Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World

Snow-white waves caressed the beach, and seagulls cried from time to time in the sky. Under the sunlight, the sea was like a blue mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white jade. It was a good day to go out to sea, but at this time, the Fulan Port wharf area was extremely quiet. The fishermen engaged in fishing and the ship merchants engaged in transportation business on weekdays were all gone, because everyone did not want to cause trouble.

"Paddle quickly!" Not far from the shore, a dozen pirates tried their best to paddle their oars, and among them was the head shark of the pirate group. Abandoning the other pirate brothers who were guarding the city gate, they quietly returned to the church, packed up the gold, silver and jewels they had collected during these days, and secretly transported them to the dock area, found a galley and prepared to slip away quietly. While opening the cable, Schroeder led the soldiers to raid the dock area.

The pirates were so frightened that they cut off the cables, hoisted their sails and started to escape. Schroeder ordered to pursue, and personally led the soldiers to jump on two ships still anchored at the pier, and chased after the pirate's ship.

Although the sea was calm at the moment, the shark felt that he was in a storm, and he kept cursing, from Gryman to the minion (in his opinion) who was not paddling hard beside him. However, the ships controlled by the soldiers are getting closer and closer to them. On the one hand, the pirates don’t have enough manpower. They only have a dozen or so people. On the other hand, the gold, silver and jewelry they carry are too heavy, but it is basically impossible for the sharks to drop these treasures. .

"I think you should surrender honestly. I can plead with the local lord for you and ask him to pardon your capital crimes."

A weak voice sounded, and the owner of the voice was a young man with his hands tied behind his back.

"Shut up!" The shark pounced on the young man and slapped the young man across the face: "Be honest, if you talk too much, I'll cut off one of your hands and feed it to the fish."

The young man fell silent after being slapped.

This little boy from the south named Quiller Foster ran here three months ago, brazenly saying that he was going to challenge the great pirate De Howard. Father in heaven, doesn't he know that people who did this before were thrown into the sea and fed to the sharks? However, there is no shortage of such adventurous fools in the affluent areas of the south, especially these pampered sons and daughters, who have had enough wine and tired of playing with women, and want to find some other kind of excitement.

Well, luckily you weren't fed a real shark in Edward's absence, but my shark is going to give you a treat for him. Judging by the boy's attire, he must have a lot of money. After a few tricks, he got rid of his old background. He came from the Foster family of the Jiaowan League, which is a big family in the Jiaowan area.

That being the case, let the little boy write a letter to his family and obediently take money to redeem him. No matter how awesome the navy of the Jiaowan Alliance is, it is impossible to send a fleet to go around more than 2,000 nautical miles to the Northwest Bay to rescue a dude. Seeing that a large amount of wealth is about to be credited, and occupying Fulan Port by himself will become a fait accompli. If you spend some money to settle the surrounding lords, maybe you can become a nobleman.

But such a bright future was ruined by that kid from the Greiman family. snort! After I got the money from the Foster family, I went to recruit soldiers and horses, and sooner or later I called back to let the kid go to see his old man.

…

Two galleys operated by Arda soldiers followed the pirate's ship from left to right. If viewed from a high altitude, the distance between the two sides was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was only a matter of time before the pirates were caught up.

"Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"

Shark pulled out his saber and ordered to his subordinates.

"I have been sailing across the sea for more than 20 years. I haven't seen any strong winds and waves. I don't believe that I can be planted here today."

The other pirates responded and drew their weapons.

…

Makarov asked loudly: "It's about to hit the pirate ship! Are the muskets ready?"

The comrades-in-arms expressed that they were ready.

"Don't worry, make sure to let them drink a pot."

"Okay, I'll call one, two, three, let's work together."

"Okay, after this wave, there are probably not many people on the other side."

"You have to aim, don't hurt your own people on the other ship, Master Schroeder is also on it."

"Such a short distance, no problem at all!"

…

Accompanied by two consecutive huge shocks, the two ships collided with the pirate's ship one from the left and the other from the right. The personnel on both sides were shaken by the shock, and after a little stabilization, the muskets in Arda's army crackled, and the three pirates who were hit were killed on the spot. The battle at sea was a bit turbulent. Although the distance was very close, the musketeers still didn't hit all of them, but this was already a head start, and the pirates' momentum was obviously suppressed a lot.

"Kill!" Schroeder jumped onto the pirate ship immediately, and the shark swung his weapon against the old knight's sword. It was a machete that looked very heavy at first glance, and Schroeder's knight's sword was a little bit inferior in comparison. slim.

The shark's eyes were red, and the veins on his neck popped up. He roared, "Old man, come on! Come on! I've drunk so many people's blood with this one, and it's going to try a new taste today."

"Hmph! Bravado." Schroeder, who had been through battles for a long time, could tell at a glance that this guy was emboldening himself.

The two stopped talking nonsense, and fought back and forth on the deck. The old knight was not used to fighting on a bumpy ship. At first, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was just parrying the opponent's attack, but his defense No leaks, the sharks didn't get any cheap.

The others also looked for their own opponents, and the sound of the collision of weapons and the fighting of everyone resounded across the sea.

"You gangsters! Don't try to take my money!"

The shark waved its weapon frantically, opening and closing its moves. Under the excitement, it was a bit confused about the identities of the two sides.

But the number of Arda's army that was chasing was several times that of the pirates, and the huge advantage finally shattered the desperate resistance of the pirates.

Schroeder also gradually adapted to the current battle, and gradually turned from defense to offense. Finally, the shark was stabbed in the thigh by Schroeder's sword, and fell to the deck, unable to stand up again.

"Surrender! I surrender!" He threw down his weapon in despair, resigning himself to fate.

Seeing that the boss had surrendered, the other pirates who had not yet been punished dropped their weapons and surrendered.

"Tie them up and return!"

Schroeder gave the shark a cold look on the deck and gave the order to return to the pier.

At this time, a voice sounded from the corner of the deck: "You are Lord Arda's army, my lord, help me!"

The voice was full of joy for the rest of his life. Schroeder turned his head and saw a young man with his hands tied behind his back, squatting in a corner of the deck with tears in his eyes. The battle just now was so fierce that he didn't notice it for a while.

Don't be careless, you have to find out his identity first, "Who are you? Why were you tied to the ship by pirates."

"I am a member of the Foster family of the Southern Cape Alliance. I was kidnapped by pirates a few months ago. You saved me, and my family will definitely reward you a lot!"

The young man hastily revealed his identity.
