Hundreds of warships pierced the sea, and they looked really majestic and majestic.
It's a pity that many people realize that long-distance sailing is not as beautiful as imagined until they really control it.
The supply of more than 5,000 people alone is a big problem in the ocean, and emotions such as illness and anxiety are also attacking Leylin's men all the time.
Fortunately, the Crimson Tiger Pirates were originally pirates, and they are still adapting to this kind of voyage.
Tifa sent all the preparatory priests under his command to each battleship, and used the priests to boost morale.
Although there is no assistance from divine arts, it is still a great test for the ability of these preparatory priests.
"Our fresh water and food are almost exhausted. The voyage strategy in this period is completely a huge gamble..."
Leylin stood at the front of the deck of the largest Scarlet Tiger, looking at the boundless blue sea, and sighed softly.
"Fortunately, according to the current speed, we can reach Bankz Island before the supplies are exhausted..."
There was a trace of blood in the eyes of Isabelle who followed behind Leylin. After becoming the head of the Crimson Tiger Pirates for so many years, the original noble lady seemed to have died long ago, leaving only this A female pirate full of ferocity and cunning, and only in front of Leylin, Isabelle would inadvertently reveal a little bit of girlish charm.
"Do you rely on local food collection? It's too unsafe!"
Hearing the girl's implication, Leylin shook his head: "Our current manpower is limited, each one is very precious and cannot be consumed at will... And this kind of tactics is too risky..."
Even in Leylin's previous life, it was a gamble to land a large army even with cover, let alone now.
"you mean?"
Isabelle looked at Leylin, who had already brought out a pair of nautical charts.
Bankoz Island is impressively in the center, but the scale is a bit exaggerated, but barely enough.
"Let's go around half a circle and go here!"
Leylin pointed at the chain of islands around Bankoz Island. As a giant island with the size of two or three kingdoms, there were naturally a series of small islands around Bankoz Island.
"You mean... Take Chihuahua Island first, as a supply point?"
Isabelle speculated that although she had thought about this proposal, she shelved it because it was too time consuming, but she did not expect that in the face of great urgency and danger, Leylin could still maintain his original intention and take his time.
"Hmm! And there seems to be a tribe of tens of thousands of people here, which is just good for our troops to practice their hands, and it's also a run-in..."
Although he has confidence in the combat power of both sides, the cooperation between them cannot be established in a day or two, and Leylin can only slowly test it in actual combat.
"I see… "
This kind of steady and steady strategy made Isabelle immediately see Leylin's determination, so she immediately went down to prepare.
…
Chihuahua Island is close to Bankoz Island, so the native tribe living on it is also a vassal of the Zacatecaz Empire, but due to the barrier of the ocean, this tribe has great independence.
After all, with the miserable shipbuilding technology of the natives, to use canoes to conquer this place, I'm afraid it would not be enough to cut down all the giant trees around the coast.
Though the emperor may have thought so, other nobles and priests would be wise to persuade the emperor.
Under such circumstances, this tribe is still able to survive, much better than other tribes that the empire asks for worship from time to time.
At this time, Abbas, the great chief of the tribe, was comfortably holding a huge banana leaf umbrella under the maid's costume, while tasting many tropical fruits.
Abbas's skin is very dark and his body is very bloated. Layers of fat are piled up, and the whole person looks like a fat Shar Pei pig, but his neck is very slender, which is typical of all nobles. There are piercing holes on the lips that are specially connected in series with iron rings, and the face is covered with so many oil paints that it is impossible to see the original face clearly.
"Oh no!"
While Abbas was enjoying the small hands of the young native woman, another old man whose body felt like dry wood rushed over.
"Oh? My wise High Priest, what is causing you to be in such a hurry?"
The high priest, as Abbas called him, smelled of a strong mixture of incense and lamp oil. The crown of colorful feathers on his head was even two or three meters long, and several slender feathers hung in the air. twisted a dangerous arc.
"My great chief, the king of the entire Chihuahua, the ancestor spirits we worship are now angry, and you need to go to comfort yourself..."
The high priest knelt down on the ground, his voice heavy.
"The anger of the great ancestor spirit? Is it because our previous sacrifices were not enough?" When encountering such a thing, even Abbas had no idea of continuing to enjoy himself. priest.
"No! I think it's more like a warning!" The high priest had blood clots on his forehead, and it was obvious that what happened before had shocked him a lot.
"Take me there!" Abbas waved his hand, and several monkey-like natives immediately lifted the chair he was sitting on and walked up.
Less than an hour later, almost all the natives of the tribe gathered together to watch the high priest's performance.
Some kind of narcotic incense and gas were burning around, and Abbas, as the leader, put on a rare costume—a cloak made of five-color wild animal skins stood at the front of the team, and the high priest kept There was some kind of dance, and the body convulsed almost as if she had gone epileptic.
At the very center of the sacrifice, on a rough animal skin banner, traces of dark red gold threads emerged at this moment.
"Great ancestor spirit... Do you want to give me any enlightenment?" Abbas knelt down directly, and other natives also knelt on the ground.
Rumble!
While everyone was prostrating, a huge cloud and mist rose from the center of the altar, and the image of a certain creature flashed past, and there were several incomprehensible roars.
"Ancestral spirits have warned!"
At this time, the original high priest jumped up as if he had received a divine revelation.
"In the west... unprecedented enemies will appear. They control the steel-like sea fortress, bringing slaughter and death... They are..."
A layer of foam spit out from the mouth of the high priest.
"What is it?" Abbas grabbed the high priest's neck, making the other person's face turn purple, as if he was about to suffocate to death in the next moment.
"They are... white-skinned devils!"
After uttering this sentence, the high priest passed out directly.
"A white-skinned devil?" Abbas rubbed his chin: "Send the order, all the warriors will bring spears and stone knives, and wait on the west coastline..."
The vocabulary and knowledge of the natives are very poor. Even the great chief finds it difficult to understand the meaning of the white-skinned devil. Anyway, he knows that there are enemies coming.
"Oh!" Inspired by the vision of the ancestors, the young and middle-aged warriors in the tribe assembled at an unprecedented speed.
And Abbas, who led his subordinates, was full of spirit: "I will peel off the scalp of the enemy leader this time and hang it on the wall as my meritorious service..."
…
"Huh? Our attack seems to have been discovered..."
Leylin standing on the deck frowned.
"But fortunately, here is only a small tribe, and the natural spirits served are at best only divine beings..."
"Isabelle! Tifa!"
Looking at the native warriors near the coastline, Leylin spoke calmly.
"The subordinates are here!"
"I have given the command to you. You don't need to care about other things at all. You just need to take down the entire Chihuahua Island. Be careful to block the sea lanes and don't let one go..."
As for the matter that I came to invade, it is naturally good to delay it for a day.
After giving these instructions, Leylin flew straight into the sky, rushing towards a certain divine existence.
Isabelle, who took over the command, drew out the red dragon sword in her hand, and looked at the native warriors assembled on the coastline with disdain, as well as the wooden spears and stone knives in their hands. Of course, There are also canoes.
"Bombardment! Let them see how powerful we are!"
Isabel shouted loudly, the natives on the opposite side were so poorly equipped, the total number was less than 2,000, they were simply a big piece of fat.
"Kill!" The other pirates also had red eyes, and the warship let out a terrifying roar.
A wave of shelling landed on the native tribe's position in an instant.
The ferocious explosion, as well as the screams lingering in his ears, made Abbas instantly stunned.
"Ancient ancestors! From the giant castle on the sea... and this kind of divine fire? What have we messed with?"
Many warships came rushing towards them, their own canoes capsized one after another, and even the guards around him started howling and fleeing, the great chief couldn't help but let out a desperate roar.
And at the next moment, the old chief was beheaded by a sword.
"Hey! This fat pig looks like a high-ranking official. I don't know if there is any reward..." Accompanied by this voice, the gold and silver ornaments on the great chief's body were instantly taken away.
"Is this the guardian spirit of the natives? Although it has divinity, its wisdom is very low..."
Leylin looked at a divine creature like a flame bird in front of him, the light of the chip flashed in his eyes.
"Your believers are being slaughtered by me, and the strength of the domain is also decreasing. Now surrender to me! I can still give you a way to survive!"
Leylin sent a wave of messages directly with his divine sense, but the reply he received was the roar of the flame bird.
"Chirp!"
Accompanied by piercing screams, a ball of golden flames directly surrounded Leylin, and the surrounding air twisted and rose instantly.
