Act 279 Recruiting cannon fodder
The pirates stared at the collar in a daze, and felt a tingling in their necks.
Sky! The plank was made of fist-thick oak! Can you blow up such a thick oak wood and blow up your own neck!?
As soon as they thought of this, those pirates who planned to find a chance to escape in the future immediately extinguished this thought, and could only lament that they were unlucky, how did they encounter a monster from the other side of the Endless Sea this time!
A daring pirate raised his hand tremblingly and asked, "Can I know what our work will be in the future?" ”
Bai Gang smiled: "Don't worry, it's what you are best at." ”
The pirate was stunned for a moment, but then realized that His Majesty the King was planning to make them his "fur seals"!
The so-called "fur seals" are official pirates raised by the major kingdoms, specializing in plundering the merchant ships of hostile countries, and after the looting, they can swagger back to their masters' houses to sell the stolen goods!
Although it is inevitable to pay a large amount of protection money to the master, but after all, the identity is whitewashed! At least within the master's sphere of influence, they can swagger and spend time on the streets!
This is much better than the previous black life of a black family who made money and had no land to spend!
However, the glory of the "sea seal" has become a thing of the past, at that time, the internal struggle within the human kingdom was fierce, so the "sea seal" will prevail, but at this time, the alien threat faced by humans is too great, so that the vast majority of internal strife has turned into a conspiracy contention, and it is very rare to really do it.
I just don't know what His Majesty the King in front of me wants to do.
Bai Gang stretched out two fingers and said, "You have two things in total.
First, help me find the pirates who don't have the backing of a powerful force behind them and devour them!
Second, I need you to map the waters around here! ”
After Bai Gang's words, all the pirates fell into a state of stupor, and after a while, the pirate who asked the question just now was the first to react, and he spoke again with a cower.
"That...... Your Majesty, you can get ...... We are very ...... to get your appreciation. I'm very proud, but I'm afraid we can't really do what you said......"
As he spoke, the pirate's face turned bitter.
"Our most powerful ships have been sunk by you, and the remaining ships are not very good at fighting, so if you want to fight other pirates, you really don't have a good chance of winning......
Also, there is such a thing as surveying and mapping nautical charts...... That's something that only navigators understand, and we're ordinary sailors who are not qualified to learn that kind of awesome technique.
Moreover, the best of us have savings, and they can redeem themselves, and without them we would not be able to fulfill your majesty's commands. ”
As soon as the pirate finished speaking, he won the approval of the others.
They're just a bunch of defeated soldiers now, and they want to swallow up the others!? It's just a joke! And those big and small pirate leaders are redeemed and gone, and it's okay to rely on these sailors who don't know a single big word to drive the ship, but surveying and mapping charts!?
They would rather jump onto someone else's boat with a knife in their hand and play with someone else's life!
To the pirates' questions, White Steel just smiled indifferently.
"It doesn't matter if the boat is bad, I'll give it to you. What do you think of my boat? ”
The pirates' gasps suddenly became heavy, who wouldn't want to have a good ship for a living at sea!? Could it be that His Majesty the King intends to give us a steel battleship!?
What's so difficult about crossing the sea!?
It's just a bunch of small pirates who can't make a climate, and it's easy to sweep them away!
But before the pirates could YY enough, White Steel poured cold water on them.
"Of course, in the beginning you had to build on these ships.
You'll have a new automated composite sail that's lighter and more durable, and the entire sail can be controlled by the Captain's command.
In addition to the sails, you'll also get the easy version of the Caron, which isn't as powerful as the one I used on my ship in the battle, but it's definitely much better than your ballista!
Every time you complete a mission, you can get contribution points, and if you have enough contribution points, you can exchange them for more advanced equipment from me, as long as you complete enough tasks, then even a real steel battleship is not impossible to give you!
As for surveying and mapping charts, don't worry about this, the ship spirit will do everything. ”
The renovation plan that Bai Gang said was to use the modern automatic control system of the sailing ship to modify the power of the corsair, and at the same time give them some original versions of the artillery.
The so-called Caron cannon, simply put, is a short and thick cannon for sailing ships, with great power and low recoil, but the range is extremely close and the accuracy is also touching!
The reason why this kind of cannon was popular in the era of sails was because at that time, everyone could not shoot accurately on the shaking hull, and the artillery battle was almost close to the face.
The Caron cannon provided to the pirates was naturally not a black powder cannon, and the white steel didn't have the energy to tinker with things specifically for a group of pirates, but it was just a simple cannon made by the processing plant, and it was improvised.
But even so, this thing is thrown out of the pirates' ballista N streets!
As for surveying and mapping, it is natural to equip the sailboat with those automated surveying and mapping equipment, and then the sailboat needs to return to the storm corner for regular maintenance to keep these equipment running.
The pirates don't know anything about automatic sail control, but they know ship spirits and steel ships!
The ship spirit is a legend that is passed down by all the people who beg for a living at sea, it is said that only those legendary warships can have their own souls, and now, that His Majesty actually said that he would give them these tattered pirate ship ship spirits!?
If such a legendary thing as the ship spirit can be given, then isn't this King the legendary god of the sea!?
Also, if you work hard to complete the mission, you can get the Iron Battleship!?
Sky! That's a steel battleship! Steel that can float on the surface of the sea!
At this time, the pirates looked at Bai Gang's eyes with a hint of fanaticism, and a thought vaguely appeared in their hearts - the only person who can do such a magical thing is probably Lord Seagod!
Think of what this legendary King did – cross the endless sea that no one can set foot in, and remove the storm that never subsides at Cape Storm!
This is really the god of the sea!
They can actually do things for the sea god next!? That's a lot better than being a pirate!
The next move of White Steel brought the pirate frenzy to a certain point.
"Whoa!"
White Steel threw out a handful of Mithril coins!
"These are Mithril Coins! Coins minted by Mithril! I promise that each of you will be scored for each completed mission, and depending on your performance, you will be rewarded with varying amounts of Mithril Coins! The tenth is paid annually, and the rest is paid after the expiration of your contract. ”
