Magic Industry Empire - 737. Chapter 737

The days of building an island base steadily did not last forever. The incident finally appeared three days after the departure of the large cargo magic ship led by Nevar.

“Master Leslie, I found the Candela Empire fleet ten kilometers northwest of here. Judging from the direction, it should be coming towards this side.”

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Leslie thought about it briefly, and did nothing else. He just made all the ships of the frigate ready for the battle, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Candela Empire fleet.

This is a situation that has long been expected.

They must have been operating in the southern waters of the Candela Empire. If so many days, the Candela Imperial Navy still has not received any news and made any response, it can only prove that the Candela Imperial Navy has nothing to worry about.

Facts have proved that although their response was still slightly slow, they still made the expected response after all.

For the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, to successfully gain a foothold in this sea area, it must face the Candela Imperial Navy head-on.

The frigate can run away, but the island cannot.

About half an hour later, the fleet with the temperament of the Candela Empire appeared on the northwest sea.

The first time he saw this fleet, the big stone in Leslie’s heart was immediately let go.

This fleet has only more than 30 ships at a glance, and only two Thunder-class royal warships, which is worse than the third fleet encountered by the New Flying Merchants Association’s frigate when it first came into contact with the Candela Empire Royal Fleet. Too much.

The Candela Imperial Navy had clearly received the news, and had a certain understanding of the strength of the New Flying Merchants Association’s frigate, but only sent so few fleets. Then unless their commander is an idiot, it is definitely not a pre-preparation. Came to clash with the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Sure enough, when Leslie let them approach, the entire Candela Imperial Navy fleet stopped one kilometer away from the new Flying Chamber of Commerce escort fleet, and only the Royal Thunder-class warship at the front came over.

As this Royal Thunder-class warship approached, it waved its flag to this side through the observation deck on the upper mast.

Although the semaphore of each area of the endless sea is slightly different, there are some semaphores that are common.

For example, the semaphore played by this Thunder-class royal warship is very simple and clear, that is, showing peace and friendship, indicating that there is no doubt that there is a conflict.

Leslie put down the binoculars and ordered the flagship under him to greet him.

The two ships approached side by side in the waters between the two fleets, and the sides of the ships were parallel to each other.

Leslie came to the side of the ship, glanced across, and saw a middle-aged man in the uniform of an officer of the Royal Navy of the Candela Empire looking over.

The two made eye contact, and Leslie saw the middle-aged man with a smile and soft eyes, apparently without any hostility, so he relaxed.

“If you guessed it right, this should be Leslie, commander of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce’s escort fleet, right?”

The distance between the two boats was even less than 20 meters. The middle-aged man only raised his voice slightly, and Leslie could hear him clearly.

Leslie was startled slightly, but he didn’t expect the other party to recognize him at a glance.

It can be seen that the other party is also prepared, and must have done some investigation and study on the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

“Yes, this is Leslie. May I ask who is the Lord of the Candela Empire Navy Fleet on the opposite side?”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: “This is Remito Russell. I think Lord Leslie should have heard of my name from President Xu.”

Leslie couldn’t help but relax.

Of course he heard Xu Yi mention the name.

Remito Russell is the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Candela Imperial Naval Staff. He is an out-and-out big figure in the Candela Imperial Navy. He is much higher than the deputy commander of the Third Fleet that he encountered before.

Leslie didn’t expect that this time the big man would come all the way from the mainland of the Candela Empire.

“Master Russell, it’s a great honor to meet you. The President reminded me that you mentioned your name to me, and said that you are a good friend of our New Flying Business Association. Hello.”

Russell narrowed his eyes slightly, and a thought-provoking smile crossed his face.

Xu Yi asked Leslie to say hello to himself on his behalf?

Could it be said that he knew that he would come to the new flying chamber of commerce to escort the fleet?

“Hehe, President Xu is polite. I went to your New Flying Business Association to meet with President Xu, and we had a very good chat. I am very interested in your New Flying Business Association frigate, and now I heard about your New Flying Business Association frigate. It seems that I am doing something here, and I can’t help but feel curiosity in my heart and want to take a look. Leslie-sama, don’t you think I’m abrupt?”

Leslie laughed loudly: “Of course not. It is an honor for me to get the attention of Lord Russell. Lord Russell, if you are really interested, you might as well go to the island ahead with us now. Can you see what we are doing?”

Russell was stunned again, unexpectedly Leslie would take the initiative to take himself so generously.

After hesitating for a while, he was not polite, nodded to signal Leslie to lead the way, and then only took him down on the Thunder-class royal warship and sailed to the pirates in the distance with the flagship under Leslie’s seat.

In just a few days, nothing decent was built on the island except for some simple huts for residents.

But when Russell asked about it, Leslie made it clear to Russell that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce plans to develop the island.

“Look, Lord Russell, our Chamber of Commerce will first build a deep-water wharf here, so that our convoy fleet can rest here in the future. At the same time, it is also convenient for the transportation of various materials from the Chamber of Commerce.”

“Well, if you want to do something on this island, a pier is indispensable. But Master Leslie, given the size of the frigate and transport ship of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the size of this pier is probably not too small. Right.” Russell nodded.

Leslie glanced at Russell and saw that there was no strange expression on his face, as if he was having a very normal conversation with himself.

This makes him a little strange.

It is said that this sea area is south of the Candela Empire. For the Candela Empire, which has always regarded itself as a great empire, it has always regarded this sea area as its own back garden.

Now the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is coming here, intending to occupy this island. With the consistent style of the Candela Empire, it is obvious that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce should be driven away directly.

But this Russell didn’t mean anything like that, as if he had acquiesced to the actions of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Thinking of this, Leslie couldn’t help but wonder in secret.

No wonder Xu Yi is very confident and boldly preparing to develop the islands in this sea area. Could it be that when he met Russell last time, he had actually reached an agreement secretly?

But if this is the case, why didn’t he tell himself?

There are not many things on the island, so naturally there is nothing to see. In less than half an hour, Russell has finished his tour on the island and listened to Leslie’s explanation.

But of course Russell didn’t just turn around and leave like that. After chatting with Leslie for a few words, he winked at the entourage around him, and the entourage walked away.

Leslie knew immediately, and wanted to nod his head beside him.

After all his subordinates left, Russell looked at Leslie again, pondered for a moment, and said with a serious face: “Master Leslie, everyone is sensible, so I don’t talk nonsense. I’m here this time, in fact, I’m here to find you new The Flying Chamber of Commerce escort the fleet to help.”

“Help?” Leslie was slightly surprised. “Master Russell, please tell me. If there is a place that can be used for our frigate, we will do our best.”

Russell nodded and continued: “According to various sources of intelligence, your New Flying Merchants Association’s frigate is extremely powerful at sea, and it happens that our Imperial Navy is currently…well, we have encountered a little difficulty, and we need some manpower to help. If If you are willing to help, on behalf of the Imperial Navy, I can give you a certain degree of autonomy for the new flying chamber of commerce escort fleet in this area. For example, this island, I can assume that I don’t know, do you understand what I mean?”

Leslie gave Russell a deep look, and didn’t rush to answer.

He didn’t believe that the Candela Imperial Navy would encounter any difficulties that could not be solved, and he needed to run to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce frigate for help.

Although the combat effectiveness of the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is indeed excellent, with the powerful strength of the Candela Imperial Navy, what difficulties can it not solve in this sea area?

However, Russell called for the help of the new flying chamber of commerce escort fleet, and even put forward a very tempting condition, which is a bit intriguing.

After serious consideration for a while, Leslie thought of the few words Xu Yi had mentioned in the previous letter, and made up his mind.

“Master Russell, what kind of help do you need from us?” Leslie asked.

“Uh…According to the latest information we have obtained, many pirate groups have sprung up in the nearby waters. It is said that they have all flown from the east waters. Our naval fleet has been somewhat…difficult recently. Dealing with these pirates is a bit tricky. They are all eliminated, so you need to use the power of your new flying business association frigate. As far as I know, your new flying business association frigate has always spared no effort in fighting pirates. I think we should have the possibility of working together in this regard.” Russell Explained.

“Cooperate to fight pirates?” Leslie was a little surprised, but was relieved after another thought.

That’s right. If it weren’t for cooperating against pirates, why would the powerful Candela Imperial Navy come to cooperate with a frigate of a chamber of commerce?

After thinking for a while, Leslie nodded and said, “Okay. Lord Russell, on behalf of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce frigate, I expressed my willingness to cooperate with the Imperial Navy to combat pirates in nearby waters and contribute to the restoration of peace in this waters. Meager power.”

Russell smiled and nodded, but his eyes turned to the new Flying Merchant Guild frigate that was parked on the sea outside the pirates, and his eyes flashed, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
