Chapter 323 Bait
"The Linland family really spent a lot of money. Bronze wood is the main material for druids' armor and weapons!"
As a kind of wood, bronze wood is very hard. With a little polishing, it can even be used as a sharp weapon.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that it is very popular among the elves and druids.
It is a bit extravagant to build a warship with it.
Sitting on the side, Nia looked at the warship in the distance and sighed:
"The Linland family really has a lot of money to burn. It might as well promote ironclad ships like Andel."
"Don't say that. This ship will be ours soon. It's extravagant!"
Hearing what Carl and Nia said, Hope smiled and persuaded.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Soon, the construct arrived near the warship.
Using the construct, Carl directly moved various weapons, equipment and materials into the bronze-wood warship.
This operation made the Linland family jealous. If there were no more important things now, they might have pulled Carl to discuss cooperation.
The shipping industry naturally has its own engineering equipment, but the structure made by Carl far exceeds them in performance and convenience.
If we must make an analogy, then the Linland family's own engineering machinery is the wheelbarrow made by America at a cost of tens of millions, and Carl's structure is a DJI drone.
"Okay, everything has been moved. When do we leave?"
After directing the structure to finish the work, Carl watched Hope and others clean up the house and asked the old captain who was accompanying them about the departure time.
Unexpectedly, before the other party answered, the sound of the sails being raised came from the deck outside.
The old captain, with obvious wrinkles on his face, made an apologetic expression to Carl and said, "Now."
"Uh, can't we wait? My sister wanted to see me off..."
Walking to the deck quickly, Carl turned his head and found that the ship had left the port. The few sailors on the ship were using ropes and pulleys to lift the anchor.
Behind him, the old captain's voice sounded:
"Sorry, Mr. Carl, but the family is really anxious. A wizard from the prophecy school has predicted a possible attack. We must intercept their attack before the other party opens the battlefield to Storm Bay."
Hearing this, Carl pointed to the few sailors on the deck and said, "You only expect these few people to stop the enemy?"
The old captain was embarrassed for a few seconds, and then explained, "The family's reinforcements have already rushed to Dalcat. We are actually the last to leave."
Hearing this, Carl nodded.
At this moment, a voice calling Carl suddenly came from the port in the distance.
Carl turned his head and found Lisanna standing at the port, waving her arms towards him.
This scene really made Carl feel a little melancholy about parting.
He shouted a few words to Lisanna as a farewell. Carl looked at Lisanna who turned and left the port, and felt a sense of "the child finally grew up".
Hope and others came to the deck when they heard the shouting, but they did not shout like Carl, but waved to Lisanna as a farewell.
In this way, the ship began to move along the coastline of Xen'drick.
The safety of this channel is still very guaranteed. Even if a hurricane hits, the captain can drive the warship to the coast for temporary shelter.
After a preliminary understanding of some basic common sense on the warship, Carl and his companions returned to their house to recuperate.
At the same time, at the other end of this channel, the Ruiyizhuoer Port, called Dalcart Port, also sent its own fleet to march towards Storm Bay.
The entire Dalcart Port is made of a kind of glittering crystal. It is called a port, but it is more like a fortress.
It didn't look like it had ever been through a battle, and the fleet of the Linland family mentioned by the old captain did not appear around Dalcat.
...
Unknowingly, Carl and his companions had been sailing for four days.
Long-distance sailing is very boring, but fortunately, there is Mitris, a spirit card player who passed the first round, in the team.
The four women gathered in the room to play cards all day, while Carl sat aside, thinking about the improvement plan of the Tianhelong aircraft.
'No, sitting here and daydreaming is still too lacking in basis, but I really have slept enough today, even if I use psychic power to force myself to sleep, I can't sleep anymore! I have to go out and get some fresh air! '
After watching the four women playing cards for several hours, Carl finally couldn't stand it anymore.
After saying something to the four people, he stood up and walked towards the deck.
The crew of this ship is quite simple. In addition to the Linland family members who are the captains, there are only seven sailors and a dwarf from the Sivis family.
The sailors stayed in the cabin for a long time and had almost no contact with the location of Carl's room.
The dwarf and the captain lived in the captain's room, supposedly to facilitate receiving news from the Dragon Mark Family at any time.
Carl didn't have much specific knowledge about this personnel configuration, but he always felt that the other party's personnel combination was not aimed at fighting.
With such a small number of people, they were not even enough to operate the cannon.
'Could it be that the Linland family wanted me to fight alone? Or when we arrive at Dalcat Port, will the pirates who obey the orders of the Linland family help? '
Looking at the sea in the distance, Karl's questions emerged one after another.
With the slightly fishy sea breeze blowing his hair, Karl took a few deep breaths and planned to go back to the room.
At this moment, the door to the captain's cabin was suddenly pushed open.
The wrinkled captain and the dwarf ran out of the captain's room, seemingly going to Karl's room to inform him of something.
The two of them were too eager and ignored Karl on the deck.
"Hey! I'm here, what happened?"
Seeing that the two of them were about to miss him, Karl quickly asked.
Startled by the sudden sound, the captain and the dwarf turned their heads and finally spotted Karl.
"Something is wrong! Dalkat has also sent a fleet! They are coming this way!"
When he saw Karl, the dwarf of the Sivis family didn't hide anything and told him the news he had just received.
His eager look stunned Karl, and he asked doubtfully: "Where is the Linland family's fleet? As long as they come back for reinforcements, even if we only have one ship, can't we..."
Just as he was about to continue speaking, Karl suddenly noticed that the captain lowered his head, as if he did not dare to look directly at him.
An idea suddenly exploded in Karl's mind.
"Those pirates plan to use us as bait? Are they going to attack each other's ports themselves?"
Having said this, Carl paused, and then an angry expression appeared on his face.
"No! This was planned! The Linland family had long planned to use this boat as bait! No wonder they sent a flashy bronze-wood warship over!"
Hearing Karl's words, the dwarf, who was already very panicked just now, was frightened. He had never heard of this when he got on the boat.
With a thought, Karl directly summoned the power armor, and then grabbed the old captain's neck.
"Tell me your plan! Otherwise, I will kill you here! Then turn around and go back! Storm Bay is not important enough to me to risk the lives of myself and my companions!"
