Old Sword Master

The Spanish ship is in front, and the merchant ship of Lit Chamber of Commerce is behind, and the speed exceeds ten knots. This is not easy when the acceleration array is not activated.

It is very uneconomical to start the acceleration array, and if it is too close to the coastline, it is likely to cause a rock hit.

In fact, the current speed has made Liu Dayang a little nervous. He bit a biscuit and commented in as calm as possible: “These Spaniards (very tǐng) are capable.”

Without a response to what he said, Liu Dayang asked again: “What do you think, Hogg?”

“Yes, (very tǐng) capable.” Hogg replied. He had a small bag of magic materials that Wood had just sent by his waist. “But Wood is also very difficult to deal with. The magic materials he sent are not ordinary.”

“Che, probably the agent of the Fate Chamber of Commerce.” Liu Dayang was very disdainful, “The key is still to look at the Spanish.”

Although it was at night and there was only a very faint starlight, Spain’s pilot mage still chose the waterway very well. Not only will it not get lost when it is close to the coast, but it can also be abrupt in the battle.

This navigator has experience serving in the Atlantic, and is a strong and powerful general named for his son by Commander Bazin.

He is checking the state of the arrows. He has several bow and quiver bags, and each one has to be opened for inspection. One of them is larger and contains about 20 arrows, the others are very small and thin, and can only hold 2 bows and arrows. That’s all, but most of the quiver like this is also dissatisfied, often only having one bow and arrow.

“I said why did you buy such expensive arrows? It is very difficult to reimburse.” However, Liu Dayang felt that there were too many bows and arrows, “I tell you, taking advantage of the land of Buda and Pest is not expensive. First, buy 100 acres of irrigated land, and then buy 30 cows. Don’t raise horses. Shipping is much better than horses. If possible, buy a boat and rent it to His Excellency Li Te. Of course, it’s best to go to Venice Financial Street. National debt, alas, the interest on Polish national debt is high, 14% a year!”

“I like arrows.”

“At least buy better armor. What do you want the core longbow for.”

“I like arrows, second only to like bows.”

Using the faint oil lamp on the deck, Hogg checked from the arrow feathers inch by inch, and his eyes and hands worked together to ensure that each arrow would fly as he intended when shot.

Each of the inspected arrows is coated with solidified olive oil. This is also processed by Hogg himself with ordinary olive oil. He rarely buys refined oil and always likes to make it by himself, and then carefully rebuild it with both hands. Put it in the bag, “What else do you paint on when you are about to fight.” Liu Dayang disapproved of Hogg. “This oil is not cheap. You can buy several Chamber of Commerce tradable debts in one pot. You said that you can’t buy low-interest Treasury bonds. Some of your assets have to be invested in places with higher interest rates. Rit’s Chamber of Commerce’s debts are not good, Harna Chamber of Commerce is good, and Galilee Chamber of Commerce is good, too. More than 20% interest, and the background is hard! Nothing can happen!”

“I have no money. I still owe the Fate Chamber of Commerce 1000 Dotal debts.” Hogg’s tone was calm, and he didn’t have much trouble because of the debt.

“Don’t buy that many useless arrows!” Liu Dayang is not very fond of Hogg’s battle method. Although his bows and arrows are always terrifying, they are ultimately less deterrent and less deterrent than charging and close combat. It is decisive, but in fact Liu Dayang envied this kind of combat method. Compared with jumping into a gang, Archer looked less dangerous.

Liu Dayang used to like to yell and throw enemies into the Danube, but recently he understood the true meaning of life. The best thing is to lie in his lover’s arms and drink a glass of sweet wine with oranges or dried apples. It is the “frozen valley”, Liu Dayang likes this white wine mixed with mint and ice. But the bag he brought from Vienna was all drunk.

He took out his wine pouch and took another gulp.

“Don’t be so close to the ship’s side. The formidable power of the array can only ensure the moisture in the air. Direct contact with water will damage your mind.” Huang, who has been watching Hogg’s inspection and maintenance of bows and arrows, said suddenly. One sentence.

“The humidity of bad luck, the ocean of bad luck, and the little bastard Wood of bad luck.” Liu Dayang hurried back a few steps, “We really can’t mix things up on the sea. Your Royal Highness is with us Boss and Ottomans. Fighting with the heretic on the Danube is that’s all. The emperor will have to leave the matter of the Mediterranean to the emperor. What the hell is this? We didn’t even get a dividend last year.”

Liu Dayang’s words did not arouse much sympathy among the surrounding sailors. Their year-end awards last year were indeed not many. It may be less than half of the year-end awards compared to the more lucrative years, but everyone thinks it is OK.

They were even secretly pleased with Liu Dayang’s complaint.

What Li Te canceled was Li Te Chamber of Commerce shareholders’ dividends. Li Te controlled more than 40% of the shares of Chamber of Commerce named after him. After receiving the support of several minority shareholders, he easily passed the expansion in the Mediterranean. Business proposal.

At that time, the Crusader countries were falling one by one. Some merchants operating between Venice and Alexandria have made a lot of profits in the past 5 years. They decided to sell the merchant ship that took 4 years to make a profit. Only the price of new ships is 5% to 20%.

But most of the original shipowners still think this is a very good business. They have benefited a lot from the interaction between Egyptian food and Austrian industrial products in the past 5 years. Most of them, like Lit Chamber of Commerce, are also owned by Austrian Duchy All kinds of unemployed (set tào), but unlike Li Te Chamber of Commerce, they do not have enough strength and self-confidence.

Ritter still maintains an expansion in the Mediterranean. He ignores the prospect of Egyptian food being diverted to Marseilles and Istanbul. He took advantage of the low price to eat a large number of ships and took over the original sailors. Now he is just barely in the Adriatic. Provide transportation services at a guaranteed price.

At that time, Liu Dayang was very distressed that this incident led to the disappearance of his dividends. He didn’t expect Li Te Big Boss to get involved in the business of the Eastern Mediterranean.

“Che, if you don’t want to come to the Mediterranean Sea, you can go to the berry-producing area. The treatment there is much better. You said that the berry-growing area is too humid and you are not used to the wine made with berries.” Ahuang dislikes Liu Dayang and does not fight hard. Spiritual partner, “Okay, who doesn’t want to mess with the Spanish bosses, well, isn’t the protection fee too high.”

“People want to be high, let’s go to the low.” Liu Dayang did not realize the point. The relationship between Ritt Chamber of Commerce and Austria is close enough, in fact, they cannot cooperate with Spain.

But Liu Dayang knew that he couldn’t go to the berry-producing area, where there were dragons and elven guerrillas, and even Li Te didn’t take advantage of it.

Finally, there is a fierce and cruel, cannibalistic queen who feeds people to her plant partners from time to time. Liu Dayang should not go. He is not the type that the queen likes.

“What do you mean, Hogg?” Ahuang asked.

“His Royal Highness’s instruction is to observe how strong the resistance on Crete is. If everything depends on the Spanish, it is naturally the Spanish who has the final say. It is good to provide tranquilizers, but you want to be a Crete. The master is not enough, not enough.” Hogg raised his bow and arrow, and he was already nervous, “Of course, we have to observe again, anyway, the answer will be known soon.”

Hogg generally worked for Ladislaus, not Litte, and his power within the Austrian Duchy system was fundamental.

Of course he did get a allowance from Lit Chamber of Commerce, and he also enjoyed non-voting shares like Liu Dayang. This was what he deserved. In the lower reaches of the Danube, he killed more than 100 Ottomans with his bow and arrow. , All have combat occupation levels, and most of the trade in these areas today is operated by the Lit Chamber of Commerce.

Liu Dayang was happy with Hogg’s answer (it’s tǐng), it seemed (it’s tǐng) close to him, but he didn’t realize that the words Hogg said to Ahuang had already been the same as what he said to him in half a month. Almost as many.

By this time, they had reached their destination, and the Spaniard’s ship had approached the dock repaired by the pirates.

The very quiet in the harbor seemed to be a successful raid.

The Spanish soldiers began to disembark in an orderly manner. They went straight into the deep mouth area. No one made any noise. The 100 people were like one person, coordinated and confident.

…

The Ottomans who had been waiting for most of the night finally got their guests.

“Hehe, it really came.” Captain Umaman said excitedly, “His Royal Highness, it is the Gonzalez protected by the Holy Mother, the ship of the Big Bazin, and the ship of the eldest son of Commander Bazin!”

In the darkness, Hassan Bellebey was leading more than 500 pirates to prepare to give the Spaniards a cruel welcome.
