Chapter 227: Unsatisfactory and Each Taking What He Needs

Zhang Wei wanted to turn the mountain dwarves into high-level ghouls, so as to solve the problem of the dwarves' unwillingness to share technology.

However, he couldn't show it too obviously, so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion.

Finally, after a long argument, the two sides reluctantly reached an agreement that Zhang Wei would exchange three privateering warships for 15 pairs of mountain dwarf couples in their prime.

The reason why Zhang Wei could only exchange 15 pairs of mountain dwarf couples was because he only gave empty ships. No matter how the dwarves persuaded him, Zhang Wei remained unmoved at the port and loaded all 36 naval guns and 12 small cannons on the decks of the three privateer warships onto another ship. These ships would stall after being loaded, and of the 12 warships, only 6 would have % combat capability.

Zhang Wei did not delay too long. The two parties only agreed on the time and contact person for the next trade, and then Zhang Wei quickly left with the fleet.

The mountain dwarves were not very happy about getting three privateer warships without firearms.

Firstly, this port is actually controlled by the Highland Dwarves, and the Highland Dwarves will definitely not equip the three privateering warships of the Mountain Dwarves with weapons.

Secondly, the three unarmed privateering warships could not sail long distances on the sea, let alone return to the port they controlled.

Not to mention that the port of Libervy was still being blockaded by the Northern Fleet of the Grand Duchy of Naima.

Now these three privateering warships are useless. It is tasteless to eat them, but it is a pity to throw them away. If you keep them, you will have to pay the Highland Dwarves for them.

The Highland Dwarves took the opportunity to propose to the Mountain Dwarves that they could fund the purchase of the three privateering warships, but this proposal was decisively rejected by the Mountain Dwarves.

The agreement between the Highland Dwarves and the Mountain Dwarves was a temporary agreement based on superficial agreement but underlying discord.

Both sides want to gain the greatest benefit from the other side, but are also worried that the other side will grow stronger because of their support.

所以一方就从火器的补给上下功夫，另一方就从原材料上下功夫，双方没有形成1+1大于2的合力，反而形成了1+1小于2的牵扯之力。

The mountain dwarves firmly believe that Zhang Wei will come back again. After all, Fifteen has limited effect on the mountain dwarves' resource smelting. They have achieved their current status through their monopoly on technology.

On the return journey, Zhang Wei's fleet encountered a patrol fleet of the Northern Fleet of the Grand Duchy of Naima.

Zhang Wei immediately gave orders to place the three privateering warships carrying artillery and dwarves in the middle, and the other six warships took the initiative to slow down and guard the periphery.

The Northern Fleet's patrol team only had four ships. When the commander saw the posture of Zhang Wei's side, he was suddenly a little hesitant. He could not see the true status of the warships protected in the middle.

Is it because he was injured after fighting with the enemy, so he had to stay in the middle?

Or is the ship carrying important supplies?

For the commander, Zhang Wei is a potential threat to them after all, so if they are returning with important supplies, the commander will consider whether to intercept Zhang Wei.

Although the number of Northern Fleet patrols is relatively small in terms of the number of ships, the main force of their own fleet that is blockading the port of Kativa is very close, and they only need to send ships back to bring a large number of reinforcements.

Zhang Wei discovered that the Northern Fleet patrol had no intention of leaving nor fighting, so he realized that the other side was trying to test their situation.

Zhang Wei thought about it and felt that it was too late to make the three warships carrying people and artillery look like damaged ships.

He thought about it and ordered one-third of the people on the deck to go into the boat.

The remaining two thirds were asked to pretend to be nervous and organize the guns on the deck.

In fact, they were asked to mess up the ship's guns on purpose.

This will make it impossible for the Northern Fleet's patrol to count the number of naval guns and personnel on the three warships.

The messy deck would mislead the enemy into thinking they were returning home after being defeated.

The two sides continued to test and observe on the brink of battle.

The commander observed from afar the chaotic situation on the three warships protected in the middle.

He discovered that one of the warships was actually the enemy's flagship.

This discovery made him, who had originally wanted to give up the attack, now think of giving the opponent a fatal blow.

So the commander decisively led his patrol back.

He wanted to give Zhang Wei's side an illusion that they were no longer hostile.

But in fact, the commander wanted to return to the main fleet to seek support. Since Zhang Wei's side foolishly placed the flagship on the damaged warship, don't blame them for taking this opportunity to attack Zhang Wei's naval forces.

Zhang Wei didn't know that, because he was worried that the mountain dwarves would be harmed, he personally came to the warship carrying the dwarves to protect them and set the ship as the flagship.

It was supposed to be a move of respect, but it ended up attracting the enemy's attention.

It wasn't long before they got rid of the Northern Fleet patrol.

The main force of the Northern Fleet chased after them aggressively.

Because the three warships stalled, the privateering fleet, which had the advantages of speed and flexibility, was unable to take advantage of them at all.

Zhang Wei thought about it, gritted his teeth, and used levitation magic and flash to move all the mountain dwarves to another privateering warship in normal condition.

Then he ordered two other privateers in normal condition to escort the privateer back home.

Zhang Wei led the remaining six warships and turned around to meet the enemy.

Next, he ordered the other three privateers in normal condition to fight together by taking advantage of their sailing and flexibility.

He led three obviously overweight privateer warships, ready to engage the enemy in gunboat mode.

After the other three privateers left the team to find a more advantageous route and wind direction.

Zhang Wei's three warships turned sideways, preparing to fire at the enemy with more gun muzzles facing sideways.

At the same time, Zhang Wei ordered the magicians on the three warships to start casting magic defense shields.

The doubled number of magicians and the doubled number of artillery will be Zhang Wei's greatest reliance in the future.

The Northern Fleet of the Grand Duchy of Naima has 12 warships this time.

They immediately divided into two fleets according to Zhang Wei's troop division tactics.

A fleet of six warships went directly to chase the three privateers who were looking for the route and wind direction.

Another fleet of six warships rushed towards Zhang Wei's three warships with great momentum.

As for the three privateering warships that left early, they found that they could not catch up at all, so they gave up.

Now the Northern Fleet’s idea is to cause as much damage as possible to Zhang Wei’s warships.

At least the strategic goal should be achieved to prevent Zhang Weijian's team from advancing westward easily.
