Rise of the Empire Total War

"General Sigurd, this merchant ship is under our control!"

Standing on the deck of the bloody merchant ship, Sigurd in light armor listened to the report of the sailors under his command, nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "How many brothers did we die?"

"Uh..." The sailor hesitated for a while, Sigurd frowned when he saw it, the sailor shivered, and hurriedly said: "We killed thirteen brothers in battle, and there are many more People got hurt."

"That's thirteen people dead?" Sigurd stared wide-eyed, looked at the sailor who reported the situation, and then asked, "What about the other party's casualties?"

"The people who dared to resist were basically dead, but there were still a few people who voluntarily surrendered, and one person was knocked out. We also found several trembling people in the cabin, and there were two good-looking women inside... "

"Damn it, lock up all the captives. When I return to Bassa Island, I want them to know what hell is!" Sigurd shouted angrily. He didn't notice the last sentence of his younger brother, but All was put on the loss. Thirteen brothers died in the first battle. This loss was not small. There were only more than a hundred sailors under his command. He lost one-tenth of it in this battle. What should we do in the future?

"Yes, yes..." The sailor quickly agreed, and asked after a while: "Then, general, what should we do with this merchant ship?"

Sigurd didn't even think about it, and said casually: "Collect all the corpses of our people, throw the corpses of the enemy down to feed the fish, and then drive the boat away."

"clear."

After the sailor left, the cloud on Sigurd's face still remained, and he secretly vowed in his heart that if the profit from the ticket was not worth as much as the value of his younger brother who died in battle, he would smash the asses of all the prisoners.

...

A few days later, Sigurd returned to the island of Bassa with his fleet.

At this time, Basa Island has been roughly cleaned up by Sigurd's people. Although the traces of the deadly fire before are still there, they, the nervous Nordic men, don't care. Complain about why this place was set on fire earlier.

For this kind of complaint, Sigurd could only respond with a wry smile. Odin, if he knew that Richard would make this place his base, he would never set fire to the island.

Although the buildings on the island are simply cleaned up, the most important port has been rebuilt quite completely. Not only that, but also some expansions have been carried out on the original basis. The last eight warships can all be accommodated very well.

After all the ships were moored and docked, the sailors under Sigurd brought everyone and the spoils of the captured merchant ships to the open space in front of the port. A total of twelve people were captured on the merchant ship, seven of them were just unlucky passengers, four were the captain and sailors who voluntarily surrendered, and the other was the knocked out Jill. In addition to these people, the Vikings also obtained crates of untreated ore and gold sand, as well as some ivory and animal fur. As for the currency, although there are many, they have not been counted.

Compared with the previous two, ivory and animal fur can be said to be eclipsed. Those untreated ores are basically raw ores with high gold and silver content, and those gold sands should be picked up by the stupid natives of the continent of Zane . Although these two types can be counted as waste products before smelting (sands should not be counted), it is actually very simple to smelt and extract the precious metals inside. Just send these back to Cuban Island. I believe that Richard has a way to get them For precious precious metals.

Looking at it this way, Sigurd's grief for the dead brother was dispelled a lot. He ordered people to reload the spoils back to the merchant ship, and planned to send them back to Cuban Island and hand them over to Richard the next day. . He roughly calculated the remaining coins, and there were about one or two thousand silver coins, which Richard allowed him to distribute for himself.

So he distributed all the money except the one he kept to his sailors.

Oh, and those captives, except for the three women who were caught out (the two beautiful people mentioned earlier does not mean that there are two women), the others were locked up in the cells with harsh conditions. As for the fate of the three women ... It's enough for everyone to know.

...

A few days later, when Richard received the first battle report of the privateer he sent out, the system in his mind also issued a new reminder:

[Admirals that can be promoted: Sigurd]

"promoted!"

Richard didn't even think about it, and directly chose to promote. The next second, he heard a crisp sound in his ears, and a new list of personal attributes was displayed in front of his eyes.

Personal attributes:

Name: Sigurd

Age: 38

Commander: ★★ (This person can only deal with small-scale wars, please don't have too much hope for him, otherwise he will disappoint you)

characteristic:

Qualified Admiral: This person has become a qualified admiral and can handle small-scale naval battles, but please don't get too much hope from him. (statistic +1)

Descendants of Vikings: This person is a descendant of Viking pirates, and the genes in his bones give him a natural advantage and desire to conquer the ocean. (statistic +1)

"..."

Looking at Sigurd's personal attributes, Richard was silent.

This attribute is really bad. Even if he has the status of Viking descendant, he is only a two-star general. If he does not have the status of Viking descendant, he may only have a poor one star.

Thinking about the evaluation of the command of one star, it seems that when this person commands the navy, even the girl next door can't help laughing.

It was hopeless.

Although he slandered Sigurd's poor attributes, Richard could only admit it with his eyes closed. He is not qualified to be picky and picky now. It is not bad to have a two-star admiral. If If I remember correctly, all admirals in the game have no stars, and they need to pile up naval battles one after another to upgrade their ranks.

After turning off the desperate personal attribute interface, Richard turned his attention to Sigurd's loot. The raw ore and gold sand can only be sent to the tannery workshop to see if there are any craftsmen there. The method is refined, and the ivory and furs are thrown to his merchant Walcoma. No, Walcoma seems to be sent to Leuven City by Richard.

Since Walcoma is not here, it can only be handed over to Captain Shelly to see if he has a channel to sell it.
