The endless sea in early summer is always changing. Vertex Novel ,

It was still a torrential rain just now, but the next moment, the rain had cleared and the clouds had parted, and the sun was pouring down, covering the originally damp and cold sea with clouds and mist, making it look like a fairyland.

Seeing the phantoms of figures shuttle in the air in front of him, and the phantoms of dancing trees flicker for a while and then gradually disappear, Leslie spat viciously, spitting out the salty and bitter saliva in his mouth because of the seawater being poured into it.

This place is already 800 kilometers away from Thunder Island, and more than 300 kilometers away from the nearest land coast.

Looking around, not to mention a ship, not even a ghost can be seen nearby.

In addition to groups of seabirds and various large sea fish and even sea animals that do not show their true faces on the sea surface, only a few scattered small islands can be seen scattered nearby.

It's desolate here, but it's not desolate.

Just looking at the large schools of fish in the surrounding waters, Leslie knew that this trip was definitely worthwhile.

The sea fish near the coast have long been extremely sparse due to years of fishing by fishermen near the coast, but there are still countless kinds of delicious sea fish and even sea beasts in the deep sea far away from the coast. Resources are far more abundant than people imagine.

No wonder I once said a word to Leslie before - if you want to be rich, please go to sea.

Just catching all these schools of fish in front of you and bringing them back to shore can sell them for at least tens of thousands of gold coins. Enough to make ordinary people live comfortably for a lifetime.

Not to mention that the schools of fish in the deep sea seem to be endless. They didn't know how many schools of fish they bumped into along the way. If you find a suitable way to catch and sell them, it will be enough for countless people to live a prosperous life.

Of course, Leslie led the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to stay away from Thunder Island and go deep into the deep sea this time, obviously not to find fish.

This time, his main task was to expel the pirates in the nearby waters, further expand the scope of Thunder Island's influence, and at the same time continue to make a name for himself in the nearby seas, completely earning his title as the Pirate King.

should say. He has accomplished this main task extremely well so far.

After cleaning up all the pirates in the waters near the Kingdom of Luerson, Leslie led the escort fleet all the way eastward. Whenever he heard pirates nearby along the way, he would definitely come to challenge him.

As for the result...

With a full twenty or so medium-sized magic frigates and nearly a hundred magic assault boats, and equipped with countless magic crossbows, magic bazookas, and even equipped with several magic cannons, how can the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort fleet be a mere ride? Wooden sea boats, armed with machetes and axes, and all long-range weapons are nothing more than ordinary bows and javelins that pirates can match.

No matter what kind of pirates they were, they couldn't even touch the side of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort fleet. It was directly sunk by endless crossbow arrows and magic shells, and turned into a ghost at sea.

It only took a month. The Xinfei Merchant Escort Fleet led by Leslie made a great name in the southern waters of the Candela Empire.

Among the islands, these novelty sea boats made of steel all over their bodies are simply terrifying like devils.

In the past half a month, as soon as all the pirates heard that the escort fleet led by Leslie was approaching, they immediately chose to flee, and they never dared to have any thought of resistance.

So in fact, Leslie didn't experience even a single battle in the past half month, and he always seemed extremely peaceful.

This made Leslie feel a little bored.

He decided to go to sea as a pirate in order to stay away from the Kingdom of Lampari.

But now after wandering the sea for so long, he found that he has fallen in love with this kind of comfortable life.

Although the life at sea is extremely unstable and the conditions are harsh, he has always been on top of the sky high and the sea wide, which makes him feel unprecedented carefree and free all over his body.

And the battle with the pirates also made him very happy. Watching those evil pirates disappear into ashes, he didn't feel guilty at all, he just felt refreshed.

The only thing that made him feel a little uncomfortable was that the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce assigned to him by Xu Yi was too strong, ridiculously strong, so strong that other pirates had no way to fight back.

This made him feel like he was always bullying a child, and he couldn't get any pleasure from it.

He mentioned this idea to Neval of the transport fleet, but he received Neval's indirect but obvious contempt.

"To live at sea, peace is the greatest prayer. No one would seek death by himself."

Leslie was not a fool, of course he knew it, but it didn't prevent him from being bored.

"what--"

Maybe it was because of being exposed to the increasingly hot sun, or maybe it was because he felt too bored, Leslie suddenly felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawned a lot.

Glancing at the calm sea ahead, Leslie was sure that there should be no pirates who would take the initiative to seek death, and thought that he might as well take advantage of this time to go to sleep.

According to the goal that Xu Yi explained through Neval, his next task is to completely control the entire southern sea area of ​​the Candela Empire, and open up all sea routes in the southern sea area of ​​the entire Sainz continent for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce transport fleet.

This task is extremely difficult and time-consuming, and it cannot be done in a month or two.

Leslie knew that he might never return to the Lampari Kingdom in his life, so staying at sea would be his next destiny, so he didn't resist the goal that Xu Yi explained, but took it very seriously. Treat this goal as your own life goal.

Of course, this does not affect him taking the time to take a nap at this time.

However, just as he turned around and was about to walk into his special cabin for the commander, Leslie suddenly felt a slight shock from the hull and slowed down.

This movement didn't seem to suddenly hit some hidden rock, but it should be that the crew in charge of the ship discovered some accident.

Leslie looked up at the lookout at the top of the mast. Pick up the Magic Talking Box.

"what's the situation?"

The lookout's voice sounded through the magic communication box. The tone was a little anxious.

"My lord, there are a large number of sea ships ahead, and they seem to be coming directly towards us!"

"Oh?" Leslie was a little surprised, and then he was shocked. "Haha, that's great! Is there any pirate who doesn't have eyes looking for death again? Sir, I'm in a panic at the moment, and now someone is so happy to come here, it's really great!"

Having been in contact with a group of sailors and pirates at sea for a long time, Viscount Leslie, who was gentle and noble in the eyes of all the noble ladies and ladies in Anvilmar City and Bonta City, inevitably had some vulgarity.

The lookout wasn't as excited as Leslie. There was still panic in his tone.

"My lord, it seems...it doesn't seem to be some pirates. Because I saw those ships...the flags of the Candela Empire!"

"Huh?" Leslie was slightly taken aback. "It's actually the flag of the Candela Empire? Are you sure you read it right?"

The lookout was silent for a moment, then the voice resumed.

"Yes, the little one read that right, it is indeed the Golden Lion Greenland flag of the Candela Empire."

Leslie frowned and thought for a while, put his hands on the railing next to him, stepped hard on his feet, and immediately jumped high.

Immediately afterwards, he tossed and tumbled in the air a few times, pressed his hand on the tallest mast a few times, and jumped directly onto the watchtower that was more than ten meters away from Overtime.

"Give it to me." Leslie snatched the binoculars from the lookout. Look in the direction he pointed.

Through the lens of the telescope, it is true that the sea in the distance is densely packed. There are about three to forty huge sea ships coming here quickly along the direction of the wind at this time.

These ships were twice the size of the largest pirate ship Leslie had seen before, and they were not much smaller than the medium-sized magic frigate under his feet.

Leslie had been at sea for so long, and this was the first time he had seen such a big wooden ship.

Moreover, the appearance of these sea ships is basically the same. Cooperating with the hundreds of smaller sea ships that are following them, they are sailing at the same speed on the sea, and they seem to be extremely powerful.

Just seeing this kind of momentum, Leslie can be sure that this is definitely not a pirate, because no pirate has such terrifying strength.

In this vicinity, apart from the sea fleet of the Candela Empire, it is impossible for other forces to have such a powerful sea power.

Looking at the huge flags with golden lions and green backgrounds hanging on the masts of those sea ships, Leslie further affirmed that these ships should be the regular sea fleet of the Candela Empire.

But this made him very puzzled. The regular sea fleet of the Candela Empire suddenly dispatched a large army, why did they come here for him?

"My lord, the opponent is about to enter the effective range, what should I do? To fight or not to fight?" The lookout on the side suddenly asked nervously.

"Screw!" Leslie shot him an annoyed look.

On the opposite side is the regular sea fleet of the Candela Empire. If they really want to fight, it is tantamount to officially declaring war on the Candela Empire.

No matter how idle and boring Leslie was, he would never do such a stupid thing.

What's more, Xu Yi is now working hard to obtain a cooperative relationship with the Candela Empire. If Laidley really does this, it is tantamount to cutting off all possibilities.

"Then what should we do? Are we letting them get close to a dangerous distance?" The lookout was a little dumbfounded.

Leslie picked up the binoculars and glanced at the Bailaisouhai ship that was approaching quickly, frowned and thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Send my order, all ships stop, but you must be ready to start at any time. Follow my orders."

The lookout responded and ordered to go down.

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 the ships of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have all stopped on the sea at this time, and all the ships of the Kandela Empire Fleet have sailed forward for a while within the effective range of the escort fleet. It stopped at a distance of 500 meters.

Leslie, who stood at the forefront, frowned slightly.

This distance is already the range that many bows and arrows can reach.

The fact that the Kandela Empire Sea Fleet did so indicated that they might launch an attack at any time.

A moment later, a voice sounded from the huge sea ship rushing forward.
