Chapter 62 Escort Fleet

The next day, Tom enthusiastically helped Eric contact a merchant ship to transport various needed supplies. Tom may not know that there is such an unreasonable thing as a gold finger in this world.

Eric, who had no choice but to reveal his secret to outsiders, could only lead everyone to follow the merchant ship to deliver supplies.

"Are these guys really okay? I'm worried about whether we can transport the goods back safely." The owner of the merchant ship was a middle-aged man with a big belly. He held a handkerchief in one hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead while talking to Tom.

He complained that he was very worried about Eric's team, whose members were mostly female.

"Huh?" Esdeath, who was standing sideways behind Eric, heard his words and made a questioning sound like a demon from hell, while turning her head and giving the man a fierce look.

"Hey!" As if he was being targeted by the devil, he screamed involuntarily, and the middle-aged man hid behind the broad Tom.

"Hahahaha, how about it? You are strong, right?" Tom laughed, even tears came out.

"Mr. Tom! I felt almost dead just now!" After the man wrung out the handkerchief, he began to wipe the sweat again, but this time it was cold sweat caused by fear.

"It doesn't matter! Look, Mr. Sutton," Fishman Tom took out a few bounty orders and newspapers, "This is a wanted criminal who escaped from the rear admiral, a big pirate with a bounty of 98 million Baileys! Those are just

The pirates who robbed them on the route were no match for them."

"Aren't I even more worried? They won't just cooperate inside and outside and loot all my goods, right?!" The middle-aged man was so shocked that he hired pirates as guards. Isn't this a case of meat buns beating dogs and never coming back?

"Don't worry, Mr. Sutton. I have learned carefully that they are different from those pirates who rob the country at will. They have not robbed civilians or merchant ships, but only the navy. You can rest assured and leave it to them."

"..." The chubby Sutton was relieved, but he felt something was wrong.

"So, aren't we just escorting one ship? How could we become a large fleet?" Eric looked at the dozens of ships docked on the sea and asked the contact person in confusion.

Sutton, who had a big belly, wiped his sweat and replied sheepishly: "Originally, we were preparing to sail, but other shipyards didn't know where they got the news. They heard that there were powerful guards, so they also stepped up to send transportation.

Ship, join us, and before you know it, it will become a big fleet."

Eric thought to himself: 'Could it be that Mr. Tom who leaked it everywhere? So that these shipyards can also purchase materials to maintain the vitality of this city. You silly Tom, I didn't expect it.

I have this!'

"Oh, are these the powerful guards? I'll take care of you for the next few days!"

The strong man who looked very bold walked over and introduced himself, "I am Greg Wall, the owner of Dockyard No. 6, just call me Wall. We will also give a commission for each ship here."

Yes, don’t worry about us defaulting on your debt.”

"This is the place, Mr. Wall, can we leave now?" As the captain, Eric had to step forward to deal with the other party. In his previous life, he was not very used to familiar guys, and he had money to make, so in his heart

The unhappiness of being cheated just now disappeared.

"Of course, everything is ready, let's go now!"

Although they serve as guards, the rooms assigned to everyone are still very comfortable. In order to ensure that Eric and the others can be in the best condition at any time to face the invading pirates.

A fleet of more than a dozen ships headed toward the destination—the capital of the Queen of Spring, "Saint Poplar." This island is a lumber export center relatively close to the capital of the Seven Waters. It only takes a sailing ship to sail

It can be reached in two days, and if the sea train track is laid in the future and you take the sea train, it will only take half a day to arrive.

"Pirate ship spotted at three o'clock!"

The observers at the watchtower sounded the alarm again. The overly large fleet greatly increased the chance of being discovered by pirates. This was already the third wave of pirates.

"Leave it to me." Chiron moved his arms and took off the longbow from his back, intending to directly scrap the mast on the opposite side and destroy the power source of the pirate ship.

"Wait a minute, let me try it this time." Eric flicked the coin upwards with his right hand, intending to try the electromagnetic gun.

"Yeah, captain brother, hurry up and test fire, so I can collect the data of the electromagnetic gun." Da Vinci held an unknown instrument in his hand, ready to measure. Although Da Vinci had already designed the electromagnetic gun on the battleship before

The weapon, however, only has a theoretical design. Due to the lack of actual weapon models, it is impossible to obtain actual values, and there is some uncertainty about the power of the electromagnetic gun manufactured in the future.

As a result, Eric, the king of thunder and lightning, was called to be the tool man. He was holding an iron-cobalt alloy specially synthesized by Leonardo da Vinci: "Hey, do you know about the 'rail gun'?"

An ordinary shipwright next to him really helped and said: "r...rail...gun?"

With a proud expression on his face, Eric held the coin between his two fingers and explained: "Also known as the 'railgun', it uses Fleming's laws of motion to launch cannonballs with electromagnetic energy. Don't look at this small coin.

Even if it is launched at the speed of sound, the power will not be small."

"Oh! Bang bang bang bang!" Although the shipyard workers next to him didn't understand what he was talking about, they felt so powerful that they exclaimed in confusion, and then clapped their hands to increase the atmosphere.

Da Vinci was a little impatient: "Yes, right-hand rule, hurry up and finish your work so that I can go back to my room."

"..." Eric was interrupted from complimenting him, and he praised himself, "Da Vinci, can you give me more face?"

"Scientific experiments and time are more important, captain brother~"

"Then," Eric used greater force this time to bounce the coin high, and the blue current on his body surged "Bilibili", "Look at my 'railgun'!"

The coin falling due to gravity fell in front of Eric, and was affected by the magnetic force in the electromagnetic field. It turned into a yellow cannonball, which blasted towards the pirate ship on the opposite side with great force, and then disappeared into the air...

That's right, it disappeared into the air. The friction between the coin and the air generated high temperatures. It started to melt after flying only a hundred meters, and burned up at a distance of about two hundred meters.

Eric, who was feeling lonely, kept his right hand straight.

"Hmm." Da Vinci recorded the flight data of the cannonball and said to himself: "The initial velocity is okay, but the cannonball needs high-temperature resistant materials." Then he placed a round cannonball the size of a lead ball on Eric.

With his right hand still stretched forward, he said, "Try this this time."

A shipbuilder nearby reminded uneasily: "Well... we are about to enter the artillery range of the enemy pirate ship."

Eric, who had been silent all this time, could only say: "Chiron, I need to trouble you again this time."

"It doesn't matter, Captain, everyone makes mistakes the first time. No matter how many failures and difficulties there are in the future, you will definitely be able to defeat them and continue to move forward. I firmly believe that you are such a student. Ha!"

Chiron, who was cheering Eric up, shot a dazzling arrow, causing the mast of the opponent's pirate ship to fall down.

"Of course, this is just a failure, but I will never give up!" Eric once again used electromagnetic power to launch the cannonball, accurately hitting the nesting pirate ship. The high-speed cannonball carried unparalleled kinetic energy and

Most of the pirate ship was torn into pieces.
