The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

"Okay! I understand, I'm going to order a batch of clothes for those children, just use the money in your card!" Ye Tianlong replied to Liu Shiyu with a smile.

After hearing Ye Tianlong's answer, Liu Shiyu finally showed a smile. The other party said that he wanted to use the money in her card, which gave her a sense of participation in doing good deeds, so she felt happy for a moment. Much better.

However, Guo Dafu frowned slightly as he looked at the other person's leaving back. He could sense that the other party's energy and blood were getting weaker and weaker. A human being in his prime should have abundant energy and blood in his body. However, the energy and blood in Liu Shiyu's body has now weakened to the level of an old man in his seventies or eighties. It seems that the other party's condition has indeed deteriorated very quickly, and he has only a few days left to live! He didn't know how his master's elixir was being refined and whether it could be done before Liu Shiyu died.

After sending Liu Shiyu away, Ye Tianlong rushed to the beach to take a look. At his request, Zhou Jiale finally got two serious fishing boats. Today, some civilians who had been fishermen were organized in the camp today. First time fishing.

Ye Tianlong is now ready to see if he has caught any fish and what kind of fresh fish he has caught. If there are some fish that are more valuable in the real world, they can be sold in the real world and make some extra money.

But before Ye Tianlong could go to personally check the types of fresh fish caught by his fishermen, a hot air balloon floated towards the newly established simple fishing port. At the same time, the soldiers above kept sending warning signals to the bottom.

Although Zhou Jiale had already been asked to build a larger airship, Zhou Jiale had built two hot air balloons before. Ye Tianlong did not waste them. Instead, he used them as reconnaissance tools and asked the soldiers to take turns using the two hot air balloons to conduct reconnaissance from the air. , so that if the last large-scale pirate group invades again, we can get early warning and have more time to prepare for war.

And now the soldier responsible for investigating the enemy's situation obviously discovered something about the enemy, so he controlled the hot air balloon to fly over to warn them.

Ye Tianlong looked up and took a closer look and found that according to the meaning of the flag signal played by the soldier, he had discovered more than twenty enemy warships approaching his own fishing port. Among them, there is one large warship and eight medium-sized warships.

In order to facilitate the use of semaphores to transmit information, Ye Tianlong and others divided the warships into three levels according to their size some time ago. Among them, warships with a length of less than [-] meters are small warships, those with a length of more than [-] meters and those with a length of less than [-] meters. is a medium-sized warship. Those above forty meters are large warships.

Because the countries above Calradia still use wooden warships, and the power is also the original sail power, so they are not large in size. The large warships in each country are only in single digits, and most of them are medium-sized. Warships and small warships.

But the enemy that appeared this time actually had a large warship, which made Ye Tianlong couldn't help but guess that this was not a regular army sent by a certain country to sneak attack on the Nord Kingdom!

And when Ye Tianlong was still guessing the identity of the enemy, on the sea not far away, the more than [-] boats knew that they had been discovered by the opponent, but they still moved at full speed towards the location of Ye Tianlong's fishing port without slowing down. Coming.

Obviously, these guys came specifically for Ye Tianlong, and the large warship, which was obviously the flagship, did not hang the flag of any country, but only deliberately hung a pirate flag.

However, the soldiers on the warships were obviously not pirates. These soldiers were better equipped than the pirates and appeared to be more disciplined. They stood upright on the deck, and no one was whispering to each other in private chats. .

Inside the large warship, there was an extremely luxuriously decorated room. In this splendid room, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man was lazily reclining on a large bed. Beside him, there were several maids wearing only a layer of translucent white gauze who were carefully feeding the man apples that had been cut into small pieces.

Following the sound of heavy footsteps, a middle-aged man wearing full plate armor and a knight's sword hanging on his waist entered the room and shouted loudly to the half-squinted eyes enjoying the service of the maid. The middle-aged man reported: "Sir Ramon, we failed to leave that aircraft behind. The other party must have got the news of our attack by now!"

"Yes! I understand, but there are not many good opportunities like this to take advantage of. Send the order and ask all the warships to speed up. I will rush to the port within an hour to land!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Following the order from the middle-aged man, a fierce warrior armed with a long whip came to the lower cabins of each battleship. There were a large number of slaves here with their hands and feet chained to the ground. On the ship, the oars they control are the additional power for these warships in addition to the sails. The temperature in summer is already very hot, and it is even more sweltering in the lowest cabin, as if it were a steamer. Even the slaves were not wearing any clothes, and sweat was constantly flowing on their bodies.

It's just that these slaves seem to have become numb after years of torture. They all sit on their oar seats with blank eyes, motionless, trying to save their own energy.

However, after a few cracks of whips, these slaves seemed to be stimulated. They immediately stretched out the oars in front of them from the holes beside them, and then started paddling hard.

With the help of the oars rowed hard by these slaves, the speed of these warships suddenly increased a lot.

The reason why the middle-aged man has so many strong slaves is because he is working with Ramon, the largest slave trader on the continent of Calradia. On this continent, more than [-]% of the slave trade is It's in his hands.

To put it bluntly, the wealth in his hands is even more than that of most kings and nobles. It is precisely because of this that he can produce such a large fleet in one go.

And this time he led hundreds of elite soldiers and such a huge fleet here to deal with Ye Tianlong.

Rudy, who was killed by Ye Tianlong before, was considered a veteran of his men and was highly regarded by him. Therefore, after Rudy was killed by Ye Tianlong, Ramon immediately sent people to investigate Ye Tianlong's information and prepare for revenge.

What Ramon didn't expect was that Ye Tianlong would quickly embrace Baron Sol, become his knight, and even own a territory of his own.

Although Ramon is confident that it will not be a problem to defeat Baron Sol's army with the elite soldiers under his command, but because the headquarters of his chamber of commerce is located in the Kingdom of Nord, and he does not want to completely break up with the officials of the Kingdom of Nord for the time being, That's why I held back and didn't take action.

After enduring for a period of time, Baron Saul finally led his army to leave and responded to the king's call to participate in the national war. Ramon suddenly felt that he had a chance to revenge his men.

Although Nasol is only a mere baron, the title was conferred by King Ragnar himself, so if he had a conflict with him, it would be tantamount to not giving King Ragnar face, and it would not end well in the end, but Ye Tianlong was so A small knight is different. There are so many small lords like this on the continent of Calradia that the low-level nobles canonize themselves. No one will care if one or two die. If you are lucky, you can completely throw the blame. Go to the pirates, and even if you fail to get rid of the blame, the most you can do is to pay some money. King Ragnar, who is currently fighting the Kingdom of Swadia, has absolutely no time to pay for such a trivial matter at this time. The little knight comes to do justice.

However, Ramon had also heard before that Ye Tianlong had several extremely powerful firearms in his hands. Previously, a large pirate group of hundreds of people wanted to rob them, but in the end, the entire army was wiped out. Therefore, Ramon's attack this time was basically all-out. Each of the more than [-] warships was equipped with ultra-long-range weapons such as large crossbows and catapults. Their combat effectiveness was no better than that of the regular navies of various countries. Difference.

In addition, the warship also carried a total of more than [-] elite warriors. Their attributes were not inferior to those of the top soldiers from various countries. Their equipment was also equally sophisticated. Each of them was equipped with at least hard leather armor, Scale armor and sleeveless plate armor are heavy armor equipped by top soldiers in various countries. In terms of weapons, there are also a large number of strong bows and crossbows. After landing, some large crossbows and slings can be disassembled directly from those warships to use as super long-range Weapons serve as fire support.

With this kind of military strength and equipment configuration, it is completely possible to capture some small cities by force. Ramon does not believe that Ye Tianlong, a small maritime merchant who has not yet established a stable foothold in the Calradia continent, can withstand his own surprise attack this time.

On the other side, after Ye Tianlong inquired from the air with the soldiers who had just come off the hot air balloon, and confirmed that the fleet was flying the pirate flag, and that it was obviously heading straight towards the fishing port in his territory, It can be regarded as understanding that these enemies are indeed coming with bad intentions.

So he asked these soldiers to take a hot air balloon and rush back to the camp as quickly as possible to ask for reinforcements. At the same time, he commanded his fishing boats to temporarily enter the inland river to take shelter while seeing if there was an opportunity to first Let's attack that group of enemies at sea.

If you want to fight at sea, you will naturally need warships, so Ye Tianlong asked Zhou Jiale about the progress of the transformation of his armored ship.

As a result, Zhou Jiale told him that most parts of the ironclad ship had been almost refitted, and now they just needed to be repainted.

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianlong immediately asked the other party to get the armored ship over. After all, there were so many cannons on it. Even if we don't have enough manpower to fire it, it would be good to use it as a fixed fort! You must know that the warships on the continent of Calradia are all made of wood. They are completely defenseless against the solid shells fired by our own artillery! It is possible to sink a battleship with just a few shots.

Soon, Zhou Jiale returned to the world of cavalry and slashing with the basically renovated iron-clad ship. Compared with before, this iron-clad ship not only had a lot of its original heavy equipment removed, but also had some improvements in its artillery configuration. Changes, the twelve main guns are still using the [-] mm caliber heavy guns, but the secondary guns have been replaced from the previous [-] mm caliber guns to six-six-mm caliber guns that just started mass production some time ago. Ten millimeter caliber repeating gun.
