Chapter 339 Level 3 ship “Stelenburg”!
The luminous dust that floats in the bottle is the “Evil Spirit Dust” that Alwin had ever wanted.
However, just two months ago, I got a part by chance in the indigenous Yucatan tribe, and it didn’t take long for another one to appear.
Even if the new continent is rich in all kinds of Spirit Physique, it shouldn’t be so casual, right?
And listening to Necardo’s tone, it seems that the bottle of “Dust of Evil Spirit” is also from which tribe?
“Your Excellency Captain, I feel like we are in trouble.
I don’t know why, some time ago, when our people went to trade with them again with the goods, they found that The entire camp of the Yucatan tribe is empty.
Not even leaving us any information, only found this in the longhouse of the tribe leader Apsova.
Because you got something similar last time after you killed Evil Spirit ‘Pocatello’, I want you to see if you have any clues.”
while saying Necardo was also a little worried, as the Yucatan tribe was related to the supply of a considerable part of their fur trade.
Now that I leave without saying goodbye, how will my fur trade continue?
Hearing him Alwin didn’t immediately investigate what was so special about that bottle of “dust of Evil Spirit”, but instead lit up all the chimes planted in the captain’s room.
After staring at Necardo’s haggard face for a while, brows slightly wrinkle asked:
“Mr. Director, have you been sleeping poorly recently? , and often hear some unfathomable mystery?”
Alwin was a little nervous when he saw it, he took out his handkerchief and wiped his face, some were not sure:
“It seems Yes, I’ve been feeling a little heavy in my neck recently.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been too tired recently, and I’ve encountered such a strange thing again. It’s normal to have a bad rest.
In my department There are also several company employees who are exhausted and even called for sick leave.
It’s not as good as mine! hahaha”
Alwin heard his narration. I have confirmed my guess.
Suddenly he reached out and snapped his fingers.
Crack—
crackle
Negado immediately trembled, his body crackled like an electric shock, and his hair stood on end.
“Captain Alwin, what is this for?”
The numb tongue hasn’t been straightened yet.
Ah—!
A shrill, short scream resounded in the captain’s cabin, then disappeared instantly.
“Something that wasn’t quite clean is okay now.
A piece of advice, don’t worry about your fur.
May be A guy more powerful than the bereaved Evil Spirit ‘Pocatello’ has been to the Yucatan tribe.
Just a little breath on it has this level, and if you want to pursue it, maybe it’s true It will kill you.
Go to the church and ask a priest of at least the level of a dean to do a ceremony for everyone who has been to the Yucatan tribe.”
“A more terrifying Evil Spirit?”
Negado, who finally realized what Alwin had just done, couldn’t help but shivered.
While his face turned paler, he no longer dared to mention the word Yucatan tribe.
After several ships have completed the transfer of supplies.
Watch the three merchant ships and the preoccupied Necardo leave in a hurry.
Alwin looked at the bottle of “Evil Spirit Dust” he had exchanged with Necardo for several “Silver Amulet”, and he felt that things might be a little tricky.
In the fur trade, it is not only the East Lunch company that is the beneficiary, but the win-win cooperation between Yucatan and East Lunch.
If it was the Yucatan tribe who defeated the more powerful “Evil Spirit” and left calmly, it must not have left any information.
From the clues we have now, the situation of the Yucatan tribe is obviously not very good.
However.
This news has no effect on Alwin for the time being. He has no interest in Yucatan and lacks motivation to investigate the follow-up truth.
Especially now that I have a mission, at least until the Potosi Silver Mine decides to belong, or until I get an order from the upper management, it is impossible to get out and do other things.
The duration of the “Silver War” is now beyond the control of anyone, including the upper-level great characters of various countries who made the decision to “open the war”.
For the time being, I can only silently hope that Necardo can find a new source of goods as soon as possible, or form its own hunting team like the North West Leather Goods Company.
After the last spills of war transaction.
The days that allow Alwin to do his witchcraft research at his leisure are few days away.
The two battleships “Cape Storm” and “Endeavour”, which had been swimming near the supply line, finally welcomed the first support fleet from other colonies of Cyrus.
At the same time, it has finally ushered in its biggest challenge, and it is also the first head-to-head battle with the most powerful navy in this world.
“Attention all units! New targets appear, prepare for battle!”
After looking at the aggressive and powerful fleet two hundred kilometers away, after repeated investigations to determine the opponent’s strength, this time They didn’t choose to back off.
Although impossible is easy, but after weighing it with the officers on board and the “Endeavour”, they all feel that it can be fought!
As soldiers in the rising period of the country, they are inherently impossible and afraid of war.
And if they can kill or capture this fleet, even if the “Silver War” related to the wealth of the sky is lost in the end, their credit can’t be erased!
Finally, Alwin, who is the commander of the fleet, gave the order:
“Fuck him!”
The new continent is a bottle gourd with the longest north and south poles, and the thinnest in the middle. The area is less than 700 kilometers, known as the Balboa Isthmus, which consists of rainforest, mountain range, inland sea, and river channels.
However, even in the middle of this complex terrain, there is no way for ships to pass through, and it is impossible to connect the east and west coasts.
The colonies of Cyrus were mostly located on the west coast of the continent.
Usually, they usually transport the gold and silver produced by the Secret Dragon and New Cyrus by sea to the city of Balboa on the side of the Broken Star Sea.
It is then transported by mules and horses through the tropical jungles of the Isthmus of Balboa, transported to the port of Dios on the side of the yellow golden sea, and then shipped back to China by sea.
The goods are okay to say.
However, if the fleet of ships wants to come from the west coast of the new continent to the east coast, they can only pass through the vast sea through the southernmost Cape Froward, and detour a little bit along the coastline of the new continent.
A fleet sent from the far north of the Viceroyalty of New Cyrus, and even from the nearest Viceroyalty of New Granada.
It also takes two full months to bypass the entire southern part of the new continent to the “yellow golden sea” Fort Navidad.
This is also the closest naval base in Cyrus to the Potosi silver mines.
The second closest distance is actually the farthest away, located in the vice-king district of La Plata, the southernmost part of the new continent.
Although part of this colony is on the shore of the Eastern Sea, it will take about a month for the reinforcements to sail to the “Yellow Golden Sea”, and it will take another 20 days to depart from the Yellow Golden Sea.
So after a full month of blockade operations from the sea supply line, Alwin and the others finally ushered in an aid fleet that came all the way from the vice-king district of La Plata.
In fact, if it wasn’t for the accidental information leak of the vanguard, they wouldn’t have to mobilize their forces in such a hurry.
After setting up an outpost on Potosí Island, you can calmly arrange your military force, and then combine the forces of the four vice-king districts to crush it.
It is because of the accidental exposure of Silver Island that infinite variables have been added, which has drawn this “Silver War” into a stalemate confrontation.
Alwin also gave them a chance to fish in troubled waters.
A group of officers in neat naval uniforms have come upstairs en masse for a pre-war meeting.
“There is actually a Level 3 ship of Cyrus?
Your Excellency Captain! Regular battle strength is not a problem.
But according to Cyrus’s Traditionally, large-scale battleships such as Level 3 ships are generally equipped with priests of the ‘Fire of Eternal’ church.
At critical moments, priests may also provide Various spell countermeasures, we must be careful.”
Boris, who has been fully integrated into the “Cape Storm”, has the special authority that Alwin opened for him, and has powerful intelligence capabilities on this ship. Has been used with ease.
Immediately after seeing the other side, I have proposed to Alwin the most likely part of the ambush battle based on my own experience.
“Okay, I got it!”
Did not ask how Boris got this experience, frontal battle, camouflaged privateer fleet serving twenty years in the new continent Time has too many possibilities for conflict.
After hearing his advice, Alwin could only be eager to have a try.
Gently rubbed the “oak fruit” on his neck. Of course, Spell’s opponent could only be Spell. It was time to verify his research results during this period.
Distant, Cyrus Fleet, flagship “Sndenburg”.
“Your Excellency Captain! Why don’t we wait for the supply fleet of Fort Navidad to set off together?
The front line is not sending back information that this Sea Territory is not peaceful recently, small Are many of the supply fleets missing?”
In the captain’s room of the flagship and pilot ship ‘Stelenberg’, two officers and a saint in a white-grounded red-edged robe The staff sat around the command table and looked at the chart on the table.
The priest with wavy hair and short beard asked suddenly.
“Master Edmund, please rest assured that there will be no accidents.
What’s missing are supply ships and merchant ships with little battle strength, the so-called ‘ghosts at sea’ ‘It’s just a gimmick from Sack or Atlan.
Maybe there are some overlooked guys doing the trick.
But any crafty plots and machinations There is no meaning in the face of absolute strength, with this Level 3 battleship ‘Stardenburg’ any enemy will only be directly crushed.”
Captain Colonel Stanley looked at the side and actually The supreme commander, Colonel Reynolds Class of the Army, explained it to the servant of the “Fire of Eternal” with great ease.
“And as far as I know, those restless countries have not built a few Level 3 battleships in the entire new continent, for fear that the kingdom will not be pleasing to the eye and give away the family property they have managed to save up. Enter seabed.
Unless they send out a ‘quasi-Legendary’ to start a complete national war, no one will be our opponent!”
Although this is a bit proud, they do have Proud confidence.
At this time, he has a total of four warships under his command.
In the military configuration of the new continent, it is almost already the most powerful Level 3 battleship under the quasi-Legendary – “Stelenberg”, and three fully armed Level 5 cruisers ship.
In particular, the “Stelenburg” is a large ship with 74 ship-borne artillery, a total of: 28 32-pounder guns, 30 24-pounder guns, 16 9-pounder guns .
With a capacity of 680 people and a displacement of 2950 tons, it is also the main battleship among the naval battleships. It is the most perfect combination of firepower, speed and cost in this era, and it is the backbone of the battle line.
Different from the compromise model of the Level 4 ship, the Level 3 ship is the ultimate weapon to suppress sea power, and it is also one of the foundations of a country’s naval power.
And because of Cyrus’s customary naval tactics, their battleships were far wider, longer, and larger than those of other nations, with extraordinary stability.
Like a mobile fortress on the sea, it is condescending and has incomparable combat advantages.
If anyone wants to attack them, they must first capture a huge sea fort.
“even more how, even if there really is a ‘ghost of the sea’, isn’t there still you, the servant of the ‘Fire of Eternal’. I believe that in your flames, any evil is Will be cleansed!”
“This is the power of God! The flame protects the world. Those who stand in the light will never be harmed by evil!”
Eye Demond crossed his hands on his chest and devoutly preached the prayer of the “Fire of Eternal” church.
The two officers looked at each other while crossing their hands and chanting aloud:
“The flames cleanse our souls!”
