Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

The enormous ship hovered in the air.

Isn't this the ship of that rebellious lord?
But... how could it suddenly appear above my head?

Russell was utterly shocked.

More importantly, at this very moment, the other side should have been fighting against the leader of the Moore team.

At that moment, a stone platform suddenly appeared not far in front of him, followed by a figure appearing instantly.

The person who appeared was, just as Lord Russell had expected, the young man he had seen less than half an hour earlier.

Seeing the young man walking towards him step by step, Russell couldn't help but speak first.

"You...why are you here?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wang, who was walking towards Russell, chuckled.

"As I said before, I will visit your dock after the battle is over."

"Is there a problem with coming here now to do what I said?"

Russell was momentarily speechless.

He naturally remembered that the other party had said those words not long ago, and he also knew that the other party would definitely come to the dock.

But... but it shouldn't be this fast.

"Where is Captain Moore? Where is the Pisces Alliance fleet?"

Russell once again voiced his doubts.

Su Wang patiently answered.

"The fact that I was able to come here means the battle is over."

"I think you understand what it means for the battle to end."
The team leader you mentioned, Moore, has already paid the most precious price for his blind loyalty.

Upon hearing this, Lord Russell fell completely silent.

He didn't understand what "the end of the battle" meant.

That means the Pisces Alliance fleet has been defeated, utterly defeated, and may even have sunk completely.

Given Moore's recent attitude, the possibility of surrendering is very low.

However, what he didn't understand was how the Pisces Alliance fleet could have been defeated so quickly.

Judging from the time estimate, the actual combat probably lasted less than 5 minutes, and most likely even less.

However, in such a short time, a fleet of 6 extraordinary warships was defeated.

And the fleet of this rebel lord, which we just saw, was no more than a thousand ships.

If you can end a battle against an opponent who outnumbers you six to one in such a short time, what level of strength must that enemy fleet have?

The more Lord Russell thought about it, the more terrified he became.

But in any case, the victor has already appeared, and they have all come to him.

Lord Russell suppressed his fear and spoke with difficulty.

"What...what do you want Ice Shark Wharf to do?"

"Even if I have to give up Ice Shark Pier, I don't care, but please don't harm the residents on the pier."

Hearing the change in how the other person addressed him, Su Wang smiled with delight.

"Don't worry, you can still be your lord, but leave the Pisces Alliance and lead the docks to join my alliance."

...

Ten minutes later, the Heart of the Dead had rejoined the fleet.

The Lord of Ice Shark Wharf was also pragmatic and chose to join the Clean World Alliance.

It was regrettable that they couldn't recruit another extraordinary fleet during this operation, but Su Wang was somewhat prepared for it.

After all, the main reason they were able to incorporate Bart's fleet was that the No. 78 Merchant Alliance Wharf had already fallen.

Without the Merchant Alliance docks, Bart's fleet was essentially without roots.

The difficulty of recruiting a team without roots is naturally reduced.

The fleet leader was a blindly loyal man, and since the merchant alliance's docks were still intact, there was nothing that could be done about their refusal to surrender.

End this operation

Su Wang immediately prepared to move his troops back to the capital.

The area around Fool's Wharf has been conquered, and a fleet of 6 extraordinary ships has been incorporated into the fleet.

The conditions for changing the conquest mode have now been met.

Su Wang decided to return to Fool's Wharf and develop a new expansion and conquest model to accelerate the conquest process.

At the same time, the remediation of polluted sea areas must be accelerated.

After returning to Fool's Wharf,

Su Wang directly gathered all the leisure fishermen at the dock.

Together with Elf, they spent the night discussing and came up with a plan for conquest.

It is divided into two parts.
The first part is the conquering army, whose core consists of a 3-ship air and sea fleet.

A captain was appointed to lead the Fool's Wharf, and the team was divided into six squads to serve as the spearhead of the attack.

Its purpose is to deal with those stubborn local docks, and to be deployed when encountering the forces under the Pisces King.

Bart's fleet of 6 extraordinary ships was also divided into 6 squadrons, which worked together with the air and sea fleets to carry out the conquest mission.

Each fleet consists of 5 air and sea warships and 1 extraordinary warships.
In terms of sheer presence, it's enough to intimidate any local pier except for those directly under the Pisces King's control.

Su Wangjun will replace the quantum turbines on these ships to achieve terrifying maneuverability.

This facilitates saving time during the journey to the discovery port.

The other part was led by Elf.
They formed a resource-collecting alliance with leisure fishermen who disliked war.

Su Wang also equipped it with a quantum turbine to increase the efficiency of resource aggregation.

Furthermore, Su Wang also decided to follow the Pisces Alliance's plan and establish a business alliance dock at intervals along the sea.

Each merchant alliance terminal is responsible for more than a hundred nearby local terminals to reduce the pressure on the main merchant alliance fleet.

This will inevitably require more manpower, at least more fishermen with fish holds will need to be added.

Su Wang also had a solution to this.

After all, as the conquest of the docks progressed, many fishermen from other local docks had already been discovered.

During this period, most ambitious fishermen had already left their local docks to start their own businesses.

Those who remained at the local docks were mostly fishermen who disliked war or had little ambition.

Incorporating them will increase the number of fishermen in the merchant alliance.

As the expeditionary fleet conquers more and more local ports, resources increase and manpower also increases, eventually creating a snowball effect.

With this plan in place,
Su Wang can now largely delegate the responsibility for issues in the rear sea areas, no longer needing to handle them personally, thus freeing up a great deal of his time.

What we need to be careful about is the Pisces King's counterattack.

However, in Su Wang's eyes at the moment, Pisces King is nothing more than a clown and poses no threat whatsoever.

He was spared only to stabilize the situation.

When the tide has turned and there is no longer any fear of unrest at the local port, it will be time for Pisces King to exit the stage of history.

...

Going forward, Su Wang will focus his attention on the polluted sea areas.

The priority is to speed up the process of cleaning up the polluted dock.

After these days of accumulation, the Fool's Alliance has gathered enough reputation to upgrade and has reached level 8.

The number of alliance docks that can be recruited has increased from 1 to 3.

With ample resources backing him up, Su Wang went to the Fishermen's Exchange Area without hesitation and recruited another 2 Alliance Wharves.

With Su Wang providing the Seven-Colored Fish Pearls to summon the Seven-Colored Sacred Fish twice, Cao Ge and the others would hold a Sacred Fish Feast every other day.

Although Su Wang was too busy to participate,

However, with many people possessing extraordinary fishing gear, and with the participation of the Sage Old Cao, they still managed to win every Sacred Fish Feast. Without exception, Old Cao took first place, and afterwards, he initiated the Sacred Fish Feasts himself, without Su Wang's intervention.

The numerous sacred fish feasts made the fishermen extremely wealthy.

The newly recruited fisher lords within the alliance,
Almost every recruit exchanged for an average of about 5 warship cores with Su Wang.

Under Su Wang's arrangement and scheduling, the ship's medicine was also borrowed from each other.

In less than three days, a fleet of ships numbering in the millions appeared in the polluted waters.

This is still limited by the insufficient supply of medicine for the boatmen; otherwise, given the current wealth of the fishermen, it wouldn't be a problem to double or triple the number of boats.

At this point, the role of the fishermen gradually became apparent.

If it weren't for so many fishermen...
While it wouldn't be difficult for Su Wangxiang to assemble such a large army in a short period of time, the effort required for its deployment and training would be immense.

With the fishermen sharing the effort themselves,

Su Wang only needs to provide warship cores, equipment cores, and shipmaster potions to quickly assemble a large fleet.

With a large fleet base,

The defensive pressure on polluted waters has been greatly reduced, and even the attacking polluter fleets are being fought over, resulting in a situation where there are too many boats and not enough boats.

The solution is simple: expand the area of ​​marine cleanup and extend the defenses that need to be countered.

This is something that Su Wang himself needs to do, and it is also his current top priority.

The task of having fishermen help collect the core of the purified spring has already shown initial success.

Su Wang established purification springs at many docks, and even built 30 at Fool's Dock.

With the help of the sacred monument, these purification sources can reach the extraordinary level as soon as they are established.

Only three of the Holy Springs are located at Fool's Wharf.

The local fishing fleet has also expanded to 300 vessels thanks to the Holy Spring.

Everything is progressing smoothly and in a favorable direction.

Over the next 10 days,

Su Wang, in coordination with the expanded Fool's Alliance, greatly accelerated the attack on the polluted dock.

When busy, Su Wang sometimes has to travel back and forth between more than a dozen polluted docks in a single day to carry out purification.

In the past 10 days, the number of cleaned docks has increased rapidly from the original 6 to nearly 200.

Nearly 3 more local ports were conquered in the rear.

Both aspects of development have entered a phase of rapid growth.

This gave Su Wang hope that he could penetrate the deeply polluted sea area within six months.

...

Inside the Pisces Palace,
The Pisces King was throwing a tantrum at a group of powerful ministers.

"What are you all good for?!"

"In less than half a month, the alliance lost 417 docks, and recently it has been losing dozens every day."

"Tell me! Why did these docks withdraw from the alliance!"

The powerful ministers gathered in the palace hall trembled with fear, feeling the fury emanating from the man on the throne.

As the president of the business alliance and the general manager of the Extraordinary Fleet, Durant's mouth tasted frighteningly bitter.

He could sense that the Pisces King's anger was mostly directed at him, and his gaze was fixed on him.

But what could he do?

He has already dispatched the fleet to attack the rebels, as ordered by the king.

But in just half a month,

Instead of hearing any news about the suppression of the rebels, they received nine reports of the Merchant Alliance docks being occupied, and the number of supernatural ships that had lost contact was as high as 70,000.

It's obvious that the supernatural fleet that lost contact was most likely wiped out by the rebels.

Few messages came back; only a small number of special ships sent by the enemy had utterly crushed our fleet.

Durant has gathered as much power as possible in an effort to build a massive fleet of extraordinary ships.

However, the distance between the various merchant alliance docks makes this operation extremely difficult and requires a lot of time for scheduling.

However, the rebel fleet acted very strangely, as if it were omnipresent.

I received news this morning that the Merchant Alliance dock had been attacked, and less than half a day later, I received the same news at the Merchant Alliance dock thousands of nautical miles away.

How was he supposed to manage the fleet?
If it weren't for the fact that the person sitting on the throne was someone he dared not disobey, Durant would have wanted to compile a battle report and throw it in his face right now.

He yelled, "If you're so good, then you do it!"

At this moment, the Pisces King seemed to have vented his anger, and his voice was no longer as impatient as before.

"Durant, you have disappointed me greatly."

Upon hearing this, Durant could only lower his head deeply and remain silent.

There's no other reason than that I can't explain it.

The Pisces King immediately gave the order.

"Since the border fleet cannot stop the rebels' expansion, then the capital fleet will set out."

"How can we allow a mere rebellious lord to run rampant?"

"Immediately dispatch 100 million royal ships to the capital, and gather 500 million ships from various surrounding docks."

"Within a month and a half, I want to see that rebel lord's head placed before me. If you can't do that, Durant, you don't need to come see me again!"

Upon hearing this, Durant's body trembled violently, and he spoke with difficulty.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

...

After leaving the royal palace, Durant took a deep breath, trying to wash away the bitterness in his mouth.

A month and a half?
It would take a week just to move troops from the capital, and it would take at least half a month to sail to the area where the rebels were causing trouble without stopping.

Currently, that area of ​​sea has been largely occupied by the rebels.
Attacking the rebel lord's dock requires taking it back step by step after retaking the occupied dock.

How can such a short time be enough?!
Durant really wanted to roar out loud to vent his frustration.

Unfortunately, he could only hold back at this moment and hurried to the mansion to arrange the fleet's dispatch orders.

With limited time available, there's no room for wasting time.

...

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two weeks, Su Wang has added several new tasks to his work.

One of them was the placement of the temple.

Besides the Fishing Temple, the Fish Gun Temples produced by Cao Ge also began to be scattered and placed.

Not only were the docks purified in polluted sea areas, but the local docks that had been conquered in the local sea areas were also taken over by the Clean World Alliance.

Currently, there are two temples standing on almost every pier.

As the purifier of the polluted dock, Su Wang has an uncountable number of followers.

Although the difficulty of upgrading a vehicle increases exponentially with each 10% increase in vehicle soulification.

With an extremely abundant supply of faith fuel, it has now exceeded 90%.

It shouldn't take more than a few days to reach 100%.

"I wonder what the purpose of this vehicle soulification is. Perhaps it's related to the next level of vehicle upgrades?"

Su Wang couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Although its current strength is unmatched, its exploration of deeply polluted sea areas is still insufficient.

No one can determine exactly what it is, but it's always a good thing to further improve one's strength.
