Heaven’s Intention

Chapter 387: First win (on)

In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight hit the coastline. Ordinary leader who lives by giving help. Already got up and started busy.

Fifty kilometers outside of Yuanfan Town, there is a harbour, which is the city of Apps.

Aps City can be said to be the place with the largest number of workers in the nearby area, not only because it is the largest seafood trade place, but the docking, loading and unloading of merchant ships and the construction of more than a dozen small towns also herald the prosperity of this place.

Whenever summer comes, fishermen will gather in the fish market to bargain with the vendors and patrons who come to buy fresh fish. And the loading and unloading of cargo ships at those ports also requires cheap labor.

However, with the rampant pirates in recent times, there have been fewer cargo ships going to and from the sea, and the number of ships docking and unloading cargo at this harbour is even more pitiful. Even if there are, they are mostly engaged in short-circuit trade. People, pitiful with little profit, the money that can be paid to helpers is even more limited.

Although due to the lack of population after the devastating disaster, all arrangements can be made for agriculture.

But in the long run, all lords have retained townspeople who specialize in this type of work.

It's just that the rampant pirates made these people unemployed.

at this time. Most of the men who came to find work were sitting in the corner, looking at the pedestrians with expectation in their eyes. I hope that these people will have a few patrons who come to hire workers, and they can also take some money to go home to pay for business.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and after a while, I'm just afraid that my livelihood will be harder to find." At this moment, a worker with a naked upper body was sitting under the shade, worried.

Although it was only early in the morning, the huge sun in the sky still exhaled a hot breath. As long as it was exposed to the sun for less than a few minutes, the skin of the tanned person would redden.

In a few days, I'm afraid that the weather will become even hotter. If they can't find a job, they can only do it.

"Yeah, it's not good to do anything in this weather, especially when you have less work. In the past, you can give a copper coin a few times, but now you have less work and you can't give a copper coin ten times. After the disaster, prices have risen so much, and I do n’t want to find a way, the family will starve to death. "

A total of seven or eight people were sitting in this shade of greenery, all of them were dish-faced. This was the appearance of chronic malnutrition.

Hearing the worker's sigh, the person sitting next to him also remembered his own troubles, and also sighed. The tone was decadent and lost.

"Yeah yeah, just after the magic disaster, and pirates again, this day really can't be over." Others heard it, and they were all resonated, and they all echoed.

These workers are all in a town. Although the lords of many territories will not exploit the people too much, they will never be as kind and loyal to the people as Romon. Most civilians in the territory are farming for the lord, and most of them are farming for the lord. The food must be turned in. The food left by the family ca n’t sustain the consumption of the family for one year. Many farmers are farming when the farm is busy, and come out to find work when the farm is free, otherwise, relying on the rest The food is alive and life is really a bit tight.

The same is true of these people from small villages and towns around the port, except that their lives have actually suffered in the last six months.

If they were in the past, they can still rely on the work they find on the port of Apps City to help the workers earn some money to supplement their homes. But now, the ports closer to the town are all under the influence of pirates, and the merchants can't even take care of their own lives. How can they think of these laborers who live by them?

Originally, these people also expected that the newly established Fifth Fleet could eliminate the pirates and make their days better.

But I heard that the Fifth Fleet hasn't heard any news since it went out. It is estimated that the pirates made dumplings. Now the pressure from life is like the huge sun in the sky, burning the internal organs of these crops. If the caravans do not go to sea, there is no need to unload and move goods. Naturally, there is no place for them to use their goods. Naturally, there is no place for them to use. A few months of idleness is still secondary, if in the future days They are all so endlessly idle, and their lives are just afraid of getting harder.

"You said, what happened to the Fifth Fleet going out to sea? Why was it suddenly gone? That was eight battleships! We have all seen it with our own eyes. Why did the eight ships of the ship suddenly disappear in the sea? "Since it's okay to be idle, these people who know each other naturally sit together and chat about the idle days. The content of the chat is about the fifth except for their family affairs. Fleet things.

After all, this thing happened recently, and it has a lot to do with their lives. When they talk about it, they are full of tension.

"Isn't it? I heard that the representatives of the business firms also sent a lot of gifts to the adult. As a result. The other party had no news as soon as they went out of the sea. I was afraid that those people would cry." Too much talk.

They have lost their livelihoods and have indeed lived a lot harder. For those sea caravans that have been cut off from all sources of income, that is nothing.

At the time when piracy was rampant, these caravans that survived on maritime trade went to sea several times from time to time. As the strangeness of the Fifth Fleet disappeared, no caravan would dare to go to sea.

Even if they walked in line, they would be dead if they met the murderous pirates. Even if gold is precious, it is not as valuable as human life. At this time, these caravans in the county have begun to evacuate this area.

Can't get upset, can't we still hide? In this way, even the strongest caravan must finish.

The workers were basking in the sun while chatting, and not far behind them was the sentinel checkpoint responsible for monitoring the sea. Several soldiers were listlessly leaning against the wall or sitting or lying, looking at the blue The blue sky is dazed.

The workers whispered to the subject, and unconsciously turned to the soldiers.

"You see that the sentries stayed in the sentry cards all day without doing anything. Actually, it was pitiful enough. I heard that because the naval warships that went out to sea suddenly disappeared in the waters, the people above were angry, and even they were responsible for observing the sea. The people were all stricken together. Not only were they detained for a month ’s salary, but they were also scolded fiercely by the officials from above, saying that they were doing bad things. In fact, what can the Navy ’s affairs have to do with them? The situation is really chaotic. "A worker who knew something inside sighed.

"Do n’t just say they are pitiful, who will pity and pity us? How much has been sitting for almost a morning, there is not even one person who is looking for us to work, the family is still waiting for me to take the money back, always like this It is not a way to go on. When will those **** pirates be able to leave? "Another worker said helplessly.

At this moment, it happened that someone came to the port to recruit some workers who built houses. The voice of the principal shouting was heard by these men. The men immediately jumped up and ran over.

And in the checkpoint they just discussed, a sigh suddenly sounded. A middle-aged sentinel stood up, and some decadently walked into the house, refilling the deflated water sacs, and working in this sentry card were all poor soldiers who mixed in the city, otherwise, who Willing to come here every day to blow the sea breeze to bask in the sun?

The middle-aged sentinel looked at several other soldiers lying by the wall, drinking water rather helplessly, and walked to the edge of the sentry post.

This checkpoint is built very high. Although there are a lot of gaps on the side wall of the checkpoint due to the wind and sun, and it is in disrepair, the whole is still very strong. The checkpoint is about two floors high. From here, you can see the sea far away.

The middle-aged sentinel was the main officer here, so he was reluctant anymore, and he was still looking seriously at the sea, for fear of something unusual, but he didn't find it.

As a result, it didn't matter at all. He was choking when he was drinking water. A boss with a mouth open suddenly, even the water sac in his hand fell on the ground, and the water was not noticed when he spilled it all over the place.

It took a long time before the sentry called out: "Come on, come on! Then, what is that!"

"What? Did any pirates come?" The sentinels, who were lying on the ground like dead pigs, jumped excitedly. Standing on the edge of the checkpoint and looking towards the sea, I saw that dozens of warships were walking from a distance, following their ports and walking towards the other side.

Those warships were majestic and windy, and the flag on the main battleship with the Fifth Fleet logo was constantly flying under the sea breeze, under the flag. A group of sailors stood, standing on the deck with their waists straight, and several people were tilting their heads, looking at the coastline.

"The Fifth Fleet is back! Look! The Fifth Fleet is back!"

The people on the coast didn't find the battleship on the sea at first. When the battleship was near, those who were chatting while looking at the sea stood up in panic ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Their first reaction was that the pirate came Then, when I ran a distance and looked back, I remembered that the flag on the battleship belonged to the Fifth Fleet.

The faces of the sailors who have been clearly seen are indeed those they are familiar with. People finally got rid of their fears and screamed and shouted in surprise.

"We are the fifth fleet to kill pirates out of the sea. Everyone is watching, under the leadership of Baron Tetasha, we have killed a pirate and seized four ships!" When the battleship passed through the port, the loud sailor rushed Shout ashore.

This is what Luo Meng confessed, and the news must be spread quickly.

Sure enough, listening to this shout, watching from eight to twelve, everyone cheered.

The Fifth Fleet is back ... More than twenty days after going to sea, it is back ...

The Fifth Fleet triumphantly returned with the spoils of four ships ...

As these warships continued to move along the coast and finally docked in Yuanfan Port, the news of victory began to spread to the outside world. (!)
