Chapter two hundred and seventy-two: natural disasters
Chu Cheng was eager to return to the Continent of Gods and arranged to create a fleet. After defeating the pirates, he ran away dozens of small boats and did not order to chase them. The big ship hit by the Thorns went up and took a look. There was nothing to gain except some gold coins. The ship was slowly entering the water and was directly abandoned.
Even if this boat is broken, tens of thousands of gold coins are worth it.
The entire pirate fleet lost the value of ships as much as hundreds of thousands of gold coins. The pirate fleet accumulated many years of wealth, but it was completely lost because of an eye-opening robbery.
Robbery does bring money quickly, but losing wealth and life is just an accident.
When Chucheng returned to Thorns, it happened to be autumn.
His territory was large and there were many mountains. There were many obstacles between the leaders and the town. The government officials sent to the leaders adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the leaders.
As for taxation, Chucheng, like other nobles, had a tax rate of 50%, plus labor.
But the labor service of the thorns is rich. If the people under the rule are hardworking, it means they don’t have to pay agricultural taxes. During the labor service, they will also be responsible for food and clothing and distribute work clothes.
So after Chu Cheng left, it was not long, and many refugees had joined the side of the Thorn Leader.
Chucheng looked down on the taxes, mainly to let the people participate in the construction work and tie people's hearts to the thorns. To the west of the thorns, all the land that can be cultivated has formed a village of primary scale.
The apprentices of the Magic Tower were sent out and handed over the design drawings to the craftsmen below, designed the size of the village based on the land carrying capacity and formulated strict legal constraints.
In other words, there is no illegal building in the Thorns.
After Chu Cheng returned home, he was in a good mood and held a dinner party in the castle. The banquet hall of the castle was not big, and Wang Luosheng and others even seemed a little cramped after sitting in. Because Chu Cheng usually doesn't live here and handed the castle to Reinhardt. The castle faces the sea, and the Thorn Leader is just an attack from the sea.
This place is not a fortress, it is just a place for garrisons.
If you want to attack the town, you must remove the castle. The castle is steep and no matter how few soldiers are stationed, it will take two or three thousand to defeat it. Among these two or three thousand people, the number of fourth-level professions cannot be less than three.
Three men held Reinhardt, and the rest of the soldiers attacked.
The problem is that there are magic towers in the distance, and the magician's attack distance is not far, but using magic towers can attack extremely long-rangely. This is a consensus. To attack the magic tower, you have to cross the castle first.
The small town in Chucheng is not large in area, but it has achieved mutual support and support.
It is not worth mentioning that it is powerful, but it is impossible to conquer tens of thousands of troops without dispatching them, one or two legends.
Unlike the previous gatherings, this time, Chu Xiang sat next to Chu Cheng, with no mask on his face and the armor style on his body completely changed.
"This is my real sister, Chu Xiang." Chu Cheng introduced to everyone.
"Ange?" Wang Luosheng looked at Chu Xiang in surprise. Three pairs of gray wings were hanging behind Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang's eyes were cold, and he glanced at Wang Luosheng and said, "Brother, this person is so rude."
"Where is it?" Wang Luosheng spread his hands.
Tiancao Cangyuan said beside him: "Let's apologize."
An Bai said: "They don't like angels very much. Your words are equivalent to swearing."
"Ah?" Wang Luosheng didn't expect An Bai to say this. Could it be that Goddess Dawn does not have an angel under his command?
"Luosheng, don't worry, anyway, there is no angel coming in my skills." An Bai explained to Wang Luosheng that Chu Cheng didn't feel tired now. An Bai is indeed a silly girl, and such a slight blasphemy shouldn't have been said by a priest.
But she said it, but she didn't see any reaction.
The profession of priests all comes from the favor of the gods. As long as your belief in the gods is shaken, then you are embarrassed, the gods will take away all the things they have given you.
This is interesting. An Bai is a true believer, not a crazy believer.
Her mind was pure and she didn't think that the gods would do to her if they said a few excessive words. Angels are angels and gods are gods. She saw this relationship more openly.
It was even more troublesome. An Bai would not tell the pope his secret, but would tell God when he was praying.
If Chu Cheng had not been a Sword Saint of Light, he would never have understood the relationship here. When he controlled the Knights of the Temple, the relationship between mortals, gods and the pope would no longer be a secret for him.
The Pope of the Temple of Dawn is really amazing. An Bai will do everything for himself in his territory, and even hide secrets for Chu City and will not tell the Pope. But there is no secret between her and the gods.
It is not easy for His Majesty the Pope to find such a person to tuck him around him.
But Chu Cheng didn't care. After seeing that Chu Xiang and everyone knew each other, he said, "The thorn leader will be given to Chu Xiang for management in the future. Next, I will expand my strength and form two knight orders, a standing army of two hundred people, a trading fleet of nine ships. Two noble adventure groups."
Wang Qinglong said: "Financially, there is insufficient."
"I have taken some benefit from the gods of the underworld. To build a kingdom of death for them, I can spend the money on myself first. I will select a large island within three to five years and start building it."
Wang Luosheng praised Chu Cheng's ability to commit suicide. He first collected the benefits of the gods and did his own things.
Then Chu Cheng spread out the chart on the table, pointed to the northern waters, pulled up slightly, and stopped for about 7,000 miles.
The sunset fell into the horizon and the lights in the castle were brightly lit.
The same is true for the small town of Thorn Territory. There are many adventurers here who will go deep into the mountains, hunt monsters, or go deep into the sea to find marine life.
There may not be any valuable things here in Thorn Corner, but with the town, Thorn Corner purchases various materials by itself, so adventurers do not have to take the materials to the south for sale, so the profit may be several times higher. The town has some signs of prosperity because of adventurers.
Of course, it is only at the level of bright lights and wine, and it is not enough to reach the level of luxury.
Or God blesses Chucheng. After Chucheng comes back, it has been winter. No news has been heard from the Holy Empire. Little Nicholas sent someone to send a batch of supplies, but the last batch of things that promised Chucheng, but no messenger followed him.
In other words, the Tang family will not attack the Principality of Maggie this year.
Wang Luosheng's team surveyed and surveyed the thorn leader, and then penetrated into the periphery, and Chucheng didn't care about them. The most important thing for Chucheng now is to build ships, build magic towers, and create undead.
When Wang Luosheng returned, Chu Cheng lent all three ships to him and prepared the goods brought from Shenzhou, so that Wang Luosheng could go south to sell them. Because of the documents of the Baron of Thorns, these three ships would not be in trouble. As long as they encountered pirates, Wang Luosheng had to deal with them himself.
Wang Luosheng really hired a group of men to go south along the coast to explore more information.
In the dock north of Chucheng Territory, his biochemical flagship has been completed.
Chucheng directly named this warship Tianshao and didn't mind anything like Koucai. The only plug-in of Tianshao is a pair of bone dragon horns at the head of the ship.
Chu Cheng was very satisfied. The biochemical warship could reach a length of nearly two hundred meters, while the Tianshao was only one hundred meters.
The power is three huge biochemical hearts that can swallow any energy body for transformation. However, the power of the biochemical warships to operate normally is the magic array on the keel bone. If you start a one-third of the magic array, you can sail at a speed of 70 miles. A biochemical heart can ensure a cruise of 100 miles per hour. If you open two hearts, you will be in a high-speed combat state, and reaching 140 miles per hour.
Gaia's best warship, which is a speed of seventy miles, cannot maintain its cruise state.
When the sailless warship is running, fin paddles will grow on both sides of the warship, and the entire ship has transparent pipes. When the magic power is running, it can be sprayed and propelled from both ends. In other words, this thing can be done in a reverse way, which means that the speed of reverse action is quite fast.
The main gun on the front deck is not gunpowder or magic, but a biochemical crystal cannon contributed by Amacao.
This thing has a strong power and a long range, so it can attack at thirty miles away. If there is three minutes of energy storage before the battle, six rapid shootings can be performed in the first thirty seconds. After thirty seconds, if one shot in fifteen seconds is considered a low-energy attack, and it will take thirty seconds to shoot out once.
There are twenty-four sub-cannons, of which eight are used to attack enemy ships, and sixteen are used for defense. They deal with flying creatures or destroy the enemy's long-range magic attacks, and long-range heavy weapon attacks.
The reason why it can be arranged in this way is that the bridge of the Tianshao was built according to the standards of the magic tower.
The bottom of the ship of Tianshao is also covered with magic circles, which can attack underwater. At the same time, Tianshao will also have six small underwater warships escort. These underwater warships are less than ten meters long, and they cannot guarantee their endurance without Tianshao. There is no way out. There are many particularly powerful existences among marine creatures. Once they encounter them, they have to rely on suicide attacks to get rid of them.
The Scourge is a hedgehog that can fight from any angle.
Because its function is to command other warships. Although other warships also have similar arrangements to magic towers, they only exist as nodes and do not need to consume too much energy.
With the Tianscopia, the fleet's exploration range can exceed 120 miles.
If combined with the combination of giant crows and corpse witches, the fleet can explore targets up to 800 miles away. However, maintaining such a large ship is not low and Chu Cheng does not control it himself, at least a fourth-level spellcaster must be placed in the bridge to make the ship alive.
Normally, you need no less than five mages to maintain, so the level doesn’t matter.
Chu Cheng was in the bridge, carefully experiencing the Scourge. For him, he didn't need any magician to control it. He arranged Chu Bai in the bridge, which was enough to command the battle.
