Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 183: A bumper harvest in forestry, a heavily-equipped cruiser!
The major functional areas on the Great Taiman Island, including the port area, warehouse area, residential area and farming area, are well organized and clearly divided.

Outsiders are mainly concentrated in the port area, and the maximum range of their activities is no more than the entire town.

Although their initial desire to take over the empty indigenous cities and invade the land of Yucatan Island was dashed.

But even if you just conduct normal trade with the natives of the island, you can still make a lot of money.

Especially at a time when the two overlords were declining, the East-West trade route was opened up, and the safety of merchant ships was guaranteed by the pioneer-led colonial trading company.

Not only did they not withdraw from this international port, but the Port of Georgetown became more prosperous as more and more people flocked to it.

And when the people are complex enough and the system is chaotic enough, some things that have been expected are bound to happen.

Tap tap tap.
A group of musketeers in red uniforms marched in formation across the border between developed areas and the mountain forests that had never been open to the outside world.

"We'll take a rest tomorrow, and let's go to the Nightingale Song tonight. It's my treat, and everyone can't leave until they're drunk."

"Captain is very generous. I'm afraid the living standard in Georgetown is not much worse than that in Port Royal and Jamestown."

"Indeed, I plan to apply for an internal loan from the Governor's Office to buy a house and settle down."

"Really? Congratulations, congratulations."

These are the fifty Marines who originally took office with [Royal Hound] Vincent.

After the former's spirit became the head of internal affairs, they also became part of the outer defense system.

As night fell, a group of lobster soldiers completed the handover with another team of on-duty personnel and were about to return to the town.

But Blair, a soldier walking at the end of the team, took advantage of his companions' inattention and suddenly crouched down and hid in the lush bushes everywhere.

He quickly took off his overly bright red and white military uniform, turned them over and put them back on.

A layer of dark blue canvas had been sewn onto the lining of the uniform in advance, and the soldier simply rolled on the ground and blended perfectly into the night.

Following the marks that had been made long ago, we ran all the way into the depths of the forest.

It was not until I came to an invisible barrier and found that no matter how I walked, I seemed to have lost my sense of direction and could not get in that I stopped.

"What kind of treasure is hidden in this restricted area? Is it worth it for those people to go to so much trouble to bribe me to be their accomplice?"

There are all kinds of strange treasures in the sea.

As a lord, he had no obligation to explain to anyone what secrets he hid and what means he used to set up a restricted area on the island.

But the title of "Mithril Dragon" of Countess Catherine of Greenville, which symbolizes wealth, is far more dazzling than the "Flower of the North" which represents her beauty.

Seeing International Port making a fortune day by day, it is only natural to be jealous and try to test it.

Especially some time ago, the Governor's Office purchased a batch of log processing equipment, but there was no sales, which immediately attracted the attention of some interested people.

“Miss Catherine, I don’t want to be a traitor, but they gave me too much.

It was enough for me to return to the kingdom during the monsoon, buy an estate, and live the good life of a wealthy man for the rest of my life.

I can only say sorry. "

Soldier Blair looked around to see if there was anyone around, then he put a small light golden mouse from his waist bag on the ground.

This is an extremely precious supernatural creature, the gold digging rat, which can instinctively bypass various mechanisms and magic arrays to find the most valuable treasures nearby.

He is also the dream contract object of professions such as [Treasure Hunter] and [Beast Tamer].

Unfortunately, they haven't taken action yet.

Two pale ghosts quietly appeared behind Blair.

When he felt a chill on his spine and subconsciously turned his head to look back.

As soon as the shadows of the two [Undead Servants] were reflected in his eyes, he was possessed in an instant.

The bodies of the man and the mouse suddenly stiffened.

Then the woods parted on their own, and Catherine and Byron, wearing aqua dresses and high heels, came in hand in hand. They walked through the woods as if they were walking in their own living room.

The traitor soldier Blair's face immediately turned pale, realizing that he had been exposed without knowing when.

He couldn't move his body, so he could only beg for mercy:

"Miss Catherine, Your Excellency the Governor, please spare me. I have a wife and children in the Old World, and they are threatening my wife and children's lives.

I was forced to do it.”

Catherine and Byron didn't even look at him.

“Loyalty is indeed a variable. It was still at the passing line one day, but suddenly fell below the warning line the next day.

The most crucial thing is that there are many international Hong Kong people and they are under the spotlight of the entire Bantaan Islands. No matter how secretive something is, it may be exposed.

After the forestry harvest, we will consider divesting our production base and port business.”

He casually threw an axe in front of Blair and waved at him:

"It just so happens that we don't have enough woodcutters. You can go and work too."

The invisible barrier that originally blocked others from entering disappeared, and the three of them entered the forest farm smoothly.

In front of me, a group of people with ghost-like eyes were working hard to cut down trees. They were all intelligence personnel from various forces who had committed crimes in the port.

In the kingdom of the Taiman Islands, which is covered by the Golden Law system, the emperor has the highest authority and can customize laws at will.

Among all criminals, the one with the most serious crimes will usually be directly transformed into [Transmutation Blood].

Those who have committed common crimes will come here and become laborers controlled by [Undead Servant], responsible for taking care of the spice trees and teak in the mountains.

At this time, three full months had passed since the spice trees and teak seedlings were planted.

With the combined effect of two dedicated farming relics: Crystal Skull No. 3 and the Golden Toilet, they have all grown up.

There is a thin layer of dark soil under my feet, and it seems like you can squeeze out oil from it.

All five hundred spice trees were drilled, burned, and infected with true red oil fungus to stimulate the trees to secrete oil and combine it with the wood.

It has been accelerated to become a real spice.

Byron scraped the blade lightly with the dagger, leaving a layer of golden powder on the blade, which flickered with fluorescence in the moonlight, shining brighter than gold.

In this state, there is no aroma of spices, only a light oily woody smell.

This shows that the medicinal properties of the aromatic medicine are restrained and of extremely high quality.

“Sure enough, agricultural knowledge is the correct way to open Crystal Skull No. 3.

In just three months, the quality of the spices has surpassed the top-quality goods produced by the pioneers on Taiman Brak Island through blood sacrifice.

Spices of this quality can even be used to supply the promotion needs of mid- and high-sequence transcendents.

In addition to using it yourself, you can also use it to bribe the high-ranking officials of the kingdom. It is guaranteed to be effective every time you use it. It is more popular than any other treasure."

At the heart of the fight for the Spice Islands is spice, a precious substance that represents the source of extraordinary power.

Rapidly improve spirituality; strengthen the perception of the [Navigator]; serve as auxiliary fuel for the lighthouse to illuminate the spiritual world and protect the colony from weird attacks
Spices are necessities for overseas colonization and hard currency!

Catherine also pinched a little on her white and tender fingertips. As the spiritual flame burned, she couldn't help but reveal an intoxicated look on her face:

“Unfortunately, plans are not as fast as changes, and we originally thought that the local residents would have very limited development of the island.

When these spices and teak grow up, it will be completely reasonable for us to say that we discovered them by chance while exploring the island.

But now the island is full of smart people, and these guys won’t believe our nonsense, so we really need to move as soon as possible.

They are not good at farming, but they are experts at plundering."

"really."

Byron also agreed with this.

Due to different national characteristics, the mainstream of the countries in the Old World was to rob when they were strong and to trade when they were weak.

Rarely take the initiative to do production work.

This is just like what Byron could never understand, why in the disaster stories he had read before, the protagonists always had to run around to collect supplies.

Shouldn’t the correct way to deal with the apocalypse at this time be to find a good place to farm, start farming in peace, restore production order, and climb the technology tree again?

They just don't want to, just give it to you.

Fortunately, Byron Lancaster, who now has the blood of the Bay Area people, has the characteristics of both civilizations. He knows how to farm and also knows how to take things from others.

Grab it with both hands, both hands must be hard!
Steal money, steal spices, steal people, farm, smelt iron, trade... and then repeat the cycle.

"Clean up all the teak and load it onto the ship later."

Today, the Vanguard Colonial Trading Company is rapidly expanding in terms of its fleet, personnel size, and personnel strength.

His new generation of shipbuilding plan has also been put on the agenda.

Not just Tudor schooners, there are even more amazing things.

In fact, since they had money, they had already purchased enough raw materials from outside the island.

It was built by shipbuilder Hans the Younger according to precise drawings.

Use the ability of Crystal Skull No. 8: Light of Knowledge of the Morning Star to greatly increase the construction speed.

In a few months, we will be able to see the world's first finished "Tudor hybrid sailing ship".

There is great hope that it will be upgraded to a powerful [Relic] upon successful construction!
This time, they harvested 2,000 high-quality teak trees, enough to build a third-level ship.

Byron's goal is to achieve it in one step, to build a heavy-armored cruiser that can be invincible even when facing a third-level ship!
“Even if there weren’t an endless stream of spies and traitors.

A small island also lacks the necessary foundation for developing heavy industry. Iron ore, fuel, timber, sufficient labor force, and land resources are all in short supply.

It is imperative to choose a location on the island of Yucatan to build a new fortress city.”

Of course, Byron had a little thought of his own that he didn't dare tell Catherine.

That is the scheduled builder of the industrial system. Violet will be here soon.

Separate the family, must separate the family!
