City Lord Min was suddenly embarrassed and thought to himself, this guy named Hong is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
He quickly laughed and said, "It's not easy for everyone to come to the Aolai Islands to build a new village. We should support each other and share our knowledge.
The family named Ye has monopolized six spiritual islands, which is more than twice as many as ours. In time, it will definitely become a nuisance to his friends. Doesn’t Brother Hong have any objections to this?"
City Lord Hong picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said leisurely, "Of course some opinions are that the Aolai Sea Area is closest to Qingyun Immortal City, which gives them Qingyun City Lords a lot of advantage. Red Sand Immortal City is too far away from here, and it is too late to arrive.
It’s a pity to take this step. I have been busy building the village recently and have no time to take care of other things.”
Such an answer was inappropriate and City Lord Min was very dissatisfied.
However, he could also see that the man named Hong had no intention of joining forces with him, otherwise he wouldn't have done it so perfunctorily.
City Lord Min also wisely stopped mentioning this matter.
The two chatted for a while.
City Lord Min felt bored and left after a while. After boarding his own ship, he spat into the sea and cursed, "The courageous Snow Eagle was injured by Ye Mo's Spirit Eagle, but he didn't do anything."
"City Lord, why don't you join forces with City Lord Min to avenge Xue Ying's injury in the past?"
Behind City Lord Hong, a confidant monk asked in a low voice.
"Why are you so anxious? Didn't you see that this City Lord Min is looking for someone to deal with the man named Ye? Even if I don't go, he will find someone else. Why is this City Lord so anxious to take action?"
City Lord Hong shook his head and sneered: "Let's build the fairy village first and wait for them to fight. The battle in Aolai Sea cannot be decided in January or February. We won't take action until they are tired."
Chi. Only by persisting to the last fairy village can you hope to be promoted to a fairy town."
He had been angry earlier when Xue Ying was injured, but he had calmed down long ago and decided to build the Hong Clan Fairy Village first before getting down to business.
Min's fairy village has been built and is on the right track. Lord Min has many subordinates and is assisted by an old housekeeper who is good at running the fairy village. He has a lot of free time.
Min Cong visited more than ten new city lords around him at once. Although most of the city lords rejected the invitation of City Lord Min, he still found a few city lords who were interested in dealing with Ye's Fairy Village.
In addition to City Lord Gong, he found two other City Lords who coveted the resources of Ye's Fairy Village.
The four of them were discussing how to seize the spiritual island from Ye's Fairy Village.
For this reason, each of the four fairy villages sent monk spies to monitor Ye's Spirit Island and the six islands. They were looking for opportunities and prepared to take action.
In this temporary alliance, the only thing that made the other three companies unhappy was that City Lord Min, who was in charge of liaison, had signed an agreement with Ye Cun and could not make any move against Ye Cun.
This point made the three city lords criticize him quite a bit.
However, the three city lords are still confident in defeating the Ye Clan Fairy Village. As long as the three families join forces, each contributes about half of their strength, and mobilizes three or four sea ships, it will be enough to form a strong enough advantage over the Ye Clan.
On this day, 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 ships in Ye's Fairy Village has become Ye Mo's biggest concern.
This dock is some distance away from Fairy Village. Compared to the well-defended Yip's Fairy Village, the defense of this dock at the coastal port is very weak.
In order to ensure the safety of the shipyard, a specially built spirit wood wall was built. Once the Kraken attacks, this place will be temporarily abandoned and the people will concentrate on guarding the fairy village in the valley.
In the early days, this was the only strategy.
Unless Ye's Fairy Village is expanded in the future and has sufficient manpower, this dock will be included in the entire Fairy Village system and receive stricter protection.
More than thirty shipwrights, under Mo Yun's arrangement, were building different parts of the warship.
Each shipwright is responsible for making parts of different shapes, such as keels, decks, rudders, anchors, masts and sails. Some people concentrate on polishing and grinding away the edges and corners of the formed parts.
Mo Yun held the warship drawings and grasped the overall situation.
Li Zhao and Hao Yan, two shipbuilding apprentices, were responsible for assembly.
In the dock, the skeleton 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-level warriors were installing masts and hoisting sails under the command of a monk.
This is a four-masted light-armored sea-going ship. A few sails can increase the speed of the sea-going ship to the limit of its performance.
"Lord Yecheng, in three days, this light-armored warship will be launched into the water for trial sea trials. Then install a copper cannon on the bow, and the light-armored warship will be completed in two days. Wang Hu will send the copper cannon. However,
, the training of crew members 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 looked at every part of the hull carefully and couldn't help but nod to Ye Mo. He was obviously very satisfied with the ship. He didn't know how to build ships, but he knew how to use them, so he naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages of ships.
Even in the eyes of Chang Fei, an old captain, the performance of this light armored warship is extremely outstanding.
His previous pirate ship was built by shipwrights from the Donglai Kingdom on the Kyushu Continent at a huge cost. Although it also used extremely hard iron wood, it was not as strong as the second or third level spiritual wood.
Seeing that Chang Fei was very satisfied, Ye Mo felt relieved and came out of the dock.
"Chang Fei, captain of this new ship, how do you plan to arrange it?"
Ye Mo asked.
The sailors in Ye Village are basically veteran sailors brought out by Chang Fei, who have more than ten years of sailing experience in the East China Sea. Chang Fei knows best how to arrange manpower.
As soon as a new ship comes out, it will need ten or twenty people for captain and sailors.
After all, even the smallest sailing ship requires dozens of people to operate it.
Especially for this kind of warship, which is famous for its speed, when there is no wind to increase its speed, it basically relies on the sailors to row one oar after another.
Ye Mo once read in some books about a high-speed flying sailboat driven by spirit stones. But for the weak Xiaoxian Village, that was unimaginable.
"The captain of this light-armored warship has been selected. He is an old man who has been with his subordinates for many years and has rich experience. It should not be a big problem to sail hundreds of miles between our islands. Let him continue
After accumulating for a period of time, you will be able to travel far away.”
Chang Fei's dark face was quite happy, but also very worried.
"However, the number of warships in our Ye's Fairy Village is increasing rapidly. There is a serious shortage of veteran sailors and there is an urgent need to recruit a group of new sailors. For the time being, we can only let the veteran sailors and newbies deal with our few islands first, and the farthest
There are only more than a hundred miles, which is barely enough to recruit sailors. It is best to start early and train them.
Senior sailors generally have fixed ships and will not change places easily. Our newly built fairy village is not very attractive to senior sailors. I have asked people to explore, but it is really difficult to recruit people."
"Let's cultivate it within the Fairy Village first, and transfer some of the warriors to be sailors. Use Vitality Pills to attract some warriors from Qingyun Fairy City to settle in our Fairy Village."
Ye Mo couldn't help it either.
Generally, monks and warriors are reluctant to come to Xinxian Village when they hear that it is Xinxian Village. Xinxian Village is very risky. Following an unreliable city lord is 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, Tunu Guard Ah Shui had something important to report.
"You go and do your work first."
Ye Mo said to Chang Fei.
"Yes, City Lord"
Chang Fei looked surprised, but did not ask. He stayed briefly and then returned to the pirate ship, arranging travel between the islands, transporting supplies, and replenishing supplies.
Ye's main island and the six surrounding subsidiary islands need to be visited every two days.
"You mean, you discovered that monk spies from other fairy villages are monitoring our fairy village and various islands?"
Ye Mo returned to the city lord's mansion and said with a deep expression.
"Yes! Master"
Ah Shui half-knelt on the ground, nodded and said, "In the past few days, our fifth guard has been patrolling the main island and sub-islands in golden eagles. We found no less than four or five spies in total, spying on our activities everywhere. However,
I still don’t understand their intentions and goals. Ah Shui doesn’t dare to alert others, so I ask Master to make a decision.”
"Main Island, where did you find the spies?"
"Near the port, there is a Qi-training monk who is good at the water system lurking. He knows the water system concealment spell. He should be monitoring the movements of our ships."
"Um"
Ye Mo waved Ah Shui to retreat.
He thought for a while and summoned the Fire Crow.
"blow"
The little fire crow quickly flew away into the distance.
Not long after, a fiery red shadow fell from the sky and landed on Ye Mo's shoulder, flapping its wings and croaking.
Strictly speaking, Little Fire Crow is also one of the artifacts in Ye Mo's ancient painting scroll.
Its wisdom, loyalty and ability far exceed those of spiritual birds such as the golden eagle.
Although it can't speak like Little Green Fox and Tu Luan, it can understand Ye Mo's intention.
Ye Mo called out the little green fox in the bedroom and asked the little green fox to tell the little fire crow what he meant.
As he listened to the report, his expression became increasingly gloomy.
The little fire crow searched around the port.
Sure enough, a spies, a monk in the water element Qi training stage, was hiding in the dense seaweed at the port, monitoring the movements of Ye's Fairy Village.
The water-based invisibility technique is useless for the little fire crow who is born with the invisible "fire eyes", and it is also ineffective for the golden eagle with the "golden eyes".
"Master, what are they thinking about?"
The little green fox said in surprise.
"They are probably looking for an opportunity to attack Ye's Immortal Village. However, they are very cautious and actually monitor the main island and various sub-islands at the same time. It seems that they do not plan to seize one or two islands, but want to capture Ye's Immortal Village in one fell swoop.
All six sub-islands in the village will be cleared away."
Ye Mo touched its little head and said calmly.
"Master, get rid of all these spies, or arrest them and torture them to find out who sent them."
Ali's eyes brightened, she waved her little paws and said excitedly.
"Hey, no need to torture. Except for a few fairy villages around, no one else is interested in our Ye's Fairy Village. This time I will fight with them."
Late at night, the three golden eagles set out in the dark to avoid the surveillance spies.
The Golden Eagle flew to various islands and transported Gao Jian and other main monks who were scattered everywhere back to Ye's Fairy Village without anyone noticing.
As for ordinary warriors, there is no need to transport them back.
The next day, Ye Mo took five slave guards and took a small boat to the Kraken Island, one of the six affiliated islands.
