Pirates from island owner to king

Normally, after awakening the armed color, if you want to further improve, you mainly need to keep fighting.

Hone in battle, domineering is an innate potential power, related to courage and physique.

but.

If you draw the golden bell and awaken the weapon color, there will be no shortage of ways to develop and exercise.

The magically modified golden bell is divided into twelve levels.

Different level realms require different domineering level requirements.

Likewise, as you practice the Golden Bell Shield, you can also develop and exercise your domineering energy.

While Wang Hai and Armani were reminiscing about old times, some soldiers on the northern defense line also noticed his arrival.

Although they were separated by a distance, what they thought was a quiet discussion reached Wang Hai's ears.

"Is he the new island owner?"

"She is so beautiful, so it must be him. I didn't expect that he and Armani are still friends."

In response to their discussion, Wang Hai twitched the corner of his mouth.

Although he is indeed a handsome man, the word beautiful sounds a bit awkward.

As for these soldiers who have never seen him before, he is no exception.

These soldiers are stationed here most of the time, and it is common not to go back for a month or two.

And even if they go back, they won't stay too long, and he may not have a chance to meet them.

"I heard that the new island owner is also a genius. How does he compare to Armani?"

"There should be no comparison. Although Armani is only 14 years old, except for General William, he is the strongest among us."

"Yes, I heard from the general that with Armani's talent, maybe he can surpass him in three to five years."

……

The soldiers were watching the discussion not far away. When William came out, they immediately stopped talking.

William came over and greeted Wang Hai: "Island owner."

Wang Hai nodded and explained: "Although I believe in General William, I still feel a little uneasy. I just happened to stop by to see Armani."

"Since the island owner is here, I will accompany him to see it." William said.

"Okay." Wang Hai said and looked at Armani, "Together?"

"I'll go as well."

Armani agreed immediately.

The three then checked the layout of the northern defense line.

Compared with the southern defensive line, the northern defensive line is not that long.

Because the north is relatively barren and barren, with not so much vegetation, you can see everything at a glance.

If there is a wild animal, you can spot it at a glance from a distance.

Therefore, the northern defense line is mainly concentrated near the workshops in Taoyuan Town, and the defensive pressure is not that great.

After all, except for some vindictive beasts in the north who try to go around here to attack Taoyuan Town, there are not many other beasts willing to come over.

Even so, some traps still have to be arranged.

Wang Hai and his generals and retainers had already discussed this yesterday, and now some hunters, soldiers, and even farmers who know how to lay traps are already busy on the defense line.

Wang Hai and the others took a look and found that there was nothing wrong with the trap arrangement.

Depending on the situation, the layout can be completed by noon at most, which made Wang Hai relieved.

In the process, he also met the soldiers on the northern defense line and identified them one by one with his golden finger.

Fortunately, the bond value is still passable.

As for strength and talent, there are no surprises. They are similar to the South Defense Line, and can only be said to be passable.

Later, William will train them according to the special forces training manual, and equip them with complete equipment and weapons. Their overall strength should be improved a lot.

It's impossible to become a special forces soldier, but ordinary elites comparable to the navy should be fine.

This is enough for the time being.

He didn't expect these soldiers to become his elite aces.

After a round of inspection, the three returned to the station.

Because it is close to the workshop, the location of this northern defense line is fixed and does not need to be constantly moved.

It is precisely because of this that compared to the simplicity of the southern defense line, this place is much better, almost no different from ordinary residential buildings.

It's just changing from individual housing to collective housing.

There are one hundred soldiers on each of the north and south defense lines. In addition to the soldiers who are out patrolling, almost half of them are currently stationed in the garrison.

At this time, most of them are doing their own training.

Wang Hai took a look and found that many of them were training according to their own preferences or habits rather than according to their outstanding talents.

Back at the station, William called everyone over.

"This is the island owner." He introduced.

"I've met the island owner!" The soldiers all greeted him respectfully.

Although many of them saw Wang Hai for the first time, they already knew about Wang Hai's deeds.

Therefore, they certainly do not reject Wang Hai, an island owner who is talented, visionary, and responsible, and can lead everyone to live a good life.

"Thank you for your hard work," Wang Hai said sincerely.

He didn't say any more polite words, just a few words of comfort, and then Wang Hai started to talk about the key points.

"To make a long story short, from now on, you will continue to shoulder the important responsibility of guarding the northern defense line. There is not much I can do for you."

"I will talk about a few decisions. The first is to increase salary. Everyone's salary will be increased by [-]% on the original basis."

As Wang Hai announced the news, the soldiers all became excited.

There is no better news than this.

"Long live the island owner!" After confirming that what he said was true, the soldiers couldn't help but cheer together.

Wang Hai was a little emotional after seeing it.

Originally, the monthly salary of these domestic soldiers was generally around [-] beli, which seemed a bit low to him.

He planned to double them directly.

However, after Wang Jin repeatedly persuaded him, he changed to a [-]% increase.

According to Wang Jin, a [-]% increase is already quite significant, mainly because most of the supplies on the island are self-produced and sold, and the cost is relatively low.

Therefore, prices are much lower than those in the outside world.

Especially now that the outside world is in troubled times, prices of various commodities are soaring.

"Second, everyone must read and write in the future." After everyone calmed down for a while, Wang Hai announced the second news.

After hearing the news, everyone suddenly became quiet and looked at each other.

"Since everyone has no objections, it has been decided." Wang Hai continued.

"Um...island owner, let's forget about reading and literacy."

"Yes, we know that reading and literacy is a good thing, but as soldiers, we only need to be responsible for fighting, and reading is useless."

"It's just that I get a headache after reading the book and I really can't study."

……

Suddenly, everyone started to shirk away with various reasons and excuses.

Compared with the people in the town, most of these soldiers dislike reading even more.

In other words, they have become accustomed to using force to survive.

Wang Hai is no exception to this.

This time he raised wages and promoted reading and literacy, not only for the domestic soldiers on the northern defense line, but also for the domestic soldiers on the southern defense line.

However, the southern defense line was left to Shigetsuki Sasuke and Zhou Yu.

Wang Hai signaled everyone to quiet down.

"As for what everyone says, reading and literacy is useless, I don't think so."

"To give a simple example, if you pick up the training notes of a physical arts master, if you are illiterate, you may just throw them away and miss an opportunity to become stronger."

"Some people may say that talent determines your upper limit. A notebook cannot make you stronger, but is this notebook useless?"

"Someone needs it, it has value and can be exchanged for money. If the money is exchanged for enough, you can buy the devil fruit to change the talent."
