Infinite Bloodcore

Chapter 432: Section 219: Buy a Demon Energy Ship

Water Pigman slaves were the most important trade item for the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps.

This deal being settled, both the Dragon-man youth and Zong Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, they headed back to the docks to inspect the ships.

The docks had once been a major battlefield, and now they were a ruins, a ghastly sight to behold.

Many ships were moored at the docks.

The origins of these ships were complex.

Some came from the Mercenary Group, some from the Guild, and some were pirate ships.

Hun Tong, in the last stages of the melee, had used beam cannons to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy. Many pirates were eradicated, leaving behind numerous ships.

Some ships had sunk, but most could be salvaged and had been dragged ashore.

The ships varied in the extent of their damage, some could still sail, while others required major repairs. Some had damaged dragon bones, needing assessment and calculations; if the repair costs were too high, they would be abandoned and either rebuilt or replaced.

The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps had a significant need for ships.

During the melee, their ships had mostly stayed at the docks, unlike those of other Mercenary Groups or Guilds, which had sailed out.

Of course, the latter’s outcome was not good.

They first encountered Magic Traps and then fiercely battled with the Vinegar Jar Pirate Group. During this period, they were harshly backstabbed by Hun Tong, which was tragic.

Regardless, the ships of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps were mostly affected.

When they first arrived at Twin Eyes Island, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps possessed 12 ships, including 2 medium-sized ships, with the rest being small ones.

During the defense against the Beast Tide, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps lost 5 vessels.

After the melee at Twin Eyes Island, only 2 small ships that survived were still usable.

Fortunately, there were many unclaimed ships at the docks.

Before negotiating with Hun Tong, the survivors had already targeted their desired ships.

The market price for an ordinary ship averaged around 50 Gold Coins. The size of the ship influenced its price, with smaller ships generally costing less than medium ones. Different marine environments also affected the prices. Additionally, the structure of the ship was another important factor, including the number of masts, sails, the size of the cargo holds, the quantity of cannons, and so on.

Hun Tong did not need these ships; not only were they useless to him, but they also came with substantial maintenance and repair costs.
