As we all know, pirates have always been cold, they can sell whatever they can grab, even if they grab a boatload of night pots, they can only sell it, so the samples displayed on the exchange are varied and all-encompassing. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter)
From the needle and thread brain to the entire leather and skeleton of the Sea Dragon, the Milley Atoll Exchange displays a wide variety of goods, but what really piqued Luo Zhengdao's interest was an inconspicuous gadget, a card with a dark dark green back.
"Boss, this card ......"
For just a moment, Luo Zhengdao suddenly felt that this card was very similar to the other cards in the deck, and it was likely to come from the hand of a magic card master from a distant era. When he tentatively asked about the price, the exchange boss replied disappreciatively:
"I mixed in when I received it last year, and I asked the mage to identify it, it's a magical artifact, and I don't know what it's used for. What do you want? Give fifty gold coins. ”
The half-elf beauty is not from a wealthy family, and fifty gold coins is not a small amount for her, without waiting for Luo Zhengdao to speak, Vina Dubov snorted unhappily and said:
"I don't know what use you dare to sell for fifty gold coins?"
"Whoa!"
Hearing the sound, the boss of the exchange gestured to the two customers, Luo Zhengdao looked over, and saw a statement written in lingua franca on the wall next to him, to the effect that the store refused to bargain.
Gold has a price, jade is priceless! Gold is the constant price scale of human beings, and the value of jade is gold that varies from person to person, and can be arbitrarily divided, melted and minted without depreciating its value, and its cost mainly includes the value of mining, smelting and investment, so the price of gold is in a reasonable range. For many people, a piece of jade is not much different from picking up a stubborn stone on the side of the road. For Luo Zhengdao, a half-hung magic card master, a new card is the priceless treasure jade, which is not a priceless treasure that can be measured by the amount of money.
Immediately, Luo Zhengdao waved his hand to stop Vina Dubov from continuing the dispute with the boss, and said categorically:
"Okay, I'll buy it."
"Will!"
Ignoring Vina Dubov's angry cries, Luo Zhengdao repeated his point of view again, saying:
"I bought it!"
A new magic card that has never been seen before is as tempting as the magic card master, and it is no better than the cute and cute little Lori star eye offensive that attracts the strange uncle. Luo Zhengdao would rather be cheeky and pay the bill out of his pocket under the aggrieved gaze cast by Vina, rather than wait a little longer for her to bargain, Luo Zhengdao, who was anxious, thought that the uncle was not bad for money, and he couldn't pay this price for delaying business for money!
"Magic cards?"
Afterwards, the kind words appeased the half-elf beauty who was so angry that she was about to go berserk, Luo Zhengdao returned to the temporary residence on 6, and after closing the door, he couldn't wait to put the card in the palm of his hand. It is also very miraculous, Luo Zhengdao did not use any special power, and as this magic card fell into his hand, it quietly faded the slightly gray protective color on the surface, revealing its true face. Without further analysis, I don't know the specific information of the card, just from the analysis of the characteristics of the card, Luo Zhengdao can roughly know that this is a three-star level magic card, and he has not been in contact with such a high-level magic card since he crossed over, and he can't help but be overjoyed.
Until dinner, Luo Zhengdao couldn't hide the joyful smile in his heart, and the half-elf beauty who was puzzled by this asked with her nose:
"Will, are you obsessed? Why do you keep laughing? ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao noticed the loss of demeanor, coughed, he restrained his exaggerated catharsis, and said:
"No, I just feel so happy."
Not to mention what impression Vina Dubov had of the former Will Needham before someone crossed over, this matter has nothing to do with Luo Zhengdao, since he crossed over, Vina has always felt that he is calm and calm, even if the situation is urgent and panicked, it is only due to a lack of practical experience, and it will definitely change greatly over time. Today's sudden giggling, is it just because of the card you just got so crazy? This was not at all in line with people's usual impression of him, and after tilting her head and thinking for a while, Vina Dubov said tentatively:
"Could that card be the legendary Gambler's Lucky Card?"
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao was inevitably embarrassed, and waved his hand very dejectedly and said:
"Well, that's not it, I ......"
"Boom-"
Just as Luo Zhengdao was racking his brains at the dinner table trying to come up with a reasonable reason, a roar suddenly came from outside. After this period of war experience, he is also very familiar with the war in the New World, and the peculiar sound of the explosion of the stone pine spore powder, Luo Zhengdao can distinguish it with his eyes closed, and immediately he made a judgment and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Concealment, it's shelling!"
The bombardment of Mili Atoll was a natural thing, no matter how strong the dragon's strength was, it was only a wurm after all, and it did not have the spell-casting ability of a dragon, and of course it was impossible to fly, relying only on a body of brute strength and talent of tough scale armor. Looking back at the strong goblin fleet, regardless of the combat power of personnel, the hundreds of guns of a single thirty battleships are enough for an army to drink a pot, not to mention that the opponent is just a wurm! Luo Zhengdao didn't expect a dragon to solve this big trouble for him, but the goblins followed him so accurately and timely, which inevitably made him wonder if there was anyone around him who colluded with the goblins, which made people feel faintly cold on the back of their necks when they thought about it!
"Be nimble with your hands and feet, and go back to the Yangwei."
Beckoning Vena and the others, Luo Zhengdao drew his sword in his hand, and the group hurriedly rushed to the direction of the dock. At this time, there was only one thought left in his mind, he must not be blocked on the shore by the goblins, and there is nowhere to go if he wants to run away in this hellish place!
"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"
How could a place where pirates who dared to keep people and stolen goods to repair and sell their stolen goods could be the residence of a group of good men and women? Ten seconds after the goblin fleet cannon sounded, the counterattack fire of the fortress batteries in Milley Atoll began to fight back, and in an instant, the roar of bursting beans became one after another.
Blocked by the complex rocky terrain on the periphery of the Mili Atoll, the unfamiliar goblin fleet could not get close to carry out the Deng-6 operation, and could only bombard the harbor with cannon fire at the maximum angle, but they soon realized that they had miscalculated.
The guns equipped with goblin battleships are only 12-pounder and 16-pounder long-barreled cannons, which are the absolute main models in the current navies of various countries, and most battleships below the third level are also equipped with these two caliber guns, which can be called affordable and sufficient. However, as the saying goes, people are more than people to death, and goods are better than goods to be thrown, and looking back at the situation in Miley Atoll, the disparity between the heavy guns erected by the shore-based batteries and the guns of the battleships really makes people have the urge to cover their faces and dodge away.
On the turret of Milley Atoll, the smallest caliber artillery can compete with the 12-pounder cannon in terms of range, firing and stone weight, and the 42-pounder long-barreled cannon, which can be called the magic weapon at the bottom of the box, has twice the range of the 12-pounder naval gun and more than three times the weight of the projectile.
Hurriedly turned back to the Yangwei, Luo Zhengdao didn't even have time to breathe for a while, and ordered the sailors to lift anchor and hoist their sails and prepare to set sail. Unexpectedly, a signal flag was raised from the top of a fort near the pier, and then someone was heard shouting:
"Please don't act suspiciously, or we're going to be rude."
Hearing the sound, Luo Zhengdao raised his eyes and looked around, and sure enough, he saw that in the several forts scattered around the anchorage, the muzzles of the black holes had already pointed to the Yangwei. Luo Zhengdao, who secretly screamed badly, had to order the sailors to stop loading ammunition, and he shouted at the battery:
"Rest assured, we've never been friends with goblins, and this is to fend off their attacks."
Shadowy practices such as black eating black are never news in the pirate industry, and believing in other people's promises can lead to an ugly death. Therefore, Luo Zhengdao made such a statement, and the fort did not mean to be credulous, and replied coldly:
"We'll keep your friends safe, and you'd better not do anything to avoid unpleasant things."
How can a person not bow his head under the eaves? At the moment of the great enemy, Luo Zhengdao will not wait to fight with the goblin fleet and roar with the port fortress and fight!
Luo Zhengdao, who was sweating profusely, thought about it and couldn't find a way out, so he could only compromise with the other party and shouted:
"Oh well! I'll keep it as it is. ”
At the same time, outside the port of Milley Atoll, the goblin fleet, which had come prepared, was ready for a full-scale attack. Rather than chasing hide and seek in the Aether Sea with sneaky opponents, attacking dead targets such as island enclaves is the goblins' favorite, and it can also fully use the 6-battle advantage of the Goblin Infantry Legion.
Modo Blackwater, who looked tired, had been making plans for days and had not rested well, and it stared at its bloodshot yellow eyes, pointed at the atoll island in front of it under the shade of the coconut trees with the saber in his hand, and roared:
"Put down the dinghy and the commandos attack. Today we are going to capture that hairless monkey alive and serve the Empire! ”
Hearing this, the goblin warriors were in high spirits, and they shouted in unison:
"Long live the Empire! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Senate! ”
Rising from the poor ravines of the Lord 6 to become the new overlord, the Second Goblin Empire paid a terrible price in a series of battles to overthrow the Bright Dynasty, and then they adopted a mode of concentrated attack on the human empire, which was in a state of extreme internal friction and the nobles were busy tearing each other down.
Despite this, the numerical superiority of the human army still caused great losses to the goblins, and in order to wield the assault effect of the elite troops to break through the total collapse with one click, the most elite and powerful goblin warriors were specially selected and formed into brigade units, which are the goblin commandos who enjoy the highest priority supply of weapons and equipment and the highest material treatment. The soldiers of the human army are mainly conscripted peasant soldiers, only the private soldiers and samurai raised by the nobles are all professional soldiers, and the huge and bloated semi-professional army under the banner of the Empire of Light looks vulnerable in front of the goblin commandos armed to the teeth, like a hot dinner knife cutting through butter, without feeling the slightest resistance.
