Chapter 37: The Approach of the Conspiracy

"What bed crossbow?"

Climbing down the ladder, Kitagawa walked to the cabin where the bed crossbow was found, and sure enough! The behemoth, covered in gray cloth with only a corner exposed, lay quietly in the center of this room!

"Look, Captain! I recognize this, this is a standard bed crossbow that the Nord military has expressly forbidden! This kind of crossbow is extremely powerful, especially when paired with special arrows, it is not a problem to penetrate two layers of plate armor, and the most important thing is that these special crossbow arrows can be combined with other accessories to achieve different effects! ”

"Oh? For example? ”

Baru bent down and opened an ammunition box and pulled out a huge crossbow bolt that was about the thickness of an arm.

"Look at this [Heavy Armor Piercing Arrow], this big guy is made of stainless steel, and the cost is estimated to be about the same as a set of plate armor! But I think it's worth the money, look here! “

Baloo flicked his hand at the arrow at the top of the crossbow and listened

Click!

A crisp sound! After a short delay, the diamond-shaped armor-piercing arrows suddenly popped out with four barbed hooks!

"That's it? What's the use of that? Kitagawa wondered

"Captain Higgs, this thing can't be made in our Nords, it's a high-end cargo that only the Swadia Kingdom has! It's just that the Svadia guys usually only use it when attacking the city gates. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info see the iron ring at the end? Usually this kind of armor-piercing crossbow bolt will be a rope or iron chain on the tail, after the armor-piercing crossbow bolt hits the city gate, the armor-piercing diamond-shaped arrow will penetrate the city gate, and then these four hooks will suddenly pop out of the main city gate. At this time, as long as you find a few horses to pull ropes, you can easily destroy their city gates! It's just a pity! Because this guy is expensive and has too close range, even Swadia's army is not very well equipped. Balu sighed.

After listening to Balu's introduction, Beichuan touched his chin and said, "You just said that this is contraband, right?" ”

"Huh! That's right! But if it's a brigade, this problem can be avoided completely! ”

"Will you do this guy?"

Balu habitually touched his head: "No~"

Hearing this, Kitagawa chuckled and replied, "That's right! Neither will I! ”

"But~ this thing is very powerful, and! And..."

Balu couldn't say why.

I don't want to continue to hit Balu Beichuan to change the topic: "Okay! All right! How many of those are there? Is there anything else besides that? ”

"That kind of [Heavy Armor Piercing Arrow] only has one round, in addition to that one, there are 40 [Scatter Arrows] for scattering, 10 [Wind Whispering Arrows] for ultra-long-range projectiles, and 100 [Normal Crossbow Arrows] for the usual use!"

Hearing that there were so many crossbow arrows, Kitagawa was surprised:

"So much? Do we have anything else? ”

Balu: "I rummaged through the ship's cabins just now, and there was nothing but a pile of large iron pipes and a few barrels of unknown black soil that was being transported! ”

Big iron pipes? Black earth?

Beichuan suddenly thought of a possibility in his heart, and hurriedly said to Balu: "You call everyone to the deck to assemble first, and I'll go and see those 'big iron pipes'." ”

"Yes! My captain. Balu retreated.

After Balu left, Kitagawa immediately walked towards the compartment where the cargo was stored.

Big iron pipes? Black earth! If my guess is right, it's an iron cannon! Gunpowder! How could Anna let us ship such a thing? She doesn't know what she's using this time, but it's Aaron who is going this time! So how could she not understand?

Kitagawa opened the wooden door of the cabin with mixed feelings, and with a chorus of 'squeak! The wooden door opened, and with it a pungent smell of gunpowder!

That's right! It's the smell of gunpowder! What the hell are they going to do?

Lifting the curtain on the side, the muzzle of the black hole was facing Beichuan.

It looks like it's really an iron cannon! Since this is the case, then the purpose of this delivery needs to be considered, Beichuan recalled the meeting with Anna that day, and the wet flaxen long hair was thrown on his face, um~ cough!

...

The only four members of the ship on the deck of the Sukhbaatar stood together, but apart from Baloo and Leeds, who were talking happily, the rest of Ken and Camicia stood there coldly, staring at each other with a look of indifference.

Kitagawa came to the deck after checking the 'cargo', and as soon as he pushed open the door of the cabin, he saw this extremely embarrassing scene.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Beichuan pretended to clear his throat and shouted.

"Hey!! Little ones! ”

As soon as these words came out, six angry eyes stared at him instantly, and only Balu was the only one who smirked and looked at his companion who was glaring at the captain.

"Mr. Captain! I'm just joining your team temporarily! And, remember! Last time, you just won me by luck, so you still have the strength to beat you down in the current situation! - That's right! I'll find some time to 'talk' with the captain about 'Beatoris'! This was the annoyed look of Camicia, who had just woken up.

Kitagawa coughed twice and handed the resentful gaze to the smirking Balu, who was still smirking...

Was it ~ ignored?

"Captain Higgs! I can ignore your contempt for me! But when will your martial arts skills be taught to me? Ken smiled sinisterly, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth.

"Soon! Soon! Beichuan hurriedly smiled.

"Higgs! Well? As soon as Liz stared, Kitagawa rubbed his head and took him aside.

"Lord Leeds! You're a co-captain, not a 'small' one, don't get me wrong! ”

When Liz heard this, he immediately became happy, and left Kitagawa and turned his head to start chatting with Baru.

"Sure enough, it's still a child's heart!"

Beichuan just wiped a cold sweat, and Balu's honest voice came from his ears again.

"Miss Leeds, as far as I know, the rank of the first captain is still a little lower than that of the captain!"

Let's go!

It's the sound of knuckle rubbing!

"Higgs! ~”

"Lord Leeds! This is a misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding! ”

――――

After a period of fighting, the atmosphere among the crowd was really much more relaxed.

Beichuan rubbed the soft flesh on his waist and looked at the four people in front of him with satisfaction.

"That's it! Now I want to announce one thing to you! Just now, Balu found a bed crossbow in the cabin, which is contraband! So I'd like to go to the mayor and start a brigade, and you're the first members of the brigade! What do you think? Do you have any comments? ”

Kitagawa swept his crew with what he thought was a compelling gaze.

"I have an opinion!"

.....

Hey, hey, hey! At least you have to think about it for three seconds!

"Who has an opinion? Stand out! ”

Beichuan roared angrily, and the four of them looked at each other, but none of them stood up.

"Didn't you have a big temper just now? Why did they all become soft eggs this time? Don't dare to admit your own words? Is Captain Ben that scary? ”

Kitagawa looked at the four of them in annoyance, and suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"It's me!"

Beichuan turned around in surprise and found an acquaintance, not bad! It was the uncle who called himself the 'senior first mate' that day!

The middle-aged uncle bowed and said

"Sorry! I'm late because there's a lot to do! Let's get acquainted again, my name is Lenster! is a senior first officer! Glad to join your brigade! ”

Beichuan hurriedly helped Uncle Lancet up and said happily:

"Welcome... Wait a minute! You said you wanted to join the brigade? Ha ha! Sure enough, I read the wrong person! From today onwards, you will be the first mate of this ship! ”

First mate Randster gave Beichuan a chest-beating salute that was popular among Nord's troops.

"Yes! Captain Higgs! ”

With the addition of Lancet, an old driver, Beichuan suddenly felt ambitious, and saw him clear his throat like a rainbow.

"So now~ no one is against me creating a brigade, right?"

Four people~ Oh no! It should be the five of them who shook their heads.

"So! I announce! ...”、

"I'm against it!" An old voice suddenly interrupted Beichuan's words again.
