Law of the Devil Chapter 113: [It ’s difficult to be in the house]

Chapter 113 [Difficult to Be a Master]

Poor Captain Jack Sparrow is standing outside the castle, with several cavalry on his side, the spear in his hand has held him.

Nothing else, just because this guy's dressed up ... It's just too blatant, too arrogant. Just a line inscribed on my face: I am a pirate!

This has to be said to be due to Dewey's credit. The design he designed for Captain Jack Sparrow is entirely based on the captivating Pirate Captain in the famous movie of the previous life, especially the head. Red turban, moustache on chin, and dark circles ...

A strangely dressed man came to the surroundings of Rolling Castle and was immediately stared at by the patrolling Guardian cavalry. Since Du Wei was **** twice, the guarding power of the Rolling family increased. Several times. If it weren't for Jack Sparrow's token in his hand, he would have been **** by these cavalry.

"Ah! My captain, you can count it!" Du Wei hurriedly ran out of the castle with a big laugh, watching the pirate captain being pointed at by a cavalry with a spear, couldn't help it. A moment. Below is the guard knight immediately jumping off the horse and bowing down, "Master, this guy is dressed strangely, does not look like a good person, but holds the token of His Excellency Knight Jolyn in his hand, we doubt him ..."

"Don't doubt, this is my man, let go of him soon." Du Wei waved. A knight retreated. Dewey looked at the nervous Jack Sparrow, walked to him and patted him on the shoulder, and smiled, "You are finally here. Is your work done?"

The captain of the pirates had already learned about Du Wei's power, and he bent down quickly and accompany the laughter: "Master, the situation is very successful. Although there was something wrong in the middle, but Miss Joanna took the shot and it was all resolved. And the results are much better than previously expected. "

Du Wei glanced around: "This is not the place to talk."

Then he took Captain Sparrow to his study.

Entered the study. Have you seen the rich scenes of the Imperial Wuxun family in this crude pirate? The sterling silver candlesticks made him almost blindfolded, and then the people sent up the good black tea from the south, and that sterling silver tea set made Sparrow nervous.

The servant was driven away, and the door was closed. Du Wei unhurriedly cast a magic of silence, so that the conversation in the room did not have to worry about spreading. Then I sat in a chair. His face was positive: "Say it."

"Yes!" Captain Sparrow quickly stood up, put down his tea cup, and whispered, "This time, for a total of three months, we swept nineteen islands in the eastern sea. Joe Miss Anna took the shot, those stubborn guys were thrown into the sea to feed the sharks. The people gathered in the rest, there were a total of 421. There were a total of 32 ships, including a Neptune-class battle. Ship! "

"Neptune?" Du Wei was slightly surprised.

In the Roland Empire. Ships on the sea are divided into four levels according to the displacement, in order from large to small: Neptune, Neptune, Jellyfish, and Sea Soul.

The Poseidon-class ship is the largest, and it can be called a first-class main ship in the Imperial Navy. For example, Du Wei's old man, Earl Raymond led the navy's southward expedition, and triumphantly returned to the capital, the flagship "Dandong". Is a Poseidon-class giant ship. The captain had more than 300 steps, about 150 meters. The maximum carrying capacity can carry a total of 800 crew members and combatants. In this world, it can be called a giant at sea.

Slightly smaller is the Neptune class. The length of the ship can reach a maximum of 100 meters, usually about 80 meters, and can carry 500 combatants. It is also equipped with a number of long-range attack weapons such as crossbows.

In this era, because there were no gunpowder and heat weapons, there was no such gun. The so-called ground crossbow. It's just some giant crossbows. Launched with a noose, the range can reach about one kilometer. It has a strong penetrating power and can shoot iron plates. Often when it is launched at sea, if it hits the target, it can pierce the opponent's hull and cause damage to the opponent directly.

In this era, there are no long-range attack weapons such as artillery. Only Poseidon-class giant ships can be equipped with a small number of magic guided cannons. They are long-range weapons similar to artillery, but they are extremely expensive to build. Although the power is great, the artillery of the same kind as that of Dewey was known, but the price is low, and it requires expensive magical materials and profound magical principles. It is even said that some manufacturing processes have been lost.

Because of these reasons, in this world, the so-called naval battles are basically at a low level. Combatants who rely on the captain for long distances use throwing or crossbow weapons to kill opponents, and then rely on the hull ’s The angle of impact hits the opponent's ship, causing the opponent to lose momentum, and then fights "side-to-side battle", landing on the opponent's ship against the combatants on the ship and fighting hand-to-hand.

In this case, the ship's carrying capacity is large, and it can carry more combatants, and it has become the main force in naval battles.

Although there are many pirates in the eastern waters of the Roland mainland, most of them are ships of medium size or below, which often cannot compete with the regular fleet. Even some large armed merchant ships have the ability to protect themselves against pirates.

A Neptune-class ship is extremely rare for pirates!

Due to Du Wei's doubts, Captain Sparrow quickly explained: "It seems that the big ship has a young head, and the ship's hull is a bit worn. It takes a lot of effort to repair. The batch we captured The pirates are a relatively large part of the East China Sea. This ship is said to be originally a warship in the navy. After reaching the end of its service life, it was bought by a wealthy merchant to become a merchant ship, and was robbed by the pirates at sea. /

Du Wei nodded. If even a pirate could easily get a Neptune-class ship, what else would the Imperial Navy mix? !!

"Now among the 32 ships, there is one of the Neptune class and six of the Sea slug class. Including my Black Pearl. It is also a sea slug class. The rest are all sea soul class boats, only It can't carry a hundred people. But according to the displacement and configuration of these ships, it can barely match the second-line fleet in some empire's eastern navies. Although we have fewer ships and more boats, we have more ships than them. More. "

After listening to Spiro, Du Wei just smiled and said nothing.

This guy is a pirate, after all. Less knowledge.

Compared to the Imperial Navy? That's whimsical.

Du Wei ’s son is of navy origin, and he was promoted all the way by taking the merits of the expedition south expedition. For example, the return of the last triumph, although the expedition fleet led by Earl Raymond had only 35 ships. But there are five Neptune-class ships, and the rest are all Neptune-class!

Although Du Wei has obtained many of these ships, most of them are small boats. If it is really compared with the Imperial Navy, it is far from enough.

But Du Wei didn't want to do a great cause like starting a military rebellion, such a fleet. As long as it is honestly used for maritime trade, it can almost sweep the eastern seas without messing with those navies.

After Sparrow said this, his face was embarrassed, and he whispered, "It's just. The development of things has somewhat exceeded our expectations, so now there are some problems. We can't solve them. Now the fleet is all Stopped at Walker Harbor in the south of Lille, where Miss Ruolin presided over the situation and quickly sent me back to you ... "

"You can tell, what's wrong?" Du Wei frowned.

"Money." Sparrow sighed. "Our original plan is to collect the pirates, and then take out the wealth they have collected for years of robbing at sea, and then use the money to maintain the fleet consumption. But the problem is ... "

At this point, Sparrow couldn't help sighing: "The problem is. These pirates are too poor."

Looking at Dewey's frown, Sparrow quickly explained: "The maritime military forces in the Empire were already powerful, and in the past few decades, several expeditions in the southern waters have expanded the maritime boundaries of the Empire. Thousands of miles away, this ostentatious act of labor and people hurting their wealth, although it has not brought any obvious benefits to the imperial finances, but the expansion of the southern maritime route has stimulated the empire's maritime trade. Ten times more than ten years ago. Such frequent trade has stimulated the emergence of pirates and allowed them to survive. But after all, it has always been a petty buzz. Because the empire has a huge navy. Once The incident is too big, causing the navy to clear up, and it will cause the small pirates to suffer the worst. More importantly, in recent years, the ocean trade in the eastern seas has decreased, and most of the fleet has been concentrated in the south ocean. East These pirates on the waters have had some difficulties in survival. Naturally, there is not much oil and water to fish. "

Looking at Captain Sparrow seriously speaking such a rationale, as if endorsing, Du Wei could not help laughing: "These things are you thinking of yourself?"

Spiro shook his head, and answered honestly, "No, I haven't read any books. Where can I think of these? All these things were told by Miss Ruolin."

Dewey's eyes lit up.

Rorin? This long-legged girl has a good mind.

Spyrow continued: "This time, the pirates were cleared in the three months at sea, and most of the cleared materials were mostly worthless food and iron. Even if they were sold, they were not worth much. ... But some valuable things, Ms. Ruo Lin has also taken the initiative to sell some of them in Walker Port, and the Navy military in Walker Port, also need some relationship to RBI. After all, many pirates are on the warrant. People, we rashly received these guys, naturally it will inevitably cause others to criticize. Miss Ruolin took the money to pay for the official relationship. In the end, we copied the pirate nests. The bottom is sky-high, and only less than 10,000 gold coins have come out. And for a few months at sea, as long as the ship is maintained and repaired, there are still some broken ships to repair, and the Neptune-class ship, although large, but The degree of damage and aging is even more serious. In addition, more than 400 people have been collected, people have to eat, drink, and support them ... so much money has been saved.

Du Wei heard his scalp numb and waved his hand: "You just say, how much does it cost in total!"

Spirow heard this, and immediately took one from his arms when Ruolin handed him the small book, turned it over, and read to Du Wei: "Thirty-two ships, almost Each of them must be damaged to varying degrees. In view of the current financial problems, if nine of the ships selected by Miss Lin are serious, the repair cost is expected to cost 3,000 gold coins. This is still using your name, and Cheap wood purchased at the Navy Pier Materials Office in Walker Port. Although other ships also need to be repaired, they can still be used for the time being. When the money is enough in the future, plan again. More than 400 people, three months It also cost more than six hundred gold coins to eat and drink Lazarus. This is very economical. If Ms. Lin is afraid to reduce staff costs, otherwise, these newly recruited men will defect. Ms. Ruolin also said, Now that you have changed from a pirate to your own, naturally you can't make another pirate costume. If you wear a tattered dress, you will inevitably shame you and make two new outfits for each of them. The chief's clothes are slightly better ... This removed another two hundred gold The most important thing is that the weapons in everyone's hands are too bad. In the past, they were pirates, and the bees swarmed up and struck each other, which was too ridiculous. Since it is the fleet of the Rollin family, the crossbow cannons, bows, and swords I ’ve seen it. Among the former pirates, there are still poor people who do n’t even have weapons, and even when they encounter an enemy, they pick up any blacksmith ’s hammer or rake on cultivated land. These are all available It ca n’t be used anymore ... In addition, there is also funding for the Navy to open up relations. Almost half of the people we have collected are wanted criminals (when talking about this, Sparrow paused and added the embarrassment. ("Including me"), it took nearly a thousand gold coins to eliminate the wanted order.
