Chapter 372 The Fuse and the Anti-Cyrus Alliance

Pop——

The whiplash There was a loud bang above the slaves’ heads.

“Hurry up! Hurry up and carry all the silver to the boat. If the sailing time is delayed, I will rip your skin off!”

Marine soldier Gao Gao, the overseer Shouting and scolding, constantly urging them to speed up.

Because the construction time is too short, the island of Potosi III has not yet used animal power, let alone steam equipment. No matter how heavy the work is, it is the shoulders of the indigenous slaves. Hand resistance.

However.

Who cares?

A slave’s life is worthless anyway.

Evidently, whoever wins or loses in the “Silver War” over Potosi’s belonging, makes no essential difference to the original owners of these new continents.

Whoever gains control of Potosi has to travel to the continent to capture wild Atrians as slaves for the most dangerous mining jobs.

However, most of the slave team at this time are Atrians from the new continent, and some Anuma from the Southern Continent, but there are still quite a few white-skinned people from the old continent. Niemans.

Because these people are also slaves!

However, they are slightly better than the natives. Because of their status as indentured slaves, they don’t have to be slaves all their lives, but they can regain their freedom after a certain period of time.

Due to poverty, politics, religion, etc., the residents of the old continent came to the new continent to find a chance to live.

But because he was too poor to pay the travel expenses, he made a contract with the ship owner or employer to pay for the ship’s cost with four to seven years of unpaid labor.

And don’t think they are a small number compared to the native slaves, according to the scholars of the Phaletians stationed in the new continent.

At present, about 60% of all Niemans in the entire northern region of the new continent are such indentured slaves, or used to be indentured slaves!

Compared to the “stupid” Atrians or Anumas, these people have more or less technical skills, or have stronger learning and communication skills, and can take on the richest mining jobs. part of the technical content.

For example: silver ore is heated with salt and water, combined with mercury to form amalgam, and finally the mercury is evaporated to obtain silver.

However, compared with the native slaves who require high-intensity physical labor and who have been exhausted in just over a month after the facility is built, these Nimmensters are not much stronger.

If the protection is not in place, you may not necessarily die from chronic mercury poisoning.

At present, the No. 1 and No. 2 mines belonging to Cyrus, and the No. 3 mine belonging to the Three Kingdoms, mining and refining facilities have all been built.

Under full mining, the total daily output of the silver mine is about 660kg.

However, although the reserves of Island No. 3 account for only 1/4/2022, the actual production can account for nearly half of the total production, which is about 320 kg.

Because of the low reserves, it does not mean that the mining speed is slow. The manpower and material resources behind the three countries have been mobilized, even exceeding the investment of Cyrus on a single mine.

Obviously, the senior leaders of various countries, who have felt that the current rumors are not right, are eager to complete the mining of their due parts as soon as possible, and also to stay away from Cyrus, the domineering evil neighbor, as soon as possible.

But even with full support, it may take at least several decades to go down the silver mountain’s timescale.

After more than a month of reserves, there are currently 12,000 kg of silver reserves on the third island. According to the agreement between the three countries, each company has 4,000 kg, which is a full four tons of silver.

In order to avoid long nights, the Chief-In-Charge stationed here has decided to transport this batch of refined silver ingots back to their respective base camps in the colonies as soon as possible.

And there is a stipulation that when the total amount of silver ingots accumulated reaches 12,000 kg, there will be a clearing, staying with the notorious Cyrus, and several Chief-In-Charges are also feeling the pressure great.

dong! dong! dong!

At the urging of the supervisors, a group of slaves transported one hundred and twenty heavy wooden boxes to the three cruise ships docked at the dock. on the ship.

There are three other warships escorting them.

Although it does not have the ability to open a channel like the “Guardian Commander”, it has been long enough for them to explore a safe deep-water channel in the reefs outside the archipelago, allowing large warships to enter the port.

The four-ton load of trifling is not much different from a feather for a cruise ship, and it can transport the silver back to its own territory at the fastest speed.

And the armistice agreement of the four countries has been signed and has been justified by their respective churches. At least at this point, there is no need to worry that Cyrus will go back on one’s word and send warships to intercept.

In a few moments.

“Pull anchor! Set sail!”

The captains of the cruise ships on the mission issued orders one after another, and a total of six battleships sailed out of the temporary port on the third island.

Sark went west with Atlan, while Phaletis went south. Each country’s silver fleet has one battleship for transportation and one for escort.

Even ordinary big pirates wouldn’t dare to attack them, but under normal circumstances it’s enough to be foolproof.

But

It was only six hours and less than 100 kilometers away from the Potosi Islands, and the warships of the three countries were already in trouble.

“The crown, the skeleton, and the blood-dropping machete are the subordinates of Bradley, one of the two kings of the golden sea!

A schooner faster than us!

Send the signal to back away!”

Captain Phletis, who was in charge of the silver delivery, also wanted to signal his identity with a semaphore , let them retreat.

“Stand up, pick up the ship, and grab the boat!”

A group of nimble schooners ignored it, already like a pack of wolves, without the slightest hesitation toward the two. The battleship with silver stored in the battleship was culled in the past.

They obviously knew everything about the transport fleet.

And what happened to the four warships of Sark and Atlan was even more desperate.

“That’s the flagship of the ‘Oathbreaker’ Bradley’s Chisel!!!”

Facing the personal looting of a pinnacle Great Knight, four The officers and soldiers on the warship turned ashen in an instant.

“Hahaha! Hand over the silver, and I won’t kill you!”

The giant over two and a half meters tall stood on the bow, and the sound of thunder echoed on the sea for a long time. .

Although the previous attacks by the pirates did not have an immediate effect on the war situation, even many pirate ships that followed Bradley’s call to attack the colonies of Sark and Atlan were disappeared on the way. without a trace.

This also made Bradley feel disgraced.

But now Cyrus is still willing to give them a chance.

As long as there is enough political donations, the previous promises are still valid!

So robbery at sea, who is not robbery?

Now Cyrus is facing a huge military budget deficit. In order to prevent the mutiny of the bottom soldiers who live on military pay, every Silver Coin is extremely valuable to Cyrus.

The ready-made Potosi silver mine of course re-entered their field of vision immediately. While appeasing the lower-level soldiers who were emotionally fluctuated because the military salaries were delayed, they speeded up their plans.

Although the right to mine silver mine has been unable to openly repent because of the fairness of the gods, but the output can be won 100% by Bradley’s hands, and this extremely easy to mine silver mine can be realized as soon as possible!

As for whether to continue this kind of looting after getting enough military spending, hehe

breath-breath-

Alwin holds a The wooden long sword used for handle training uses the most basic Knight’s Breathing Technique, practicing “White Sail Sword Technique” one by one.

Transform your gains in Spirit World into physical memory, and then truly become part of your own strength.

Although the ability of reality can be reproduced in Spirit World, the same sword technique used with Soul Body and used with the body is always different.

Stabbed——

gradually, the surface of the unedged iron wood training sword in Alwin’s hand seems to have a thin layer of white mist, and it is faintly torn when it is gently waved. The screeching sound of the air.

Tread!

Alwin’s slightly closed eyes lit up.

Suddenly stepping, the force rises from the soles of the feet like a full-strength bow, integrating all the skeleton, fascia, and muscles in the body and suddenly stabs a sword.

呲——

In black’s sawdust fluttering, a waist-thick iron stake in front of Alwin has been pierced by his training sword.

The wound is smooth and not even a little rough.

This is an iron wood with the same material as the wooden sword in his hand, and its hardness is almost comparable to steel!

Even if it’s a Knight heavy armor, the ending won’t make any difference.

“Phew—”

Alwin slowly exhaled a white breath, his expression remained the same. Obviously, such a formidable power sword did not actually cost him much effort. .

At this time, under the concentrated attention completely and preparation, he has been able to use the powerful power like sword qi on his own.

It has reached the level when Colonel Knight Reynolds, the peak of Cyrus, who was sunk into the seabed, used to use the highest Profound Truth [Ritual Circle].

pa pa pa pa!

Besides a young man wearing a training suit and holding a wooden sword, he couldn’t help but clapped excitedly when he saw such a sword.

Calvin never expected that his teacher would be not only a magical wizard, but also a master whose sword technique has reached its peak.

In his opinion, whether it is necessary to prepare to use sword qi or not, this is already the ability of a sword technique Master Level.

If he didn’t want to look too much like a child, he almost jumped up.

‘Being under such an old sect, I really made a lot of money! ‘

“Calvin, you already have a certain foundation of sword technique before, and it shouldn’t be difficult to pick it up again after your body recovers.

Especially when the wizard is at the apprentice level. The battle strength is far inferior to a formal Knight. You can try to practice the sword technique after completing the study plan I made for you.

At least have the ability to protect yourself in the apprenticeship stage, work and rest The combination will not delay your witchcraft study.”

Alwin turned around and was about to point out his second disciple.

Suddenly.

Whoosh-

A tern descended from in the sky, bringing Alwin an expedited letter from Fort Dearborn, summon he went to ” Dearborn “pay respects to emergency meetings.

Don’t dare to waste time, just a few hours later, he saw Lieutenant General Gustav with a gloomy face and other high-level officers who also attended the meeting.

“Very bad news for everyone”

The first output of the Potosi silver mine encounters “Oathbreaker” Brad on the way After the attack of Li and his pirates, there was no news after the tern message was released in advance.

Not just Pharetis, but Sark and Atlan as well.

All countries with interests in the new continent, including even the Tulip member states, have been reporting losses of varying degrees, which have intensified over time.

Minerals, tobacco, furs, indigo, whale oil and even dried fish have a great appetite.

Both pirates and Cyrus’ regular army were attacked

Although everyone could afford to lose a month’s output, the occurrence of such an event revealed to them that A very bad signal.

Cyrus’s new continent policy has been further tightened, and he has put a noose around the necks of other countries, with a take-it-or-leave-it attitude barely disguised!

And the series of actions they made due to the destruction of the Treasure Fleet were like a fuse, which exploded the nervous nerves of all countries.

In just a few days, countries have reached a consensus.

“Cyrus must pay for his arrogance! Nations must counteract him too!”

While the perpetrators were complacent for large short-term gains , a comprehensive anti-Cyrus alliance has been quietly formed
