Chapter 139: The Pirate Fleet Attacks!

Mid-July of the Haiyuan calendar year 1499.

The Navy's G-ICE branch, located on the deepest water island of the New World, has finally completed its initial construction and begun operations.

At the same time, Ji Guoyuanyi was stationed in the small town of Miguo, hundreds of miles away from Shuixianxing Island. With the support of the people, he successfully established a naval base.

Because Tsugumi Yoshiichi helped the people of Shuixianxing Island find their missing children, Tsugumi Yoshiichi gained a high degree of trust from the people of Migo Town, so Tsugumi Yoshiichi's establishment of a naval base went quite smoothly.

The saying that good people will be rewarded is somewhat reflected at this time.

When the new base was established, Yuichi Tsugakuin did not need Kuzan to allocate any special funds to him. When the people heard that Yuichi Tsugakuin was in need, they spontaneously organized themselves to help Yuichi Tsugakuin establish the base.

When building the stronghold, Yoriichi Tsugikuni didn't need to recruit any craftsmen. People came forward to help build the stronghold, and even the wood needed to build the house was arranged for Yoriichi.

Miguo Town is a large town with a population of nearly 100,000, and the naval base located here is also quite large.

Because this place needs to echo with the G-ICE branch on Shuixianxing Island, at the beginning of its establishment, Tsugumi Yuichiro evaluated the number of people and combat power needed to protect this place in the future.

The regulations are built according to a full-staff branch of 1,000 people.

After establishing a stronghold in Kuniyoshi, the G-ICE Navy began a massive recruitment plan.

500 people were added to Shuixianxing Island, and 200 people were added to the rice cake town base in Guoyuanyi.

The recruitment plan of less than a thousand people was completed without any effort. The trust and prestige that Jigoku Yuichi had built up in Miguo Town played a role.

The young people here have already witnessed the cruelty of the pirate world, and faced with this opportunity to become stronger, everyone wants to seize it.

The 700 people recruited were the result of selection from the best of the best, and the actual number of applicants was nearly 4,000.

Not long after the recruitment was completed, several grassroots officers assigned by General Zhan Guo finally arrived at Shuixianxing Island.

Kuzan transferred Cyrus to Tsugikuni Yoriichi, and kept the other junior officers. After Cyrus arrived, Tsugikuni Yoriichi handed over the training of the new recruits to Cyrus.

Tsugikuni Yoshiichi basically did not interfere in the "affairs" of the stronghold, and gave everything to Cyrus, and he himself began to live a regular life again.

Practice and become stronger!

This is what Yuichiro Tsugikuni cares about most. The previous incident with CP0 made Yuichiro Tsugikuni taste the privileges brought by "strength".

In order to ensure that I can continue to be so "free" and improve my strength, I absolutely cannot relax!

Time passes and summer quietly leaves.

In the golden autumn of October, Miguo Town ushers in the harvest season.

Miguo Town itself is a large agricultural town with three harvests a year. With the arrival of autumn, the residents of the island have become busy.

And it was during such a joyous harvest season that the navy's patrol mission began to intensify.

The harvest season also means pirates are about to start to become active. The small town of Miguo, located deep in the New World, has always been a fat sheep for pirates. During this season, pirates from all over the world will come to the island to beg for food.

These pirates also have a good understanding of each other. When they come to the island, they will not kill people indiscriminately. At most, they will clean up some ignorant people. Most of the time, they just take the food and leave.

Under rounds of exploitation, the residents of Miguo Town can only barely make ends meet.

However, such living conditions are not bad in the harsh environment of the New World. At least, lives are saved and they will not starve.

However, this year, with Kuzan's G-ICE branch stationed on Shuixianxing Island and Guo Yuanyi establishing a base in Miguo Town, this situation of being exploited year after year will eventually change.

At noon, a green warship docked at the port of Miguo Town. Kuzan led dozens of navy officers off the ship and headed directly towards the naval base on the island.

When Kuzan arrived at the naval base in Migo Town, Cyrus was training the new recruits. During these few months, Cyrus's main task was to guide the new recruits to strengthen their bodies.

When Kuzan passed by the training ground, he happened to see a scene of bustling activity. Cyrus spotted Kuzan, who had arrived with his team, from a distance. After signaling the new recruits to continue training, he trotted over to Kuzan, saluted with a smile, and said hello:

"Major General Kuzan, why are you here?"

"Are you inspecting the branch?"

After spending so much time in the navy, Cyrus had become accustomed to distinguishing between military ranks and positions when addressing others, and there was an inexplicable sense of distance between him and Kuzan.

"Cyrus!"

"I'm here to look for Yunyi."

"Every year during the harvest season in Rice Cake Town, pirates 'visit'. We have to be prepared in advance!"

"This will be our branch's first battle in the new world. Whether we can gain a foothold depends on whether we can defend Miguo Town!"

Kuzan explained to Cyrus with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Cyrus nodded solemnly, but then a smile appeared on his face, and he flattered Kuzan:

"Major General Kuzan, don't worry. If the pirates knew that Migo Town was guarded by you and Brigadier General Jigoku, they would probably give up the idea of ​​attacking here immediately."

"Maybe the pirates won't come this year!"

Cyrus said with a smile, and his words also made the Flying Squirrel and others behind Kuzan laugh. Judging from their looks, they didn't take the pirates of the New World seriously at all.

Kuzan heard this and shook his head with a smile:

"Don't underestimate pirates. As long as the reward is generous enough, pirates will take action even if it means taking some risks."

"Being afraid of the navy might be something the weak pirates of the Four Seas would do, but this is the New World!"

“There is never a shortage of brave people!”

"As for Yunyi, I'll discuss the deployment with him first."

Listening to Kuzan's words, Cyrus and others also restrained their smiles, but their faces were still full of confidence. These young sailors had not suffered any "serious blows" yet and were full of confidence in themselves and the strength of the branch.

"Brigadier General Jiguo is training, right? He should be at the beach right now. Didn't you see him when you came here?"

On a sea cliff west of Miguo Town, Jigoku Yuanyi was sitting cross-legged on the shore with his eyes slightly closed, relaxing the muscles of his whole body through meditation. His long sword was placed flat on his thigh. With his even breathing, the armed color domineering aura spread out in all directions.

As the sea breeze blew, Ji Guoyuan's loose training clothes fluttered in the wind, and his long bright red hair danced freely in the wind.

At this moment, a large number of masts suddenly appeared above the vast ocean.

Nearly a hundred ships of various sizes and shapes appeared on the sea level. On the main masts of these ships were hung all kinds of strange skull flags.

Pirate ships, these ships that suddenly appeared to the west of Miguo Town were actually pirate ships. Judging from their number, there were probably eighty or ninety of them!

Ji Guoyuan, who was meditating, seemed to sense something, slowly opened his eyes, calmly looked at the pirate ships that suddenly appeared on the sea level, and slowly stood up.

"So many pirate ships."

"The goal is probably not as simple as robbing Miguo Town."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi murmured, holding the knife in his left hand, waiting quietly for the pirate ship to approach.

"Captain! Miguo Town is right in front of us. What should we do? Go directly to the island, or destroy Miguo Town directly?"

On a hundred-meter-long ship, a young pirate with a fierce face walked up to the blond middle-aged man and asked loudly.

The middle-aged man whom he called the captain was wearing a golden cloak, with golden hair draped over his shoulders. There was even a ship's rudder on top of his head, which was extremely strange.

"Destroy it directly?"

"If we destroy it directly, how will the navy know that it was me, Shiki the Golden Lion, who did it?!"

"Go to the island and say hello to the navy stationed there first!"

"Haha. Hahahaha!"

Golden Lion Shiki stood at the bow, looking at the island that was getting closer and closer, his face was ferocious, his left hand tightly grasped the empty sleeve of his right forearm, and the veins on his face were bulging.

As he spoke, the Golden Lion drew a hiltless longsword from his waist and said to his men:

"Strap on my sword! Get ready for some mayhem!"
