Port Tylon, Sea Temple.
The figure of the Naga Siren priest sat at the back of the temple. For some reason, she wore a gorgeous priest robe today. Her whole person seemed to be preparing for something important, and her expression was quite serious. However, when she finished listening to the report of some twisted sea creature in front of her, her face gradually turned ugly. She frowned and looked at the blue sea in front of her. She murmured, "What is Søren going to do?"
"Mobilizing a fleet at this time!"
"Did he make any big moves recently? Is he going to retaliate against the Principality of Rossard? Or is there a bigger plan? "
"Damn it!"
The Naga Siren priest knocked on the ground with her scepter and said, "How many navies did he mobilize?"
Army.
She did not know when she called Søren's subordinates from 'pirates' to 'navies'.
The twisted shadow was hidden in the sea below the Sea Temple. Its specific appearance could not be seen, but it could be felt that it was some kind of mutated sea creature. Its breath was very strong. It looked like a hybrid of some sea creature and sea monster. It had the strength beyond a high-grade profession but was not yet in the realm of legends. This creature had appeared in the Sea Temple more than once.
Its whole body was hidden in the sea, and it said in a low Naga language, "Hundreds of warships were mobilized near Port Tylon. The dragon-headed warship was also docked near Port Tylon. "
"Snake Island mobilized about 50 medium-sized warships. Recently, a batch of materials was transported out from here."
"The number of fleets in Shipwreck Bay is huge."
"If we don't count the small clippers, there are about 300 warships. If we count the small pirate ships, I'm afraid there are more than 600 of them."
"There are more warships coming back!"
"Arendelle of the Frost Kingdom, the patrol fleet of the southern island countries, and the surrendered pirates on the west coast."
"These are just some of them."
"Søren has controlled and annexed many chambers of commerce during this period of time. There are also many merchant ships and guard warships that he can secretly mobilize. A conservative estimate is that he can mobilize thousands of medium-sized ships."
The Naga Siren priest took a deep breath.
She fell into silence. After a long time, she murmured, "Has he become so powerful?"
"This guy!"
"How can his strength grow so fast?!"
The distorted figure in the sea also fell silent. After a moment, he said, "Your Excellency High Priest! Ever since the rise of Søren, he had never failed. This gives him an unimaginable appeal among the pirates, not to mention that his methods are quite brilliant. Now, from the south coast all the way to Arendelle, any chamber of commerce that wants to travel safely on the sea has to look at his face. "
"Pirates used to earn their income from plundering, but now, many pirates have taken on the responsibility of guarding frigates."
"Although this is based on exploiting the other chambers of commerce."
"Don't you think this is like the taxes in the kingdom? Søren divided the seas into his own territories, and then used the pirates to control these seas. Finally, he used his powerful force to force others to pay taxes! … "
Before he was strong enough.
Søren's actions were supposed to be extorting protection money, but when he was strong enough, everything became a legitimate 'tax'.
He provided protection for the Chamber of Commerce, and then collected taxes to support the pirates.
This was the embryonic form of an army!
The Naga Siren priest's face became more and more dignified. She murmured, "If this continues, his influence will only grow!"
The shadow in the sea also fell silent and said slowly, "Your Excellency High Priest!"
"I'm afraid that Søren is no longer someone we can control. Since the annexation of other pirates on the south coast, his strength has been growing rapidly. Arendelle's naval battle allowed him to successfully defeat the kingdom's regular army. His fleet has expanded rapidly, and many pirate groups that were watching have turned to his subordinates. "
"And."
"He attacked the southern island countries under the command of the pirate king and won the final victory!"
"After that battle, Søren almost won over all the pirates on the south coast. Even many caravans from Shipwreck Bay to Port Tylon have turned to him."
"If he hadn't mobilized his fleet this time, I'm afraid we wouldn't have known how strong he was!"
The Naga Siren priest could not help but sigh.
Yes.
If it wasn't for the scale of Søren's fleet this time, many people would still be in the dark and not know how powerful his armed forces were.
Pirates, Chamber of Commerce, guards.
The pirates under Søren's control were only the power on the surface. As he used violence or annexation or forced other Chambers of Commerce to submit, the guards under the control of the Chamber of Commerce also fell into his hands. Sea trade was not land trade. More than half of the people on a merchant ship could be counted as combat power. The sailors had received combat training, and the guards of the Chamber of Commerce had many elites. Although Søren had divided a part of the benefits, the slave trade, ocean trade, and the eastern route were almost all in his own hands.
Snake Island, Port Tylon, Shipwreck Bay, Raging Sand Island, West Coast, Arendelle, the southern island countries.
Modo!
Since defeating and annexing the pirate king Ashrod, Søren's armed forces had been expanding rapidly. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to support Arendelle's expedition and the war against the southern island countries.
"Bring me the map!"
The Naga Siren priest suddenly stood up and said to the temple guard outside, "Bring me the sea map!"
Heavy footsteps sounded.
The guard of the sea temple quickly brought a map. The Naga Siren priest quickly spread it out in front of her, then frowned and observed carefully. She stretched out her finger and pointed at the city of Modo in the outer islands, then drew a line directly connecting to Port Tylon. Then there were three lines connecting Snake Island, Raging Sand Island, and Shipwreck Bay. Then, the Naga Siren priest's face turned pale. Her finger connected from Raging Sand Island to the eastern route, and then from Shipwreck Bay to the West Coast – Arendelle – the southern island countries.
"The first fleet."
"The third fleet."
"The fifth fleet."
"The dragon warship is in Port Tylon. The pirate leaders under Søren, Giant, Scarface, and Knight are in Shipwreck Bay."
"Here!"
"There are still his hidden forces in the City of Wealth."
"Raging Sand Island."
"The pirate king Ashrod's fleet! This is the sea of the Principality of Rossard! The pirate's sixth fleet is here! "
"Søren, this guy!"
"He has arranged such a strong naval force here! Now even the fleets near Arendelle and the southern island countries have been mobilized back! "
"Damn it!"
"What the hell does this bastard want?"
The Naga Siren priest hammered the wall heavily and turned to stare at the map in front of her. She felt Søren's plan. It was definitely a big move, but she could not figure out what Søren wanted!
Such an armed force.
Even if it was a landing battle, it would be enough to attack a land kingdom, right?
Thousands of brave and ferocious pirate army, a huge fleet that could directly block all the coastlines of any kingdom. His relationship with the Northern Witch Council was ambiguous, and now he had Arendelle in the Frost Kingdom. When the Naga Siren priest spread out the map and once again examined the power possessed by Søren, her heart could not help but have a trace of fear, a trace of trembling, and a trace of indescribable shock!
As Søren's opponent and ally.
The Naga Siren priest knew very well how weak Søren was at the beginning. He was completely under her control, but now that man had become a terrible existence that she needed to look up to!
She witnessed all this with her own eyes, but as a competitor.
"Tick."
The wet seawater slid down, and a sticky tentacle stretched out from the seawater. Then, it gently pointed at two places on the map, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency High Priest."
"Sauron's pet is here, and the ghost warship, Deadman's Voice, is hidden here."
"Kacha!"
The Naga Siren priest was shocked.
