Chapter 175: A Huge Caravan

"Yes. www.biquge.infoLocke turned to look at him and nodded, and then the two walked to the side.

"Hello, I'm Marras Villere, captain of the Oak." The pirate captain took off his hat and bowed to the standard pirate etiquette.

"Hello, I'm the head of the people here. They are all there for me now. Locke nodded slightly.

As a nobleman, this is already the biggest face for the pirate captain. If only before, Lordaeron's navy had already begun to fight pirates at sea.

"Then you must be a great nobleman!" Pirate Captain Villere became slightly respectful, "It's rare for you to have such a large army and territory at such a young age. ”

Locke smiled and didn't explain anything, and didn't need to explain anything to him. His identity is beyond the reach of pirates, if he was a person on two lines before.

"I'm just talking to you, sir." Captain Villere, the pirate captain, pointed to the soldiers who were watching the pirates everywhere with a guarded face, and said, "We pirates also have rules that prohibit pirates from stealing, causing trouble, and bullying women after disembarking, and if you meet a woman and mess with her without her consent, you will be executed on the spot." ”

"So, there's no need to make your soldiers so nervous." Pirate Captain Villere continued, "Each of our pirates will monitor each other, and if they find a fleet of pirates doing this, they will be rewarded with 200-400 silver coins for reporting it. ”

"That's your rule, Captain Villere. Our rules here are order," Locke said with a serious look on his face, "as long as you follow our order, the soldiers will not do anything to you." ”

"Rest assured, our people will follow the local laws."

"Then I take my leave, and I'm going back to my ship, and goodbye, my lord." The pirate captain Villere nodded, and his men got into the boat, back to the fleet in the distance.

"Legion Commander, these bandits still need to keep an eye on it. They have rules of one kind and another, but no one is sure that they are what they say they are. Captain Marslan said worriedly.

Born in a naval family, he didn't have the slightest affection for those pirates.

"Just keep an eye on them, there's nothing here that can do them harm." Locke said disapprovingly, "Now it's time for our people and the caravan to arrive." ”

In the evening, the shouts and footsteps of people could be heard in the woodland. Soon a large crowd of civilians arrived, and children, old people, and women appeared in the woodland behind them, and they were resting in the woodland panting.

Soon, Shiloh, Bridget, and the co-captains of the A and C wings all rushed over.

Especially Shiloh, the inspector, logistics manager, and quartermaster of the Fifth Legion, who has been so busy recently that she can't even sleep, and the pressure of tens of thousands of people's lives has been pressing on her shoulders, and she has become a little thinner.

"Legion Commander! I'm here with everyone, have we all arrived? Shiloh asked, looking at Locke eagerly.

"You're just in time, look." Locke pointed to the sea level, where a huge sun was slowly sinking into the surface. In the middle of the sun, huge sails bloom in the afterglow of the sun like white flowers.

"The Light is above!" Shiloh looked at the fleet in amazement!

The battleships that had arrived before on the surface of the sea had already given way to the middle channel. This vast ocean is densely packed with merchant ships.

There are nearly 100 large merchant ships with a length of nearly 60 meters, and each of these large merchant ships has a deadweight of more than 1,000 tons. There are also small and medium-sized merchant ships around these large merchant ships, which completely block out the sun.

"Now, it's up to the goblins to bring us!" Locke also said with some excitement, "I have high expectations for this trade fleet!" ”

On the docks, all the soldiers and civilians looked in amazement at the large dense fleet of ships on the sea.

"O Holy Light! I've never seen so many merchant ships! Could it be the trade fleet of the Kingdom of Kurtilas?! One soldier said in surprise.

"It's nothing short of a miracle! So many ships! ”

"Look! There are so many frigates next to it! Oh, and they're flying pirate flags?! Pirates actually escorted merchant ships? Am I right? ”

In everyone's astonished eyes, the trade fleet came to a halt a few miles outside the harbor. They began to drop anchor, and then small merchant ships began to enter the harbor docks one by one.

"How much did you spend?! To buy so much stuff?! Bridget asked him incredulously, "These ships, these cargo." It takes tens of thousands of gold coins to do it! I don't believe it! You can save such an asset with the title of a knighthood of a knighthood?! ”

Locke hurriedly covered Bridget's mouth with his hand, preventing her from speaking further. He turned his head to observe the expressions of the other officers, and was relieved to find that they were still indulging in shock at the number of trade fleets.

"I'll tell you later!"

After these smaller, 20-meter-long merchant ships docked, Locke led the officers to meet them.

A small merchant ship that was the first to enter the dock quickly dropped a rope, and the trader Zax was dropped from the ship.

"Hey! Friend! We meet again! Zax untied himself from the rope and walked over to Locke with a smile.

This time, the goblin's image has changed dramatically. He wears a pair of delicate crystal-made glasses on the bridge of his nose. He wore a neat tuxedo and held a cane in his hand. At the top of the cane, there is a large sparkling diamond.

"Thanks to you, friend! I'm a baron now! Strymwilder, Prince of Trade, has authorized me to manage all of his business in the Lordaeron region! Zacks, the goblin, said triumphantly, holding his hands behind his back.

For every piece of land owned by the Baron, the Prince of Trade, there will be a Baron who will act as an executive officer to manage the land and property. Locke vaguely remembered that this was the explanation of the baron in the goblin, and it seemed that this time Zax had won the appreciation of Strymwilder, the Prince of Trade, through this single trade.

"Congratulations, friend." Locke also looked at him with a smile, "I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

"Ah, Mr. Locke. I arrived at Booty Bay and conveyed your order to the person in charge of our place, however, we had nothing but grain there. The artisans, the druids, the engineers, all of these people need to be recruited by our goblin organizations everywhere, and I can't handle it for a while. ”

"Immediately afterward, I rushed to the hot sand port through another spatial ripping teleporter, and asked the Trade Prince Strymwhite to guide and help with this big business. There, the Prince of Trade recognized my merits, and he appreciated my efforts and promoted me to barony. And then because the amount of grain is so large, our merchant ships are not enough to load. ”

"At the behest of the Trade Prince Strymwilder, I borrowed the merchant fleet of Rivigaz, the wealthy man of Treasure Bay, and the Blackwater pirate fleet he secretly controlled to escort merchant ships."

"It took us 10 days to load all the grain onto the merchant ships. In the past ten days, all of our goblin organizations in Azeroth have been busy. We wiped out a large number of gnolll camps in the Elwyn Forest, the Wild West, and the Red Ridge Mountains in the Stormwind Kingdom, just to find the gnoll druid you want. We recruit homeless people in all human countries, and recruit all the artisans we can see. ”

"We also ventured into the kingdom of Kurtilas, where we recruited the naval officers and non-commissioned officers you need. Unfortunately, no one wants to follow us goblins. We tried it in Stormwind, and the retired officers didn't pay any attention to us. ”

"As for the war horses you need, we will transport them from the Kalimdor continent one after another. In Mogaolei, the Barrens, the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, and the Bleak Lands, we traded with the minotaurs and centaurs there, and bought a lot of horses, which are now kept in captivity in Ratchet City. Transporting these horses requires a special transport ship, otherwise they will die if they come here like this. ”

"As for the engineers in our goblins, we didn't recruit master-level engineers, only some intermediate and junior workers. The team of airship engineers, we recruited several. That's enough to put a few stations on your Lordaeron land. ”

"All of the above is based on a very tight schedule, and if there is a bit more time, give us a few months. Maybe these will happen slowly. ”

"About fighters and helicopters." Zax rubbed his hands together and looked at Locke with a smile, "Our group can make it for you and change it to a style that suits you humans, but we don't sell technology. We only sell finished products and crude oil, I don't know if you can accept it. ”

"Did you bring these engineering materials?" Locke didn't come back to his question head-on, and looked at him with a smile.

"Of course I bringed! As long as you agree. Our on-board flight engineers will be able to assemble it for you on site! Zax said with some excitement, "Of course, the price of a helicopter is 200 gold coins, and the price of a fighter jet is 500 gold coins, and crude oil is calculated separately. ”

"Let's unload first!" Locke smiled and said, "Unload all the grain first, and then we'll talk about anything else." ”

"What about the plane?" The goblin looked at Locke expectantly.

"Don't worry, what else do you have this time besides food?! You don't think you've got so many ships full of food, do you? Locke asked, pointing to nearly 300 ships of all sizes on the sea.

"Oh, no, there are only more than 100 ships of grain, and the rest are daily necessities." Zacks replied casually, "Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, all the things that can be used in daily life, each of which has several ships. In my opinion, you need to develop here, and these things must be very scarce, so I brought them, of course, the price must be slightly more expensive than the outside, otherwise these things will not be sold profitably. ”
