On the east side of the island is the Banshee Trading Port.

Rosen was standing on top of a mountain behind the harbor.

A viewing platform has been built here to shelter from the rain. Standing on the platform and looking out into the distance, you can see the endless blue-green sea.

You can see many combat speedboats cruising on the sea, many banshees flying in the sky, and groups of sea mermen in the sea.

The marine fishermen used ropes made from seaweed to drag the fish they caught to the port for trading, and in return they received many mainland supplies that were difficult to obtain in the sea.

For example, simple ritual objects, pottery, barbecue, clay paintings, clothes, decorations, etc.

Near the port, there is also a fairly spacious white-sand beach where you can see many men and women playing and having fun. They are the Sun Warriors and Banshees.

The way both parties play is direct and primitive. As they play, they will merge into each other without any shyness or reserve.

There are quite a lot of them, there are hundreds of banshees visible to the naked eye, and new ones join in from time to time.

"At the peak of the day, there may be more than 500 banshees, and they are increasing day by day. Even the Sun Warriors are almost not enough."

The person reporting the situation was Major Harry, who is now the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, specializing in maintaining the security of maritime trade.

Rosen sighed softly: "The banshees are really too energetic. Don't they have any other hobbies besides this?"

Because of the Banshee incident, this beach has been called Pleasure Beach.

In addition to the Sun Warriors, there were many other men with insatiable desires who sneaked over to have fun.

It cannot be stopped, everyone is thinking about love, and it has even affected the normal production and life on the island.

A young man's voice came from the side: "Lord, in fact, there are, and they are not much different from us humans."

Rosen looked over and saw it was Frodo.

This man is a refugee from the Duchy of Bohemia. Due to his outstanding performance, he is now the captain of the Sun Warriors and his rank has been promoted to lieutenant.

He is really amazing.

With his own strength, he married three banshee wives, one of whom was a small banshee lord, and he tamed all three banshee wives.

There is no doubt that he is an expert in dealing with banshees!

Rosen asked with interest: "Tell me about it."

Frodo immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said seriously: "My lord, the banshees are indeed energetic, but this is mainly due to the difficult life in the sea."

"You know, the sea water temperature is very low, and swimming quickly in the sea requires a lot of strength. Those banshees with poor physical fitness and slow swimming speed simply cannot survive in the sea."

"But not all banshees like to stay in the sea."

"In fact, many of them also yearn for the prosperity and tranquility of the land, but because of the teachings of their ancestors and their natural fear of the land world, they have to be bound to the cold sea for generations."

After a pause, he said, "My three witch wives have been facing many new things every day since they came to land, and their love for those primitive pleasure activities has greatly decreased."

"Of course, it's still much taller than a normal woman, but it's nowhere near as tall as those sea banshees."

Rosen listened carefully and felt that the other party was down-to-earth and combined theory with practice, worthy of being a banshee expert.

He then asked, "How many banshees are there in the Triangle Sea?"

Frodo immediately said, "My eldest wife is a banshee lord who once managed an area of ​​several kilometers of sea. She once had 15 banshee sisters and a 400-man murloc tribe under her."

"She said that at the annual Tide Festival, there are probably seven or eight hundred little banshee lords like her."

In other words, there are probably more than 10,000 banshees in the Triangle Sea.

Considering that the triangular sea area is an equilateral triangle with a side length of more than 300 kilometers, the total area is approximately close to 40,000 square kilometers, which is much larger than Hainan Island on Earth.

With such a large area and so few sirens, the distribution is quite sparse.

"What is the Tide Festival?"

"It was a gathering of the entire clan in the bay of Hank Island, about 300 kilometers to the southeast."

"At the party, the Siren Queen Laertris will appear and give the newly born young sirens the Azure Blessing."

After a pause, Frodo told a shocking news.

"My wife said that once a banshee is born, she is no different from humans and can give birth to many boys. However, boys will not receive the blue blessing of the Banshee Queen, so they will be abandoned by their mothers soon after they are born."

In the sea, if a baby is abandoned by its mother, it can drown in minutes.

Everyone in the shelter cried out in surprise, thinking that this tradition was incredibly cruel!

After everyone calmed down, Rosen immediately asked: "Are there any other considerations regarding the Azure Blessing?"

"have."

Frodo began to explain in detail.

"Every year during the Tide Festival, the Banshee Queen will only grant 50 blessings. Therefore, only 50 true banshees will be born every year."

"The rest of the children were either abandoned, but not thrown into the sea, but quietly left with their fathers."

Having said this, Frodo turned around and looked at everyone.

"It's true that banshees love pleasure, but they are very picky about the objects of pleasure. They have to be strong enough."

"This is to ensure that the children born are as strong as possible, to ensure that they can receive the Azure Blessing."

"In the past, they would quietly approach the coast, carefully disguise themselves using Transfiguration, and carefully look for men of their choice in order to reproduce."

Rosen nodded repeatedly and thought to himself: "I thought they were a new race, but it turns out they are just a group of poor women who fled to the sea to make a living."

He asked again: "Will your wives be punished by the Queen of Enchanted Women for marrying you and never returning to the ocean?"

Frodo shook his head: "No, otherwise they wouldn't dare to do it."

Rosen understood: "In other words, the Banshee Queen has no control over the free will of the Banshees?"

"Yes, but there are constraints of power."

"For the banshees who choose to leave the sea, the next generation will not receive the blue blessing, and will no longer have the power to soar across the sea and sky, and will become like us ordinary people."

“They are worried that they will have no way out in the future.”

Rosen nodded to show that he understood.

The banshee trade has been going on for almost a month, and the banshees have shown a very strong yearning for the land, but in the end, only about a hundred people took the last step.

It takes great courage to go against ancient traditions that have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years.

"Are there other banshees in the deep sea outside?"

"No, because we can't find enough food, but there should be a group of banshees in the coastal area of ​​East Golden Cape."

"By the way, my wife said that the life of that tribe is not good. Their numbers are becoming smaller and smaller because they are constantly being hunted by Levender slave ships."

"For this reason, many banshees had to risk crossing the deep sea and rush all the way to the northwest to join Queen Laertris."

Rosen was slightly delighted by this and immediately asked, "So, there is a group of banshees who know the route from the East Golden Cape to the Triangle Sea?"

"That's right."

"What's in the deep sea?"

"It is said that there are two most terrifying types of giant beasts."

"One is whales, giant whales, some as big as 70 or 80 meters long. When they float on the sea, they are as big as islands."

"The other type is a deep-sea octopus. Its tentacles are five or six meters thick and hundreds of meters long when stretched. Its head is also very large and it controls terrifying mental magic."

"It won't be a problem if we encounter giant whales, because the banshees can fly, and although the giant whales may have a bad temper, they can't reach them."

"It would be troublesome if they met a deep-sea octopus. The terrible mind spells could easily knock them out and eventually they would become food for the octopus."

"So, whether you can cross the deep sea depends a lot on luck."

This news made Rosen's joyful mood become a little dim.

Not to mention his current level of navigation, even the warships from the Witt Continent would have a hard time encountering these deep-sea monsters and would be easily capsized.

I couldn't help but wonder: 'Could it be that this deep-sea route can't be opened in a short time?'

In his strategy, this route is very important, not only involving the White Sturgeon Island, but also the fate of the giant island of Weilan.

Because at present, there is only one safe route from the giant island of Weilan to the continent of Witt, and this route is blocked by Aaron.

This is equivalent to having only one breath in Go.

With one breath, there is no room for turning back. The throat is tightly grasped by someone. Those with some backbone will struggle, but they will soon find that the struggle is useless. The only way to survive is to kneel down and act like a dog.

Only when you can get a breath of fresh air and have the best of both worlds, will you be qualified to sit at the table and play cards.

Perhaps, only when truly powerful battleships and cannons are built in the future will we be able to break through the blockade of these deep-sea monsters.

But to achieve this step, it may not take one or two years, it may take five or six years, or even more than ten years.

If this happens, a lot of strategic opportunities will be missed.

Moreover, he may not have such a long development period.

Once the size reaches a certain level, it cannot be hidden. If the trade routes are always blocked, it will be very difficult strategically.

After thinking for a while, Rosen continued to ask: "When is the next Tide Festival?"

"My wife said, in a month."

"What do you think of the Banshee Queen's personality?"

Frodo said: "I have asked many witches about this."

"They all said that the Banshee King was a kind and humble king."

"She taught the banshees to keep a low profile and keep their presence as low as possible to avoid attracting the prying eyes of the people on the land."

Rosen smiled and said, "Obviously, the banshees did not obey her orders."

Today's banshees are not low-key at all, and the banshee trade is extremely hot.

Frodo spread his hands and said, "After all, life in the sea is hard, and everyone wants to live a good life, and the witch is no exception."

Rosen nodded in agreement.

In other words, as long as he, the land lord, maintains his current open-minded attitude and continues to maintain trade, he will be able to capture the hearts of the banshees little by little and make the Banshee King a lonely king.

So the Banshee Queen is useless? No, it is useful, and very useful.

Because traditional changes take time, especially this kind of bottom-up change, which requires perseverance and hard work.

Given a few years, Rosen would definitely win without a fight.

But what he lacks right now is time.

If we can reach a direct cooperation with the Banshee Queen and start changes from top to bottom, not only will the speed be greatly increased, but we can also gain a group of powerful maritime allies.

Moreover, Rosen felt that the Banshee Queen probably knew how to pass through the deep sea safely and quickly.

Because in ancient mythology, banshees are the rulers of the deep sea, and the triangular sea area cannot be considered a deep sea.

But is it possible to reach a cooperation with the Banshee Queen?

Rosen turned his head and looked at the blue sea, with many thoughts in his mind.

"It seems that we have to take a risk."

Some things can be stable, such as the previous conquest of the island rebels, because he has absolute initiative.

Some things require fighting, because strategic opportunities are fleeting.

Today we will conquer the Banshee, oh no, the triangular sea area.
