Chapter 225

However, when everything seems to be ready, they are embarrassed to find a new problem.

"The spoils are too rich for more than 200 people to drive three warships, especially one of them!"

In this era, the sail system of the sail warship is complex to operate, and it can't start with fewer 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, the feat of Jack Sparrow and William Turner driving away a warship is simply hanging up.

According to the normal personnel allocation, to achieve the basic three shifts, a standard class IV battleship needs 350 normal standing personnel.

There's no way. If we take all the sailors in hand into account, we can barely achieve two shifts of uninterrupted navigation, while the other two warships can only lower their sails and let the battleships drive.

It is not a big problem for a battleship to tow two ships in case of no emergency. With the assistance of "bow statue · goddess of monsoon", it should not be much slower than the normal navigation.

"Set sail!"

"Hey... Hey... Hey"

soon, the sailors sounded loudly, and the crew worked together to raise the sails and start the big ship again.

The hauling rope connected the "storm horn", "conch" and "thumb" into a line, heading east, that is, offshore.

The successful killing of bartham has made Elvin's merits totally beyond other people's reach. He has a stone in his heart and has not paid much attention to hunting.

The crew of the original "reef" on board were envious. Their original warship was sunk by pirates. They wanted to return to the mainland with their colleagues' ships. Unexpectedly, they witnessed the rescue of their colleagues and settled in a class IV battleship.

My colleagues, who had been in a lower position than myself, got the qualification to enter the main battle line at once. In contrast, my group of people became the scattered soldiers who lost even the boat.

This gap is difficult for those who have not experienced it.

But it's too much to think about now. It's better to perform well on the ship. I hope captain Elvin can say a few good words for these people in the headquarters when he returns to the fleet, so as to avoid the influence of being defeated and captured.

However.

In less than half an hour, the high spirited fleet was forced to stop.

"What's the matter?"

Step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on, step on.

"See for yourself!"

In the spiritual connection, the seabirds can see the sea below.

Under the vast white clouds, is a large blue sea, on the sea a large fleet is full of sails, obliquely inserted to the south.

The white sails joined together, like white clouds falling on the sea, very spectacular!

At first glance, there are at least 60 sailboats. It is a huge fleet composed of more than 50 deep draft merchant ships and 10 escort warships.

"What a big fleet!"

Although a fleet of this size is rare, it is not the reason why Elvin ordered the ship to stop.

The point is the identity of this fleet!

The flagship headed by the escort fleet is at least a class III battleship, with various general flags, noble flags and fleet flags hanging on the head swash mast. The long streamer with flame pattern on the main mast of all the warships behind it undoubtedly shows their origin -

the treasure fleet of the Kingdom of Sirius!!!

"All eyes are up! What's our luck that we met the treasure fleet returning from the new world! On this route, did they deviate by accident? "

However, Elvin does not have Milan's relaxed attitude to guide Jiangshan. He observes more and thinks more.

In the detection network of seabirds, this treasure fleet is far from the only one on the sea. With the help of tools, the watchman can identify the flag within the limit distance of tens of kilometers, and he is also far away from many ships of different sizes.

It's not like a harmonious situation!

As the current maritime overlord, hillius organizes two large-scale fleet voyages every spring and autumn to connect the vast colony and the mainland.

When they set out, they carried local guns, linen and other goods to the major colonies. When they returned, they were loaded with gold and silver, precious stones, spices, tobacco, silk and so on, especially the gold and silver rich overseas, which made all the big pirates and enemy countries salivate.

look at fiercely as a tiger does not return home from the new world.

Hostile countries greedy for this huge profit, powerful transnational organizations disguised their identities, famous big pirates, and even some brave little pirates like hyenas are trying to take a bite on this fat meat.In fact, in this dangerous sea, even the invincible fleet of hillius has not been destroyed. Sudden storm, sea monster, strong enemy's sniper!

If you're lucky, even the little pirates don't have a chance.

Of course, they have the same mentality as gamblers. What if they have a Soha?

The Marines of hillius, who undertake the escort mission, will naturally work hard at this time. Although it is only a small fleet returning this time, the goods in it are of great value, which is related to the huge military expenditure of the Kingdom this year. Any disturbance will arouse their highest level vigilance!

Of course, as the defense force of the dominant fleet at sea, it is the biggest deterrent force in itself. Before the intervention of irresistible external factors, it is enough to make hungry wolves flinch.

Just like this convoy, in addition to the accompanying cruise ships, the leader is a quasi legendary warship "Guard commander"!

With three decks, 70 shipborne guns, 520 personnel and 1500 tons of displacement, this is the largest number of main battleships in the naval battleship series of various countries, except for the fourth class ships which belong to the compromise scheme.

This class of warship is the most perfect combination of firepower, speed and cost in this era. What's more, it is a quasi legendary warship with unconventional power!

"Commander! As in previous years, after we successfully left the open sea, our peeping eyes gradually increased.

It's just that they are far away, hanging behind the fleet all the time. I don't know if there is any ambush behind them.

Do you think we should allow the cruisers to leave the fleet and sail on their own to expel these sea crazies

The adjutant entered the captain's room of the flagship "kingguard command" and reported the latest information to the fleet commander, viscount lavender, the captain of the quasi legendary warship and the knight lieutenant general Adonis Osten.

Tall and burly, the admiral of the fleet didn't express his position at the first time. Instead, he looked at another person in the room and asked in a very equal tone, "what do you think, Mr. Andun?"

On the high back chair is a middle-aged man with black robe and short white hair. His skin is white and tidy, and his hands are crossed on his legs. Even if he is facing a fleet commander and a knight, he doesn't feel constrained.

After hearing what lieutenant general Auston said, Anton said with a smile:

"it's safe to expel all of them, but as long as we see with our own eyes which uninvited guests are coming, then we can make a decision?"

He has his own plan when he talks.

The purpose of this return from the new world was to meet his Majesty the king of hillius, the first maritime power, on behalf of his own school, and seek some unspeakable cooperation.

Although there is no doubt about his own strength, it's good to take this opportunity to give the Admiral a little insight and increase his bargaining chips in the future negotiations.

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

I don't quite understand Mr. Andun, the general asked.

"Ha ha, please look!"

He didn't mean to make a mystery. The black robed man cut his finger and spat out a drop of blood.

Ticking -

however, this drop of blood did not fall to the ground. Instead, it melted into the air in front of the three people, like ink dripping into the water, and fainted the blood light.

After a few breaths, an oval bust without a frame has been formed.

And the image in the mirror is the scene on the sea near the fleet, and it is 360 degree panoramic image.

The 65 merchant ships and warships belonging to the fleet are constantly shrinking, and the scope of the picture in the mirror is constantly enlarging, with the scope of 5km, 10km and 15km...

gradually surpassing the scope that can be observed by the naked eye of the lookout, and is still expanding.

A suspicious looking ship keeping pace with the fleet was completely exposed. Although we can't see too much detail, we can still distinguish the ownership and influence of each ship according to the flag and style of the ship.

And... Is there a hidden fleet farther behind them.

"The rainbow trout Pirate Group, the nearby state of akamodo... Are small characters with little weight.

Over there are two class five Cruisers from the Sark Empire, a privateer from Atlantis... And a class four battleship with black sails and the faletis flag. Well, it's a fleet? "

The adjutant was very familiar with the influence of the Black Sea. He named all the slightly famous ones one by one. In his words, he was absolutely amazed at the mysterious figure's means.

As an experienced naval officer, how can he not know what this ability means to navigation?

Anticipating the enemy's initiative has enabled the fleet to gain absolute battlefield advantage, not to mention...

"if we have this ability, combined with the extraordinary ability of the close guard command, it is not a dream to achieve long-range precision strike beyond visual range!"What he could think of, the general would have thought of it.

He said with a smile: "ha ha, Mr. Andun is worthy of the second place of the curse school! Today, I'll take two big fish and bleed them to scare the monkeys who dare to jump in front of us! "
