Chapter 586: The Shipwright and the Storm!

For the blade of the sky, Zhao Hao had already seen that the other party was unhappy.

It's just that because the two sides haven't had a chance to meet for the time being, they didn't trouble each other, but it doesn't mean that they forgot each other.

Of course, he will make trouble for the other party when he has the chance.

The benefits are well distributed, and the participants are confirmed in the next plan, so of course Zhao Hao will not stay in the future.

After all, his stuff is not in this port.

"Hopefully, the next time we meet, you'll be ready!"

Zhao Hao took people from the port to a small transport ship.

After the transport ship traveled more than ten nautical miles in one direction to the sea, it spotted a fleet of high-sea merchant ships the size of deep-sea behemoths.

The fleet did not return to the territory first.

If there is no Zhao Hao in charge, it will be troublesome to encounter some danger halfway, these are merchant ships and not warships.

The small transport ship that Zhao Hao and his team took was actually not small, but in front of these large offshore merchant ships with an average of more than 200 meters, it was completely the difference between apples and watermelons, and it was not worth mentioning at all.

Wow!

The rope ladder was thrown down the side of the largest five-masted merchant ship, allowing Zhao Hao and them to board the ship.

As for small transport ships?.

Naturally, it is to give up directly, anyway, there are no sailors on it.

"My lord, welcome to the Storm Fleet!"

Charlotte greeted her in a very good mood.

No matter who you are, you will be in a good mood if you harvest 24 large and 1 giant offshore merchant ships at one time.

"Hmm!" Zhao Hao's gaze swept over the four-headed golden dragon and the mountain of goods that were crawling on the deck, and nodded: "Let's start the boat!" ”

Next, it is necessary to return these treasures to the territory as soon as possible.

Baby!

Yes, in Zhao Hao's eyes, far-sea vessels, shipwrights, drawings, and shipbuilding equipment are treasures, but ordnance and materials are not.

The flotilla began to sail.

Due to the small number of sailors, the lower limit is met, and it is not expected that these offshore merchant ships will be very flexible.

But it's okay, they dare to do this, naturally they are fully prepared.

From here to the Storm Territory, although it is a very long detour, it is not a far sea, there is no need to worry about encountering too much wind and waves, and there is a Naga Siren escort under the surface of the water, so there is no need to worry about safety at all.

"How's the boatsmiths doing?"

Zhao Hao looked at Charlotte, he had been busy before, but he didn't know the specific harvest.

"My lord, we have brought back one hundred and thirty shipwrights and thousands of apprentices, as well as their families, including a master shipwright!"

Charlotte naturally counted the harvest, so she said it as soon as she heard the inquiry.

Note that a shipwright is an existence that can lead people to build a complete ship, and depending on the size and type of ship built, it is also divided into low, intermediate, advanced, expert, master, and grandmaster.

"This is a precious treasure, take care to appease them!"

Zhao Hao whispered.

With so many shipwrights, even the major aboriginal forces would be extremely greedy, not to mention a master shipwright.

The presence of the other party means that it is possible to build a super giant merchant ship or a giant offshore merchant ship.

"Yes, sir!"

Charlotte nodded, she naturally understood what these shipwrights represented.

It means that Stormlord has the ability to build ships from now on, and it is not a small shipyard, but the kind that can build large ships from the beginning.

The fleet is moving at full speed.

During this time, he passed through several maelstrom at sea and encountered several pirates.

However, there were four golden dragons there, and before the other party could get closer, they directly burned the other party and the boat to ashes.

The advantages of dragon naval battles are huge, as long as there is a foothold.

It took nearly a dozen days for the fleet to return to territory.

The reason why it takes so much time is because they don't take the normal route.

Those places are controlled by the major aboriginal forces, and it is completely impossible to keep them secret if they want to pass under the noses of the other party.

It takes a lot more time to travel several times the distance.

However, at such a big price, the harvest is also extremely worthwhile.

At least no aboriginal forces know that the Storm Lords already have the ability to manufacture ships, and even dozens of ships in the open sea, which are all situations that the aboriginal forces do not want to see.

However, when he returned to Stormport, he found a very embarrassing situation.

Can't get to the shore!

Compared with the average 100-meter-long large transport ship, these offshore merchant ships start at an average of 200 meters, and the humble port naturally cannot stop.

As a result, the ship's contents could only be transferred to the shore through medium-sized transshipment.

And the ship can only float on the sea for the time being.

Of course, Zhao Hao is not responsible for these tasks, he has to do another thing.

Open up the route!

The basis for Elolan's huge plan is to open up the route.

Even if he roughly remembers the route in his mind, it doesn't mean that everything will go well, after all, it is the future route, and if he wants to get through it in advance, God knows how much it will cost.

The good news is that he has a lot of cards in his hand, which gives him the confidence to open the route.

Replenishing and resting, Zhao Hao was busy with the upcoming voyage.

At this time, he also received information from Eloran's side that a player had encountered the Dark Elf tribe.

The curtain has opened!

The heavy blow that Eloran received this time came from the underground world.

Even Zhao Hao had secretly reminded Luo Yuntuan to get the other party ready to join this feast.

When the time comes, there will be the Wind Whisperer Guild on the elf side and the Black Cloud Cluster on the dark elf side, and with such a two-sided relationship, he doesn't need to worry about not being able to get what he wants.

The Dark Elves that appear now should only be outposts, and the real invasion is about to begin, and he must also hurry up.

With the arrival of players, the nine factions will be beaten in turn.

Before, it was mostly the castle camp, but now it's finally Elolan's turn, which is simply very happy.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao quickly decided on the team to go to sea.

The 'Storm', a giant ocean-going vessel, was used as a means of transportation to open up the route this time.

Now that they don't have enough sailors, it is naturally impossible for them to make all the fleets dispatched, and the dangers along the way have not been eliminated, so it is naturally not suitable to take too many ships.

The emphasis is on the sailors!

A few thousand sailors sounds like a lot.

But large offshore merchant ships require at least a few hundred sailors to handle them, not including the combatants.

In addition to natural disasters, there are also various sea monsters, sea tribes... And so on, although the number of pirates is pitiful, but once encountered, it is definitely an extremely strong type, so there must be enough sailors to act as combat power.

Storm!

It was the only giant offshore merchant ship that was brought back this time.

With a total length of 300 meters and a width of 70 meters, it is not at all a fraction smaller than those hundreds of thousands of tons of freighters in the real world.

The wooden hull can be so large and strong, and the material is naturally not ordinary.

Sea Sand Tree!

A high-quality wood that grows only by the sea, it is not only tough on its own, but also resistant to seawater erosion.

The focus is on standard shipping volumes.

50,000 tons!

In addition to its standard crew and supplies, the Storm can transport 50,000 tons of cargo at a time.

It's just heartless!

The terrifying power of transportation dwarfs the horse-drawn carriage and other means of transport.

Sea Behemoth!

Now you understand why maritime trade is so crazy to make money, right?

This amount alone has already crushed the land trade countless times, and no matter how small the profit is, when the quantity is large, it can also bring a huge amount of income.

And the troops that will go to war, Zhao Hao has finally been selected.
