Chapter 225: Jumbo Fleet

However, when everything seemed to be ready, they found a new problem embarrassingly.
　　 "The spoils are so rich that more than two hundred people can't drive three warships, especially one of them!"
　　The sail system of sailing warships in this era is complicated to operate, and it can’t be started at all if there are fewer people. Even simple sea steering requires the tacit cooperation of the rudder and the sail system. As long as there is a little operating error, it will cause a very ugly scene.
　　 Therefore, the feat of two men like Jack Sparrow and William Turner driving away a warship is simply a feat.
　　 According to the normal staffing, the basic three shifts can be realized, and a standard four-tier battleship requires 350 people.
　　 There is no way. If you count all the sailors in your hand, you can barely achieve two uninterrupted sailing with a little hard work, but the other two warships can only lower their sails and let the battleship tow.
　　 In the absence of an emergency, the problem of one towing two battleships is not too big. There is also the assistance of the "Head Statue·Monsoon Goddess", which should not be much slower than normal navigation.
　　 "Raise the sail and set sail!"
　　 "Hey...hey...hey..."
　　 Soon the sailors chanted loudly on the ship, and the crew worked together to raise the sails and start the big guy again.
　　 Towing rope connects "Storm Horn", "Conch" and "Thumb" in a line, and heads east, which is the offshore direction.
　　 Successfully killed Bassem, and Ivan’s feats have been accumulated to the point where others are completely unattainable. A stone fell in his heart, and he was no longer worried about hunting.
The crew of the original "Reef" on the ship was really envious. My original warship was sunk by pirates. I wanted to return to the mainland on a colleague’s ship. I didn’t expect to witness the arrival of the group of colleagues who had rescued me. A four-tier battleship.
　　 Colleagues who had been faintly lower than their own status were instantly qualified to enter the main battle line. In contrast, their own group of people became stragglers who lost even their ships.
　　 This kind of gap is difficult for people who have never experienced it.
　　 But, I think about it too much now. It is better to perform well on the ship, and hope that Captain Ivan can say a few good things for himself at the headquarters when he returns to the fleet, so as to avoid the influence of defeat and capture.
　　 But.
　　 Riding the wind and the waves, the motivated fleet was forced to stop after driving on the sea for less than half an hour.
"what happened?"
　　 Pedal...
　　 Before running to the stern, Milan had already shouted to Irving who had just issued the sailing brake command.
　　 "Look for yourself!"
　　In the connection of mind, the seabirds looked towards the sea below.
　　 Under the vast white clouds, there is a large area of ​​azure blue water. On the sea, a large fleet of ships is full of sails and slanting towards the south.
　　The snow-white sails are connected together, like white clouds falling on the sea, it is very spectacular!
　　 At a glance, there are at least sixty sailboats. It is a huge fleet consisting of more than fifty merchant ships with extremely deep drafts and ten warships of various sizes.
　　 "What a big fleet!"
　　 Although it is really rare to see a fleet of this size, it is not the reason why Ivan ordered the ship to stop.
　　The point is the identity of this fleet!
The flagship headed by the fleet is at least a Tier 3 battleship. The bowsprit is covered with flags of generals, nobles, and fleets... and behind it, all the warships are marked with flame patterns on the mainmast. The flag clearly shows their origins--
　　 The treasure fleet of the Kingdom of Sirius! ! !
　　 "The all-seeing eye is on! What luck is it for us to encounter a large fleet of treasures returning from the New World! They took this route, did they drift off unexpectedly?"
　　 Aiwen did not have the relaxed attitude of Milan to give directions to Jiangshan. He observed more and thought more.
　　In the seabirds' reconnaissance network, it is far more than this treasure fleet that appears on the sea. Across dozens of kilometers away, at the extreme distance that the watchman can identify the flag with the aid of tools, there are still many ships of different sizes that are difficult to identify.
　　 This is not like a harmonious situation!
　　 As the current maritime overlord, Hilius organizes two large-scale fleet voyages each spring and autumn, connecting the vast colonies and the mainland.
When departing, carry local guns, linens and other goods to the major colonies. When returning to the voyage, they are loaded with gold and silver, gems, spices, tobacco, silk, etc., especially gold and silver that are abundant overseas. The great pirates and enemy countries are coveting.
　　 Every time I return from the New World, there are countless eyeliners staring at me.
　　 is greedy by this richly profitable hostile country, powerful multinational organizations disguising identities, famous pirates and even some brave little pirates who are like hyenas, trying to bite on this piece of fat.
　　 In fact, even the invincible Hilius fleet has not been destroyed in this dangerous sea. Sudden storms, sea monsters, and snipers from powerful enemies!
　　 If you are lucky, even a small pirate is not without a chance.
　　Of course, their mentality is the same as that of gamblers. They put down their chips. What if they get a stud?
The Hilius navy undertook the mission at this time, naturally, the spirit of twelve points. Although only a small fleet is returning this time, the goods in it are also invaluable. It is related to the kingdom’s huge military expenditure this year. Wind and grass will arouse their highest level of vigilance!
　　Of course, as the defensive force of the overlord fleet at sea, it is the greatest deterrent in itself. Before the irresistible external factors intervene, it is already enough to discourage the hungry wolves.
　　 Just like this fleet, in addition to the accompanying cruiser, it is the quasi-legendary battleship "Guide Commander" headed!
　　 Three decks, equipped with 70 ship-borne artillery, 520 personnel, and displacement of 1,500 tons. This is the main battleship with the largest number of naval battleships in various countries except for the four-tier ships that belong to the compromise plan.
　　 This class of warship is the perfect combination of firepower, speed and cost in this era, not to mention this is a quasi-legendary warship with super conventional power!
　　 "Your Excellency Commander! As in previous years, after we left the open sea smoothly, the gaze that we watched along the way slowly increased.
　　 It's just that they travel far away, and they have been hanging behind the fleet. For the time being, I don't know if there is an ambush behind them.
　　 Do you think we are going to allow the cruise ship to leave the group and go on its own to expel these madmen at sea? "
　　 Adjutant enters the captain's room of the flagship "Commander of the Guards" and reports the latest information to the fleet commander, Viscount Lavender, captain of the quasi-legendary battleship, and Grand Knight Lieutenant Adonis Auston.
　　 The tall and burly fleet commander, who had the elegant demeanor in his bones, heard that there was no first time frame. Instead, he looked at the other person in the room and asked in a very equal tone: "Mr. Anduen, what do you think?"
On the high chair is a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and white short hair. His skin is fair and clean and his hands are placed on his lap. Even if he is facing a fleet commander, a great knight-level extraordinary person, he has no trace Feeling restrained.
　　 Hearing what Alston said, Anduen smiled slightly:
　　 "Although it is safe to expel all of them, as long as we see the uninvited guests with our own eyes, can we make a decision later?"
When 　　 spoke, he also had his own plan.
　　 This time I returned from the New World, I wanted to meet with His Majesty the King of the first sea power, Hilius, on behalf of my school, and seek some unspeakable cooperation.
　　 Although the power he possessed is beyond doubt, it was just this opportunity to let this respected Vice Admiral gain insight and heavier the bargaining chip afterwards.
　　 "Oh? Do you want to go to the observation deck?"
　　 didn't quite understand what this Mr. Anduen meant, the general asked.
　　 "Hehe, please look!"
　　 There is no meaning to be mysterious, the black-robed man directly cut his finger and ejected a drop of blood.
　　 ticking
　　 However, this drop of blood did not fall to the ground. Instead, it blended into the air in front of the three people, fainting the light like ink dripping into water.
　　 A few breaths have formed an oval half-length mirror without a frame.
　　 And the picture presented in the mirror is exactly the scene on the sea near the large fleet, and it is still a 360-degree panoramic picture.
　　 Sixty-five merchant ships and battleships belonging to the fleet are constantly shrinking, and the scope of the picture in the mirror is constantly expanding, five kilometers, ten kilometers, 15 kilometers...
　　 gradually surpassed the scope that the observer can observe with naked eyes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is still expanding.
　　 The suspicious-looking ships that are keeping pace with the fleet are completely exposed. Although you can't see too much detail, you can still tell the power of each sea vessel based on the flag and style of the ship.
　　 And...Is there a hidden fleet farther behind them?
　　 "The ‘rainbow trout’ pirate group, the nearby Akamodo state... are all small characters with little weight.
There are two Tier 5 cruisers of the Sark Empire, a privateer warship from Atlan... There is also a Tier 4 battleship with both black sails and the flag of Falitis. Well, it’s a fleet? "
　　 The adjutant is so precious to all the powers of the Black Sea, all of them are named out by him one by one. In his words, he has an undisguised amazement at the methods of this mysterious figure.
　　As an experienced naval officer, how can he not know what this ability means for navigation?
　　The enemy's first opportunity has allowed the fleet to gain absolute battlefield advantage, not to mention...
　　‘If you have this ability, and with the extraordinary ability of the Commander of the Guards, it is not a dream to achieve long-range precision strikes beyond the visual range! ’
　　 What he can think of, the general naturally wants it too.
Suppressing the surprise in the guest’s magical methods, he smiled and said: "Hahaha, Mr. Anduen is worthy of the second place in the curse school! Today, I will pick two big fish to bleed and scare those who dare to mess in front of us. Jumping monkeys!"
