Chapter 338 A month with unexpected visitors
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, the two battleships have been swimming around this Sea Territory for nearly a month.
Accidentally learned from the only one surviving pirate in this naval battle, “The Corrupt” Joe Bry, the reason for the unusual increase of pirates in this Sea Territory.
It turned out to be because one of the “Yellow Golden Sea Kings” took refuge in Cyrus.
They immediately recognized the seriousness of the matter. In a stalemate situation, any intervention of external force may break the deadlock.
It’s like your own tulip alliance, and it’s like this group of crazy pirates who follow “Oath-Breaker” Bradley.
Alwin and the others felt that the propaganda slogan that “after the founding of the country, everyone is a noble and everyone is a master” is too fake, big and empty.
After all, even in modern society, there is an objective phenomenon of “although everyone is equal, but some people are more equal”.
But the kind of extreme fanaticism they gave birth to is something that no one can ignore.
Alwin has immediately relayed this information back to Fort Dearborn, reminding the two bosses to strengthen their defenses.
Pirates leave the “yellow golden sea” that has been active all the time and go to the north, and they will inevitably pass through the territory of the Tulip Alliance.
It is simply unrealistic to expect this group of guys regardless of the law and of natural morality to keep their peace and to harass the colonies of Sark and Atlan.
Their own merchant ships in the nearby Sea Territory, and coastal cities in the colonies are all under threat.
At this time, it is only reasonable to stabilize your own backyard first.
However.
Alwin also had to sigh at Cyrus’ determination.
For the sake of that silver mine, even the pirates who normally would not be looking at them were sent to recruit security when their own side clearly had an advantage.
In order to quickly complete the strategic goal, at worst, it can buy time for the arrival of reinforcements from other colonies.
However, this move is indeed effective. These unorganized and undisciplined guys on the frontal battlefield are likely to fail the regular army, but when it comes to killing, arson, and sabotage, it is their old business.
Not to mention Sack and Atlan, even if a third party like himself is afraid of being affected by Chiyu, the forces that can be dispatched to support the two countries will inevitably be greatly reduced.
One plus one minus, the situation seems to be even more unfavorable for the fragile tripartite alliance.
The only good news is that in the shipwreck bay resolution, the two pirate kings of “yellow golden sea” could not reach an agreement, and whether to participate in this operation is entirely voluntary.
There are still a large number of pirates who are determined to stay in the “yellow golden sea” and choose to fight with Cyrus’ treasure to the end.
It’s just that after getting the information, whether the kingdom can make a fuss among the remaining pirates is not something that Alwin can care about for the time being.
It’s the most important thing to do your job well.
Although war is not a good thing, it is really related to one’s military merit and wealth.
During the month.
As long as the supply ships appearing in the sight of the seabirds, there is almost no chance to escape, even the folk merchant ships that are foreshadowed by Cyrus can’t escape Alwin’s “clutch” .
Sometimes even just one bottle of enhanced Sleeping Potions can knock them all down when they’re not looking.
When I woke up, not only the various cargoes on board were missing, but sometimes even the whole ship had been towed away, leaving only a group of crew members lying on the lifeboats resigned to their fate.
If it is a Cyrus soldier on a supply ship, it will only be more unlucky, and may never wake up after falling asleep.
Even if there is a battle, it is generally not too intense. Occasionally, some pirates with good strength are not their opponents at all, and they are directly sunk into the sea after the defeat.
Gradually.
The legend of the “ghost at sea” in the white fog began to spread among the survivors, and they could not see who the enemy was, where they came from, and how to attack
It can be said that after so much accumulation, The power in Alwin’s hands is too foul for an ordinary person or even a low-level transcender.
The supply line interception operation was very effective, the pressure on the two countries on the front line was slightly reduced, and it was finally relieved for the first time after the war.
Just that.
As time goes on, it’s getting harder and harder for Alwin and the others.
Because no matter how sluggish the Cyrus side was, something was wrong.
The supplies that made it to the front were far less than expected. Other supply ships either disappeared into the sea without a sound, or lost all their supplies and even the sailboats survived.
So after eating a cut, they assembled a group of supply ships and escorted them with a fleet to ensure smooth supply even if the progress of the war was delayed.
Otherwise, there would be no need to fight the front line, and all supplies would have to be captured by Sark and Atlan.
When facing the Cyrus army, Alwin and the others were in trouble. There were more than a dozen huge fleets including warships. Let’s not say whether they can beat them, even if they can beat them, it’s impossible. Guaranteed annihilation.
If the kingdom was exposed to Cyrus’ sight, it would be contrary to the original strategic intention of “doing it and standing up again”.
“Is this the only one today?”
Leaving the buffer zone between Tulip and the Sark Empire, two battleships and a merchant ship slowly moored at the The edge of an island off the coast of the Tulip Union.
“Be content! This month’s harvest is comparable to the amount of looting a big pirate can loot in two or three years. And the value of the goods is higher, medicines, ship materials, military supplies, ammunition, wine Most of them are of high quality.”
“That’s right! Now there are not many speculators who dare not act with the big army and want to get away with high profits.”
The officers on the ship were chatting in small groups. Although some people complained, they were all in a good mood.
By convention, the state of war in the open sea.
As the captain, Alwin can only get 1/4/2022 of the spills of war, and the officers and the technical backbone of the ship will share 1/4/2022, and 1/4/2022 will go to the Navy. Ministry, Ratings share the remaining 1/4/2022.
Especially before leaving, Lieutenant General Gustav promised that all the captured battle strength products will be owned by the officers and soldiers participating in the war, which means that everyone can get one more.
This month’s frequent looting income, even if it is divided into everyone’s hands, is a huge sum of money.
Even a few old officers who belonged to the Level 6 ship “Conch” on board had some wars in their hearts.
Having this money to retire directly is enough to become a rich man in peace and security. Is it necessary to continue to go in the wind and rain like this?
After all, my age is not too young, and I can’t keep up with the pace of this battleship.
Especially after Major Boris got on board, they have deeply realized how big the gap between them and a good naval officer is.
How could this battleship with boundless prospects have its own place if it weren’t for the qualifications?
At this time.
Suddenly flashing lights reminded them that they had work to do.
“Come on!”
taking advantage of the night When the visibility at sea was not high, two merchant ships approached in the distance.
After communicating with each other.
Wow woo woo
Bang——
The merchant ship, which was much smaller than the battleship, leaned lightly beside the “Cape of the Storm”.
This kind of thing has been done many times in the past month, and the crew members who have been familiar with it for a long time rushed forward and transported the supplies neatly.
Among them are the spills of war transferred from “Cape Storm”, and there are also various supplies from the merchant ship to “Cape Storm”.
Although guarding a supply line does not mean that the two battleships are fully self-sufficient.
For example, shells suitable for Level 4 ship-borne artillery calibers, various experimental materials for a wizard
In a frenzy over there.
According to the normal process, Alwin, who does not need to come forward, is studying various core witchcraft in the official wizard stage in his captain’s room.
The source of the wizard’s power is all kinds of knowledge after all. After completing the transformation of the official wizard and having the necessary foundation, Alwin quickly absorbs all kinds of mysterious knowledge that needs to be mastered at this stage like a sponge.
His strength has ushered in a period of rapid growth, and it can be said that every day is stronger than yesterday’s self!
Although it is far from fully mastering all the abilities that a “living school” wizard at this stage needs to master.
But the search for the Inheritance Secret Volume Second Volume that records “Flesh Puppet” has also been put on the agenda by him.
Although even without the knowledge of this branch, Alwin can also advance to the upper wizard by intensively researching the other two branches, which was the case with the original “serpentfolk” Heber Crete.
But if you want to advance to the third rank with the strongest attitude, the Second Volume of “Rite of Flesh” is essential.
And after losing some of the foundation and important knowledge, the final creation of the school, “Life Tree” or “Crown of Miracles”, which was originally difficult, has really become an illusion and a castle in the air.
Even if you have just advanced to the official wizard, the “representation of truth” that the crown wizard is qualified to pursue seems out of reach, but people always have to pursue something, don’t they?
dong! dong! dong!
Alwin didn’t expect, who was concentrating on researching new witchcraft. Today, in addition to the normal spills of war trade, he even welcomed a new one. unexpected guest.
Don’t need to see the person, he already knew who was coming, Alwin put a black iron-colored “acorn fruit” on the table with a string and hung it around his neck, He said:
“Please come in.”
“Your Excellency Captain, good evening!”
A colonial official with a round figure in formal clothes pushed The door came in, took off his hat and saluted Alwin.
“Good evening, Director Neicado! Why are you here today? Please take a seat!
It’s not because I heard that we got something good this time, Can’t wait? hahaha”
It’s not that Alwin is boasting. Although it took several days to seize a merchant ship this time, the cargo on board is very valuable. That is a batch of high-quality teak boat materials, and it is a first-class cherished resource no matter where it is placed.
All veteran sailors know that teak is actually the best shipbuilding material, but considering the cost and scarcity, even Cyrus, who has many gold and silver minerals, does not have the confidence to use teak to build it. whole ship.
Or even if you want to make it, there is not that much teak available.
At most, a part of teak is used as auxiliary material in the main battleship.
This supply merchant ship is also a fluke, thinking that its goal is small and it is not easy to be discovered. After delivering the goods to the front line, you can make a few more trips and make a lot of money. Didn’t expect to give it in the end Alwin made them a windfall.
Under the coordination of Fort Dearborn.
Recently helping the two battleships in the transfer of supplies was the East Lunch Company with an official background, and the Chief-In-Charge was undoubtedly Alwin’s old friend Necardo, the trade director.
“Hahaha, Your Excellency Captain, plentiful harvest, we followed suit and captured the spills of war of Cyrus and resold them to Sark and Atlan, who were on the front lines.
After this battle, although I haven’t seen any silver mine yet. But we have already made a lot of money!”
However, it is clear that the purpose of Necardo’s coming here today is not to Just for this extraordinarily valuable cargo.
After a little reminiscence.
He cautiously took a small crystal bottle from his close-fitting clothes and placed it very solemnly on the table in front of Alwin.
“Huh, the dust of Evil Spirit?!”
Alwin was slightly surprised when he saw that thing.
Looking up at Necardo and bowing with difficulty:
“Your Excellency Captain, I actually called for help today. You remember the Yuca we visited together. Tan tribe?”
