Chapter 360 The Turn of Fate

"Damn, we're going to get rich..." George muttered. It's 300 gold kerns for catching an elf ship, how much is the reward for discovering a tree boat?

"But the tree boat is so big, we can't tow it back!" The first mate said anxiously, and the green island in the distance looked like a mountain of gold in his eyes.

This is definitely a big problem - they don't have a reliable means of communication.

If they go back to report the news, the tree boat may turn around and they can't find it anymore.

The captain stamped his feet, "Damn, it would be great if there was a wizard on the ship."

"When we make enough money this time, let's recruit a wizard."

"Who would still be a pirate after making enough money? Do you still want to be the pirate king?" The captain glared at the first mate like he was looking at an idiot, "Forget it, send a flare to call the surrounding ships over!"

The imperials couldn't see the flare, but their colleagues who were also chasing the elves had a chance to see it. As long as there were two ships, one could stare at the tree boat and the other could go back to report the news.

But this would also bring corresponding losses.

The pirates who came after hearing the news would not be modest about the credit of the master and the deputy.

"Split in half..." The first mate suddenly felt a pain in his heart, "Boss, is there any other way?"

"Stop talking nonsense, do what I say!" George said impatiently, and he was also very distressed in his heart. The more money the reward was, the more it would be divided, but it was better than not getting a penny. "If you delay it any longer, more people may see it. You don't want to get only a fraction of it in the end, do you?"

This sentence instantly convinced the first mate.

He turned around and loudly relayed the captain's order: "Black Crow, turn left! Load the flare-fire immediately!"

...

The flagship of the pursuit fleet, in the stern of the Invincible.

It was getting dark when Tular received the news.

To be honest, he couldn't believe that he was so lucky.

"Are you sure it was a new green boat!?" He stared at George and asked.

"My Lord, I swear it's true!" The latter patted his chest and said, "It looks a little smaller than this one, but it is indeed a green boat - I can't think of anything that looks like an island and can float on the sea."

"Very good." Tular took a deep breath, "You go back to your ship and wait for orders. If the news is reliable, you will be rewarded!"

"Thank you, my Lord." George saluted like a noble.

After the pirate captain left, Tular showed a look of contempt.

"My Lord, what are you going to do?" Philin Carter stood beside him and asked with his hands behind his back.

"Do I have a second choice?" Tular picked up the freshly brewed coffee and took a sip, "This is an opportunity given by the Moon Goddess. There is no reason for me to let it go."

Although the titles are all lords, there are big differences between lords - he was named a viscount and managed the trade, expansion and other affairs of the Western Sea. It sounds very good, but everyone knows that compared with the other two seas in the east, this sea is no different from a bare desert.

Even the empire cannot reach the other side of the world.

His only achievement was to establish diplomatic relations with an island country that called itself Dongsheng, and rent a port on the island. However, he was too embarrassed to talk about this relationship back to Silisti. The island was obviously influenced by the mainland kingdom. Not only was it xenophobic, but it was even more difficult to spread the doctrine. The resources of the island country were also mediocre. Mineral empires were not rare, and there were no luxury goods. In two years, even a trade route could not be built.

He dreamed of returning to the ocean area, back to the center of the world.

Now the opportunity was here.

Two tree boats and the money rewarded were secondary. It meant honor and a new title - even if there was no suitable fiefdom, at least it could be exchanged for a more promising position.

"What about the Silver Star Tree Boat?"

"Just leave it here, the sea breeze can't blow it away anyway." Tular paused, "By the way, have the new elders of the islanders been elected?"

"Some people have already accepted their fate - after killing forty-five magicless people." The captain replied easily, "According to the female wizard, it takes two to three days to resonate with the tree spirit, and then the Silver Star will be under our control."

Tular pondered for a moment, "Once the tree boat can move, it will immediately head to Silisti. There is no need to wait for us to meet up, so as to avoid more trouble. As for the remaining troops, let the Midnight Horn follow. I will arrange four more pirate ships to escort - but don't trust these gangsters too much, they sometimes need to be guarded more than the elves."

Five warships, plus more than a thousand soldiers stationed on the island, should be enough to guard the imprisoned slaves.

"What about the female mage?"

"Do you think she will follow my instructions and put down her research to chase another tree boat? Don't forget that she represents the Mage Tower. I can't control such a person."

"Okay," Philin Carter shrugged, "It seems that letting her guard the Silver Star Tree Boat is also a good choice."

"Then pass my order, the Invincible and Angela to raise the anchor and sail, and notify the pirates to let them decide which ship to chase." Tular said decisively, "We will set off tonight!"

"As you wish, my lord."

He stood up, walked to the porthole and looked out. Through the layers of dark clouds, he could see the dim golden light sinking into the sea and sky little by little.

The gray-blue sea was also covered with a dense golden scale because of the sunset.

Whether it is sunny or rainy, whether it is cold or hot, the ocean under the afterglow is the most beautiful scenery in his mind.

Because it means that night is coming.

That is the domain of the Moon Goddess.

Under the protection of the gods, he will be invincible.

…

"The enemy's ship has raised its sails!"

Tyr shouted in a low voice.

Everyone crouched down and looked out through the dense roots. They saw that the largest flagship had full sails and the ropes connected to the tree boat were also retracted.

"Very good," Fann whistled softly, "Hurry up and pass this news back to Jinxia!"

They actually left...

Zhuo Fulan was stunned by surprise. She had heard these people mention words such as "division" and "enticement" in their conversation before, and she was still muttering in her heart how could the enemy abandon the Silver Star Tree Boat and continue to move west. Unexpectedly, the two sides were just like they had communicated in advance, and they really performed step by step according to the agreement.

This was a way of fighting she had never seen before. Every move of the enemy was exposed to the surveillance of the party, and any changes would be known to the decision-makers at the first time... Even if she had never been in contact with war, she could clearly understand every step of the enemy and our side.

Zhuo Fulan couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it. She just felt that the World Island had been fighting the Empire with its eyes blindfolded in the past. Not to mention her, even the older tribesmen could only simply describe the invasion as "the enemy attacked and they lost." As for the process, few people could explain it clearly.

What exactly caused the Noah compatriots to change their way of resistance?

"There are new instructions over there." Haim Shaman put down the receiver.

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at him at the same time.

"The high priest asked us to be prepared. The initial counterattack will start from this side."
