Novel Star Chapter 396 Transportation Cut Off
Chapter 396 Transportation Cut Off
"Be prepared, we will reach the top of Reversing Mountain, and then we will be in the stage of rapid descent. Be prepared, I don't care if we fall."
Theodore yelled at his men while tying a rope around his waist.
He is a captain in the North Sea, and he owns a newest transport ship purchased from the Pirates of Ten Thousand Realms.
Relying on this newly bought transport ship, he specializes in transporting goods, commodities between various countries.
Because the transport ships of the Wanjie Pirates do not rely on sails to drive, but burn coal.
Coal is used to heat fresh water and drive the turbines of the ships, so his transport ships are less affected by the weather.
And the speed is faster than ordinary ships.
As long as the weather is right, he can go to sea to transport goods.
Moreover, his transport ship is still made of steel, and its storage space is larger than that of previous ships.
Although he spent a lot of money to buy this ship three years ago, after getting this ship, the transport ship was far faster than other ships.
He specializes in transporting some fresh fruits and vegetables to and from different islands, earning a high profit.
So it only took him two years to recover the cost.
Theodore plans to buy a transport ship for the Pirates of Myriad Realms after saving enough money next year.
Although the world government also launched a new transport ship not long ago, the price is high, and it is not something that a small character like him can buy.
As for why he came to the Great Route from the North Sea this time, it was because he had received an order for the transportation of materials from the World Government.
Transport a ship of gunpowder from the North Sea to Mary Gioia.
It is used to support the war between the World Government and the Pirates of the World.
This is not the first time he has transported supplies to Marie Gioia.
Watch as your transport ship reaches the top of Upside Down Mountain and begins its rapid descent.
The people on board were all crew members who had run with him several times, so there was no shouting.
Everyone silently grasped the rails on the side of the boat to prevent themselves from accidentally falling off the boat.
"boom!"
The bow of Theodore's transport ship kicked up a large swath of water.
"call……"
Theodore let out a long breath.
Although he has passed by Upside Down Mountain many times, Theodore feels his heart beating wildly every time he passes by.
I am afraid that something will happen to my ship.
Fortunately, there was no danger this time.
"Look, captain, what is that?"
At this time, someone pointed to the distance and shouted.
Theodore untied the rope tied around his waist, glanced at the shouting crewman, and said, "That whale is nothing to be surprised about!"
Theodore thought it was his crew that had seen the whale that so often frequented Twin Point.
For most people who have not been on the great voyage, that whale can indeed scare many people.
But for Theodore, the whale was not surprising. After all, he had seen sea kings bigger than the whale in the place of the great route.
But for those sailors on the great voyage for the first time, the whale was compelling enough.
This is not surprising, after all, is there little knowledge?
"No, captain, it's not a whale, it's a large group of warships, and they surrounded us."
"What? Battleship?"
Upon hearing what his subordinates said, Theodore quickly looked over.
Sure enough, he saw a fleet arrayed in an arc ahead. The huge battleship was larger than his transport ship. Theodore estimated that his transport ship must have sunk when the two ships collided.
And the huge black muzzle on the battleship makes people shudder just looking at it.
I am afraid that with just one shot, you can sink your own transport ship.
More importantly, Theodore saw the flag flying on the battleship, representing the pirate flag of the Ten Thousand Realms Pirates.
At this time, a loudspeaker shouted from the lighthouse on the side.
"Listen, people on board, we belong to the Pirates of Myriad Worlds, go to accept the inspection immediately, if you don't execute it, we will sink your ship."
"Please cooperate!"
……
"Captain, what should we do, should we do what the other party says?"
Facing the problem of his subordinates, Theodore looked at the cannons lined up on both sides of the strait, completely sealing off the entire sea.
And in the distance, the battleship of the Pirates of the Ten Thousand Worlds has aimed its muzzle at them.
Theodore said: "Tell everyone, put away your weapons, we obey the orders of the Pirates of Ten Thousand Realms."
Theodore didn't want to resist. He only had one transport ship under his command, and the crew were just ordinary people with a bit of style.
It may be no problem to deal with some ordinary pirates, but in the face of the giant ship cannon of the Wanjie Pirates, don't even think about it.
Besides, what they transported on the ship was gunpowder. Just a little spark was enough to blow up the whole ship into the sky.
Then Theodore drove the ship aside, and then a group of members of the Myriad Realms Pirates boarded Theodore's ship.
"Where did you come from?"
"North Sea!"
"What's on the ship?"
"gunpowder!"
"how many?"
"560 tons."
"Destination of transport."
"Mary Gioia!"
Regarding the question of the Pirates of the Thousand Realms, Theodore did not hide anything, and answered all of them honestly.
Theodore knew very well that since the Pirates of Myriad Realms had occupied Mount Upside Down, they must control the supplies flowing to Mary Gioia.
And now that they are under the control of the Wanjie Pirates, instead of hiding something and being found out by the other party, it is better for them to explain clearly honestly, which is the best for them.
"Next, we need to inform you that because these materials are war materials transported to Marie Gioia, we, the Ten Thousand Realms Pirates, do not allow you to proceed."
"However, our Myriad Realms Pirates bought the gunpowder on your ship at a bid, and the price is based on the market price. In addition, our Myriad Realms Pirates will give you an additional sum of money worth 200 million Baileys as your transportation expenses."
"Really?"
After hearing the conditions offered by the Pirates of Ten Thousand Worlds, Theodore asked with wide-eyed eyes.
Originally, he thought that the Wanjie Pirates would confiscate the gunpowder on board.
In this way, the money he paid for buying gunpowder this time is in vain. You must know that 560 tons of gunpowder is not a small sum.
He is ready to lose all the money he has earned in the past few years.
But I didn't expect that not only did I not have to worry about losing money, but I could also get an extra income.
200 million Baileys is not bad for him, after all, he is just a small transporter who owns a boat.
"Of course it's true. We, the Pirates of Myriad Realms, won't be greedy for your petty gains. Let's go to Whiskey Peak to unload!"
"Good Le!"
Theodore turned around and shouted to his subordinates: "Our goods were bought by the Pirates of Ten Thousand Worlds, we will go to Whiskey Peak to unload the goods, and we will return to the North Sea after unloading!"
"Oh……"
When the crew on the ship heard this, they all cheered.
It was safer for them to go only to Whiskey Peak than to Mary Gioia.
After all, there is still a long way to go from here to Marie Gioia.
This road is full of dangers.
Bad weather, terrifying sea kings, and pirates who don't know when they will appear.
These are all unstable factors.
And any of them has the ability to make them disappear.
So they'd rather go to Whiskey Peak than Marie Gioia.
After all, the chance of an accident is lower than going to Marie Gioia.
Besides, who wouldn't want to go home early.
As for the supplies that were going to be shipped to Marie Gioia?
Anyway, the Wanjie Pirates have already paid for it, so whoever they sell is not selling.
