"You said pirates appeared on the West Sea?"

When he heard the news, Caesar was lying on the ground playing cards with big eyes. Corgi, who possesses the memory of the gods, is very talented in this respect. Although he was just a beginner, he was able to play back with the Black Dragon. It is also the only guy who can make Caesar really attentive.

It is not uncommon to have pirates in the West Sea. As the estuary of the Black Wing Empire, countless huge trades in the sea must pass, and thirsty skull flags are justifiable, and Schiller once described in a certain opera: "— -They are sometimes adventurers, mercenaries, sometimes thieves, robbers. Once they see the shadow of profit, their hearts will float. If the profit exceeds 50%, they will dare to take risks; if it exceeds 100% , They can trample on all the laws of the world; and when more than 300%, they dare to commit any crime, even on the gallows. "

Therefore, even if the Black Wing Empire repeatedly carried out blood strikes, the pirate groups in the West Sea could not be completely eliminated. These skull flags would always emerge from all corners. Fighting against pirates has become a daily task of the maritime affairs department, and there is nothing to be surprised about.

Because this disturbs oneself to play cards. The black dragon hummed twice, shaking his head, feeling a little annoyed.

"Not ordinary pirates. They have organized and planned attacks on our ships, and these guys ... are not humans." The first captain, Clendo Stanson, said softly under the throne.

"is it?"

When Caesar heard the words, he faced up, ended the game, put the cards away and put them into a gap in his chin scale: "Specifically."

"All species that live in the sea, amphibians, skeletal sharks, arthropod reptiles, and giant sea beasts. They move to the east of the windless zone. Fan and Blackwing first, third, and fourth sea areas, no Cross the sea of ​​Villost. "

"They attacked all the merchant and transport ships passing by and ransacked the cargo without leaving alive. Three days ago, these guys also attacked our military port in the Doune Islands. Afterwards, we launched a full search and It turned out that they found a fortress half in water and half on land in the hideout of Jiaoyan Island in the first sea area. "

"This is what the caster observes, the emblem of the fortress." As he said, Clendor reached out and took out a canvas from his cuff pocket with a few pulsating pale waves.

"The kingdom of the deep sea." Corgi floated over, waving his tentacles and staring at the emblem, "How can the enemy of the empire not get here?"

"They reconciled." Caesar grinned sharply. "Seeing the gains from Villost, it must be jealous not to fall from the empire. Now these sea people have become their weapon against us."

The name of the deep-sea kingdom seems a bit strange to the northerners, but this does not mean that it is a small country with an unknown name. On the contrary, the deep-sea kingdom has left a lot of pen and ink in history. They were once Very strong, as early as the end of the first era of Eladia, traces of sea activities have appeared on the mainland. In the first seven hundred years of the beginning of the second era, this country that invaded the mainland was the main source of the Akkaron orc dynasty. opponent.

The racial talents in the sea may not be as outstanding as the land creatures, and the wisdom and creativity are difficult to match with the elves, dwarves and humans, but most of them have inherently strong physiques. With the affinity of the ocean currents in their bodies, the sea people are manipulating Compared to the storm, the waves have unique advantages to the casters-they are far more able to control the elusive elements of water and wind than the land creatures. On the sea, their combat capabilities will be maximized.

"What should we do? Should we establish communication?" Clendo asked.

"The other party's intention is quite obvious. Don't ask for more settings. Besides, even if you want to communicate, that's what you do after the fight." Caesar said lightly: "Send the fleet to deal with it, if you stop , Those weapons have no meaning. "

The Black Dragon ordered Hogg to arrange the departure of the Northern Fleet, and at the same time let Clendor take over the command of the Fleet.

"It's better to be cautious." Big eyes floated over, while the tentacles were turning several gold-plated elegy cards, and said quietly, "Deep-sea nations are not small countries that have recently risen. They have a long history and they are deep in the unknown. There may be more than one living benthic demon fish. "

"Is the benthic demon fish?" Caesar scratched his chin.

He hasn't seen this species, but turned it over in the last pages of the Book of Elladia Monsters, a cruel and cunning aquatic species. Although this kind of fish has the name of a fish, it is not actually a fish, but Is a soft-bodied predator like a squid,

In some ways, benthic demon fish have more talent and growth potential than dragons. They will inherit all the knowledge of the previous generation at the same time, and they can also absorb memories from the prey they digest. This has caused The benthic demon fish is a hunter who loves to eat and devour, and has a high degree of wisdom.

The benthic demon fish generally enslave a large number of aquatic life. In some southern folk rumors, they are kings of the deep-sea kingdom.

Caesar recalled all the information about this species in his brain, and confirmed that nothing had been missed before returning to his thoughts.

"I see. Arrange the fleet to sail." He still insisted on ordering Hogg, and then turned to Clendor and said, "First deal with the fortress of Jiaoyan Island. If you encounter any other problems ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Report to Wang Ting in a timely manner. "

"I understand." He answered in unison.

Over the years, the Black Wing Empire has invested high military expenditures. The Navy has never stopped the process of building warships. The strong industrial strength and technical reserves after the Industrial Revolution have enabled the Northland to manufacture steel giants far beyond the current era. The Northern Fleet The iron armored ship completely uses wrought iron to build the hull, and uses all the new technologies of the Northland, including magic guidance system, steam sail hybrid power, large-caliber breech gun, watertight compartment, propeller propulsion and side magic anti-armor.

Now, after years of construction and replacement of the Black Wing Navy, the raging steam enveloped the sky and the sea was torn apart by a steel giant. Under the control of the sailors and sub-commanders, the northern fleet steamed from the bay. Departing, lined up in a spectacular formation heading southwest.

[As an ordinary voyager, there are too many things in the sea that we cannot resist, such as storms and sea monsters. When you see them, you can only choose to escape. But if you are in a steel battleship, you will find that you can suddenly face them ... and defeat them! 】
