Chapter 777

Most of the area is located in the Eritrean sea with tropical marine climate, which is the second largest sea in the world after the Black Sea. It is also an important transportation hub for civilized countries to communicate with the peacock islands through the treasure sea.

Because of the climate, the sea area has a very long airworthiness season. In addition to the dangerous and stormy summer, there are a large number of merchant ships travelling between the East and the west of the mainland in other seasons.

Among them, hillius, who actually occupied peacock islands and monopolized local trade, was the most important.

Hoo!

There is no cloud in the sky. On the blue sea, there is a huge fleet, which is winding in three columns in the form of escort warships and large merchant ships.

The total number has reached a staggering 31, no less than the treasure fleet.

Most of these ocean going ships are flying the flame flag of the Silurian Empire, and you can still see the strong shadow of the first power of sea power.

However, in addition to the silurians, there were also many dark skinned, short, mostly dark brown, curly haired aborigines among the fleet's crew.

That's the native Negritos from the peacock islands.

On the surface, the peacock islands seem to be a whole, but it is only a general name of a series of native states on the peacock islands, only the race is not very different.

Most of them are employees of hillius Santa Babia, which is now in charge of the peacock islands. Of course, they are only the kind of handyman who is not much better than a slave and who doesn't have to pay for his accidental death.

Pop! Pop! Pop

The whiplash was ringing overhead.

"Come on, take advantage of the good weather and put all the spices on the deck to dry! If I find any mildew, I'll skin you

In the face of the shipowner of the hillius merchant ship with big arms and round waists, these dark Negritos were submissive, with no dissatisfaction on their faces, as if they had engraved obedience into their blood.

The truth is pretty much the same.

Because since 3000 years ago, the peacock islands have experienced at least nine invasions from the west, and also changed the owners of the nine waves, indirectly resulting in a comprehensive blend of blood, culture and belief.

Because of the unique geographical environment, it has created a relatively closed cultural environment and maintained a certain degree of independence.

It can be said that this is a nation that has been used to being ruled although it still maintains its own culture.

In the most mysterious peacock islands, the aborigines mainly believe in a series of gods, such as "Lord of war elephant" and "king of ivory throne" Lan tigos.

The Varna order, which is also composed of Vayu, pasheniya, APAs, agini, Suriya and other gods of nature, dominates the spiritual world of the Negritos.

But.

These primitive gods did not monopolize the belief in the peacock islands. They were from the same continent and had been infiltrated by the seven gods and various demigods for a long time.

Even the names mentioned above are not necessarily the waistcoats of the great gods.

There is another saying that the "peacock islands" is the "Museum of race and faith" of the whole human world, but the current secular ruler is undoubtedly the Santa Babia company jointly controlled by Philip II and the nineteen gentlemen.

Every year, they snatched a large amount of profits from here and sent them to hillius, which was one of the important roots to support the huge empire. Of course, now it has almost become the only root, and its importance is self-evident.

However, although these Negritos were submissive, they actually made great contributions to the modern enlightenment of science and technology in the old continent.

There is also a very mysterious legend about the source of their technology.

It is said that the first unified dynasty in this archipelago was the "Peacock Dynasty".

One day, while King Chandragupta was praying at the seaside, a golden box suddenly came out of the "storm belt" in the East and was picked up by the Kingdom's attendants and presented to the king.

Under the guidance of a wise man, King Chandragupta finally opened a treasure chest called "the golden box with purple lacquer inlaid with mother of Pearl and fish algae pattern" after a month of fasting and bathing.

Such primitive technologies as ceramics, silk, tea making, paper making, gunpowder, compass, etc., which have spread to modern times, all come from that treasure box and have a profound impact on the world's civilization in this era.

But since then, the peacock islands have never been completely unified. After thousands of years of wind, rain and war, until now, I don't know where to go.Even if the treasure chamber that came out of the "storm belt" really existed, only those endless native demigods knew.

All of a sudden.

Hum

All the busy people in the fleet didn't find it at all. At an altitude of 30000 meters, the pupils of a huge creature without body contracted slightly, quietly transmitting a deadly signal.

It's in the perspective of this gull elf.

Soon another fleet of all fast warships sprang out of the sea and plunged into the line of this fleet with the force of lightning, and launched an attack.

"Fire!"

On the gun position of the upper and lower double decker gun decks, the action of each gun group was uniform.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom

The orange red flame of the gun reddened the sea, and reddened the eyes of every Silurian.

During this time, these "Garriott heavy cruisers" equipped with 24 or 32 pounds of heavy artillery were like wolves waiting for the opportunity to ambush on the main routes of the Eritrean sea.

If they catch the chance, they will tear a piece of meat from the merchant ship of hillius. The larger the fleet, the more they like it.

Those who can beat them can't beat them, those who can beat them can't beat them, and of course more can't beat them.

At least two positions ahead of the yacht design concept, so that this broken cross fleet occupies a huge advantage.

"It's the haunting broken fleet again, damn tulip man, fight back!"

On the leading ship in the front of the fleet, a major general commander roared angrily.

A sea war began.

However, when the silurians fought back bravely, the Negritos on the ship had no sense of resistance and had already fled to the lower cabin.

The Greeks didn't expect them to help, or they didn't want the Negritos to step in.

After all, they have done some wonderful things, such as idling on the ship to go to the toilet, and finally the battleship was destroyed by dung. Can you believe that?!

Hillius' flagship "flying" welcomed its opponent. The commander's eyes were red and his voice was thunderous

"Damn tulip people, you dare to attack the imperial official fleet in a state of non war. You can't bear your Majesty's anger at all

A young major officer in "venom armour" and a bloody sword disdains to smile

"The emperor? As early as a year ago, the silurians were no longer qualified to speak to us from a commanding position! Catch the boat, grab the boat, kill me

They were just taking advantage of hillius' self-care to directly intervene in the war and completely cut off the last root that supported this huge empire, no matter what your emperor thought.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang

The sound of killing was loud and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.

After two hours of fighting, about half of the Silurian merchant ships were left here, except for those who scattered and fled.

When the soldiers clean the battlefield.

As a forerunner of boatswain, Elantra lifted the self-cleaning and spotless poison armour and sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.

After a short rest, a brass amulet with gear spring structure was pulled out from the neck, and a happy smile was on his face.

Apparently it was a farewell gift from the little alchemist Irina.

"Hey, Elantra, go on."

He reached out to catch a bottle of rum thrown by his captain. First, he put away the amulet like a baby, then he pulled out the cork and took a big gulp of it, spitting out a long breath of wine.

"It's a good harvest today. It won't take a few battles for your rank to be equal to that of a colonel like me."

Elantra smiles and touches him with the bottle:

"Captain, you're welcome. It doesn't matter whether you have a military rank or not. I just want to find a chance to temper myself."

The old captain couldn't help turning his eyes.

"First give me that [extraordinary armor], [bloody lake light] and all the amulets, and then say that again."

I don't want to discuss this kind of boring topic with a guy with a deep background and similar treatment to a prince.

Just looking at several supply ships coming from afar, I can't help feeling again:"If all the flying shear boats on the sea in the future, even our heavy cruisers may be able to retire, worthy of the goddess's beloved Lord St. Evan."

Whew! Whew! Whew!

In the distance came three large sea going ships with hollow bows, length width ratio greater than 6:1, and wide sails, just like flying close to the surface of the water. It was Elvin's "flying shear ship" that did not bring it to reality after finishing the design.

At present, no pirate ship in the world can catch up with its heel.

Even if it is a large "flying shear boat" that can run 12-14 knots with full load, it can be called the king of speed in the era of sailing!

Take traveling through the Black Sea as an example. It takes two months for others to use the ocean current, but it takes less than one month. The prosperity of sea trade is bound to greatly help the rise of the new world and the Principality of Galileo.

For the time being, it's only for military use, and the number of launches is not much.

But when they are really popular, they are enough to make pirate ships eat ashes directly in the back, indirectly ringing the death knell for the existence of this occupation.

In the future, when the steam armored ship is launched, the career of piracy will be the best.

Elvin: SA, anyway, labor and capital have washed their feet and landed. Who cares?
