Extraordinary Sailing

However, when everything seems to be ready, they embarrassingly discovered a new problem.

"The loot is too rich, more than two hundred people can't drive three warships, especially one of them!"

The sail system of sail warships in this era is complicated to operate, and it can't be started at all if there are fewer people. Even simple steering at sea requires the tacit cooperation of the rudder and the sail system. As long as there is a little misoperation, it will cause a very ugly scene.

Therefore, the feat of driving away a warship by two people, such as Jack Sparrow and William Turner, is simply a failure.

According to the normal staffing, the basic three shifts can be realized, and the normal standing staff of a standard fourth-tier battleship needs 350 people.

There is no way, counting all the sailors in hand now, with a bit of hard work, two shifts can be barely realized, and the other two warships can only lower their sails to be towed by the battleship.

In the absence of an emergency, the problem of one battleship dragging two battleships is not a big problem, and with the assistance of the "Cape Statue·Monsoon Goddess", it should not be much slower than normal navigation.

"Raise the sails!"

"Hey hey hey"

Soon the loud chants of the sailors sounded on the ship, and the crew worked together to raise the sails and start the big ship again.

The traction rope connected the "Storm Horn", "Conch" and "Thumb" into a line, and they sailed together to the east, that is, to the offshore direction.

After successfully killing Bassam, Aiwen's merits have accumulated to the point that it is completely unattainable for others. A stone fell from his heart, and he no longer cares much about hunting operations.

The crew of the original "Reef" on the ship were really envious. Their original warship was sunk by pirates. They wanted to return to the mainland on the ship of their colleagues, but they didn't expect to witness the arrival of the colleagues who rescued them in the blink of an eye. A Tier 4 battleship.

His colleagues, who were faintly lower than him, suddenly obtained the qualifications to enter the main battle line. In contrast, his group became stragglers who even lost their boats.

This 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 perform well on the ship. I hope that Captain Aiwen can say a few good words for himself and others at the headquarters when he returns to the fleet, so as to avoid the impact of being defeated and captured.

but.

The high-spirited fleet was forced to stop after sailing on the sea for less than half an hour.

"What's wrong?"

Before running up to the poop, Milan had already shouted to Ivan who had just given the order to brake the sailboat.

"See for yourself!"

In the telepathic connection, the seabirds looked down at the sea below.

Under the vast white clouds, there is a large piece of blue sea water, on which a large-scale fleet is slanting towards the south with full sails.

The snow-white sails are connected together, like white clouds falling on the sea, it is very spectacular!

A rough look shows that there are at least sixty sailboats. It is a huge fleet composed of more than fifty deep-draft merchant ships and ten large and small escort warships.

"What a big fleet!"

This sea area is called "Storm Point". Just by hearing the name, one knows that it is not a good place with a pleasant climate. It is its nature that the weather is unpredictable.

This complicated sea condition has a great impact on the vision of the watchmen and seabirds in the scouting network. The mist rising from the sea made Aiwen not discover this huge ship until the distance between the two was close to more than 20 kilometers. Team.

Although it is really rare to see a fleet of this size, it is not the reason for Ivan to order the ship to stop.

The point is the identity of this fleet!

The flagship headed by the escort fleet is at least a third-tier battleship in size. The bowsprit is covered with general flags, noble flags, and fleet flags of various colors. Doubtfully indicated their origin——

The Treasure Fleet of the Kingdom of Silius! ! !

"The all-seeing eye is on top! What kind of luck is it for us to encounter the Jumbo Fleet returning from the New World! Taking this route, did they veer due to an accident?"

Aiwen did not have the relaxed attitude of Milan giving advice. As it approached noon, the sudden sea fog swirled 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. Across dozens of kilometers, at the limit distance at which the watchmen can identify the flag with the help of tools, there are still many ships of different sizes that are difficult to identify.

This is not like a harmonious situation!

As the current overlord of the sea, Cyrus organizes two large-scale fleet voyages every spring and autumn to connect the vast colonies and the mainland.

When they set off, they carried local guns, linen and other goods to the major colonies. When they returned, they were full of gold, silver, precious stones, spices, tobacco, silk, etc., especially the gold and silver rich in overseas. The great pirates and enemy nations are all salivating.

Every time I return from the New World, there are countless eyeliners watching.

Hostile countries coveting this lucrative profit, powerful transnational organizations disguised as identities, famous big pirates, and even some daring little pirates like hyenas are all trying to take a bite out of this piece of fat.

In fact, in this dangerous sea, even the invincible Sirius fleet was not without destruction. Sudden storms, sea monsters, and powerful enemy attacks!

If you're lucky, even a little pirate doesn't have a chance.

Of course, their mentality is the same as that of gamblers, they hold down their chips, what if they stud?

The Cyrus navies who undertake the escort mission will naturally cheer up at this time. Although it is only a small fleet returning this time, the goods in it are also priceless, which is related to the kingdom's huge military expenditure this year. Every sign of trouble will arouse their highest level of vigilance!

Of course, as the defense force of the overlord fleet at sea, it is the greatest deterrent force in itself, and it is enough to deter the hungry wolves before irresistible external factors intervene.

Just like this escort fleet, in addition to the accompanying cruiser, it is led by a quasi-legendary battleship "Guardian of the Guards"!

Three decks, equipped with 70 shipboard guns, a fixed crew of 520, and a displacement of 1,500 tons, this is the most numerous main battleship in the series of naval battleships of various countries except for the fourth-tier ships that belong to the compromise plan.

This class of warship is the perfect combination of firepower, speed and cost in this era, not to mention it is a quasi-legendary warship with extraordinary power!

"Your Excellency, Commander! As in previous years, after we successfully left the open sea, prying eyes gradually increased along the way.

It's just that they wandered far away, hanging behind the fleet all the time, and it is not known whether there is an ambush behind them for the time being.

Do you think we are going to allow the cruiser to leave the team and go to expel these madmen at sea? "

The adjutant entered the captain's room of the flagship "Guardian of the Guards" and reported the latest information to the fleet commander, Viscount Lavender, the captain of the quasi-legendary battleship, and the great knight Lieutenant Admiral Adonis Auston.

The fleet commander, who was tall and burly but with a refined demeanor in his bones, did not express his opinion immediately after hearing the words. Instead, he looked at the other person in the room and asked in a very equal tone: "Mr. Anduen, what do you think?"

On the high-back chair was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and short white hair. His fair skin was well-groomed and his hands were crossed on his lap. Confined feeling.

Hearing Lieutenant General Oston's words, Anduin smiled slightly:

"It's safe to expel all of them, but as long as we see with our own eyes which uninvited guests have come, can't we make a decision later?"

He also has his own plan when he speaks.

Returning from the New World this time, I wanted to represent my school to meet His Majesty the King of Cyrus, the number one sea power, and seek some indescribable cooperation.

Although the power he possessed was unquestionable, he just took this opportunity to let this venerable vice admiral see his experience, and it would be good to increase the bargaining chip in the future negotiations a little bit.

"Oh? Do you want to go up to the lookout?"

Not quite understanding what Mr. Anduin meant, the general asked.

"Hehe, please look!"

Without trying to make a fuss, the man in black directly cut his finger, and a drop of blood spewed out.

tick-tick

However, this drop of blood did not fall to the ground, instead it melted into the air in front of the three of them, gently fading the bloody light like ink dripping into the water.

A few breaths have formed an oval half-length mirror without a frame.

And the picture shown in the mirror is the scene on the sea near the Grand Fleet, and it is also a 360-degree panoramic picture.

The sixty-five merchant ships and warships belonging to the fleet keep shrinking, and the area covered by the picture in the mirror keeps expanding, five kilometers, ten kilometers, fifteen kilometers

It gradually exceeded the range that the watchmen could observe with their naked eyes, and it was still expanding.

Suspicious ships that were sailing in sync with the fleet were completely exposed. Although I can't see too many details clearly, but according to the flags and ship styles on the ship, I can still distinguish the affiliation of each sea ship.

And whether there is a hidden fleet farther behind them.

"The 'Rainbow Trout' pirate group and the neighboring states of Akamodo are all small and insignificant characters.

There are two fifth-tier cruisers of the Sark Empire, a privateer warship of Atlan, and a fourth-tier battleship with black sails and the flag of Phalatis. Um, a fleet? "

The adjutant knew all about the forces, large and small, on the Black Sea, and he named all those who were a little bit famous, expressing undisguised amazement at the means of this mysterious figure.

As an experienced naval officer, how could he not know what this ability meant for sailing?

Predicting the enemy's first opportunity has allowed the fleet to gain an absolute advantage on the battlefield, not to mention

‘If you have this kind of ability, it is not a dream to achieve long-range precision strikes beyond visual range with the extraordinary ability of the Commander of the Guards! '

What he can think of, the general can naturally think of too.

Suppressing the wonder at this guest's miraculous means, he smiled and said, "Hahaha, Mr. Anduen is worthy of being the second seat of the Curse School! Today, I will pick two big fish and bleed them to scare those who dare to mess around in front of us. Jumping monkeys!"
