With the surrender of Pelly, the remaining French battleships fell into a state of fighting on their own.

If the French soldiers were ordered to surrender, they would obey the higher priority, kill the betrayer, and then revert back to the original setting to elect a new commander within a certain amount of time.

Since Paley's surname is designed with reference to historical figures, although his surrender did not follow the set script, it is the embodiment of his surname, which takes precedence over his duties.

Therefore, his behavior can be regarded as exploiting the loopholes of the system, but he does not violate the rules.

In response to this, the system, also known as the "Titan", quickly remedied, and that ransom mission was the bait.

As an NPC second only to the Legendary Captain, it's not what current players should have.

However, even the "Titans" do not have the right to deprive the player of the items that belong to the "rightful" acquisition, so there is that ransom mission.

At the current price, 500 gold coins is believed to be an irresistible ** for any player.

In fact, when he saw that task, Wang Hao's heart gave birth to an urge to sell Paley.

But when he gradually calmed down, he found a big suspicion.

How can an NPC with such a waste of wood be exchanged for 500 gold coins?

Yes, in Wang Hao's heart, Pelly is far less than the value of 500 gold coins.

One can neither fight nor lead the army, and his surname Ge is timid and cowardly, even if he asks him to help him run a business, Wang Hao will not rest assured.

If the ransom given by the system at that time was 50 or 100 gold coins, or Wang Hao would not have wasted his energy on this matter, he casually agreed.

"What, you would actually suspect that the great General Pelly is not worth 500 gold coins? This is the greatest humiliation to me, and I ask for a duel with you. ”

Hearing Wang Hao's confused voice, Paley was really angry, his fat cheeks trembled, and he reached out to touch his waist, but it was empty, his expression was full of astonishment, and he looked very happy.

"The captives don't have the right to make demands, or do you want me to be flattened again?"

There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of Wang Hao's mouth, which made Pelly panic, and the latter suddenly remembered his current identity, and the anger on his face suddenly disappeared, and then showed a flattering smile.

"Well, although General Ben's strength is slightly worse than yours, he is still a little wealthy, please believe that I will definitely be able to take out these 500 gold coins, I just hope that your Excellency can abide by the agreement at that time."

As Paley spoke, he looked at the other party's expression, and found that the other party was not very angry, so he had the courage to say everything.

Wang Hao ** forehead, pinched the corners of his eyes, noncommittal to what Pelly said, and asked casually: "What will happen if I don't accept the ransom?" ”

Hearing this, Paley's heartbeat sped up a lot, the flattering smile on his face suddenly froze, beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and he said with a somewhat reluctant expression: "This doesn't seem to be very good, according to the common laws of all countries, I have the right to ask for redemption for myself." ”

"That refers to you, but not me."

There was still a faint smile on the corner of Wang Hao's mouth, but his words were full of irrefutable taste.

His meaning is very simple, according to the laws of war between the natives of this world, the nobles who are defeated and captured do have the right to redeem themselves.

However, this rule has no binding effect on players, as long as Wang Hao is willing, he can naturally ignore this rule.

Although this will weaken his prestige in France, as well as the unfriendly attitude of obtaining France-related NPCs.

"Or do I add another 100 gold? Up to two hundred? ”

Naturally, Pelly would not be willing to be a captive if possible, but money also occupies an extremely important place in his heart, which can be seen from the painful expression on his face.

As a high-level NPC, although he played a very dishonorable role in this campaign, as long as he is allowed to return to France, he is confident that he will still be able to settle these troubles.

Of course, it would be better if it could be exchanged for ** at a "reasonable" price.

If Wang Hao knew that the maximum redemption amount given by the system to Paley was set at 1,500 gold coins, and the latter was only willing to take out half of it at most, he might have a better understanding of this guy in front of him who was greedy for money and afraid of death.

"It's not about the money."

Wang Hao waved his hand and interrupted the other party's speech, "What I want to ask is, if I refuse the ransom, what can I get?" ”

"Don't expect to deceive me with lies, the consequences will be serious, and I believe you will never want to try."

The dangerous flame flickered in the eyes of the difficult person, and Pelly couldn't help but take a step back, his face blue and white, as if he was struggling with fierce thoughts.

Until Wang Hao's figure got closer and closer in his pupils, and the next moment he sat on the deck as if resigned to his fate, "If you refuse to accept the ransom, as a prisoner of war, General Ben ...... I will be your private property. ”

After he finished this passage with difficulty, he no longer concealed his surname and revealed his name completely.

"Purple, it's purple, you're a captain?"

Wang Hao's breathing suddenly became rapid, although he had vaguely guessed that there was such a possibility before, but when this guess turned true, and it was also a captain-level NPC who would work for him.

A dizzy feeling of being smashed by a pie falling from the sky filled Wang Hao's heart in an instant.

This is second only to the legendary captain's NPC, you must know that in the previous life, Wang Hao struggled in the game for three years, and only got a rare level and three elite-level sailors, but compared to the captain-level NPC, these are all scum.

From ordinary, elite, to rare, if this change is compared to a quantitative change, then the promotion to the captain level is a qualitative change, and there is almost no comparable surname between the two.

As a sign of this, the NPCs at the captain level have a fairly high AI and active surname, and can drive a ship alone without being attached to the player, or run a business, take risks, and so on.

In other words, as long as you can subdue more NPCs above the captain level, you can organize a huge fleet by yourself.

Of course, this is actually very difficult to do, how precious are NPCs above the captain level, even if it is recognized as the first person in the previous game, he only accepted a legendary-level captain and a single-digit captain NPC.

Basically, there is no real difference between the Captain of the Legend class and the Captain, except that the former is more capable.

Seeing the Perley who was sitting there paralyzed, Wang Hao's heart had a little doubt, could it be that the captain-level NPCs also had inferior goods.

If it weren't for the other party's name being fully revealed, he could hardly believe that such a waste wood would actually be a purple-class captain.

You must know that NPCs above the elite level are almost dozens or hundreds of times larger than items of the same level, and a captain-level NPC, in the previous life, I am afraid that the presidents of large guilds in many countries may not necessarily have it.

"Keep it for now, if you find him useless, then you can sell it."

Wang Hao thought of this, and immediately made up his mind and refused the other party's request to pay a ransom for himself.

System: Captain Pelly becomes your squire, and since he is not voluntary, he has a chance to escape in battle or business.

Seeing this message, Wang Hao's face became gloomy, and he looked at Peli hehe.

Pelly was thrilled by Wang Hao's strange gaze, and couldn't help but shudder, and he instinctively read a taste that was unfavorable to him from that gaze.

He thought, since there is no hope of getting out, then it is even more necessary to please the master in front of him, well, for the sake of the future life.

If he wants to live a better life, then he has to prove his worth.

“…… Master, I can do a lot of things for you, such as fighting, running merchants, and I can also help you guard the treasury and take care of the territory, if you have extra money, I can also help you invest, and the income will definitely satisfy you. ”

If you didn't see the prompt of the system, maybe Wang Hao really believed the other party and helped him fight, did he want to escape while the battle was fighting, as for the running businessman, with the other party's greedy surname, maybe he would take the ship and the goods away.

After Pelly became his attendant, he was able to see the other party's caste.

Pelly's various castes are not high, of course, being able to drive a fourth-order ship is not much lower, the key is that captain-level NPCs can upgrade and wear equipment, so even if the current level is a little lower, it doesn't matter much.

Wang Hao values the loyalty of the other party more, which is only 65.

You must know that NPCs with loyalty below 70 have a small chance of running away, and if they are below 60, they have a greater chance of running away, as for NPCs with loyalty below 50, Wang Hao has never seen them around any player.

With such a low loyalty, Wang Hao didn't dare to let the other party go to ** activities, so he kept it by his side for two days and waited until he found a way to improve his loyalty.

Now in the battle, there is no need for Wang Hao to intervene, since the surrender of Perley, the morale of both sides has been declining, and the British side has quickly taken the advantage, coupled with the dispatch of the British Left Wing Fleet, this battlefield is basically a victory.

The central battlefield was also developing in the direction of the British, especially at the moment of the surrender of Pelly, Nelson seized the opponent's demoralized fighter and launched a fierce attack, although Truge and Merlin used all their strength, the entire fleet was still eaten away by the British Royal Navy.

On the other battlefield, although the morale of the British side has improved after hearing the news of Paley's surrender, it still can't resist the player army led by Napoleon, and when he is about to defeat the Guards led by Howard, he suddenly receives bad news from the system.

System: French Admiral Truguet was defeated and the British were deemed victorious in the battle, and the space would be closed in ten minutes.

Listening to this system announcement, everyone stopped what they were doing, and the expressions on everyone's faces were different, or angry, or sad, or joyful, but no matter what they wanted, this time the campaign was finally successfully concluded.

Many people suddenly collapsed on their own ships exhausted, insisting on fighting for so long, consuming a lot of their mental and physical strength, and when they relaxed at this time, they felt a feeling of weakness.

In front of everyone's eyes, a huge screen appeared, and on the screen was the wonderful performance of many players in this campaign.

There are the presidents of large guilds in various countries, and there are elites among scattered players, but the most important thing is those three young faces.

Napoleon, Merlin, and Haotian.

The experiences of these three people occupy most of the movie, but none of the players who have seen these clips can find a single reason to object.

Because their contribution to their respective camps far exceeds that of others, they do have such qualifications.

The final picture that appeared was the standings of the two sides, with Wang Hao topping the table with 762 points, almost double the second place.

On the French side, Napoleon is in first place with 651 points, followed by Merlin with 618 points, and this is not the final reward.

This is because the losing side gives one-third to one-half of the points earned to the winning side.

With Wang Hao's contribution, most of them can be divided into another 100 points.

Then there's another event, which is to select the most popular and most awe-inspiring people in this campaign.

Each player who participated in this campaign had a vote in their hands, and after a few minutes of deliberation and system statistics, the answer was quickly announced.

The most popular of them was Napoleon, whose bright smile was so contagious that it comforted the losing side.

Wang Hao is the most feared person in this battle.

The election of these two people may have been expected by many people, so after the answer was revealed, they did not show surprise.

The battle is over, some people are happy, and naturally some people are disappointed, especially the French.

If there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, they will admit it, but until the result of the battle is known, they have the advantage.

If it weren't for the Chinese man who came out of nowhere, they would have been the victors this time.

The more devastated the French were, the more they needed a hero to stand up, and Napoleon naturally came into the limelight.

Promoted by some old guilds, Napoleon became the savior in the eyes of many Frenchmen.

This does not need to be faked, Napoleon's record can stand up to anyone's scrutiny.

At this time, many old guilds in France have not yet realized what kind of ambition this blonde man with a bright smile is hidden under that warm smile.

Compared to Napoleon's dazzling brilliance, Merlin's aura was much weaker, and his face was still as calm as water, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Of course, the liveliest place at this time was where the British and French quartermasters were located.

With a lot of points in hand, players will naturally want to change to better equipment.

But Wang Hao and his subordinates did not act, first, there were too many people there, and secondly, it did not mean that points could only be exchanged there.

Once the dungeon is out, points can also be redeemed at the main port, where there will be occasional surprises. (To be continued.) )
