The conversation that happened in the sweat tent of the Tianfeng tribe, Ouyang Shuo didn't know, and the patriarch of the Tianfeng tribe, Dari Achi, also didn't know.

Lianzhou Basin, Tianfeng tribe tooth tent.

"Hu Qitu, what do you think about the extermination of the Tianlian tribe?" Dari Achi asked.

Sitting under the tooth tent was a young military general less than thirty years old, tall and straight, with a resolute and handsome face, and slightly curly hair added a bit of masculine charm to him. He is Huqitu, the only commander of the Tianfeng tribe, who commands all the armies of the Tianfeng tribe except for the patriarch's personal guards.

In fact, after receiving the news that the Tianlian tribe was exterminated, Huqitu rushed to the scene of the incident as soon as possible. Based on the traces left at the scene, his speculation was basically the same as that of General Lakshin of the Tianyan tribe. The only difference is that Huqitu knows that this matter was not done by his own tribe.

In Huqitu's eyes, the whole thing seems confusing. The surrounding tribes didn't seem to have a motive to commit the crime, but this happened like this.

"Patriarch, this matter is very strange. The last general wondered if it was a tribe that wanted to blame us, so he deliberately committed such a shocking case next to us. Hu Qitu said cautiously.

Dari Achi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, this person has evil intentions, and he clearly wants to provoke our relationship with the Tianyan tribe. ”

"Who will do it, Patriarch?" Hu Qitu asked rhetorically.

Dari Achi shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. It could be a tribe from the west, or it could be a tribe from the north. It is even possible that the Tianyan tribe did it themselves. ”

"The Heavenly Tribe?" Hu Qitu exclaimed.

"Not bad." Dariachi's face was cloudy, and he said, "That old fox of Munch, in order to suppress our medium-sized tribes, he can't do anything. Don't forget, he's a bloody butcher. As long as he can create an excuse to suppress us, a small tribe is nothing in his eyes. ”

Hu Qitu still couldn't let go, and said: "Patriarch, the last general still doesn't understand. If it's really the Heavenly Tribe, then at this time, they should have sent someone to question us. However, until now, there has been no movement at all. ”

"yes, that's what puzzles me the most. That's why I can't understand it. Daria Chi said in a deep voice, no matter how deep he was, he couldn't see the fog in front of him clearly.

"Could it be the new neighbor to the south who did it?" Hu Qitu said boldly.

Dari Achi was shocked, then shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. One is that they don't have this strength yet, otherwise they wouldn't have defended the city. Second, they have no motive to commit the crime, and you don't see that they still want to maintain normal trade with our nomadic tribes. ”

Hu Qitu himself didn't believe it, so he just said it casually. Hearing the patriarch's explanation, all his doubts suddenly disappeared. Unfortunately, the biggest mystery remains unsolved.

"Anyway, since it has happened, there will be a follow-up. As for how the situation will change in the future, it is difficult to say at this time. However, no matter how the situation changes, it will eventually come back to the contest of strength. Dari Achi summed up and said solemnly: "Huqitu, the army cannot relax for a moment. During this time, you will want to increase the patrol of the border. In addition, in order to strengthen the army. Consider continuing to trade with Friendship Town to the south and get as much iron ore as possible. ”

"Whoa!" Hu Qitu said loudly.

After Huqitu left the tooth tent, Dari Achi looked at the top of the tooth tent, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the tooth tent, see the distant sky, see the pearl located in the middle of the basin - Shenqi Lake, and muttered to himself: "The storm is coming, the god of the grassland, is this the opportunity for our Tianfeng tribe to rise?" ”

May 11, Beihai Town Port.

After a month of construction, the port of Beihai Town, Beihai Port, was officially completed. Located near the mouth of the river, the North Harbour is a natural harbor with a naturally sheltered bay for ships to berth.

Beihai Port is a military port, which is mainly used by the naval army for warships to berth, supply, shelter from storms, and obtain combat, technical, logistical and other support. Therefore, the North Sea Port is also known as the naval base, with corresponding equipment and defense facilities. The naval barracks, after the construction of the North Sea Port, have been transferred here.

At this stage, Beihai Port also plays the role of a fishing port, which is used for fishing boats to dock, anchor, shelter from the wind, load and unload catches, replenish fishing needs and daily necessities, and can carry out fish processing, storage and transportation, fishing boat maintenance, fishing gear manufacturing and crew rest.

The southern sea area of Beihai Port is the Beibu Gulf of the South China Sea. The largest island in the Beibu Gulf is naturally Qiongzhou Island, which covers an area of about 350,000 square kilometers after being magnified ten times in the game, which is 1.5 times the size of the Lianzhou Basin. In addition to Qiongzhou Island, there are also a number of small islands and reefs scattered in the Beibu Gulf.

Most of these islands and reefs are uninhabited and belong to places where birds do not poop. However, there are also some islands that have formed a relatively complete ecological system, with inland lakes or inland rivers, sufficient fresh water, and basic living conditions. Such an island is naturally an ideal base for pirates.

Especially after the game map was expanded tenfold, many islands and reefs the size of sesame mung beans in reality instantly became islands suitable for human habitation. It was precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo would order the sailor battalion to start surveying the surrounding waters as soon as possible. He didn't dare to draw conclusions based on real-world experience.

In the northwest corner of the Beibu Gulf, near the border between Vietnam and China, there is an island called Wol'er Island. Wol'er Island covers an area of about 50 square kilometers, which is the same size as the territory of a second-class village. In reality, it is a small island with an area of only five square kilometers.

On Wol'er Island, there lived a group of pirates, numbering about 3,000 people. This group of pirates, who call themselves Black Sharks, is led by Blackbeard. Because Yue'er Island is geographically closer to Vietnam, the main object of their plunder is the fishing villages along the coast of Vietnam.

In the coastal areas of Vietnam, among the group of lord-type players, Blackbeard's fierce reputation has long been spread. In the five months since the game was launched, there have been no less than 30 player villages destroyed by the Black Shark pirates.

Of course, the Black Shark pirates would not dare to provoke the coastal system cities.

On this day, I don't know what Blackbeard is crazy about, so he actually gave up his previous habit of plundering and prepared to go to the coast of China in the north to plunder.

Needless to say, before Black Shark's pirate ship approached Beihai Town, it had already been spotted by the sailor Yingmeng Chong Fighting Ship patrolling the nearby waters. The soldiers on the warship, seeing the pirate ship coming from the opposite side, did not dare to slack off, and fired emergency flares while preparing to meet the enemy.

Blackbeard took a total of three pirate ships with more than 300 pirates on board. Seeing a regular warship like the Mengchong Fighting Ship had already surprised Blackbeard. When I looked at the Beihai Port that had been built in the distance, I was even more surprised, such a battle is only available in system cities.

On the other side, seeing the signal flare fired by the patrol boat, Pei Donglai immediately led the remaining four Mengchong fighting ships to rush out of Beihai Port. The Mengchong ship is narrow and long, fast and maneuverable, and is designed to surprise enemy ships.

The entire cabin and deck of the Mengchong Fighting Ship are covered with cowhide, which can be used for fire prevention. There are several oars on each side of the board for the oars to insert the boat and for rowers to row. There are three cabins above deck, which are also wrapped in raw cowhide to prevent enemy fire. Each deck has crossbow windows on all sides, and spear holes can be used to attack enemies in all directions.

Therefore, in less than twenty minutes before and after, when Blackbeard was still hesitating, the four Mengchong fighting ships brought by Pei Donglai had already converged with the patrolling warships.

Seeing that the opponent's warship had such superior sailing performance, coupled with the fact that the strength of both the enemy and the enemy had been reversed, Blackbeard was very cautious without finding out the opponent's strength, but he could afford to put it down, and immediately ordered the pirate ship to turn around and return home.

Seeing that the other party was about to escape, Pei Donglai ordered the sailor battalion to symbolically pursue five kilometers, fired several rounds of arrow rain, and ordered the sailor battalion to stop the pursuit and return immediately.

The reason why Pei Donglai did this was that the difference in strength between the enemy and us was not large, and it was difficult to form an overwhelming advantage. Second, the sailor battalion has not yet experienced actual combat, and if it is really entangled, it may not be able to defeat these battle-hardened pirates.

The art of war is cloudy, and the poor are not chased, not to mention a group of pirates who have not lost their combat effectiveness at all.

After returning to Beihai Port, Pei Donglai immediately strengthened the sea patrol force, changing from one warship to two warships, and five warships took turns to carry out patrol tasks.

After arranging the defense, Pei Donglai wrote an official letter about today's encounter and sent it to the base camp, asking the lord to decide.

……

On 12 May, Ouyang Shuo received an urgent letter from the Beihai Town Water Division Battalion.

After reading the official letter, Ouyang Shuo was thoughtful. There is no doubt that the town of Buttersea has been exposed to pirates. Since then, Beihai Town can no longer sit back and relax and develop with peace of mind.

In order to guard the town of Beihai and ensure the safety of this strategic place. Ouyang Shuo sent a letter back to Pei Dong, asking the navy to immediately expand another sailor battalion and formally form the North Sea Fleet. At the same time, Pei Donglai was asked to find out the details of this group of pirates as soon as possible, and it was best to detect their lair.

For pirates, only by destroying their living force and completely destroying their base camp can we truly sit back and relax. Otherwise, who knows when they will suddenly appear and give you a surprise attack, then Beihai Town will have to develop with peace of mind.
