Chapter 212: Merit Ranking

"Set sail!"
After the storm was over, Ivan gave an order.
The two sea ships sailed side by side towards the sea, standing on the stern of the "Conch" watching the island gradually disappearing from the end of the line of sight, Ivan had completely calmed the waves of choosing the wizarding road.
Before leaving, he commanded the sailors to completely destroy the exposed man-made structures on the island, and all the wooden houses built by the "Sharktooth Pirates" were also burned down. Judging from the growth rate of the vegetation on the island, it will not take long for the island to regenerate into a completely deserted island.
The power of nature will help oneself remove the last trace of human existence on the island.
Then this island that has changed its future will silently wait for its return in the sea. At that time, he will start the super giant rock golem "Mountain Giant" again!
And the one who accompanied the "Conch" was naturally Aiwen's trophy pirate ship: "Thumb."
Although this pirate ship is not the same standard model as the sixth-tier warship, it is already quite impressive in terms of its size and the firepower of 30 shipborne artillery.
Although the hull was slightly damaged in the previous battle with the "Reef", the ship-borne artillery was mainly of small caliber of 9 pounds, 6 pounds or even 3 pounds, but strictly speaking, it is no worse than the sixth-tier warship "Conch". How much.
In the principle of making the best use of everything.
Aiwen put the "Conch" aside, the only school-level officer Milan rushed to the "Thumb" as interim captain.
Then he arranged for the officers and soldiers of the "Reef" who were inconvenient to see more secrets of him, and transferred a group of sailors from the "Conch" to restore the combat effectiveness of the pirate ship.
Originally, I didn't want to act with other people, first because of the unclear distinction of merits, and second because of fear of revealing my secrets. If there is another hunt for "One-eyed Betsy", it will be a headache for scammers like the "Warrior".
But now that these sailors have been incorporated, the situation is naturally different.
Although the number of personnel has not increased much, and their melee ability is not in Aiwen's eyes, at least they have doubled the firepower of their warships!
However, the ammunition reserves of the two warships are now in serious shortage, and the top priority is to restore the combat effectiveness of the warships.
"Target: St. Maarten Naval Base, full speed ahead!"
.......
The Kingdom of Falitis, the largest military port "Newin Port".
In the "Shadow Library" in the Princeton Principal's Witchcraft Garden, Anthony scribbled the last character on the parchment in his independent research room.
"call--"
The young wizard apprentice let out a breath.
"This paper has finally been completed. Ivan's latest actual combat data is too timely. If it weren't for these data, I wouldn't know when the actual combat analysis of'Song of the Banshee' would have been completed!
Finally, a complete result can be submitted to the school! This invention will definitely change the navy's combat mode in the future, and even break the dominance of sea monsters in the sea. Well, it can only be described as ‘great’! "
------>>
Anthony quickly rechecked it from the beginning, and after confirming that there was no problem, he quickly sealed it with a thick envelope, stamped his witchcraft seal and put it together with a small brass ball in a small box.
"I don't know how this guy's head grows, and he has made such great creations that can change the world one after another. What will be the next scurvy prevention plan and the song of the sea monster? If it wasn't him, who Can you think that sound waves will have such powerful power?
Hahaha, I really have the foresight. There are so many apprentices in the "Alchemy Equipment and Enchanting Engineering Branch" of the school. If I had a good relationship with this guy, how could this kind of good fame for auxiliary research fall on me? "
Carrying the research results, Anthony walked briskly out of the research room. The results of this level were enough to initiate emergency procedures and passed them directly to the Princeton Principal!
.......
On the vast sea.
This time the voyage did not have any accidents again. After three days of uninterrupted sailing by two groups of sailors in shifts, the two warships crossed the open sea boundary and successfully arrived at the Naval Base of Saint Martin.
Stop on this island with snow-white sandy beaches, beautiful scenery and a sheltered harbor. Aiwen even saw the fields opened up on the island, filled with various crops, as a supplement to the island's materials.
The chief officer took the certificate of operations issued by the Third Fleet Command and was about to approach the base. The main task was to replenish ammunition, fresh ingredients, and to further maintain and replace the sails of the "Thumb."
To be honest, a navy warship and a black sail pirate ship running together is really an eye-catcher, and it can easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Take this!"
Aiwen put the "Black Iron Cross" blessed by the goddess in a beautiful box and gave it to the first officer Borg. St. Martin is managed by the Tulip Principality, and the main staff naturally also have teaching positions.
As a "pious" believer as a goddess, how can he give this medal a face.
Not enough, if the goddess in the kingdom of God knows that this "favorite" has already equated her godly medals and discount coupons in her heart. What do you think...
Uh, maybe you are not happy?
In fact, Irving didn't think so much.
After all, it is a naval base controlled by another country.
He just wanted to successfully complete the supply, resume the hunting operation, and ensure that he could hold the "golden compass" steadily in his hands. He had no interest in the nasty and various intrigues between possible kingdoms.
Even if it is a little high-profile at this time, as long as it can slightly reduce the trouble outside the task, it is nothing at all.
However, the base paid more attention to the "Iron and Iron Cross" than he expected. Just after Borg walked for a while, a colonel in charge of the base came to Aiwen himself.
"The goddess's favor, Captain Irwin! Welcome to our naval base on St. Martin. Bathed in the glory of the goddess, we will provide you with maximum convenience in this base...
By the way, congratulations on your current merit ranking ranking first! The three thousand golden lions of the "Spirit of the Eagle" and the two thousand five hundred golden lions of the "Thumb", the hunting amount has reached five thousand and five. Hundred golden lions.
This is the latest battle report, you can take a look...
I won’t bother, the goddess is with you! "
------>>
After saluting each other, Aiwen sincerely thanked each other for their care.
Holding a briefing in his hand, he watched the other party leave with his first mate, and personally directed the logistics staff to replenish the supplies for his two ships.
The hunting operation has started for more than half a month, and the progress of the relevant operations has also been fed back, summarized by the naval bases distributed on the main routes.
Judging from the briefing, the current warships going to sea have different results. Among them, the "Conch" was so rewarding, and there was also the "Reef" that was almost wiped out.
Of course, more navies have not even found the tail of the pirates and have no gain.
Because in this hunt that delineated the hunting ground to the entire east coast of the Black Sea, the most difficult thing was not how to defeat the pirates. After all, although there were many pirate ships participating in the massacre, most of them were nothing more than "blood anchor Zach". That's not an extraordinary little character.
There are only dozens of pirate ships with extraordinary people in town, even with the direct line of the pirate king.
On the contrary, how to find the more than two hundred pirate ships on the endless sea is the most difficult one!
Even within the inherent sphere of influence of the "Tulip Alliance", the naval bases and some patrol ships with densely distributed naval bases can monitor major routes to a limited extent and provide some intelligence to the navy on mission.
But by analogy, it's like looking for 200 beans in a lake. Even if you drive a battleship and beat your opponent into powder with a single blow, you can't find anyone.
It’s the only one that, like Ivan, is "unlucky" in less than a month and encounters two pirate ships with high rewards that can still be defeated.
However, he cares more about the names that rank behind him than his temporary results. Without the assistance of Milan and the Seabird Reconnaissance Network, the results are still very tight, and they can be called their own rivals!
The first place, Ivan Garrett of the Kingdom of Falitis, 16 years old, officially the Knight class, captain of the sixth-tier ship "Conch". A total of 5,500 golden lions were awarded as a reward from pirates.
Second place, Thomas Gregory of the Kingdom of Ilya, 25 years old, senior knight class, captain of the fifth class ship "Snow Lake". Obtained a total of 4200 golden lions as pirate rewards.
Third place, Bertram Solomon, 28 years old, senior knight class, captain of the battleship "Royal Guard". A total of 3,500 golden lions were awarded as a reward from pirates.
"..."
Although the people in the back may also hide the dragon and the tiger~EbookFREE.me~, there is a big gap with the three people in front of me.
However, there are still more than two months before the deadline of the mission. Any situation may happen in such a long time. A momentary lead is not a reason to take it lightly.
There was a delay in the transmission of information on the sea, and now someone might have hunted and killed a big pirate again. If someone accidentally squeezed out the top six, you would regret it.
then.
With the full cooperation of the sailors and the base personnel, the two warships under Aiwen were fully rationed, replaced with sail gear, and simply maintained, and soon recovered their combat effectiveness in their heyday.
Without any hesitation, "Conch" and "Thumb" all returned to the sea!
After confirming through Milan's divination that there is a possibility of another harvest on the route to the neutral port of Attilan, the two warships headed north, reopening a large net, waiting for the arrival of the next prey.
Next is... hunting time!
