I am a god in another world
Chapter 350: Zalanda's Dilemma
"In Faerûn, not far from the Dragon Bay, the Watcher." Copperfield said excitedly, "That is a modified new three-masted warship, equipped with fifteen guns, Lan The newly developed bombardment cannon by the dwarfs of Tan Dao is an out-and-out naval warfare artifact.
If we can repair it, we dare not say anything else. We can walk sideways along the entire Asaba River, and the three hundred meters along the bank are within its bombardment range. "
"Dwarf bombardment? How did you get it? Isn't this not for sale by the dwarfs?" Gavin suddenly understood, and finally understood the real reason why the Watcher had been guarding the waters of Tethyr for more than ten years as a lone ship.
Emotions are equipped with artifacts that span the ages.
The dwarf bombardment cannon is an oversized dwarf hand cannon. The power of this alchemical artillery is between ordinary artillery and modern artillery.
The legend has been studied for hundreds of years.
However, it was forcibly blocked by those legendary powers because it might affect the entire world structure.
Ms. Storm, who had just established a friendly relationship with Gavin, was a direct participant. It was said that she had secretly guarded Lantan Island.
"Lord, have you ever heard of the dwarf bombardment cannon?" Copperfield was shocked. He thought it would be easier to deal with if he had heard about it. He was afraid that the other party had not heard about it and would not take it seriously. "We have assisted Lantan Island to defeat Nelan many times. The pirates of the Seer Islands established a friendly relationship, and the dwarf bombardment on the Watcher was donated by the dwarfs and installed by themselves. "
At the end, Copperfield couldn't help but sigh and said: "Anything that is not for sale will eventually become a commodity, and the dwarf bombardment is no exception. This kind of weapon is too sharp in naval battles.
The pirates of the Nelanser Islands have been spying on this for a long time. Not only did they attack Lantan Island many times, but they secretly sent out unknown spies. Although they could not directly steal the blueprints, they also stole several bombardment cannons and used them on their own. For imitation research and development, they had already come up with imitations when we were still in the Tethyr Sea.
Although the performance is more unstable and the power is smaller than that of the dwarves, with this foundation, the development speed will definitely be very fast.
Now, many ships there are already equipped with such bombardment guns, which is not impossible. "
"Theoretically, there is no problem in fishing out the Watcher and repairing it, but there are a few issues that need to be confirmed." Gavin sorted out his thoughts and said, "First of all, the Watcher is a sea-going ship, and its draft must be very deep. Are you sure that the Asaba River can accommodate it? At the very least, it must be able to pass through most areas and enter the Dragon Bay smoothly."
Copperfield took a deep breath, used his strong self-control to cool down his excited brain, thought about it carefully, and answered: "This question has not been investigated on the spot, so I cannot answer it, Lord, but there is one thing I can To be sure, the Watcher should be able to pass through most of the downstream areas when the Komanso rainy season arrives and the water in the Asaba River surges.
The only problem is Feather Falls, where the drop is nearly 200 meters. Even with the help of Master Broken Thorn and others, it will be difficult to send a behemoth like the Watcher down. "
"A simple waterfall is easy to handle. We can use the power of magic to solve this problem." Gavin then raised another question, "The Dragon Bay is so big, can you locate the location where the Watcher sank?"
"No problem." Copperfield took out a necklace from his chest.
It is said to be a necklace, but in fact, it is just a red rope tied with a huge key.
This key is simple in style and sparkling with gold. You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary thing.
Copperfield replied: "The Watch is a semi-magical ship. It has a magic drive device. This key is its activation key. The two are closely connected. Through it, the Watch can be easily located. Sunk Site."
It seems that Copperfield was fully prepared when the Watcher sank, and was ready to one day salvage his car from the Dragon Bay.
"Okay, I've made a note of this matter, and I will consider it seriously." Gavin nodded and said, "Even with the help of the manor, this is not a small matter. After all, we have to go deep into the seabed, so This is not an environment we are familiar with and we must be fully prepared.”
"Your lord has thought carefully, so I will leave the Watcher to you." Copperfield solemnly handed the golden key in his hand to Gavin, "I will give this activation key to your lord for safekeeping." ”
From now on, the meaning of this key begins to be different.
"No need." Gavin waved his hand and said, "Is it possible that the general wants to leave this matter completely to me? When the time comes to recover the Watcher, he will definitely need the general's assistance. Before that, the key still lies with him. Keep it first."
Copperfield couldn't help but laugh, hung the key back around his neck, and praised: "The lord's heart is unparalleled, and it is my villain's heart.
But now there is a new problem. Not to mention recovering all the ships in this ship graveyard, even one-fifth of them, we do not have enough sailors to drive them, even with Craigie who stayed behind. They could only barely get the three ships to move, far from being able to exert their maximum power. "
"So I need the general to come back to Tethyr with me another day." Gavin already had a clue.
He had already had this plan, but he didn't have Copperfield's.
This general who devoted himself to his country was too obsessed with Tethyr, and Gavin was afraid that he would return to Tethyr.
It will be affected by the local atmosphere, old illnesses will relapse, and I don’t want to go back to the valley with myself.
But now that he has the bond of restarting the Watcher, I believe that he will not leave until the battleship is lifted out and Copperfield is chased away.
"Go back to Tethyr? Does the lord want to recruit sailors from there?" Copperfield's eyes suddenly lit up.
This is a good idea.
The warlords of Tethyr have been fighting for many years, and the coastline has long been reduced to a place where pirates are rampant.
Seriously disrupted coastal commerce, fishing and other industries.
There were a large number of unemployed sailors, and some were even forced to join the ranks of pirates, further boosting the power of pirates.
Sailors themselves are a profession that requires them to be away from their homeland for a long time. As long as they have money, they don't care whether they go to other places.
As for Gavin's financial resources, Copperfield was not worried at all.
A person who just made millions, is he still short of money?
If it were in Tessel, with this wealth, it would be enough to arm an army of tens of thousands - the kind of regular army.
"Not just sailors, if possible, it would be best to recruit some refugees back. We will wait until we return to Tethyr to check the situation." Gavin is a little unsure about the situation in Tethyr now.
Because of his own reasons, Tessel's timeline has been disturbed.
Zalanda has risen ahead of schedule and is thriving there.
"Okay." Copperfield also fell into deep thought and calculation, thinking in his mind how many of his familiar acquaintances were trustworthy and included in his array.
Although it had only been less than a month, he had already fully recognized Gavin's abilities.
And accepted his concept of saving the country through curves. Compared with Tethyr, their constraints in the valley were much smaller.
They can do whatever they want and do whatever they want.
As long as you have the ability, you can use it to your heart's content.
Instead of being controlled and squeezed by the big nobles everywhere like in Tethyr.
It's not unimaginable, it's impossible, like a ghost wine that sells for millions at auction, and all of it goes into your own pocket.
Those aristocratic gentlemen who are exploiting people at all levels will take away 99%.
If you refuse, you won’t be able to keep the remaining one percent in your pocket.
Their army will arrive directly and take away not only all the gains but also the land that created your wealth.
As Gavin said before, if you want to change Tessel, you must completely change this upper structure.
This cannot be achieved without sufficient force.
And if you stay in Tethyr, you will have to face the barriers they have created intentionally or unintentionally.
Zalanda, who stayed in Tessel, felt this most deeply.
She has never been afraid of leading her troops to confront the monster races in the wilderness, because she only needs to lead her troops to charge forward, charge forward, and charge forward again, cutting down all the monsters still standing within sight. On the ground.
They would naturally collapse, surrender, or flee back to their homes in the Marching Mountains, the Vortex Mountains, or the Omlaran Mountains.
But unlike those noble men of Tethyr, they must constantly deal with and compromise, and dare not start a war lightly.
Because once the war begins, regardless of victory or defeat, it is the people of Tethyr who will suffer in the end.
Zalanda, dressed in military uniform, stood in front of the military sand table with a frown on his face.
The people of Tethyr only saw her glorious record of ten victories in ten battles.
But they didn't see the huge trouble it would cause.
Darauma is already overcrowded, and with the city wall as the center, there are even camps extending five kilometers outward. Once the enemy breaks through to Darauma, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, Zalanda had to lead his troops to attack and wipe out all the monster races that could pose a threat to Dalauma within a hundred kilometers.
With each new victory, more followers will be generated. Many people have been fed up with the harassment of monsters and the harsh oppression of local lords, and will choose to follow Zalanda back to Dalauma to settle down.
Overpopulation is also a worry.
Even more than the insufficient population.
Because of the insufficient population, the development speed will not increase at best.
Overpopulation means that many people cannot find jobs and their families will go hungry.
For a while, you can still rely on fanatical faith to support you.
Over time, this enthusiastic support can turn into angry curses and even resentment.
This is the situation Darauma is facing now.
boom! boom! boom!
There was a knock on the door like a bombardment from outside.
Zalanda's brows relaxed instantly, her expression was calm, and her whole body was filled with confidence, as if nothing in this world could trouble her.
Because she is no longer the guard captain of the Baron family half a year ago, but the acting city lord of Dalauma. One hundred thousand people follow her and entrust their wealth and life to her. She cannot betray this trust.
She deeply knows that her words and deeds will affect many people, and many emotions will be suspected and amplified by the people below, especially negative emotions.
Even if she already guessed who was outside the door, she couldn't help but put on the mask.
"come in."
Zalanda just finished speaking.
The door to the war conference room was pushed open with a bang.
A tall figure strode in, wearing heavy armor and holding a double-edged battle axe, which was still covered with a lot of dried blood. It was unclear whether it was his own or the enemy's. It was obvious that he had just come down from the battlefield.
When he stood next to Zalanda, his figure looked even taller.
Among humans, Zalanda was already tall. In front of her, he was like a halfling, only up to his chest, and his arms were thicker than Zalanda's thighs.
When the fully enclosed helmet was removed, it was not a bearded male face that was exposed, but a girl who looked like she had baby fat. Her facial features were very delicate, but she was two sizes older than a normal person, and her age was definitely no more than twenty.
The face and figure formed a strong contrast, perfectly interpreting a word - King Kong Barbie.
