Although there are only four Gordon's battle ice golems due to the limited production of rare metals, there are a lot of ordinary ice golems, a total of twenty units.

Anyway, the ice elves will only be mischievous when they have nothing to do, or they will circle around Gordon and Brian and interfere with anything with their twitter. So it's better to mobilize these little guys and let them work overtime to make the zuò ice golem. And to mobilize the enthusiasm of these ice goblins, it is also easy, just a little temptation of delicious food.

Since the shaved ice, Gordon has also made ice cream. This soft, icy and sweet food is deeply loved by the ice fairies, and they have become completely addicted. In order to make enough zuò for Gordon to make them and have enough flavors of ice cream, the ice goblins can only work honestly for the mage.

Although the Ice Golem is heavy and sturdy, comparable to steel, Polar Ice is also a variant of ice, so its density is actually smaller than that of water, and it can float on the sea. Of course, a Battle Ice Golem reinforced with a Adamantite Skeleton and Mithril and Meteorite armor plates can't do that.

There were twenty ice golems in total, all of which were loaded with boulders and weights, and then went to sea. Under the control of the ice elves, they advanced along the seabed at a depth of about thirty meters, towards the pirate fleet anchored near the coastline. Once at their destination, throw the weight off their bodies and the Ice Golems will be able to float.

With its low temperature, the Ice Golem was able to use its properties to adhere to the hull of the ship and easily board the pirate ship.

The pirate flagship "Nagatsu Beauty" became the first target. Since the elite has already boarded 6, the pirates who remain on the ship are no match for the Ice Golem. Coupled with the fact that there was not the slightest psychological preparation for such an attack suddenly, the pirates did not organize even a little symbolic resistance.

The boatswain was seen broken in the ribs by the Ice Golem's punches. The internal organs were bleeding and he collapsed to the ground, and there was no sound, and the other pirates were so frightened that they didn't even have time to put down the lifeboat, so they all jumped into the sea to escape.

But it was too late.

Because things were born too suddenly. After the flagship Nagatsu Beauty was captured by the Ice Golem, the nearby pirate ships heard the noisy shouts of killing from the flagship, but no one could see what was going on. The fog that had been used to cover the pirate fleet's whereabouts was now an obstacle to the pirates from rescuing each other.

As a result, the twenty Ice Golems took advantage of the confusion that the enemy was still in time to react and adopted the tactic of jumping gangs. In order of tonnage, one pirate ship after another was snatched over.

The last two small pirate ships, weighing less than 300 tons, finally realized what had happened, and left their accomplices struggling for help in the water, rowed their strong pulp, and hoisted their sails. Ran away in a puff of smoke.

The Ice Golem doesn't know how to handle ships. They had to put the empty pirate ships on guard and wait for Gordon to send someone to pick them up.

Gordon now had 300 sailors under his command. All of them were incorporated from the city of Cloud Scales, the seafarers and fishermen who had lost their property to pirate raids. The last time he fought off pirates at the beach and saved Ji'er and Sigrid's group, Gordon captured a group of pirates. He had been asking the pirates to teach the sailors the art of naval combat for some time. Now it may not come in handy and fight tough battles, but at least it can skillfully operate a warship.

More than an hour after the battle at sea ended. Gordon descended from the sky using his flying skills and stood on the deck of the pirate flagship Nagatsu Beauty.

The ship was littered with pirate corpses and broken battle marks. When the ice golems standing quietly saw Gordon's arrival, they moved again, and some of them even made antics of jumping and dancing. Gordon knew that it was the ice goblins who were directing the Ice Golem in the underground room. These naughty little ones want to remind Gordon not to forget to treat them with good food.

"Okay, I know, I'll give you ice cream when I get back." Gordon waved his hand. He was afraid that these heavy ice golems would damage this former Imperial first-class warship.

This is the flagship of the Freeman family's navy in the future.

In a short time, dozens of small boats carrying Gordon's sailors also arrived in the area. Sailors began to board pirate ships to receive the loot, which was extremely easy to obtain.

Hernandez, pale, boarded the deck of the Long Summer Beauty. This middle-aged man, who is in charge of intelligence security within the territory, has exposed a weakness today: seasickness.

I just heard Gordon let himself go along. When he went to search the pirate ship, Hernandez looked embarrassed. When Gordon asked, he realized that this Arcane Shadow Thief, who usually looked quite aristocratic, could not withstand the bumps of the waves.

"Mr. Sheriff, this big ship. It should be a lot smoother than those little sampans. When we go back in a moment, you'll be able to relax a lot. ”

"Perhaps, my lord." Hernandez smiled wryly, "I want to start working as soon as possible, so that this hellish sea trip can be finished as soon as possible." ”

"Whatever you want." Gordon said, "I'm going to take a look at the ship myself, too." ”

Hernandez got busy with a few of his strange-looking subordinates. Obviously, today is also the first time they have seen a different side of their boss.

This time, Bellamy drove out his main pirate fleet, with a total displacement of 2,500 tons, four large pirate ships with a displacement of 1,000 tons, and ten small and medium-sized pirate ships of the class below 500 tons. With the exception of the two small pirate ships that escaped, all the other ships were captured by Gordon.

As a former first-class battleship of the Imperial Navy, the Changxia Beauty needed two hundred sailors just to drive this big guy. Moreover, the ship was capable of carrying a total of 700 people, including 500 people, and was originally designed to carry a team of five centurions, which was then commanded by a platinum centurion.

In this way, a fleet of 10 first-class warships would be able to transport an imperial ** regiment of 5,000 men to any coastal combat area anytime and anywhere to carry out 6 operations.

This is the Navy 6 Sentai of the world of Telos.

Of course, it is impossible for the pirates to have such a sufficient force of 6 battles, so when this Imperial first-class battleship was in Bellamy's hands, the space on the ship was wasted by a considerable amount of time.

The pirates who live on the Long Summer Beauty are only responsible for scrubbing the deck every day. The lowest pirates, who serve as cannon fodder in battle, can also be extravagantly assigned to their own private living rooms. And Bellamy often used the Long Summer Beauty as a transport ship, and the looted wealth and hostages were all loaded on this big ship.

For pirates who have been adrift at sea for a long time, it is 6 places. The boat is the real place to go. Bellamy truly made the Long Summer Beauty his home. The wealth he had accumulated over the years was also packed in the ballast at the bottom of the battleship.

In order to maintain the center of gravity, ordinary warships usually carry stones of sufficient weight in the lower compartments. Bellamy, on the other hand, replaced it with a heavier precious metal. Although it may have been a rather genius idea before, hiding one's wealth in places that others would not have thought of. But now, this property of more than 50,000 gold coins. and it was all in Gordon's pocket.

The wealth that Gordon brought from the north cost a lot during this time, and in just one month, it cost 20,000 gold coins. Of course, a large part of the credit goes to the smugglers who opened their mouths.

Although the territory is gradually on the right track. Taxation has even begun in various places. But now, those taxes are a drop in the bucket compared to the spending. So with Bellamy's large sum of money, Gordon's finances are also much easier.

While Hernandez took his men to count their fortunes, Gordon focused on the large warship.

During the days of the Magic Empire of Netherduran, naval battles were quite spectacular, with various large attacking magic devices battling each other. And those flying warships of the Magic Empire. In fact, they are all used both by air and sea.

However, by the Fourth Age, when the splendid magical civilization had been annihilated and dissipated, most forms of naval warfare had degenerated to a fairly primitive stage.

The heavy long-range weapons equipped on the battleship are generally trebuchets and heavy ballistas. However, the accuracy, range, and power of these weapons are more problematic, so naval battles often evolve into ramming and engaging battles in the later stages. Even most warships will have ramming angles installed in the bow.

There are exceptions, though.

A country like Ferreton, which is powerful and has relatively advanced magic technology, can also build advanced warships equipped with spinel magic cannons.

Today's Long Summer Beauty. The former Turbulence City, the Empire's first-class warship, was such a large ship equipped with the most cutting-edge magical technology.

With a displacement of 2,500 tons, the ship was more famous than the most famous first-class battleship of the era of sail battleships on Earth, and was armed with hundreds of cannons of the HMS Victory. The displacement is even larger.

And the reason why the Changxia Beauty, which does not have so many cannons, needs such a large volume, in addition to carrying five hundred 6 troops, there is another reason, which is because the ship needs a huge space to set up an energy storage magic array. This kind of magic circle can continuously absorb free raw energy from the surrounding space, and then store it - similar to the principle of solar panels.

Not only does the circle that absorbs energy require a lot of space, usually over 100 square meters, but the transparent crystals that store energy also take up a lot of space.

By design, the Tier 1 battleship was equipped with four Tier 7 Spinel Cannons - that is, a single shot with the same level of energy as the Seven Rings spell. And even these four magic cannons need such a huge hull to serve.

Of course, it's not just offensive firepower and spells on this big ship. According to the design, there are also auxiliary circles on board for temporary refueling and small area flexible steering.

However, when it was snatched by pirates, the Changxia Beauty was still a half-finished product. All the magic-related devices on the ship, before the Royal Mage Academy sent someone to install it, the battleship disappeared from the sequence of the Imperial Navy.

And the pirates, apparently, did not have the ability to fully restore all the functions of this battleship. Whether it's the previous Able. Aldrich, or later Barlomew. Bellamy's just regarded the Long Summer Beauty as a bigger and more powerful pirate ship. Even Bellamy added a giant ramming angle to the bow of the battleship.

God knows if that guy eats human flesh and eats his brain bad. How can such a large warship, with a displacement of more than 2,000 tons, a turning radius too large, and very inflexible, ram those small ships that are several orders of magnitude smaller than itself?

Now, the pirates who have destroyed the heavens. The entire third deck of the battleship, which was used to set up the energy storage circle, has been converted into living spaces with compartments. And the four gun emplacements that were originally used to install the magic spinel cannon were actually used by these fools to raise chickens!

Although fresh eggs and chicken were essential luxuries during a long voyage, Gordon could not bear it.

He decided to drive the battleship back. Immediately carry out a major interior renovation to restore the previous style. Gordon may not have the ability to re-equip the ship with expensive spinel cannons, but he could have other ways to equip it with powerful ranged attack firepower.

When the thirteen warships that took off the pirate skull flag and replaced it with the Freeman family crest arrived at the port of Cloudscale, the entire territory. It's all boiling.

Civilians flocked to the docks to watch as these pirate ships, which had been turned into the Freeman family's naval property.

In particular, the Long Summer Beauty has received the most attention.

Hear that Gordon not only dealt with Bellamy, but also wiped out the many smugglers who had wiped out the pirate's warship. I also came to the port for the first time.

They didn't believe in the fantastical good news. But when the huge figure of the Changxia Beauty really appeared on the sea level, it had to be convinced.

Especially Usherman. As soon as Gordon stepped down from the battleship, he immediately put a flattering smile on his face and greeted him: "My lord, this terrible giant ship, is it Bellamy's flagship, the Long Summer Beauty?" ”

"Don't you see the row on the side of the ship?" Gordon looked back and pointed, "Let's take a few more looks." Tomorrow, the battleship will be renamed Rob. The Antelo. ”

Although the name "Long Summer Beauty" is good, it was taken by pirates after all, and Gordon is not ready to use it again. And he had nothing to do with the Imperial Navy, and was not prepared to reinstate the name "Turbulent City". So without thinking too much about it, Gordon decided to name it Rob. The Antelo, in honor of Lord Wand, who has the grace of knowing him.

Usherman didn't care how the ship was renamed, even if the lord changed it to the "Butt Butt". The smuggler, who was full of calculations, was now thinking about something else.

It starts at dawn today. Freeman's private army, patrolling the coast, caught a group of exhausted pirates. These are all pirates who jumped into the sea to survive in the process of the Ice Golem's seizure of the ship. Although many people drowned on the way to the shore, some ended up on the shore.

Utherman made a rough calculation, and now the sheriff captain under the command of Count Hyperven. In total, almost 300 pirates were captured. Uthman ran to inquire with the half-elf, and learned that Gordon was going to interrogate the pirate captives, and put them to death, and to serve them in servitude—well, according to the lord, it was called reformation through labor.

When Usherman heard the news, his heart immediately "chuckled". He knew that this move meant that the young but ambitious lord was ready to form his own navy and merchant fleet.

With the pirates captive, and the first down-and-out seamen and fishermen who took refuge in him, Gordon already had the foundation to build a navy. Later, with proper expansion and training, the Freeman family will be able to have a sizable fleet. Now I saw that Gordon had snatched the entire vulture pirate group almost unharmed. Usselman was more sure of what was in his mind.

In the newly built shipyard, the shipwrights from the King of Hyperven are at work in full swing, building square timbers into standard three-masted wide-body merchant ships of 800 tons.

Usselman thought it was a little strange how this lord only built merchant ships instead of escort ships. Now it dawned on me.

In this way, when the Freeman family has its own merchant fleet and navy, the originally closed sea lanes will also be opened. In the future, the lord would be free to trade with the Changxia Province and even the Wilfast region, without relying on his own group of smugglers.

Although it is a good thing that Bellamy was eliminated. But Usserman suddenly realized that his crisis had just arrived.

Glancing at his companions, who seemed to know nothing and were still smiling and talking to Gordon, Utherman sneered and did not speak.

When the crowd was about to disperse, Utherman found an opportunity to speak privately with Gordon.

"Your Excellency, from today onwards, all the qiē goods I offer you will be sold at eighty percent of the market price, how about it? And I can also voluntarily pay transaction tax. You know, I'm a law-abiding citizen who is willing to do all the things I have to do as a citizen. ”

"Really?" Gordon looked at Usherman as if he had heard something new, as if he wanted to tear off the mask of sincerity from the other party's face, revealing the cunning hidden behind.

"Mr. Usselman, you are the first of the other merchants to make these requests. You seem to be a smart person. Gordon first complimented him, but he didn't immediately agree to the other party, "I remember your request, and we can discuss it slowly in the future." ”

Gordon shook his head in his heart: although this smuggler was clever, he had overlooked a very important matter. As lord of the Haiwen Peninsula, he would not allow the illegal trade of these smuggling merchants to continue.
