Chapter 1141: Surrounded by Several Ships

Although what General Cheng said made sense, Qiao Ran still felt bad.

She wrote down the Thirty-Six Stratagems and handed them to General Cheng. These strategies, when used in military tactics, were invincible and laid a solid foundation for the Navy Battalion to become the strongest navy in the entire continent in the future.

In addition, to thank the Navy Battalion for escorting her to Agate Island twice, she decided to give the Navy Battalion dozens more barrels of kerosene on her return trip.

The drawings of the improved catapult were also given to General Cheng, which was of great help to the growth of the navy camp.

General Cheng was extremely excited when he received the drawings.

He knew very well how precious the blueprint was, because he knew how crucial the improved catapult played in defending the capital and attacking the northern desert.

If this catapult was placed on the navy camp's large ship, whenever the enemy attacked, they could drive the large ship to defeat the enemy and would never let the enemy break through the navy camp's defense line and invade Dai Viet.

At this time, he didn't know that in addition to this surprise, there was an even bigger surprise waiting for him.

When General Cheng received dozens of barrels full of extremely precious incendiary oil, he was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

All he could say was that every time he went out to sea with Miss Qiao, it was a great opportunity, and the rate of return was beyond his imagination.

Of course, these are all for later.

At this moment, General Cheng's heart was filled with happiness.

There were craftsmen on board, ready to repair ships, bows and catapults at any time.

When he stopped at an island to rest, he asked his soldiers to go to the island to find suitable wood, and asked the craftsmen to improve and repair the catapult on the ship, so that the improved version of the catapult had a longer range, better accuracy and greater power.

While everyone was either relaxing or busy, the ten large ships moved away from Dai Viet and were getting closer and closer to the Agate Island.

On this day, when more than a dozen scattered islands appeared in front of the fleet, everyone ran to the deck to look and exclaimed from time to time.

Most of the time along the way we were driving on the vast ocean. Apart from the azure blue water and the sky that was sometimes gloomy and sometimes clear, there was no other scenery to see.

There are occasionally islands, but mostly there are only one or two, or at most four or five together.

It is really rare to see more than a dozen islands, big or small, at the same time.

Moreover, these islands, big or small, all surround the largest, tallest and most beautiful island, as if they are guarding it or worshipping it.

"Ranran, is that Agate Island? Do those dozen islands belong to the Agate Kingdom? These islands are so beautiful!"

From afar, the archipelago is covered with lush trees, some large, some small, some tall, some short, like a dozen emerald green beads inlaid on the blue sea level.

"Well, we have entered the territory of the Agate Kingdom. The largest and highest island in front is Agate Island. The surrounding archipelagos also belong to the Agate Kingdom. There are all kinds of treasures on those islands. I will take you to explore each island one by one."

Qiao Ran was a little excited to return to this somewhat familiar place.

Qiao Dajiang and Bama were even more impatient and wanted to get to the island as soon as possible to meet those familiar people.

However, before they approached Agate Island, their fleet was surrounded by dozens of ships.

On those dozen islands, smoke signals were also lit. These were messages sent by the islanders to each other, warning them that a powerful foreign enemy was invading. All the islanders were on war readiness.
