"I have to thank Master An Zaikang for this, because the twenty warships were transformed from the Helmet-class merchant ships bought by Master An Zaikang from the Helmet-class port." Bikud said as he nodded to An Zaikang.

An Zaikang shook his hand and said, "Don't thank me. Without my elder brother, uh, if my lord allocates funds, I wouldn't have bought twenty ships in such a short time.

"Although the ex-factory price of this Helmet-class merchant ship only costs 100,000 gold coins, it's a pity that you have to queue up to get the goods. If you want to own so many ships in the shortest time, you have to repurchase them from others who have already ordered. On average, each ship costs 120,000 gold coins.

"In this way, the twenty merchant ships are already 2.4 million gold coins. In addition to the transformation and construction costs, the Lei family navy, which built these twenty warships, spent at least three million gold coins. If there weren't such a generous lord, this navy would not have appeared at all."

"Don't praise me, but you have worked hard and made great contributions and sacrificed a lot, because you are eager to buy twenty Helmet-class merchant ships this time, and leave when you buy them, so that the Chamber of Commerce in Helmet-Capitals has noticed you and frozen your right to purchase the merchant ship. If they find that you have transferred your funds, you may deprive your business group of registration qualifications."

Cons said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, my godfather has a business group registered. If the lord needs it, he can also ask his godfather to buy a batch of Helmet and Grade Merchant Ships. This will force him to come here." An Zaikang said indifferently.

Since they have entered a private topic at this moment, the distance between the two is relatively close, and even the voice of talking is relatively low.

"Is Uncle Kuiqi still unwilling to abandon those industries to help me?" Cons asked with some emotion.

"It's not that he doesn't want to, but his godfather thinks he's there to help you, not only can he help you collect Wilt's intelligence, but also can help you purchase some important materials.

"Brother, uh, lord, let's just send some people to register about 10 to 20 merchant groups. In this way, when each merchant group reaches its level and is qualified to buy Helmet and Qiao-class merchant ships, we will have dozens of them at once, and it will not attract attention.

"If the lord is ambitious, just register hundreds of merchant groups and join forces to make trouble. If you have good luck, maybe we can become the masters of Jiqiao Port. Then don't talk about Jiqiao-class merchant ships, even Jiqiao-class warships will not be a problem." An Zaikang said excitedly.

Cons was obviously stunned, and Xiang Wen, who was eavesdropping, immediately came forward and whispered: "Sir, the third master said this. Isn't Wilt the one who has more money? Anyway, we have more money, so why not give it a try? The worst result is that we can't control the port of Helmet and Qiao, and there is no loss to us."

Cons, who felt that this was reasonable, nodded and said to An Zaikang and Xiangwen: "Then let you and Xiangwen take responsibility for this matter."

With just a few whispers, Cons formed another department that no one knew about.

"Three million gold coins?" Okol was stunned. This was equivalent to a ton of gold for another warship. What kind of warship is so valuable!

However, he soon discovered that Cons and An Zaikang were muttering something, but as soon as they were about to move forward, they didn't say anything again.

Okor couldn't help but feel annoyed: Do you still think I am a brother? I didn't let me listen to the whisper!

Damn it! Anyone can tell this action at a glance. An Zaikang is more trusted by Cons than me! It seems that he has to think of some ways to whisper to Cons!

When Bikud saw the look of doubt and knew what everyone was thinking, he waited until Cons's whisper, and then said in a calm tone: "This battleship is both used for both sails, with a maximum speed of five knots against the wind and water. Each battleship is equipped with two hundred siege crossbows and fifty catapults. The catapults are installed on the top deck, and the siege crossbows are placed on the second deck.

"Twenty siege crossbows and five catapults on each bow and stern, and eighty siege crossbows and twenty catapults on each side. Moreover, these siege crossbows and catapults are equipped with pulleys and fixtures, which can be moved at any time if necessary. And they have all strengthened their range and the projectile has reached a range of one kilometer.

"The catapult car uses thick clay tanks with tinder oil, while the crossbow arrows are hollow with oil, and the arrows are wrapped in oil cloth. When they are lit, they become rockets immediately. In addition to being equipped with two thousand clay tanks and ten thousand crossbow arrows, the warship can also carry one thousand naval soldiers and five hundred sailors, and can travel at sea for twenty days after being filled with personnel and supplies."

When I heard these information, although I didn’t know how powerful it was, the large number of siege crossbows and catapults, especially crossbow arrows and clay tanks that fired tinder oil, could completely imagine a scene of a sea of ​​fire in my mind.

They knew how huge the Helmet-class merchant ship was. It was difficult for such a tall ship to climb. Wouldn't it be easy to shoot from a condescending place? Therefore, everyone opened their mouths.

Okor's mind immediately turned: Oh my God, wouldn't it be easy to command such a warship to attack the Third Fleet of the Empire? Such merits are enough to make him an elder? Even if he cannot be promoted, he will have a reward of at least three or four thousand stones high, right?

This is the navy, and it should not be under the command of Kaihai. Didn’t you just say that you would eliminate the third fleet with the cooperation of the navy?

This should be the case. The naval commander must fight for it! Although he doesn’t understand naval warfare, will those captains not understand? He just needs to give orders to let them perform!

Just when Okor was about to speak, Cons had already spoken: "Okard, you will be the commander of the First Fleet of the Lei Family Navy, and the task of destroying the Third Fleet of the Empire will be handed over to you."

Okde, who had not said anything, bowed down and saluted: "Yes, I will accept the order."

This made Okore and others stunned. Judging from the guy's appearance, it turned out that he had known that he would be appointed as the first captain of the Navy! This guy must have been secretly intern in the Navy!

With this understanding, Okol's anger soared into the sky! It turns out that Cons completely treats himself as an outsider! He doesn't know all the secret matters at all!

However, Okol quickly calmed down again. He guessed whether this was because he acted a little close to Cons. If he gave people this feeling, he would have failed. No wonder he didn't regard himself as a brother.

I should review and change myself. This should be my strength, otherwise why would I deal with so many noble ladies? Okor, who had made a decision, felt that he was immediately full of passion.

After several more people's livelihood tasks, everyone suddenly lost the topic because all the tasks that can be assigned have been arranged. Could it be that they talk about the romance? Will they be scolded by the lord?

Seeing everyone's sudden speechless scene, Cons smiled helplessly: "Oh, I originally wanted to chat with you, but I didn't expect it to be a military and political meeting. Forget it, I won't leave you for dinner. Let's break up."

"Yes, I will leave." Everyone immediately bowed with relief and retreated.

Looking at the eagerness of the retainers leaving, Cons shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, opened the book again, and continued to watch.

The Lei family belongs to the territory of Qiyama Castle.

Hundreds of Lei family peasants climbed up nervously along the hillside under the leadership of dozens of Lei family warriors.

It should be their actions to search for something dangerous, because the warriors who only draw out their weapons when facing the enemy actually draw out their weapons now and pay attention to the situation around them with a nervous expression.

A samurai led the team stopped, wiped his sweat, and looked at the mountains and forests that looked a little gloomy even if the sun was in the sky. After taking a breath, he spat: "Bah! It's so fucking unlucky. I just sent to be the captain and encountered such a rags! How could the legendary thing suddenly appear? Is it going to change the world?"

Speaking of this, the warrior looked up at the sky.

The sky was still blue. He couldn't help but shake his head, turned his head and scolded the peasant soldiers under his command, "Hurry up!

Don’t be too late, just search the mountains and forests early and go back early!”

"yes!"

As soon as the peasant soldier said this, a barking of dogs and chaotic shouts came from afar: "Come here! The magic dog is here!"

"Damn it! Go to die! Go to die!"

"Ah! The dog guy actually dares to bite me!"

Screams came one after another, and everyone immediately knew that a brother was in danger. The warrior immediately blushed and shouted loudly: "Come on!" and rushed out with his knife.

Although the peasant soldiers looked ugly, they gritted their teeth and kept up quickly. They were unwilling to give up the peasant soldiers who could definitely become warriors. Although they knew the danger, they had to keep up.

At the foot of the mountain, hundreds of peasants and thousands of farmers surrounded the forest.

The peasant soldiers had no strange symptoms yet, but the farmers who were holding weapons such as hoes and bamboo poles all looked uneasy, but because of the existence of several more gorgeously-clad warriors in the encirclement, they could still keep quiet.

These warriors who were uneasy and paced back and forth were relieved after hearing the noisy sounds on the mountain. On the contrary, the peasant soldiers and farmers were all nervous and had not received the order, they flattened the weapon and aimed straight ahead.

"Huh, although these demon dogs are powerful, they are also beasts. Dozens of warriors and hundreds of farmers are enough to destroy them." A warrior said with a relaxed expression.

The other warrior nodded: "Yes, these beasts are wandering around because of their small size, otherwise they can be eliminated by just one encounter, and there is no need for such a big formation."

"Oh, I don't know how to explain it to the above. The demon dog appeared inexplicably, and even the demon dog was bitten to death dozens of people. Even the peasant soldiers suffered more than a dozen casualties. They would definitely be condemned by the above." The warrior in the middle frowned and said.

"Sir, you can't blame us for such a thing. After all, no one would have expected the sudden appearance of the legendary thing like the Magic Dog. And after discovering the Magic Dog, the Magic Dog immediately directed us to set up a net of heaven and earth to encircle and suppress it, which was also fulfilled. Maybe not only did not punish, but would be rewarded." A warrior comforted.

"I hope so." The middle samurai sighed.

At this time, a cheer came from the forest. When the sound was heard, everyone with ears showed joy, which meant that the demon dog had been eliminated. As the cheer stopped, the peasant soldiers carrying several objects with a spear began to go down the mountain under the leadership of the warriors.

Another warrior saw that no one was being carried out and said with relief: "No one died in battle this time, and it seems that the magic dog is nothing great."

"Yes, these demon dogs can only bite people to death while they are unprepared. If you really notice it, I believe that even farmers can destroy them." A warrior responded.

However, the warrior in the middle said with a serious expression: "Don't underestimate these demon dogs. They only have five, which will bring us nearly a hundred casualties and losses. What if there are fifty, five hundred, and five thousand?"

Hearing this, the faces of the two warriors next to him changed. Fifty can still be dealt with, and more than five hundred will definitely be a disaster.

Another warrior hurriedly said, "Sir, the official thought that the matter should be reported immediately, so that the prefectures and counties should pay attention to the existence of the magic dog, and beware of it as soon as possible."

The samurai in the middle nodded: "It should be true." Speaking of this, he turned around and was about to say something, but suddenly glared at the front. The two samurai felt strange and turned their heads to watch.

They were also stunned at this time. They saw a peasant soldier behind them, his face, neck, hands, and any exposed skin was shaking, and his blood vessels slowly emerged, and his whole body looked very terrifying.

What's even more terrifying is that the peasant soldier did not notice any abnormality on his body. He still held a spear and stood there with his head held high.

The warrior in the middle pointed at the peasant soldier and shouted: "What's going on with you?"

The peasant soldier turned his head left and right in confusion, and at this moment, he noticed that the other peasant soldiers stared at him with horror and took a few steps back.

At this moment, I realized that I was the target of the peasant soldier. I looked at my body in surprise and immediately raised my hands in front of me in horror.

Now, the blood vessels on his body are as thick as the size of an earthworm, especially the dense and blue blood vessels on his face, which are extremely disgusting.

The peasant soldier opened his mouth in horror and wanted to shout, but seeing his mouth shaking his throat, he obviously couldn't make any sound.

When the blood vessels quickly expanded to the size of their thumb, they suddenly faded away in an instant, and the blood vessels returned to their original state, but the skin color turned strangely blue.

The other peasants and soldiers nervously raised their guns to surround this companion. After experiencing the strange scene just now, no one dared to regard him as a companion.

The three warriors were bold and came forward with the handle of the knife, preparing to find out what was going on. The peasant soldiers who kept their hands in front of them and their heads slightly drooped suddenly made a gloomy laugh.

As soon as the laughter came out, everyone, including the warrior, took a step back. However, the warriors also immediately drew their weapons and pointed them at the peasant soldier.

"Hehehe, this kind of power-filled feeling is so good. I feel like I can tear you all apart with my bare hands. I don't know why, but I really want to taste the steaming blood." The peasant soldier said as he slowly raised his head.

I saw his blue face, red pupils, a tongue with a little long and saliva kept ticking down, licking from his left chin to his right nose. The peasant soldier, who had an ordinary appearance, became so evil and disgusting.

Hearing this evil language, seeing disgusting movements, and the horrifying eyes, everyone couldn't help but immediately raised their hair. A nearby peasant soldier seemed to be unable to withstand such a strange atmosphere. He suddenly roared and stabbed the peasant soldier with his gun all over the blue skin.

A sound of metal piercing into the leather sounded, and the peasant soldier stabbed with all his strength and stabbed half of the gun head, and no blood flowed out at all.

The blue peasant soldier smiled fiercely at the peasant soldier who was stunned for this result, stretched his hand and easily pierced the peasant's chest. Then he pulled it, and a beating heart appeared in his hand.

With wide eyes, he looked at the peasant soldier who was staring at his empty chest slowly falling down.

The blue peasant soldier held this heart high, opened his mouth and then scattered blood, making a gurgling sound from his throat, not knowing whether it was a swallow or a laugh.

What makes people feel sad is that this guy actually tilted his head, stretching out his long tongue and blood dripping from his heart, while scanning everyone with a provocative smile.

The two warriors immediately opened their eyes wide and shouted: "Demon! Come to die!" They rushed forward with their machetes.
Chapter completed!
