Chapter 725, 2-Step Strategy

After the Prophet Hetuo and his followers agreed on the time to send the ship, Ryan couldn't stand Veronica's pleading and coquetry, and led the crowd directly to the Pearl Seabed near the city of Sartosa. Introduced by the relationship between her and her friend, Veronica directly bought high-quality pearls from local pearl divers. The price was three times lower than that of the outside world. The Holy Grail knights were all very tempted. Soon, the purchase by one person became the purchase of a large group of people. Most of the Holy Grail knights, knight attendants and old guards who followed Ryan to the island could not bear it very quickly. After spending money to buy the finest pearls, even Calad and Antelm couldn't hold back. Seeing that Ryan did not object, the two Holy Grail Knights also took out real money.

There is no way, factory direct sales, quality assurance, if you are not satisfied, you can exchange and refund on the spot, there is no middleman to make the difference, buyers spend less, sellers make more money, only this day, the sales volume is far ahead!

Buy pearls, of course come to Sartosa!

Of course, only Ryan and his group dare to buy pearls directly in this way, because there are thugs and various mercenaries, pirates, and wandering villagers everywhere around the Pearl Sea Ship. People who own wealth, especially those who bought pearls with real gold and silver, as long as the visitor shows a little flaw, they will do it, rob their wealth, take away their gold and silver and turn them into slaves, and by the way Return the pearl to the pearl diver.

This is the traditional performing arts of the residents of Sartosa.

The problem is that Ryan and his party not only look very powerful, but they are also very powerful. Thugs look at me and I look at you. Even the most vicious and desperate pirates dare not do anything for fear of death. The Pirate Code stipulates Killing pays for life and everyone has the right to protect themselves, which means that whoever has the biggest fist is the one who speaks, and what he grabs is his own, but if he loses his life because of it, he deserves it.

After having dinner at the famous Bull's Head Restaurant, Ryan, Veronica, Olika, Callard, Anthelm and the returned Fedmond walked on the Bashir Pier under the dusk, which is The best pier in Sartosa is also the site of Salt Resentment. Her flagship, equipped with more than 100 cannons and more than 800 sailors, is anchored here. , Mrs. Keesler and the Norscans huddled together to play cards, the Imperials and the Bretons huddled together to drink wine, the undead artillerymen and the green-skinned crossbowmen were having a target competition, the ogres and the lizards There were dwarven butchers and dark elf pirates grilling meat.

Perhaps only Sartosa in the world can see this kind of scenery.

In addition, there is no shortage of vendors selling rare treasures from all over the world on the pier, not to mention the old world and the new world, even tea from Aurora, spices from India, and sake from Nibon. Both lacquerware and lacquerware are sold, and under the strict control of Salt Resentment, the Bashir Pier is relatively orderly, with well-equipped pirate crews coming and going.

What displeased Veronica and Olika was that there were many dancers and hotel girls on Queen Bashir's pier. These smart women often wore heavy makeup. When Ryan and others appeared, they immediately realized this. The group of people had money, and they all stuck together: "Sir, hire me, I'm the best at serving people."

"Sir, choose me, my waist is super strong."

"Sir, I will rub someone's back~"

"Sir, choose me, I am the best at playing the flute!"

"Get out of here!" Veronica sneered and spit out more than a dozen torrents of flames from her fingertips, and Witch Garland summoned several skulls made of flames to revolve around her in the blink of an eye.

Scared away all the women who came up: "Honey, you only need my service and Olika's, not theirs, right?"

"Ah, this is the first time I came to Sartosa. Is this the pirate principality you mentioned? I love it!" Ryan's expression was a little excited: "I didn't expect to see so many people with both virtue and art here. The artist has brought me so much positive energy."

"Hahaha~" Callard stroked his beard helplessly: "My king, you don't dare to say such things outside, even as a joke, or you will be impeached."

"It's just a joke." Before Ryan could say anything more, a big man from Kislev came up flatteringly: "Gentlemen, do you need manpower? I'm from the Kislev Bear Gang, Guhuiyanov!"

If Ingrid was present, she must have remembered that this was the Mrs. Keesler who troubled her in Magritte. Due to the unpleasant quarrel with Fogan and his party, Guhuiyanov brought his men to Satu Sha, now works as a dock worker on the docks for a living.

"No, thank you." Ryan shook his head directly, motioning him to go away.

"Okay, it's okay sir, I wish you all your wishes come true within three days!" Seeing that Ryan didn't want it, the big man Kislev flattered and retreated: "Ersun bless you."

"Well, thank you for your blessing, but I really don't need it." Ryan thought that Mrs. Kesler was quite polite: "Let's go, everyone, the place is here."

The Blacksmith Tavern is the largest, busiest, and highest-level tavern in Sartosa. It distributes everything from the simplest Breton ale for a copper coin and a cup and a half to the highest-level fine wine from the high elves. The owner of the tavern is Mr Smith from Empire, he used to be an Imperial Navy (Rick Navy), got fired for serious drinking and stealing, deported, spent a few years coming to Sartosa, Smith nothing else Skill, gambling skills are really good, he won this tavern by throwing dice.

People from all over the Old World gathered in the tavern. Nobles from Tyrell, Estalia, and Araby often met with pirate lords here to discuss how to grant "Private License" and hire these pirates. The pirates went to fight against competitors, so although the lobby on the first floor was simply a scene of brawls and sumo wrestling, there were elite guards at the door on the second floor watching the stairs to prevent the situation from further aggravating. As the owner of the tavern, Smith obviously welcomed it Imperial people, every imperial person who comes here can get a glass of barley wine (produced in Brittany) and a piece of black bread for free, but they put on a bad face for people from other countries.

In the private room on the second floor, everyone was discussing the next strategy against the map, isolating the noise outside.

Inside the room is a long wooden table with two rows of back chairs on both sides.

"Our plan is roughly divided into two steps." Ryan pointed his finger at the coast of Heishui Bay until Haimen Pass: "The first step, we must not rush to attack Bafeng Mountain, Bafeng Mountain is indeed too far away from Haimen Pass Therefore, we can’t rush to march.”

Karard nodded, but the Great Holy Grail raised an objection: "But if this is the case, we will consume more food. Can the army support it?"

"Food consumption is actually second to none. The real trouble in fighting in a bad place is the psychological pressure and discomfort caused by the bad environment." Ryan explained: "Furthermore, the first expedition of such a large army brought With so many cannons and muskets, how to coordinate the tactics of cannon cavalry and how to ensure that there will be no problems with the coordination between the wizard group and the army are all the difficulties we are currently facing. Everyone has never fought like this before. I think everyone is very clear. How Britannia fought before."

"First send a large group of serf infantry regiments to join the battlefield to form a battle line, let the serf archers keep shooting arrows to lure the enemy to fight with the serfs, and then the knights take the opportunity to charge from the side or from behind." Anthelm smiled, the Holy Grail The knight looked quite elegant and easy-going: "Of course, there are many changes... I guess, Your Majesty, you want to use this opportunity to train soldiers?"

"Military training is only one aspect." Ryan shook his head: "Of course, military training is very important, and it is indeed my plan, but more importantly, first of all, this great expedition will be a labor-intensive and relatively long-term expedition. We must win victories from the beginning, and continue to win, so that the soldiers can build up the confidence that they will win. Whether it is from the morale of our entire army or the Britannia in the rear, it is necessary to win consecutive victories at the beginning to make everyone Build confidence in us."

"Secondly, it is military training. The army has come from afar to adapt to the environment, to adapt to coordinated tactics, and to adapt to the tactics and attack methods of the green skins. This is also very important. The skins are generally weak, and most of the coastal strongholds are just a small tribe composed of a few hundred wild green skins, we just use them to train our troops first."

What Ryan said was very correct. Karard, Antelm, and Fedmond all nodded. Indeed, for an expedition of this scale, it is necessary to go up and win a few battles to strengthen the entire army, even the entire kingdom, and the entire old army. This is especially important for the world's confidence in Ryan and in Britannia.

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Veronica came up and said: "Your Excellency of the Holy Grail Knights, I would like to add a few points here. Perhaps for you, glory and faith are the most important. Yes, I also Never said you are wrong, but I think I must emphasize that not everyone is like you, most people participated in this war to gain benefits, tangible benefits, visible and tangible This includes but is not limited to gold and silver treasures, military merits and medals, and even opportunities for promotion and advancement. This is what everyone wants, and only if they get these, will they be motivated! Your Excellencies, eight Fengshan is too far away, too illusory, even if we march at full speed or even forcefully march, it is impossible for the greenskins and ratmen of Bafengshan to fail to spot us..."

"I understand what you mean, Ms. Veronica." Callard expressed his understanding, he nodded: "I am very clear, Ms. Veronica, the Holy Grail and glory are higher pursuits for us, but for us Serfs are different, we can’t use our standards to demand serfs, what they want is to be promoted and get rich, I understand.”

"We also want to get rich, who told you Karard, we knights don't want to get rich?" Anthelm still kept smiling: "Don't think of your situation as us, Karard, let me tell you, knights also want to be promoted, We also want to get rich, ranger knights want to be promoted to kingdom knights, kingdom knights want to be barons, expedition knights want to be favored by ladies, we also want to get rich, conquer badlands, plunder greenskin fortresses, and take their everything."

"That's right, you don't need to talk about chivalry with green skins." Ryan nodded: "And, there is one last reason."

"After we attacked, looted and destroyed all the greenskin strongholds along the entire Black Water Bay, we arrived at Haimen Pass, and then we used Haimen Pass as a base to attack, plunder and destroy all the greenskin strongholds within 80 kilometers of Haimen Pass. Greenskin strongholds and tribes." Ryan pointed his finger at Haimen Pass: "And this is our first step in our strategy. Once this is completed, the entire greenskin tribe in the West Badlands will only become a mess. Can't pose a threat to us, and then we will proceed to the second step of the plan, marching into Bafeng Mountain!"

"Very good." Fedmond took the initiative: "The only question is, does King Belegar agree with our plan?"

"He won't disagree." Ryan said seriously: "We need each other, the dwarves also need victory, and we need it too."

"Very well, shall we do this?" Callard no longer objected: "Right, if... I mean, if Arianaza-Saltwater Hate also joins us, my king, will you plan to How? I find it hard for me to be with pirates..."

"She won't join our operation." Ryan shook his head: "She will be driving to the north soon, and it is said that her biological father is looking for an ancient treasure at the ice lake bend near Obion Island. Artifact—the Scourge of Kraken, and she will pay the price for the Norscans and Chaos Beasts who slaughtered marine life."

"Not only that, Ostland has already planned a very large military operation next year. Oleg von Zhukov, the eldest son of Elector Vamir, will lead a huge army of 20,000 people , with the assistance of the pirate fleet of Salt Resentment, attacked Norsca, and this time it is said that Oleg not only planned to attack the coast of Norsca, he even planned to go deep into the hinterland of the Norsca Mountains to attack the inland of Norsca. The alliance venues and towns, as well as the altars with ancient history." Fedmond also said: "In this case, the Salt Resentment will definitely not join us, and I also suggest that we should not spend the night in Sartosa , leave as soon as possible, the Landuin is already waiting in the open sea, we can take a boat directly from Queen Bashir's wharf."

"That's right, I think so too...then let's do this!" Ryan finally made a decision: "Don't stay any longer, let's go!"

"yes!"

……… I am the dividing line that everyone wants to get rich………

In the old world, on the south bank of Blackwater Bay, the territory of the Greenskin tribe "Jieya", Giant Tower.

Even in the barren badlands, how the green skins appeared and how they were born is still a mystery, because this race has never had the habit of recording its own history, and the ancient legends passed down by word of mouth have never mentioned and time. Regarding the relevant content, the only thing they want to do is to have a good fight with others, endlessly looking for opponents, and smashing the opponent's door without any reason. If they can't find the enemy in a short time, they Fight to the death with your brothers in the nearest clan

Occupying the giant tower is a large group of wild greenskins and goblins. Regardless of goblins, the wild greenskins are a branch of the greenskins. This group of greenskins is different from the greenskins near the roof of the world. Too much the same, they worship the power of the Prophet even more. This group of wild greenskins never wear any armor, but use simple tattoos and various rough ornaments to fight the enemy with the simplest sticks and stones. Obviously, They have lower defense, but higher attack power, and are never afraid of bleeding and death.

One day at the end of November, the savage green-skinned warlord Gozbad of the Tower of Giants led his savage green-skinned boys along the deserted and lonely coastline, looking for opportunities to fight and delicious food along the way— — fart.

In Gerzbad's view, there are many types of farts, one needs to be roasted and eaten, the other can be eaten raw, and there are also dipping sauces and those that are not suitable for eating.

It is a pity that the farts found by the wild green-skinned warlords today are not very good. Gerzbad stretched out his big hand, grabbed a handful of farts, put them at his nostrils and smelled them: "Let me sniff, this corner What does Da's fart smell like?"

A pungent smell made Gerzbad frowned: "It has an internal smell! But this smell is too strong, you still have to bake it to taste!"

"Boys! Prepare the fire!"

"Good boss!"

The goblins were busy, but the fire hadn't risen yet, and the sails of the human fleet had already risen from the other side of the sea level.

"Boss! Boss! It's not good! It's not good!" The goblin was so frightened that he threw Grit on the ground and rushed towards Gorzbad frantically: "Yes, there is a boat, it's a big boat!"

"Human shrimp? That's the fluffy boat of human shrimp!" Gerzbad stood up excitedly, and the green-skinned warlord grabbed his ax casually, and chopped the goblin who rushed forward to report the message in two: "It's a human!" Xiami! Hahaha, finally there is a fight!"

"Little ones! We have a rival!"
