Bandit, Be Ambitious! To Accomplish Kingdom Revival!

Mr. O'Brie immediately went out to the villa after hearing from Mr. Zairas in the Wang capital that we were alone.

No matter how safe you say it is, if you make a mistake, you can't take it back, but I don't think you have much to worry about.

"Please don't do this anymore. I'll pick you up at the south fort as soon as you get in touch."

"Well, I didn't mean to bother you, but I'll let you know in advance next time."

I'm telling you that, but I guess I'll always feel like the last princess. I can't lose my common guts either, so it's a difficult order inside.

Even if it's Sadie's answer, it must be because Mr. O'Brie is looking at him with a scary face. Probably will soon forget about it.

"So where are you going next?

"I was showing Banter the harbor. Banter, where's next?

"Is it time to go home? I think I know the approximation. If Mr. O'Brie is here, I'd like to invite the captain of last year and the ship carpenter to the villa."

"Copy that. Then follow me."

Looks like the three of us can't act easy. On his way out of the harbor, led by Mr. O'Brie, he found a shop dealing with cloth, so he got a cloth similar to Nell's.

When you return to the square and take the carriage, two soldiers will ascend your podium.

"It's a lot of trouble. You have to figure out what to do to take it easy."

"That's all the queens are showing Sadie. You don't have to talk to Mr. O'Brie about the minimum escort."

Looks like you're going to make someone like SP who specializes in escorts.

In a way, it would be nice if Mu had a martial arts like Marian's, because he's one of our runners. The arms of a stone bow are pretty good, but releasing bolts all over the city seems like another problem.

Upon returning to the villa, Mr. Marian is asked to use Nell to make a triangular bag.

I was thinking a little bit, but when I said I would put it in a pot of tea and use it, he convinced me. They sometimes use tea in such bags.

"That's a little thick cloth. Cotton would be good for tea, but did you buy powdered tea?

"It's not like tea, but I'll treat you when I can. I found something I used to drink, so I bought some."

When I was talking about Marian, I heard Sadie and the others arguing with Mr. O'Brie at the window.

When Mu looked at the telescope, did something happen in the harbor?

"Wasn't Catapult just a frigate?

"In naval warfare, it was extremely advantageous, and small catapults were also loaded onto trading ships. That fleet was the first trading ship to have a catapult on board."

"It's not like Crabble started the pirates, is it?

"No way...... Even if you repel pirates, you will not commit looting against other fleets."

I guess it depends on the degree of the deal. I want it to always be a transaction that offers reciprocal benefits. Otherwise, there will be fears that the transaction will be interrupted.

Perhaps the escort ship is boarded by the breathtaking of the kingdom and monitors the transaction. That said, there are huge profits involved, so there is a chance that the uncomfortable will come out.

"It's something I could have predicted to some extent, so don't think it's a problem as far as I'm concerned. In the future it would also be possible to reduce the number of frigates by arming trading vessels. That's all the more profitable, so I guess the owners of the trading ships are also positive for catapult installation."

Two people came to the table after listening to me. Mu also puts a cloth on the telescope and sits down next to Mr. Marian.

"Lord Banter is exactly what you said earlier. There will be two small catapults on all the trading ships that make long voyages. But the two convoys have been accompanied as before."

"Escorts are not always just escorts...... That's what you're saying."

Mr. O'Brie nodded at my story. He found out what I meant by laughing.

It's the people in the house who don't know. I'm leaning my neck.

"Are you still saying there is a pirate threat?

"The captains seem to say that there are no unseen voyages of pirate ships. We heard that there were not so many naval battles, but we also heard that the fleet was small enough to strike."

"Are you saying it's quite dangerous……. In that case, we'll have to consider arming the fleet looking for new trading routes."

"Isn't that supposed to be a deal ship for naval warfare? That sounds funny!

Sadie and Mu are happy, but Mr. Marian is shaking his head and giving up. Well, I guess once you get on the boat, you'll be satisfied.

That night, I put crushed coffee beans in a bag that Marian sewed for me, and it's been a long time since I've tasted coffee.

Marian totally liked the coffee she drank with a little sugar.

I gave him the rest of the beans, so he'll be able to enjoy them for a while.

I don't like Sadie and the others, but this is my personal preference. Enjoy it with me and Mr. Marian.

Think at the table illuminated by the lights of the light bulbs as they arm the trading ships.

Marian made me coffee in a big cup before everyone went to bed, so I am enjoying the pipe and drinking it. I guess it's the biggest achievement of this time.

The only problem I have with thinking about is the enemy's arming, but until now the only thing I've seen is the bow's arming.

That would mean that the target was also a bow. You use catapults against people like that, so it's a one-sided naval battle, isn't it?

But it would be nice if the other ship was the same size, but it could be a cow's knife on a small ship. Plus, a long launch interval would be a problem. I guess you're fighting like you're threatening your opponent by striking out a firelit arrow because you've got enough distance to fly.

If they still came close without flinching, they would be more powerful than regular fire arrows if they hit close range.

However, a large number of small ships cannot deal with it.

So we're going to need a weapon that's smaller than a catapult and has a longer effective range than a long bow, but would there have been such a weapon?

The flying distance is about 1M (150M), so don't feel like you should miniaturize the catapult.

Even a long bow seems good, but that's a weapon aimed at the surface, so if you fire an arrow at the same time, you'll hit a few.

All you have to do is mount soldiers who can use both stone bows and long bows.

Other than that, do you decide to put a few small catapults on it and hit the target with a bomb? I was thinking of destroying the stone bridge between Krabble and Nielezm in the next battle, so if you convert gunpowder, you won't have to make a new one.

I only store it without using it because it is dangerous and I will use it early.

That still makes me want to take a quick look at the ship's model. We can't move on until we figure out where we can install it.

Two days later, the captain and the ship carpenter finally arrived.

A ship carpenter's apprentice brought a new trading ship model to the living room, a substitute nearly 2m in size alone. You're over the model, aren't you?

"It was only in the spring of this year that we made it. I didn't have to bring it to you to say that it would come in the summer."

"I've never seen the eagle before last night either, but it's pretty different. Do you mind if I check with you a little bit?

"Yeah, let's all take a good look and have the next model made. We've also seen trading ships and frigates in the harbor. I admit this ship has changed quite a bit."

When you finish your tea at the table, everyone gathers around a model set in the corner of the living room.

Marian and Mu are peeking behind Sadie, too.

"The most unusual are the sails and rudder. The rudder would certainly be a good way to do this. I'm mounting this rudder on the trading ship I'm building right now. There will be results next year, but I think other trading ships are going to incorporate this method."

They tried the rudder effect on an artificial waterway.

I'm also surprised that there is such a facility, but they have various orders to make the ship. They will not build the ship unless they have confirmed that there are no problems with the improvement.

In a way, is that supposed to be a test?

He must have been able to safely navigate long distances.

"What I don't know is this movable sail. The ships we build also have masts, but they have never moved in this direction. I've never seen a sail girder swing from left to right."

"It would be fine if I could make it. The reason we need it is to say that the rowers on this ship are less than half the time."

There should be no need for ten sticking out on the left or right, but it is also a precautionary measure.

"I don't even know the plate that protruded into the bottom of this ship. There doesn't seem to be a problem even if it sticks out at this point, but it can be disconnected from the hull in case. Otherwise, if you hit the reef, that's it. I'd like to remove it if I could."

"I'm in trouble without that. Whether it's this long or not, it's subtle, but this board prevents the ship from being flushed by the wind."

Hearing me, everyone turned to me in unison.

"Banter, the sailboat is going with the wind in the sail. The wind comes from behind. Wouldn't being flushed speed up the boat's feet?

I guess Sadie's thoughts are all the same. Even the captain is snorting.

Diagonal the model's sail and you'll see everyone's face.

"In this state, if the wind were to blow from the port side of the ship, which way would this sailboat go?

"Go sideways. A little to the right, I suppose."

"Why don't you take the left on the rudder?

The sound of the captain dropping the pipe sounded loud in the living room.

A little late, the ship carpenter said, "Ah!" Raise your voice aloud.

"Will this ship proceed on the wind!

"That's what I'm saying. That's why we need to devise a way to keep the ship from being flushed."

Back at the table, Mr. Marian brought me coffee.

Sounds like juice to Sadie and Mu.

Hot coffee feels good on a hot day too.

The captains also drink deliciously.

"It seems a little strange. It's similar to the caffy I drank at the harbor store, but this is completely free of that powder."

"It's a little ingenious. It's filtered by Nell."

"Even the ship can think of all that ingenuity. This could be easy. Tell that store too. I heard there's a surprisingly high number of people who drink caffy."

The shipbuilder's beam is whining about that.

That sounds good too. It would be good to get regular beans and exchange them.

"He answered my biggest question, but I want to find out if I can really do it on a small boat. A two-person hand rowing boat makes it easy to modify it. We'll take care of that."

"Best wishes. I'll send you a note if it's soggy, so please reflect it in the next model."

Seeing where the two of them snorted, he looks like a realist.

I can feel relieved that I haven't focused on the way I've done it for a long time. A small sailboat would go well. I'm looking forward to next year.
