Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 121 The First Batch of Supplies Arrives
He drove back the fleet that came to search for Thea,
Su Wang left part of the fleet for patrol and led the rest back to port.

The reason why he dared to confront the Horned Eel Family was that he had already made some calculations in his mind.

According to the time estimate,

It would take an ordinary fleet at least 5 to 6 days to get from the Golden Crocodile Wharf to the Fool's Wharf.

By then, the marine relic had been restored to a usable state.

If the other party dares to send a large fleet over, Su Wang doesn't mind making them never return.

Moreover, there is Carol, an extraordinary sea warrior, and the trump card of Fool's Wharf will definitely be beyond the opponent's expectations.

If the other party does not come, Su Wang also decided to lead the fleet to "visit" them.

These few days are enough time for the first batch of supplies to be delivered to the three trading ports.

After obtaining the first batch of supplies, the problem of the Fool's Wharf fleet having no weapons on board can also be solved.

A subsequent dock expansion will be carried out, and the resources obtained should be able to expand the fleet to around 300 ships.

A fleet of 300 mutual aid vessels, enhanced by several special onboard facilities.

The strength it exerted was already comparable to an ordinary fleet of about a thousand ships.

It is certainly not enough to destroy the horned eel family, but this strength is enough to seek justice.

Su Wang privately communicated with Tia and learned that

The reason why she was forced to leave the Horned Eel Family was that before the dispute over the head of the family, her brother won over another heir to the head of the Stingray Family at the Golden Crocodile Wharf.

This also resulted in the previous head of the Horned Eel family selecting her brother as the heir to the Source of Supernatural Powers before the ceremony for the family headship competition was even held.

In terms of methods, Tia's brother is obviously much more mature than Tia.

Unfortunately, Su Wang set his sights on the Horned Eel family and wanted to swallow them into the Fool's Wharf.

Since Tia's brother can win over another family heir, it is "reasonable" for Tia to win over a dock lord.

According to Tia, there are about 6 ships stationed at the Golden Crocodile Wharf.

The Golden Crocodile Family occupied half of it, and the other half was divided among the other two families.

If the Golden Crocodile Family does not get involved,
Even if the other family supports Tia's brother, it is impossible for them to put all their family's fighting power into it.

The fleet strength that needs to be dealt with is at most around 2,000 ships.

Besides, Su Wang had no intention of declaring war on the Horned Eel Family directly, but instead asked the Horned Eel Family to carry out the normal ceremony of the battle for the head of the family.

Whether or not the Horned Eel Family can be taken over by then depends on Tia’s performance.

However, as long as he gets the opportunity to compete, Su Wang believes that with his help, it should be no problem to help Tia deal with her brother.

...

Time quickly arrived and it was the fourth day that the Wangxin returned to the dock.

In the past two days, Su Wang basically stayed at the dock, enjoying a leisurely and relaxing day.

The daily fishing of the fishing boat fleet, coupled with the rapid reproduction of the fish in the fish breeding lake.

The number of fish reserves in the fish breeding lake is increasing, reaching the point where thousands are added every day.

The fish breeding lake has reached its current level and has a certain production capacity.

Su Wang has started to extract 500 ordinary to black iron grade fish from the fish breeding lake every day, as well as 100 bronze fish that reproduce in smaller numbers.

In addition, Carol led the shark group to catch fish during the day and at night, and also harvested a large amount of fish and resources of various levels.

In this case,
Even if Su Wang did nothing every day, he was still able to bring in large quantities of fish, from ordinary to silver grade.

Two days later,

With the daily harvest plus the accumulated material inventory, the number of warships fully equipped with facilities reached 45, and the number of mutual aid fleets also increased to 230 ships.

There were also six new fishermen arriving at the dock.

Two days ago, Lao Cao and others spread the news of the appearance of the "bomber" to the fishermen's exchange area.

While causing a sensation, it also further encouraged the fishermen to go to Fool's Wharf.

And just today, Su Wang also received a notice through the sound transmission shell that the transport fleet of Yin Pomfret Wharf was about to arrive.

After receiving the notice, Su Wang
He asked Wang Meng to always pay attention to the lighthouse's sea area scanning, and notify him immediately when a large number of fleets were found entering the exploration area.

As it was approaching noon, Wang Meng brought the news of the fleet's appearance as promised.

As soon as he received the information, Su Wang gathered all the existing warships at Fool's Wharf, even the fisherman's vehicles were not spared.

Leading a fleet of more than 240 ships to greet the arrival of the other fleet.

Whether or not we can quickly obtain facility output resources depends on whether this transaction can proceed smoothly.

Therefore, Su Wang did not dare to be careless at all. He had to leave a certain impression of strength on the other party to show that Fool's Wharf had the foundation to make a deal.

Sailing in opposite directions, the fleet led by Su Wang soon discovered the traces of the transport fleet.

In terms of scale, the enemy fleet was escorted by nearly 500 warships and dozens of transport ships inside.

According to the previous agreement, the other party brought 350 large submachine guns for trading.

That is, three basic resources, bronze fish skin and fish scales, 700 million each, and bronze fish tendons and fish glue, 350 million each.

Such a huge amount of resources can only be stored in storage boxes and transported by transport ships.

The 500 warships are responsible for ensuring the safety of the transport ships.

The reason is that the mutual trade between the ports is not safe and unimpeded.

Not only do they have to deal with strange fish attacks at night, but they also have to worry about looting from fleets at other docks.

According to the regulations of the Dock Code,
If a trade fleet sails within safe waters, the port with jurisdiction over the safe waters is required to ensure the fleet's safety and can charge a certain escort fee. However, if the fleet is sunk or looted outside the jurisdiction of a port, the port code will not hold the ship responsible.

Therefore, there are also fleets at certain ports that do not mind acting as looters in secret when they discover a fleet with transport ships outside the port's jurisdiction.

As for choosing to pass through safe waters multiple times and pay "tolls",
Whether the fleet chooses to sail in lightly polluted waters for a long time to avoid "tolls" depends on its own route selection.

...

In the Silver Pomfret Wharf Fleet, Captain Du Lu, who was in charge of the transportation for this mission, was standing on the deck of the warship.

When they saw a fleet heading in the opposite direction led by a large silver-white ship, they immediately relaxed.

"We finally arrived safely."

After a while, the silver-white ship had docked near Du Lu's warship.

On the deck stood the extraordinary shipmaster whom I met last time.

When Du Lu saw it, he immediately greeted loudly and enthusiastically.

"Respected Master Super Ship Master, thank you for coming here to greet me personally."

Su Wang heard the other party's shout and recognized him. He was the captain of the Silver Pomfret Wharf fleet where he discussed the transaction last time.

"It's not hard. This transaction is related to the long-term trade needs of both ports. I came here in person to show my sincerity."

"Now that you have entered the waters under the jurisdiction of Fool's Wharf, follow me to the dock."

After saying that, Su Wang took the lead in leading the team to turn around and lead the transport fleet from Silver Pomfret Wharf towards Fool's Wharf.

On the way, Du Lu steered his ship away from the fleet and came to a position parallel to the Death Heart.

When Su Wang looked over, Du Lu spoke first.

"Master Superb Shipmaster, the supplies are almost here. The Lord of Silver Pomfret Wharf has already drawn up a bounty mission."

"Do you think you can accept the mission?"

"If it's convenient, let's organize a transport fleet to transport the goods today."

"It just so happens that we also need to return. We can escort the cargo back with your fleet, which can also further ensure safety."

When Su Wang heard what Du Lu said, he immediately responded with a chuckle.

"Mr. Dulu is too impatient. Once the supplies are counted at the dock, we will naturally start producing the giant cannon."

"As for bounty missions, Fool's Wharf will also accept them."

“However, the delivery time may be delayed for a while.
There are still some things that need to be handled at the port, so I'm afraid we won't be able to transport cargo in the short term."

Hearing this, Du Lu immediately looked anxious.

"Master Superb Shipmaster, how long will this take?"

"You didn't say that during our previous discussion."

Su Wang pondered for a few seconds before soothing him.

"To be honest, the dock where this transaction is taking place is a newly expanded dock from my original dock."

“However, I didn’t expect that there was a problem at the original dock recently, requiring me to send a fleet back for support.

Therefore, until the main fleet returns, it will probably be impossible to form a transport fleet."

"But if you're worried, I can let you bring back 350 cannons on your own this time. What do you think?"

This was the first trade, and the trust between the two sides had not yet been established.

Therefore, it is normal for the other party to be worried.

Su Wang promised the other party to take back 350 cannons on his own, which was exactly the number that could be purchased with the supplies brought this time.

In this way, even if there is no subsequent transaction, the other party's terminal will not lose anything.

as predicted,

After hearing this, the anxiety on Du Lu's face obviously dissipated a lot, and he also realized Su Wang's identity.

"So you're the Lord of the Dockyard. I was so disrespectful earlier. Given this situation, it's understandable that we need to delay a little."

"Then let's do as you say. If I can bring back 350 cannons, I can report to my lord."

Seeing his reaction, Su Wang nodded with satisfaction.

His remarks explained the lack of ships at the Fool's Wharf and its overly simple conditions.

It can also be revealed that behind the Fool's Wharf there is a stronger and longer-developed original wharf.

And it is enough to fool people and delay for a certain period of time until the arrival of the other two teams of dock supply fleets.

After all, the supplies transported from one dock alone cannot make up the production of 1 cannons.

When the transport fleet from the Silver Pomfret Pier arrived near the Fool's Pier,

Truth was indeed not surprised by the emptiness of Fool's Wharf.

With the previous explanation,
In Dulu's opinion, most of the fleet at this dock had been sent to their original dock for support, so it was understandable that there were not many fleets stationed at the dock.

The unloading of supplies from the transport ship began very smoothly and was unloaded onto the Fool's Wharf Port.

Su Wang also organized some residents to use handcarts to transport boxes of supplies to the core area of ​​the dock.

On Du Lu's side, Su Wang asked him to wait for a while at the dock on the grounds that it would take some time to load the giant cannon into the storage box.
