Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 145: Far Worse Than Imagination

When the dock residents heard the lord say that the pollution could be cured, surprise flashed in their eyes.

"My Lord said that the Defiler can be cured?"

"I heard that too. I haven't heard of any dock going to cure the polluters."

"Could these people be the polluters that the Lord healed?

If we are contaminated, wouldn't the Lord be able to heal us?"

For a time,

The attention that was originally focused on the 15 semi-purified residents was now drawn to the topic of curing the pollution.

Seeing that the residents' attitudes had calmed down, Su Wang stopped talking and led the 15 semi-purified residents to register.

As for their residence,

Su Wang deliberately selected a place with few facilities on the dock and rebuilt several houses.

The reason why they are not arranged in areas with a large population is because we are worried that these people will not be able to fit in for the time being.

Although he had just issued an order prohibiting discrimination,
However, these local residents, who originally came from various docks, have a deep-rooted impression of polluters, and it is not easy to change them in the short term.

And has the ability to purify,
Some polluters will inevitably need to be purified in the future, so it is not a bad idea to clear out an area for their resettlement in advance.

Wait until the placement is complete.

Su Wang immediately called Cao Ge and the captain of the fleet arranged by Tia.

First, they were informed of the polluters or their appearance, and then they were instructed to expand the patrol area.

From patrolling only the waters under the jurisdiction of the port, the patrol has been expanded to cover an area of ​​at least 50 nautical miles outside the jurisdiction.

In this way, the already small number of patrol boats will be dispersed extremely sparsely.

But in order to avoid being caught off guard by the polluters, we can only act this way for the time being.

After receiving the order, Cao Ge and the captain of the Horned Eel family fleet immediately went to make arrangements.

Su Wang then prepared to go out to sea again to find the place where the polluters gathered.

More than an hour later,
The Heart of Death once again sailed to the sea area where the polluter was discovered.

Su Wang decided to go to the place where the Baijiao Wharf was polluted and sank to take a look.

While sailing at high speed,
Su Wang told Tia to observe the situation on both sides and behind, while he himself looked through the window at the visible area in front.

However, after sailing for less than twenty minutes, another fleet of about 12 ships appeared within sight.

According to the dock distribution map within the dock alliance, there are no local docks near this area.

Therefore, there is a 90% chance that the silhouette of this team's ship is a pollution monster ship.

Su Wang did not choose to go up and deal with them, but instead accelerated and continued forward.

These scattered teams of strange ships are just scouts sent out by the large army. It would be a waste of time to deal with them one by one.

The main goal this time is to find the large force.

With the speed of the Heart of Destruction, even if the Polluter's reconnaissance team noticed it, they would soon be left behind.

In the future,

The number of sightings of small fleets of strange ships has increased, and the distance between them in the sea area has become closer and closer.

Su Wang made a rough calculation.

The number of teams encountered along the way alone added up to nearly 300 ships, but this was only found on one route.

The reconnaissance teams scattered by the Polluter must be distributed in a fan-shaped pattern.

Judging from this, there are estimated to be more than thousands of strange ships responsible for reconnaissance.

But after continuing to sail, Su Wang overturned this speculation.

As the investigation went deeper, the distance between the strange ship groups was not only reduced, but the size of the groups also began to increase.

从原本一支小队5-15艘左右，逐渐变成20-50艘，到现在苏忘甚至已经发现过上百艘为1队的怪船队伍。

Similarly, fan-shaped incremental estimates are made based on the scale seen in the explored waters.

Su Wang felt that the total number of strange ships sent out for reconnaissance and search was at least 2.

This discovery made Su Wang feel even more depressed.

This is not good news.

According to the original estimate, there should be only about 3 strange ships polluting the shrimp dock.

However, the current estimate of the reconnaissance team alone is around 2 ships.

At present, even the assembly point of the large troops has not been found. If we continue to go deeper, this number will only gradually increase.

Unless the pollution of the Shrimp Wharf meant dismantling and dispersing the entire large force, it would be impossible to disperse so many strange ships just for reconnaissance.

Another possibility is,
This time, it was not only the polluted shrimp dock that invaded, but more polluted docks were also converging.

As they went deeper, the navigation and exploration activities of the Death Heart became increasingly difficult.

The distance between the strange ship reconnaissance team and the sea area was further reduced, coupled with the extremely fast speed of the Wangxin.

Basically, once you get rid of one team, you will encounter another one soon.

There were even two times when it was difficult to dodge, and they used all their strength to quickly eliminate two strange ship reconnaissance teams with a total of hundreds of ships.

Su Wang didn't even have time to pick up the spoils, so he could only hurry up and move on.

After all, who knows if there are any strange ships chasing us all the way.

If he was surrounded by the fleet of strange ships, Su Wang could only use his last anchor shuttle ability today to escape and return.

By the time they arrived at the polluted waters where the White Shark Wharf sank, the number of ships they could detect had increased to around 200-300.

Although he had not yet seen the place where the large group of polluters gathered, Su Wang estimated that it would not be too far away.

After exploring along the way, Su Wang also discovered the gathering of the reconnaissance teams scattered by the Polluter fleet.

It seemed to be centered around a certain location, dispersing outwards layer by layer. The further outwards the level, the fewer monster ships there were, while the closer to the origin, the more monster ships stopped to patrol.

And the reason why Su Wang made such a judgment was that the information about the water area had changed.

A few minutes ago, the lightly polluted waters suddenly changed to moderately polluted waters.

Sure enough, not long after sailing deeper, Su Wang made a discovery.

But this discovery made his face look a little ugly.

At the edge of the distant sight, a black line with unclear edges appeared in the field of vision.

Su Wang judged at a glance that this was a visual illusion caused by the confluence of a large number of ships.

This discovery shows that the polluters did not dismantle the entire fleet, but there was indeed an area where the main force was assembled.

By sending out the scattered monster ship reconnaissance teams, it would be considered good if they could capture half of the total number of enemies.

This was undoubtedly the worst news for Su Wang.

This means that the invading polluters should come from far more than just one dock.

At this time, several strange ship groups were heading towards the waters where the Wangxin was staying.

Seeing this situation,

Su Wang left an anchor mark at the spot, then took a deep look at the gathering place that looked like a boundary line, and chose to shuttle away.

In an instant, the Heart of Death returned to the vicinity of Fool's Wharf and slowly sailed towards the port.

In the room, Su Wang's expression was as gloomy as dead water.

This time the goal has been achieved and the polluters' gathering point has indeed been found.

However, the situation he discovered made Su Wang realize that he could not just sit there and wait for death.

It is estimated that the invading polluter fleet is at least 6 ships, and even more is not impossible.

It is no wonder that after the White Shark Wharf was polluted, several nearby docks wanted to relocate instead of choosing to unite to resist the subsequent invasion of the polluters.

Such a large number of strange ships,

Even if we gather at seven or eight nearby docks, it would be considered good if the number of ships in the fleet could reach half of the total number of enemies.

In addition, they each have their own docks that need to be defended, making it difficult to gather combat power.

Su Wang couldn't help but think about what to do now.

There are currently two options,

One is to follow the example of the nearby docks and abandon the Fool's Wharf, which has been expanded several times, and gather residents and fleets for a large-scale migration.

But in this way, although the core of the special facilities at the dock can be reassembled, many things will still be lost.

For example, the permanent scroll that has been used must kill all the fish that have accumulated and reproduced in the fish breeding lake.

In addition, the resources and reputation stones consumed in expanding the dock will all be burned.

The other option is to stay and find a way to deal with this terrifying number of polluter ships.

After thinking for two minutes, Su Wang decided to stay.

At present, Shuangyu Wharf has been given the task of expanding outward.

Even if we look for a new dock now,
Perhaps we will also face the invasion of polluters in the near future, but the scale may not be so large.

And during this time,
After much difficulty, the Fool's Wharf was developed on the right track, and even trade relations were established with several docks, so that supplies could be harvested one after another.

There are too many things to give up when rebuilding the dock, and I really can't afford it.

However, the challenges faced by those who stay are even more difficult.

Su Wang immediately decided,

No matter what, let's delay the Polluter's progress in discovering Fool's Wharf first.

Although it only took the Deathheart half a day to find the polluters' gathering point.

However, the sea area where the polluter was first discovered is more than 500 nautical miles away from Fool's Wharf.

At the speed of the Polluter's strange ship, it would take 3-5 days to gradually explore the waters near the Fool's Wharf.

And there are only a few of these scattered outer exploration monster ship teams.

What Su Wang can think of at the moment,

That is to take the initiative and deal with these exploration teams first, and delay the discovery of Fool's Wharf as much as possible.

Just wait for part of the ransom from the Red Sting Wharf to be delivered, and then do a few more wharf trades.

As long as the number of mutual aid fleets can be increased to more than 2,

Su Wang was confident that he could take the initiative to fight a guerrilla war, using the strategy of gradual erosion and encirclement and attack of reinforcements to attack these polluters.

The current advantages are the strong offensive power, maneuverability and ultra-long range of the cooperative fleet.

Abandoning these advantages and choosing to defend Fool's Wharf will only lead to defeat.

The only way to succeed is to choose the polluter's home turf as the battle site and force them into a passive defensive position!

Thinking of this,

Su Wang couldn't wait any longer.

He immediately returned to the port and found Cao Ge again to prepare to change the plan.
