Volume 1 Lonely Island Fall Chapter 137 Four villages join forces
The city lord of Min was suddenly embarrassed, and secretly said in his heart, this surname Hong is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
He hurriedly smiled, "Everyone came to this Aolai Islands, it is not easy to establish Xinxian Village, everyone should support each other and communicate with each other."
The family surnamed Ye has monopolized six spirit islands, more than twice as many as us, and if time comes, it will become a problem for the henchmen. Brother Hong doesn't have an opinion on this?"
Hong City Lord picked up the teacup, tasted it, and then said leisurely, "Of course, there is a view that the Aolai Sea is the closest to Qingyun Immortal City, so that these Qingyun City Lords have taken a lot of advantage Chisha Immortal City is too far away from here, and it is a pity that they are a step late." I've been busy building a village lately, and I don't have time for anything else."
Such an answer was not asked, and the city lord of Min was very dissatisfied.
However, he also saw that this surnamed Hong had no intention of joining forces with him, otherwise he would not have been so perfunctory
The city lord of Min also stopped mentioning this matter with interest.
The two chatted for a while.
The city lord of Min felt bored, and after a while, he said goodbye and left, and after getting on his own sea boat, he spat into the sea and scolded, "The brave Snow Eagle was injured by Ye Mo's Spirit Eagle, and he was actually indifferent. ”
"City Lord, why don't you join forces with City Lord Min to avenge the wounded Snow Eagle in the past?"
Behind the Lord of Hong City, a confidant monk asked in a low voice.
"What's the hurry, didn't you see this Min City Lord, looking for someone everywhere to deal with the surname Ye, even if I don't go, he will find someone else. The lord of this city is in a hurry to do something."
City Lord Hong shook his head and sneered and said, "Let's build the immortal village first, and wait for them to fight slowly." The battle in this Aolai sea area is not a victory or defeat that can be determined in January or February. When they get tired, it's not too late for us to strike. Only by persevering to the last immortal village can we hope to be promoted to immortal town"
Earlier, he was also angry that Snow Eagle was injured, but he had already calmed down, and it was the right thing to build the Hong Immortal Village first.
The Min Immortal Village has been built and is on the right track. Lord Min has many subordinates, and with the help of the old housekeeper who runs in Xiancun, he has a lot of free time.
Min Cong visited more than ten new city lords around him in one go, and although most of the city lords refused the invitation of the city lord Min, he still found a few city lords who were willing to deal with the Ye family's immortal village.
In addition to the Gong City Lord, he also found two more City Lords who coveted the resources of the Ye Clan's Immortal Village.
The four of them discussed how to snatch the Spirit Island of the Ye Clan's Immortal Village.
To this end, each of the four immortal villages sent monk spies to monitor Ye's Spirit Island and the six islands. Look for the moment and be ready to make a move.
In this temporary alliance, the only thing that upset the other three was that the Min City Lord, who was in charge of liaison, could not make an enemy of Ye Village because he had signed an agreement with Ye Village.
This point made the three city lords complain about him.
However, the three city lords were still confident in defeating the Ye Clan's Immortal Village. As long as the three join forces, each draw about half of their strength, and mobilize three or four sea ships, it is enough to form a strong enough advantage over Ye Village.
At this time, Ye Mo and Chang Fei came to a dock in the port to watch the progress of Mo Yun's construction of light armored warships.
The lack of sea vessels in Ye's Immortal Village was already a problem that Ye Mo was most worried about.
This dock is some distance away from the Immortal Village, and compared to the well-defended Ye Immortal Village, the dock of this coastal port is very weakly defended.
In order to ensure the safety of the dock, a spirit wood wall was specially built. Once the Kraken Beast attacks, this place will be temporarily abandoned and will concentrate on guarding the Valley Immortal Village.
In the early days, it could only be such a strategy.
Unless the Ye Immortal Village is expanded in the future and the manpower is sufficient, this dock will be incorporated into the entire Immortal Village system and will be more closely protected.
More than 30 shipwrights, under Mo Yun's arrangement, were building different parts of the warship.
Each shipwright is responsible for the manufacture of parts of different shapes, keels, decks, rudders, anchors, masts and sails, which are carefully polished to remove the edges and corners of the shaped parts.
Mo Yun held the drawings of the warship and grasped the overall situation.
Li Zhao and Hao Yan, two shipbuilding apprentices, were in charge of assembly.
In the dock, the keel of a light armored warship dozens of feet long has been formed.
The core hull, rudder and transmission hub have been installed.
When Ye Mo arrived, several high-ranking martial artists were installing masts and hoisting sails under the command of a monk.
This is a four-masted light-armored sea ship, and a few sails can raise the speed of the sea ship to the limit of xìng energy.
"City Lord Ye, in three days, this light-armored warship will be able to launch for sea trials. Install another bronze cannon on the bow of the ship, and a light armored warship will be completed in two days, and Wang Hu will send the bronze cannon over. However, the aspect of crew and sailor training can only be arranged by the city lord. ”
Mo Yun stood aside and said.
Ye Mo and Chang Fei boarded the ship together.
Chang Fei carefully inspected all parts of the hull, and couldn't help but nod at Ye Mo, obviously very satisfied with the ship. He doesn't know how to build ships, but he can use them, so he naturally knows the advantages and disadvantages of ships.
Even in the eyes of Chang Fei, an old captain, the xìng ability of this light-armored warship is extremely outstanding.
In the past, his pirate ship was built by a shipwright from the Donglai Kingdom on the Kyushu Continent at a huge cost, although it also used extremely hard iron wood, but after all, it was not as strong as this second- and third-order spirit wood.
Ye Mo saw that Chang Fei was very satisfied, and he was also relieved and came out of the dock.
"Chang Fei, the captain of this new ship, what are you going to arrange?"
Ye Mo asked.
The sailors of Yecun are basically old sailors brought out by Chang Fei, and they have more than ten years of sailing experience in the East China Sea. Chang Fei knows best how to arrange manpower.
As soon as the new ship came out, the captain and sailors needed one or twenty people.
After all, even the smallest sailing ship requires dozens of people to be able to ride it.
Especially this kind of warship, which is known for its speed, when there is no wind to increase the speed, it is basically rowed by sailors.
Ye Mo had seen in some books that there were high-speed flying sailboats powered by spirit stones. But for the weak Xiaoxian Village, it was unthinkable.
"The candidate for the captain of this light-armored warship has been decided, and it is an old man who has followed his subordinates for many years and has rich experience. Sailing hundreds of miles between our islands shouldn't be a big problem. Let him accumulate for a while longer, and he will be able to travel far away."
Chang Fei's dark face was quite happy, but also worried.
"However, the number of warships in our Ye Clan Immortal Village has increased rapidly. There was a serious shortage of old sailors, and there was an urgent need to recruit a new one. At present, for the time being, we can only let the old crew, with the novices, deal with our islands first, and the farthest is only more than a hundred miles, which is barely enough to recruit sailors, so it is better to start early and train them.
Senior sailors, who generally have fixed sea vessels, will not change places easily. Our newly built fairy village is not very attractive to old sailors. I've asked someone to investigate, but it's really hard to recruit people."
"Cultivate within the Immortal Village first, transfer some of the martial artists to be sailors with the Yuan Qi Pill, and attract some martial artists from Qingyun Immortal City to settle in our Immortal Village."
Ye Mo couldn't help it.
Ordinary monks and warriors, as soon as they heard that it was Xinxian Village, were reluctant to come. The risk of Xinxian Village is very high, and following an unreliable city lord is even more dangerous than encountering a sea monster.
Just like when he recruited shipbuilders, Ye Mo planned to ask Lu Tong to help recruit people.
At this time, Tunuwei Ashui had something important to report.
"You go get busy first"
Ye Mo is not the same as usual.
"Yes, Castle Lord"
Chang Fei showed surprise, but did not ask, stopped slightly, and returned to the pirate ship, arranging for travel between the islands, transporting supplies, and replenishing supplies.
Ye's main island and the surrounding six affiliated islands have to run every two days.
"You mean, you found that the monk spies from other fairy villages are watching our fairy villages and the sub-islands?"
Ye Mo returned to the City Lord's Mansion and said with a deep face.
"Yes!
Ah Shui half-knelt on the ground and nodded, "These few rì, our five guards took the Golden Eagle, patrolling around the main island and the sub-islands, and found no less than four or five spies in total, spying on our movements everywhere. However, their intentions and goals are not yet understood. Ah Shui didn't dare to startle the snake, so he asked the master to decide. ”
"Main Island, where did the spies find?"
"Near the harbor, lurking is a Qi cultivation monk who is good at the water system, and he is good at water concealment spells, and he should be monitoring the movements of our sea ships. ”
"Hmm"
Ye Mo waved his hand to let Ah Shui retreat.
He thought for a moment, and summoned the fire raven.
"Flutter"
The little fire crow quickly flew into the distance.
Not long after, a fiery red shadow fell from the sky and landed on Ye Mo's shoulder, fluttering its wings and croaking.
Strictly speaking, the little fire crow is also one of the artifact spirits in Ye Mo's ancient painting scroll.
Its wisdom, loyalty, and ability far surpass those of the Golden Eagle.
Although it couldn't speak like Little Green Fox and Tuluan, it could understand Ye Mo's intentions.
Ye Mo called the little green fox out in the bedroom and asked the little green fox to tell the meaning of the little fire crow.
He listened to the report, and the god became more and more sinking.
The little fire crow surveyed all the vicinity of the harbor.
Sure enough, it was found that there was a water system qi cultivation period monk scout, hiding in the dense seagrass of the port, monitoring the movements of the Ye family's immortal village.
The water stealth technique is useless for the little fire crow who is born with the "fire eye" to break the concealment, and it is also ineffective for the golden eagle with the "golden eye".
"Master, what do they want?"
The little green fox was surprised.
"It is estimated that they are looking for an opportunity to attack the Ye Clan's Immortal Village, but they are quite cautious, and they actually monitor the main island and the various sub-islands at the same time. It seems that they didn't plan to grab one or two islands, but wanted to clean up all the six sub-islands of my Ye Clan's Immortal Village in one fell swoop. ”
Ye Mo touched its little head and said lightly.
"Master, get rid of all these spies, or arrest them and torture them as to who sent them."
Ah Li's eyes lit up, waving her little paws, and she said excitedly.
"Hey, no need to torture. Except for the surrounding Immortal Villages, no one else would be interested in our Ye Immortal Village. I'm going to fight them this time. ”
In the middle of the night, the three-headed golden eagle set off in the dark, avoiding the spies who were watching.
The Golden Eagle flew to the islands and transported the main monks scattered everywhere back to the Ye Clan's Immortal Village without realizing it.
As for ordinary martial artists, there is no need to transport them back.
The next day, Ye Mo took the five slave guards and took a small boat to the Kraken Island Reef, one of the six affiliated islands.
