Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 161 People from Queen’s Island

There are about 70 people in the first batch of Ashigaru alive. Irving transferred 30 of them to Toto Ashigaru, and the rest to Teppanyaki Ashigaru, and then asked Watanabe to take these transferred Ashigaru. Board the ship and go to sea.

Owen did not follow, but neither Lao Rui nor the pirates dared to have second thoughts.

Not to mention the dozens of hungry wolf-like ashigaru on the ship, the mark on their chests always reminded them of what to do.

It is easy to betray, but no one is willing to bear the consequences unless there is a warrior who walks in front and shows them what will happen.

Lao Rui was well aware of the thoughts of these pirates, but he did not sit back and ignore it like before. Instead, he always beat the pirates to let them know what they can and should not do.

What drives Lao Rui to do this is not loyalty, but profit, because only by surrendering to Irving, he, an old pirate, can give orders like a captain, and no one dares to object, which is enough.

After seven or eight days, the sailboat came back, but Lao Rui's face didn't look very good.

"Great Captain, this time we successfully plundered a cargo ship and obtained a huge harvest, but we encountered the Kraken on the way back. Two stupid pirates were lured by the Kraken's song and jumped into the sea. In addition, we We also saw the pirate ship of Queen's Island nearby, and this may become their hunting range." Lao Rui bent over with one hand on his chest and reported to Owen respectfully.

Owen was stunned for a moment, pinching his brows before coming back to his senses from his research.

There are many sea monsters and sea monsters living in the waters around Bol Island. It seems that they need to be solved. Otherwise, although these monsters cannot come ashore, it is not an option to keep doing this. In addition, Queen's Island is also a trouble.

Human beings are outsiders in this world. When a group of people suddenly come to a strange world, they will definitely panic and then unleash the dark side of their hearts in despair. You can imagine what women as a vulnerable group will face.

Fortunately, there are not no masters among women, so they chose to break away after taking away a group of women. This was the predecessor of Queen's Island.

The Queen's Island established under such circumstances has an predictable behavior, a proper matriarchal society, and living Amazon female warriors. Men are daily necessities for them, and riding horses is shared, so Lao Rui saw The expression on the Queen's Island pirate ship changed drastically. With his old arms and legs, if he fell into the hands of the other party, he might not survive for three days.

"Don't go out to sea for now. Train those ashigaru in the nearby waters to adapt to sailing. I will solve the remaining problems." Owen understood that the root cause of the matter was lack of strength, so he said to Lao Rui.

"Captain, I grabbed a lot of good things this time, as well as a female slave. Would you like to go and have a look?" Lao Rui nodded first and then said.

Of course Owen is interested, but not for the slave girl, but to see if there is anything good.

When Owen came to the beach again, there was already a simple pier, and there was also a big-bellied cargo ship. Compared with the pointed and narrow sailboat on the side, it was obvious at a glance that it could not run very fast, so it was no wonder that it was robbed.

A lot of goods have been piled up on the beach, and the sailors on the merchant ships were constantly moving the goods in under the scolding of the pirates.

Owen took a quick look and found that most of them were wine called Ocean Sweetheart.

This kind of wine is brewed from the juice of a plant similar to sugar cane. It is not high in alcohol content and has a sweet taste. It is a favorite of sailors at sea.

Because compared to fresh water that easily deteriorates, ocean sweethearts have a longer shelf life and better taste. It can be said that as long as there are enough ocean sweethearts, there is no fear of low morale among sailors. No wonder those pirates are happy.

The rest is for food and clothing, as well as twenty barrels of gunpowder and lead bullets, which can all be used.

In other words, if the people in the merchant ship were tougher and threatened with these twenty barrels of gunpowder, they would not be caught here.

But what Owen didn't know was that the people from the merchant ship had indeed done this. The problem was that Watanabe and Ashigaru didn't care at all. They rushed up in a swarm, slashing and killing, which frightened the other party's courage, and then they took the goods with them to the ship. captured together.

Then Owen saw the female slaves, most of whom had savage blood and were average in appearance. The pirate drooled when he saw them, and his heart stopped when he saw them.

When the progress value was almost accumulated, Owen exchanged it for a sailing battleship.

This is a three-masted sail warship with a slender body, equipped with forty guns, and can accommodate three hundred personnel.

According to Lao Rui, this is the main battleship even in several large island alliances.

However, the more masts there are, the more complicated the operation becomes. Although Lao Rui has driving experience, the sailors still need to train so that they can exert their full performance.

Fortunately, merchant sailors have joined, otherwise manpower alone would be a big problem.

As for whether those sailors are willing to be pirates, haha, the nature of their work depends entirely on which ship they board. On a merchant ship, they are innocent sailors, and on a pirate ship, they are cruel pirates. It's that simple.

In addition to sending Watanabe to learn these, Owen also asked Panasonic to train an elite musketeer and prepare to take them to sea.

After a few days, when they were almost familiar with each other, Owen asked Tanaka to stay behind and led the team himself.

This time there was no longer one ship, but two.

The main ship was the three-masted battleship Hayate, and the auxiliary ship was the two-masted clipper Flying Fish, with Watanabe at the helm.

Because it is a new ship and there are many novices, the ship is not very fast and it is more of a grinding process. However, the best way is to recruit a group of skilled sailors and gunners, so they are preparing to go to the Pirate Island.

Pirate Island is not the only one, but a general term. Any island that is willing to be used by pirates can be called a Pirate Island. Pirates who land on the island must abide by a rule and are not allowed to plunder on the island. As for stealing and killing, as long as they are not Catch, no one cares.

Of course, there is no need to expect pirates to abide by the rules, so Owen saw two pirate ships bombarding the dock of Pirate Island from a distance, sinking and setting fire to the ships docked there.

"It's the bone-eating shark." Holding up the high-precision monocular telescope provided by Owen, Lao Rui said with a solemn expression.

Bone-eating sharks are notorious even among pirates, because they do not follow the rules at all and can be said to be mercenary. No wonder they dare to bombard the pirate island dock and set fire to the pirate ships docked there.

"Captain, are you still going to the Pirate Island?" Lao Rui didn't know why the Bone-Eating Shark people bombarded the Pier of the Pirate Island, but he knew that there would definitely be trouble inside, and it would be a big trouble.

Owen could also think of this, so he hesitated.

"Captain, there are people at the pier raising flags. It seems they are from Queen's Island." Lao Rui saw someone raising the flag of Queen's Island and raising flags, so he hurriedly said to Owen.

"Look what they are talking about." Owen raised his head, thought for a while and said to Lao Rui.

Lao Rui held the monocular and concentrated on identifying the other party's flags, while speaking word by word.

"Captain, the other party is the nobles of Queen's Island. They want to hire us to rescue the hostages captured by the bone-eating shark. The reward is very generous." Lao Rui licked his lips and said. After all, although Queen's Island acts domineeringly, it is If you are known to be generous with your money and say it is a generous reward, you will not be disappointed.
