Chapter 225 Treasure Fleet
However, when everything seemed to be in place, they embarrassedly discovered a new problem .
“The spoils of war are too rich, more than 200 people can’t drive three warships, especially one battleship!”
The sail system control of the sail battleship in this era It is complicated, and it is simply impossible to start without personnel. Even simple sea steering requires the tacit cooperation of the rudder and the sail system. As long as there is a little operation error, it will cause a very ugly scene.
So, like Jack Sparrow and William Turner taking off a warship, it’s simply a no-brainer.
According to the normal personnel configuration, the basic three shifts can be realized, and the normal standing personnel of a standard Level 4 battleship needs 350 people.
There is no way to count all the sailors on hand. With a little hard work, I can barely achieve uninterrupted sailing in two shifts, while the other two warships can only lower their sails and let the battleships tow them.
In the absence of an emergency, the problem of one-to-two battleships is not a big problem, and with the assistance of “Ship Head Image·Monsoon Goddess”, it should not be much slower than normal sailing.
“Sail and sail!”
“hehehe”
Soon the horns of the sailors sounded loudly on board, and the crew worked with a common purpose Raise the sails and start the big thing again.
The “Cape Storm”, “Conch” and “Thumb” are connected by a haul rope, and they sail together to the east, that is, to the offshore direction.
Successfully killed Bassem, so that Alwin’s merits have accumulated to a point that is completely unattainable for others. A stone fell in his heart, and he did not pay much attention to the hunting action.
The crew members of the original “Reef” on the ship were really envious. Their original battleship was sunk by pirates, and they wanted to take a colleague’s ship to return to the mainland. Didn’t expect to witness this in a blink of an eye. Critic rescued his colleagues into a Level 4 battleship.
Colleagues, who were vaguely lower in status than themselves, were suddenly qualified to enter the main battle line. Skirmishers.
This kind of gap is difficult for those who have not experienced it to understand.
However, it’s too much to think about now. It’s better to behave well on the ship. I hope that Captain Alwin can say a few good words for himself and these people at the headquarters when he returns to the fleet, so as to avoid the influence of being defeated and captured.
However.
The high-spirited and vigorous fleet, riding the wind and waves, was forced to stop less than half an hour after driving on the sea.
“What’s wrong?”
deng deng deng
Before running up to the poop, Milan had already called to Alwin who had just given the order to brake the sailboat.
“See for yourself!”
In the mind connection, the seabirds’ vision looked towards the sea below.
Under the vast white clouds, there is a large piece of blue water, and a huge fleet on the sea is full of sails and slanted to the south.
The snow-white sails are connected together, like white clouds falling to the sea, which is very spectacular!
At a glance, there are at least sixty sailboats. It is a huge fleet composed of more than fifty merchant ships with extremely deep drafts and ten large and small escort warships.
“What a big fleet!”
This Sea Territory is called “Storm Cape”, and just from the name, I know it’s not a good place with a pleasant climate, and the weather doesn’t change much. Testing is its nature.
This complex sea condition has a great impact on the view of the seabirds in the watchers and the reconnaissance network. The rising mist on the sea surface made Alwin not realize until the distance between the two was close to more than 20 kilometers. for this huge fleet.
While a fleet of this size is rarely seen, it is also not a reason for Alwin’s order to stop the ship.
The point is the identity of this fleet!
The flagship headed by the escort fleet is also at least a Level 3 battleship. The bowsprit is covered with various colors of general flags, noble flags, and fleet flags, and all the warships behind it have flames on the main masts. The long flags of the pattern clearly indicate their origin –
The Treasure Fleet of Cyrus Kingdom! ! !
“The all-seeing eye is on top! How lucky are we to meet the Jumbo fleet returning from the new continent! Did they deviate accidentally on this route?”
p>
Alwin didn’t have the relaxed mentality of Milan’s guidance on the country. As it approached noon, the sudden sea fog swirled and disappeared, and his vision improved. He observed more and thought more.
In the reconnaissance network of the seabirds, far more than this fleet of treasures appeared on the sea. At a distance of dozens of kilometers, at the limit where the watchers can identify the flag with the help of tools, there are still many large and small ships whose identities are difficult to identify.
This doesn’t look like a harmonious situation!
As the current overlord of the sea, Cyrus will organize two large-scale fleet voyages every spring and autumn, connecting the vast colonies and the mainland.
When you set off, you will carry local guns, linen and other goods to the major colonies, and when you return, you will be full of gold, silver, precious stones, spices, tobacco, silk, etc., especially gold and silver produced overseas. Mainly, this makes all the great pirates and enemy nations at sea salivate.
Every time I return to a new continent, there are countless eyeliners glare like a tiger watching his prey.
The hostile countries that are greedy for this lucrative profit, the powerful multinational organizations that disguise their identities, the famous big pirates and even some daring little pirates like hyenas are all trying to bite off this fat meat. One bite.
In fact, on this dangerous sea, even the invincible Cyrus Great Fleet was not without destruction. Sudden storms, sea monsters, and sniping from powerful enemies!
If good luck, even a little pirate is not without a chance.
Of course they have the same mentality as gamblers, putting down their chips and in case of stud?
The Cyrus navies who undertake the escort mission will naturally be in good spirits at this time. Although this time it is only a small fleet, the goods in it are also invaluable and related to the kingdom. This year’s huge military expenditure, any trouble will cause their highest level of vigilance!
Of course, the defensive power of the hegemonic fleet at sea is itself the greatest deterrent. Before the irresistible external factors intervene, it is enough to discourage the hungry wolves who are stomach rumbling with hunger.
Just like this escort fleet, in addition to the accompanying cruisers, it is headed by a quasi-Legendary battleship “Guardian Commander”!
With three decks, equipped with 70 ship-borne artillery pieces, a crew of 520 people and a displacement of 1,500 tons, this is the main battleship with the largest number in the battleship sequence of various navies, except for the Level 4 ships that belong to the compromise plan.
This class of warships is the most perfect combination of firepower, speed and cost in this era, even more how this is a quasi-Legendary battleship with extraordinary power!
“Your Excellency Commander! As in previous years, after we successfully left the outer sea, our eyes gradually increased along the way.
It’s just that they are far away, and they have been Hanging behind the fleet, I don’t know if there are still ambush behind them.
Do you think we want to allow the cruise ship to leave the fleet and go to drive these madmen at sea?”
p>
The adjutant entered the captain’s room of the flagship “Guardian Commander” and reported the latest information to the fleet commander, Viscount Lavender, prospective Legendary battleship captain, and Lieutenant Admiral Adonis Auston of the Great Knight.
Tall and burly but with the elegant demeanor in the bones, the fleet commander heard this without immediately expressing his position. Instead, he looked towards another person in the room and asked in a very equal tone: “Mr. Andoun, what do you think?”
On the high-back chair is a man with short black robe white hair A middle age person, with fair skin and neatly groomed hands crossed on his lap, he did not feel restrained even when he was facing a transcender at the level of a fleet commander and Great Knight.
Hearing Lieutenant General Auston’s words, Anduen smiled slightly:
“Although it is safe to expel all, but as long as we see with our own eyes what uninvited guests have come, we will Isn’t it enough to make a decision?”
He also has his own plans when he speaks.
This time I returned from the new continent, and I wanted to represent my school to meet Your Majesty, the king of Cyrus, the first sea power, and seek some unspeakable cooperation.
Although there is no doubt about the power he possesses, it is good to take this opportunity to let this respected Vice Admiral gain insight and to increase his bargaining chips in the future.
“Oh? Do you want to go to the lookout?”
Not quite understanding what Mr. Anduin meant, the general asked.
“Hehe, please see!”
Without deliberately mystifying, the black robed man cut his finger directly, and a drop of blood popped out.
Tick-tick——
But the drop of blood did not fall to the ground, but melted into the air in front of the three people, like ink dripping into water, the blood was lightly dizzy. rays of light.
A few breaths have formed an oval bust mirror without borders.
And the picture displayed in the mirror is the scene on the sea near the Grand Fleet, and it is still a 360-degree panoramic picture.
The sixty-five merchant ships and battleships belonging to the fleet continue to shrink, and the scope of the mirror image continues to enlarge, five kilometers, ten kilometers, fifteen kilometers.
It gradually exceeds the lookout. The range that staff naked eyes can observe is still expanding.
Suspicious ships, keeping pace with fleet, are exposed. Although it is difficult to see the details, but according to the flags on the ships and the style of the ships, it is still possible to distinguish the power of each ship.
And were there hidden fleets beyond them.
“The ‘Rainbow Trout’ pirate group and the nearby Akamodo Zhou State are small characters.
There are two Level 5 ships of the Sark Empire. A cruiser, a privateer in Atlan, and a Level 4 battleship with both black sails and the Phaletis flag, um, a fleet?”
Adjutant to the Black Sea The powers of large and small are numerous, and those with a little bit of fame have been named by him one after another, with undisguised amazement at the methods of this mysterious person.
As a seasoned naval officer, how could he not know what this ability means to sailing?
It is expected that the enemy’s first opportunity has already allowed the fleet to gain an absolute battlefield advantage, even more how
‘If you have this ability, cooperate with the extraordinary ability of the Guard Commander to achieve super vision Long-range precision strikes from the distance are not a dream! ‘
What he can think of, the general can also think of.
Suppressing the surprise at the guest’s miraculous means, he said with a smile, “Hahaha, Mr. Anduen is indeed the second seat of the Cursing School! Today, I will pick two big fish to let blood, to scare them. Those monkeys who dare to jump in front of us!”
