Chapter 986 Transia’s fish-man killers are ready!
The six ships except the "Plunder" all changed their direction and went around the island to approach the smuggling anchorage. The vampire pirates used small boats to send people in and obtained protective gear and weapons under the arrangement of First Officer Claire.
Simultaneously deliver medicine and ammunition to the ship.
With the transportation capacity of their fleet, it is impossible to transport everything in the cave at once, so this is just an armed link before entering the Port of Chardeau.
The quality of this batch of supplies intercepted by Murphy and Pablo was average, but it was better in quantity.
Weapons and protective equipment that can arm more than 30,000 people are real treasures no matter where they are on the mainland. If Pablo can contact a generous buyer, just this transaction can make the current turbulent blood...
The Dread clan got the first pot of gold to survive the crisis.
But as Pablo said, the "treasure" given by Murphy was so hot that even a big pirate like him had to take it seriously.
At this time, in the cockpit of the Predator flagship that was parked quietly on the sea, Pablo opened a bottle of wine and drank several sips for himself. Then he used the quantum communication of the Farstrider protective gear to contact Xia Xia.
Murphy staying in Port Eldorado.
"The 'treasure' has been found."
He told Murphy:
"Enough weapons to arm 30,000 people, protective gear, and a large amount of medicine and ammunition. This is an astonishing wealth. So, how do you plan to divide it?"
"What! Only thirty thousand people?"
Pablo thought that Murphy was going to use the treasure to negotiate terms with him, but he didn't expect that his report would make Murphy fall into some kind of incomprehensible anger.
He heard the vampire lord curse with indignation from the other side:
"It was clearly promised before that the portion of 100,000 people would be served! It seems that these dusk dogs have no intention of fully fulfilling the agreement with the Lord of Hunting. The poor hunting brother was tricked by them, and he was boiled! Only one third of it was
The quantity is really disappointing, look at the collapse of etiquette these days!
If even the cultists don't intend to act in accordance with the contract, can the world be okay?
That is the life money of my poor hunting brother! Do you even need to save this? Do you even want to be greedy for dead people’s money?
What a bunch of dogs!"
"What, what, what?"
Pablo was dumbfounded, and the Blood-Dreaded Duke hurriedly asked:
"Why does this matter have something to do with the Lord of Hunting and Dusk? What is 'life money'? If it is the Lord of Hunting's life money, then how do you know this specific location? Ah, look at this now
It seems a little scary.
Don't tell me that all this was arranged by you?
Can you even make arrangements for God’s affairs?”
"Hey, I'm too lazy to say more. I've been looking forward to it in vain."
Murphy replied very unhappily:
"Since there are only 30,000 people, you can arrange the distribution by yourself. Hogg must get one-third, and you can find a way to sell the rest yourself. Give Transia 50% of the money you get, and the rest is considered
Funds provided by the Blood Eagle Clan to support the reconstruction of the Blood Terror Clan.”
"Ah this"
Pablo suddenly felt like he had punched cotton.
When he was discussing with Claire just now, he thought that this treasure was the price offered by Murphy to win over the Blood Terror Fleet. As a result, after a long time of quarrel, the handsome vampire had no intention of letting Pablo monopolize the proceeds.
Look at the distribution plan he has drawn up in advance. This shows that Murphy really just wants the Blood Terror Fleet to stop by and help him count the treasures.
Facts have proved that you don’t have to guess what Murphy is thinking. All the various imaginations about the treasure that the Blood-Dreaded Archduke has along the way are basically equivalent to a battle of wits and courage with the air.
This made him angry for a moment, but then a subtle sense of joy came to his mind. Fortunately, Murphy arranged this so that he would not have to decide whether to betray himself and join Transia at this moment.
It's not that Murphy's territory isn't a good opportunity. The main reason is that the cunning nature of pirates makes him want to wait and see. Even if he is about to sell himself, he has to choose the most perfect time to maximize his profits.
"I'm going to take the Jackals to Port Chardeau tonight, and we'll arrive there in the early hours of tomorrow at most, but there are two things you need to know."
Pablo's mood relaxed, and his tone returned to the cynical attitude before. He drank the wine happily and said in a long voice:
"First of all, the jackals may have found allies. We encountered a large number of wave fishmen on the way here. It is not normal for them to be entrenched here. After a little thought, it is not difficult to find that the goal of those guys is probably to attack by water.
Port Shardau, and the Bone-gnawing Jackal completed an evil internal and external collaboration.
You have to prepare in advance.
Based on the speed at which the murlocs were moving through the water, they might be close to the sea outside the port by now, and they would launch an attack at midnight.
You landlubbers have never seen how murlocs fight, so I suggest you find some experienced sailors in the city for consultation. Don't fight murlocs the same way you fight gnolls.
it's useless.
They have no concept of 'morale'.
There are too many murlocs. If their incoming tide cannot be suppressed from the beginning, the city will be flooded by a massive amount of murlocs overnight.
Oh, right!
The Dagon Secret Cult is also on the move, so Port Shardau may have to face an unplanned wave crashing into the city. That is the murloc's best tactic, as they will ride the waves in the storm to reach the land."
"Well, this is indeed important information. Thanks, Pablo."
In the embassy in Port Chardeau, Murphy turned his head and made a gesture to Adele beside him. The shadow intelligence officer turned and left, immediately sending the information he had just recorded to various important figures in the city.
There are still six hours before midnight, which is enough time to carry out key defenses in the city's port area.
"Where's the second news?"
Murphy asked, and Pablona picked up the label on the table, looked at it, and said:
"This batch of goods comes from a force called 'Martink Trading Company'. I don't remember this name among the famous smugglers in Port Chardeau, but being able to secretly get so many supplies proves that they are very skillful.
You just said that this is the force of dusk, so maybe you should find a way to search around Chardeau Port.
This is a clue."
"Yes, it is indeed, and I happen to have a group of excellent hunters next to me who are always ready to add some intensity to the dusk. They only need a name to complete an outstanding hunt."
Murphy recorded the name and said to Pablo:
"The current situation in Port Chardeau is a bit bad. Although I have retaken the city wall, the number of gnolls outside the city is still increasing. The most terrible thing is that I have discovered some dangerous things hidden underground in this city. I want to focus on it now.
Because of this, there is no time to pay attention to the war outside the city.
So if you and your pirates are ready to join this war, I will transfer you to Maxim's command, do you have any objections to this?"
"No, I am happy to do some safe and rewarding transportation work in this situation."
The Blood-Dreaded Duke smiled and said:
"Who doesn't like the good thing of making money without fighting? But since you said this, it proves that you also have plans for me, so tell me, what are you going to let me do? We can be considered friends who have done great things together.
Now, don’t bring out Lord Paying to suppress me.”
"Okay, then I'll tell you straight away."
Murphy knocked on the table, and in a rhythmic voice, he said to Pablo:
"Let Claire command your fleet, and you come to me to participate in the next thing. I need your shotgun with exaggerated lethality to hold us back. By the way, we can discuss the future development route of the Blood Terror Clan. I
I guess you've been waiting for me to take the initiative to bring this up.
To tell you the truth, when I left Transia, Miriam specifically told me that I must deal with you and your fleet.
If Transia wants to rise and open up enough trade routes, it needs a navy above its level."
"But you don't even have an outlet to the sea."
Pablo complained helplessly:
"The ports before the Confederation of Portia were not very good, and those places were all in the Cato region. That area is now occupied by the Plantagenets. If you want to build a navy, you have to take it back first."
"No, I don't need a seaport in the Cato area."
Murphy snorted and said:
"I think your base camp, Blood Raid Port, is good as the first home port of the Transian Navy. Anyway, that place is close to the border of the Gnoll Kingdom. And with the future relationship between Transia and the Gnoll Kingdom, I don't need to worry at all.
Your supply and security concerns.
Of course, what you said makes sense.
If we want to build a navy, we must have our own outlet to the sea, so from your professional perspective, what do you think of Ice Bay?
Is it suitable as a naval homeport?”
"Blank!"
Pablo was shocked and cursed:
"You want me to die, don't you? Regarding the grudge between the Blood Fear Clan and the Wam barbarians, if I dare to take people there, the Wam Temple will be destroyed that night. They spared me and me last time.
Claire still gained the favor of Lord Vam because of our participation in the God-killing Operation, but this kind of personal preferential treatment and the grievances between clans are not so easy to eliminate."
"Such political and diplomatic issues are not something you, an admiral, need to consider."
Murphy shook his head and said:
"You only need to tell me whether the place in Ice Bay is suitable for the fleet to be stationed for a long time. Miriam will naturally take care of the diplomatic matters. I have many ways to make the Wamu barbarians pretend that they have not seen your activities."
"Uh, okay, let me give you a closer look. First of all, although the environment of the Sea of Storms near the northern polar region is much worse than that of the Sea of Mists, its sea conditions are actually better than those of the Sea of Mists. At least there are not everywhere there.
Yes, the wave murlocs, and the mermaid tide hunters who are more terrifying than the murlocs.
Moreover, during the Fourth Black Disaster, the fleet of the Kingdom of Isa provided material support to Nordtov through several large-scale operations through the Sea of Storms, which has proven that the safety of navigation in the Sea of Storms can be guaranteed."
Pablo rubbed his chin and replied while thinking:
"The only problem with that place is that it used to be the territory of the Kingdom of Isa, but after the Zealanders annexed the Kingdom of Isa, the fleet that once dominated the continent has fallen apart.
King Louis tried his best but could only receive one-third of the fleet. The rest either went to Helms Island to join the resistance, or they turned into a maritime trading group and specialized in running that trade route. Therefore, in this situation
Next, if Transia can seize a home port there before the Plantagenet Kingdom reorganizes its fleet, it will also be able to participate in the growing Storm Sea trade network and get a big share of the pie.
But you must first convince the barbarians to give up the port.
Although the barbarians are not good at long-distance navigation, the deterrent power of their keel warships in the offshore is exaggerated.
Therefore, if I have to say something, I think the coastline in the Sachs area may be more suitable for you to choose as a military port.
The climate there is milder, there are no dangerous ice floes on the sea surface, the material output is more abundant, and it is connected by land to the ancestral forest of Transia. The only problem is that it is now the territory of the Plantagenets.
Look, Murphy, you can't get around King Louis about the rise of Transia on the sea."
"Sooner or later, that annoying guy must be taught a lesson."
Murphy complained and said:
"Okay, I understand your opinion. Now quickly pack your things and arrange your own subordinates, and then come to Port Chardeau and we are ready to start the war. Speaking of which, I have always been curious about your ancestors in the Blood Terror Clan.
Earth has received some strange inheritance.
Can this time open my eyes? My future admiral."
"Hey, hey, I haven't promised you to become a member of Transia yet. Don't use this title yet. I'm a little scared, and the reward hasn't been discussed yet. Don't be impatient, Murphy."
"Of course someone will talk to you about the reward. I think Lord Paying will be happy to have a good exchange with a greedy pirate leader on my behalf about the Blood Terror clan's responsibility and dedication to vampire civilization."
"Damn! You are such a dog. You told me not to use Lord Paying to suppress me!"
——
In the darkness of Port Chardeau, a large army was rapidly deploying on the dock in the port area.
After receiving the news that the Wave Murlocs might have formed an alliance with the Jackals and might attack the port, the Steam Lords, who had been suffering from PTSD due to the deteriorating situation, reacted very quickly and radically.
The defenses on the frontline city wall could not be moved, so they mobilized the walkers and artillery arrays for backup defense in the entire city to the port area. As the most important commercial area of Chardeau Port, the port area is already quite complete.
The defense system has not resisted murloc attacks before, so the city defense officers in the port area are not very nervous.
"Push up the city defense cannon! Prepare more grapeshot and aim at the sea."
A halfling city defense officer wearing a small armor waved to several subordinates behind him. There was no need to expect the small body of the halfling to push the cannon. These guys used special walking machines to complete the transportation and transportation of these heavy weapons.
erected.
Walkers with carriages continuously delivered artillery shells to the position, and the evacuation of residents in the port area was also carried out in an orderly manner.
This scene made the players who were ordered to come to support the war look at each other in shock.
"Damn! No matter how I look at it, I feel like these halflings have achieved mechanized combat."
Sanjin Digua Shao, who was following Master Qin and pretending to be a "guard", stared at the walkers transporting artillery shells and the mechanics who were doing final inspections on the walkers. He complained in a low voice:
"This technological power has already surpassed that of the Jackals by several levels. It's like using a machine gun to fight the Mongolian army. How could you still be beaten into such a coward?"
"Because no matter how powerful the weapon is, it still needs people to operate it. Whether it is physical fitness or civilized form, halflings are definitely not a race suitable for war situations. They are scholars and they should be scholars."
Old Qin gave a standard answer, his eyes always wandering on the halfling soldiers.
He could feel the timidity and fear in the hearts of these little men. Although they controlled powerful machines, these powerful weapons could not bring them enough courage. If the war really turned dangerous, they could not be counted on.
However, halflings are not without their advantages.
Lao Qin walked to a platform and looked down to see the residents of the port area, led by the defense team, evacuating in an orderly manner at a very fast speed with their most important property and family members.
It can be seen that they are all scared. The adults are holding the children's hands tightly, and some children are crying. However, the entire evacuation process is not chaotic at all. The halflings' innate order and sociality make them
Large-scale activities can often be completed at a speed far beyond human imagination.
"They are suitable for staying in the rear to do support work. It is really difficult for them to go to the front on the battlefield."
Master Qin shook his head and said:
"I hope this war can teach the halflings some lessons. Their combination with the machines perfectly makes up for their talent disadvantages.
Although those who are eager to fight will inevitably perish, those who forget to fight will be in danger.
Ever since I entered this world, this principle has been played out in front of me time and time again.
Okay, don't follow me anymore, go to the position below."
He turned back to the three kilograms of sweet potato roast and said:
"You and your brothers have to assist the city defense team in holding that position. Considering the current firepower of the halflings, this task is not difficult. It is said that the single strength of the fishmen is also very poor. Tonight is just the right time for the newbies to
Practice your hands.
If we can deal with the danger here alone, then it is best not to mobilize the expeditionary force soldiers here, their tasks on the outer city wall are much more important than here."
"Don't worry, aren't they just a group of fishmen taking advantage of the situation?"
Digua Shao patted his chest and said:
"I have killed a lot of murlocs in other games. Tonight I will show you how powerful we 'murloc killers' are!"
"These guys have become a little proud recently. It seems that defeating the Jackals has greatly increased their confidence."
Lao Qin watched the sweet potatoes leave and he shook his head and thought:
"The warning given by Lord Murphy himself means that there may be a tough battle tonight. Maybe I should prepare early?"
He took another look at the steam walkers that were transporting supplies back and forth around him. After thinking about it, he turned to the five pairs of wheels walking next to him and said:
"Invite the little Earl of Sharon and Ruyi to come over and apply for five dragon cavalry to suppress the formation. You and the Qing Dynasty veterans will personally lead people to set up cross fire nets at the commanding heights on both sides. This is the first time we may face a real urban war.
And street fighting, let the boys go into battle and learn a lesson."
