The rippling blue waters of the West Sea only rely on the southeast side of the Ikadiva continent. It is a shallow basin extending outward from the Ikadiva continental shelf.

Under the blue sea, blue sky, and gentle floating blue waves, there are large tracts of fiery red blood coral. There are two legends about the origin of this kind of blood coral that sways like flames at the bottom of the water.

One is because there is a large area of ​​coral growing on the seabed here. These fragile yet strong corals have accumulated over many years. After being eroded by wind and waves, as well as being ravaged by passing ships, they still tenaciously formed countless coral reefs, making the appearance calm. In the eyes of navigators, Rodesi Black has also become a time to grasp, due to the numerous corals and reefs,

This middle area connected to the Dylans Sea is also known as the "Devil's Sea"

Because more people would rather believe the second theory, that somewhere in this area is a coral goddess who is in charge of huge wealth. She controls those priceless red corals.

If you are lucky enough to get one, you will reach the sky in one step and become a wealthy family that everyone admires.

Among the inland dignitaries of the Ikadiva continent, it has become a custom to appreciate and collect corals.

Especially those extremely precious, charming, lustrous, crystal clear, warm and pleasant red corals,

This kind of thing is called "the only thousand-year-old spiritual object with life among jewelry"

I don’t know how many people’s minds it has confused.

The cold is so clear, the heat is so peaceful, the sea breeze is so gentle, and large tracts of red can be faintly seen in the cold. These tenacious and humble life forms are using the years to weave their own miracles, trying hard to break out. Free from the restraints of cold, it shows its beauty to mankind.

Some corals were unfortunately smashed by the hull of the ship, floating on the sea, and then slowly sank. When I saw them casually, I thought they were corals flying freely in the water. Collecting red coral is an important source for the people of Rode West. In order to mine red coral, people have thought of many ways. Some miners even risk their own lives in order to collect red coral.

Dive into the maze-like coral reef to search, hoping to find those beautiful elves.

October every year is the best season to find and mine red corals, because the coral sea is very calm during this month, so calm that the entire sea is like a smooth and transparent mirror.

Only when the ship is passing by will the beautiful white waves be drawn, and the waves will swing to both sides. It is so clear that even when you open your eyes in the cold, you can clearly see objects more than ten meters away.

The earliest pirates from the West Sea of ​​Rode originated from here.

In order to resist the heavy exploitation of the lords and the evil behavior of forcibly driving them to the sea, these Xishao people living on the nearby island chain were divided into thirty-two families according to their respective islands. In the struggle against the Luode navy and the local lords, Became the feared Rode pirates

Ali Zhokaf, known as the "hero of the Ali family", was standing proudly on the bow of the battleship alone. The setting sun in the sky shone on his handsome and resolute face. There were 160 medium-sized ships from various families in China and the sea. The huge fleet of warships, like a flock of wild geese with spread wings, passed through the turbulent waves from his confident gaze, swinging up a huge fan-shaped arc on the sea.

“It’s really spectacular”

When Alizhovka looked at the fiery red land in front of him, a kind of pride of controlling the sea surged in his heart. Looking far into the distance, with a condescending eye, he once again looked at the West Sea under his feet, which was destined to be marked with the Ali family sign.

A ring of coral reefs emerges shallowly, sporadically and orderly surrounding it to form an elliptical ring. It's like a bouquet of flowers thrown to Bihe, or like a string of white jade pearl necklaces thrown to Xianghe. It's gorgeous and colorful. The waves crash on the red coral reef, splashing broken white jade-like waves.

This kind of beauty with gorgeous colors attracted him deeply.

Such beauty has never been seen before in the vast and turbulent times in the middle of the sea. In the storm of the middle sea, the huge waves tens of meters high are enough to destroy anything on it.

But now, it will all belong to the Ali family

Footsteps sounded softly behind.

Alizhovka raised his head proudly, his face not concealing his indifference to the visitor, and asked without looking back, "Is there any news about your forward fleet? What is the reaction of that old stubborn man from Morne Lake?"

"This is an obvious thing, Lord Zhovka." A respectful and flattering voice sounded behind him, and a middle-aged nobleman with a smile on his face appeared next to him. "I have said it before, that old guy from Morn Lake Already old, the gatekeeper who was a powerful figure in the West Sea back then is now just an old dog lying sleepy by the stove.

"The fleet of our Jiliko family broke through his defense line almost effortlessly and has completely blocked the sea outlet of Fallen Leaf Island. As soon as Lord Zhovka's main force arrives, we can easily occupy this rugged sea. The Doorman's Island"

This is an old nobleman in his fifties, with slightly bald hair, and a slender and cunning luster in his eyes, but his face pretends to be an expression of infinite admiration for Alizhovka, as if he is the humblest servant. Seeing the most noble master, I wanted to lie down on the ground and kiss between his toes.

"I think the 60 warships that appeared outside his port have already made this old guy panic. He must be hiding under the table and trembling after hearing the name of His Excellency Zhovka."

"Really? Haha"

In response to the old nobleman's compliment, Alizhovka just snorted with a smile. He was too familiar with this guy who was scornfully called the Tiliko Beaver by various families. He said one thing and said another behind his back. Typical The master behind the scenes,

Among the Zhonghui Shiliu family, the Ji Like family has the worst reputation.

Last time it was this guy who got the news from nowhere.

It is said that a large number of Salander ships carrying precious cargo will pass through Rohde, and several powerful families are encouraged to rob them together.

As a result, when I ran to the location and took a look, I was dumbfounded on the spot. There were dozens of ships as tall and solid as city walls, and there were even super battleships equipped with extremely fierce weapons inside.

The original proposer immediately backed down and gave up even the most basic cover, causing heavy losses to several other fleets.

Alinovka waved his hand to the old beaver with a flattering face, "Then the first battle of this war on the West Sea will be entrusted to Mr. Jiliko. If we can capture Fallen Leaf Island in one fell swoop, we can open up the island chain leading to the West Sea." I asked my family for permission to hand over this island to the Jiliko family as a reward. I heard that this fallen leaf island is one of the best among the twelve families in Xizhu."

"Really? How can you be so embarrassed? This is all under the command of Mr. Ali."

"Who would have thought that we would take advantage of the inertia of the rising tide in winter to cross the fiery devil's horn, which they praised as a natural barrier, leaving these guys from the West Sea completely defenseless." The old nobleman rubbed his hands excitedly and sighed.

"This time we dispatched 200 tooth warships, followed by a main fleet of 400 ships led by the Duke himself. With such a huge fleet, even if all the guys in the West Sea of ​​Rode were added together, they would only be able to escape."

"Take care of your own affairs. The Duke will not be indebted to you this time." There was an unconcealable smile on Alizhovka's lips. Although this old guy was very cunning, his words were still very useful.

The plan for this expedition to the West Sea of ​​Rode had already been formulated in October. With the destruction of the main force of Hedilans, the Ali family, which had originally expanded to the East Sea, quickly changed its original direction of expansion and began to shift its power to one side. Even the Western Sea,

The predecessor of the Ali family was the famous Alipolando family of the Duke of Rod. When this family was at its most glorious, it once had a minister of affairs, minister of justice, and minister of the navy of the king of Rod. It can be said that it was prosperous. The family was full of power, and finally the marriage between the Ali family and the royal family pushed the family to its most glorious peak.

Later, fifteen years ago, during the battle with the Ruidian people in the Sissatusko Corridor, they were negligent and the Ruidian cavalry sneaked over the defense line and attacked the marshal's headquarters in the rear for hundreds of miles, causing the entire front to collapse completely. More than ten people were killed. Thousands of people died in battle, so There was an outcry in Germany and the whole country was hurt. Under the wave of questioning and pressure from various forces, Duke Alidolando had to choose to resign and exile himself from Kyoto to settle down in his ancestral territory by the sea.

Naturally, this great aristocrat, who was inextricably linked to the upper class of Lud, could not remain depressed like this. He soon discovered the huge value in this new land that he had never noticed before, and through some exquisite diplomacy With the help of various methods and secret coordination by the royal family, the criticism of the Duke quickly subsided.

With the support of certain forces in Kyoto, the Ali family quietly became the spokesperson of Luo Dehai. In the name of Luo Dehai bandits, they were actually illegally collecting wealth in the name of private plunder, even with the connivance and support of many forces. With his participation, the power of the Ali family has surpassed the declining Rode navy and has become a veritable overlord of Rode.

This dispatch of troops to the West Sea is an important part of the Ali family's naval strategy. The precious red coral resources here and the advantage of being close to the Wikiya Sea are destined to be the best location to plunder the Wikiya merchant fleet.

As long as they can build a large warship that can sail on long seas, the hands of the Ali family can reach out to the opposite Wikipedia. The joint trade is in full swing like a carp crossing the river. The trade volume is millions of gold coins every year. Put this piece of gleaming If you don't take a few bites of the golden cake, wouldn't you be sorry for the golden name of the Ali family?

Destiny dictated that the two kingdoms would engage in a life-and-death fight on the vast expanse of land, thus kicking off the first Lode voyage. . ..
