Chapter 91 Let's Fight Pirates Together

The days of steadily building the island base did not last forever, and the accident finally appeared three days after Neval led the large cargo magic ship to leave. ,

"Lord Leslie, the Kandela Empire fleet was discovered ten kilometers northwest of here. Judging from the direction, it should be heading this way."

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Leslie thought about it for a while, and did not do anything else. He just made all the ships of the escort fleet ready for the battle, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Kandela Empire fleet.

This has long been expected.

It must be understood that they are operating in the southern waters of the Candela Empire. If after so many days, the Candela Empire Navy still has not received any news or responded, it can only prove that the Candela Empire Navy has nothing to worry about.

Facts have proved that although their reactions were still a little slow, they still made the expected reactions after all.

For the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, in order to successfully gain a foothold in this sea area, it must face the Candela Empire Navy head-on.

The escort fleet can run away, but the island cannot.

About half an hour later, the fleet with the temperament of the Candela Empire appeared in the northwest sea.

The moment Leslie saw this fleet, the big stone in Leslie's heart immediately dropped.

At a glance, this fleet only has more than 30 ships, and there are only two Thunder-class royal warships, which is worse than the third fleet that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort fleet encountered when it first came into contact with the Royal Fleet of the Candela Empire. Too much.

The Candela Imperial Navy clearly came after receiving the news, and had a certain understanding of the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort fleet, but only sent such a small fleet. Well unless their commander is an idiot. Otherwise, it is definitely not prepared to come to conflict with the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

really. When Leslie let them approach, the entire Kandela Imperial Navy fleet stopped a kilometer away from the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and only a thunder-class royal warship at the forefront drove over.

As the thunder-class royal warship approached, it waved its semaphore to this side through the watchtower of the upper mast.

Although the semaphores of each sea area in the Endless Sea are slightly different, there are some semaphores that are common.

For example, the semaphore displayed by this thunder-class royal warship is very simple and clear, it means to show peace and friendship, and it means that there is no doubt that there is a conflict.

Leslie put down the binoculars and ordered his flagship to meet him.

The two ships approached side by side in the sea between the two fleets. The ship sides on both sides are parallel and close to each other.

Leslie came to the side of the ship, glanced at the opposite side, and saw a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Royal Navy officer of the Candela Empire looking over.

The two made eye contact, and Leslie felt relieved when he saw the middle-aged man smiling and his eyes soft, apparently without any hostility.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Lord Leslie, the commander of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

The distance between the two boats was less than twenty meters. The middle-aged man only raised his voice slightly, and Leslie could hear him clearly.

Leslie was slightly taken aback. Unexpectedly, the other party recognized him at a glance.

It can be seen that the other party is also prepared. There must have been some investigation and research on the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"Yes, I am Leslie. May I ask who is the master of the Kandela Imperial Navy fleet?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "I'm Remito Russell. I think Lord Leslie should have heard my name from Chairman Xu."

Leslie couldn't help but relax.

Of course he heard Xu Yi mention the name.

Remito Russell is the deputy chief of staff of the Candela Empire Navy. He is an out-and-out big man in the Candela Empire Navy, and his position is much higher than the deputy commander of the Third Fleet that he met before.

Leslie never imagined that this time this big man would come all the way from the mainland of the Candela Empire.

"Master Russell, it is a great honor to meet you. The President reminded me to mention your name, and said that you are a good friend of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If I have the opportunity to see you again, I would like to thank you on his behalf. Hello."

Russell narrowed his eyes slightly, and an intriguing smile flashed across his face.

Xu Yi asked Leslie to say hello to him on his behalf?

Could it be that he already knew that he would come to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to escort the fleet?

"Hehe, President Xu is polite. I went to your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to meet with President Xu, and we had a good chat. I am very interested in your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort fleet, and now I heard that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort fleet It seems that something is going on here, so I can't help but want to take a look with my curiosity. Lord Leslie, don't you think I've come here abruptly?"

Leslie laughed loudly: "Of course not. It is my honor to get Master Russell's attention. Master Russell, if you are really interested, why not go to the island ahead with us now, I will take Can you take a look at what we are doing?"

Russell was startled again, he didn't expect Leslie to take him there so generously.

After pondering for a while, he was not polite, nodded to Leslie to lead the way, and then only took him to sit on the Thunder-class Royal Warship and sailed to the pirates in the distance with the flagship under Leslie.

In just a few days, apart from some simple huts, nothing decent was built on the island.

But when Russell asked, Leslie very frankly explained to Russell the development plan of the new flying chamber of commerce for this island.

"Look, Master Russell, our chamber of commerce will first build a deep-water pier here, so that our escort fleet can dock here for rest in the future. At the same time, it will also facilitate the loading and unloading of various materials brought by the chamber of commerce."

"Well, if you want to do something on this island, a pier is essential. But Mr. Leslie, with the size of your new flying chamber of commerce frigate and transport ships, the scale of this pier may not be too small .” Russell nodded.

Leslie glanced at Russell and found that there was no strange look on his face. It's as if you're having a very normal conversation with yourself.

This makes him a little strange.

It is said that this sea area is in the south of the Candela Empire. For the Candela Empire, which has always regarded itself as a great empire. But he has always regarded this sea area as his own back garden.

Now the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce came here with the intention of occupying this island. With the consistent style of the Candela Empire, it is obvious that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should be driven away directly.

But this Russell didn't mean it at all, he seemed to acquiesce to Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's actions.

Thinking of this, Leslie couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart.

It's no wonder that Xu Yi is very confident and bold in preparing to develop the islands in this sea area. Could it be that when he met Russell last time, he had actually reached some agreement secretly?

But if this is the case. Why didn't he tell himself?

There are not many things on the island, so naturally there is nothing to see. It took less than half an hour for Russell to finish his visit to the island and listen to Leslie's explanation.

But of course Russell didn't just turn around and leave. Instead, after chatting with Leslie for a few words, he winked at the entourage around him, and the entourage walked away.

Leslie immediately understood, and also nodded to the subordinates around him.

After all his subordinates left, Russell looked at Leslie again. After pondering for a moment, he said seriously: "Master Leslie, everyone is sensible, so I won't talk nonsense. I'm here this time to ask your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort fleet to help you."

"Help?" Leslie was slightly surprised. "Master Russell, please tell me. If there is a place where our escort fleet can be used, we will definitely do our best."

Russell nodded, and continued: "According to various sources of information, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort fleet is extremely powerful at sea, and it just so happens that our Imperial Navy is currently...well, we have encountered a little difficulty and need some help. If If you are willing to help, on behalf of the Imperial Navy, I can give you the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort fleet a certain degree of autonomy in this sea area. For example, I can pretend that I don’t know about this island, do you understand what I mean?”

Leslie took a deep look at Russell, and didn't rush to answer.

He didn't believe that the Candela Imperial Navy would encounter any unsolvable difficulties, and needed to come to the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for help.

Although the combat power of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is indeed excellent, but with the strong strength of the Kandela Empire Navy, what difficulties can not be solved in this sea area?

But Russell named the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort fleet to help, and even put forward a very tempting condition, which is a bit intriguing.

After serious consideration for a while, Leslie made up his mind thinking of the few words Xu Yi had mentioned in the previous letter.

"Master Russell, what kind of help do you need from us?" Leslie asked.

"Uh... According to the latest information we have obtained, many pirate groups have sprung up in the nearby waters. It is said that they all came from the eastern seas. Our naval fleet has been having... difficulties recently. It is difficult to deal with these pirates. They are all eliminated, so we need to rely on the strength of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort fleet. As far as I know, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort fleet has always spared no effort to combat pirates, and I think we should have the possibility of cooperating in this regard." Russell explained.

"Cooperate to fight against pirates?" Leslie was a little surprised, but he was relieved after thinking about it.

That's right, if it wasn't for cooperation in the fight against pirates, why would the powerful Kandela Empire Navy come to cooperate with a mere chamber of commerce escort fleet?

After thinking about it, Leslie nodded and said: "Okay. Master Russell, on behalf of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I express my willingness to cooperate with the Imperial Navy to jointly combat pirates in the nearby waters and contribute my own efforts to restore peace in this sea area." Little power."

Russell smiled and nodded, but his eyes turned to the frigates of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that were parked on the sea outside the pirates, reflecting the silver light. His eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking. (To be continued..)
