Under the call of the gold coin, all the armed merchant ships in the Emerald City were either requisitioned or hired to assemble.

A large number of crossbow arrows, fuel oil, artillery, etc. were packed and transported to the ship by a huge mechanical crane. But the number of such cranes is limited, and more supplies are being carried onto the ships by the vast number of laborers like ants.

This kind of work pressure, which is twice as busy as the Emerald City's peak trading season, leaves the laborers with no time to rest. Usually a laborer has just loaded a bundle of rockets onto the ship, and before he can catch his breath, the next second he has an extra bag of bulging and heavy grain on his back.

But instead of cursing and complaining in a low voice, as usual, they all looked beaming. Today, the gold coin auction house pays three times the salary, and it also includes three meals today.

Therefore, all kinds of war equipment in the Emerald City are rapidly flowing from the city to the armed merchant ships in the port at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

The Church of Waukin, on the other hand, even wanted to tear down the huge dragon hunting crossbow on the city tower and install it on an armed ship.

Fortunately, it was stopped in time by the dwarven mechanic. Otherwise, this crossbow will go down, regardless of the pirate ship, this kind of armed ship that is just a conversion of merchant ships will definitely be torn apart by the huge inertia of the dragon hunting crossbow.

In addition to a large number of hired mercenaries to requisition ships, the Emerald City also offered huge bounties. From the pirate boss to the man behind the scenes, the price is indicated in detail.

Seeing the string of zeros on the bounty list, it is estimated that if the "sea wolf" bandit leader has the blood of a hydra, he will definitely not hesitate to cut off his head to receive the reward.

As for the masterminds behind the scenes, in addition to rewarding the heads of those people, finding out their identities can also get a lot of income. This made those intelligence brokers suddenly active, and 27 magic messengers of various kinds flew out of the Emerald City that day. Even in order to compete for this bounty, two lives have been made.

It can be said that the whole Emerald City is in the service of the Church of Workin today!

"The Wojin Guild is really rich!"

By the time the Templars of Waujin appeared, this consensus had reached its peak.

The Templar Knights, composed of these high-ranking paladins, lit up the eyes of the people who were watching the excitement as soon as they appeared.

Forget about the whole set of magic armor and magic weapons, what is the matter with this golden light that can be called dazzling blessing?

This golden light is not the yellow light of the vulgar thing of gold, but the expression of the extreme condensation of divine power. As the goddess of wealth, the goddess of Waujin naturally tends to the color of gold, so even the blessings he gives to his followers are naturally golden.

With such a strong aura of divine power, I don't know how much wealth the Wojin Church in the Emerald City sacrificed to the goddess of Wolkin in exchange for this high-level magic equipment and top-level blessings.

It can be said that you should not use the [Light Technique] at night, and it is enough to place a Templar Knight directly on each ship.

Of course, in addition to those who are stunned, there are also people who are thundering!

"This is a provocation! This is a naked provocation to me, to my Lord! When a man in black was about to rush out of the alley, he was stopped by several companions behind him.

"Think twice! That's the Knights Templar of the Church of Waukin, and they don't have to breathe when they play legends! ”

"Yes, President! We can't live without you! ”

Finally, under the persuasion of his subordinates, the black hand finally dispelled the idea of entering the kingdom of God in advance.

But looking at the golden cans of gold just walking past his eyes, the black hand couldn't help but be sad and indignant.

"Why! Watching but not stealing, this is the biggest punishment for my black hands!! God of Thieves, what am I doing wrong!! ”

"Is that guy called the Black Hand?" Delia looked at it as if she was aware of it.

"Yes, Lord Shangjin, he is the black hand of the Black Hand Society!"

The Black Hand is a follower of the god of thieves, Meske. He who rules over the shadows, the thieves, and the thieves advocates that "wealth belongs only to those who have the power to acquire it." So He and His followers became mortal enemies of the Goddess of Wealth, and the followers of the God of Thieves would be put to death as soon as they discovered it.

But after Delia is actually in charge of a city, she finds that this kind of thief is inexhaustible in a city. Every time she kills a batch of rats, more "shameless" people head to the burgeoning city of wealth in search of treasure.

On the contrary, because of this large-scale, disorderly entry in a short period of time, it brought more chaos to her city.

Since then, she has tried a different model, keeping one or two large bands of thieves in the underworld that she can control, and using them to maintain stability in the underworld.

The effect of such a model is obvious. Although there are still thieves in the Emerald City, these thieves are well-organized and have a fixed territory, which does not affect the commercial vitality of the Emerald City as a whole.

On the contrary, because of the orderly and planned theft of the thief gang, it gives people a false feeling of "there are no thieves in the Emerald City".

This has won the favor of more chambers of commerce, and commerce is even more prosperous. The more merchant travelers come and go, the more these thieves target, and the more stable the gang of thieves becomes, thus entering a virtuous circle.

So although she still doesn't like these thieves now, as long as she sees her gold coins accumulating at a faster rate than before, she won't care about the thieves in the taverns and alleys.

This is also a crime that she incurs the impeachment of other Shangjin jointly, "Disobeying the oracle of the goddess!" ”。

"Thou shalt seek to break down all barriers to trade, and thou shalt not destroy the goods of trade, nor may thou spread malicious rumors to disrupt the economic activities of others." Thinking of the farce not long ago, Di Liya couldn't help but snort coldly and read out such a passage of the goddess's teachings.

"Praise be to my Lord! Mercy to adults! The priests who heard it nearby knelt down and praised.

"Tell me to go on, and the black hand will double the tax revenue this year."

"Your will will be carried out!" A middle-aged man stepped out of the crowd and leaned down to kiss the tip of Deria's shoe.

As the head of taxation, Saul is not afraid that the black hand will dare not pay the bill. As an independent violent agency, the Ministry of Taxation is good at taxing the violence of "dynamic social organizations".

Although well hidden, the apparently sparse hair crest still exposes the fact that Thor is bald. Delia's eyes drooped down to see this "landscape", which made her vision wander.

"Hurry up!"

The Templars, who were slowly marching like a parade in a show of force, finally assembled on the docks. In front of them, a wooden protruding plank road corresponds to an empty sea that has just been vacated.

The Templars stood in two columns, facing each other, then stabbed their swords and knelt on one knee. The whole action was done in one go, although there were 100 people, but only one person moved neatly and uniformly, showing a very high military quality.

The Templar Knight bowed his head slightly, motionless, and a solemn aura suddenly spread to the surroundings. The crowd of onlookers, who had been a little noisy just a moment ago, suddenly fell silent, and the only sound in the entire dock was the slight "whoosh" of the sea breeze blowing the red cloak behind the Templar Knights.

Lord Shangjin is dressed in plain white today, although there are still some expensive brooch jewelry dotted among them, but in general he is extremely holy, like a saint who prays for the blessing of the expedition of the army.

She walked over like this, as if this was not a fishy dock, but a fragrant channel full of flower petals. Whenever she walked past a pair of Templars, the Templars would hammer their breastplates before rising up and following behind her. By the time Delia reached the end of the plank path, there were already Templar Knights in gold armor and red clothes behind her.

Delia took out a glass bottle the size of a palm, and in this glass bottle was a small boat.

She removed the cork and threw the glass bottle straight into the sea.

With the crisp sound of glass shattering, the toy-like boat grew in the wind, and soon a battleship with a length of 227 feet (67.8 meters) and a width of 51 feet (about 15 meters) appeared in front of everyone.

As if a loser, the Wauching Church pasted this 3,500-ton "sea fortress" with gold leaf and gold dust. The canvas also uses gold thread to outline the symbol of the goddess of wealth - a gold coin engraved with the left face of Wokin, and with the hundred Templars who have just boarded the ship to look like warriors of the Kingdom of God, it looks sacred and legendary, as if it has just come out of a mural painted with mythological stories.

"No, this is a battleship, how can you fight like this!"

It's not that everyone thinks that this mobile arsenal with three artillery decks and 105 guns of various colors will not be as powerful as those pirates who only have modified armed merchant ships. It's just that everyone thinks that using such a battleship that can be called a work of art to exterminate pirates is a very violent act.

If this golden battleship is his own, even if he knocks or touches it, he will breathe in distress. What's more, if you drive to the sea and go directly to the front line of battle, this time the artillery will fire in unison, how much gold dust will be shocked!

The Emerald City is the most stingy among the merchants, and there are no longer a few stingy merchants. Just thinking about it for a moment, there are already a lot of "iron roosters" who are pale and need to rest, which is too exciting for them.

But more people yearn for it, how nice it would be if I also had such a golden battleship!

After a while, Lord Shangjin had already noticed that there were many more shallow believers of the goddess Wolkin in the crowd of onlookers.

Delia smiled faintly, this was the reason why she had sent this warship, which was more symbolic than battle, to destroy the pirates.

No matter how much effort is taken to explain the teachings and teachings of the goddess to those ignorant mortals, it is not as intuitive as the present to bring wealth to the eyes with real money.

Of course, it's still too old-fashioned to pile up a mountain of gold or something, and the effect of your own golden battleship is not stronger than those brainless piles?!
