Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 123 Air Raid Plan
After the 10 senior ship masters have completed their soul fusion,
Su Wang appointed these 10 senior captains as fleet captains.

He issued orders to three of the squad leaders.

Be sure to gather the existing mutual aid warships anchored at the dock within today to form 3 available teams with 80 medium-sized warships anchored.

They were also given two days to practice fleet formation drills and familiarize themselves with ship driving and combat methods.

As for the remaining battleships with "bombers",

Su Wang instructed them to be familiar with how to operate the "bomber" in combat, and the expenses would be covered free of charge by Fool's Wharf.

...

By the afternoon of the 6th day,

The supplies transported from the last Yanzhang Wharf have also arrived.

After Su Wang sent the other party away, he immediately used the excess supplies to build giant cannons and arm the empty warships.

By this time, the dock fleet had assembled a total of 1400 large submachine guns.

In addition to the 10 large warships, there are also 220 cooperative warships equipped with a large number of cannons.

Considering the subsequent transactions with the Horned Eel Family and the three docks,
Su Wang decided to expand the Level 3 dock tonight.

He called Cao Ge and announced that the red tide would be launched in the evening.

"Cao Ge, we're facing a red tide tonight. You'll be the one to tell the fishermen at the dock."

"The Crimson Tide doesn't ask them to make a big contribution this time. They just need to participate as much as possible while ensuring their own safety."

"At the end of the day, you can go to distant waters to salvage the fish.

But this time there is a requirement: half of the fish harvested must be handed over, and any unused resources can be handed over to the dock in exchange for a certain amount of merit points."

When Cao Ge heard that he had to face the red tide, he was naturally excited.

After all, he had gained a lot from the last red tide.

Although half of the harvest needs to be handed over this time, this situation of picking up a large amount of resources for free can only happen with the help of the dock.

Even if I could keep half of it, it would be a huge opportunity.

Afterwards, Su Wang summoned 10 captains of the fleet and informed them of how to deal with the red tide at night. He also asked them to lead the fleet into three teams to garrison the three ports.

While ensuring the safety of the ship, take the initiative to strike the red tide whenever possible.

As for the remaining side of the pier, it was left to the fisherman and Carol to guard.

Different from Cao Ge's excitement after hearing the red tide,
After hearing the news, several captains looked a little worried.

After all, they knew how terrible the red tide was, and there were only more than 200 ships in the fleet at the dock.

Seeing this, Su Wang also spoke to comfort her.

"You don't need to worry. This red tide is only at level 2. There shouldn't be any problems."

...

After the order was conveyed, all the combat forces in the entire dock began to mobilize in an orderly manner.

The residents on the dock also learned that they would face a red tide tonight.

For a time, there was a lot of private discussion among the dock residents.

The discussion was about whether the dock could survive the red tide.

After all, there are not many fleets visible at the dock, and not all of the murloc guards have appeared.

It is normal for residents living on the lower floors of the dock to have concerns.

At this time, Su Wang had already arrived at the lord's palace, preparing to upgrade the dock.

This upgrade and expansion of the dock requires 2 points of local reputation, 200 million each of three basic resources, and 50 Xirang.

Apart from the lack of local reputation points, the rest of the resources had been gathered as early as the end of the last red tide.

Su Wang checked the reserve of reputation stones in the fish hold and found that there were still 107 left.

50 of them were not used up after the last point redemption.
The remaining 57 were the proceeds of the gold-level monster fish caught during the last red tide, as well as the routine catches of the shark group led by Carol in recent days.

"The amount of reputation stones obtained is a bit too little." Su Wang couldn't help but ponder.

Add to that the 1 reputation gained from defeating the polluted White Shark Wharf last time,
This time, 2 reputation points are enough, but the next dock expansion will surely require more local reputation.

Including the remaining fishing activity points, only about a hundred reputation stones can be exchanged.

It may take a long time to gather the reputation required for the next dock expansion.

But there is nothing that can be done about it, after all, the number of gold-level fish in a body of water is very rare.

Carol has only caught dozens of sharks in the waters near the pier over the past few days while leading a group of sharks.

If you want to catch more golden fish,
Perhaps Carol should go further to the waters beyond for hunting.

Su Wang didn't think about it anymore and threw 100 reputation stones into the dock sand table.

The reputation stones disappeared one after another, and the local reputation of Fool's Wharf soon reached 2 points.

Su Wang immediately chose to expand and upgrade the dock.

[Fool's Wharf will expand in 3 hours and 58 minutes. A Category 2 red tide will occur, and sea cleansing capacity will be reduced for 1 hour.]

【Fool's Wharf.】

Occupation Lord: Su Wang.

Dock durability: 500 million/500 million, self-recovering 5 points per minute.

码头等级：3级码头，面积10000m*10000m，未展开（5000m*5000m）。

The next expansion requires 5000 local reputation points, 1000 million wood, steel, and blue fish coins, and 200 million Xirang.

Dock local reputation: 0 points. The port dock area is deepened, and the number of ships docked increases by 100%. The current number of ships that can dock is: 1200.

...

"The number of docks is sufficient for now."

Su Wang was quite delighted to see the number of docks after the expansion.

The main reason for the rush to expand the docks is that there are not enough docks.

Now the Level 3 dock can accommodate 1200 ships, so there is no need to worry about insufficient docks in the short term.

The terminal is currently waiting for expansion.
Su Wang took advantage of this time to summon the fishman guards at the Fish Soul Altar to establish a line of defense.

After this period of replacement, the Fish Soul Altar is equipped with 34 gold fish souls, 556 silver fish souls, and 210 bronze fish souls.

The number of murloc guards at the dock has reached 72.45.

By the time this red tide ends, Su Wang estimates that the last 210 bronze fish souls can all be replaced with silver-level ones.

Moreover, the current warship fleet is also fully equipped with fish souls, and can also summon tens of thousands of fishman guards to participate in the battle.

The dock's defensive strength has been greatly improved compared to the last red tide.

After allocating these murloc guards according to the size of their defense range, a large number of murloc guards began to rush towards the docks on the four sides.

This scene was naturally seen by the residents living on the dock.

The residents living near the Fish Soul Altar began to discuss this scene in private.

"The Lord has begun to summon murloc guards, and there are so many of them..."

"Yeah, it's been more than ten minutes, and new fish-man guards keep appearing."

"I was a little worried before, but judging by the situation, the Lord has as many murloc guards as the Lord of the Fire Prawn Wharf."

"I didn't expect that the Lord's dock would have so many murloc guards even after only a few expansions."

The continuous appearance of fish-man guards undoubtedly gave the residents on the dock a shot of tranquilizer.

The residents who were originally worried suddenly felt a great increase in their sense of security and were much more relieved about the red tide they would face next.

After Su Wang assigned the defense line of the merman guards, he immediately organized the fishermen and Carol to go to the port on the side where there was no fleet stationed.

The few fishermen basically came here to make some noise. The performance of this side of the harbor still depends on Carol.

Su Wang had previously asked Carol what scale of strange fish tide he could handle.

Carol's response was that if the fish gathered in schools, there would be enough to deal with tens of thousands of them.

This is also the strong confidence of the extraordinary sea warriors.

In order to be on the safe side, Su Wang even distributed 20 fish coins to the captains who owned bombers, allowing them to drive the "bombers" to attack at will.

The Wangxin was also given to Tia to control, while Su Wang was stationed at the dock to coordinate the overall situation.

...

Several hours passed in a flash,

There is less than half an hour left until the red tide arrives.

And at this moment, the dock began to expand.

As the waves surged, the pier began to expand outward at a speed of several meters per second, as if it were growing rapidly.

In just less than a quarter of an hour, the area of ​​the entire dock increased several times.

The already empty dock now appeared even more sparsely populated.

Based on the current area, it is more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of residents.

As the expansion ended, Su Wang also ordered all combat personnel to be alert.

At the same time, before the red night fell, 20 "bombers" had already slowly risen from outside the ports on several sides.

The bomber has a range of 5 kilometers, which is perfect for detecting fish tides.

Su Wang used his perspective to cut into the scene of a "bomber" released by the Wangxin, which was high in the sky and looking down at the water.

The bomber gradually flew away from the sea area near the dock and soon arrived in the air several thousand meters away from the dock.

Looking down from a high altitude, the view is obviously wider and clearer than looking from a boat.

And in the vast water area that can be seen, a large amount of waves have already appeared at this moment, and all kinds of strange fish are shuttling among the waves.

Under Tia's control, the "bomber" took the lead in attacking the tide of strange fish.

The bombers flew to where the strange fish gathered and began to "lay eggs" one after another.

One after another, mines fell from the sky and after hitting the water, they began to lure nearby strange fish to attack.

With so many strange fish in the tide, the mine exploded within ten seconds of falling into it.

The explosions of mines caused splashes of water, followed by a large number of dead fish floating to the surface.

The huge cannons equipped on the bombers also did not rest, pouring fire from high altitude towards the area where the fish were concentrated.

After Su Wang saw the effects of the bomber through the shared perspective, he couldn't help but feel a sense of reliability.

At present, the number of "bombers" is too small, so the effect is not obvious.

But if the number can be accumulated to hundreds or thousands, this kind of "air raid" attack will be enough to cause irresistible and fatal attacks on surface and even underwater targets.

As long as there are enough fish coins, the unlimited placement of mines is enough to maximize the effect of mines.

By then, mines will not just be bombs buried underwater waiting to be triggered, but will be directly transformed into bombing weapons that are delivered at fixed points!
Su Wang could even imagine,
If an air strike team of a hundred "bombers" could be formed and they flew over the "enemy ships", the hundreds of mines dropped along the way would create a spectacular scene.
