Chapter 9 Battle at Sea [3]
The Port of Nines is the largest port in Scandinavia. It belongs to the royal port of the Kingdom of Rildean. The capital is also located here. It is the most prosperous city of the Alliance of Seven States of Scandinavia. Unlike the smoky atmosphere of Firland, this is like a civilized world in the north.
And the fourteenth generation of King Rildean does often think of himself as a civilized monarch, which makes him very famous in the north.
Storm's powerful shipping capabilities are vividly reflected after destroying the pirates on Dragus Island. Fourteen small canoes were full of grain and weapons, dragged very long, and the thick chain hinged the fourteen boats together.
From a distance, it is a group of whales cruising.
The Storm is a six-masted grand sailboat, which is the ultimate model in the Viking Warship. The wood used can be kept rot for 1,500 years, which is why sailing boats are extremely old on the sea all year round, but they can still withstand the wind and rain.
"Head, I have seen the port. The flag of the Kingdom of Rildean, ah, that's the navy! Shall we be on alert?"
On the watchtower, the watchman holding the crystal telescope shouted down.
Mr. Ma wears a big harp, buffalo leather boots on his feet, several gold bracelets on his thick arms, and a gold ring with gems on his fingers. It's like a local rich man dressed as an upstart in the countryside.
This appearance makes his rich image very appropriate.
The flag of the Storm was hung with the logo of the Plangley family and the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce. When it was close, the navy of the Kingdom of Rieldion only made a turn. After all, the Storm was really too big. Navy warships can't compare with it at all.
Boss Ma loaded 600 people on the boat. Counting it, it's really pitiful.
The cabin is full of treasures. These goods have been sloppy and estimated that they are worth at least more than 5 million gold dinars. I don't know how many years the second team of Mavericks Bass has saved. Just think about it again. Anyway, they robbed it. Don't do it for nothing.
"These navies, leave them alone. The port of Nines is a free port, and there are a lot less customs duties. Hey hey, if the army of the Kingdom of Riel Dean knew that there was the treasure of the pirate group on our ship, I don't know what the expression would be at that time. He smiled carelessly, and his heart was full of bad taste. Yes, these treasures are really a thing that causes trouble.
The arrangement of the pirate group on Dragus Island would have been two or three thousand people. If it hadn't been for Mr. Ma's wise and released six magic crystal cannons, I'm afraid it would have been impossible to easily take Dragus Island.
"Hahahaha... I heard that His Majesty the King of Riel Dean always calls himself of Roma blood. This shameless old man is obviously a barbarian bastard and an advocate of the civilized world. This kind of person really deserves to die.
"Aha, do you miss his queen? I heard that the old queen is still a rare beauty."
"Huh! Riel Dean XIV, an old man in his sixties, can the following words be hardened or two words? I'm not sure that his queen is still an original..."
"Hahahaha..."
Everyone talked about the endless meat jokes. Boss Ma came down majestically in a big coat, stood on the deck, looked at it for a while, and then said, "The depth of the water in this sea is really surprising. It can make the Storm move forward without hindrance. It's really strange."
The Vikings have always known the story of the North Sea, and they laughed and said, "Big boss, you don't know. This is a long and narrow trench crisscrossing zone, which is said to be the place where the God of War and the naval battle are fought. The two people's weapons drew a trench at the bottom of the ocean. It has formed this strange sea area.
"Fuck the gods, even if there are, they will break one of their thighs!"
The mad dog didn't know the depth and cursed crazily. The fists creaked. It's good for the soldiers to worship the God of War, but in the face of Tiger. They may worship crazy fierce people like House even more.
"Look! It seems that a lot of people have come to the port!"
"That's right, it should be the businessman of Riel Dean. The goods on Dragus are going to sell for a large amount of money. Look, there are fourteen boats of food and weapons behind it. The soldiers were extremely excited, waving their fists and screaming like beasts.
The naked sailors laughed, took some water from the sea, washed the deck, and then took their positions and were ready to get off the ship.
The main mast has been full of sails and balanced the straightness of the rudder. The helmsman navigators looked ahead as they spoke, with a spicy nose smoke from Gaul in their mouths, coughing, but gasping with tears in their mouths.
"Ready to dock, untie the chain of the boat behind, and slow down!"
The oar was automatically lowered, and the strong resistance immediately slowed down the speed of the Storm a lot. The distance between the fourteen boats behind can make them slow down.
The creaking Storm has gradually taxied to the harbor. The dock is full of people, and the sea of people waved and cheered at them. In fact, it is rare for such a big ship to enter the port in this way.
The navy has already told the port of such a situation, so the merchants in the port are waiting for such an opportunity. From a distance, ten of the fourteen boats were loaded with grain, most of which were wheat and rye. The other four boats are armor and one-handed swords, which should not be high-end goods, but there are still some money for sale.
The Storm slowly entered the port. Such a huge thing entered the port, which really shocked many people. From a distance, it looks like a big sperm whale, very majestic.
On the bow deck, the captain is strong and tall, the big haze behind him flutters in the wind, and the muscles on his body are swollen and full of explosive strength.
There are strong Vikings standing everywhere, with tomahawks in their hands, fierce and very fierce, although they are also murderous and fierce. But compared with the low-level fierceness of pirates, the giant ship in front of him seems to be a pile of vicious wolves resting. The fierce light is full of the smell of killing.
"Oh, what an enthusiastic group of people." Moss rubbed his hands and smiled, "Head, it would be great if I could rob them."
"Fal your mother's! The Port of Nines has a population of 1.3 million. These are only the native people of the Kingdom of Riel Dien, not to mention those adventurers and gold digers, as well as the rogue thugs and villains. There are countless. Half of the troops of the whole Kingdom of Riel Dien are gathered in this city, about 300,000. Do you think you can fight with 300,000 troops with your two arms?
Yahan glanced at Moss, and Moss smiled, touched his big bald head, and said nothing.
Boss Ma sneered, "Stupid!"
"Uh... Boss, did I say something wrong?" Yahan asked tremblingly.
"Who said that if there are 300,000 troops in the city, you can't rob?" Boss Ma laughed and was very evil.
"If you can't rob it, then rob it secretly and put the blame on the sea cow Bass. Dragus Island is about 110 kilometers away from the port of Nines. With their speed, it is definitely a matter of day and night. It's just that it's not easy to know the news so quickly.
"Yes, I'm afraid it will take a few days to find the clues of which direction we are running. Hey hey, destroying a Dragus Island is really a profitable business.
Moss was also extremely excited. He rubbed his big hand and suddenly asked, "Head, do you want to empty our treasure here?"
"Of course. Pick some more expensive ones, take out some high-end goods for auction, and cheat these idiots and handsome nobles of the Kingdom of Riel Dean last time.
Boss Ma showed an evil smile on the corners of his mouth. He stood there and looked far away, thinking that he was a very talkative person. But how can I know that once I come into contact with this big devil, I will understand what a vicious bastard it is.
"It's close to Hong Kong. Keep smiling and see how many people are willing to make a fortune. Humph." Ma Hu also knew in his heart that in northern countries like the Kingdom of Rildean, food is actually in short supply. It is really surprising that so much food can suddenly appear. This grain is enough to spend for a long time.
Fourteen small boats floated in front of people's eyes one by one, and those merchants were really greedy. As for the four ships of weapons, they were targeted by the team of adventurers. If you can get a ticket at a low price, sell it again, and quadruple and quadruple it.
"Aha, look, look, there is so much food. And weapons, ha, their Viking warship is really big. It should be the biggest one." Some people exclaimed as if they had never seen the world, but so many people are like this, which is rare and strange.
"Idiot! This is a giant Viking warship. It is said that there is only a single-digit number, and it rarely appears. There is actually one here. The last time such a ship was seen at sea, it was five years ago. Some people seem to yearn for the past and say it ostentatly.
"I don't know the price of the goods on this ship. This time I have prepared 200,000 gold coins to get that batch of grain!" Someone has begun to prepare.
The competitor gave him a white look and said, "Twenty thousand? Why don't you steal or rob? I have prepared 350,000 gold coins for that batch of grain. The north of the city has begun to be short of food. This batch of wheat is enough to make a lot of bread, and rye cakes can also be made a lot. This single profit looks small and quadrupled. No problem.
In fact, neither of them told the truth. The person who prepared 200,000 actually prepared 400,000. People who say it quadruple actually say a lot less. If this batch of grain is made into food to get the relief money of His Majesty the Kingdom of Rieldia, it will cost at least 1.5 million gold coins. Moreover, a large number of people will not be stingy with such a little money. There is a food shortage for 100,000 people, 15 gold coins per person, which is 1.5 million gold coins. What's more, some people don't plan to pay only 15 gold coins.
When the Storm broke down completely and stopped, the Viking warriors began to pull the hinges. The long bridge of the dock was full of people, and many thieves also rushed over. They touched two small wallets and earned more than ten or twenty gold coins.
When the owner finds it, I don't know when it will happen.
"Ten boats of grain, 30,000 gold coins per boat!"
As soon as the Storm stopped, Yahan was in the bow of the ship and shouted for the price. With this shout, the crowd finally began to shake crazily...
