Chapter 17 Enlisted in the Army
Port Gabred.
The third largest military port on the west coast of the Kingdom of Phaetis, facing the boundless Black Sea, is also one of the most important bridgeheads in the era of great navigation that began two hundred years ago.
In addition to the Kingdom’s Third Fleet stationed here, it is also an important commercial and trade distribution center, with a large and prosperous population.
Even because of the huge income from maritime trade, it filled a large part of the military expenditure of the Third Fleet. For the kingdom, both its geographical location and its economic and military influence are crucial.
In the afternoon.
Captain Shelley and his squad are on routine duty at the port’s outpost. Today the sun is shining and the sea is not rough, but Captain Shelley’s mood is not as good as the weather.
“My Goddess Judy!”
It was supposed to be a very suitable day for fishing, but I had to come to work. It would be great if we could invite Judy out on a day like this to go fishing together and spend a wonderful sunny afternoon!
The captain looked at the sea in the distance with his telescope listlessly, while he was intrigued.
Blue sea, white clouds, unchanging scenery, and a merchant ship.
No exception.
“Wait, what is that? There’s a boat behind it, black and black sails!!! It’s a pirate!” Captain Shelley turned pale in fright and was about to jump almost immediately.
“Clang, clang, clang”
The continuous alarm bells echoed on the sea, causing a lot of chickens and dogs in the port. No pirates have dared to come here since the port was established. The provocative Gabride, for the first time, echoed the siren of the pirate attack.
The afternoon after the battle with the Blood Anchor ended, half a day later than the scheduled arrival time, when the Yellow Hulk and the Blood Anchor one after the other approached the port.
Captain Joseph never imagined that one day he would receive such a “grand” welcome!
Escorted by two double-deck battleships with sixty-four guns, the Yellow Hulk and the Blood Anchor slowly pulled into their berths. Goddess, those are two Level 4 battleships!
If the semaphore had not been used to announce the identity in advance, the navy on the warship would have doubts, and maybe the whole ship would have sunk into the sea with extreme joy turns to sorrow.
The merchant ship has just stopped.
The captain didn’t dare to delay, and with a more agile attitude than youngster, flew off the Yellow Hull and explained it clearly to the admiral who came to contact him, and then he lifted the oolong alarm issued by the rookie captain.
Afterwards, the corpses of pirates were carried down from the Blood Anchor, and the heroic deeds of the Yellow Hulk also spread throughout the port, causing a huge sensation in Garbride.
You must know that even if the daily navy warships are dispatched to patrol the route, most of the pirates will be driven away. In rare cases, the advantage of the artillery fire of multiple warships can be used to sink the opponent.
It is rare to be able to completely wipe out pirates in a pick-up battle and completely capture the opponent’s pirate ship.
After all, the pirate ship can’t do anything else, and it runs as fast as the first class. When encountering a warship cruising or turning around and running, it is difficult for warships to pursue for the sake of route safety.
Although it is very lucky, a merchant ship can kill the pirates and capture the pirate ship of the other party. It is enough for the captain to brag for a lifetime.
If he attends a celebrity party, many noble ladies and socialites may give him a chance to meet privately in order to hear about his heroic deeds. when the time comes chatting well, you might encounter a romantic romance.
While Captain Joseph and the crew of the Yellow Husk were enjoying the warm cheers of the people of Gabride, Alwin had already brought his share of spills of war — gold coins from various countries worth two hundred Golden Lions Disembark quietly.
He didn’t want to be in the limelight before joining the Navy, though, and let his future colleagues have bad ideas. But this kind of sensational major event is obviously not so easy to hide.
In the cone at the end of the bag, his name has quietly entered the ears of some high-level fleets with the spread of the incident, arousing the interest of some people.
With regard to spills of war, all countries have introduced relevant laws, and all the spills of war obtained by fighting pirates in the ocean are owned by individuals and do not need to be handed over to the state.
Therefore, the follow-up to dispose of the sloop of the Blood Anchor and the temporarily unknown pirate bounty is still worthy of Alwin’s expectation.
As for whether Captain Joseph will ignore this part of the Golden Lion, Alwin is not worried, this world is an extraordinary world after all, and there is no absolute weak and strong relationship between individuals and organizations.
Maybe in Captain Joseph’s heart, Alwin may be the stronger party.
Alwin didn’t hang out after disembarking, but went straight to the point.
When he inquired about the address of the recruiting office on the pier, Alwin received enthusiastic advice from the local residents, not only pointed out the address of the recruiting office, but also told him a whole set of recruiting procedures.
Thanks to the enthusiastic passers-by, Alwin walked through a dozen large and small streets with his luggage on his back, and finally came to a remote courtyard with mottled walls.
After repeatedly confirming that the rusted brass door plate really reads “The Recruitment Office of the Third Fleet of the Kingdom’s Navy”, I understand what it means for passers-by who come to point me to not being easy to find.
Alwin wondered in his heart, is it so poor to work in the navy?
“That”
Alwin turned around, and a man with dark skin and half a head taller than himself, like an Iron Pagoda, showed a shy smile:
“Well, I want to ask, is this the Navy Recruiting Office?”
“Well, I haven’t gone in yet, but it says here on the door. Are you also here to join the army?” Alwin had a good impression of this simple-looking guy, and said to him with a smile.
“Yes, yes, I’m Gary Farman, I’m here to join the Navy, hello! Hello!”
“Hello, Alwin Garriott!”
The sturdy man wiped his hand on his clothes vigorously, holding Alwin’s outstretched right hand and shaking it vigorously.
After releasing it, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Alwin with a terrified expression: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I forgot when I got excited, is your hand okay?”
Alwin spread out his clean and white right hand, nothing unusual, but a prompt popped up in the digital vision.
Name: Gary Farman
Gender: Male
Identity: Reserve Navy
attribute: physique 0.7
Strength 0.65
Agility Unknown
Intelligence Unknown
Skills: Unknown
This physique and strength data are consistent with years of orthodoxy Knight Cultivation’s apprenticeship is almost the same.
Alwin’s heart is clear, he’s another Innate Divine Strength guy, and he’s even more perverted than his first opponent, Billy the Bear.
Seeing how he couldn’t control his strength at all, Alwin knew that this guy’s strength was definitely innate. Don’t rely on systematic exercise cultivation like yourself, accumulate little by little to reach the current height, there are no uncontrollable problems.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t shake hands with others and I would be worried about hurting people.
“Sure enough, I should go out and see more.” Alwin sighed secretly.
After only a few days from leaving that little place in Leopold, I met so many powerful guys, and the days ahead must be exciting!
“My hand is fine, don’t worry about my strength. But you really have to be careful in the future, someone else might break it directly!”
He rushed forward indifferently. Gary smiled, Alwin’s face was a little strange, how could such a tall and stout person blush? It’s really strange.
“I’ll pay attention.” Touching the back of his head, this guy obviously has no confidence in his heart, and his voice to make a promise is extremely low.
“Let’s go, since we’re at the door, let’s go in and take a look!” Alwin stepped into the small courtyard first, walking along the long corridor full of shrubs on both sides to the depths of the courtyard.
In a few moments.
Alwin sat upright on the wooden chair, and the commander-in-chief in military uniform across from him quickly wrote something on the page in front of him.
“Name?”
“Alwin Garriott.”
“Age?”
“Fifteen.”
“Your name?” p>
He looked up at him and said nothing, the officer lowered his head and continued to fill in the form.
“Where is my hometown?”
“Leopold.”
“Do you have any specialties?”
“Sword technique also Yes, I have some knowledge of navigation and medicine.”
The officer made a clear expression, ended the question, and wrote his name at the bottom of the form, without asking if Alwin was literate. question, let him also write his name on the form.
“Take your things out!”
“What, oh, oh.” Although I don’t know why the officer knew about it, he remembered Viscount Andrea before he left. I asked him to obediently take out the so-called “letter of introduction”.
Seeing Alwin’s doubts, the officer rolled his eyes at him: “How much difference is there between you nobles and ordinary youngsters in terms of appearance and behavior, don’t you know?
Every day I want to dress as an ordinary person and make a career without relying on my family, don’t I know it will cause a lot of trouble to our work?”
