After the Apple Pirates, they went around for two days, but still haven't found any trace of other pirates.
If it weren't for the fact that this is the sea area around the Eighteen Branches of the East China Sea, Li Yan would really believe that pirates are rare animals.
"It seems that if you want to find more pirates, you have to go further afield!"
Standing on the deck and looking into the distance, Li Yan couldn't help thinking.
But now is not the time...
The Evil Dragon Pirates, the Creek Pirates, the Bucky Pirates, etc., although these are not strong, it is still very simple to destroy the people who are now.
"Larnas, go back!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
------
On the fourth day after the first patrol at sea, Li Yan returned to Corona Island, where the Eighteenth Branch was located. After disbanding the navy, he immediately went to find Ross, the foreman of the Luo Lan Company.
After all, this trip to the sea can get 20,000 merits, and also obtained building materials, so the construction team that has been suspended for a week has to be reactivated.
As for what to build, it was already decided on the way back.
There are four buildings in total, such as the small prison, the naval canteen, the armory, and the warship repair dock. All the 20,000 merit points have been spent, and there is not a single cent left.
Prisons are just in need. If nothing else, they can’t be **** and thrown into the branch building every time they are caught, right?
Therefore, if there is no place to close it, it will be very troublesome. Even if you notify Rogue Town to send a warship to take it away, it will take several days.
As for the armory, it is not necessary to let the marines bring all the weapons back to the dormitory every day, and there are also the artillery shells on the warships and the ammunition reserves for the marines' rifles, etc. These things must be stored somewhere.
As for the canteen, there are ten more sailors this time, and there will be more and more in the future. This is also something that is just needed, but it is more troublesome without a chef. I hope that among the ten sailors this time, there are cooking talents. people!
In the end, if the warship is in the repair dock, it is impossible to do it. Take this battle with the Apple Pirates as an example. Even if the battle is so light, when the warship is approaching, there will inevitably be some scratches and bruises.
Therefore, a place for maintenance and repair is necessary.
After handing the four blueprints to Ross and informing him that the materials had been stored in the warehouse, Li Yan came to his office.
"System, summon the rewarded marines and instructors for me!"
[Ding, it has been summoned, ten naval recruits and a naval instructor will arrive at the branch within three days]
It was the same three-day formula, and Li Yan was not in a hurry.
Picking up the phone bug on the table, he called the naval branch in Rogue Town directly.
blu blu blu blu blu blu blu blu...
"This is Smoker!"
"Senior Brother Smog, I'm Li Yan from the eighteenth branch!"
"Li Yan, what are you going to apply for?"
"Cough, senior brother, you..."
"Don't pretend, kid, Mr. Zefa told me that as long as your greeting at the beginning is very polite, it will definitely be a bad idea!"
When Li Yan heard this, it turned out that the old man sold himself...
"Okay...Actually, when I was out on patrol, I happened to run into the Apple Pirates, so I caught him back, but as you know, brother, I don't have a prison here, so..."
"Okay, just in a few days, the prison ship will send a group of pirates to advance the city, and I will let them drop by your side to receive it!"
Smog was not surprised that Li Yan captured the Apple Pirates. Such a pirate group with a bounty of less than 1 million could not be sunk with a few shots from a warship.
Therefore, Smaller didn't think about Li Yan's strength at all.
"Then I would like to thank Senior Brother. In addition, I have to apply for the uniforms and supporting equipment of the eleventh navy!"
"Huh? Did you accept someone again?"
"Yes, I asked to recruit them on some islands, and they will come to my side in three days."
"Li Yan, even though the 18th branch has the right to recruit less than 100 sailors on its own, it's useless to recruit so many sailors in your place!"
"Senior brother, this is all tricks..."
"Okay, okay, I got it, then I'll let the prison ship take it to you along the way, remember to send the data of this group of people to back up later!"
"clear!"
After hanging up the phone bug, Li Yan also thought about it.
The Eighteenth Branch is a fifth-class branch in the naval order, which is the smallest one.
According to the naval regulations, the base chief of the fifth-level branch has the right to recruit no more than 100 sailors by himself, and only needs to submit the information of these people to the intelligence department to review the origin.
But there is a system of its own. In the future, the number of seamen here will definitely exceed 100, and it will be very soon.
Then, it is very necessary to raise the branch level.
In the navy, there are only two ways to upgrade a branch rank.
The first is that the place where the branch itself is built is a strategic location. Compared with the G5 branch in New World, it is directly defined as a first-class branch as soon as it is built.
The second is to rely on the branch's merit to upgrade. Take the fifth-level branch as an example, if you want to be promoted to the fourth-level branch, the total bounty for killing or arresting needs to reach 20 million.
For Li Yan, the first method is equivalent to talking in vain, and he can only rely on the second method.
And if you want to reach 20 million, you have to go farther out to sea and go to more places for pirates.
"Oh, after all, it still lacks strength!"
Sighing slightly, Li Yan picked up his saber and walked quickly to the training ground.
Li Yan's orders were no longer needed. After realizing the benefits of the gravity chamber, the ten sailors took the initiative to drill into the training ground whenever they had time, which made Li Yan feel helpless.
After four days of sailing, Li Yan originally ordered them to rest for half a day, but what happened?
After Li Yan came to the training ground, he found that all these guys had already been practicing there.
However, their current training content is still basic movements such as push-ups, squats, etc. This problem can only be solved when the instructor given by the system arrives.
Shaking his head, Li Yan started training after setting his exclusive No. 4 compartment to six times the gravity.
Three days later...
"Shave!"
With a low voice, Li Yan quickly disappeared from the spot and appeared three meters away.
Don't look at the distance of three meters that he only moved with all his strength, but this is not bad under six times the gravity.
For the past three days, Li Yan has only practiced kendo for two hours a day, and the rest of the time has been spent on the practice of Navy Six Forms - Shaved.

Although Li Yan also re-learned shaving, he also thought about practicing the other six styles, but his experience and memory of the six styles were all erased, and he only retrained shaving in the following year, and There is no other five-style cultivation method.
"Looks like, why don't you trouble the old man to go?"
As he walked out of the gravity room, Li Yan muttered to himself.
"Colonel, there are two boats coming from the dock, one is a prison boat and the other is a private boat!"
"I know!"
The prison ship Li Yan knew about it, and it was almost time to think about it.
But what about the private boat?
Putting the cloak behind him, Li Yan walked quickly towards the pier.
At the same time, on the pier.
Lieutenant Colonel Hyde approached with a small boat with several sailors.
No way, this pier is too small, and the prison ship is even bigger than the Luo Lan company's ship, so it can't be docked at all.
However, Lieutenant Colonel Hyde was a little dumbfounded after going ashore.
After all, the last time he came here was more than a month ago, and he was responsible for picking up a few sailors stationed here.
Therefore, Hyde remembered very clearly that the Eighteenth Branch only had a dilapidated house near the coast that could even leak.
But what about now?
The broken house is gone, and then there are brand-new office buildings, naval dormitories and other buildings in the more internal places, and there are even several construction sites that are in full swing.
The most important thing is that one of the construction sites being started is on the coast, and it looks like it is either a shipbuilding or a maintenance dock.
This thing is something that a fifth-level branch can have?
Outrageous... simply outrageous!
A few minutes later, when Hyde was still looking at the Eighteen Branches in surprise, Li Yan finally arrived at the pier.
"Colonel Li Yan, I'm Lieutenant Colonel Hyde of the Rogue Town Branch!"
After seeing Li Yan, Hyde immediately stood upright and saluted.
"Hello, my subordinates are pressing people over, I will trouble you this time!"
"It should be!"
After a while, UU Reading Larnas had already brought people and pressed the seven pirate crew members and the still-breathing Captain Bill over.
However, at this moment, an accident happened!
"Colonel, look over there!"
Larnas, who had just walked in front of Li Yan, suddenly saw something, and then shouted loudly.
Li Yan turned around and looked towards the sea. A ship was heading towards this direction more than ten kilometers away. Although he couldn't see what the flag on that ship was, it was clear that it was a black flag!
"Pirates!"
"Larnas, hand over the people to Lieutenant Colonel Hyde, and everyone will get on board immediately!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
Hearing the order, Larnas immediately waved to the back, signaling the others to push the pirates up and hand them over to Lieutenant Colonel Hyde. At the same time, two of the sailors had quickly boarded the small warship docked on the pier, doing Prepare for departure.
"Colonel Li Yan, do you need my help? Although there are not many sailors on the prison ship, there are more than 30 people!"
"No, Lieutenant Colonel Hyde is still in charge of guarding the prison ship. If the prisoners take the opportunity to escape, the fun will be great. As for those pirates, leave it to our Eighteenth Branch to deal with it!"
"Okay, call me anytime if you need to!"
After thinking about it for a while, Huan De nodded, after all...
Prison ships can never have an accident
A minute later, when the Apple Pirates were all delivered, Li Yan boarded the warship with the seamen of the eighteen branches.
However, just as he was about to order the departure, the private boat that was docked on the dock at the same time...
"This colonel, if you can, why don't you let the old man join me?"
