Chapter 271: Ironclad Ship
Wanted—Name unknown, racial elf.
Crimes: murder of nobles, arson, burglary
Bounty: 100,000 gold coins.
Underneath the wanted poster is then a vivid portrait of Karel.
Sting! The wanted warrant was torn off by a white hand.
"One hundred thousand, not bad." The man hidden under the cloak stared at the bounty bar carefully, then nodded in satisfaction and put the wanted warrant in his arms.
"Let's go, Mekladas, we've got work to do." The soft female voice called out to a 3-meter-tall, ugly-looking humanoid monster, with blue-purple skin, fine scales, curved legs, two giant hammers in thick hands, a head shrouded in a huge metal helmet, and a large mouth full of sharp teeth faintly visible.
This is an angry guard, a high-level demon, and the woman who walked in front of her knew without saying that she was a warlock who specialized in demon summoning.
Looking at the two giant hammers with green flames on the Guardian of Wrath, the surrounding pedestrians dodged one after another, lest they could avoid it, and the burning magic flame weapons in the demon's hands would cause great damage to people if they touched it.
……
Sands, the southernmost city in Venedon and the country's most famous tourist city, is the attraction of its large sandy beaches that look like gold dust.
Originally, the beach was one of Karel's favorite spots, but not anymore, because he doesn't know what he should wear to the beach, after all, sometimes appearance determines a person's behavior.
Because of the wanted warrant, it was best for Karel not to show his true face in Fordton. Otherwise, there is no end to the trouble, after all, 100,000 gold coins is enough for any bounty hunter to go crazy, so Karel slightly modified his appearance to make it look like a female elf with an average appearance, and it is precisely because of this make-up effect that it is almost like a disguise, so that Karel is not hindered in the Vedanton Business Alliance.
According to information obtained from the mercenary guild, someone has seen Edward's traces in Sands City.
Before the crossing, everyone liked to chat and fart when they were okay in the game, and Karel knew that Edward usually liked to travel. And prefer beautiful women. Men, it's all like this, and the tourist attractions with the most beautiful women, except for this beach. There is no other place.
Although it is not known why only Edward is on the wanted notice and not Rejana. However, this did not prevent the Night Elves from spotting each other's violet complexion that was unusual from ordinary people. After all, the color is just too obvious.
"You're so interested." Just when Edward was basking in the sun comfortably, and secretly admiring other girls under the cover of sunglasses. A man stood in front of Edward, and at the same time a small piece of paper fell, which happened to float on Edward's chest.
After taking a sip of beer, Edward picked up the small piece of paper on his chest and looked at it:
Wanted - Edward
Bounty......
This is his wanted warrant.
Holding the wanted with two fingers, Edward let out a sneer, Bounty Hunters again, a bunch of guys who don't remember to eat.
"Although Shao Tian's magic saber is a sharp weapon, are you sure you want to wield it at me?" Just as Edward reached for his weapon, Karel's fluttering words made him stop what he was doing.
"Who are you?" Not only Edward, but also Rejana, who was watching the play on the side, couldn't help but ask.
"You are so noble and forgetful, even I can't remember." Karel walked away from Fu Hongxue, made it to the sand next to him, and then took out a small can of juice from the ice bucket on the side, and poured it happily. "Is that pistol still working well?"
Pistol...... Karel's words were like a bolt of lightning that slashed through Edward's soul, he did have a pistol, it was given to him by someone who did not belong to this world, and how did the person in front of him know?
"You're Karel?" Edward asked tentatively.
"Hmm." Karel took another sip of juice, his gaze calm and deep.
"When did you become like this?" Karel in his memory was a male elf, but the guy in front of him didn't look like a man's body except for his chest level and the airport, which Edward was extremely curious about.
"That's a long story." Karel's gaze deepened.
"You can make a long story short." Edward answered quickly.
"I'll talk about it later, I'm looking for you for business." Shaking his head, Karel said to Edward and Regina with a serious face, "Do you want to go home?" ”
Go home? Hearing this suddenly, Edward and Regina were a little stunned, go home, what kind of home are you going to? But after thinking about it for a while, an answer came to mind that neither of them dared to think of.
"You mean ......"
"That's right, that's what you think, go back to Earth, go home and see." Karel interrupted Rejana's words and said with a stern expression.
"Can I really go back?" Edward said in disbelief, it has been several years since they came to this world, they all thought that they had completely forgotten their previous home, but at this moment, they were brought up and found that this place was still the deepest pain in their hearts, they were wanderers, they were rootless duckweed, they did not belong here.
"Yes, but it comes at a little cost, and the chance to go home is the reward." Staring at the two of them, Karel said word by word, "Are you going to do it?" ”
Dry! Of course, I didn't expect Karel to be able to take on this kind of task.
"Okay, let's go back and hand over the fleet first, pirates or something, that's actually it." As he spoke, Edward got up to leave, but was pulled by Karell.
"Fleet? How many boats do you have? Karel asked.
"There are 12 of them, all of them half-new ironclad warships, which I just snatched from Fordton the other day." Edward said proudly.
"Twelve......" Karel muttered for a moment, "wait." We still need this fleet. ”
"Need?"
"That's right, the next mission point is on another continent." Karel explained a little. "By the way, take me to see your fleet, maybe we can have a little modification."
"That's a good feeling, let's go." Hearing Karel say this, Edward's eyes lit up, according to the pistol given to him by his friend, then the modification he said was definitely not a simple toss.
This is the Fordton Business Alliance, the most powerful country in the world with a naval force, so no matter how lawless this group of pirates is, it is impossible to stop the Grand Fleet here.
However, it is still possible to dock one or two camouflaged wooden sailing ships in the harbor.
"Naw. It's pretty much the worst ship I've ever had. The others are powered by the Magic Furnace. It's about the same as the boat over there. Edward pointed to a large ship in the distance, which was clad in iron armor and had no iconic sails, but two large chimneys emitting white smoke on the deck. Sail fast on a sea without wind or waves.
"It's like the propeller and the steam engine before the crossing. Now these sailboats are about to be obsolete. Edward patted the mast next to him and said. All right. Let's go, my boat is a little further from here. ”
The Fishtail Islands, a group of deserted islands 50 kilometres off the coastline of Fordton. Washed by the sea for many years, it has now become a huge labyrinth of caves, now occupied by a group of pirates.
"This place is secluded enough." Looking at the three ironclads docked in the dimly lit cavern, Karel sighed.
"That's right, we only found this place by chance, we thought it was just a desolate group of stone islands, but we didn't expect there to be such a big hole in it." Carefully steering, Edward steered the sailboat slowly into the cave and docked on the dock inside.
"Hey, head, welcome back!" Edward stopped the boat, and the group got off the boat, when a lewd-looking guy came out of the side and greeted Edward, and then opened his mouth wide to look at Karel as he stepped down from the ship.
Karel had already erased the disguise from his face, revealing his original beauty, which really startled everyone else.
"Hey, head, is this the trophy brought back this time, this leg, this waist, I can play all night!" The guy spun around Karel and praised him.
"Can I kill him?" Karel asked Edward.
"Well, better not, this guy has been with me for a long time." Looking at Karel, and then at Malcoln, who was jumping up and down, excited like a monkey, Edward said embarrassedly.
"Okay then." So Karel struck out with lightning and grabbed at Malken's neck.
Seeing that this beautiful elf actually shot at himself, Malken subconsciously stretched out his hand to resist, but the combat power of the two parties was not at the same level, Malken was grabbed by Karel by the neck and fell to the ground heavily, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his nose was bleeding, and just when he was about to get up, he was kicked into the sea by Karel Dong.
Scolding in the sea while struggling desperately.
Karel then picked up a large box full of stinky fish from the side and threw it at him.
The shouting stopped.
"Alright, that's it, let's go, let's go see the battleship." Looking at the pirate floating on the water, Karel clapped his hands and said to Edward.
Ironclad ships, which are ships made of wood or mixed materials, are covered with thick ironclad armor on the outer layer to resist attacks, and in this era of transition from unarmored ships to ironclad ships, they can be regarded as a mainstream vehicle.
The ironclad ship named Napoleon in front of him is 33 meters long and 10 meters wide, it is a medium-sized battleship, with a displacement of 4,100 tons, 2 guns in the front and rear of the ship, and 10 guns on the side of the ship, divided into two layers, and the fire density is very large, but this thing is not enough in Carrel's eyes.
"What the hell is this?" Patting the bronze cannon on the battleship, Karel said with a slight ache.
"This is a naval gun, something used in naval warfare to attack, just stuff this in." An old sailor held a cowhide bag in one hand and a large iron ball in the other, and in the cowhide belt was some black powder, needless to say, it must be black. Fire. Medicine," and then light the fuse behind it, and you can enjoy a large explosion, as powerful as a mage's fire blast technique. ”
The old sailor swaggered triumphantly at Karel.
"I know it's a naval gun, can you shoot it for me?" Karel said.
"Uh......" Hearing Karel's question, the old sailor looked over to Edward, who nodded.
"Good! I'll let you see! With the boss's approval, the old sailor began to play tricks again, first pouring gunpowder, then stuffing it into an iron ball, inserting a fuse, and igniting it!
Rumble! With a loud bang, an iron ball the size of a human head was propelled by gunpowder and bombarded the rock wall in the distance, knocking out a crater with a diameter of 1 meter.
How so? The power is simply weak.
"Aren't you ashamed of that power?" Karel looked at the earthen cannons and complained.
"There's no way around it, we don't have a military factory after all." Edward said embarrassedly.
"Shame? It's the best artillery in Fordtan, and you're a shame on the number of ships that have been sunk by these cuties? Hearing Karel's words, the old sailor blew his beard angrily and glared.
"Since you say so, then let you open your eyes." Saying that, Karel got off the ship from the sampan on the side, after all, this ship is a wooden structure, and it can't be pressed, and something weighing more than 40 tons is estimated to crush through the deck at once.
Rumble! With a loud bang, Karel released the tank from his backpack, and more than 40 tons of steel pressed a large crack in the rocky floor.
"Look, let you open your eyes today, what is the power of wisdom!" Karel opened the lid and drilled in, then turned on the main gun and opened fire at the position where the bombardment had just begun.
Suddenly a loud roar tormented everyone's eardrums. (To be continued......)
