Chapter 416: Trade-offs
Captain Ginter's treasure did not disappoint Chen Hao, and it was not yet possible to estimate the specific price of this batch of treasures, but it must be an astronomical amount. At this moment, he seemed to see the huge dreadnoughts, advanced military equipment, and the great development of the base area, and it was worth paying a big price for Captain Ginter's huge treasures.
The amount of treasure was more than Chen Hao expected, and the plan in his mind could be executed, but this plan had a certain risk. He was going to transfer the treasure to the chests he brought, and then leave a small part of the treasure behind, and when the first Japanese got these chests, he would definitely compete with the other Japanese, and the two sides would fight to lose......
Doing so would allow Chen Hao to take away the treasure at the lowest cost, but it would be possible to lose a small part of the treasure. Captain Jinte's treasure was so valuable that even a small part of Chen Hao couldn't bear it, so he was a little entangled. He would certainly take all the precious items such as jewelry, jade, and ivory, but he could leave a small part of the gold and silver, and almost a tenth of the treasure would be left behind for disguise.
For example, in a chest containing gold, after transferring 90% of the gold, put masonry underneath and a layer of real gold on top; For other chests of jewellery and jade, leave the empty chests and fill them with masonry, and then layer a layer of silver on top of the chests. Doing so can create the illusion that the more than 20 chests are all gold and silver, and can completely make the Japanese mistakenly believe that the chests contain all the treasures of Captain Kint.
There is competition among the Japanese, and the Japanese who arrive at the Treasure Cave first should not have time to double-check every box. When they saw so many chests full of gold and silver, their first reaction was to move all the chests first. Due to the sheer size of Captain Ginter's treasure, these chests cannot be stowed into the player's coat, and they are seen by people from other factions when they move chests, and the two sides are almost certain to fight......
Chen Hao needed to leave some gold and a lot of silver. It's a small part of the treasure, but it's worth as much as an advanced battleship. After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Hao finally decided to carry out this plan because he didn't want to lose a big one. A head-to-head confrontation with the Japanese is too risky and can result in the loss of all the treasure, and it's worth it to give up a tenth of your treasure to ensure that 90% of your treasure is safe.
Chen Hao began to plan how to recapture this tenth of the treasure. When the Japanese are almost in full swing, will they be able to recapture this part of the treasure? If he fights on the island, he has a good chance of getting it back, but if he is at sea, the chances are slim, and the Japanese player will not be cheap even if he watches the treasure sink to the bottom of the sea.
Chen Hao was well prepared, and his troops carried a hundred smaller chests, which were much smaller than the treasure chests in the cave. Even if the small chest was full of gold, two strong soldiers could carry it away, allowing for faster transfer of treasure in the event of a fight.
After instructing his NPC soldiers to transfer most of the treasure to the small boxes they brought, two hundred elite soldiers from the guard battalion were responsible for carrying the boxes. Another three hundred soldiers of the guard battalion were on hand to protect them. Chen Hao was not worried about the betrayal of his subordinates, he stayed in the cave for the time being, and ordered his subordinates to find a lot of stones and put them into the original treasure chest.
After more than 20 large treasure chests were covered with a layer of gold and silver, after entering the cave, the gold and silver flashed, and it really looked like that. Since the Japanese didn't know that anyone had come in advance, they would never have imagined that the bottom of these treasure chests was full of stones, because there was no need for the great pirate Jint to do such a boring thing......
Chen Hao carefully inspected the cave. After making sure that there were no flaws, he led his troops to the side of the valley. The north is covered with dense forests. There are no ready-made roads, and it is necessary to go all the way to the north. When he reached the cliff on the side of the valley, the NPC soldiers of the guard battalion had already climbed the cliff along the tree vines, and were knotting the vines into thumb-thick ropes, preparing to lift a hundred boxes up.
Chen Hao stood on the edge of the cliff and commanded, and after a while, he received a system prompt: "Player Chen Baxian." With other treasure hunters landing on Pure Ore Island, Captain Ginter's treasure hunt becomes a treasure hunt and you'll be competing against other Inhumans, so be careful. ”
Yamamoto Ningji's people went to Pure Water Island, so Chen Hao would receive a system prompt. Then comes the crucial part of the mission. There is only one word difference between a treasure hunt and a treasure hunt quest, but the two have very different meanings, the treasure hunt only needs to deal with NPCs, and the treasure hunt quest is to fight other treasure hunt players.
"Player Yamamoto Ninji, since there are other strangers involved in Captain Jinte's treasure hunt mission, the treasure hunt mission has been changed to a treasure hunt mission, please be careful."
Yamamoto Ninji, who had just arrived on the net mine island, also received a prompt from the system, but he did not suspect that someone had taken the lead, and only thought that it was the competition between Panasonic and the Ishihara family that would have this kind of prompt. He said to Ryuji Yamazaki next to him: "The treasure hunt mission has become a treasure hunting mission, and there will inevitably be a fight between us and the two families, Brother Ryu, you have to be prepared." ”
Ryūji Yamamoto said in a deep voice: "This is expected, we must find the treasure as soon as possible, and then transfer the treasure at all costs." Legend has it that Captain Gint's treasure is worth a fortune, and as long as there are warships that can break through with the treasure, even if the fleet is completely destroyed, it is worth it. ”
The people of the Yamamoto family followed the hints of the treasure map and went to the depths of the island, and along the way, Yamamoto Ninji needed a lot of time to look at the treasure map and find the right path. The fleets of the Ishihara family and the Matsushita family also arrived on the island of pure mines, and since they didn't have a treasure map in their hands, they just followed the people of the Yamamoto family not far away, and once the Yamamoto family found the treasure, they would be in trouble.
The Yamamoto family is also well aware of this, but they can't give it up now, otherwise the treasure will be lost to them. Two hours later, under the guidance of Yamamoto Ninji, the Yamamoto family arrived in the valley where the treasure was hidden. Yamamoto Ningji took out the treasure map and looked at it for a few minutes, then said in a low voice: "The treasure is in this valley, Second Brother Long, you can organize the fortifications." ”
Ryuji Yamamoto immediately ordered all his men to build fortifications on the spot, and the seven thousand players began to get busy. Ryuji Yamamoto and Ninji Yamamoto walked to the depths of the valley with a team of 1,000 NPCs, and after a while, they came to the crack where the treasure was hidden, and at that moment there was a gunshot at the entrance of the valley.
"The Matsushita family and the Ishihara family have arrived, and we must race against time to transfer the treasure." Ryuji Yamamoto led the way into the rift, with the other NPC soldiers following closely behind.
After passing through the crack to the treasure cave, and seeing more than 20 large boxes, Yamamoto Ninji and Yamamoto Ryuji showed greedy looks. Ryūji Yamamoto opened one of the boxes, and was greeted by a dazzling golden light, and a layer of gold bricks neatly stacked in the boxes; Yamamoto Ninji opened another box, only to see that there were minted silver ingots stacked in the box......
Yamamoto Ninji was about to open the other boxes to check, and Yamamoto Ryuji, who had already closed the lid of the box, said in a deep voice: "Don't look at it, we must break through with the treasure immediately, the longer the time drags on, the worse it will be for us." At present, only the Ishihara family and the Matsushita family are in action, and if the news of our huge treasure spreads, there will be even more enemies against us. ”
A thousand NPCs quickly tied up the boxes with ropes, and cut dozens of trunks on the spot, carrying one box out of the cracks for every four people. Instead of moving towards the mouth of the valley, Ryuji Yamamoto ordered his men to move towards the southern side of the valley, trying to climb over the wall to avoid the main forces of the two families and transfer the treasure to the warship.
At the entrance of the valley, the players of the Seven Thousand Yamamoto clan are fighting fiercely against the attacking two clans by taking advantage of the terrain. Although the Yamamoto family is relatively small, because they are on the defensive side, it is completely impossible for the two families to attack the valley in a short time. Ryuji Yamamoto had a plan when he entered the valley, allowing the player to attract people from both families, and then he led an elite army of 1,000 NPCs over the cliffs to break through.
Ryuji Yamazaki and Chen Hao left in the same way, but Chen Hao went to the north and Ryuji Yamazaki went to the south. His plan went well, and after hoisting more than twenty large boxes onto the cliff with the rope he had brought, the 1,000-NPC army made its way south, the gunfire getting farther and farther away from them.
At the entrance to the valley, Taro Ishihara, who commanded the attack of the two family forces, looked deeper into the valley with a telescope in his hand. He didn't see the people of the Yamamoto family climb the cliff, but the terrain of the valley made him pay attention, and he said to Kenji Matsushita next to him: "Matsushita-kun, do you think the people of the Yamamoto family will let some people drag us here, but they will escape over the cliff?" ”
Kenji Matsushita nodded again and again: "Ishihara-kun, your judgment is very reasonable, the Yamamoto family has an elite NPC ronin army, and this force has also come to Pure Mine Island." It's the players who are resisting our attack right now, and that NPC force is no longer there, so it's likely that they're secretly out of position. ”
"So what are you waiting for? We will plan to leave 5,000 men to feint, and then turn back with our elite troops to intercept them on the beach. If the Yamamoto family had climbed over the cliff and headed south, the road would have been difficult to follow, and they would have carried more than twenty boxes, so we would have been able to reach the beach before them. ”
The elite troops of the three families began to race, and as Ishihara Taro judged, the path chosen by the Yamamoto family was not easy to follow, and they fell behind the elite troops of the two families. Ryuji Yamamoto walked out of the rugged mountain road with a thousand elite NPC troops, and when he arrived at the vast sandy beach, he found that his opponent had established a defensive line in advance to intercept it.
Taro Ishihara waved his hand at Ryuji Yamamoto with a smile on his face and said, "Yamamoto-kun, I heard that you have recruited a thousand ronin NPCs and cultivated an elite army at any cost, and this time I finally met this elite soldier." (To be continued......)
