Chapter 206 Bandits Rampage
Chapter 206 Bandits Rampage
Without a word the whole night, the morning of the next day arrived.
A military ship set off from the waters beside the Eastern Sea military headquarters, heading straight for the high seas.
There were only a few people on the ship, among them were Ye Ling and Chen Dao, while the others were Eastern Sea military soldiers responsible for steering the vessel.
"Sir, I've heard that bandits run rampant on the high seas. I fear we will encounter quite a few roadblocks on this journey to the public waters,"
Chen Dao, standing beside Ye Ling, began to speak.
Ye Ling glanced at him and said with a smile, "Of course, I know that, or why else would I bring you with me?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Dao immediately understood Ye Ling's intentions and a resigned, bitter smile appeared on his face.
He, at the very least, was a half-step Battle King powerhouse, yet Ye Ling was using him to deal with bandits, which had to be said was underutilizing his abilities.
However, when it came to Ye Ling's orders, Chen Dao naturally didn't dare to resist.
The speed of the military ship was extremely fast, and in no time it had already sailed out of the Eastern Sea, officially entering the open ocean domain.
"Northern Liao King, ten nautical miles to the west, several ships are fast approaching us!"
"The other party is most likely the bandits who run amok in the high seas, should we strike first?"
As soon as the ship had entered the open ocean, a military soldier from the Eastern Sea forces who was managing the ship sought out Ye Ling and relayed the intelligence he had just received.
Ye Ling raised his eyebrows and then said with a smile, "Proceed as usual, don't worry about anything else."
"Yes, sir!"
The soldier immediately responded and quickly withdrew.
Chen Dao, with a dark expression, said, "To think they'd dare to target the Eastern Sea military's ship, these high-seas bandits sure are audacious. It's just that I don't know if their heads are hard enough to withstand my fist."
Hearing this, Ye Ling shook his head with a smile, his face wearing a faint smile.
A few minutes later, three ships came into Ye Ling's view.
Each ship was an expensive cruise liner, indicating these bandits who roamed the open seas indeed had not robbed passing ships sparingly; otherwise, they wouldn't have accumulated such a substantial fortune.

"Damn it, these pirates are quite cunning. The loot they've stolen isn't kept on the ships; who knows which island they've hidden it on."
Chen Dao grumbled bitterly.
He then tossed all the gold, silver, and jewels he held onto the deck.
Although the amount was not great, it was enough to make most people envious, but Chen Dao seemed completely indifferent towards these treasures.
Ye Ling just shook his head and laughed without saying much.
After dealing with the pirates of those three ships, the warship set sail once more, heading towards the base of the Wo Country's samurai.
During the subsequent journey, Ye Ling encountered a few more bands of pirates.
However, these pirates were mostly ordinary people who, emboldened by their weapons, sought to tyrannize the open sea.
But to Chen Dao, a half-step Battle King, the weapons in their hands posed no threat whatsoever.
Every band that targeted Ye Ling's warship, hoping to make a fortune, ultimately met their end at Chen Dao's hands, becoming shark food in the ocean.
After dealing with each group of pirates, Chen Dao would always search their cabins for any gold, silver, and jewels they had plundered.
After several encounters, the treasures Chen Dao had amassed already piled up to half a person's height on the deck of the warship.
Looking at the mound of gold and silver jewels that shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, Ye Ling's eyes darkened.
"These pirates are rampant on the high seas, and this is only the part of the loot they didn't have time to take back to their lair, yet it's already such a tremendous amount."
"It's chilling to think of how many ships have been robbed by these pirates over the years, and how many people have died at their hands!" Ye Ling said gravely, staring at the treasures before him.
Hearing this, Chen Dao also sighed, saying somewhat helplessly, "My lord, this is after all the high seas, not within the territory of the Eastern Sea."
"The Eastern Sea Navy, even if willing to eradicate these pirates, cannot send a large force into international waters..."
Ye Ling nodded slightly; the Dragon Nation and several surrounding nations had an agreement that forbade their large armies from entering international waters, lest they be seen as provocation or even a precursor to war by the other countries.
"It's surprising that those Samurai from Wo Country have secretly entered the high seas to establish a base, and the Eastern Sea Navy received not a single piece of intelligence on it!"
Chen Dao's expression changed slightly as he spoke gravely, his words laced with a thick murderous intent.
A curve formed on Ye Ling's lips, as he said in a cold voice, "Wo Country has never abandoned the idea of pressing up to the borders of Dragon Nation; likely, this base has existed for more than a year or two."
