After the plan was decided, Li Bao led the fleet to patrol the northern region and annihilate all the pirates he encountered.

Of course, he also knew about places like Pirate Islands, but in order not to alert the enemy, Li Bao pretended to be unaware of it and never could get away from or approach Pirate Islands.

Changsun Sheng was exploring the fleet again, and after a long patrol, he wiped out a separate pirate ship and spoke out and suggested: "General Li, it's almost done. It's February now, and it's early summer in another month, and it's time to finish it."

After four months of cleaning, the entire northern waters have been cleared. There have been few pirates on the coastal areas, which makes some people happy and some people hate them.

What’s so happy is that the businessmen finally did not disturb the pirates, so they could do business with confidence and boldness.

What I hate is that such a powerful fleet in Xia Kingdom is destroying their interests nearby, because many pirates were cultivated by them, such as their vested interests, and they are even themselves.

Most lords are more worried. Even if the Xia Kingdom fleet has various seemingly reasonable reasons, it is inevitable that these lords will be unable to sleep or eat.

The reason why Changsun Sheng proposed that the fleet operate in the Northern Region was that the fleet had been doing business so far, in order to ensure the safety of the fleet and to make friends with foreign countries, he took special measures to combat pirates and made due responsibility for the peace of the northern waters.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the forces on the shore should not directly object, otherwise isn’t this telling others that the pirates are theirs?

Therefore, the Xia Kingdom's exploration fleet has been busy fighting pirates, at least on the surface.

He actually had to act, so he had to finish the performance. For this reason, even from the 10th to the eleventh year of the Apocalypse, all the soldiers of the fleet spent on the fleet. Li Bao asked the soldiers to celebrate a little to boost morale.

It’s not that Li Bao was stingy, but that in this far-off northern region, some unique materials from the Xia Kingdom could not be replenished. Not to mention the ammunition used in combat, just the essential staple food in life - rice and flour - are also used as little as possible.

To this end, all the soldiers of the fleet usually consumed some local food, which was very different from the black beans in the southern continent. They were similar to the wheat in Xia Kingdom, but they were brown and had a much rougher taste. Fortunately, they were not unpalatable. The chef used the inherent talents of China to cure it, so that the soldiers could eat enough.

"Mr. Changsun said so much, and I am also thinking this." Seeing that it is becoming increasingly difficult to encounter pirates recently, Li Bao knew that the time had come and he could clear the last place where pirates gather in the sea.

Since the two agreed, Li Baoma immediately ordered: "Order the fleet to change its navigation and the direction is southeast."

With the sound of the fleet, the fleet turned its bow and headed towards the Pirate Islands to clear out this final target.

Because the exploration fleet was patrolling nearby, it took less than a few hours to arrive outside the Pirate Islands.

Li Bao looked at the shadowy archipelago from the monocular telescope and ordered: "The entire fleet is ready for combat."

With Li Bao's order, the soldiers of each warship picked up their weapons and ran to their respective combat positions, lifted the cannon waterproof canvas, and raised the ammunition from the storage layer from the shaft, waiting for the upcoming battle.

"Report to General, the fleet is ready for combat!" In less than a few minutes, the officer's reward made Li Bao nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "The supply ship is on standby, and the warship is approaching the archipelago."

Li Bao's order was quickly transmitted to the fleet, and the two supply ships in the rear slowed down and broke down. A destroyer in front and two frigates continued to sail towards the Pirate Islands in front.

"The fleet sets up battle lines, turns to the south, and walks around the island." Li Bao looked at the archipelago in front of him and ordered the three warships to line up, facing the side of the ship to the island so that artillery can be fired at any time.

Exploring the fleet in the past few months has not been in vain. The information about the Pirate Islands has been clearly understood. Li Bao is even more aware of the distribution of the islands and where there are reefs and waterways.

The fleet followed Li Bao's command and circled the archipelago for a while. Seeing that the entire archipelago seemed to be deserted, Li Bao smiled contemptuously and ordered: "Attack from the southern waterway!"

Bypassing the reef, three warships sailed into the archipelago and launched an attack on the gathering place of pirates in the middle. Seeing that they could not hide, the pirates launched a normal counterattack.

"Haha~ These monkeys finally stopped hiding, and they were still a little courage." Li Bao laughed at the pirates who were on the boat on the shore in a panic and immediately ordered loudly: "Fire the cannon!"

"Boom boom boom boom!" The fleet's close-range shelling left the pirates in a hurry without a place to hide, and the pirate ships docked on the shore were destroyed one after another.

The flames of the flowering bullets ignited a series of pirate ships on the shore, causing the pirates who were on board to run and jump off the ship again.

It was not that there were pirate ships who successfully launched the charge, but before the opponent rushed to the Xia Guo warship, they launched the jump gang tactic, they were attacked by a crisp and continuous sound, and the blockbuster was killed and injured, and they were no longer able to charge.

When a nearly unmanned pirate ship slid near the warship with inertia, it was discovered that the pirate ship's hull was full of dense holes, and some of which were also trickle of liquid flowing out of it.

The deck of the pirate ship was even more full of pirates. Some pirates who were not dead were still rolling and moaning in the pile of blood-filled corpses. From time to time, a bloody hand covered with stains suddenly stretched out and suddenly fell down. This scene was like purgatory!

This pirate ship was attacked by Xia State sailors with muskets. No matter how big or small the Xia State warships each had a musket. It was these muskets that made the pirate ship attack all the time before they got close.

After the three warships of Xia Kingdom slowly circled around the central island, the pirates on the island looked at the burning flames on the coast and let out waves of wailing in despair.

Since the Xia Fleet began to attack pirates in the Northern Territory, the pirates have thought of launching an attack together so that these ungrateful people in Xia know what a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

However, because the first step in the fleet to attack pirates was to start off the coast, and the patrols made these pirates risk being wiped out, and these pirates had already encountered consecutive attacks.

So even if you want to fight back together, you will have no conditions and strength. After that, the pirate base in the Northern Region has either been cleaned up or on the way to be cleaned up.

Especially after the Battle of the Pirate Islands, it can be declared that the pirates withdraw from the Northern Territory stage.

Even if there are still some lucky people left, what can we do?
