After a night of passion, Yang Ling hugged the beautiful Sophia and slept well, only waking up late in the morning. After waking up, he summoned people like Goode and Ashnamov to assemble in the discussion room, and announced that he was going to pick a day for setting sail, to destroy the pirates, set up the sea routes from the Magical Beasts Realm to other human cities, and explore the overseas islands and resources.
After the meeting, the people started to take action.
Goode prepared the resources and manpower needed for the trip, Master Aaron and the Gnome Elder made use of the time they had to make a giant crossbow that they could install on the ship; Viola handed out missions to organize the Hunters to explore the overseas islands and resources in order to provide intelligence for the army, and Ashnamov made use of this time to train the soldiers, and sent out many scouts to find out the movements of the pirates…
After the great triumph over the Golden Giant Dragon Ducasse, the prestige of Yang Ling the Lord, had reached a peak, reaffirming people’s confidence. Solving the crisis of the revenge seeking Druids, and resolving the conflict with the Troops Association, had also allowed the anxious people to breathe a sigh of relief.
It was once again popular for the merchants to invest in the Magical Beasts Realm. Merchant teams, investments and people kept coming, bringing a huge amount of funds and talents of all types. Wissen Town had officially upgraded to become Wissen City, and the facilities of Black Water City and Sallero Harbor were advancing by the day.


The use of the Teleportation Spell Formation not only linked Alla Mountain Pass, Sallero Harbor and the Magical Square Castle underground together, but also greatly promoted economic development.
With the payment of a certain number of Crystal Coins, the merchants, hunters, troops and tourists could use the Teleportation Formation to travel conveniently within the Magical Beasts Realm. Due to the management making peace and the clear segregation of missions, the Troops and Hunters no longer regarded each other as enemies, and were even working together.
With the announcement of the various missions, the Hunter Association would guide and encourage the Hunters to explore places like the Sotras Forest, the Underground City and overseas islands.
Hunters who discover large mines, big islands and unique resources get a substantial reward. The rewards attract more powerful people to join the Hunter Association. In turn, these powerful people could accomplish more difficult missions, and get a higher reward, and encourage more powerful people, warriors or spellcasters to join the Hunter Association!
In this way, it became a beneficial cycle before long.
After slightly more than two weeks, every thing was prepared, and Yang Ling officially led his army out to sea. There were more than 500 soldiers in total on three big boats. There might not be many people, but they were all the cream of the crop. In the army, were 40 strong Galapagos Tortoisemen and over a hundred Phythonmen. There were also over two hundred Frogmen who were able to move rapidly in the water and a few dozen Hunters who were experienced in going out on to sea
Under extreme conditions, every ship would be able to hold over 500 soldiers. The outer ship board was made into one big piece by joining the wood pieces together using the dovetailing wood joint. Every piece of wood was oak, about half a meter think. After painting it with a thick coat of wood paint, it was more durable and resistant to wear, and strong against rot.
Every ship also had a hard and strong naval ram, a Magic Crystal Canon fixed on the deck, to attack enemies head on. On the sides of each ship, were eight giant crossbow vehicles, capable of shooting crossbow arrows the width of a thigh. They could be used to attack from the sea, or low-flying targets.
The keel of the big ship extended outwards, with two sharp ends. There was a row of drainage holes on each side of the keel. Usually, when the ship moved using the sails, closing the holes would prevent water from coming in. During critical moments, the holes could be opened to allow soldiers to advance on rowing boats. On the high seas not only could the ships travel fast, they could also weather most storms. The ships were currently the most advanced big battleships on the Tailun Continent.
Apart from the three big ships, on the deck of every ship, there were a few dozen flat bottomed speedboats. Not only did it travel fast, it was also easy to use the waves to help push it onto the shore, suitable for going up river and going past reef zones. They were the most advanced speedboats on the Tailun Continent now.


Looking at the Sallero Harbor getting further away, Yang Ling was about to lean against the railings to enjoy the sea breeze, when a soldier hurriedly rushed over.
My Lord, we discovered on the boat…. Discovered another woman!

Another woman?
Could it be, that the little girl Alice had snuck on board?
Yang Ling frowned in puzzlement, and shook his head. Before setting sail, Orlando took some close guards to check every ship. It would be difficult for Alice to sneak on board.

Brother Yang, can it be Alice? I’ll go take a look!
After falling silent for a while, Yuna signaled the soldier who reported the incident to lead the way, striding forwards. Sophia, who was by his side, hesitated for a while, before following with big strides.

Hmhph, don’t follow me, I can walk on my own!
Yuna and Sophia had barely taken a few steps before the little devil Annie rushed onto the deck while talking, making funny faces at the people following not too far behind.
Annie?
Looking at the fearless Annie, and the Corpse Wizard King at the side, who had his face turned away, Yang Ling understood what was going on without putting in much thought.
It might be difficult for other people to sneak in, but with help from the Corpse Wizard King, an inside man, it was not impossible!

Uncle, you won’t tell my grandfather right? I’ve never seen the sea before. I’ll play a few days and go. Just a few days!
Opening her arms wide and enjoying the fresh sea breeze, Annie skipped to Yang Ling’s side in just a few steps.



Hehe, it’s okay. You can play for however long you like. Take it as I did not see anything!
Looking at the look of joy on the little she-devil, Yang Ling smiled evilly and said,
I heard that there are people in Bavaria who especially like to buy little girls like you and bring them home. Maybe we can sell you for a fortune when we are ashore!


Hmph, how dare you?
Annie obviously did not buy Yang Ling’s nonsense. Cocking her head and rolling her eyeballs, she asked in puzzlement,
What do those people do with the little girls they had bought at home? Could it be for them to be slaves?

What do they do with the little girls at home?
Looking at Annie, with a mature figure that could lead people into committing a crime, but emotionally far from maturity, Yang Ling shook his head. With such an unstable little she-devil at his side, he would be extremely worried.

Hehe, they can do whatever they want!

Yang Ling was a bit at a loss for words, but the Corpse Wizard King strode closer while talking. If they did not know that it was the way he was, the people would have thought that he was some eccentric uncle, or a perverted old man.
Howl…
Just as Annie and the Corpse Wizard King huddled close, hiding away at one side to discuss some prank, a dot appeared on the horizon, accompanied by a sharp screeching sound.

Aye, what is that?


Could it be the pirate’s sentry?



…
The black dot got closer and closer. As the people focused and looked at it, they realized it was a huge Lightning Bird. But it was odd that there was a silhouette of a person on the bird, directing it to rapidly approach the boat.

Quick, Gryphon Team take to the air. In the air, hurry!


Adjust the giant crossbows, level one alert, adjust the giant crossbows, quick!

…
Without needing the Great Commander Ashnamov’s instruction, the Captains of each ship commanded the soldiers to ready for battle. More than a dozen Hunters who were with the army rode on the Gryphons and took to the air, and the giant crossbows on every ship were tilted upwards, aiming at the Lightning Bird which was closing in. The arrowheads made of Star Metal gleamed black. Even the Golden Giant Dragon, with its so called strongest defense, did not dare take the arrows head on, much less a level eight Lightning Bird, which was strong on attacking but weak on defense.

Shh, Uncle Roke, just say you didn’t see anything. No, just say that before going out to sea, you saw me enter Terras Forest to go mushroom picking!
Just as everyone was looking at the Lightning Bird in puzzlement, Annie knew that Elder Berger, like a shadow, had followed her again. After giving a few instructions to Roke, she quickly went to find a place to hide.

Miss Annie, you also know how to pick mushrooms?
Yang Ling with his astonishing eyesight, quickly identified the person approaching. Seeing that the little she-devil was looking to hide, Yang Ling had a sudden thought and was prepared to hand over this piece of hot potato to Elder Berger for him to bring back.

Uncle, no, His Lordship, if you want to eat mushrooms, I’ll bring you along to pick them next time! Please let me pass, okay?
Seeing that Yang Ling had sneakily teleported over and blocked her way, Annie was so anxious that her face had turned red, and she almost bit Yang Ling in the shoulder.

There are many varieties of mushrooms, some that a person of your age will not be able to pull out!
Looking at the panicking little she-devil, Yang Ling smiled, thinking of a dirty joke he saw on the Internet, about a young lady who went into a forest to pick mushrooms, but no matter how she tried, the mushroom would not budge.



Hmph, if the mushroom cannot be pulled out, wouldn’t it solve the problem to just use a knife to cut it out?
Looking back to see Elder Berger coming closer, Annie was anxious and angry.
Cut the mushroom out?
Looking at Annie with the great figure, Yang Ling broke out in sweat. If any guy were to lay in the forest pretending to be a mushroom, and encountered this little devil, he would become a eunuch.

Uncle, if you were to reveal my hiding place, I will cut your share of the mushrooms into slices and eat them raw the next time we go into the forest to pick mushrooms!
the little she-devil said wittily in desperation, while nimbly jumping over the railing, and curling into a ball to hide in the gunwale.
Cut his mushroom into slices and eat them raw?
Looking at Annie who did not know what the so-called mushrooms actually meant, and as a child, whose words meant no harm, hiding fearlessly in the gunwale, Yang Ling shook his head. For safety’s sake, he was about to pull her out, when the anxious Elder Berger flew right above him.
My Lord, His Lordship, did you see our Miss Annie!


Elder Berger, come down, quickly come down!

Seeing the anxious Elder Berger, Yang Ling waved his hand to signal him to come down. He could not wait for Elder Berger to bring Annie, the mischievous little imp, away immediately.

Ah… Help!


Ah… sea snake, heavens, what a big sea snake!

…
In the instant that Yang Ling looked up at Elder Berger in midair, the little she-devil suddenly screamed. A soldier standing near her also started shouting shortly after. As everyone focused their attention, they saw that on the surface of the sea closest to the little she-devil, a giant, python-like sea snake suddenly appeared!
