Byron spent most of the night flying in a spiral around the estuary of the Candelaria River.

The more I look at this place, the more satisfied I become.

"Violet's requirement for the construction of a dock and a fortified city is to have a deep-water bay, bay or harbor that meets the conditions.

The area has a long, deep-water coastline that can accommodate large ships to dock and build, not to mention wooden sailing ships with a draft of up to 10 meters.

Even if the technology is upgraded in the future, there will be no problem in building iron-ribbed wooden hull ships, ironclad ships, and even further steel warships.

The port's natural barrier also protects the dockyard from wind, waves and other adverse weather at sea. ”

"Requirement 2: near the mouth of a large river, satisfied.

There is the Candelaria River, which runs from the heart of the peninsula, and is one of the six major rivers on the island of Yucatan.

It can make full use of the abundant water resources for water transportation and logistics, reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Just beware that the river is full of giant snakes. ”

"Requirement 3: There are plenty of building materials, and there are large areas of limestone, granite, and obsidian nearby, which are enough to build several fortresses.

Obsidian is also known as dragon crystal, which can naturally harm spirits such as evil spirits and natural spirits, and is necessary for overseas city building.

Requirement 4: Close to the city with a large freight demand, sandwiched between Uxmal and Chichen Itza, and closest to Tayapan upstream of the river.

Next to it is the east-west route artery, and the location conditions are unique.

When you build a city, you can also recruit people from nearby city-states, and those [Bear Spirit Warriors] who can manipulate earth and stone are very good. ”

Both of them have signed a franchise contract.

The Vanguard Colony Company may have branches or representative offices in all the city-states that have been bailed out by Byron.

The right to build forts on the land demarcated by the parties concerned to protect their own barns.

and the appointment of a plenipotentiary governor, the recruitment of soldiers, and further cooperation with the local rulers.

It was an undeveloped wasteland for the Tayas, and Byron didn't think anything could go wrong at that point.

Moreover, it happens to be located in the middle of the crescent-shaped island of Yucatan.

It was easy to head north to the shattered Azk Empire or south deep into the heart of the Taya Empire.

Iron tools, swords, guns, and other products produced can be dumped throughout the Yucatan region by sea, and the Golden Law and the range of force projection can be expanded from this point to the sea.

Economic colonization begins here!

"There is no problem with the necessary mineral resources, and the number of reserves is uncertain for the time being, but at least it can be determined that there is."

Byron flapped his wings and flew out of a mine in a river valley.

There were mountains of red and yellow waste, and he didn't need the insight of the [Logbook] to recognize that they were the hematite and chalcopyrite he was looking for!

When I first made my rounds, I also found what the natives called "black burning stones".

As for the specific reserves, it is not for him to see with a pair of naked eyes.

It is necessary to invite the corresponding tower sequence naturalists, soothsayers, craftsmen, and treasure hunters of the wilderness sequence to jointly evaluate before they can come up with a prediction report.

Even if coal reserves are insufficient, there is an abundant tropical river that can be transported from elsewhere in the interior.

"The location conditions are perfect, and the mineral conditions are slightly flawed.

Now only one last key issue remains: clean up the no-go zone that is everywhere! ”

Byron looked at the deep cave in front of him, and felt the hairs on Alvin's body stand up unconsciously.

There's something in the mine.

Without the help of any props, the light of the [Golden Law] flickered slightly, and Byron connected with his spear commander Wyandot.

This type of communication transmits not only sound, but also images.

The right hand of the king: one king, one queen, two chariots, two bishops (or prime ministers), two knights, and eight guards, a total of sixteen positions.

At present, among the core personnel of the Vanguard Pilot Colonial Trading Company, Catherine Catherine, who holds the financial power, is the regent;

【Guardian Knight】Bruch is a chariot;

【Blood Red Whiskey】Alfred is a knight;

Phantom Blade Gus, Candid Eightfingers, Shipwright Hans the Younger, and Gunner Wyandott each took the position of a guard.

Only those who have confirmed their ability and absolute loyalty can be absorbed into the right hand of the king.

There are only seven people in total.

It's just that the Golden Law is still too weak now, and the personal bonus they get is not obvious, and the most commonly used at present is instant messaging.

Much stronger than the echo conch for long-range communication or the nautilus for proximity communication.

"Wyndott, this is what you said earlier, right? Pig God Mine Cave? ”

Byron's eyes projected the figure of the indigenous youth, and he saw the other party nodding with a serious face:

"Yes, Captain.

When a small tribe dug up gold from here, our three major city-states fought for it.

But one day, the slave in charge of mining dug through a cave under the limestone layer in all directions, and also released a terrifying monster - [Pig God]!

The [Pig God] should essentially be a natural spirit that has fallen into animal nature and turned into a grotesque nature.

It has no real entity, and nearby leeches, cockroaches, fleas, head lice, locusts, earthworms, rats, mosquitoes, flies, and other filthy insects are all part of it.

As long as you enter that high-temperature and high-humidity mine, every insect you encounter may be a pig god.

Very dangerous.

The most important thing is that the inside of the mine is so well connected that we can't be sure that if we mine from somewhere else, we won't meet Him. ”

At this point, Wyndot paused:

"Captain, do you need me to get someone from Chichen Itza to help?"

Byron rejected his offer and smiled mysteriously:

"No, I naturally have a way to solve it."

He had been busy all night all night all the way to the address, and it was already dawn.

The body has long called on the crew to get ready for action.

The water in a nearby bay suddenly tumbled violently, layering up and down.

Then, the [Golden Deer], which launched a deep-sea jump, rushed out of the waves.

"Landing, camping, building forward bases and improvised docks."

"Yes, Captain!"

A group of vicious pirates rushed ashore with their boarding axes in their hands.

These people are all his core team.

In view of the recent incident of molestation, Byron deeply felt that "loyalty" could only be used as a means of surveillance, and could not fundamentally prevent the betrayal of the crew.

He got a [fiddler crab], and it is not suitable for everyone to make trouble for the time being, and attract the firepower of the Barbary pirates.

As a result, the core members of the Golden Deer signed an additional retainer contract endorsed by the Golden Law in addition to the Ten Commandments of Pirates.

Alfred signed a copy of the [Blood Red Whiskey] at the beginning.

The fifth-order legendary [lawyer] mad king Henry VI, when he was sober, communicated the iron law of royal power and personally impartialized the contract documents.

As long as you sign it, if you break it, you will suffer a direct backlash from the power of the law.

Even the middle sequence has a high probability of being hit hard, and the low sequence is 100% killed on the spot.

The content is similar to that signed by "Bill" and the Yorks, and "Byron Tudor" and the Newmans.

The nobles with big families will not sign this thing, but it is very necessary to use it to receive a group of "henchmen".

These elites on the ship who are selected from the best of the entire privateer fleet will also be Byron's first choice for the next step in building the Guard, enjoying the greatest resource tilt.

Loyalty for resources, that's reasonable.

The pirates' first step ashore was not to rush into the mines to clear the restricted area.

Instead, they set up camp and built several layers of fortifications, ranging from large creatures to humanoids to small creatures.

Then, Byron unhurriedly took out a nautilus for close communication and connected to the great wizard [Swarm] of the Bloodthirsty Order's "Book of Giant Bugs".

"Teacher, I don't know if you're interested in cherished insects? I discovered a very special grotesque during my expedition.

Do you want me to stay where I am and wait for you to come?

Okay, don't worry, I will help you protect the scene.

No thanks, what are you being kind to me? This is what I, a disciple, should do. ”
