Chapter 151 Population Explosion and Ambition

Chapter 151 "Population Boom and Ambition"

"Wow!"

A three-sailed skeleton ship suddenly appeared from the sea, followed by two single-sailed skeleton ships, forming the most standard skeleton fleet.

However, less than half a minute after they first appeared, countless cannonballs hit them with red tail flames, like rain.

The most powerful skeleton captain has only just entered the third level. How can he withstand such a density of gunfire?

"boom!"

"Bang!"

The decks were torn and the hulls were shattered. These three newly refreshed skeleton ships were honorably retired, leaving only large pieces of debris and countless loot floating on the sea.

The next moment, the terrifying Purgatory Black Crime appeared. The sailors on the ship skillfully picked up the big net, took away the spoils and debris, and sorted them as quickly as possible. It was an encounter. The battle ended without causing any trouble.

Scenes like this happen all the time. The three hundred nautical miles around Libos Port have become a death zone. A fully equipped Tier 4 extraordinary ship with full firepower is not something that these smelly fish and shrimps can touch. Basically, it is Implement these five words and destroy them when you find them.

Basque yawned boredly. The weak enemy made it uninterested in fighting, but Qiao Yang had ordered it to do so, which made it a little aggrieved by its warlike nature.

Under this situation, it could only have some fun on its own, so it started to look for people to chat with, using Common Language, which it had just learned in the past few days. Apart from having a special accent, there was no problem at all in basic communication. .

Don't underestimate the learning ability of a high-level devil. In fact, the wisdom of these beings is not a little bit better than that of most ordinary people. That is a world of difference.

"Your cannon is very accurate. Can you teach me how to shoot it? I want to try it next time."

No, it started when Riddle was collecting the cannonballs. If you ignore its daunting size, this guy is no different from those chatterboxes who like to chatter.

"Thank you. The operators of these skeleton ships are very stiff, and the power of the Purgatory Cannon also helps me. If you want to learn, it's not impossible. Go ahead and move the cannonballs. I will teach you in a month."

"Forget it, you guys are the professionals. I just have itchy hands. You know, I always want to chop something."

Riddle was the legendary gunner recruited later. His ability was second only to Olivier, and his personality was quite calm. Even Basque, who was extremely arrogant, could not find any fault with him. Although the two races were completely different, they got along well. It's quite enjoyable.

Scenes like this happen from time to time. The people on the ship were a little strange at first, but later they got used to it. Their current top officer just suppressed it, and it was a mental illness. He would just wait until he could go on stage in person.

"Don't worry, there will be the fight you want. This is what the captain has told you. If you lose your temper, I will not plead for you."

Thern was also one of the entourage of the Purgatory Black Sin. He and his good brother Baden did not serve on the same ship. This was his own suggestion, not Qiao Yang's arrangement.

This is how it is between brothers. Now that they have confirmed that each other is doing well, there is no need to worry more. Compared to the Abyss Black Industry, this place is more suitable for him.

"Humph, I'm not in a hurry. Don't worry, I'm just complaining. You still don't know that I...huh? Another pirate ship has been discovered, and the gunners are ready and ready to fight!"

Basque's eyesight was particularly good, and he spotted a pirate ship from a long distance away. That damn skull and crossbones flag was so familiar to it!

The roar of artillery fire resounded again, wails filled the fields, and the land was desolate.

Under high-speed sailing, no matter which ship it is in the Black Candle fleet, it is incredibly fast to discover the enemy. It can basically search for a new enemy in three or four minutes, and then cover it with unreasonable artillery fire. Only occasionally encounter Only when they reach a hostile fleet that they can see through, the old man will be allowed to take the newcomers to train, and it will not exceed the third level.

As for those who have broken through the fourth level early, their only role at present is to be mascots. Want to take action? Come to think of it, how can I have the nerve to compete with these newcomers? If I tell you, I'm afraid I will be laughed to death by my familiar companions.

Of course, since they all brought a lot of newcomers, since they can't compete to kill the enemy, they can compete to see whose subordinates are more powerful. If they can't compete head-on, why not compete side by side?

As for the bet, it's "You're good". This shows how boring these guys are now.

In fact, it was not only the Purgatory Black Sin led by Basque, but also the other vice-captains. Nasreen, who went out for a wander at the beginning and then returned to continue responsible for crew transactions, felt a little more relaxed.

Qiao Yang also went back. After all, without him present, the deal could not be completed. He only followed the Abyss Black Industry for a patrol and killed some pirates and skeletons. After all, he had so many elite soldiers and generals, if he still had nothing to do You would be a fool to catch it yourself. If nothing else, why not do something interesting while you have this time?

Don't get me wrong, just completing the crew transaction, this feeling of getting stronger and improving rapidly is really addictive.

The scenery on the sea is always unpredictable, and the originally hot and sunny sky turns dark in an instant.

Dark clouds chased the sun, the black wind roared, and the rough waves on the sea made people uneasy.

It has been five hours since the mission started. There are not many ships wandering in this death zone. Except for the Black Candle fleet that is hunting everywhere, there are also enemy ships that occasionally spawn and will be discovered soon. Positioning, and then repeating the original scene, washing the cannonball, sinking and salvaging, it cannot be said that it is not challenging, but it is indeed a bit boring.

At most, when encountering a suitable enemy, the new crew members other than the gunners would step forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat. With at least three-level veteran crew members taking care of them, it would not be easy for them to even get injured.

In addition, with the experience of fighting side by side, most of the monster crew members with initial loyalty qualifications also have a sense of belonging here, and their subsequent loyalty increases quickly, especially the simple ogres and kobolds who are born to be slaves. , their loyalty even increased by leaps and bounds, and in less than half a day, die-hard loyalists actually appeared.

Of course, such a change is mainly due to the recognition of the real world. They have always been stuck in their ways. Living on this island, what they have to do every day is either hunting or giving birth to children. The leader who is the strongest is only two or three levels. That's all, but there are many strong men of this level on any ship.

Those who couldn't bear the gap had long since died in the early morning raids. Those who survived and chose to surrender were all smart people, not much, but somewhat, and that was enough.

In addition, there are the new captains who want to get more points in the mission. They don't even think of approaching Libes Port. They stay far away for fear of being treated as a gift package by the "unblocked" Qiao Yang. .

The big guy Qiao Yang has long said that those who get close will die, and domineering will be domineering. But he has the strength to say this. If he is killed by others and forced to go offline, he will have no one to blame. The main player will bear the blame on himself.

In addition to these hostile ships, which are used to provide points to the captain, neutral ships sometimes appear.

These neutral entities are often merchant ships, and they are also intelligent creatures in the special reminder. Captains can trade with these people to obtain supplies, so as to continue to maintain high-intensity battles.

If some captains are lucky enough, they can receive tasks from these merchant ship captains, such as treasure hunting, fighting, or transporting goods. The rewards are generous. As long as they are successfully completed, they can get a lot of points in one fell swoop, and usually kill several ships. You can't get so many points by wearing a skeleton, so this has become a more popular choice for many captains who are not particularly strong.

This kind of merchant ship is considered a hidden benefit. If you make good use of it, you can get a lot of points within the rules, which will be of great benefit to future development.

But that's not what Qiao Yang did. What kind of mission, grandma, kill you all, everything belongs to me. He doesn't need supplies, and the rules don't say that he can't attack merchant ships. Why did he just fight? .

As a result, the neutral camp merchant ships that were refreshed near Libos Port were unlucky. Even though their power was stronger than those skeletons and pirates, their results were no different. The same devastation, the same damage with one touch. broken.

The only difference is that the loot dropped by the merchant ship is more valuable and the supplies are more. Under the influence of the highest dropped entry, they almost exploded all the bitter tea seeds. You can earn more by fighting one ship than There are ten enemy ships of the same rank.

What’s even more outrageous is that when Sisonia discovered that these merchant ships were more suitable for military training, she directly notified the other deputy captains. Then these merchant ships faced an overwhelming stranglehold and had nowhere to escape. It was foreseeable that when the blockade period ended, Every captain in the entire mission area will be in serious trouble.

“Thank you for your generosity and wish you all the best!”

The captain bowed gratefully. He knew what he was like. The most common white talent could not go far in the endless sea, and he did not have the ability. It was very satisfying for someone like him to be able to make a fortune in the end. That's the greatest luck.

Watching him leave, Qiao Yang took a deep breath. At this point, the transaction was over, and his crew also expanded to an extremely explosive number. According to the display on the fleet panel, there were actually five thousand and more than a hundred with him. A fraction, that is to say, excluding his original crew, he directly bought more than 4,000 people in this transaction.

In fact, there are far more rookie captains who want to trade crew members in the mission sea area, but the locations of the participants when they come in are all random. Only a very small number can gather near Libos Port, and most of them are in the first place. The first stage was eliminated.

And because of factors such as distribution distance, some newcomers chose to trade nearby, so there were really very few people who actually completed transactions with Qiao Yang, which made him a little regretful. To be honest, if he could, he really wanted to think about this. All the newcomers who want to retire early will be taken into their hands. Unfortunately, this is not realistic and it is really a pity.

Otherwise, all the captains who want to trade will gather together, and even if each person can only provide two sailors, the total amount will be a terrifying number, not just a mere four thousand.

That's right, Qiao Yang still feels that four thousand is a bit too little. The number of people he really wants to use is far from enough. With powerful enemies on his side, he needs to develop to full strength as quickly as possible.

The initial idea of ​​just having legendary combat power could no longer fill his greedy mouth. Qiao Yang wanted more, more, more!

However, during the challenge mission, it was only the first wave of large-scale transactions. There will be second and third waves later, especially the second wave. Not only are there more people under their command, but the quality is also much higher than this time. Half a point.

There is still a long time to go, and the second wave is when he harvests all the newcomers in the same period. He just takes advantage of the window period to integrate and digest it to avoid the situation of being too big to lose.

It is worth mentioning that as long as the newcomers who were trading near Libes Port were all intact, without any damage, under Qiao Yang's instruction, they also received a sumptuous meal as a farewell. , that’s it, it won’t hurt to be generous.

This small amount of supplies is just a drop in the bucket for Qiao Yang now, and it does not require him to do it himself. It is also more convenient to establish trading credibility. At this stage, credibility is very important.

As for those who are not in Ribes Port, they do not have such good treatment. Their transaction process is miserable.

Some are trying to gain points under the guise of trading, some are seeking benefits during the transaction, and some female captains have even paid an indescribable price. It would be great if only half of the transactions could be successfully completed.

People's happiness is based on comparison. After learning about other people's tragic experiences and their own experiences, the newcomers near Libos Port directly transformed into the most enthusiastic Qiao Chui. Among the newcomers, It would be hard to overstate Qiao Yang's reputation as being at the height of his popularity.

With such blessing, I believe that the next transaction will be smoother. This is why Qiao Yang wants to establish credibility at all costs, just like buying horse bones for a thousand dollars. People like to trade with people with integrity.

Nasreen played a temporary role as a clerk, recording the crew members traded for statistical purposes and to facilitate scheduling. A little trouble now would be better than irreversible chaos later, and he was not tired anyway.

After putting down the last stroke, he breathed a sigh of relief, sorted out the manuscript one last time, turned his head to look at Qiao Yang, and said:

"Captain, the roster has been preliminary compiled. Please take a look. In addition, how should we arrange these people? Are they all placed in Wandering City? They haven't been sorted out yet. There is no way to use them at this stage. Moreover, they mentioned the word "miraculous". He is not an absolutely trustworthy person now and cannot be exposed here."

Hearing this, Qiao Yang stretched, took out his beloved recliner from his backpack, leaned on it, and glanced at Nasreen with a smile.

"The challenge mission is expected to be less than two days away. Are you worried that I won't be able to make them return home completely?"

"Your bravery and wisdom are unparalleled. I'm just worried that it's difficult to manage a large number of people. The warships have to go out hunting. I can't allocate logistics personnel. Their strength can't be suppressed and it's easy to cause trouble."

Nasreen was not worried that he said the wrong thing, but instead analyzed how to solve the little trouble at hand based on Qiao Yang's interests.

"Unless you show them a miracle, although faith is not a long-term solution, it must be very useful at this time, otherwise we will not be able to take away so many people."

At the end of the sentence, he also smiled, especially the emphasis on the word "miracle". The meaning is self-evident. After following Qiao Yang for so long, these old guys don't believe this is so-called. God-given power, this is their great captain's own power, which is vaster than the so-called divine power.

"Hahaha, you, who know me well, want to go with me, but you are wrong about one thing. The power of faith is very useful now and in the future. Do you still remember that day?"

"You mean the day you bless the members of the Knife Squad?"

Although Nasreen was questioning, he was quite certain in his words. If he could ask such a question, it would only be that day if it was related to him.

"Yes, I actually thought about it for a long time, and finally selected a few of you, and then a few more, who are now the core members, the real core."

Qiao Yang also had some memories in his eyes. Although the interval was not long, it was very long for him.

"I made a plan at that moment. Do you want to know the name of the plan?"

Nasreen on the side raised his eyebrows, then bowed slightly and said:

"It's my pleasure."

"Create God!"

These two words were like the sound of a bell, imprinted in the depths of Nasreen's soul, making him unable to recover for a long time. He didn't even know when Qiao Yang would leave.

When he reacted, unprecedented ambition rose in his eyes, and he muttered to himself.

"God...or, the King of Gods, yes, only with this status can you be worthy of your status."

I’ve been rushing around for the past two days just to celebrate the Chinese New Year, so I’ll be a little less busy today. My book friends, please forgive me. I won’t be too busy for a while and I’ll update it. It’s the beginning of the new year and there’s really nothing I can do about it, hehe (﹃)
