Chapter Twenty-Nine: I Fell in Love with This Cannon

Ori was stunned for a moment and then smiled, laughing so hard that tears fell down in a daze, in fact, these few pirates who surrendered have always been very uneasy in their hearts, because in this era, captives have no human rights, and they are not nobles.

Captives have the same status as slaves, and even if they are executed by nobles for no reason, it is not uncommon, so they are always afraid that when the oriental nobleman in front of them will look at them unpleasantly, they will directly throw them into the sea to feed the fish.

But now, the Oriental nobleman actually said that they should open the box, and promised to be promoted to the rank of artillery commander if they could fire the fine iron cannon, which made them very happy, not because they had the opportunity to be promoted to the artillery commander, but because they finally knew that in the eyes of the Oriental nobleman, their status was not so low, and His Excellency the Baron was giving them the opportunity to make them loyal.

There were eight of them, eight Englishmen, and they knelt down on one knee together, and their right hand touched their left chest: "Your Excellency, we are willing to swear allegiance to you, and we will be loyal to you in our lifetime, and the point of your sword is the direction in which we are going." ”

The fat man was stunned, what does this mean? He just saw that the group of British guys standing alone seemed to be very unsociable, so he kindly called one over and asked him to open the box, who knew that such a scene would be made.

"Your Excellency, they are a salute of allegiance to you, you can just accept them as your retainers, if you feel that they are loyal in a few years, you can give them the title of knight, you must know that in our Spain, the baron can give two knights, the status is equivalent to that of a lord! Anyway, your retainers and subordinates have all fallen into the sea, and their fate is unknown. Lord William looked excited, as if the other party was loyal to him.

"Oh!" The fat man turned on the function and looked at the names on their heads, and the names on the heads of the eight people had really turned blue, and he was happy in his heart: "Okay!" So what do I do next? I haven't experienced anything like this yet. ”

"All you have to do is go over, pull out the sword from your waist, and put it on their shoulders, and say, I accept your allegiance, and give them your last name, and that's it! Now it's eight people, and you can do it once per person, so it's not too much of a hassle. "Lord William has a lot of experience, he has seen a lot.

According to Lord William's teaching, after everyone's allegiance was accepted, the names of Ori and the others were followed by the surname Chen; Everyone in the hotel applauded in unison!

This is something that benefits both parties, the fat man got the sincere allegiance of his subordinates, and the surrendered British pirates also found a little reliance, at least, the status of the retainers is much higher than that of slaves, no one will let the retainers die for no reason, slaves and captives are different, so, from the fat man accepted their allegiance, even if they found the backbone, even if someone wanted to deal with him, they had to consider the feelings of the fat baron.

Lord William reminded the fat man again: "Now you should ask everyone here to drink a glass of ale, which costs a silver coin and a glass of ale!" ”

The fat man also felt happy today, so he said loudly: "Good! There is a good thing today, a great good thing, so I am very happy and decided to invite everyone to a glass of ale, now open the box first, and after opening the box, go to drink! ”

"Good! Unpacking ......"

The first to open the box was Ori, and as soon as he opened the box, the fat man knew that he was driving a fine iron howitzer, because the name showed it.

But others don't know! Lord William walked over and searched, and finally found it under the cannon, the specifications, which proved to be a fine iron howitzer, and there was a maximum range of shells on it, and so on, so Lord William turned back and announced: "This is a fine iron cannon, it is a howitzer, and it fires four-pound shells." ”

"Wow! O Artillery Commander! ”

The sailors shouted loudly and rejoiced.

"Good! Then you will be the artillery chief on my Chang'an from now on, and now we will see how my first mate's luck is! The fat man laughed too.

"No problem! Look at me! Arthur also opened the worn arms box in high spirits.

"Wow! Today, this nobleman's luck is really good, and he actually fired fine iron cannons twice in a row, which is too lucky! Someone sighed.

Arthur smiled, very proud: "Lord Baron, it seems that I am also lucky!" ”

The fat man also smiled: "It's not just that you're lucky, I find that I'm luckier, isn't it?" ”

Lord William was envious: "Yes, you are all very lucky, fine iron cannons, I envy it, you must know that I used to buy artillery from arms dealers, but the arms dealers only have the worst iron cannons, and they are too expensive, to be honest, your Excellency the baron, I am jealous, really!" ”

Everyone laughed, and the fat man laughed: "Good! For the last one, let's witness the luck of the giant Ethan! ”

Ethan leaned over and saluted the fat man, "I'll show you my luck, Your Excellency the Baron." ”

It turned out that Ethan and the fat man were lucky today, when the giant man opened the sturdy arms box, everyone gathered around felt a purple light flash in front of them, and in the long arms box, a huge cannon was lying quietly at the bottom of the box.

Looking at the slender, huge and hideous cannon, the onlookers gasped, Lord William was a knowledgeable person: "So big! Such a long artillery, it can't be an iron cannon, this is a howitzer, the lowest is also a howitzer made of steel, I haven't seen this either, I have to take a closer look. ”

Finally finding the inscription on the cannon, Lord William exclaimed in surprise: "Lord! O my Lord! This is a stainless steel cannon! This is a steel howitzer, Lord! Dear Baron, are you an angel from heaven? Why does good luck always favor you again and again, it makes me feel so unbalanced! ”

This is a steel cannon? The fat man was pleasantly surprised to turn on the display function, and found that the gun emitted purple light, and then the name, range, caliber, and armor piercing were all on it, but there was no data on the lethality of those guns in the original game.

Of course, it is undeniable that a good gun, firepower, range, the weight of the fired shells, etc., if two gunners of the same level fight each other, then the iron gun equipped with better artillery will win.

Lord William was still there holding the cannon and not letting go, when suddenly a group of people crowded in, speaking not very proficient Spanish: "Hey! Man, I've got a crush on this cannon, let's make a price! ”

When he said this, the people who were still making a commotion in the audience suddenly quieted down, and they all looked at the people with idiotic eyes.

The people who came were all a group of rude men with five big and three thick, the first one was one meter tall, with a beard on his face, and blonde hair on his head, Lord William frowned: "British? ”

The man rudely stepped forward and patted the steel cannon in the arsenal box, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes: "Say it! How many gold coins do you want, don't worry! We are rich British, and as long as you make an offer, we can afford to pay the gold coins. ”

"British, are you idiots? Any idea what kind of cannon this is? This is a stainless steel howitzer, if it is at sea, like your two-masted merchant ships, it can be destroyed with a single shot, such a good goods, can it be bought with gold coins? Lord William felt that the other party was insulting his intelligence.

"Man, don't talk to me like that, do you know who I am? I'm Figo, have you heard of Figo the shark? The blonde man touched the beard on his face.

"Figo the shark? Oh! Oh, my God! Isn't this scoundrel always active in the Strait of Gibraltar! How did you get to Casablanca? Oh, my God! Will the steel cannon of His Excellency the Baron, dressed in strange and luxurious clothes, fall into the hands of this scoundrel? I heard that this guy has gold coins in his hand, so have we used the Strait of Gibraltar? Oh! This is crazy! Then a captain in a corner of the hotel complained to another man next to him.

Lord William apparently heard the captain's words as well, and then looked at Figo a few times and didn't see any noble signs on his body, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Shark Figo?" No, haven't you heard of you, are you a famous nobleman? I heard you're a villain, right? If you're a villain, then I'm sorry, I'm a nobleman and very, very disdainful of dealing with villains. ”

The fat man threw Figo a scout, that is, the display function, and it turned out that this Figo was still a character: Lut. Figo, a 16-level seafarer, a 16-level trader, and a 16-level combatant, was an English unemployed man nicknamed the Shark, who often engaged in offshore smuggling between the ports of Gibraltar, and sometimes made a cameo appearance as a pirate, ransacking the weaker fleets he encountered, and some people commented that he was a villain.

If it weren't for the port, if it weren't for Lord William being a nobleman, then now Figo would be able to crush Lord William, after all, Figo, who is more than 1.9 meters tall and at least 130 kilograms, has a great advantage over Lord William's small body of 1.8 meters and a head of less than 100 kilograms, and the team of tall men behind him seems to be a group of offshore smugglers with him.

All right! Lord William can't be allowed to draw any more firepower to himself. After all, Lord William still has to eat in this sea, and when he goes out into the sea, Figo, an offshore smuggler with all three abilities of level 16, beats him a merchant ship owner who fights several levels, as if he is playing, unless Lord William can afford a three-masted galleon right away, or can get better guns.

It's a pity that the three-masted ship can't be bought, he asked Lord William, the best ship that can be bought in the port is a medium-sized row boat, and the more advanced ship has to be upgraded to a certain national task, and the country will reward the captain with a certain good ship map, and the cannon is even more difficult, go to the Maritime Academy to play exercises, make imaginary enemies to the students in the academy, and after winning the opponent played by the students inside, you will get the opportunity to shake the roulette jackpot, get the arms box and gold coins, or pirate pockets, etc., If you're lucky, you can fire a purple cannon like today's fat man, of course, provided that your luck can go against the sky like today's fat man.

"Hey! You're the villain Figo, right? I'm Vincent. Before the fat man could walk over, a stout bearded man with two meters and two or three meters had already walked out: "Captain of the Seagull, Vincent, this cannon is the first thing I took a fancy to, you know?" I'll buy it, little man! ”

Figo, who is 1.9 meters tall, turned into a small man in front of Vincent, and that's right, Figo was a head shorter in front of Vincent.

Everyone watched the two of them fight the bull there, but they didn't speak, in fact, they just wanted to see how this famous villain would deal with Vincent in front of Tarzan, who was like Tarzan.

Suddenly, Figo moved, he held Vincent's chin with one hand, hugged the other's calf with the other, and then with a bang, the huge Vincent fell, Figo immediately straddled Vincent at this time, picked up the opponent's head, and smashed the back of the opponent's head to the ground.

One, two, three, and then, dizzy.

Figo stood up, raised his hands, Vincent's blood still dripping from them, ignored the sailors who were moving Vincent out, and shouted loudly to the people around him, "Is there anyone else, come and grab this cannon with me?" Anything else? ”

There was silence all around.

"Figo the shark?" Just as Figo turned his face to Lord William, the fat man walked over and said with a smile, "Are you looking for the wrong person?" The steel howitzer in front of you is not his, the owner of the cannon is me! ”
