Chapter 217 Block 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 Fiersek 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 like they were 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 told 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 in the bed, and listened to the constant wailing outside the window.

The screams continued all night long.

When the sun melted the snow in the early morning of the next day, 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.

This new Admiral of Beihai is really good.

At least it is not like those navies in the past who took money on the surface but actually joined forces with pirates to continue to exploit civilians.

It doesn't matter if it is poor and backward, as long as they can live in peace and quiet, that's enough.

Isn't it?

What they prayed for was actually not much at all.

When the bodies burned and the flames rose;

When the sea breeze was cold and the snow was drifting;

When the white seagull flag fluttered over the barren and cold Filsek Island, the illusory and invisible justice seemed to have come true at this moment.

That was the most secure day for the people of Filsek Island.

"Vice Admiral Darren, what a good navy..."

Will, who was lost in memories, shook his eyes and murmured with a smile.

Compared with the pitiful amount of taxes they paid, their hard-earned peace and tranquility were too expensive.

It is rumored that Vice Admiral Rogers Darren, the "King of the North Sea", is the most business-minded and shrewd man on this sea.

But this deal, no matter how you look at it, he is the one who lost.

Will smiled so hard that his rough eyelids narrowed, and his hands, which had been blacksmithing for years, tightened the child's hand.

Not only him, but all the natives of Filsek Island believed it.

As long as Vice Admiral Darren was there, no one would dare to break their little happiness.

——Even if they had never seen the legendary navy that protected them all.

"Well, that is?"

Just as Will was about to walk to his yard, he suddenly saw something and looked surprised.

His house was not far from the coast, and he could clearly see everything on the offshore sea.

At this time, he saw that a huge and imposing warship was slowly approaching and breaking through the waves.

"It's the navy... Could it be the North Sea Navy?"

Will saw the flying seagull flags, and a touch of excitement appeared on his face.

He immediately rushed into the house, ignoring his wife's shouting, ran into the basement to take out the dusty liquor and the freshly pickled bacon, and rushed out of the house with the child.

There is nothing good on Filsek Island. I hope the navy officers and soldiers of the North Sea Branch will not despise my wine and meat.

Will thought nervously.

When he ran to the shore, he smiled and waved vigorously at the majestic warships.

"Mr. Navy, this way!"

He cheered excitedly.

This time, he was finally able to thank them in person.

Looking at the huge fleet of warships lined up in a row, the majestic and majestic appearance, Will was so excited that his face flushed.

This is the navy that has always protected them!

This is the justice they expect and respect!

However, unexpectedly,

the warships seemed not to see him, and the forward trend gradually stopped.

Then,

Will was surprised to see that a tall and burly figure slowly stepped out from the warship leading the fleet.

It was a naval general with a strange hairstyle. He looked about 40 years old, with a black afro and a whip beard.

Will didn't know what military rank he had, so he couldn't tell the man's identity, but the awe-inspiring aura he exuded made it clear 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 navy on the warship, and a sense of extreme uneasiness surged in his heart.

Then, he heard an order that was even colder than the snow.

It was an order issued by the big shot in the navy.

"Block the island and prohibit entry and exit!"

The majestic big shot in the navy spoke indifferently.

"Anyone who tries to leave the sea... will be killed without mercy!!"

Bang!

The wine jar fell to the ground, and the long-treasured mellow liquor splashed.

The fat and lean bacon was scattered in the snow.

Will fell to the ground with a look of horror in his eyes.

The strong and powerful blacksmith's hands trembled uncontrollably.

He saw pity, sympathy and grief in the eyes of the big man in the navy.

He knew what that look meant.

It was a look... of someone who was about to die.

Let me explain the situation.

Some big guys said it was watery, but it was not true.

As an old author, I know how to write so that everyone can enjoy it at the climax, and I will not write watery at such a critical moment.

Foreshadowing, foreshadowing, the public's vision, the navy's vision...

These must be written, otherwise the plot will be very thin.

It is just a strong push and kill all the way, to put it bluntly, it is meaningless.

Please believe Lao Ma, Ron in the last book did not disappoint everyone, and this book will not disappoint you either.

Of course, I understand the anxious mood of the big guys. You can wait for ten days or eight days, or come back to read it at the end of the volume.

Just remember to come back.

It may be difficult to add more chapters. Lao Ma's wedding is in May, and there are too many things to prepare. It is really difficult to add more chapters. I can only guarantee the quality of each chapter.

Thank you.

good luck.
