King of the Fairy City

City Lord Min was suddenly embarrassed and thought to himself, this guy named Hong is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

He laughed quickly 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 learn from each other's needs.

The family surnamed Ye monopolizes six spiritual islands, which is more than twice as many as ours. In time, they will become a nuisance to their confidants. Does Brother Hong have no objection 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 that I have taken this step. I have been busy building the village recently and have no time to take care of anything else.”

Such an answer was not what the question was asked, 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, and he was indifferent."

"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 because Xue Ying was injured earlier, 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. City Lord Min has many subordinates and is assisted by an old housekeeper who is good at running fairy villages. 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 snatch the spiritual island from Ye's Fairy Village.

For this reason, the four fairy villages each sent monk spies to monitor Ye's spiritual island and six islands. Look for opportunities and prepare 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 Ye's Fairy Village. As long as the three companies join forces, each dedicates about half of their strength, and mobilizes three or four sea ships, it will be enough to form a strong enough advantage over Ye Cun.

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 Yeshi Fairy Village, the dock at this coastal port has very weak defenses.

In order to ensure the safety of the dock, a specially built spirit wood wall was built. Once the sea monster 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 closer 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 holds the warship drawings and grasps 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 taken shape.

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 a light-armored warship will be completed in two days. Wang Hu will send the copper cannon. However, , the crew 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 looked at every part of the ship's hull carefully and couldn't help but nod to 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 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 crew members brought out by Chang Fei, with 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 needs ten or twenty people, including 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 known 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 that there were high-speed flying sailboats powered by spirit stones. But for the weak Xiaoxian Village, that is 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 furthest 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 old sailors. I’ve asked someone to do some research, but it’s really hard to find 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 when they hear that it is Xinxian Village. The risks in Xinxian Village are very high. 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, Tunuwei 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 showed a surprised look, but did not ask. He stayed briefly, then returned to the pirate ship, arranging travel between the islands, transporting materials, and replenishing supplies.

Ye's main island and the six surrounding subsidiary islands must be visited every two days.

"Are you saying that 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 have 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 the snake, please 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, the 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 water type monk in the Qi training stage, was hiding in the dense seaweed at the port, monitoring the activities of Ye's Fairy Village.

The water invisibility technique is useless for the little fire crow who is born with the invisible "fire eyes", and it is also invalid for the golden eagle with the "golden eyes".

"Master, what do they want?"

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.”

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."

Ah Li's eyes brightened, he waved his 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 off 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.
