After learning about Caiyue's talent, Chu Nan suddenly felt like he had found a treasure. This would be very helpful in attracting a large number of high-end players to Eastwatch. It would stimulate the flow of people and consumption, and ultimately increase tax revenue. Caiyue would be a god of wealth.
Chu Nan began to think about whether to go to the official forum of Glory to help promote it, but he was afraid of arousing the jealousy of Nitian Guild. After all, Caiyue originally belonged to Shiva Town, and now she was poached to East China Sea.
Okay, it would be weird if Ni Qiongqiong could be willing to do so.
Of course, Ni Qianqiong would not say anything openly. After all, the two guilds are currently in an alliance. Moreover, even if he has an opinion, it is of no use. Caiyue has already settled here, how can he be poached so easily?
Go back? Unless Eastwatch also suffers a disaster, and judging from the current situation, this possibility still has a certain probability of happening.
A total of 5 pirate ships invaded today, and the town was damaged to a certain extent. What's even worse is that these pirates used cannons to attack the town. The NPC guards in the town had no way to fight back. If it happens again next time
If there were 50 ships, then Chu Nan really couldn't guarantee that Donghaiwang would be able to survive a round of bombardment.
Ding! System prompt: Due to the sudden attack by pirates in the morning, Eastwatch has suffered considerable losses. The results of the losses have been calculated. 15 roads were damaged, two infrastructures were moderately damaged, and one was severely damaged.
Including other damages of varying degrees, a total of 80 gold is required for repairs. Do you want to pay? If not paid in time, the reputation of the mayor will be damaged.
Chu Nan was stunned for a moment, then decided to pay decisively!
The money was spent by the public, not his, but the damage to his reputation was directly related to Chu Nan himself. How could he not do such a thing by using other people's money to wipe his own ass?
Ding! System prompts: Albert, the president of the Adventure Union branch in Eastwatch Town, seems to have something urgent to do with you, please go there as soon as possible.
Is this guy asking me to issue a mission again? Chu Nan was curious. The last time Albert came to him was because he wanted to open a shipping route with Seagull Town and issue a mission to clear obstacles on the route. If nothing unexpected happens this time, it should be with him.
It has something to do with the pirates that appeared in the morning. He may be planning to discuss with himself a mission to clean up the pirates.
Chu Nan quickly came to the Adventure Union branch, and saw that Albert was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. When he saw Chu Nan arriving, he immediately greeted him and said: "Mayor, you are finally here, I guess you are here."
You also know that our town was attacked by pirates this morning, right?"
"Yes." Chu Nan nodded, indicating for him to continue.
"In fact, pirates have not been so rampant for a long time, and they will not take the initiative to attack a port town like ours. The sudden attack of pirates this time is really a bit unusual. On the first day when pirates were found in the waters near our town,
I immediately applied to Glory City for support of artillery and other supplies and garrison troops, but the response I got surprised me. The response they gave me was that they had sent me additional personnel, that is, the former Templar Guards Corps.
The leader - Caroline, and her small team of knights. Although I know that Her Royal Highness Caroline has outstanding military exploits and all her subordinates are elites, after all, their number is still too small. If pirates come in large numbers,
Guilty, she can't resist it at all, and the most important thing is that we don't have artillery, so we can't directly fight back against the pirate ships anchored at sea. Of course, if that's all, then that's fine with me, we can
I gritted my teeth and persisted, but what made me most angry was that Glory City treated us differently. According to the information I got, Seagull Town, which was also troubled by pirates, had just received full support from Glory City, with a whole regiment of guard troops.
More than 20 cannons have been stationed in Seagull Town, but we only have a former Templar Guards Legion Commander and her small team of troops, what do you think this is?"
After finishing speaking, Albert was so angry that his face turned red.
Chu Nan was also extremely shocked when he heard this, and then he quickly sent a flying pigeon letter to Canyue Feixue. The news he received was that what Albert said was completely correct, and there were nearly a few hundred guards plus 20
The cannons had entered Seagull Town 30 minutes ago.
"Have you asked the reason? Why can't we get support from artillery and other supplies?" Chu Nan asked Albert.
"Not at all. That's why I feel angry."
Chu Nan pondered for a while and nodded. He felt that this matter had something to do with Caroline. Maybe it was Hilton's intention to completely abandon Donghaiwang so that he could directly kill Caroline with the help of pirates.
After clarifying this layer of causality, Chu Nan was obviously not happy. He had to keep both Eastwatch and Caroline. However, without the cannons and NPC defenders supported by Glory City, the pirates would fight.
It's not easy.
"By the way, do you know how to make cannonballs?" Chu Nan asked. The captured pirate ship had cannons, but there were not many cannonballs in it, only 50. They were gone after a few rounds, which was not enough.
"The production of cannonballs and black powder is completely controlled by Glory City. If I know how to make it, do I still need to be angry?"
"Is this so?" Chu Nan was also very depressed. If there were cannonballs, the matter would be much easier to handle. There are cannons on the pirate ship directly. It doesn't matter whether you want the 20 cannons in Glory City or not.
Thinking of this, he suddenly came up with a good idea. Since Glory City provided support to Seagull Town, the supplies must include a sufficient number of artillery shells. He just had to pay to buy some from Waning Yue Feixue.
"How many artillery shells did Glory City support you with? Can you sell me some?" Chu Nan asked.
"You think so beautifully. These cannons and artillery shells are directly controlled by the NPC defenders. We players have no way to intervene. They only attack pirates who enter the shelling range. Those outside the range are not heard at all.
Don’t ask.”
It turns out that this is the case. Chu Nan smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that he could only rely on himself.
But it is definitely inappropriate to issue a mission to eliminate pirates. If the number of pirates is endless, even if you pay 1 silver coin to kill a pirate, it will be a bottomless pit of expenditure.
In fact, to fight pirates, all you need to do is be attractive enough. You don't necessarily need to issue tasks through the Adventure Guild to attract people. As for the fact that Guangguang can capture the pirate ship, Chu Nan firmly believes that this is enough to arouse people's interest, and the ship
There are only two ports in all Glory that can be parked at. This will, to a certain extent, tie players who own ships to places like Eastwatch or Seagull Town. By then, it will be impossible for them not to help fight pirates.
, and to capture a pirate ship, the key factor is to be able to launch it into the water.
It was time to return to his old profession. After figuring out a way, Chu Nan said goodbye to Albert and walked out of the Adventure Guild.
