Chapter 372

Pa -

the whipping flower made a loud explosion on the slaves' heads.

"Come on! Take all the silver to the ship as soon as possible, and if the sailing time is delayed, I'll take your skin off! "

As a supervisor, the navy soldiers yelled and scolded, constantly urging them to speed up.

Because the construction time is too short, the animal power, let alone the steam equipment, has not been used on Potosi No.3 island for the time being. At present, no matter how heavy the work is, it is the burden of the aboriginal slaves.

However.

Who cares?

Anyway, the life of a slave is worthless.

Obviously, no matter who wins or loses in the "silver war" concerning Potosi's ownership, there is no essential difference for the original owners of these new continents.

No matter who gained control of Potosi, it was necessary to capture wild Atleans on the mainland as slaves and engage in the most dangerous mining work.

However, most of the slaves were Atleans from the new world, some were anuma people from the southern world, and some were white nimasts from the old world.

Because these people are also slaves!

However, they are slightly better than the aborigines because they are indentured slaves. Instead of being slaves all their lives, they can regain their freedom after a certain period of service.

Because of poverty, politics, religion and other reasons, the residents of the old world came to the new world to look for opportunities to live.

However, because he was too poor to pay the fare, he entered into a contract with the shipowner or his employer to compensate for the cost of the ship by four to seven years of unpaid service.

And don't think that they are a small number compared with the aboriginal slaves, according to the statistics of the scholars who were sent to the new world by faletis.

At present, about 60% of all the Niemans in the northern part of the new world are or used to be indentured slaves!

Compared with the "stupid" Atleans or anuma people, these people have more or less mastered a little technology, or have stronger learning and communication skills, and can undertake the most technical part of mining work.

For example, silver ore is heated together with salt and water, then combined with mercury to form amalgam, and finally evaporated to get silver.

However, compared with the aboriginal slaves who needed intensive manual labor and who had been exhausted in just over a month after the completion of the facilities, these nimasters were not much better.

If the protection is not in place, you may not die of chronic mercury poisoning at any time.

At present, the No. 1 and No. 2 mines belonging to xilius and the No. 3 mines belonging to the three countries have all been completed.

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

However, although the reserves of No. 3 island account for only a quarter of the total production, the actual production can account for nearly half of the total production, about 320 kg.

Because the reserves are low, it does not mean that the mining speed is slow. The human and material resources behind the three countries are mobilized, even exceeding the investment of hillius in a single mine.

Obviously, the high-level officials of various countries who feel that the current situation is somewhat wrong urgently want to finish mining their due part as soon as possible, and also get away from the hegemonic neighbor hillius as soon as possible.

But even with full support, it may take at least a few decades for the silver mountain to be mined out.

After more than one month's reserves, at present, there are 12000 kilograms of silver reserves on the No. 3 island. According to the agreement between the three countries, each has 4000 kilograms, which is a full four tons of silver.

In order to avoid a long night's dream, the heads of the countries stationed here have decided to transport this batch of refined silver ingots back to their respective bases in the colonies as soon as possible.

Moreover, as a rule, when the total amount of silver ingots accumulated reached 12000 kg, they would be transported once. When they stayed with the notorious hillius, they also felt great pressure.

Dong! Dong! Dong! ...

under the yelling and urging of the supervisors, a group of slaves transported 120 heavy wooden boxes to three cruisers at the dock.

There are also three other warships to escort.

Although they did not have the ability to open up a channel as the "Guard commander", such a long time has been enough for them to explore a safe deep-water channel in the reefs outside the islands, so that large warships can enter the port.

A mere four tons of weight is not much different from a feather for a cruiser, so it can transport the silver back to its territory as fast as possible.

Moreover, the armistice agreement of the four countries has been signed and the justice of their respective churches has been achieved. At least, there is no need to worry that hillius will turn back and send warships to intercept.

A moment later.

"Pull the anchor! Set sail

The captains of the cruise ships on the mission issued orders one after another, and a total of six warships sailed out of the temporary port of island 3.

Sark and Atlantis went west together, while faletis went south. Each country's silver fleet has one warship for transportation and one for escort.Even ordinary big pirates dare not make up their minds, which is enough to ensure that they are safe under normal circumstances.

But...

just six hours away from the Potosi islands, even less than 100 kilometers away, the warships of the three countries have been in trouble.

"The crown, the skeleton and the bloody machete are under Bradley, one of the two kings of the golden sea!

We have assembled five sloop schooners that are faster than us!

Signal them to move back! "

Captain faletis, who was responsible for transporting silver, also wanted to send out a flag to emphasize their identity, so that they could retreat in the face of difficulties.

"Up, on board, take the boat!"

A group of skilful sloops, like wolves, did not hesitate to fight against the silver warships in the two warships.

They obviously knew the transport fleet well.

The experience of the four warships of Sark and Atlan is even more desperate.

"That's Bradley's flagship" chisel tooth "!!"

In the face of a top Knight's personal plunder, the officers and men on the four warships instantly turned pale.

"Ha ha ha! Give me the silver and I won't kill you! "

The giant, more than two and a half meters tall, stood in the bow of the ship, and the sound of thunder reverberated on the sea for a long time.

Although the previous attacks by pirates did not have an immediate effect on the war situation, many pirates who followed Bradley's call to attack the colonies of Sark and Atlantis disappeared on the way.

It also made Bradley lose face.

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

As long as there are enough political contributions, the previous promise is still valid!

So... Plunder at sea, plunder who is not plunder?

Now hillius is facing a huge deficit in military expenditure. In order to prevent the mutiny of the soldiers at the bottom who live on military salaries, every silver coin is extremely valuable to hillius.

The ready-made Potosi silver mine, of course, came back into their view at the first time. On the one hand, it appeased the low-level soldiers whose mood was fluctuating because of the delayed payment, and on the other hand, it accelerated its action to plan.

Although the property right of the silver mine can't be repudiated openly because of the divine justice, the output can be taken 100% by Bradley's hand, and the silver mine which is very easy to mine can be realized as soon as possible!

As for whether or not to continue this kind of plunder after collecting enough military expenditure, hehe...

...

Hoo - Hoo -

Ivan is holding a wooden long sword for training, using the most basic Knight breathing method, practicing "white sail sword" in one move.

Turn the harvest in the spirit world into physical memory, and then really become a part of your own strength.

Although it is said that the ability of reality can be re engraved in the spirit world, the same swordsmanship is different between using soul body and body.

Stabbing -

gradually, there seems to be a thin layer of white fog on the surface of the uncut iron wood training sword in Elvin's hand. Gently waving it, there is a tinnitus that tears the air.

Step on it!

Evan's eyes brightened.

Suddenly step, force from the sole of the foot, like a full stretch of the arch, integration of all the bones, fascia, muscle strength in the body, suddenly stab a sword.

Yi -

in the black sawdust, a waist thick iron stake in front of Elvin has been pierced by his training sword.

The wound is smooth, even without a little rough.

This is the same material as the wooden sword in his hand, and its hardness is almost comparable to that of steel!

Even if there is a pair of Knights' heavy armor, the ending will not be the same.

"Hoo -"

Ivan slowly exhaled a white breath, and his face did not change at all. It was obvious that such a powerful sword did not cost him much effort.

At this time, with full concentration and sufficient preparation, he has been able to use the powerful force like sword Qi.

It has reached the level that Captain Reynolds ban, the top Knight of hillius, who had been sunk to the bottom of the sea, once used the highest upanism.

Pa Pa Pa!

Next to him, a young man in a training suit, also holding a wooden sword, could not help but clap his hands when he saw such a sword.

Calvin never expected that his teacher was not only a magic wizard, but also a master of swordsmanship.

In his opinion, whether it is necessary to be prepared to use sword Qi or not, it is already the ability of a master swordsman.

If he didn't want to look like a child, he would have jumped up.

"I really made a lot of money by joining such a teacher!"

"Calvin, you've already got a certain foundation of swordsmanship. Now it's not difficult to pick it up again after you recover.In particular, the combat effectiveness of a wizard at the apprentice level is far less than that of a regular knight. You can try to practice fencing at the same time after completing the learning plan I made for you.

At least you can have the ability to protect yourself in the apprenticeship stage, and the combination of work and rest will not delay your study of witchcraft. "

Ivan turned back and was about to point out his second disciple.

All of a sudden.

Whoosh -

a tern falls from the sky and brings Elvin an urgent letter from Dearborn castle, calling him to attend the emergency meeting at Dearborn castle.

After not daring to delay for a few hours, he met lieutenant general Gustav, who had a gloomy face, and other senior officers who were also present at the meeting.

"There is a very bad news to tell you..."

the first output of Potosi silver mine was attacked by Bradley, the "swearing betrayer" and his pirates on the way of transportation. After the release of the terns in advance, there is no news.

It's not just faletis, it's Sark and Atlan.

Even tulip Member States, including all countries with interests in the new world, have been reporting losses to varying degrees, and it is getting worse.

The pirates and the army of hillius were involved...

although everyone could afford to lose the output in the first month, the occurrence of this incident gave them a very bad signal.

The new world policy of hillius has been further tightened, which has trapped the rope around the neck of other countries, and his attitude of taking everything he wants is hardly covered up!

A series of actions made by hillius as a result of the collapse of the treasure fleet, like a fuse, burst the nervous nerves of all countries.

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

"Hillius must pay for his arrogance! Countries must also counter it! "

At a time when the perpetrators are complacent about obtaining a large amount of short-term benefits, a comprehensive anti hillius alliance has been quietly formed...
