Chapter 48 Island Development
Regsaar squatted on the light-colored sandy beach of Thunder Island, basking in the warm winter sun that can only be enjoyed in the southern seas of the mainland, while staring at the vast sea in the northwest direction in a daze. Vertex Fiction,
The sea water was washed up on the beach by the waves from time to time, overflowing over his bare feet, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of coolness.
When the waves receded, white foam was left on the beach, just like when beer was poured into a glass.
Regsal licked his lips, strongly nostalgic for the delicious beer and ale at home that he drank to the point where there were only empty bottles left.
These wines were brought by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's fleet when they came to Thunder Island last time. They were mixed with the support materials that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's fleet gave to Thunder Pirates, and he took it all by himself without hesitation.
However, no matter how good the wine is, there will always be a day when it is finished.
It is impossible to drink the same delicious wine again on Thunder Island. The only way is probably to go ashore to buy it in Nixi City.
However, according to the news sent back, the Luerxun Kingdom has long put the Thunder Pirates on the wanted list, and the portrait of him, the head of the Thunder Pirates, has long been published. As long as he dares to go ashore, he may face being arrested immediately. Capture the fate of being imprisoned or even beheaded directly.
So Regsaar could only be trapped on the Thundering Island, staring at the distant sea in a daze every day, eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce fleet again.
Last time, the commander of the Xinfei Fleet named Neval said before leaving that, if nothing unexpected happens, he will often lead the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet through this route in the future, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will It is very likely that Thunder Island will be included in the development plan.
Regsaar saw the horror of the Xinfei Fleet with his own eyes, and learned a lot about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from other sources. Knowing that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can already be regarded as one of the top chambers of commerce in these nearby countries. So I have great confidence in Xinfei merchants. I am looking forward to it.
However, it has been more than four months since Neval led the new flying fleet, and no news has come yet.
Regsal waited day by day, and became more desperate every day.
"Damn it, won't you be tricked by that guy named Neval?" Thinking of this, Regsaar spat viciously on the beach and cursed in a low voice.
"Captain, who did you say was tricked?" Suddenly there was the rustling sound of the soles of the feet stepping on the beach behind him, and Dorom, the deputy head of the Thunder Pirates, squatted down beside Regsar.
"It's not the bastards from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Regsal replied cursingly. "It's clearly agreed to develop our Thunder Island. But it hasn't come yet. Isn't it just playing me?"
Dorom looked at Regsar with some surprise.
"Captain, I thought you were thinking of something without saying anything these days, so you were waiting for those people to come back." Dorom shook his head. "Captain, you are also an old pirate. Don't you know that those merchants don't have a single word of truth in their mouths? What Neval said is nice, but in fact he must be lying to us. According to me, since we are pirates , don’t think so much, doing our original business is the right way.”
Regsal sighed: "I don't know this. But being a pirate is not a comfortable thing after all. If there is an opportunity for everyone to work seriously and earn money, then of course I hope to grasp it."
Dorom was silent for a moment. Sighed: "Leader, I know you have been thinking about all of us, but this time, I'm afraid you are thinking too much."
Regsaar stared at the distant sea for a while, then shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's true that I was thinking too much."
After finishing speaking, he slapped his butt, stood up, turned around and walked towards the island.
Dorom was taken aback: "Commander, why are you going?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm going to fuck the guy and prepare to go to sea, and fuck our old man..."
Before he could utter the last word, Regsar turned his head, but seemed to be stunned, staring blankly at Dorom behind him, his face full of disbelief.
With a thought in his heart, Dorom quickly turned around, looked towards the sea in the courtyard, and saw several black spots approaching quickly.
It didn't take long for the black spots to gradually turn into several ships on the sea surface.
Although the distance is still far away, Doromo only needs to look at the outline to know that these ships are exactly the same as the three super giant steel sea ships that came to Thunder Island last time!
Three ships came last time, but this time, a total of seven ships came in one go!
And in addition to these seven huge ships that sail on the sea like hills, there are about twenty smaller magic ships around them.
Of course, this so-called smaller one is only relative to the seven giant magic ships.
In fact, each of these twenty or so ships was several times larger than the sea ships owned by the Thunder Pirates!
"No, they... they actually came!"
Dorom stared dumbfounded at the rapidly approaching sea ships in the distance, and after a while, he looked back at Regsar.
"Head, this... I... what should we do?"
"What should I do?" Regesal was stunned for a while, and then he said angrily: "What should I do? Why are you still in a daze, hurry up and call out everyone, and get ready to welcome the guests!"
"Oh, yes, yes..." Dorom agreed again and again, and rushed towards the island.
But just halfway through the rush, they found a large group of people pouring out from the island, they were the residents of the island.
Seeing them pointing excitedly at the distant sea and cheering, Dorom immediately understood that it wasn't just him and Regsaar who discovered the arrival of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce fleet.
About ten minutes later, seven huge magic ships approached the coast of Thunder Island simultaneously with the twenty or so smaller ones.
Just like last time, because of draft problems, these magic ships couldn't really approach the coast, but chose to stop a few hundred meters away from the coast.
More than a dozen small magic assault boats that Regsar took last time were lowered from the magic-searching ships. Dozens of figures followed and landed on them, and then quickly galloped over and landed on the coast.
Several figures fell from the small magic assault boat into the water on the coast first, and the leader was Neval.
Seeing Regesar from a distance, Neval laughed and stretched out his hands.
"Captain Regsar, long time no see."
Regsar glanced at the magnificent fleet in the distance, took a deep breath, and went up to meet it.
"Captain Neval, you really made me wait so hard."
Neval smiled slightly, thinking that judging from the expression and eyes of the pirate leader, he might be sincerely looking forward to his return.
But it's not wrong to think about it.
Pirates sound imposing, but they actually don't lead a good life at all.
Wandering on the sea all day, not to mention the wind and rain, but also facing the danger of losing his life at any time.
No one would want to be a pirate if it wasn't too hard to survive.
Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has taken a fancy to this Thunder Island, and wants to develop it, it has given everyone in the Thunder Pirates a good opportunity to improve their lives. It is no wonder that Regsal is not warmly welcomed.
Thinking of this, Neval didn't talk nonsense, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of guards from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who came with him jumped off the small assault boat holding a variety of living supplies that had been prepared long ago.
"Leader Regsal, please accept some small gifts from friends on the island."
His eyes flicked over a box of supplies marked with fine wine, and Regsaar couldn't help swallowing, nodded repeatedly, and turned to call the islanders on the side to help.
The islanders couldn't wait for a long time, and they all cheered when they saw this, and rushed over together.
Neval didn't care about those materials, but pulled Regsal aside, and said seriously: "Captain Regsar, I will now officially inform you that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has listed Thunder Island as one of the development plans. So from now on, you have to cooperate with our development plan, understand?"
Neval's commanding tone made Regesar frowned, but after a while, he relaxed his brows and nodded with a smile.
The situation is stronger than the people. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is obviously stronger than the small Thunder Pirates. If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to force it, it can easily destroy the Thunder Pirates and completely take over the Thunder Island.
Now being able to put on a posture of wanting to cooperate with him on the surface is already considered the utmost benevolence.
"Well, then Captain Neval, what can we do?" Regsal asked.
Seeing Regesar's respectful attitude and obedience, Neval nodded in satisfaction.
"You don't need to do anything special, you just need to organize the people on the island, and serve as helpers and guides for the people sent by our Chamber of Commerce. In addition, there are other arrangements for your Thunder Pirates."
"Huh?" Regesar was a little surprised.
Originally, he thought that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was only interested in this Thunder Island, but he didn't expect that even their Thunder Pirates also liked it.
"Wait a minute."
Neval signaled Regsar to wait a moment, turned around and ran to a small magic assault boat, had a conversation with a person, and then the two came over together.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Leslie, the fleet commander of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Escort."
Seeing that Neval was also very respectful in front of this person named Leslie, Reg Salton immediately put away all his casual appearance, and saluted Leslie very respectfully.
"Regersaar has met Lord Leslie."
Leslie looked up and down Regsar with a smile, and saw that he was tall and strong, with a shrewd expression in his respectful expression, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Regesar, call your brothers from the Thunder Pirates and set off with me."
"Ah? Let's go? Where are you going?" Regsar asked in amazement.
"Go and clean up all the restless guys around here." (To be continued...)
