Chapter 176: Interception, Triple Tsunami
Ernesto saw Ji Chen's surprised appearance, and smiled a little proudly: "This tyrannical dragon recruitment camp core, but it is one of my trump card goods, and it is a good treasure with no price when put outside." ”
"And what is its price?"
Ji Chen suppressed the intention in his heart, retracted his gaze and asked out loud.
No matter how good the thing is, if the price is not right, there is no one.
"Oh ~ my friend! I knew you'd be interested, after all, who wouldn't love such a powerful class? ”
"One price, 1.8 million gold coins!"
Rao is Ji Chen had already been mentally prepared, but when he heard this price at this time, he still gasped in his heart.
1,800,000, isn't that almost the number of 2 Edward's treasures?
This amount of gold stacked is enough to fill a small lake, and it can buy twenty or thirty 5-star elemental arrow tower blueprints, 360 3-star treasure shield bracelets, hundreds of 1-star treasures, and a huge amount of resources.
This goblin really dares to bid, and really slaughter him as a fat sheep?
I'm really not afraid to kill myself!?
Although Ji Chen didn't have much idea about the price of the core of the fifth-order military recruitment battalion.
But according to Ernesto's urine and previous performances, this price must have overflowed significantly, at least several times the normal price.
"I can't accept this price, can I reduce it?"
Hearing this, Ernesto's face showed a hint of regret, "Your Excellency Ji Chen, our goblin bids have always been accurate, and this price is very much in line with the value of the core of this class recruitment battalion. ”
The same product can be sold at different prices in different places and in different people's hands.
This fifth-order ocean system recruitment camp core, if it is in the hands of the land lord, the price will fall to the bottom.
If it is in the hands of a half-land and half-sea lord, the price will increase significantly.
If it is on an Island Lord, the price will be multiplied several times.
But if it is in the hands of a very wealthy lord like Ji Chen, who is in desperate demand, the price will overflow infinitely.
According to the bid of the counterparty, this is one of the principles of Ernesto's business.
"Then it can't be helped." Ji Chen shook his head and said.
"That's a shame."
Soon, Ernesto's eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something, and a sly smile appeared on his face.
"My dear friend, if you don't have enough gold coins at hand, you can make up for the difference with something else of similar value."
"Of course, the value of these things is determined by fair goblins."
"Goblins also provide loan services, as long as you mortgage something of high enough value, such as land, port rights, population and labor, real estate, ships, etc., you can get a loan of varying amounts!"
Good guys, these goblins have so many tricks besides ordinary trade?
Loans, mortgages, human trade...
I don't know, I think you are some kind of underworld.
Seeing that Ji Chen was silent, Ernesto thought that he was hesitating and thinking, so he explained enthusiastically.
"Your Excellency's value of this archipelago is not low, the geographical location is very good, if you mortgage the ownership of the remaining islands, you can get a loan of 300,000 gold coins! These ports can also be pledged, but the number of mortgages is slightly less, and only 80,000 gold coins can be pledged. ”
"In addition to these, those orcs, lizardmen, and kobolds are also good quality laborers, and if you sell us their ownership for the next twenty years, you can also mortgage tens of thousands of gold coins."
"As for the monthly interest, it's not high, that's just 9 percent."
After hearing these words, Ji Chen's understanding and three views of these goblins were once again refreshed.
300,000 gold coins want to mortgage the ownership of several islands, 80,000 ports, and even want to mortgage the population.
And there is so little mortgaged land!
And the interest is even more outrageous, if you get a loan of 500,000 gold coins, then the monthly interest is 4,500 gold coins, and a year is 54,000 gold coins.
What is the ultimate black-hearted merchant!?
No, they are black-hearted, and their greed is a little higher than that of humans.
"I can't accept it." Ji Chen held back his anger and refused.
The thoughts in my heart became more and more intense.
"Well, if you have that idea, you must tell me."
Ernesto said again with a look of pity.
Ji Chen didn't pay any attention to this group of goblins, but just let the army and heroes wait here until the goblin merchant ship left, and then waved away with a displeased face.
Ernesto looked at the departing figure, full of confidence.
It believed that this human would empty his net worth to buy this precious recruiting camp core.
But to Ernesto's disappointment, Ji Chen still didn't see Ji Chen until the afternoon when the goblin merchant ship was told to leave immediately.
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But after thinking about it, this transaction alone earned a net profit of more than 200,000 gold coins, which can be regarded as a big profit!
One such transaction will top several other transactions, and I really hope that there will be more wrongdoers like this!
They weren't too afraid of the revenge of the wrongdoers, after all, this heavily armed goblin merchant ship wasn't just used to transport goods, and the alchemical cannons on it were enough to deter any intruding enemy and blow them to pieces!
"Hahaha, little ones, let's go!"
With Ernesto's rather arrogant laughter, the goblin merchant ship slowly sailed out of the harbor and headed off into the distance.
But what they didn't know was that in a dense forest on the island behind them, Ji Chen and his party were watching them leave.
"Is the army already secretly following?"
"Yes, all the Lobster Knights are already following them, but the Naga Berserker, the Dragonblood Fishmen, can't keep up with the speed and is already far behind."
"Then let the Naga Berserkers, the Dragonblood Fishmen, come back, and let only the Lobster Riders follow you, but remember not to let those greedy goblins find out and ruin my plans."
"Yes!"
Looking at the goblin merchant ship that disappeared on the horizon at an extremely fast speed, Ji Chen's eyes were full of coldness.
This group of goblins is destined to taste the beating of society, so that they know what the fate of such arrogance and greed is.
Two days later.
A calm night.
Goblin merchant ships are slowly moving on the sea, goblin warriors patrolling the deck, and several headlights on the roof of the ship are scanning the surrounding sea to prevent possible enemies from approaching.
The main guns have been turned off, but the dozens of secondary guns on the side of the ship are on alert and ready to fire, which is enough to show that this goblin merchant ship is heavily defended.
On the watchtower, two goblins wearing special night vision equipment were looking around boredly.
"Thor, you say, on such a quiet night, why do we still blow the cool breeze here like fools? And those stupid people are sleeping in the cabin? It's also so unfair. ”
"I think so too, but this is the consul's order, and I can't help it."
"Damn it! I don't understand, our ship has such powerful firepower, how can there be something that is not long-sighted, and will take the initiative to provoke! With such a thick barrel, the alchemy bomb fired is enough to kill any enemy! ”
"Indeed, this is the power of technology, only we goblins have ever provoked others, and no one else dares to provoke us!"
"I really want to go down and eat hot soup all night..."
"Wait, Zike, listen, what's that sound?"
Hearing this, the goblin named Zike immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Hear some slightly unusual ocean waves.
"Isn't it just a slightly louder wave? Thor, have you been blown out of your brain by the sea breeze and are hallucinating? ”
However, the goblin named Thor was a little vigilant, and turned a large high beam on his side to shoot it in the direction of the strange sound, and saw a scene that made them terrifying.
At the end of the high beams, a tsunami tens of meters high and several kilometers wide was sweeping towards the goblin merchant ship on the distant sea surface on the north side.
Their pupils suddenly opened, and the nurse, who reacted quickly, quickly pressed the alarm button and used the loudspeaker to transmit his voice.
"Alert - there's a tsunami coming from the north side of the sea!"
"Alert - there's a tsunami coming from the sea on the north side!!"
The terrible siren sounded across the sea in an instant, making the goblin merchant ship, which had been very quiet a second before, explode in an instant, and more than a dozen high beams were turned on, shining on the sea surface on the north side, until the light was blocked by the tsunami.
"Oh my God, why is there no wind and rain, and there is such a turbulent tsunami all of a sudden!?"
"What should we do, such a high tsunami, we will be photographed in the sea!"
When the goblins saw this, they immediately panicked.
The enemy has seen a lot, and it is enough to blow it up with powerful artillery, but in the face of such a "natural disaster", it is somewhat overwhelming.
"Panic!"
At this moment, a sharp voice sounded on the deck, and Ernesto's figure appeared in the wheelhouse, which immediately calmed down the panicked goblins.
"Our boat is powerful enough to dodge the tsunami before it comes!"
"Power Five! Burn the wind!! ”
With a command, a large puff of smoke erupted from the goblin merchant ship's chimney, and the propeller at the stern of the ship spun rapidly, pushing the merchant ship forward quickly.
This speed is several times faster than the fastest speed of ordinary wooden sail warships, and it is steadily accelerating.
In just a dozen seconds, he was about to get out of the tsunami-hit orbit.
Before the goblins could rejoice, they saw that the tsunami had slowly deviated from its original trajectory and had stumbled into the direction they were now in, and seemed to speed up a bit.
In desperation, the goblin merchant ship sped up again and fled before the tsunami arrived.
"Great, so we can get out of the tsunami safely... Nani? How is this possible!? ”
The goblins were stunned, as if they had seen something incredible.
The tsunami, which was supposed to roll over the sea a few hundred meters from the tail of the goblin merchant ship, turned around and struck towards their tail.
Although the bend of the bend is not large, only twenty or thirty degrees, it is enough to make them doubt life.
"This can't be!!"
Ernesto screamed, his eyes widening as if he had seen a ghost, but he reacted quickly.
It's the goblin mother's who is behind it!
Now, there was not much time for it to think, and there was only two or three kilometers between the two, which was no longer enough for the ship to dodge.
Gritted his teeth.
Ernesto shouted with a distressed face: "Open the goblin energy shield immediately!" ”
"Yes!"
Soon, in just a few seconds, a stream of blue energy shot out from somewhere on the ship, shot into the air more than ten meters above the watchtower, and spread like water in all directions, gradually forming an inverted bowl, enveloping the entire goblin merchant ship, impermeable.
In the blink of an eye, the tsunami, carrying a majestic force, crashed into the protective shield.
Knock –
The water splashed into the sky.
The huge impact knocked the goblins to the ground, and they were dizzy.
The goblins crashed into the deck, and blood flowed all over the hull.
From the outside.
The shield was like a hammer and was full of cracks, but it managed to completely block the tsunami's attack.
Seeing this scene, the goblins who survived the catastrophe immediately cheered.
"Technology is power! Long live the Goblin Energy Shield! ”
"Long live Lord Ernesto!"
Ernesto stood up against the railing, reached out and waved his crooked hat, and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked outside.
But before it could say anything, two more tsunamis suddenly broke out on the sea in the distance, much bigger than the one at the beginning!
The huge impact of the first tsunami just now made the goblin merchant ship temporarily lose most of its power, and at this time it could only move at a turtle speed, so it could only watch the last two tsunamis, one after the other, crash into the protective shield.
Boom –
Kela –
Boom –
Two loud crashes, accompanied by the sound of glass breaking, exploded the shield under the impact of the third tsunami.
Hundreds of millions of tons of seawater covered the entire Goblin merchant ship, slamming its hull to the left and the sea almost touching the deck.
The goblins on the deck were swept away with just a breath and disappeared into the pitch black sea.
The sea water slammed into the cockpit, and the huge impact force instantly shattered the special translucent glass on the right side, and the broken glass was like a piece of sharp blades, setting off a storm in the cab.
In an instant, flesh and blood splattered.
Fortunately, the hull of the Goblin Merchant Ship was made of metal and specially reinforced, so that the keel and hull were not damaged except for the serious damage of the buildings above deck.
After the tsunami swept by, it staggered and straightened its hull, revealing a messy deck.
"Damn it!"
In the messy cockpit, Ernesto once again leaned against the wall, clutching his bleeding forehead and struggling to his feet.
Just now, the tsunami broke through the protective shield and was about to hit the hull of the ship, it crouched down in time and hid behind the wall, not being hurt by the glass shards, but Rao was still hit by the huge impact on the other side of the wall, knocking its head into the flash.
But in the cab, apart from it, the rest of the goblins were dead anymore.
At this time, its eyes were still dizzy, dizzy, and its eyes were blurred for a while.
When the field of vision recovered a little, he suddenly saw a figure walking on the sea in the distance, illuminated by the few remaining high beams.
Ernesto's eyes widened in anger, wanting to see who was responsible for making them like this!
On it together
