Chapter 522 Let Them See How Powerful We Are
Various materials from Hongshaling appeared in the Island Alliance, which had a huge impact on the existing business structure. Huge profits flowed into the Holy Tree Island continuously, and many people were jealous.
Especially after the appearance of the forest's breath, the obvious effect of restoring youth made the nobles everywhere extremely crazy.
In the Island Alliance, because power is more concentrated, the wealth of this place is also concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people. The transaction of high-end luxury goods is far more profitable than that of the Kingdom of Rusya.
On this day, another caravan was dispatched, but next to this caravan, there were some larger ships.
These ships are more than twice as large as ordinary ships, and there are gun barrels on them, all integrated into the ship. These are new pneumatic guns. In addition to transporting shells to the ship, there is no need to do anything else.
"Hey, this overseas is overseas, and there are so many pirates."
Several soldiers sat on the bow and chatted. This ship is controlled by plant brains, and they don't need to do anything at all. The reason why a few soldiers stayed on the ship was to prevent any accidents.
The captain's neural brain can directly control the ship, but if the captain encounters an accident, he will let other people take control in turn. Others are actually substitutes, after all, this is a ship.
A ship is not an airship. If the airship is not damaged, the people inside will not encounter accidents. Once it is shot down, there are not enough people on the airship to die. On the ship, it is possible that a few people die and the ship is fine.
"Aren't there a lot of robbers on our side?" A soldier next to him threw down two cards and said.
"Speaking of which, this poker invented by the lord is really interesting, and there are so many ways to play."
A soldier standing on the railing in front of him who was blowing the sea breeze rolled his eyelids: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Are you bored if you don't encounter any accidents?"
"Yes, captain, it's really boring. Why are there no pirates as soon as we come out? Are they scared?"
The captain said unhappily: "Our warship is sailing for the first time, how could they know. You know, they will know after a battle." The other soldiers scratched their heads, as if that was the case.
At this moment, a soldier on the mast suddenly shouted loudly: "A fleet has appeared, it's pirates."
The captain stood up and walked to the back: "See, the pirates are here. Let them taste our power this time."
"Hmph, these damn pirates, our fleet has been robbed by them several times. If they hadn't just come here, they really thought they were easy to bully." At the beginning, those ships were used by Chi Nan for experiments.
In fact, it was not his own soldiers who controlled the ships, but some local natives. But even so, his fleet was robbed and even the ships were towed away. As soldiers of Hongshaling, they were still very angry. It was so uncomfortable to hold this breath in my heart. Now that I can finally see these pirates, it's time to retaliate.
The captain snorted coldly: "Do you really think these are ordinary pirates? Ordinary pirates will tow away our ships when they find that they can't control them. This must be done by other kingdoms around, or even the three major families."
Just like some nobles would raise many bandit groups, this is also a reason. In fact, they had already discovered that, except for a few, most of the pirates here had inextricable ties with the surrounding forces.
Otherwise, why were their ships the most likely to have accidents in this sea area, and they suddenly had accidents. "Captain, they are already within our range, and it is expected to be five minutes."
"Okay, everyone be prepared to resist the impact, be ready for combat, and aim at the southeast." The captain quickly gave orders.
"Captain, you don't have to say it, just give the order in your heart, although it is more handsome."
"Shut up, are you the captain or am I the captain."
The soldier muttered dissatisfiedly: "Humph, you only know how to show off, wait, when there are more ships, I will also be the captain, I will definitely be more handsome than you." The people around laughed when they heard this.
At the same time, a fleet on the opposite side also discovered their existence. After all, there is nothing to block the sea surface, it would be strange if such a large fleet target could not be discovered.
"Captain, we have spotted a fleet ahead. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the fleet of the Holy Tree Island."
A well-mannered guy who doesn't look like a pirate at all said. In his hand, he was holding a low-quality telescope. Needless to say, this was sold by Chi Nan again. Although the quality is not good, it sells very well.
The captain also picked up his telescope and looked into the distance: "This thing is really good. In the past, people could only see with their eyes. Now with this thing, everyone is a lookout. Yes, that's right, that's the flag of the Holy Tree Island. Brothers, get ready, there's work to do."
"Their boats are really good. They don't need sails or oars, they can move by themselves, but we can't control them. It would be great if we had such a boat. But this boat is not without its shortcomings. It's too slow."
Not far away, another pirate member said disdainfully: "Do you really think their ship is slow? It's because there are too many goods on it. Look at how deep the waterline is. If we also load so many things, no, only half, I don't think you can still be fast." The most important thing for a pirate ship is speed.
"Shut up, everyone, get closer immediately, let them see how powerful we are."
A group of pirates exchanged howling, like wolf cubs. The gentle guy said indifferently: "Then it's up to you next. For the rest, follow the old rules."
"Don't worry, we have cooperated for so many years. Of course, I know that after the wealth is sold, half will be given to us, and the ship will belong to you, but when you make this kind of ship in the future, you must equip us with a part."
"Okay, then everything else depends on you." The gentle man walked towards the rear cabin. In this kind of battle, it is very dangerous for someone like him who has no strength to be on the deck and be affected.
Although their robberies have been very successful in the past few days, in fact, many people have died in resistance. He was just a messenger and didn't want to be one of the dead, so it would be best for him to hide first.
