Chapter 142: Cooperation
With that, Joyce led the army of griffons into the sky, and Xu Man mounted his royal griffin and waited for the light.
Da Liang knew that the dating plan he had prepared was completely ruined, so he walked up to Gu Tao, summoned the unicorn and placed it beside her, and chose to give it away. Then he said to Gu Tao, who was already dumbfounded: "I owe you a soldier from the first meeting, and I haven't fulfilled it from archers to griffins, so I'm really upset." This unicorn is my compensation for the failure of your mission, and the unicorn is fast, can run, fight, and provides magic resistance, which is perfect for your class. I can't accompany you now if I have a task.,Next time I have the opportunity, I'll accompany you to farm monsters and do tasks.γ β
Unicorn! Gu Tao, who was originally very satisfied with having a royal griffin, never thought that Da Liang would give him such a high-level class. I'm afraid that there are not many level 11 troops in the hands of gamers all over the world, right? Gu Tao hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I can't ask for it, it's too precious......"
Da Liang stopped Gu Tao, who was about to say something: "The unicorn is not large-scale in my hands, and I don't have it left." Since it is given to you, you will take it. Pushing back and forth delays my time, where is the admiral of the Pudong fleet waiting. β
Then Da Liangyou released a silver flying horse and gave it to Shu Xiao: "Don't just think about farming monsters and upgrading, manage the adjudication troops, choose the best 1,000 people, and practice according to your set." I have some missions to leave Shangjiang City for a few days, and if you behave well when you come back, I will give you a few more Silver Pegasus Knights. β
Shu Xiao was overjoyed, and hurriedly put the silver Pegasus into his military badge, for fear that Da Liang would regret going back again, and then immediately made a military salute and replied loudly: "Guarantee to complete the task!" β
After the explanation, Da Liang and Xu Man followed behind Joyce, and flew towards the Pudong fleet surrounded by the griffin army.
At this point, under Da Liang's introduction, Xu Man entered Joyce's eyes by virtue of the manpower and organization advantages shown in the loss prevention operation of the gravel camp.
Then under the turn of Daliang, Xu Man and Joyce, two strong women, reached a series of cooperation agreements. One of the most important is that Xu Man joined the Pudong Fleet, with the rank of sergeant major, and served as a mercenary liaison officer.
While Xu Man is on duty, she can introduce any player to join the temporary mercenaries of the Pudong fleet. Players who join the mercenary do not have any financial allowances, but they can take on private missions from the Pudong Fleet, gaining contributions, prestige, and intimacy with the Pudong Fleet. After reaching a certain level of intimacy, you can transfer to a regular soldier of the Pudong Fleet, and record your personal military merits, and then according to the amount of military merits, from boatswain, gun commander, and dhow captainγ...... First Officer of the Brig...... Level by level promotion.
The main mission of the mercenary player is to follow the battleships of the Pudong fleet out in the field, and assist the warships to win conflicts at sea as ordinary sailors. After all, players are all hero classes, and magic attacks, supports, and hand-to-hand combat can all be competent, which can greatly improve the combat ability of a single battleship.
This cooperation has given Xu Man a very broad prospect for the players, who are definitely only a very small number of people who serve as captains of the Pudong fleet, but Xu Man and Da Liang are interested in allowing their people to follow the Pudong fleet to learn sailing and naval combat experience on the spot.
The Great Voyage of the Age of Sails has disappeared from the world outside the game for centuries, and most of people's understanding of the navigation technology of that era comes from literature, movies, and everyone can say one set of theories, but when they actually operate, they will find that their theories are all bullshit.
Just like the naval battle that Da Liang experienced to intercept the troop transport fleet, he didn't dare to enter the central battlefield at all, for fear that after he rushed in, he would not be able to help but drag down the entire fleet. Those players who have not even touched a battleship will only be more unbearable, and how to learn to sail and learn to fight at sea is a problem that every player and group who intends to set foot in sailing must face.
Therefore, reaching this agreement at a time when the Pudong fleet is in urgent need of personnel is of great significance to the players of the Xu Man department of the University Alliance, who can follow the most professional navy to experience a naval confrontation from beginning to end. A close and on-the-spot observation of the battles between the Pudong Fleet and the Chongming Fleet at sea is enough to sort out a complete set of cases and materials for naval engagements, and to train a large number of personnel who are familiar with naval warfare and have experience in naval warfare.
It can be said that although in these cooperations, the university alliance Xu Man and his family did not receive financial rewards in it, and it was completely a subsidy to fight for the Pudong fleet, but as Da Liang said, the future of the university alliance is far more than the current temporary benefits.
Joyce also got what she wanted in this collaboration, and the Pudong fleet is now short of money and manpower, and now she can hire a large number of players to serve her without spending money. Adventurers on ships and in unimportant positions can greatly reduce the losses of their own soldiers, but their combat effectiveness is increased by the large number of heroic classes on board, and Joyce is only paying for the future.
Overall, both Joyce and Xu Man are very satisfied with the collaboration.
As the details of the cooperation were perfected through repeated discussions, Xu Man began to recruit a large number of players into the mercenaries of the Pudong fleet, and began to follow the battleship on sea missions.
And when all the ten dhows commissioned by Daliang to be built by the Pudong Military Port Shipyard were launched and handed in, Sidney's Black Fire Fleet also sailed into this port.
Ten dhows lined up on the docks of the shipyard, their brand-new hulls smelling of tung oil. A mainmast stood in the center of the ship, and on a single deck were placed ten guns. Due to space problems, the dhow does not have a separate captain's room, and the sailor's living environment is very cramped, staying on the dhow for a long time will make the sailor's morale drop very quickly, which is also an important factor why the dhow cannot be engaged in ocean voyages alone.
Da Liang, who had at least a fleet of three-masted and two-masted battleships, was dismissive of such small ships. But Xu Man, who had her own warships for the first time, was very happy to look at these warships, although they were so inconspicuous compared to the battleships of the nearby Pudong fleet, but the delivery of these warships meant that she officially stretched out her hand to the sea, making the University Alliance the first batch of player organizations to seize maritime resources.
The point is that it's too cheap to build these ships.
"Da Liang, I still have a few merchant ship drawings here, you can also help me build them."
The delivery of the ten dhow warships made Xu Man very satisfied, and then she took out a few drawings of the brig merchant ship and handed them to Da Liang.
As long as these merchant ships are in place, she can rely on these sloops to set up her own merchant fleet, although the ships hired by the Maritime Guild can carry more cargo, but a large part of the profits will be used to pay for the hiring of the ships. Hiring a large merchant ship is far less profitable than a merchant ship of its own brigs makes a maritime trip.
And there are warships, there are merchant ships do not necessarily have to be honest businessmen, on the way to meet a fat sheep to grab a deal but no capital, after all, there is a marine monitoring in hand, not to rob it is a waste.
