Helen Port is indeed more prosperous than Yuo Port, there are more shops here, the roads are cleaner, and the sound of NPCs talking can be heard everywhere.

If you have a surname, you can also send clues to some tasks from these conversations, and the reward is quite considerable.

It's a pity that what Wang Hao lacks most now is time.

Doge's Palace.

This building is not available in the port of Yuo, and it is precisely because of the Governor's Palace that the port of Helen has the potential to be upgraded.

Players can increase the port's quota by investing in the Doge's Palace.

There is a limit to the amount of goods that a player can buy in any one port per day, which is called the quota of goods.

When the quota is used up, either you have to change to a port operator, or you can only donate money to the port to increase the quota of goods. Of course, if you wait until the next day, you can do that.

In the early stage, the player's ship is narrow and small, and he may not be able to use up the quota of goods every day, but in the middle and late stages, each shipment is tens or hundreds, and the benefits of high commodity quota can be reflected at that time.

Walking into the gate of the Governor's Palace, Wang Hao took a turn inside, he didn't come to see the Governor, in fact, if he didn't invest more than 100 gold coins at a time, it would be impossible to see the Governor at all.

In the side hall sat a middle-aged man dressed as a blonde and blue-eyed knight, who was also the target of his trip, Quartermaster Nagel.

Mission Tips: The conflict between Britain and Spain is getting bigger and bigger, and both sides are rationally restraining the navies below to prevent the conflict from further expanding, but this does not mean peace, on the contrary, both sides are actively preparing for war, accumulating strength, and waiting for the opportunity to give the opponent a fatal blow. In order to combat and weaken each other, both countries send pirates to infiltrate each other's waters, plot to destroy ports, block transport ships, etc.

Quartermaster Nagel also spoke, "The evil Spanish navy has held back most of the power of the Empire, young navigator, would you like to carry a batch of important supplies for the soldiers ahead?" ”

Wang Hao came for this, so he naturally nodded.

System: You've received a commission - the first chapter of the Rise of the Empire.

This task is difficult because the Spanish pirates who appeared during the transportation process had no place to cry if the ship was sunk by the other side.

Fortunately, the naval forces of the two countries contain each other, and around this offshore area, the strength of the pirates who can sneak in will not be too strong, and with Wang Hao's ability to work, there should not be much problem in completing the task.

Going to sea again, the destination of this trip is Fort Green, southwest of Helen Harbor, and the estimated voyage is about half an hour.

The feeling of the warm and humid sea breeze blowing on his face was very comfortable, which made people feel drowsy, Wang Hao had to cheer up, the Spanish pirate didn't know when he would appear, he didn't want to swim back to the port.

The system suddenly comes out of the sound of Didi, which is a prompt to add friends.

Wang Hao took a look at the other party's nickname, perverts love beautiful girls, so he accepted the invitation. He couldn't think of anyone else except his landlord.

"Dear Wang, have you seen it, this sea, the wind is so realistic, I must hurry up to make money to buy a boat, and then take my sister to the sea, oh, that is really happy." York's voice was very excited, and he chattered for a long time before he remembered a question, "Dude, which fishing village are you in?" ”

"Yuo Village."

"Oh." Jack grinned back, "I'll go to you then, trust me, buddy, I'll be able to buy a boat soon." ”

Oh your sister, I don't believe you know where Yuo Village is.

Wang Hao patted his forehead helplessly, let's change to a more reliable one, "Where are you?" ”

"Wait, I'll ask first." York didn't hang up the voice, as if stopping passers-by to ask, and after a while, he showed a smug expression, "Ha, it turns out that we are called Fishman Harbor here." ”

This guy's thinking is obviously different from ordinary people, Wang Hao can't figure out what there is to be proud of, he lowered his head and recalled, Fishman Harbor seems to be in the north of Helen Harbor, not too far, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet for a while.

Hanging up the voice, Wang Hao returned to a state of alertness, his eyes patrolled the sea, and a black dot gradually entered his line of sight.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but he saw a lot of large cargo ships spinning on wheels along the way, but they were fast, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"It's a pirate."

As the ship approached, Wang Hao finally saw the other party's flag clearly, his face suddenly turned cold, and he ordered to enter the battle state.

As the only sailor on the whole ship, Hal, he has always gone wherever he is needed, wiping decks, handling cargo, sailing, etc., which can be described as a decathlon and inexpensive, for example, now he is a part-time gunner.

This is also an advantage of hiring a crew, you can use a small catapult of the ship, otherwise Wang Hao will have to engage in a broadside battle and go up to fight with the other party.

He'd always hated this kind of unskilled work.

Small Catapult: Range 200 yards, +5 projectile power, -1 accuracy

The small catapult comes with the ship, and with the base damage, if the enemy ship is also an unarmored unit, then if it hits, it can deal 10 damage.

Wang Hao calculated in his heart, he could see that the other party was also a sloop merchant ship, and it had been modified to make the ship more conducive to combat.

Ship modifications have taken several directions, some focus on speed, some on armor, and some on enlarged holds, allowing ships to carry more cargo.

And the pirate ship in front of him has improved its sails.

Wang Hao quickly made a judgment, that is to say, the opponent's boat speed is faster than his own, and he can't run away, so he can only face the battle.

"Attack." Wang Hao ordered.

Hearing the order, the temporary gunner Hal hurriedly towed the catapult to the shelling position, and was busy for more than ten seconds before the first stone bullet was fired.

The thick bowl of water rose at a distance of more than ten yards from the corsair, and this was the case with non-professional gunners, who had a pitiful low hit rate of shelling.

Fortunately, Wang Hao didn't have much expectations for this, and if he could hit one or two times out of ten attacks, he would be content.

The sea ships of the two sides approached quickly, Wang Hao stood in the bow of the ship, and the situation on the other deck was in full view, three sailors and one captain, this was all the strength of the other party.

The corsair has not yet fought back, so there is only one reason for this - broadside battle.

Due to the low hit rate of shelling, for a long time, broadside battles were popular among players, especially between captains, just like duels between knights in ancient times.

This was also a choice that forced him to save money on hiring sailors, so the captain had to go shirtless.

If the sailor dies, Wang Hao will have to compensate double the mercenary money, which is a big loss for him now.

"Turn the rudder left."

ps: There are really not many nautical novels, and there are very few good ones, more than 95% of them are unfinished, in addition to the difficulty of writing this genre, the reader's incompetence also accounts for a large part of the reason.

Sailing is a niche, and it needs the support of readers who love sailing.

Reading books and voting is a virtue.
