Although there are a few farmlands on the island, they are mostly used to grow vegetables. For the pirates living on White Whale Island, seafood is one of their main sources of food. As for food such as bread and wheat, they need to regularly restock them from outside.
They originally thought that today would be a day for paddling and fishing, but they didn't expect to be interrupted by a scene they suddenly saw.
“Quick… look!”
A pirate pointed at the sea in the distance and shouted in panic.
His companion looked over and saw four large ships on the sea breaking through the waves towards White Whale Island.
As pirates, in addition to boarding ships to fight, they are also very good at identifying the flags of nobles.
"It's the royal warship!"
“There are also flags of the Wushan family and the Dennis family!”
"The noble warships are here to destroy us!"
The five people rowed the wooden boat towards the shore in panic, trying to reach the shore first and then find a place to hide.
It was a pity that they were a little far from the shore. After they had completely landed, the nobles' ship was less than a hundred meters away from them.
At this moment, the white griffin took off into the sky and Missy landed from the air.
Looking closely, Karada was holding onto the griffin's claws and climbing ashore in a strange way.
Whoosh! The griffin quickly arrived above the five pirates, then rapidly descended in altitude. When it was only a dozen meters above the ground, Karada let go of his hands, and the whole person fell from the air, landing steadily in front of the pirates.
Thunder flashed on the knight's sword, and without using any fighting skills, the ordinary thunder fighting spirit knocked down the pirate in front of him.
"If you don't want to die, kneel down and surrender!"
The remaining four pirates knew they were no match for the pirates, so they immediately fled in all directions. But at this moment, a griffin swung down from the sky and passed over the pirates' heads at an extremely high speed. The strong wind knocked the pirates to the ground.
On the royal warship, Roning looked at the landing battle that was as simple as a dock, and sighed for a moment.
On the way here, he imagined the scene of landing on White Whale Island.
For example, they may be attacked by fierce arrows from pirates on the shore, or they may resort to jumping ashore by force in order to break through the enemy's defense line.
To this end, Roning took out all the level 4 ice cone magic cannons that he had snatched before, and combined them with the level 6 magic cannons on the royal warship to minimize the difficulty of the landing operation.
But he never expected that the landing battle would be so simple.
He even suspected that perhaps without the cooperation of Karada and Missy, they would not encounter any resistance.
As the four large ships approached the simple dock, Luo Ning and others got off the ships one after another.
At this time, Baron Melonica, who was obsessed with cultivation, showed up at the right time, came to the danger zone, and started working.
Luo Ning couldn't help but laugh and said, "You finally decided to come out of the room."
Melonica was in a good mood, "I have made some small gains. After things here are settled, I will find a place to practice."
Luo Ning thought to himself, this guy is truly a crazy cultivator.
He began to look around, focusing on the simple dock under his feet.
Such a simple dock is built entirely of wood. It does not take much time to build, is not difficult, and the construction cost is relatively low.
Perhaps before the official wharf in Wubei Territory is built, Roning can consider building such a simple wharf as a transition.
In this way, Wubeiling will have the conditions to train the navy without having to travel thousands of miles to train in Dennis Port.
Ronin came in front of Karada, and at this moment Knight Missy also drove the griffin to land from the air.
"You two really have a good rapport in your cooperation."
Luo Ning smiled and said, "Have you ever been trained?"
Missy didn't answer, and Karada said awkwardly: "It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea."
It turned out that a day ago, the leader of the pirate group took several members on three large ships and left White Whale Island, saying that there was a special operation. The other members on the island did not know when the leader would return.
After hearing this, Lu Qi from Pointed City couldn't help but say, "This is not a special operation at all, it's clearly abandoning the island and leaving."
Roning nodded.
It was obvious that their leader had inside information and knew about the royal family's actions in advance.
In other words, there is someone supporting the White Whale Pirates.
"Vic." Ronin shouted.
Captain Vic, who was waiting outside, heard the shout and immediately trotted over.
He is now very respectful to Roning.
The captives captured in Horn Bay are still in captivity. They will either be sent to the gallows or sent to the exchange to be permanently labeled as slaves.
Only Vic and two other experienced crew members escaped punishment unscathed.
Vic knew that all this was thanks to the young nobleman in front of him.
"Sir, Vic is happy to serve you!"
Luo Ning asked: "Does the White Whale Pirates have other bases?"
Vic shook his head. "I've been to sea many times over the years. In addition to hijacking ships, I've also been to other island ports for supplies. I don't have a second base."
Luo Ning thought for a moment and ordered, "Then ask Baron Luchi to arrange some people to look after the ship, and the rest of the people to go to the pirates' living area and capture them all."
Everyone had no objection to this arrangement, and soon the capture of the remaining pirates was quickly launched.
This is a troublesome but not dangerous job.
It took the knights half a day to finally gather all the pirates and slaves on the island together.
After interrogation, it was discovered that there were only three extraordinary knights left on White Whale Island, and they were all junior knights, and the rest were all ordinary people.
Led by Vic, David and Tom searched several key wooden buildings.
"Sir, we have searched these places, and apart from some scattered silver and copper coins, there is no trace of a single gold coin."
"Besides that, we did find some wheat grains in the warehouse. I heard that the pirate leader moved a lot of it when he left, but he probably didn't have enough time to load it all."
Roning nodded.
The leader White Whale took away all the core members of the pirate group, ships and important property, and it seemed that he was ready to abandon this base.
Luo Ning had originally planned to stay here for two days to wait and see, but now it seems that this is completely unnecessary.
"Go collect the information of the captives and see if there are any useful talents, especially craftsmen, crew members, etc."
Luo Ning said: "If there are any, keep them and bring them back to Wubei Territory."
"Yes, sir!"
Wubeiling lacks people who are familiar with the ocean. Although the people living on Beluga Island are on an island, it is undeniable that they are more familiar with the ocean.
Roning could definitely bring them back to Wubei Territory.
Although it may not be of much use, it can at least provide some guidance and experience for the knights, guards and others in Wubei Territory.
As for whether they had spies from other nobles or something like that, Roning didn't care.
As long as this group of people cannot get to the core position, it will be fine. (End of this chapter)
