Chapter 449: 238: Ji Min, surround and kill Turing Chen!_2

Yao Xing said, "Of course, with such a high spiritual talent, no matter what swordsmanship you learn, you’ll achieve twice the results with half the effort."

After sailing for five days, the Queen’s Island Fleet replenished sufficient freshwater from an island, and then continued to sail towards the sea region of Tianshui City.

"In about three days, we should be able to reach the sea region around Tianshui City," Yanchuo’er (Queen) said.

Suo Lun nodded and said, "Aunt, with the current strength of our Queen’s Island Fleet, how many times our enemy can we defeat?"

Yanchuo’er said, "It depends on the strength of the opponents?"

Suo Lun said, "Take the Hai Family of Yingzhou for example."

Yanchuo’er said, "The Hai Family from Yingzhou descended from the Rock Pirates, but there are not many of the original Rock people left in the fleet, and they have been assimilated for a long time. Against one and a half times the naval forces of Yingzhou, we could win."

Suo Lun said, "So you’re saying, our seven thousand Rock Pirates could withstand ten thousand of Yingzhou’s naval forces."

"Correct," Yanchuo’er said. "How many enemies are we about to face?"

Suo Lun said, "Sixty thousand naval forces, six hundred swift warships, and a hundred and ten thousand troops."

Yanchuo’er said, "Which means, ten times my strength?"

Suo Lun nodded and said, "Correct."

Yanchuo’er asked, "How many ships does the original Suo naval forces have?"

Suo Lun said, "A few dozen tower ships, not very fast, the actual naval force doesn’t exceed a thousand."

Yanchuo’er said, "We can’t win, absolutely can’t win. With a strength comparison of one to ten, without a miracle happening, there’s no way to win."

Taking a deep breath, Suo Lun agreed with Queen Yanchuo’er.

Purely by naval forces, seven thousand against sixty thousand, even if the Rock Pirates are incredibly strong, they absolutely can’t win.

...

At this moment, Lord Tuli Yun personally led five thousand naval forces and several dozen warships, disguising themselves as pirates and had already entered the sea region near Tianshui City for a full five days.

During these five days, they had searched countless islands and found absolutely nothing.

Of course, it wasn’t completely fruitless. On many islands, they discovered secret fortresses and secret caves, among other things.

At first, they were ecstatic, thinking they had found the secret base of the Magic Mirror. However, after thorough investigation, they realized that it was all just a ruse.

Frustrated, the two of them continued to search from island to island, but still came up empty-handed.

Tuli Yun said, "Given Suo Lun’s character, he would be extremely cautious in his actions, and he might not even set up the Magic Mirror base on one of the islands in the Tianshui City sea region. It may even be on an offshore island."

Turing Chen said, "If that’s the case, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack, with countless islands in this vast sea."

Tuli Yun said, "Unless we capture one of their supply ships."

Indeed, aside from a few people, only those on the supply ships knew the exact location of the Magic Mirror secret base.

However, the sailors and samurai on the supply ships were only a few dozen in number.

And these few dozen people could mostly only stay on an island, not setting foot on the mainland. In exchange, they could earn ten times their normal salary, allowing their families to live comfortably.

Moreover, they themselves had no idea what their ships were transporting or what the specific island they were heading to was for. They knew nothing at all.

"City Lord, a ship has appeared in the southwest region," suddenly, someone reported to Tuli Yun.

Tuli Yun asked, "Are there any secret signs, like those from Linhai City, or from Yingzhou Island?"

"None," the sailor said. "No signs at all."

Turing Chen said, "It’s very likely a supply ship from Tian Shui City heading to the Magic Mirror Secret Island."

Tuli Yun ordered, "All ships, form a surrounding formation and capture that ship."

"Yes," immediately, the Luan Yang City Fleet, disguised as pirates, with several dozen ships, began to surround the target ship.

...

This was indeed a supply ship from Tian Shui City, providing a large amount of food, meat, and most importantly, materials such as mercury for the Magic Mirror Secret Island.

Moreover, Yan Nai’er was in charge of escorting these materials.

Her military duties were heavy, and normally Ye Jingyu would be responsible for escorting supplies.

However, this time not only did she need to escort the supplies, but most importantly, she had to visit the pirate port to inquire about Suo Lun’s whereabouts.

Because Suo Lun had been missing without a trace for more than a month already.

The atmosphere in the City Lord’s mansion had become extremely tense.

Despite Suo Lun’s repeated instructions not to look for him, Yan Nai’er couldn’t help herself and decided to personally search for traces of Suo Lun.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Nai’er looked out at the vast sea water, forcibly suppressing the dizziness in her head, her heart filled with worry and unease.

She was a bit seasick but insisted on going out to sea.

"Madam, don’t worry too much, the master must be fine," Ye Jingyu consoled her at her side.

Nai’er gave Ye Jingyu a forced smile.

Just at that moment, a sailor came forward in alarm and said, "Madam, a large group of pirates has appeared behind us."

Nai’er lightly leapt up to the tall mast and indeed saw that several dozen ships were closing in from several tens of kilometers away behind them.

"Full speed ahead," Nai’er ordered loudly.

Then, the supply ship immediately changed its course, sailing directly downwind, and the crew rowed desperately, trying to reach the fastest speed possible.

Despite this, being a supply ship loaded with cargo, its draft was severe.

"Throw all the food and meat overboard," Nai’er commanded.

Instantly, the crew, aside from those rowing, threw everything on board into the sea and fled at full speed toward the east.

But even so, Nai’er’s ship, being a cargo ship, still couldn’t pick up speed.
