to charge, for these Holy Judgment Knights were at a dead end; they discovered that the two pirate ships that had run aground were quietly raising their bows, with a crowd of people on the decks straining to winch the anchors.
As the anchors were winched, the heavy pirate ships were quickly dragged into the sea, regaining their mobility. Then, the skull flags were lowered from the bows, and Anthony's emblem flags were raised.
"God of Misfortune, even the ship we sat on was arranged by Lord Anthony? The lord's wisdom is everywhere. We didn't lose unjustly."
"Hey hey hey, you didn't say that on the ship just now. You called Lord Anthony a 'dog thief'."
"Do you have evidence?"
"I..."
The pirate large ship that restored its ability to move began to pursue the medium and small ships brought by the Ruling Knights. These ships didn't have the ability to rush the beach, so they were all watching the show behind, not expecting it to turn out like this in the end.
Small ships couldn't beat large ships, and couldn't even run away, so they soon lowered their sails and surrendered.
Anthony tied all these people up and pushed them aside. As for how to deal with them, no one was interested. With Anthony's means, these captives could be kneaded round or flat, and then obediently listen to him.
Negris was more interested in the two large ships on the sea, and the group boarded the ship.
"This ship is really big. How many tons is this ship?" Negris asked.
The captain and first mate who greeted them said proudly: "Nine hundred tons."
"That's not small. Where is your captain?" Negris asked. It didn't know any of these people, only Black Night Crow. Everyone was not familiar, so it was not easy to ask about some sensitive things.
The captain pointed to the distant sea: "Over there."
The sea was unobstructed and boundless. Negris looked over, but couldn't see anything, let alone ships, not even flying ones.
However, not long after, there was a splash, and three strange ships floated up from the water not far away.
These were three fully enclosed strange ships, shaped like olive pits. The volume was not large, and the length was estimated to be less than one-tenth of the nine-hundred-ton large ship they were currently on, but they were topped with a thick ramming horn.
This ramming horn was currently stuck to the body of the strange ship, but there were iron chains at the back. Obviously, tightening the iron chains would make it stand up and become an inclined angle.
Negris saw the horror of this ramming horn at a glance. If these three strange ships could sail underwater, then after the ramming horn stood up, they wouldn't need too high a speed to break the enemy ship's waterline and ram a big hole in the enemy ship's hull.
The cabin cover on the top of one of the ships opened. First, a snake person crawled out, and then Black Night Crow. Seeing Ang and the others on the ship, she jumped and waved excitedly: "My lord! Lord Negris!"
After speaking, she unleashed battle qi and stepped onto the sea with quick steps. The battle qi under her feet stirred the seawater, actually letting her run all the way across the sea.
But she wasn't handsome for three seconds. With her strength, she couldn't support such consumption at all, and she 'oops' and plunged into the water halfway through.
It wasn't until a long time later that she climbed up from the wet water, laughing awkwardly: "Too far, miscalculated, miscalculated, ah-choo."
Ang waved his hand lightly, elemental repulsion, quickly driving away the water elements on her clothes.
Black Night Crow, whose body became dry and refreshed, flapped her clothes and knelt on one knee: "Pay respects to Lord Ang!"
The captain and first mate were shocked, looked at each other in shock, and also knelt down with a thud.
Black Night Crow is now a legend among pirates, known as the King of the Four Seas. Except for the Golden Dragon, she had never seen her kneel to anyone. What is the background of this Lord Ang?
Ang tilted his head and didn't speak, but waved his hand, using elements to lift her up. Look, Ang is not just someone who makes people feel awkward.
Black Night Crow asked excitedly: "My lord, why are you here? Are you here to see me?"
Negris rolled her eyes: "Yes, yes, yes, we are here specifically to see you. How have you been lately? What's going on? How did you get mixed up with the Church of Light."
Black Night Crow ignored Negris's eye-rolling and introduced the situation of these ships.
"So that's how it is. Being able to think of renting ships, the idea is not bad. It doesn't look like an idea that can be thought of by your silly brain." Negris said.
Black Night Crow scratched her forehead awkwardly: "Uh, it was an idea from a professional sent by Lord Silver Coin."
Negris slapped his waist: "I knew it, I knew I wouldn't see it wrong."
Black Night Crow smiled shyly as if she had been praised, and then reacted: Negris didn't see it wrong, doesn't that mean she really has a silly brain?
"What kind of ships are those? Strange, where did you find them?" Negris asked about the strange ships everyone was most interested in.
"Oh, that's the Unicorn Whale, a semi-submersible ship that can dive underwater for a short time. Snake person technology, but since their god died, they haven't been able to build it. These three were built with the help of Lord Bruske."
"Oh, it's that kid. That's fine, I'll find him later to understand the principle." Negris said. It knew that it couldn't ask for the full principle from the silly Black Night Crow.
That kid?! The captain and first mate subconsciously tensed their whole bodies. Golden Dragon Bruske, was actually called 'that kid' by this young dragon? What is their background?
"I heard that the Church of Light rented ships to transport people. I knew they were planning to ambush someone. Renting is renting. Anyway, the money was enough, but I was afraid they wouldn't keep their word and move against my ships and people afterward, so I drove the Unicorn Whales to follow quietly. If they dared to move against my people, I would wait for them to grab the ship, then ram and sink these ships, letting them be buried in the sea."
The captain and first mate wiped cold sweat.
"By the way, my lord, when I was lurking in the sea just now, I found some buildings in the sea, as well as several statues of gods." ===== CHAPTER 352 =====
