Chapter 428: War of Conquest of the New World (3)
During the Age of Exploration, merchants were also great warriors.
No, when a merchant ship was out of order, it was common for it to transform into a pirate ship.
That’s why when the European powers were at war and needed a navy, they would issue a mobilization order to merchants to act as a ‘navy’.
The tradition from that time still remains, and merchant ship navigators are called ‘merchant officers’.
It’s not that bad for me, a merchant in a medieval fantasy world, to go to war to secure a market.
“Attention, everyone!”
The sharp new sailors who volunteered to join the army and the employees of our company looked at me with sharp eyes.
“4,000 barbarians who sacrifice people are rushing to annihilate us and the tribesmen here. On the other hand, we will fight them with only 100 people.”
They looked at me with anxious eyes at my words.
Even if we use better weapons and armor than their equipment, you might wonder if we can win against a 40-fold difference in numbers.
That’s a natural thought.
However, if we don’t show an overwhelming difference in power this time, we won’t be able to conquer the New World.
