Chapter 237: War in the New World (2)

Broken planks drifted on the sea, but the fleet sailed straight past and arrived at the silver mine with familiarity.

However, since there was a reconnaissance ship, it meant that the southerners had already noticed some movement.

Combined with the information he had obtained from Knight Ben before, Lawrence had to consider whether the other party was preparing to attack the silver mine.

As an important source of silver coins for the Northern Principality, the importance of silver mines in the New World is becoming more and more prominent.

Moreover... every voyage has a lot of extra income, so Lawrence certainly cares.

So after landing, when he saw Black, he was not as happy as usual, but worried: "I brought you some free labor, but not all good news.

I suspect that the southerners have made a big move."

Black was originally happy to receive the visitors from his hometown, but now he is in a bad mood.

This is not the native land, and any reaction will take a long time.

The southerners are desperate, and even if they can take revenge in the future, they are finished.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zorro has been ordered to come to the New World to form a temporary legion, you can ask him to take care of it first." Lawrence suggested again.

This time, in addition to supplies, the fleet also brought an army composed mainly of barbarians and Rockmen, and Zorro would even be supplemented with manpower later.

If they help, they can deal with general troubles.

This was said in front of Rogge, and he did not refuse. After all, they would be in the New World in the future and needed to cooperate with each other.

...

The southerners who were suspected of doing something big were indeed preparing for a big move at this time.

Sir Cullen had been specifically inquiring about the situation since his deputy Adam defeated a white fleet.

Unfortunately, the situation developed to the worst.

Theoretically, since there is a New World, it is normal for other continents to exist in this world.

Unfortunately, the other side's civilization level is not low, at least the military strength is very strong.

He has seized a lot of things called muskets.

In addition to the captured prisoners, Sir Cullen has secretly communicated with the bosses of his faction, and then there was a big move by the southern nobles.

There is a threshold for making muskets, but it is not so high that they cannot understand.

Compared with the high-end goods in Derek's hands, the muskets in the hands of the white people are more primitive, and they are still mainly filled with gunpowder and paper shell bullets.

Some people even hold primitive matchlock guns, anyway, all kinds of weird things.

Even this has already demonstrated some of its power, allowing the southern bosses to secretly summon skilled craftsmen to start research.

The manufacturing industry in the South is still very developed, and the finished products were quickly reproduced, but the output and cost are still a problem.

In addition, the knights were not swept into the garbage dump. This level of muskets cannot change the ownership of the King of War.

Some stubborn people disdain it, and some smart people start to lay out early.

But no matter what, they all have a common view, to drive the white people out.

Canard is very large, but there is not an inch of extra land.

In their eyes, black slaves are not considered human beings, but just cheap livestock wandering in the New World.

But this group of white people may not be.

So, a large number of sealed weapons and armor were taken out of the warehouse, and the number of reserve knights began to increase.

Of course, the large amount of purchases from the North, plus the original knights, have already arrived in the New World.

Sir Cullen was given greater power because of his meritorious service.

In the New World colony, several rows of two-story buildings were still built under the simple environment.

The hot weather made people very uncomfortable. Sir Cullen ordered people to put some ice cubes in the room, which was not uncomfortable.

Those who could participate in this small meeting were all powerful nobles in the colony.

His deputy Adam, the head of the Knights from his hometown, the colonial sheriff, etc.

A map made of local rhinoceros hide saltpeter was hung on the wall.

"This is where the white-skinned guys settled. It is the closest place to us. They built a port there, formed an army and a fleet, and moved around."

Adam stood in the foreground. As the direct executor of this matter, he was very familiar with it.

"According to the prisoners we captured and our observations, there are at least two similar ports.

They have already had conflicts with the local natives and have achieved some results.

Of course, there are many reasons for us to start a war, but the most direct and immediate reason is these beautiful little things."

Adam took out a handful of red gems from his arms. After a simple polishing, they exuded a charming luster.

If they were taken to the south, there would be noble ladies willing to spend a lot of money to buy them.

Dozens or hundreds of gold coins are definitely not an exaggeration.

This is the direct driving force of the war.

Adam distributed the gems to everyone present, which was a small benefit.

Sir Karen had already received a lot, and now he just treated them as a toy and played with them in his hands.

But it was the first time for others to take them, and they were all surprised.

"The gem mine is also here, otherwise they would not choose to build a port here.

Take this port, drive away the white-skinned guys, and then we will own this gem mine."

Adam waved his fist with a confident look.

He was very active in promoting this matter, and for him, this was an opportunity to stand out.

Bringing benefits to those big guys, his future will be very bright.

Of course, he can also make a fortune by the way.

Sir Cullen put down the gem and was the first to raise his hand in agreement: "I support it. The profit of the slave trade alone is too low. We need to open up new sources of income, otherwise no one will continue to support us."

War has never been the goal. Only the New World is more important, and this cake can be made bigger.

And everyone sitting here is tied to the New World cake.

Only by winning more supporters and expanding the plate can everyone gain greater power.

Perhaps, there is really an opportunity to stand out from the New World.

The others hesitated for a while, looked at the charming gadgets in their hands, and finally chose to agree.

After all... the gem is not fake.

Never mind whether Sir Cullen's pie can be realized, at least make money for now.

What is the purpose of crossing the ocean to come here? Do you really think it is to bring civilization and hope to the New World?

Money, money, money.

War can make money, so let the war come more fiercely.

As hands were raised one by one, Adam was extremely excited.

"We need to attack from land. The white-skinned guys' ships are very powerful. We will suffer great losses. I already have a brilliant idea."
