Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The villagers saw Jichen returning with his army. Subconsciously, they greeted him, but when they saw the injured soldiers, they became puzzled. And when they noticed the bodies of more than ten pirates on the ground, their confusion grew even deeper.

“Lord, what is this all about?” one of the villagers asked, unable to contain his curiosity.

“Find a flat area and have a few people bury these pirates,” Jichen shook his head and said without further explanation.

The villagers saw that he was in a bad mood and didn’t inquire further. They greeted him and began to move the bodies.

Upon hearing the news of their return, Anina ran out of the house with a look of surprise, holding a roasted meat leg in her hand. But when she saw the scene, she too was taken aback.

She knew these were pirates, the ones she occasionally saw at sea, who liked to raid and plunder, bringing back shiny things. They also enjoyed tying an anchor to people and tossing them into the sea while laughing maniacally. In her eyes, these pirates only burdened the ocean with more waste.

However, earlier in the morning, they were still lively, and now they had turned into lifeless corpses.

Anina, who had a keen sense of perceiving human emotions, felt the somber atmosphere at the scene, and suddenly the roasted meat leg in her hand didn’t seem appetizing anymore.

Jichen smiled reluctantly when he saw Anina and asked, “Is the food here still delicious?”

“Well, it’s very tasty,” Anina replied with a hint of embarrassment, lowering the roasted meat in her hand. “Did you encounter any trouble?”

“Not much trouble. There was a skeletal commander behind those skeletons, and it took quite an effort to deal with it,” Jichen explained.

“I have something 1 wanted to say…”

Seeing the hesitant expression on the Dragon Whale Girl’s face, Jichen’s curiosity was piqued, and he asked, “What is it?”

“Well… it’s nothing,” Anina hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

A slight disappointment flashed through Jichen’s mind, but he still smiled and said, “If there’s anything, feel free to let me know. I’m always ready to listen.”

With that, he turned and walked away.

He had a vague idea of what it might be.

However, rushing things wouldn’t be wise in such matters. It required careful planning.

In this battle against the skeletons, 14 out of 80 pirates lost their lives, leaving only 66 remaining.

This further exacerbated the shortage of personnel on the pirate ship.

With just these 66 pirates, they could barely keep the ship afloat, but conducting the complex work of pirate raids would become difficult.

Fortunately, apart from these pirates, he also had amphibious units like the shallow sea Murlocs and Naga warriors under his command.

Having them temporarily join the forces wouldn’t be a problem.

He brought the remaining pirates back to the pirate ship.

Then, he summoned Panther and handed over the Green Heroic Soul Essence to him.

With a system prompt, the territory gave birth to a true green hero.

[This is a good seedling to become a captain, but it’s best to change his name.]

Feeling the earth-shaking changes in his body, the Panther looked at Ji Chen with extreme gratitude and knelt down on one knee.

“My Lord, thank you for your generosity and kindness. I will forever serve you faithfull.”

Ji Chen smiled faintly.” You deserve it. Since you’ve become a hero, you should change your name.”

What should it be called?

On land, they were called Panthers.

But in the sea… how about Sea Panther?

The thought almost made him burst into laughter.

After a moment of contemplation, he settled on a name.

“From now on, you shall be known as Jack Sparrow!”

“Jack Sparrow…” Sparrow murmured, his excitement evident. “Thank you, sir, for giving me a name! Sparrow will spread your glorious reputation throughout the vast ocean!”

Jichen nodded in satisfaction at his reaction.

But then, another thought occurred to him.

Since the captain’s name had been changed, the name of the pirate ship should also be changed.

He pondered for a moment, searching for a name that would suit the ship’s character, and ambition, and sound pleasing.

After some contemplation, a ship name emerged.

New Moon.

Named after his territory, the New Moon Islands.

It had a certain aesthetic appeal and uniqueness.

He believed he still had some sense of propriety.

He didn’t want his ship to encounter all sorts of strange events and crises.

He didn’t choose names like Black Pearl, White Pearl, or Flying Dutchman.

He didn’t want his ship to attract unnecessary attention and trouble.

After instructing Sparrow to bring the remaining pirates to speed up the repairs.

Ji Chen returned to his territory.

Before setting sail, he needed to take care of some matters in his territory to ensure that things would run smoothly in his absence and avoid any major problems.

Firstly, there was the issue of food.

Currently, the territory had enough food to sustain for about seven to eight days. If rationed properly, it could last for ten days.

However, maritime expeditions were unpredictable, and he might be held up by unforeseen circumstances, preventing him from returning in a timely manner.

Therefore, he needed to increase the food storage in the territory as a precautionary measure.

The sea rice cultivation was still in the seeding stage, so it couldn’t be relied upon for now.

The native tribes could contribute to the food supply through hunting and fishing, helping to alleviate the food problem. The sea bass fishery could also provide a stable source of food.

“Increase the food reserves to half a month or even twenty days, that would be much safer.”

“With twenty days’ worth of supplies, no matter what happens, 1 will definitely be able to return from the outside.”

Accompanied by his army, Jichen ventured out once again to hunt for prey.

They brought back the hunted animals to the territory, and the meat was quickly processed into jerky by Wilus and his team for long-term preservation.

The fishing resources around the New Moon Islands were abundant, with dense schools of fish of various species, often reaching extraordinary sizes.

Ordinary large sea fish weighed around five catties, while fish weighing over ten catties were common.

Jichen speculated that the stormy sea area was enveloped by severe storms, making it inaccessible for ordinary human fishing boats.

Over time, the fishing resources accumulated and reached the current level.

Therefore, he also caught a considerable amount of sea fish and turned them into dried fish to increase the reserves.

For two whole days, Jichen tirelessly gathered food from various sources. The food reserves in the territory grew at a rapid pace and filled the warehouses.

Wilus couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear.

For Jichen, a mountain of meat was worth more than gold and silver!

And so, the day of departure drew closer..
