As the railroad stretched farther and farther away day by day, the heat of summer gradually began to subside, and more and more ships anchored at the docks of Black Iron Town increased. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It was the golden season for the river merchants, who came laden with food and supplies, returned with gold coins, and made a smile every time.

However, in recent days, Renault has noticed that there are many fewer ships on the docks, and some wine merchants have piled up tall barrels on the docks, but there are no empty boats.

At the same time, news came back from Little Wolf Castle, and the situation there was similar to that of Black Iron Town, as if most of the ships on the Nibel River had suddenly disappeared.

Someone was playing tricks on it, and Renault was about to take the Vivi to the Nibel River to inspect the situation at Little Wolf Castle, so Hawkeye Hank also rushed over from the royal capital.

He brought back the not-so-very good news that the merchant ships on the Nibel River, after two months of tandem, had formed a new alliance, the Crescent Merchant Ship Alliance, in an attempt to dominate the entire river as Wolf had done before.

Some merchant ships that were unwilling to join the alliance were either sabotaged at the docks or attacked by the Luna Cult in the Central Grand Canyon, causing heavy losses.

"It seems that there is still the Luna Cult manipulating after this incident. Hawkeye Hank analyzed sharply, "Now the Nibel River is full of the flags of the Crescent Merchant Marine Alliance, and there are speedboat cruises, and the docks of Little Wolf Castle are also crowded with their merchant ships. Other merchant ships either put their ships in the dock or went downstream. ”

This is to become the River Overlord, and Renault has long expected such a day. Wolf was destroyed by him, and those merchant ships would definitely rebel against him, but they didn't expect them to collude with the Luna Cult.

This is called "the enemy of the enemy is the friend".

"Lord Renault, you have to think of a way, otherwise not only will there be problems with the transportation of materials in Black Iron Town, but the business of Little Wolf Castle and the entire north will be affected. ”

"Don't worry, you can visit my new ship first. ”

Ten steel steamers were quietly moored by the docks, where the blacksmith Ferret was leading his workers to install their main guns, and Captain Raphael was busy training the crew.

Looking at these ten behemoths, Hawkeye Hank couldn't believe his eyes.

It's only been a long time for Renault to build so many big ships, and all of them are steel structures.

Not to mention the seemingly intimidating cannon, just driving the boat to crash into the wooden boat will be smashed to pieces, how many other boats on the Nibel River can compare to them?

And these ships have no masts or sails, and the steel is so heavy, how on earth did they float on the water, and how did they drive it? Hank was so shocked that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

In front of such a powerful fleet, the question he had just been anxious about suddenly became so insignificant.

He thought of the strange machine he had seen before. It seems that Renault really studied it successfully and used it to power these ships.

"I think you must be curious about the speed of these ships, go and feel it, my friend. ”

Renault asked Raphael to take Hank around the river, and when he returned to the surface again, the expression on Hank's face completely cleared, and there was no trace of worry.

"I can't wait to see the stinky faces of those Crescent Merchant Marine Alliance guys," he said happily.

In order to maintain its speed, the Vivi left the docks of Black Iron with only half of its cargo. Her goal this time is to transport Hank's liquor and toilet paper to Wolf Castle and clean up the Crescent Merchant Marine Alliance ships on the Nibel River.

Since Renault took Wolf Castle, Wolf's share of the spirits had been given to Hank, which made him very brainless and recruited many people to take over the business.

In the past, he was reluctant to do such a laborious business, but he knew that Renault gave him these shares, in addition to showing the friendly cooperation between the two, and more importantly, because he was the only one who had the ability to make the spirits of Black Iron Town sell smoothly in the North.

In early autumn, the surface of the Nibel River has begun to fill with a light mist, and ten huge steel ships leave the Liucui River and enter the wide channel.

As soon as I entered the Central Grand Canyon, I was greeted by five speedboats.

The flag fluttering on the speedboat with a crescent moon painted on it is none other than the new overlord on the Nibel River, the Crescent Merchant Marine Alliance.

"Stop the boat and get inspected!"

Five speedboats soon surrounded the Vivi, and the sailors on board were all vicious. The Vivi was huge, and it was difficult to see clearly in the fog, but it was vaguely visible that it was a new ship that had not been completed, not even a mast, but a large size, which made the sailors suddenly excited.

If you tow this ship back, it will definitely sell for a good price.

Renault and Hank stepped onto deck, and the Crescent Alliance speedboat was about ten meters long, equipped with twin sails and 16 long oars, and once it slid with all its might, it was extremely fast.

"Lord Renault, you're all set. ”

Lauren sat on the turret and shouted, he had long wanted to try the howitzers on this ship, it was said that it was basically a straight line, aiming wherever it was, and it was more enjoyable than setting off fireworks.

"Do you need such a waste? Just turn the rudder and sink them. Renault said flatly.

Temporary captain Raphael hated these river overlords for a long time, and as soon as he turned the rudder, he crashed into a speedboat on the right side of the ship.

The speedboat had no time to dodge and was smashed to pieces with a thud, and the sailors jumped into the water in horror, while Vivi was nothing more than a minor shock.

The other speedboats immediately avoided when they saw that the situation was not good, and they looked at the Weiwei in amazement, wondering why this ship dared to crash directly into it, weren't they afraid that their hull would be damaged?

However, this boat was too terrifying, and the ten-meter-long speedboat was actually sunk in an instant, but fortunately it escaped quickly.

Boom -

The sailors on a speedboat were rejoicing when a howitzer suddenly hit the side of the ship, a large hole was punched in the hull, and a violent explosion suddenly broke out in the cabin.

Broken wood flew sideways, and another speedboat disintegrated in an instant, and this time the sailors on board were not so lucky, all buried at the bottom of the river, and the blood stained a huge surface of the water.

"Paddling!"

The remaining three speedboats were like ghosts, and they never had the courage to look at the giant ship again. They rowed desperately upstream, hoping to get away from the strange ship.

But soon they were desperate, and in the faint white mist, nine large ships identical to the Vivi broke out.

Everyone was shocked, they had never seen a ship moving so fast!

The boats were as large and swift as sea monsters, and they had no room to escape, and the wooden boats were smashed into pieces on the river. (To be continued.) )
