Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 296: Capitulation
Chapter 296 Surrender
"Twenty-six rudders, half sail ..."
"Yes, turning the rudder twenty-six, lower half-sail!" Old Cod at the helm responded loudly, turning the steering wheel hard, and the bow slowly turned to the left. On the mast, several sailors with agility skillfully rolled up the fully loaded sails ...
Dry rain on the sea, the horizon of Hanayabarta archipelago finally appeared on the distant sea level. Schumacher took a sigh of relief, ordered the helmsman to adjust the direction, and led the fleet to the slave Bit Port in the cold rain. go with.
It's 6:15 in the morning. It looks like there will be no sun today. I just hope that the drizzle will stop when we reach the slave Bit Port, or we have to delay the day to unload. This is not a question of whether the springboards on the ship will cause trouble for the unloading slaves on rainy days, but most of the goods and merchandise transported on board are not waterproofed, so they cannot be unloaded on rainy days.
The gray-black animal skin poncho was dripping with rainwater continuously, Schumacher looked up and looked at the sky, and estimated that the slaves Bit Port should be at noon. Schumacher, who spent most of his life at sea, estimates this very accurately based on his experience. Looking back at the fleet under his command, Schumacher couldn't help raising a hint of pride. This is the northern fleet of Chickadee Chamber of Commerce and the most powerful fleet in the northern seas. I can be the leader of this fleet in my lifetime, this life is worth it.
It takes 22 days to 26 days to get from the Hidegold Bay to the Kingdom of Cheythia, because the archipelago where the Kingdom of Cheythia is located is more southerly. Chickadee Chamber of Commerce has researched that if you do not see the land on the sea boat, fifteen days will easily make the sailors and seafarers feel irritable, and in about twenty days it will become desperate and brutal, and it is extremely easy to get into trouble. It's often a simple matter to kill someone without a word.
So Chickadee Chamber of Commerce's Northern Fleet first arrived in the Kingdom of Xia Yisha to complete the spice trade. For this reason, sailors and crew members who have just sailed to the sea have more patience and obedience to orders, and it is easier to control. Although the sea route to the Kingdom of Cheythia is long enough to arrive before the situation gets worse, then the sailor and seafarer can be calmed down after the Cheysia Kingdom has rested for ten days, and it can be ensured for Hanayabarta archipelago within ten days. The fleet was safe.
It will take more than 20 days from Hanayabarta kingdom to Hidegold Bay, but it will take only ten days to sail from the archipelago to the coast of Grindia Continent. The next ten days will be along the mainland coastline towards Hidegold Bay, plus the sailors and sailors in the fleet After spending two months at sea, the homesick is not eager to make trouble. This is a very clever and practical sea fleet trick that Chickadee Chamber of Commerce has explored as the overlord of the sea.
There are 67 seaboats in the Chikd northern fleet that arrived at Hanayabarta archipelago this time. Immediately before departure, Chickadee Chamber of Commerce deliberately dispatched 22 large ocean-going merchant ships to join it. The reason was in a letter in the fleet leader Schumacher's room.
The glass war with the Trimble Kingdom made Chickadee Chamber of Commerce very weak. Although the armed forces group formed by the sailors and seafarers did not have much loss, the high-end combat power of Chamber of Commerce lost two Level 1 Great Sword Master and seven Gold Swordsman. , This is almost the Chamber of Commerce rack on the fire. Fortunately, the Great Young Lord Surreyham of Chamber of Commerce made a good plan to reverse the unfavorable situation of the Trade Union army and won the command of the Alliance Army. The chairman of Twinhead Dragon Chamber of Commerce Combright was convinced that after the war, Urubaba Dukedom transferred to Chickadee Chamber of Commerce to do Territory, finally did not let Chickadee Chamber of Commerce busy.
However, although Chickadee Chamber of Commerce has obtained Urumba Dukedom as Chamber of Commerce Territory, it is facing a very severe situation. As we all know, Ulubaha Dukedom is a poor country and a mountain country. The biggest difficulty is that the cultivated land area is insufficient to produce food Insufficient to fill the belly of the people, so Urumba Grand Duke(s) set up two employment Legion in order to eat and eat, one is to earn some gold coin(s), and the other is to reduce the food burden.
As for the Dukedom people, in order to feed their stomachs and go to the sea to be a pirate and go up a mountain to be a pirate, the former Ulubach Grand Duke(s) did not care at all, anyway, he was not interested in receiving taxes from these poor clinking Dukedom people. At that time, it would be better to find more employers for the two employees who hired Mercenary Group. That was the big business for money.
Now the two in Urumbaha Dukedom hire Mercenary Group and become the biggest burden of Chamber of Commerce. The crimson Legion and the three-color sword Legion are compiled on a small scale, only 24,000 people, but the two Legion are nearly five Ten thousand people plus their family members and relatives have almost 200,000, which is almost a quarter of the total population of Dukedom. In the past, Urubaha Grand Duke(s) could not care about the family members of these Legion soldier(s). In his eyes, these Legion soldier(s) are cannon fodder for making money for him, and the salary that gives them a living is a great kindness.
Now they are Chickadee Chamber of Commerce, they do n’t want the soldier(s) of these two Legions to be as loyal as they were to the former Urubanha Grand Duke(s). They not only need to reorganize the two Legions into regular Legion, but also need the loyalty of soldier(s) . Therefore, not only should the military discipline be rectified, but also the families of these soldier(s)s. It's just that the glass war made Trade Union's food prices rise rapidly, just like a bucket. In particular, after the war, the attitudes of various countries towards Trade Union changed from closeness to prevention, which cut off most of the commercial routes, such as grain and iron ore, which were included in the embargoed materials. As a result, the food price of Trade Union could not be lowered.
Uru Baha Dukedom, what Chickadee Chamber of Commerce Territory needs most now is food. With food, Chickadee Chamber of Commerce can gather the hearts of the mountainous people, such as those development plans formulated by Great Young Lord Surreyham. To change the poverty situation in Ulu Baha Mountain, as long as two or three years, Chamber of Commerce Territory can be self-sufficient, and there are even a lot of income to be credited.
But the problem is that Chickadee Chamber of Commerce can't buy food from countries all over the world with money now. All the food that can be bought is high-priced food. Even Chickadee Chamber of Commerce can't bear the wealth. The reason why more than 20 large ocean-going merchant ships were transferred to the northern fleet was to hope that one million Pu'er food could be purchased from Hanayabarta kingdom. (One Pu'er is equal to one hundred pounds, and the unit of Grindia quantity has evolved from a 100-pound sack made of puerma woven.)
The letter put in the room of Schumacher, leader of the Northern Fleet, was hand-written by Chairman Chickadee Chamber of Commerce to Hanayabarta kingdom King Luther III. The letter requested Luther III to see that Chickadee Chamber of Commerce has always maintained good friendship with Hanayabarta kingdom and agreed to sell grain to Chickadee Chamber of Commerce. No way, such a large amount of grain trade must be obtained with the consent of Luther III, for which Chickadee Chamber of Commerce also specially prepared a large number of precious gifts to be dedicated to Luther III.
The fleet sails along the slow mantle of the channel leading to NuBit Port. Schumacher standing on the platform looked at the islands shrouded in the smoky rain not far away, wondering why he didn't see the slaves working on the island at this time. Did the slave owners Aristocrat(s) show kindness, fearing that the slaves were In this weather, they are very cold, so they are not allowed to work out? After thinking about it, Schumacher laughed at himself involuntarily, no matter how much he did, the slaves did not do their own offense ...
The decks of merchant ships are crowded with sailors and sailors. These sailor crews drifting at sea prefer to come to this kingdom of slavery than the kingdom of Xia Isia. Besides, the quality of the women in the brothel alone, Hanayabarta kingdom is many times better than the Kingdom of Xia Yixia. Most of the women in the Kingdom of Xia Yixia who were welcoming customers at the docks were the families of fishermen and farmers, all of them tanned with black, fishy and earthy smells.
The women in the brothels on Hanayabarta kingdom are all slaves from Grindia Continent. They are cheap, and there are many people, enough for the sailors and crew members of the fleet to die for a few days and nights. The tiredness and boringness of their long voyages.
When he passed Lochio Island, Schumacher finally saw the slave. It was like a family of three. Standing in front of an old stone house on the island, he watched the ship passing by without expression ...
"Strange, how did the slave owners allow the slaves to live together?" Level 1 Great Sword Master Kuchud murmured on the platform.
Chickadee Chamber of Commerce originally had five Great Sword Master offerings, but one was killed when it intercepted the flying fish of Lorist's dawn, and two were lost in the glass war. One was to protect President Chicked from being killed when he was assassinated. The other was deceived by the former Urubanha Grand Duke(s) and was beheaded and killed without any precaution. All that remains now is this Level 1 Great Sword Master Kuchud and the second-level Great Sword Master Udi who is heading to Uru Bahar Chamber of Commerce Territory.
Kuchud Great Sword Master was able to sit in the northern fleet because Chickadee Chamber of Commerce valued the trip to Hanayabarta kingdom to buy food. No surprises were expected. This is why the southern armed forces fleet's Kuchud Great Sword Master was transferred to the north. The fleet came.
"Oh, Great Sword Master doesn't know. This Hanayabarta kingdom also allows slaves to set up families and live together." Old Cod at the helm laughed: "Like old female slaves, those Great Aristocrat(s) will also be allowed to give The slaves are their wives. But they are the rest of the play. There are also some female slaves who have had a big belly, so they just find a slave to be a cheap dad. They can also play when they want to play, that is cheap My father has to guard them outside ... "
"Haha, it seems comfortable to be a Aristocrat(s) in Hanayabarta kingdom. It is really easy for the slaves to raise a manor. All the slaves are in their own hands. What do they want ... "Kuchud Great Sword Master also laughed.
Schumacher shook his head in disapproval. They all replaced themselves as the slave master Aristocrat(s). They did not want to be slaves. What a humiliation and misfortune that day was. However, as the leader of the northern fleet of Chickadee Chamber of Commerce, Schumacher is concerned about whether he can fulfill his mission and reach a food deal with Hanayabarta kingdom, not to sympathize with those humble slaves.
After Shaoyu to the front, there is Golden Shark Island and Duck Island. The slave Bit Port already in the distance can be seen. It may be a relationship of cold rain. There are not a few people on the dock, and several roads along the coast. The trestle on which the ship was parked was empty on both sides.
"What's the matter, this slave Bit Port is so deserted, what's the matter?" Old Cod at the helm froze for a moment.
"Isn't it okay with so many seats?" Schumacher rolled his eyes: "Did you not get the news before the voyage, all the slaves Aristocrat(s) of Hanayabarta kingdom joined forces to attack the Silowas Islands of Andinak Kingdom, which is hostile to us Chamber of Commerce What Count's Territory? Now that there are no boats and few people here, it is likely that they have benefited and dispatched again. "
This is a very good and powerful reason that no one can dispute.
But the closer to the slave Bit Port, the more sailors and crew members squeezed onto the deck. Everyone can't wait to get off the boat early to have fun.
"Well? How did the slaves Aristocrat(s) take the time to set up a hill beside the dock? Is that a pyramid? Why use it?" Old Cod at the helm felt curious, should it be a pyramid? Do those slaves Aristocrat(s) want such a huge hill-like pyramid in the dock tower?
With the distance getting closer, Kuchud Great Sword Master, who was watching the pyramid, suddenly took a sigh of cold air, and then the whole person started to choke.
"What's wrong?" Schumacher asked.
"So, that's the human head ... all, all yes, yes, it's the human, the human head, the human head, the gold that is put together, the pyramid ..." Kuchud Great Sword Master finally uttered a sentence.
"What did you say?" Schumacher plopped to the right, looked up, and felt that a stream of cold water was pouring down from his head. The whole person became cold, as if falling into an ice cave ...
The fleet is only a hundred meters away from Nu's Bit Port's pier and is still close. The 30-meter-high pyramid built on the beach on the right side of the pier is in sight. Pyramids are not rare. There are many pyramid-shaped buildings in the remains excavated by Grindia Continent, but most of them are mausoleums. But this pyramid built beside the slave Bit Port pier is composed of heads from top to bottom ...
These heads are obviously anti-corrosive, and the despair, pain, and crazy expression before the death are still on the pale faces. This is the case for a human head, and it is the same for hundreds of thousands of human heads. The visual shock of the completed pyramid is so strong, especially the transparent rubber cane juice is poured between these heads. It looks like there are countless human heads in a large pyramid-shaped crystal ...
All the sailors and crew members on the deck of the whole fleet are silent. They only feel that their hands and feet are cold and indifferent. An inexplicable fear comes out of their hearts, their teeth are scratching, their hands and legs are scratching, and the whole person is scratching ...
A lot of brave sailors and crew have seen the deaths of hundreds of people, and some of them have climbed out of the dead, but in the face of this huge pyramid, no one can keep it. They were embarrassed, they stared blankly at the pyramid of the human head, forgetting their responsibilities, what to do and what to do ...
More than a dozen sea vessels collided because of the daze and mistakes of the controller, and the entire fleet was entangled.
Schumacher looked back and was about to order the fleet to rectify the ranks, but he heard a whining sound of horns echoing over the slave Bit Port.
Countless well-equipped soldier(s) swarmed into the dock and waited in array. Among them, countless ballista was pushed to the forefront, and the huge bolt shining with cold light was aimed at the fleet for launch.
The faces of Schumacher and Kuchud Great Sword Master changed greatly, followed by horns on both the Golden Shark Island and Duck Island. There were long soldier(s) queues and weird rows of vehicles on the island. Then there was a clarion call from the rear of the fleet, and seven or eight large sea vessels blocked the maritime passageway for the fleet to enter the port. Chickadee Chamber of Commerce's Northern Fleet has become one of them.
Lorist took Engelich and Shuss Great Sword Master to the pier, facing the chaos of the chaotic fleet, Chunlei: "Abandon the weapon to spare your life, disembark and surrender!"
All Norton Family soldier(s) yelled in unison: "Abandon the weapon and let it surrender! Discard the weapon and let it surrender! ..."
The northern fleet responded silently ...
Lorist waved his hand, and the horn sounded again.
The front row of thunderbolt catapult of Golden Shark Island and Duck Island threw the first batch of burning fire shells towards the ship-free waters behind the fleet, spanning a distance of more than 400 meters, and nearly a hundred fire bombs hit In the water, waves of water several meters high were hit.
Schumacher's face was pale: "What to do?"
Kuchud Great Sword Master clenched his teeth: "No way, at least one on the dock is Great Sword Master, and Murderous Qi is heavy on my body. I am afraid I am not his opponent ..."
Schumacher turned to look at the sailor crew on the deck. No one dared to look at him. In the face of the huge pyramid of the head, almost everyone had lost the courage to resist, and now fell into the trap and was surrounded by In this case, resistance is the only way to go.
Schumacher bowed his head suddenly, and issued his last command as the fleet leader: "Down the sail, fly the white flag, dock, we surrender ..."
...
"
