Pirate King: Unparalleled<

Frey turned around and saw Tris kneeling on the ground. His cheeks were red and he was very ashamed. He smiled and gently helped him up, motioned him to sit down and then said with a smile: "Uncle Tris, you don't have to be like that." Nervous, I guess those nobles are not ready to fall out with us yet, and we are not ready either."

Frey paused and continued: "In the short term, the nobles headed by Earl Yorick will not make much action, but it will be difficult to say after that. There is still plenty of time left for us." .

"At present, I already have a way to deal with it, but I just need the cooperation of the two of you."

Tris and Harold both said in unison: "Your Majesty, no matter what your command, we will never give up."

Frey was very satisfied after hearing what the two of them said. He first said to Harold: "Harold, I give you a task. You must go and send me a message to all the blacksmith shops in the entire royal capital and surrounding cities." I placed an arms order here and asked them to work day and night to make 500 sets of leather armor and 500 sets of light armor for me in a short period of time. I also purchased all the weapons they currently have and asked them to rush out 500 more. Spear".

"And buy me as much charcoal, sulfur, flint and saltpeter as you can."

When Harold heard what Frey said about purchasing armor equipment, he could understand it, until he heard what he said later about purchasing "charcoal, sulfur, flint and saltpeter." He began to feel that he was a little confused, but Harold, who had made up his mind to follow Frey to the death, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "I will obey your will, Your Majesty."

After Frey helped Harold up, he turned around and looked at Tris with a smile: "Uncle Tris, please draft a document later and then distribute it to all parts of the country. Recruitment will begin from all parts of the country. As follows, young men, no criminal record, over 18 years old and under 40 years old, in good health without any disease, hunters and veterans are given priority.”

"Also, add a line under the recruitment notice. Soldiers will not only have generous meals, but also high salaries, and they will receive personal training from the king."

Tris looked at Frey and asked strangely: "Your Majesty, there are about four to five hundred troops currently stationed in the royal capital. Although their equipment is not very good, they are all elites trained by me for many years. They have great combat effectiveness." They are extremely strong, you just need to equip them with good equipment. By then, let alone the private soldiers of the nobles, even those ferocious pirates who are causing trouble in the waters near the kingdom, I am confident that I will annihilate them all."

Hearing Tris' question, Frey responded with a smile: "Uncle Tris, my recruitment this time is not because I have doubts about the combat effectiveness of the army you have trained. I have other purposes."

Moreover, Uncle Tris, have you ever thought about it, when the "White Rhino Pirates" caused chaos in the coastal city of the king, you led the army to encircle and suppress them, but basically failed every time, even if you tried to ambush them. They had been lying in wait in the Kingdom's coastal city "Amster" for more than half a month without even seeing a ghost. As soon as you left with your army, the "White Rhino Pirates" pounced on you. .

Frey looked into Tris's eyes and asked: "How could it be such a coincidence? Uncle Tris, when you and the army were stationed, they didn't come to plunder, but the people from the "White Rhino Pirates" came just after you left."

Until the end, you took more than a hundred well-equipped soldiers with you, no one was alerted, and you secretly set up an ambush again. It happened that you and a team under the "White Rhino Pirates" came to rob privately. It was only then that you annihilated and captured some of the pirates for the first time, leading to the scene in the trial court that day.

"What does this mean? It means that the nobles may have placed their own people in the army, or the people of the "White Rhino Pirates" bribed certain officers in the army to inform them."

That day in the trial court, the group of pirates who were about to be hanged screamed so crazily when they were about to be executed again. They were so emboldened that even Earl Yorick even spoke for them and begged for mercy, wanting to let them go. You know, Yorick Earl Rick's fiefdom is "Stokol", one of the richest cities in the kingdom.

Stockholm was plundered many times by the "White Rhino Pirates" a while ago, and the losses were quite serious. Not only did Earl Yorick's fiefdom not feel distressed and angry when the pirates favored him so much, he also felt so He spoke for the pirates. On the surface, he seemed to be doing it for the sake of the kingdom. He was loyal and sincere, but secretly they were probably colluding.

Hearing Frey's analysis, Tris's face turned red with anger. He really didn't expect that there would be traitors in the team he had led for so many years, and that those sinful nobles would actually treat him for their own selfish desires. Regardless of the lives of the civilians in the fiefdom and allowing the pirates to do whatever they want, it is really a crime worthy of death.

Thinking of this, Tris also knelt down on one knee and said: "Follow your will, Your Majesty, I will draft the documents to recruit soldiers immediately."

Frey sent Harold and Tris out of the study, and watched their retreating figures until he could no longer see them, and then returned to the study.

Frey gently pulled out a piece of white paper from the drawer, took a pen from the table next to him, and prepared to draw a design of a thermal weapon.

"This hot weapon is called a "smoothbore flintlock."

"Yes, that's the smoothbore flintlock."

Frey learned from the memory in his mind that thermal weapons had already appeared in this world, such as guns and cannons, but they were limited to this and did not get further. improvement.

In fact, the guns that have appeared in this world are very similar to the "matchlocks" equipped by teams in Frey's previous life in the European Middle Ages and the 14th century. The shortcomings are basically the same. The shooting speed is extremely slow, and it takes an average of three minutes to fire. There are two rounds of bullets, and the range is only about a hundred meters. The hit rate is frighteningly low, and the damage is not particularly high.

The important thing is that people in this world generally have very high physical fitness. Basically, as long as the vital parts are not penetrated, they can survive tenaciously. Even some masters who know how to practice can greatly strengthen their physical fitness through practice and exercise. For example, the iron block in the "Six Forms" of Taijutsu that Frey has now learned.

With the support of the iron block, Frey could stand still and let dozens of people hit him with "matchlocks" for a long time without breaking his skin. At most, the clothes on his body would be penetrated, leaving a few bullets on his skin. The red dot hit has no other effect.
