Chapter 323

Northeast new world, megacape.

It is close to the northern boundary of the Black Sea. In fact, it is not too far away from the "eternal white land" frozen all year round.

In this sea area.

The brado cold current from north to South and the westerly warm current from northeast meet at the sharp corner of the giant Cape, creating a huge natural fishing ground.

That scale is second to none even in the whole known world!

In particular, COD, the main fish consumed by people in the old world, is almost endless.

It was first discovered by the Explorer Capote of the kingdom of Atlantis, who described it in his diary:

"there are so many cod here that you don't need fishing nets. Just put a stone in the basket, sink it into the water and lift it up, and the basket will be full of fish."

"On the bright back of the COD, we can walk from the boat to the shore."

You can imagine how rich this fishing ground is!

Actually.

Although the sea is rich in products, it does not mean that the whole sea is full of fish.

Most of the fishing grounds are also due to the confluence of cold and warm currents, which stir up the current and bring the inorganic salts on the bottom of the sea to the surface, which makes plankton flourish and provides extremely rich food for fish.

And most of them are not too far from land.

If you are an ocean going sailor, you want to fish when you pass through the deep sea. No matter how lucky you are, you can only catch one or two strange deep-sea fish, which you may not have the courage to eat.

Near the Cape is a colony belonging to the kingdom of Atlantis, and this fishing ground is also regarded as a generous gift of "ice breath".

Backed by the extremely rich fishery resources here, their fishing boats return to the mainland with pickled and dried cod, so as to obtain huge economic returns.

Every year, there are at least hundreds of fishing boats and even whaling ships operating in this area. Just as fur industry means to tulip and Sark, fishing industry is also the pillar industry of atlas in the new world.

But next to two covetous neighbors.

This fishing ground has also become one of the sources of continuous disputes among the three forces.

But today.

Compared with fishing boats and whaling ships, two exploration ships rarely seen in this area intruded here very suddenly.

Adventure ships built for speed are very recognizable.

The hull is relatively long and narrow, and the length width ratio is almost 6:1. The hull is relatively low and equipped with wing sails. The speed of running on the sea is much faster than that of ordinary fishing boats and merchant ships.

"Lord Daos, from the chart, we are about to approach the legendary island of Potosi."

Behind the dolphin shaped bow of the exploration ship, led by a tall middle-aged man, there are three "explorers" gathered to study the chart.

Although the two ships are flying the Tomahawk snowflake flag belonging to the kingdom of Atlantis, the people on the ship speak Silurian.

Combined with what they call "Potosi island", it is obvious that they are the Silurian treasure ship that set out from the old world earlier than Elvin!

Follow the tradition of hillius.

Their warships usually have two top commanders, one is the navy commander and the other is the army commander.

However, most of the time, the army commander is the one with the highest status on board.

It's not that they're stupid enough to command the experts.

It's because the best tactics of the fleet itself, or the unparalleled tactics in the world, is "port to port"!

It is claimed that no one can resist the blade of the hillius soldiers as long as they are on board at sea.

So.

As the proposer of the concept of battleship, he is also the builder of the first battleship.

Even if there is no industrial or even handicraft foundation, the ship structure, canvas and gun casting technology have gradually lagged behind the rising stars such as faletis in recent decades.

It's nothing to them.

Because, as long as there are invincible Marines, it's enough!

Moreover, the Marine Corps can ensure the capture of personnel, materials, ships and weapons to the maximum extent. The "greedy" hillius do not want to let go of any spoils.

At this time, even in the so-called "exploration ship" is no exception.

This is the deployment of a part of the elite army, plus a part of the experienced exploration crew, jointly formed this expedition.

Among them, Brigadier General d'aos from the Royal Army is the leader, and he is also a real third-order Knight!

Together with the Royal Marines under his command, they constitute the strongest force guarantee in the expedition fleet.

"Well, be careful.

Our mission this time is the top secret of the kingdom. If there is any information about it. Neither you nor I can afford the consequences, understand? ""Don't worry, my Lord. Our navigator has been to and fro the Cape more than ten times. Along the way, he has avoided the main routes and fishing grounds frequented by fishing boats, and will not be found by others."

"It's better."

The three men in the bow, the great Knight Daos, Captain victor and captain Locke, are the only three people in the whole team who know the destination and the real mission of this trip.

But they have also paid a price for secrecy.

While bypassing the outer part of the summers trench occupied by the "mother of sea monsters", he unfortunately encountered a cunning large sea monster.

Even as the leader of the expedition fleet, the great Knight Daos struggled with it with all his strength. One of the expedition ships was caught off guard and was suddenly attacked by the huge shadow under the water and directly dragged into the sea.

When they set out, there were three exploration ships with 500 crew members. When they arrived at their destination, there were only two ships with 386 crew members left.

Even after the emergency repair, we can still see the huge round scar left on the body, which is a souvenir left for them by the strong tentacles of sea monsters.

But in the eyes of the three leaders, it's all worth it.

After more than two months of hard sailing, they finally arrived at Potosi, the silver island marked on the chart!

"I've seen the landmarks, past this crescent reef that protrudes out of the sea.

Then correct two compass points to the right. About 20 nautical miles more, we can really enter the area of Potosi island

After the last course adjustment.

There was no accident in the middle. After more than two hours, they arrived at a sea full of fog.

Although they could not see the island hidden in the fog, they knew that the destination of the trip was close at hand.

"From here on, we can't go on big ships, even though the exploration team of the Netherland bank group discovered it.

But there's no time to find a waterway from this place full of fog and reefs that can allow seagoing ships to pass smoothly.

So we have to take a long boat to the island

Captain Locke has already been familiar with chart research. Just after arriving at the periphery of the island chain, he has timely reminded the two commanders.

BAM... BAM... BAM...

the two "exploration ships" both launched long boats and sent fully armed vanguard troops into the fog. The commanders of the expedition did not forget that in the intelligence of the bank regiment, there were a group of aborigines who had escaped from the island.

If time permits, these armed to the teeth of the Marines, do not mind with their guns and knives, the island completely into a part of the territory of hillius!

Time is fast.

Except for the necessary left behind personnel, most of them, including the three informed officers, boarded the island and... Easily found the silver mine they had dreamed of!

Or it's hard to find out.

"The eternal fire is on the earth! This is a silver mountain at all! "

Yes, in their eyes, this is indeed a silver mountain.

Especially in the afternoon when the sun is the best, climb a high mountain top and look up.

The sunlight through the fog sets off many places in the mountains as white as snow. At first, it looks like a lake, and then it knows that it is the silver mine they are looking for.

Even give them an illusion, as long as you peel off the stone of the mountain, the bottom will be full of silver deposits!

No matter a few officers or hundreds of soldiers, they were shocked by the scene.

Especially a few officers who knew.

They came with the king's orders. At first, they thought that the prospecting report of the bank group was exaggerating. Now it seems that my vision has limited my imagination. It turns out that there is a real silver mountain in the world!

After a simple probe.

They have determined that the island chain consists of five islands not far apart, three of which have conical "silver mountains"!

Although the explorers on board have identified these as active volcanoes that may erupt again in the future, it does not prevent them from carrying out large-scale silver mining at this stage.

"Because of the confluence of cold and warm currents in the nearby sea area, the sea area is covered by fog all the year round. In addition, it is not in any major channel, and there is no fish gathering nearby.

Although it is only a few hundred kilometers away from the coastline, the development of the new world has lasted for hundreds of years. Baiyin Island, surrounded by reefs, is completely virgin land. "

The old scholar who has participated in the mining of several gold and silver mines in the south of the new world exclaimed excitedly:

"a large part of the silver deposits are exposed outside, so there is no need to mine at all, just pick them up! It's the largest silver mine I've ever seen. It's an infinite treasure given to hillius by the eternal fire

However, the ownership of the island does not belong to them for the time being.In the process of exploring the island, they also found the group of indigenous Atleans hiding here.

In a small village already surrounded by fierce soldiers.

The men, the shivering women, the frightened children and the despairing old people who tried to resist the beating have been gathered under the colorful totem pole in the center of the village.

"You've taken our homes and our hunting grounds!

We've all been hiding on a remote island. Why don't you blondes let us go? "

Wearing a feather crown and an eagle's black feather, the old man, who represents his leader status, holds a wooden staff wrapped with ribbons in his hand, and his face is full of grief and indignation. He makes a bloody accusation against these "butchers" who have invaded his home again and again:

"we come here across the sea in a leather boat. There are dozens of people who died of kayak capsizing. Now even the children born here have not grown up!

Why? Why?

Wuhao, the God in charge of death, can't wait for your people to accompany you in "mitt"? God

The old man spoke some strange atlaic, obviously taking them as the atlanians who drove them out of their original homes, but these hillius soldiers did not argue.

The great Knight Daos waved his hand dully, which he had heard many times in the middle and south of the mainland, and could not make any waves in his heart.

Bang! Bang! Bang! ...

the soldiers surrounded by them have pulled out their long knives and rushed up.

"Ah -"

"damned devil!"

"No

In a short period of time, the last survivors of the tribe have completely become the past.

Before being cut down by a soldier.

As the leader of the tribe, the old man shed tears in his eyes, raised his cane, pointed to the leading Knight Daos, and roared with all his strength:

"I curse you in the name of the soul of the ancestors of the dreppe tribe and the God of death, uhao!

Curse you butchers, no one will be able to return to your hometown alive!

I curse... "

CLICK!

Bang -

before he finished speaking, a young soldier had cut off his head, and the body fell to the ground.

At the same time, the knight cut off the totem pole in the middle of the village, which was mainly composed of Black Hawk and human face, and turned to sneer:

"are you stupid enough to curse a knight?

And every time I kill a tribe, I will be cursed. If the curse really works, why is it that we, hillius, rule this continent? "

As usual, nothing happened and no one took the old man's curse to heart.

The burly knight, Daos, turned to the soldiers who were searching for the spoils and said:

"send messages to the native and our nevidad castle in the new world respectively, informing us of the authenticity of this silver island.

Now!

At the same time, we must build a camp of sufficient scale in the shortest time to prepare for the subsequent silver mining of the kingdom.

From now on, two people will act together. Without my command, we can't have any contact with the outside world! "

"Yes, my Lord!"

The soldiers should be in unison.

Later, they impolitely occupied the aborigines' houses and began to expand the camp.

However.

It's just less than half a day, even before the sun sets.

The crew on the outer ship gave the commanders two pieces of bad news.

First, they captured a spy of the Sark empire. Although he caught him, the terns he released were not intercepted.

Second, in the distant sea, three warships belonging to Atlantis have arrived.

They can't understand why it was a well planned secret operation, but it was made like a bamboo screen, and it was leaking everywhere.

Even though the Knights' eyes, like a knife, scan all the soldiers in the line again and again, he knows that the news has been completely exposed and there is no room for recovery!
