Chapter 572 Hunting Japanese Pirates (8000)

As soon as Li opened the bedroom door, he met a pair of familiar eyes full of happiness.

No one really died!
Li felt much more relaxed. Looking at his mother with a smile on her face, he walked over excitedly and held her rough hand. He couldn't speak for a long time.

She almost would never be able to see her mother again.

The silver-haired Qiufeng touched Li Qingxiu's face with emotion. Seeing the slightly shining gold in her eyes, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes, and she squeezed out a smile and said:
"The Arcanist of the Bay Territory has specially recruited you to join the army. You must perform well and not let him down."

Li heard the hidden meaning in her mother's words, but she recalled the lightning that cut through the darkness and the changes in the entire fishing island, and smiled and comforted her:
"I understand, don't worry, I will definitely behave well."

Qiu Feng sighed slightly and patted the back of her hand, indicating that she should make her own decision.

Several sisters nearby who had narrowly escaped death were excitedly telling Li what had happened in the past few days.

He also noticed the light red military uniform on Li's body, with an excited expression on his face.

"Ah, I was really selected into the Gulf Leadership Army!"

"Awesome, you are indeed the best!"

"come on!"

"Auntie, leave it to us to take care of you, don't worry!"

"Hehe, we have also started professional training recently."

"Yes, if you don't work hard, we can catch up."

"The Gulf Territory is really great. It not only keeps us fed and clothed, but also gives us the opportunity to change our destiny..."

"And, regardless of our gender, we are treated equally."

"This time we don't rely on others, we must master the power ourselves."

Even if he has not yet come into contact with the Gulf Territory, Li can already imagine the changes and beauty it has brought to the fishing island. He smiled and said to everyone:
"That's true. We all have to study hard, practice hard, and fight together when the time comes."

The sisters all nodded firmly. They were not afraid of fighting, but were looking forward to it.

They have always been under Li's protection, and they want to fight alongside her in the future and contribute their own strength.

Looking at the smiling faces, Li emerges with yearning and expectation for the future.

Then, she heard the drum call on the radio:

"Gulf Leading Navy, assemble!"

Li followed the footsteps of many people and came to the military camp in a daze.

Then, together with many new recruits, Li participated in basic training such as formation, stepping, and combat skills.

When she was exhausted, she tasted the nutritional medicine from the Gulf Territory for the first time.

After regaining my energy, I started to join other training subjects.

Li's somewhat thin body showed very strong endurance and adaptability. He persevered and completed the first training with difficulty.

At the same time, Li also tasted the rich and delicious food in the military camp.

Until the sun sets in the west, the cool sea breeze blows slowly.

After finishing the reading and literacy training, I thought about getting ready to go home.

But at this moment, the messenger took her to an empty training ground.

There is no one else here, only a figure wearing an arcanist's robe.

Matthew waved to the confused Li Zhao and said in a soft tone and tone:
"Control the water flow and give me a closer look."

Li's mind was a little dazed, and many terrible thoughts flashed through his mind, but he soon calmed down again.

Her life and that of her sisters were all saved by the Arcanist. Even if he takes it on the spot now, it won't be a big deal!
Although he thought so in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel a little turbulent in his heart regarding the mixed comments made by the Arcanist.

However, the tough-minded girl quickly found an "excuse" for herself.

"If the Arcanist wants to experiment on me, there is no need to wait until now, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Besides, if Lord Arcanist can understand my secret, it might be a good thing."

"After all, they have become more and more disobedient recently!"

Do a good job in psychological construction and start activating your abilities immediately.

Under her control, crystal clear water began to flow around her.

The shining sunlight reflects the crystal clear and colorful luster, giving people an indescribable sense of beauty.

Matthew watched all this silently and did not say anything.

Li was a little nervous at first, but after seeing that the Arcanist didn't do anything, he began to feel the slight changes in controlling the water flow.

Compared with the previous obscurity, Li's ability to control water flow has been greatly improved.

She now had a vague hunch that the amount of water flow she could control would be several times greater than before.

The shapes and objects formed by the condensation of water are also stronger than before.

Li couldn't help but be immersed in it, and began to gradually forget his original thoughts.

Without her noticing, Matthew had obtained all the data after her "evolution" and couldn't help but admired in his heart:
"Washing away all the fines and seeing the truth, is this the true talent of the lucky "5" geniuses?"

"Top bloodline LV2, dual professions, dual extraordinary initial attributes, 4 extraordinary specialties..."

"She is indeed the Dragon Girl, one of the top bloodline powers in the East. Even her profession is inherited from there..."

Matthew, who couldn't help but take a breath, looked at Li who was immersed in it, with a twinkling expectation in his eyes:

"If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn't know how to help you improve your strength, but I am the only exception."

Through the excavations and adventures of countless players, many secrets and gains have been discovered in many copies of oriental ruins on the eastern coast.

Among them, the professional routes that need to be developed and added by players themselves are a deadly weapon that continuously attracts new players to join.

Matthew happened to know the place where the special profession of "Alchemist" was inherited.

And, what happened next was the way to go.

However, before that, Matthew must train Li properly to help her develop the potential of her body and blood.

3 month 5 day.

Bay collar.

fishing island.

Fine weather.

The increasingly hot weather has filled the air with a hot breath.

The wet and stuffy feeling makes people feel trapped and unable to escape.

The surging waves came one after another.

The splashing waves bloom and disappear again.

Flocks of birds flock to the beach in dense numbers to hunt for these easier-to-obtain foods.

In a dangerous ocean, any food is extremely valuable.

Above the beach, two forts with a height of seven to eight meters are under construction.

More than 50 large forts will surround the entire fishing island where landings can be made, deterring any approaching enemy warships.

There were busy figures everywhere, including quite a few goblins.

These little guys who looked very silly showed excellent driving and control skills after being rewarded with a full meal.

After simple learning, they can learn to control the engineering golem, and quickly learn construction experience under the command of construction personnel.

The construction staff thinks highly of the goblins and is reporting back to the institute.

I hope they can transform an engineering golem that is more suitable for goblins to control.

The United Factory was not very interested in their request. What they wanted to create was a more profitable golem.

However, the Golem Factory in the Gulf Territory took over this task.

Victor is very interested in this, and the exoskeleton research experiments he accepted require more data and information to support it.

The busy development of fishing islands has consumed a lot of supplies in the Gulf Territory.

Everyone can see that the Gulf Territory attaches great importance to this advanced base.

Especially after the Gulf Territory issued a development directive, many adventurers began to be interested in this place.

Everyone is not a fool. Gulf Territory has invested so much here. According to Gulf Territory's previous form and style, it must be very profitable.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

"The Yaoyue family has completed a deal with us. They have transported away all the loot we captured from the two cities on the fishing island."

After counting all the information, Leon looked through the transaction records with the Yaoyue family quite excitedly, and continued with interest:

"In addition to leaving all the food, the Yaoyue family bought all the jewelry, oriental porcelain, silk, some undersea corals, decorative gems and other goods robbed by the Japanese pirates."

"We have harvested a total of 1300 million gold coins, of which 600 million have been invested in the renovation of fishing islands."

Oriental goods?
Matthew touched his chin, thinking about the Eastern Continent more than 10 kilometers away, shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened and said:
"There's no need to take it too seriously. Luxury goods mean nothing to us in the Gulf."

“In addition to transforming the fishing islands, you also need to develop ways to make profits.”

Leon, who had already had a plan in mind, went on to say with great anticipation:

"The 50 fishing boats that have been ordered are basically in place, and I have started to gather the fishing fleet."

"At the same time, we also sent a message about the guardianship mission to the adventurers, inviting them to protect the fishermen."

"At the same time, we still need to know more information about the Japanese pirates, so we are ready to send adventurers to various major islands to explore..."

Matthew was quite satisfied with Leon's talk.

The training is not in vain, and the training is effective.

Of course, this is also related to Lyon's super talent and potential.

In the process of cultivating these talented people, Matthew has discovered a crucial point.

What’s really great about these talented people is.

It's not just about their physical talents and the speed at which they improve their strength.

It’s more about their grasp of opportunities and the speed of their growth.

As long as they are given a chance, they can shine and dazzle in their corresponding positions.

Of course, such geniuses are only a minority after all.

There are more people in the Gulf Territory who are ordinary people who complete their work step by step and according to task instructions.

However, these are the cornerstones for the rapid development of the Gulf Territory.

Naturally, Matthew will not let go of "cultivating" them.

Use better "conditions" to "tempt".

Mandatory "training" to "strengthen".

"Inspiration" in ideas and slogans.

Urge them to become better versions of themselves, create more value for the development of the Gulf Territory, and gain more for themselves.

After Leon finished speaking, Matthew continued to him very calmly:

"Most of the arrangements and plans are good, but the handling of Japanese pirates is still a little conservative."

Facing Leon's expectant eyes, Matthew didn't mean to show off, and said very simply:
"For a despicable race like the Japanese pirates, the Gulf Territory has always had only one solution."

"Kill them all and don't let these bandits live anymore."

“So, let’s issue a “kill order” directly to the adventurers!”

Killing order!
The most stringent, deadliest, and highest-paying order in the Gulf Territory.

It's like a normal bounty mission, with the mission ending by killing the enemy.

However, it represented the only way to accomplish the mission and the determination of the Gulf Territory.

With generous rewards that are more than three times higher than other tasks of the same level, this is the task that all adventurers love and look forward to the most.

Because, in addition to high bounties, it can quickly provide a lot of merit to all adventurers, which is what they want most.

In particular, the "trunk card" that the Gulf Territory has recently revealed is becoming more and more common.

With his eyes widened slightly, Leon saw for the first time such a naked murderous intention from the lord, and nodded without hesitation:
"No problem, I'll make arrangements right away."

Soon, the killing order in the Gulf Territory spread immediately, causing great turmoil among the adventurers.

The huge benefits, far exceeding those of tasks of the same level, made most people, including advanced adventurers, excited.

In particular, the Gulf Territory issued a new regulation a month ago in order to promote everyone's enthusiasm for earning merit:
When the merit reaches 1 points, the adventurer can obtain the qualifications for "strength, physique, and agility" strengthening surgery.

Such surgeries are not uncommon, and many flesh-and-blood spellcasters have used similar methods.

Even the effects of some advanced spells can help professionals complete this enhancement.

However, this provision of the Gulf Territory caused everyone to go crazy.

That is this type of surgical transformation, which allows adventurers who undergo surgical transformation to have three attributes increased to 15 points.

And, it can be 100% successful!
At the beginning, there were naturally some adventurers who didn’t believe it.

But there will also be adventurers who dare to try.

Alice became the first adventurer to undergo surgical transformation.

She made up for her physical deficiencies, completed the strengthening of her strength, and incorporated the combat skills and skills she learned.

In full view of everyone, Alice broke through the shackles of the high-level peak and reached the extraordinary level.

Such a powerful effect naturally makes countless adventurers go crazy!
Many of them have very rich combat experience and skills.

However, due to his physical qualifications, he was unable to hold more fighting spirit, and he was under the pressure of learning stronger fighting skills, so he could only fall into a dead end where his strength could not continue to improve.

This was the case with Alice and Arnold in the past!

It's different now!

The reason why Matthew is willing to offer this "benefit" to adventurers is.

In addition to stimulating their enthusiasm for earning merit and recovering the large amount of gold coins stored in their hands.

It is also necessary to collect more data on surgical transformation to complete the perfection and improvement of subsequent surgeries.

At the same time, he also wanted to give the new batch of "surgeons" headed by Aini as many opportunities to practice as possible.

The strengthening surgeries provided to adventurers are only basic and prerequisite surgeries for transforming and strengthening warriors.

While the effect is greatly reduced, the danger is naturally reduced a lot.

Just suitable for newbies to practice.

The Bay Territory had to pay nothing.It can earn a lot of "returns" for adventurers.

Obtained a group of stronger thugs.

Now, Japanese pirates have become the first target of adventurers.

These adventurers with extremely rich combat experience will use various means to kill these Japanese pirates.

Bay collar simply doesn’t want to win too much!
……

"gather!"

The loud voice spread throughout the entire military camp.

The soldiers, who were busy and training, instinctively approached the center of the square.

Some unprepared recruits also unknowingly followed in the footsteps of veterans.

When they reacted, they realized that they were already standing in the queue.

Maintaining his standing posture, Li stared at Matthew who walked in front with some surprise. Recalling the training of the past few days, his mind was "mush".

Is this the Master Arcanist who has been giving him special training?

Could it be that he is also a lord?
Realizing that he seemed to have learned a secret that ordinary people didn't know, Li felt a little excited in his heart.

Matthew noticed Li's gaze, but he didn't express anything. He just looked at each of the soldiers undergoing training calmly.

In addition to the 3000 veterans selected from various places, the remaining 7000 were recruits from the fishing islands.

Although the fishing island is not very large, it is home to more than 40 residents.

Even before the island was enslaved by Japanese pirates, more than 60 residents lived on the island.

They make a living by fishing.We can easily feed everyone by relying on the nearly endless fisheries resources in the ocean.

The arrival of Japanese pirates completely broke the tranquility here.

Let everyone on the fishing island become their slaves and "accomplices".

The two sides forged endless hatred.

It can only end if one party dies completely.

For the training and selection of these new recruits, Lyon originally hoped to send people from the Gulf Territory, but later had to compromise.

The residents of Fish Island, except for some malnutrition due to long-term hunger, are very suitable to become navy soldiers.

Their dexterity and familiarity with water properties, as well as their mastery of ships, are all extremely gifted.

Although the training time is not long.

But these Yudao recruits, who have been fighting against wind and waves since childhood, have shown excellent obedience and resilience.

They learn combat skills more slowly.

But his mastery of ships and the use of various weapons have grown quite well.

After more than two weeks of training, they have completed familiarity and understanding of the warship.

Now, it's time for them to sail further and into actual combat.

Only through the tempering of war can more elites be born.

"Thirty-five years ago, Japanese pirates came to this island."

"What they brought was not peace, but killing and enslavement."

"These beasts don't deserve to live in this world, and I believe everyone is eager to get rid of them."

"Now, here's your chance!"

"Kill all the Japanese pirates we meet,

Every soldier's breathing could not help but become slightly heavier.

Their pupils dilated slightly, and adrenaline began to be continuously secreted, stimulating their bellicose nerves.

The reason why their "conversion" was so rapid.

It is inseparable from the words and deeds of the veterans and the first impression left on them by the Gulf leadership.

The once invincible Japanese pirates were vulnerable to the Gulf leaders.

Now that they have joined in, they naturally have the same confidence.

Matthew shouted slogans to motivate the soldiers.

It also improves skills such as eloquence and persuasion.

Wait until everyone is in the same mood.

Matthew gave the order to set off without hesitation.

Li's eyes were a little wandering.

She didn't know which warship she would be assigned to.

But she had a vague premonition in her heart.

The lord will definitely arrange her together!
In fact, this is also true. Matthew naturally brought this cheap "disciple" with him.

The threat of the opponent's lucky "-5" has not been lifted yet.

If something really happened, he would be able to remedy it in time.

Besides, time is precious now.

Don't waste any opportunity to improve your strength.

3 month 7 day.

Caribbean Islands Marginal Waterway.

clear.

Bay leads the first fleet.

call!call!
The swaying spear stabbed straight at him like a spiritual snake spitting a message.

The extremely confusing shaking gives people an unpredictable and weird feeling.

Li was under great pressure and did not retreat.

Once she rears her legs, the swing of the spear tip will suddenly increase.

The moment the attack suddenly strikes, the huge impact it carries will completely break her parry or defense.

She failed this trick 6 times!
Li adjusted his steps flexibly, holding the spear tightly with both hands and exerting force on his waist, trying to deflect the tip of the spear.

She tried to use the collision between the gun barrels to fend off the opponent's attack.

This strategy is quite effective.

Keli's skills are somewhat lacking.

The moment the opponent's gun tip bounced up slightly, it stabbed hard between her eyebrows.

This sudden blow interrupted Li's subsequent battle plan.

She could only give up her plan to raise the gun and keep retreating.

Li was a little nervous, but his movements were very flexible.

She took a big step lightly, avoiding the blockade pierced by the spear head, and continued to swim and fight.

Matthew patiently put more pressure on Li, forcing her to constantly change positions and adjust her power posture flexibly.

The greater the pressure, the faster the growth!
Matthew could clearly feel Li's progress.

The opponent is constantly absorbing a lot of experience and skills in melee combat at an extremely fast speed.

The four additional combat specialties further illustrate Li's progress in detail.

High-intensity combat training has brought sufficient experience to Li's ranger professional level.

Her ranger level surpassed that of the main profession, the alchemist, and was raised to level 2.

It has only been three days since training, and Matthew is looking forward to such extraordinary progress.

Just before exhaustion.

Matthew stopped suppressing her movements and signaled her to rest and adjust quickly.

At the same time, Matthew also carefully explained to her the situation of the battle just now and how to deal with it.

Li Neng could feel the Lord's kindness and sincerity, and while being endlessly moved in his heart, he had also secretly made up his mind.

We must improve our strength as soon as possible and try to help the lord!
"ah……!"

Yaya, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and stretched out happily.

She cheerfully took out the delicious food from the storage equipment and greeted Li cheerfully:

"The more you practice, the more you have to eat. Come and eat quickly!"

While saying this, Yaya pushed Orianna up again, who was also sleeping soundly.

The little girl couldn't help but yawned, rubbed her eyes, and stared at the food in front of her with great joy.

She said hello to everyone first and started to eat without any ceremony.

Matthew watched with interest, Orianna’s phantom clone,

He never expected that Yaya would come up with such a creative move.

However, this really gave Matthew more inspiration.

Since Orianna can learn to imagine a clone, can other people in the bay also understand this trick?

Li was already used to Yaya and Orianna's carelessness, but his heart kept beating faster.

She could vaguely feel the terrifying power coming from Yaya.

At this moment, on the side of the ship not far away, news came from the excited Leon:

"Spotted a pirate fleet!"

"They have four ships in total, with warships on each side and transport ships on each side, each with five masts."

After hearing this, Matthew said softly with a smile:
"Now that they've arrived, let's get rid of them directly!"

Leon, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately pulled out his bright sword and shouted in a loud voice:
"Discovered Japanese pirate ship, Yang Fan, set sail!"

The entire fleet immediately became busy.

After three days of sailing at sea, the soldiers became more familiar with the warship's various functions and weapon control.

They arrived at the combat post in the shortest possible time and entered combat status.

The Japanese pirates also noticed the arrival of the Gulf Fleet.

They turned around without hesitation, not daring to go head-to-head with the entire five bay warships.

These Japanese pirates are not strong. At best, they can only bully merchant ships that do not have many escorting warships.

Facing navies from various countries with larger numbers and better equipment, they usually choose to escape to preserve their strength.

No one is stupid!
However, these pirates obviously underestimated the Gulf Territory's determination to continue fighting.

The area around the magic warship shone slightly.

The ship began to become much lighter, and its speed increased.

The sails engraved with complex spell patterns immediately began to bulge, and the entire hull began to surge into a state of turbulence.

After just over 10 minutes of pursuit, the warship in the bay caught up with the escaping pirate ship.

They abandoned the two bulky transport ships very simply.

Such a "reluctant" move did not stop the Bay Leader.

They didn't even think about taking a look at the transport ship, and chased the two escaping pirate warships.

Looking at the pirate warship entering the range, Leon shouted at the top of his voice without hesitation:

"Aim, shoot, focus your fire to hit the area below the waterline!"

The soldiers who heard the order immediately began to get busy. After they were ready, they received the order to focus fire.

Rumble!
The terrifying roar of artillery fire instantly echoed across the sea.

Dwarf cannon sprays of flames.Pushing the rotating cannonball, it flew wildly into the distance.

The sound of five warships launching together immediately caused the souls of the escaping Japanese pirate warships to rise.

The ten cannons placed on the bow of the ship showed quite impressive improvements.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Of the more than 30 shells fired, 5 hit the opponent's hull.

However, because the distance was too far and the angle was involved, although it caused some damage, the pirate warship did not collapse immediately.

Matthew saw that the rear of the Japanese pirate warship had been severely damaged, with three or four large holes appearing.

There is another one, just below the waterline.

Presumably, a steady stream of sea water is pouring into it now.

If these Japanese pirates had found the breach in time and repaired it quickly, they might have avoided the fate of sinking.

However, the Gulf Territory soldiers who had been waiting for a long time cherished this hard-won combat opportunity.

They completed loading the artillery shells as quickly as possible and continued to fire the artillery.

The affected Japanese pirate warship was in bad luck. The cannonballs, which were calibrated to be more accurate, hit the rear of the pirate warship one after another.

This time, more than 8 shells hit the warship.

Because the distance was getting closer, the power of the cannonballs also began to gradually increase.

The cannonballs that had been bounced off before actually smashed open the hull of the warship.

The speed of the Japanese pirate warship immediately dropped a lot.

They can't escape!

Feeling a little desperate, the Japanese pirates tried to fire back.

Unfortunately, their artillery is terrible.

At a distance of 800 meters, the warships in the Gulf Territory were completely out of reach and could only be passively beaten.

Matthew stretched out his hand to light the fuse and looked at the brand new enchantment lines on the dwarf cannon. He did not forget to say to the excited Li next to him:

"Get ready to follow me in a moment."

Li seemed to hear the murderous intention in the lord's tone, and was busy very skillfully.

She first cleaned up the residue of the magic artillery inside and quickly loaded it with new gunpowder.This will ensure that the next shot will achieve the best effect.

Leon stared at the Japanese pirate warship that was getting slower and slower, glanced at another Japanese pirate warship that was running fast, and immediately ordered:

"Warship No. 3 is here to deal with it."

"Other warships, continue to pursue it, and must not let it go."

The soldiers who heard this order immediately took action.

The No. 3 warship that Matthew and Li were on approached the Japanese pirate warship that was gradually coming to a stop.

Watching the Japanese pirate warships getting closer and closer, watching the panicked or wailing figures lying on the plywood.

Li's eyes emitted an increasingly dazzling golden light.

Killing Japanese pirates is such a pleasure!
