"At present, in the northwest sea, to the west of the Sardinian islands, there are 13 islands, of which 8 are desert islands, 3 can build ports, 2 can build island fortresses, and none can build island cities; To the east of Sardinia, there are 7 islands, 4 desert islands, 2 ports to build, none to build island fortresses, and 1 island city to build. Speaking of the fact that after Sun Lin, who was a door-picker, converted 10% of the salary given to the generals into luxury goods, Bobby fell in love with the exquisite workmanship of porcelain, and obtained the attribute of "high quality" (+1 for the aristocracy); And Blackbeard also got the attribute of "drinking like life" (+2 for the people's class, -1 for the aristocracy), so now Sun Lin is very speechless to find that no matter what Blackbeard does now, he always carries a pot of rum in his right hand, of course, Sun Lin didn't say anything about this, everyone has everyone's hobbies, just like Sun Lin finally obtained two attributes because of his extremely slamming character, which are "careful calculation" (management ability +1, city income +5%) and extreme slamming (city income +5% Euphem Unrest +2).

Of course, it doesn't matter, although Sun Lin agrees that the generals have their own personalities, it doesn't mean that Sun Lin can let Blackbeard drink at will in his eyes, so: "Come on!" Give me another glass of ............. tsk, I didn't expect your kid to hide this grade of rum, say it! Where did you get it? ”

"Hehe, of course I found it from Ansdor's hometown! Your Majesty, if you still want it, I have a few more bottles on hand. Blackbeard smiled flatteringly as he poured rum into the glass in Sun Lin's hand.

"Come on, your eyes that are going to cut off the root of your life have already betrayed the thoughts in your heart, I still don't want it, and I still have to keep a clear mind to face the next thing, wine is the same as gambling, small gambling pleasure, big gambling hurts, I'd better drink less, by the way, I'll put my cruel words in front of me first! I don't care if you like to drink or collect, or if you like to smuggle like Ansdol, but if you get addicted to gambling, I promise to dismiss you immediately! Do you understand? ”

"I don't understand, I won't get addicted to gambling! Your Majesty, you are headed. Blackbeard, who was originally hippie and smiling, immediately said with a serious face, and his expression was the same as if he had just entered the first grade of elementary school and wanted to be a 5-bar kid after listening to his parents' foolish words.

"That's good, I just said there............... Oh! The starting point of the policy of occupying the sea! Let me see............ That's too little, isn't it? Judging from the sand table, the empire can only establish 2 maritime trade hubs on the sea at most, and in addition to Sardinia, these 3 'blood vessels' are completely unable to maximize the transportation of all the resources of the northwest continent to the New Delhi Peninsula! Well................ isn't that your nautical chart marked with a few small principalities built on large groups of islands? Just find a casual excuse to grab these islands, like 'indiscriminate price increases in trade, problems with weights in the scales, too long in arrears with the Empire' and so on. ”

"But, but this excuse is too fake, isn't it?"

"Whether it's fake or not, we're just asking for an excuse, if anyone comes out to talk nonsense, let's go to the few Galie warships that have just been recruited in the harbor of Crescent Harbor and drive around the doorsteps of those empires, kingdoms, and principalities, and use those few steel spearfish cannons made of high-grade wood and steel plates mixed with the most advanced steel spearfish cannons on board (said to be cannons, in fact, the principle is the same as a torsion trebuchet, relying on the torque generated by the torsion device, the steel fork in the iron barrel is shot out and inserted into the enemy ship, The role is generally used to hunt down enemy ships and force enemy ships to engage in shipside battles), and the improved steel scorpion crossbow and heavy trebuchet of the Garet battleship can definitely completely abuse those Imperial Navy, and beat them even their mothers............ It doesn't even know the motherland! ”

“………………… Well, if you count those island groups, we should be able to establish four more trade hubs at sea............... Your Majesty, in fact, you don't have to worry about the problem of insufficient hubs in the future, the sea area between the huge Desolate Ancient Continent and the King Continent has not been discovered by others, I remember that I was in a storm, and I saw another island in the distance that was bigger than the original world of Sardinia, and in the end, there are only a few sails between us and the King Continent, so I think that there are other islands in this huge ocean, but we haven't found it. ”

"Then did you tell me that the three Hawk ships I allocated to you found the island you were talking about?"

"Forehead ..............."

"So, just in case, we're going to have to incorporate all the islands where those principalities are located into the empire. That's it, Captain Blackbeard, when the York Territory problem is settled, the new batch of troops transported from London will arrive in Sardinia, and after the new batch of troops on Sardinia is recruited, you will lead these withdrawn troops to occupy all those islands. ”

"Got it!"

"Well...................... I always feel like I've forgotten something............... By the way, Blackbeard, where did the Naga Foreign Legion go? Why haven't I seen them in Yorktown's harbour district for the past few days? ”

"Huh? Didn't you, Your Majesty, have you already cleared the coastal areas of York's territory and let them join the sea where Patriarch Orison is fighting with new armor? It is estimated that they are about to enter the battlefield now, and I am really looking forward to it! If I could breathe freely in the water like the Naga, I'd love to see the difference between fighting in the water and fighting on the surface! ”

"Oh buy karma! I forgot about it! Sun Lin patted his forehead and groaned, "Blackbeard! Gather all the ships in the Yorktown Harbour area, and we're going to Horison Patriarch's war zone for deterrence! ”

At the same time, near the deserted rocky island of Sardinia........................

The originally calm sea surface was now bursting with shouts of killing, while the originally blue sea had been dyed red at this time, and countless corpses with human bodies and fish tails were floating on the surface of the sea, exuding a disgusting smell.

"Patriarch Orison! The Naga Foreign Legion of the Empire on which the sun never sets has joined the fray! However, due to the extremely large number of the Kraken Fish-Man Alliance, although our western front has been stabilized again due to the addition of members of the Naga Foreign Legion, those Krakens who are marching faster have already bypassed the back of the Naga Foreign Legion to prepare for encirclement! And now the central front is also in a stable state, but the eastern front has begun to waver! ”

"Let's send the next batch of new troops equipped with weapons and armor into the Eastern Front, by the way, have those members of the Foreign Legion received news from Sun Lin's fleet."

"They said that the members of their stay in York City have sent back a message that Sun Lin's fleet is already on its way and is expected to arrive in 15 minutes."

"Hehe, is it finally here? That's great! ”
