Chapter 70 Travel to Virginia

It was already evening after dinner, and Link asked the tired Captain Parker to rest well.

The next morning, Link called his subordinates to the manor early to introduce them to the newly joined Captain Parker.

After some introduction, everyone became familiar with Captain Parker's communication skills were unquestionable.

"The Duke may send troops here in two months, which means we don't have much time left."

Link Huan looked at the people in the hall and murmured.

A month later, the duke realized that something happened in Miluo Island, so he assembled troops and arranged a fleet to sail at least half a month. After another half a month of sailing, he could reach Miluo Island.

"Can Captain Parker bring back a fake news? This will deceive the Duke for a while."

Carl makes his suggestion.

"There is no way. I have to take the guard leader Raul back with me. Only the Duke leaders will believe that I am just a working person after all, and they can't trust me."

Captain Parker spread his hands and shrugged.

The guard leader named Raul did not feel ashamed of his trust in the Duke. He fought to the last moment on the dock and was killed by Varre's men.

"So our Virgia plan to return home is in advance. Varé, how long does it take to get from here to your hometown?"

Link asked at Vale.

“It will take about a month.”

"It's easy to leave the windless belt. The windless belt in this sea area takes most of the time to sail. We can take a detour. Although the distance is long, it takes less time."

Captain Parker added on the side.

“Single trip can save about a week.”

Link's eyes lit up after hearing this: "That's it. I'm ready these days, so we'll set off and arrive in Virgia in a month. The ports there should be thawing, and it's time to go."

After hearing this, Varre responded. The Vigian mercenaries had long been looking forward to this day, and dreamed that they would reunite with their families soon. The professional soldiers of the Duke could not stop them at all.

Then he contacted his subordinates with various situations on Miluo Island recently.

Jon: "The houses and fields of the mountain people on the island have been processed. Now the former prisoners on the island have been taken to build reservoirs and dig rocks. The consumption is a bit large. Captives die every day. However, after the new prisoners joined yesterday, they should be able to last for a long time."

In order to maximize the output of the land cultivated by mountain people, Link used the captured guards as livestock.

"Fuck out the thorns first, and others will be obedient."

Link taught Jon the experience. Although he knew that the capital and lives of these prisoners were controlled by the Duke and it was a helpless move that he could not surrender, he had no idea of ​​being soft-hearted, and adults had to pay the price for their choices.

Carl: "The planting of sugarcane in the plantation has been on track. According to previous years' plan, the juice output in the next season is enough to fill 100,000 bottles of holy water!"

"There is no need. The supporting auxiliary materials and container equipment will not be able to keep up. It will be temporarily controlled within 10,000 bottles, and the others will be treated as ordinary wine."

Link told Carl that although the main ingredient of Holy Water, sugarcane wine, has no yield problems, the fruit trees on the island have just been planted, which is still early to harvest. Moreover, it will take some time for the market to accept the new product of VC Holy Water, and rashly distribute the goods in large quantities, will cause its price to collapse.

Carl then reported: "The Gini warriors recruited another group and raised a thousand people, but the number of Gini women traded was not enough. And they have also fallen in love with sugarcane wine recently, and the Gini warriors want to get a stable supply of sugarcane wine."

When Link heard this, he had a headache. He was fooled by Carl to be the patriarch of these natives. Now he not only has to feed them, but also has to assign their wives. Now he is still clamoring to ask for alcohol.

Fortunately, the indigenous soldiers performed well on the battlefield, which won unanimous praise from their subordinates and did not need to pay their own salary. Sugarcane wine will also be overproductive for a long time in the future.

"Okay, you can do it yourself. By the way, has the mystery of the native reproduction you studied have a result?"

Link suddenly asked vigilantly, with the continuous purchase of Gini women, he always had a premonition that Miluo Island would be occupied by the natives. If he could not figure out the reason for their exaggerated fertility rate, Link would rather maintain this situation.

"Well, sir, I have already achieved some phased results. I'll report to you if I have time."

Tommy: "Boss, there are more than a hundred new crew sailors. Donnie and I don't know how to drive the boat, so we can't convince the public. We have to find a professional to manage it."

Link looked at Captain Parker sitting next to him: "It's time to reflect your value."

Parker ignored the teasing he said and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Please take care of these guys in the future. I've been waiting for this day for a long time! Where did they come from?"

Parker asked Tommy who had just spoken.

"The people who are recruited on Blackwater Island are all experienced pirate sailors."

Worrying that Parker doesn't know where Blackwater Island is: "Blackwater Island is an island of pirate gatherings near the Golden Route."

"Ahhh! Pirate Sailor! Haha, can I experience the feeling of being a pirate captain in advance?"

Parker fled excitedly, holding something in his hand, and like the pirate captain actors in the theater, he gestured toward his head.

"Link, do you have a triangle hat? A qualified pirate captain must pay attention to details!"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, watching the originally steady Captain Parker suddenly jump out.

Link covered his head and felt that he was entrusted with something.

However, Captain Parker did not disappoint him. It took only two days to make the newly recruited sailor crew obey.

The Lake brothers were temporarily arranged to follow Parker. Link was worried that when he was killed by the thorn on the boat, it would be embarrassing. After all, Captain Parker's martial power is infinitely close to zero in his eyes.

Five days passed quickly, and Link brought fifty Vigian mercenaries with him, and there were too many people rushing to go home, so he had no choice but to draw lots to decide that half of them would go.

There are also twenty mountain crossbowmen who were selected. After a series of battles, they have infinitely approached the fourth-level armed force of the mountain crossbowmen's "Rodoc Elite Crossbowmen".

Link found that these heavy armored shooters were much faster than other troops. They were covered with heavy armor and their survival rate was much higher than that of light armor units. The steel crossbow in their hands could kill the enemy at a distance, and the attack range was far better than that of melee units.

Carl stayed on the island as usual, and he still had many tasks that only he could accomplish.

Jon was left to guard the house again, and there were more than 500 prisoners on the island, so people must be kept to guard.

Frank also stayed, facing the invaders and sporadic pirates who might be invading, there must be someone on the island who can stand alone.
