With Paley's surrender, the remaining French warships fell into fighting on their own.
If Paley orders these French soldiers to surrender, they will obey orders with higher priority, kill the betrayer Paley, and then return to the original setting to elect a new commander within a certain period of time.
Since Paley's character was designed based on historical figures, although his surrender did not follow the set script, it was a reflection of his character and had a higher priority than his responsibilities.
Therefore, his behavior can be regarded as exploiting a loophole in the system, but it does not violate the rules itself.
In response to this, the system, that is, "Titan" quickly made a remedy, and the ransom mission was the bait.
As an NPC second only to the legendary captain, it is not something that current players should have.
But even the "Titans" have no right to deprive players of items they have "legitimately" acquired, so there is that ransom mission.
Given the current prices, 500 gold coins is believed to be an irresistible temptation for any player.
In fact, when he saw the mission, Wang Hao had an urge to sell Perry.
But when he gradually calmed down, he discovered a big doubt.
How can such a useless NPC be exchanged for 500 gold coins?
Yes, in Wang Hao's heart, Perry is far less valuable than 500 gold coins.
A man who could neither fight nor lead an army, and was timid and cowardly, would not worry Wang Hao even if he was asked to help him run a business.
If the ransom offered by the system at that time was 50 or 100 gold coins, Wang Hao would not have wasted energy on this matter and agreed casually.
"What. You would actually doubt that the great General Paley is not worth 500 gold coins? This is the greatest humiliation to me. I demand a duel with you."
After hearing Wang Hao's confused voice, Pelli became really angry. His fat cheeks trembled, and he reached for his waist. The result was empty, his expression was full of astonishment, and he looked very happy.
"The prisoner has no right to make demands, or do you want me to give you another blow?"
There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of Wang Hao's mouth, which made Pelli panic, and the latter suddenly remembered his current identity. The anger on his face suddenly disappeared, and then he showed a flattering smile.
"Well, although my general is slightly less powerful than you, I still have some wealth. Please believe that I will definitely be able to come up with these 500 gold coins. I just hope that you can abide by the agreement by then."
While talking, Paili looked at the other person's expression and found that the other person was not very angry. He then boldly said everything.
Wang Hao touched his forehead, pinched the corners of his eyes, and asked casually, "What will happen if I don't accept the ransom?"
Hearing this, Pelli's heartbeat accelerated a lot, the flattering smile on his face suddenly froze, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead. He said with a somewhat reluctant expression: "This doesn't seem good, according to the common laws of various countries.
I have the right to redeem myself."
"That refers to you, but it does not include me."
Wang Hao still had a faint smile on his lips, but his words were full of irrefutable flavor.
His meaning is very simple. According to the laws of war between the indigenous people of this world, the defeated and captured nobles do have the right to redeem themselves.
However, this rule has no binding force on players. As long as Wang Hao is willing, he can naturally ignore this rule.
Although this will weaken his reputation in France and gain an unfriendly attitude from French-related NPCs.
"Or should I add another 100 gold coins? Up to two hundred?"
If possible, Pelli would not be willing to be a prisoner, but money also occupies an extremely important position in his heart, which can be seen from the pained expression on his face.
As an NPC with a high degree of freedom, although he played a very disgraceful role in this battle, as long as he returns to France, he is confident that he can still solve these troubles.
Of course, it would be better if freedom could be exchanged for a "reasonable" price.
If Wang Hao knew that the maximum ransom amount given by the system to Perry was set at 1,500 gold coins, but the latter was only willing to pay half of it at most, he might have a better understanding of the money-grubbing guy in front of him.
"It's not about money."
Wang Hao waved his hand and interrupted the other party's words, "What I want to ask is, if I refuse the ransom, what can I get?"
"Don't expect to deceive me with lies. The consequences will be serious. I believe you will never be willing to try."
Seeing the dangerous flames flashing in the eyes of the opponent, Pelli couldn't help but take a step back. His face turned blue and white, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
Until Wang Hao's figure came closer and closer in his pupils, the next moment he sat on the deck as if resigned to his fate, "If you refuse to accept the ransom, as a prisoner of war, General... I will become your private
property."
After he said this with difficulty, he simply stopped covering up and revealed his name completely.
"Purple, it's actually purple, are you a captain?"
Wang Hao's breathing suddenly became rapid. Although he had vaguely guessed that there was such a possibility before, when this guess became true, a captain-level NPC would work for him.
A dizzy feeling of being hit by a pie falling from the sky instantly filled Wang Hao's heart.
This is the NPC second only to the legendary captain. You must know that in his last life, Wang Hao struggled in the game for three years and only got one rare-level and three elite-level sailors. But compared with the captain-level NPC
Come on, these are scum.
From ordinary, elite, to rare, if this change is compared to a quantitative change, then being promoted to the captain level is a qualitative change. There is almost no comparability between the two.
As a sign, NPCs at the captain level have very high AI and initiative, and can independently drive a ship to fight, run business, take risks, etc. without relying on the player.
In other words, as long as you can conquer more NPCs above the captain level, you can organize a huge fleet by yourself.
Of course, this is actually very difficult to do. NPCs above the captain level are so precious. Even the recognized number one player in the previous game only managed to conquer one legendary captain and single-digit captain NPCs.
Basically, there is no substantial difference between a legendary captain and a captain, it's just that the former has stronger abilities.
Seeing Perry sitting slumped there, Wang Hao had some doubts in his heart. Could it be that captain-level NPCs also have inferior goods?
If the other party hadn't fully revealed his name, he would hardly have believed that such a loser could actually be a purple-level captain.
You must know that elite-level NPCs and above are almost dozens or hundreds of times more than items of the same level. A captain-level NPC, in the previous life, was probably not even owned by the presidents of large guilds in many countries.
"Let's keep it for a while. If we find it's of no use, we can then resell it and sell it."
When Wang Hao thought of this, he immediately made up his mind and refused the other party's request to pay a ransom for himself.
System: Captain Perry becomes your attendant. Since he is not voluntary, there is a certain chance of escaping during combat or business activities.
Seeing this message, Wang Hao's face darkened and he looked at Pelli.
Paili was shocked by Wang Hao's strange gaze, and shuddered involuntarily. He instinctively read a taste that was not good for him from that gaze.
He thought, since there was no hope of escape, then he should please the master in front of him. Well, for the sake of his future life.
If he wants to live a better life, then he must prove his worth.
"...Master, I can do many things for you. For example, I can fight, run business, and help you guard your treasury and take care of your territory. If you have extra money, Master, I can also help you invest, and the income will definitely satisfy you.
"
If you didn't see the prompt from the system, maybe Wang Hao really believed the other party and helped him fight. Did he want to take advantage of the fight to escape? As for running business, given the other party's money-grubbing character, he might have even shipped the goods with him.
Take them together.
After Perry became his attendant, he was able to see the other party's attributes.
Perry's various attributes are not very high. Of course, being able to drive a fourth-level ship is not much lower. The key is that captain-level NPCs can upgrade and wear equipment, so even if the current level is slightly lower, it will not be much lower.
How important it is.
What Wang Hao values more is the loyalty of the other party, which is only 65.
You must know that if an NPC's loyalty is lower than 70, there is a small chance of running away, and if it is lower than 60, there is a higher chance of running away. As for NPCs whose loyalty is lower than 50, Wang Hao has never seen it with any player.
With such low loyalty, Wang Hao did not dare to let the other party move around freely. He would keep him under observation for two days and wait until he found a way to improve his loyalty.
In the current battle, Wang Hao no longer needs to intervene. Since Paley's surrender, the morale of both sides has waxed and waned. The British side quickly gained the advantage. Coupled with the dispatch of the British left-wing fleet, this battlefield is basically
The victory is guaranteed.
The battlefield in the central part of the country was also developing in the direction that was favorable to the British. Especially at the moment of Paley's surrender, Nelson seized the opportunity of the opponent's demoralized fighter and launched a fierce attack. Although Truquet and Merlin used their best, the entire
The fleet was still being cannibalized bit by bit by the British Royal Navy.
On another battlefield, although the British morale improved after hearing the news of Paley's surrender, they still could not withstand the player army led by Napoleon. When he was about to defeat the Guards Corps led by Howard, he
Suddenly I received bad news from the system.
System: French naval commander Truquet was defeated, and the British camp was judged to have won the battle. This space will be closed in ten minutes.
Listening to this system announcement, everyone stopped what they were doing. The expressions on everyone's faces were different, either angry, sad, or happy, but no matter what they wanted, this time the battle activity was
It finally ended successfully.
Many people immediately collapsed on their boats from exhaustion. Fighting for so long consumed a lot of their mental and physical strength. When they relaxed, they felt powerless.
In front of everyone's eyes, a huge screen appeared. On the screen were the wonderful performances of many players in this battle.
There are presidents of large guilds from various countries, elites among individual players, and the most important ones are those three young faces.
Napoleon, Merlin, and Haotian.
The experiences of these three people occupy most of the entire movie, but no one who has watched these clips can find a reason to object.
Because their contribution to their respective camps far exceeds that of others, they indeed have such a qualification.
The last screen that appeared was the standings of both sides. Wang Hao topped the list with 762 points, almost twice as many as the second place.
As for France, Napoleon ranked first with 651 points, followed by Merlin with 618 points. This is not the final reward.
Because the losing side will give one-third to one-half of the points earned to the winning side.
With Wang Hao's contribution, he can probably get another hundred points.
There is another activity next, which is to select the most popular person and the most awe-inspiring person in this battle.
Every player who participated in this battle had a vote. After a few minutes of deliberation and system statistics, the answer was quickly announced.
Among them, the most popular candidate was Napoleon. His bright smile was so contagious. Of course, it also meant to comfort the losing party.
Wang Hao is the most awe-worthy person in this battle.
The election of these two people may have been expected by many people, so after the answer was announced, there was no look of surprise.
The battle was over. Some were happy, but others were disappointed, especially the French.
If there was a huge difference in strength between the two sides, they would admit it, but until the outcome of the battle came out, they still had the advantage.
If it weren't for that Chinese man who appeared out of nowhere, they would have been the winners this time.
The more they were hit hard at this time, the more the French needed a hero to stand up, and Napoleon naturally came into people's sight.
Driven by some old guilds, Napoleon became the savior in the eyes of many French people.
This does not require forgery, Napoleon's record can stand anyone's test.
At this time, many old guilds in France have not realized what kind of ambition this blond man with a bright smile hides under that warm smile.
Compared to Napoleon's dazzling brilliance, Merlin's aura was much weaker. His face was still as calm as water, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Of course, the most lively place at this time was where the British and French quartermasters were.
When players have a lot of points in their hands, they will naturally want to change to better equipment.
However, Wang Hao and his men did not take any action. Firstly, there were too many people there, and secondly, it did not mean that points could only be redeemed there.
After the dungeon is released, the points can also be redeemed at the main port, where surprises will occasionally appear. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
