Vol 6 Chapter 161

Name:The Amber Sword Author:Fei Yan
When Brando returned to the top deck, the ship was sailing out of the waterway between Tyved Island and Gussel Port. The two boats in front of Targus also slowed down, waiting for them to follow On one side of the sea is the strange rock of Tyved Island, which looks pale as phosphorous in the moonlight. The wind blows from the south of Güsel. The hull sways slightly with the waves. As Timis passes through the clouds, the sea surface The visibility on the sky is extremely high, and he can clearly see that the fog wall on the sea east of the Luan Strait is moving slowly.

There seemed to be countless ships in the thick and dense fog, and there was a wall between them, such as the mast of a forest looming. I don't know that there were hundreds or thousands of ships in it. What made him look a bit ugly was that the mist was slowly approaching the west coast of the Luan Strait, that is, the direction they were in, and it seemed to merge with the mist that had pervaded from the port of Güsel.

It didn't matter at all, but the problem was that their three boats were exactly in the middle.

There was silence on the deck at this time, and those who were still celebrating were dumb at the moment. If they still had confidence to pass through the mist in the port of Güsser, but the fog wall in front of them was unknown for hundreds of miles. On both sides of the wide sea, you can't see both sides, you can't get around.

When Brando followed Delphin and Instaron, everyone gazed at him subconsciously. He had previously taken them out of the Güsel Bay, and everyone was subconsciously clothing them. Lando regarded the man who had a solution to the trouble at hand.

But Brando had no idea at this time. He looked calmly at the wall of clouds moving slowly on the sea, and he couldn't help his mind. Although Targus once let a ship enter the mist, the ship returned to the same path afterwards, and seemed to be unaffected. . But the state of the mist at that time was not the same as it is now.

As for going around, it was even a joke. The mist began to appear from Rosalin. They had not seen their heads after traveling north for three days. Who knows where the other end is.

However, the mist from the port of Güsser is chasing from the water channel behind it, and what can be done now seems to be to continue northward.

If that doesn't work, you can only abandon the ship and land. It is unlikely that this mist will go too far into the land. Although the ports along the coast have suffered, there is always a safe place inland.

It depends if they can go that far in a short time and get out of the mist.

"What terrain is there in the north, is there a place suitable for landing, is it better to have a sheltered harbor, and nearby terrain such as mountains or hills?" Thinking of this, Brando turned his head and asked.

Instaron thought about it. Answered: "Yes, yes, but there are places like this that have become ports, Lord Earl."

Brando knew silently that he understood what the other party meant. Obviously, such a situation as Gussel could not be an example. Ports in other places may have suffered the same doom.

However, the terrain on the west bank of the Luan Strait is steep, and there are not many places to build a port. Therefore, a limited number of places have been used by humans or undead. It is difficult to find a natural undeveloped anchorage. .

"I know there is such a place. Teacher."

At this time Phoenix came over and looked at them and said.

"what?"

"But I haven't been there, I just heard that I heard people say that there is a pirate's hideout in the bay canyon near Sopalachi. Since the pirates can use it as a lair, we can certainly Land there. "

"I've heard of this place, too," Instaron recalled. But there was not much joy on his pale face: "But no one knows exactly where that lair is. The fjord terrain near Sopalachi is complicated, and it will be troublesome if we find it wrong."

Brando glanced back at the dark sea between Tyved Island and Quseir. The spread of that mist was significantly accelerated by the southerly wind, and the wall of mist on the front strait was also facing forward. Coming in this direction, the choices left to them are actually few.

"It's better than sitting and waiting," he replied, "you have to try one anyway. How far is that place from here, can we get there in time?"

"Not far," Delphin understood that the question was being asked to her, and she had overripe the map near the Swift Plain these days, and she replied, "Soparachi is north of Güsser, only a few meters away from here. It is only over a hundred nautical miles. It is one of the largest counterpart ports of the Sapphire Hill across the strait. However, the history of this port is actually very short. It was not discovered until the year of spider poison, but the belly of Sopalachi Bay It has a wide mouth and a narrow natural shelter from the wind. The water depth in the harbor is more than eight meters, and it can accommodate almost all kinds of commercial and military vessels in Jiufeng area. It is an excellent natural port. "

For more than a hundred nautical miles, ordinary people have to walk for several days to arrive on land, but it is not really a long distance on the sea. Their three ships are all excellent armed merchant ships, the fastest. In the case of full sails, it can reach a speed of twelve knots, and the slowest is ten knots. Right now, it is riding a southerly wind. In theory, you can see the coastline of Sopalachi tomorrow morning.

But that ’s just a theory. In fact, it ’s only God who can give them so much time. Although Brando ’s own navigational knowledge has some, it can only be said that it ’s not a black eye. He ca n’t figure out that the mist is How fast the sea is advancing, but at least it can be seen that they will certainly not be left with as much time as ten hours.

Half of it is good.

"The terrain around it is complicated?"

"Sopalachi is on the glacier belt. To the east is the southern edge of the Jiufeng Grand Glacier. Glacier movement and melting ice and snow can easily create complex sea cliffs and fjords. In fact, the entire coastline of the western Luan Strait Both are affected by similar geological changes. Only in warmer areas southeast of the other side of the strait, rivers have formed alluvial plains after melting ice and snow. "

Brando knew for himself that the Great Glacier of Vond is located in the east of Faenza and north of the Saint-Osor Plain, but the term Grand Glacier is actually a broad geographical concept. Its part in Vond is only its most It ’s just the western edge. This glacier, or ice sheet, is better. It is a desperate place to the west of the world's world and the largest part of the 'Black Forest' outside the world's world. (The black forest is of course far more than just Forest), this glacier extends east, and no one knows where its borders are. It crosses the Kursun Strait to the south, intersects part of the border with Madara, and then crosses the Luan Strait to become a continent. Part of the huge despair on the northern border of Feng.

And this part of Jiufeng Glacier is the thing mentioned by Prime Minister Qianjin.

Brando groaned for a moment and looked at Instaron: "Go and signal Mr. Targus, we go north, the destination is Sopalachi. By the way, how many corpses are on your ship, you have to Above intermediate? "

He asked suddenly.

Instaron hesitated for a moment, but did not understand the meaning of the question for a while: "That's not much, Lord Earl, including the lieutenants on this ship, up to five."

"So few?" Brando was a little puzzled. He knew that in Madara, the corpses are the most important part of the army, and it can be said that the backbone is not exaggerated, especially since their summoning of the undead has not yet An era of improvement.

Without grass-roots elite skeleton warriors, no stabbing undead, and no cheap necromancer apprentice, the corpse witch is the most important middle and lower commander of the undead.

In addition, the corpse witch is the most precious and rarest technical arm of Madara. For example, the Navy has a high-tech service. Before the emergence of intelligent elite skeleton warriors, the average skeleton warrior served as cannon fodder at most. The work is to engage in side battles, or to use them in the previous landing wars, and let them be sailors. In the sky, they can only handle the simple tasks of clearing the deck or rowing.

The real professional sailors can only be qualified by corpses with a certain wisdom. There are only five professional sailors in such a large ship? Brando was somewhat incomprehensible.

"In Rosalin, we usually use humans to supplement sailors. Humans here often deal with us. If we can afford to pay, they don't mind working for us. After all, we are not real warships, intermediate corpses are It ’s impossible to equip so many, and that thing is also very valuable to us, "Instaron shook his head and smiled bitterly:" Actually, there are still some of Rosalin, but wasn't it that I didn't expect to bring them out, What use do you want them for? "

Brando is a little speechless. Professional human sailors are actually stronger than corpses. Intermediate corpses have wisdom but are limited. Advanced corpses can be no different from humans, or even better than Madara. How many senior corpses?

Most of them have become undead lords.

Unfortunately, what he needs now is not a professional sailor, but a corpse witch. Although the corpses can be sailors, their real role is not just a sailor, nor is it just a part of Madara's middle and lower rank sergeants The important thing is that they are both mages.

Although it may be a bit lame.

But that's enough.

Seeing that Brando's face was not very good-looking, Instaron, who has learned to look at these days, said quickly: "But there are still many low-level corpses, Lord Earl."

Brando shook his head. "No need. Let Targus gather the intermediate corpses and send them here. I need to do something and need a few mages to help."
