Chapter 217 Blockade the island!
North Sea.
Filsec Island.
Filsek Island has a winter island climate all year round. The island is surrounded by villages and has lived a peaceful life for generations.
It was almost dusk, but the cold wind was still howling on the island and the sunlight was dim.
Heavy snow fell from the sky, covering the entire island with a blanket of silver.
Happy laughter echoed in the quiet village. Children wearing cotton-padded jackets played in the snow on the street, stepping on the soft snow with one foot and one foot shallow, and never left.
As the smoke gradually rose from every house, the shouts of adults soon came from the streets and alleys.
“Go home for dinner!!”
"Stop playing!"
"..."
The adults of each family chased their naughty children until their faces turned red, and then they finally pulled the reluctant children towards their homes.
Will is a famous blacksmith on Felsek Island. At this time, he is holding his eight-year-old child, greeting his neighbors in the village, and walking towards home.
"Will, my pot is broken. When do you think we can come and fix it?"
"No problem, Aunt Lilith tomorrow."
"Will... the fish harvest hasn't been very good recently. Look at the money I paid to repair the kitchen utensils. Can you give me back next month?"
"Hahaha, do you still owe me money? I forgot about it, it's okay... Just give it to me when you have more money."
"..."
Warm-hearted Will constantly responded to his friends and associates, smiling carefree.
Firsek Island is very barren. The climate on the winter island is very cold, and there is almost no harvest of crops. Everyone's life is not easy.
But this life, although a bit bitter, is still peaceful enough.
Although everyone is poor, there are no wars, no vendettas, no hatred, and no pirates to plunder the food stocks that they rely on for survival.
Will vaguely remembered that Felsek Island was not like this in the past.
Gangsters, gangsters, mafia extortion, pirate invasion... just like Beihai's nickname, it is extremely chaotic.
When did things change?
Will is a rough-edged man and his memory is not very good. He often forgets that other villagers even owe him money.
But he remembered that day clearly.
That was four years and four months ago.
A warship claiming to be the North Sea Branch 321 sailed into Felsek Island.
"According to the order of the new North Sea Admiral Rogers Darren, starting from today, the North Sea Navy will collect a fixed military security tax of 10% to ensure that Felsek Island is free from illegal infringement and pirate plunder."
That's what the navy said.
When all the villagers on the island heard the bad news, they felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
The 10% tax may not seem like much, but for ordinary civilians like them who have suffered from mafia extortion and pirate robbery, it is tantamount to a heavy blow.
It was enough to completely shatter their already terrible lives into pieces.
But facing the indifferent and armed navy, what can these weak villagers do?
They could only numbly agree.
Thinking about surviving is one day at a time.
Isn’t that what ordinary people’s lives are like?
Everyone lives like this, and I am not the world's noble Celestial Dragon who was born as a god, so why should I be favored by the goddess of luck?
Face it, Will.
This is what he said to himself while holding the child's hand.
However.
After everyone finally collected enough money and handed it over to the Beihai Navy, a miracle... happened.
The evil gangsters, bandits and mafia forces on the island disappeared overnight.
The villagers had no idea what happened that night.
They didn't dare to go out at all. They just locked the door in fear, hid under the covers, and listened to the constant wailing outside the window.
The screams continued all night long.
When the sun melted the snow the next morning, they walked out of their homes shivering.
Corpses, blood-stained corpses, were piled up on the port.
Those evil people who oppressed, defrauded, extorted, and violated them in the past. The original ferocious, evil, violent, and twisted expressions on their faces have all disappeared.
The expression on the stiff and blue corpse's face was only frozen with fear and despair.
As for those navies...
They still looked so cold and stern, their uniforms were covered with blood, the sabers around their waists were dripping with blood, and they held torches high in their hands to burn the mountains of corpses.
Looking at the blood all over the ground and the fire rising into the sky... Will realized for the first time that the snow-white seagull flag was so sacred and majestic.
Then, they saw a young lieutenant colonel covered in blood, striding towards them.
Will clearly remembers the young naval lieutenant colonel with two mature mustaches.
He seemed a little unaccustomed to smiling, and smiled stiffly:
"From today on, peace will come to the North Sea."
"Please believe in the new North Sea Admiral Rogers Darren. He will get things done after he takes everyone's money."
Once the money is collected, things will be done.
Will felt like laughing for a moment when he heard these nondescript words that should not have come out of the Navy's mouth.
But it's good.
The new Admiral of Beihai is really good.
At least it's not like those clandestine navies in the past, who ostensibly accepted money but actually united with pirates to continue to exploit civilians.
It doesn't matter if you are poor or backward, as long as you can live peacefully, that is enough.
Isn't it?
What they prayed for was really not much at all.
When the body is burned, the flames rise;
When the sea breeze is strong and the flying snow drifts;
When the snow-white seagull flag fluttered over the barren and cold Felsek Island, the illusory and invisible justice seemed to have fallen into reality at this moment.
That was the most secure day for the entire people of Felsek Island...
"Lieutenant Admiral Darren, what a good navy..."
Falling into memories, Will's eyes swayed and he murmured with a smile.
Compared with the pitiful taxes they paid, their hard-won peace and tranquility were too expensive.
It is rumored that Lieutenant General Rogers Darren, the "King of the North Sea", is the most business-minded and shrewd calculation man on the sea.
But in this transaction, no matter how you look at it, he lost money.
Will smiled so hard that his rough eyelids narrowed, and his long-lasting iron hand tightened on the child's hand.
Not just him, but the entire aboriginal population of Felsek Island unanimously believed this.
As long as Lieutenant General Darren is here, no one will dare to break their little happiness.
——Even if they have never seen the legendary navy that protected them all.
"Well, that is?"
Just when Will was about to walk to his yard, he suddenly saw something and looked surprised.
His house is not far from the coast and he can clearly see everything offshore.
At this time, he saw huge and imposing warships approaching slowly, breaking through the waves.
"It's the Navy...could it be the Beihai Navy?"
When Will saw the soaring seagull flags, a look of excitement appeared on his face.
He immediately rushed into the house, ignored his wife's shouts, ran into the basement, took out the spirits that had been dusty for many years, and the freshly marinated bacon, and rushed out of the house with his children.
There is nothing good on Felsek Island. I hope the navy officers of the North Sea Branch will not dislike their wine and meat bar.
Will thought nervously.
When he ran to the shore, he smiled and waved vigorously at the majestic warships.
"Lord Marine, this way!"
He cheered with joy.
This time, I was finally able to thank them in person.
Looking at the huge fleet of warships lined up in a row, with their majestic and majestic appearance, Will's face flushed with excitement.
This is the navy that has been protecting them!
This is the justice they expect and respect!
However, unexpectedly,
The warships seemed to have not seen him, and their forward movement gradually stopped.
Then,
Will was shocked to see a tall and burly figure slowly stepping out from the warship at the head of the fleet.
It was a naval admiral with a strange hairstyle. He looked to be about forty years old, with a black afro and a mustache tied with a hemp whip.
Will didn't understand the military rank and had no way of identifying this man's identity, but the awe-inspiring aura he exuded made it obvious at first glance that he was definitely a big shot in the navy.
The world became quiet at this moment.
Snowflakes were falling from the sky.
Somehow, Will looked at the silent, indescribable complex expressions on the faces of the sailors on the warship, and felt an extremely uneasy premonition in his heart.
Then, he heard an order even colder than the falling snow in the sky.
It was the order given by the big man in the navy.
"Seal the island and prohibit entry and exit!"
The majestic naval man spoke indifferently.
"Anyone who tries to leave the sea...shoot to death!!"
Snapped!
The wine jar fell to the ground, and the long-cherished mellow liquor splashed away.
Fat and thin pieces of bacon were scattered messily in the snow.
Will fell to the ground, eyes horrified.
The strong blacksmith's hands were shaking uncontrollably.
He saw pity, sympathy and sorrow in the eyes of the big naval man.
He knew exactly what that look meant.
It was a kind of... look at a dying person.

Explain the situation.
Some bosses say it’s water, but it’s really not true.
The author is an experienced author, and he knows how to write so that everyone can enjoy watching it at the climax, let alone get frustrated at such a critical moment.
Foreshadowing, foreshadowing, the people's vision, the navy's vision...
These have to be written, otherwise the plot will be very thin.
It's just a push to kill all the way. To put it bluntly, it's meaningless.
Please believe me, Ron did not disappoint you in the last book, and this book will not disappoint you either.
Of course, I also understand the anxious mood of the bosses. You can take care of it for ten or eight days, or you can come back to read it at the end of the exam.
Just remember to come back.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to add more updates. Lao Ma's wedding is in May and there are too many things to prepare. It is really difficult to add more updates. I can only guarantee the quality of each chapter.
grateful.
good luck.
