Section 36: Resupply back to port
The sun is blazing.
The sails were swollen with the wind blowing, and three ships pierced the sea, rapidly approaching the Crescent Harbor.
The lighthouse was aware of this and immediately issued a report - the Justice returned!
"It's time to calculate the time. When the Imperial receptionist received the news, he immediately walked out of the dock and stood on the dock with a telescope raised to look into the distance.
He was not surprised by the arrival of the Justice, because the knight boy had made an appointment with him in advance.
This is a required process.
Because this is secret work, it needs to be kept secret. Generally speaking, it is a one-line contact. Only by communicating in advance and obtaining permission can the Justice be able to be resupplied in the secret port.
In this way, it is unlikely that the other lines of the Imperial Secret will collide with each other.
The knight boy didn't know which pirate the empire was recruiting against. The golden chin and the sea snake woman are special cases.
In the binoculars, you can see the sea at a glance.
The Justice is the most notable.
It was a three-masted galleon with a wide hull and a bow and stern towers that overhung both ends of the ship. There is no bow statue yet.
The hull is 80 meters long, 36 meters wide and 15 meters high. 3 decks, 24 gun ports, can carry about 500 people.
It is wide at the top and pointed at the bottom, with a smooth hull, and is one of the latest models of the Shengming Empire.
"The hull is new and there are no visible scars. The receptionist said secretly, "It seems that the few battles fought by the dragon suit are indeed very easy." ”
He was very familiar with the Justice, but the Rapids next to him seemed unfamiliar.
"Rapids......" muttered the receptionist, who had heard of the pirate ship.
It is a bronze-class pirate ship.
As a silver-tier bard, Leaky has a Bronze-tier magical ship instead of a Black Iron tier. This is actually a common situation in the seven seas.
Not all pirates have backers. Even if you have a backer, you may not have the ability or technology to build a black iron-level magic energy ship.
The Knight Boy was able to easily own a Black Iron Class Justice, which was a huge advantage in relying on the Empire.
It is precisely because of this that a body of ash was able to break through bronze, and killed the original first mate on the Rapids. If the Rapids is at the Black Iron level, then the defense is different.
The Rapids has two masts and a single deck.
On the surface of the sea, it behaves very briskly.
This type of ship, although old, was preferred by most pirates. Because of the speed of such ships, it is easy to catch up with bulky merchant ships. With a navy or a powerful armed ship, they are often able to escape.
At the stern of the Riptide, there are two large holes. It's a magic device that shoots out a fierce stream of water from a hole in the water at a critical moment.
The water is so strong that it can make the speed of the Rapids skyrocket.
"There's still a lot of room for the Rapids to improve. Maybe you can raise it to the Black Iron level. The receptionist kept assessing in his mind.
The damage to the Rapids is also not noticeable.
In fact, compared to this pirate ship, its pirate ship flute leak is more famous.
The leaky urine flow song, the urine smell is full, and the people who are recruited are all impressed.
To the right of the Justice is the Little Bird.
It also has two masts, but is much smaller than the Justice and smaller than the Rapids. There were quite a lot of gun doors, 12 of them, and five on each side of the ship. The remaining two are listed in the bow and stern.
But the artillery is basically ordinary artillery.
"It's an ordinary ship. It can be transformed to load a part of the armament and magic costume. Overall, there isn't much potential to be tapped. ”
"The luck of this gang is really good. It's only been a dozen days. ”
The receptionist sighed in his heart.
He still vividly remembers the day the Justice set sail.
When they went out, Long Fu and the others only had the ship Justice. And now, in less than half a month, it has expanded to three ships when it comes back.
The receptionist knows a lot about the Righteous Pirates' HNA this time.
006 is no longer on the Justice, but the relevant information is that the Knight Boy, Mane Ge and others took the initiative to use Swift Eagle to report to him.
After all, he is a member of the Empire's secret spy mission, which is also stipulated in the content of the agreement when the agreement was signed.
As a result, the receptionist knew a lot about the Justice, the Birdie, and the Rapids.
The subduing of the Birdie was the Dragon's suit that forced the Birdie to surrender. The Justice is full of power and obviously strong, and the possibility of surrender is not small. But it is still relatively rare for the captain of the Little Bird to surrender so neatly.
Packing up the Rapids, I was really lucky, and I happened to encounter the Rapids for supplies. A gray decisive raid, the dragon suit and the lion banner and others reinforced in time, and finally succeeded. The rapids did not play to their own strengths.
The receptionist knew that if they did meet on the sea, the Justice might not be able to capture the Rapids.
The three ships stopped at the dock together, and the sailors had already gathered on deck, rushing down the pedals with the good wages they had just been distributed.
Of course, the knight boy also left enough men to watch over the ship.
The people were almost gone, and the knight boy and the others got off the boat one after another. Trade Winds Literature Network
The receptionist was standing on the dock, and when he saw the upper echelons of the Justice Pirates, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
The knight boy is already in the form of a dragonman, with a dragon's head and a human body, full of majesty.
"Did you use that bloodline stabilizer to finally stabilize Yanlong's bloodline?" said the receptionist.
In this way, the strength of the dragon service has risen and it has more potential.
He then looked at the lion banner (mane), who carried the spirit of the army in his every move. The receptionist also keenly noticed that the lion flag was still coming down from the Little Bird.
It seems that Longfu trusts Lion Banner very much and sends him out.
The lion flag is the pinnacle of silver, close to gold. The dragon suit is only silver-level, and his strength as a leader is slightly inferior to his subordinates. This is relatively rare.
However, Lion Banner is loyal to the Dragon Suit, and the Dragon Suit also trusts the Lion Banner.
The relationship between the two made the receptionist a little envious.
You must know that once the members of many groups surpass the leader, they will often grow their ambitions and take the initiative to break away and work alone. If you stay in the original group, you will often be suspicious and suppressed by the leader.
That's normal.
The receptionist's gaze then shifted to the gray body.
This orc captain with a small reputation, dressed in a delicate gown, has a straight posture. He followed behind the dragon boy and was silent.
The receptionist's heart moved: "A gray body was originally a member of the Firebeard Pirate Regiment, but he still followed the dragon suit. ”
"Could it be that the dragon suit has the charm of a leader and is already gradually conquering a body of ashes?"
The receptionist noticed the beard again.
"He's the wild magician called Old Bell?"
When Cangsu appeared as a magician, it caused quite a stir.
"To be able to get such a magician to join at the beginning of the voyage, the luck of the dragon suit is really good!"
"I heard that there was also a black iron-level goblin knife hand joining at that time. The goblin is not to be trusted, I wonder if the dragon suit has signed a contract with him?"
Finally, the receptionist's gaze rests on the birdie at the end of the line.
The two men each carried two large boxes.
"Although Bird is only at the Black Iron level, he has served as a captain and has a lot of experience. It is said that he was also a master of gunnery. ”
"Leaky ......"
The receptionist was a little happy when he saw the unlucky appearance of the flute's leaky nose and swollen face.
Leaky is a wanted criminal, and the bounty is as high as 10,000 gold coins. But since he joined the Justice Pirates, he is a member of the Empire.
"Welcome, welcome, see you again, your lordships are more beautiful than ever. The receptionist pressed down on the flood of thoughts, stepped forward, and greeted the knight boy and the others with a smile on his face.
He then ushered the group into the reception room. Milk tea and pastries were already prepared in the reception room.
The dragon boy had no intention of eating these: "Let's get down to business first." Count the contents of these boxes to be sold to the Empire. ”
The receptionist summoned two scholars to make a value estimate on the spot.
The chest was opened, and it was full of belongings, spellcasting materials, and so on.
The two scholars were slightly surprised.
"There's a lot of cargo in the Rapids' hold to sell to you. The dragon boy continued.
After estimating the two large boxes, the two scholars went to the cabin to inspect them.
They worked very efficiently and got results shortly after.
"Captain Longfu, this time you have gained a lot. When the receptionist saw the estimation results, he sighed heartily.
He knew that many times, pirates paid a heavy price and plundered merchant ships, and even if they got a huge amount of goods, the net profit was not necessarily more than what the dragon boy gained this time.
Little Bird and Flute Leak were also a little surprised by this result.
They subconsciously looked at each other, both with sympathy and sympathy.
Speaking of which, both of them are victims of the Righteous Pirates, unlucky children who have been robbed.
But they didn't know that the biggest sufferer was not the two of them, but the necromancer with the secret chamber under the sea.
The value of the belongings obtained from the secret chamber under the sea is enormous.
In order to avoid suspicion, the knight boy and the others only took out a part of it last time. This time, some of the things that were taken out to be sold to the empire were also mixed in. The remaining part, the Knight Boys, plans to sell to the Empire in the third supply.
Even if the third supply is completed in the future, there will still be some harvest in their hands. But these gains are more sensitive, and the knight boy and others do not intend to sell them to the empire. The black market is an ideal place for them to write off their debts.
As for the valuation results on the imperial side, the dragon boy and others are meaningless.
As early as on the ship, two people, mainly Fat Tongue and Cang Xu, made a detailed assessment of the goods sold this time.
Now they get more valuation results than they do privately.
From this, you can also get a glimpse of the king of the Shengming Empire.
"Such a high valuation, to be honest, was a bit unexpected to me. Captain Dragon, I suggest you take advantage of these privileges to exchange for the Silver tier. This way, you'll be able to buy most of the Silver resources. After all, there are not a few in your pirate group at the silver level. The receptionist suggested.
