Then, under the command of First Officer Perry, the sailors performed their duties and began to clean the battlefield.
After the Silver Wing was attacked by the sea monster, the damage was not serious. After a simple repair, the body of the impact conch was dragged to the ship with a net bag, and normal sailing resumed.
Creatures like sea monsters are inherently extraordinary materials, and no one can easily abandon them when conditions permit. Fortunately, it is in the coastal waters. If it is captured in the far sea, only part of the core materials can be harvested, and the value is far from comparable to that of a whole body.
Although the loss of the "Silver Wing" is not small, the carcass of this sea monster alone is worth the fare. It is more than enough to pay the war dead or the survivors' rewards.
With such a big guy, the rest of the cruising work is already difficult to continue, and the existence of sea monsters is not convenient to be exposed to ordinary people, so Geer simply ordered a direct return.
Wow...
As the sea monster died, the fog on the sea gradually dissipated. The Silver Wing drew a beautiful arc on the sea, turned to another fast route with fewer shipping vessels, and returned at full speed.
on the deck.
"Let’s go, Warrant Officer Alvin, let’s take a break first, let you taste the characteristics of our boat during lunch, but the rare delicacies." First officer Perry patted Alvin on the shoulder, mystery. To say.
The friendship of fighting side by side combined with Captain Geer's obviously different attitude, the first mate, who has always been known for being harsh and inhumane, is uncharacteristically pleasing to Aiwen.
"Really? I look forward to it!" There is an opportunity to better integrate into the group, and I will not miss it.
As expected.
Then, at the celebration banquet prepared for the victory of the war, in addition to the high-quality ingredients originally stored on the ship and the fresh fish caught on the spot, the chef also gave each table a mysterious plate covered with a cover.
This is the special delicacy that the first officer said, rare in other places.
Aiwen opened the metal cover in front of him curiously.
A large piece of snow-white tender meat is soaked in juice, accompanied by a few slices of green vegetables, and the strange aroma diffuses, making people can’t help but appetite.
It turned out to be a "sea monster feast" made with sea monster tentacles. It is not only delicious and crispy, but also has the magical effect of slightly improving physical fitness.
The veteran crew members are fine. When they were on Tier 4 ships, they could enjoy it once or twice a year. Even if they were on Tier 5 ships, the rations were much better than others. However, the first time they saw Aiwen and The two of Gary feasted.
Feeling the slight heat surging in the body.
Aiwen even imagined that if he could eat this kind of meat every day, he should be able to quickly reach the limit of a mortal, right?
When I thought about it, I knew it was impossible. The sea monster is the ruler of the sea, and even the top predator. It is understandable to accidentally encounter a desperate fight, but if it is dedicated to hunting and killing, it really feels that its life is too long.
But if you only have one meal or two, the sea monster meat is not more effective than the corresponding auxiliary medicine. It is better than nothing, it can only satisfy the taste buds.
Even so, Irvine solved his share as quickly as possible, leaving no residue.
was sitting at the wine table reserved for the officers, taking advantage of their drunkenness, and starting to talk in high spirits.
Aiwen asked curiously about the past experience of the old officers in the deep sea.
Today, everyone can see Aiwen's performance. He cut off the three tentacles of the sea monster alone, saving at least a dozen crew members. Whether or not they have a special relationship with the captain, they have been recognized by most of them.
"Just ask the right person. I was the first person to wander in the sea with the captain." The navigator Trius drank a lot, and his drunken eyes were already a little confused.
"Young people, you must remember that there are many giants in the sea, but not all of them have hatred for humans.
Carapace and tentacles coexist. This is the characteristic of the sea monsters under the mother of sea monsters. They hate humans as an instinct, and there is no way to change it, but there are still many other types of wild sea monsters.
For these wild sea monsters, humans are no different from other creatures. If there are means, they can even be tamed like hounds. "
Speaking of this, Trius sliced a large piece of raw sea monster meat and dipped it into the soup, stuffed it into his mouth, poured a large sip of rum, and hiccuped the wine severely.
"Furthermore, the brave Lord Nautical Commander uses his experience to tell you that powerful sea monsters have one thing in common, and that is that they are all delicious!" Sailor Captain Chris jokes when he sees Trius indulging in wine and meat. He clicked.
A table of people burst into laughter instantly.
"It's still a good day for us to drive a Tier 4 warship in the open sea. This kind of small sea monster only needs one round of salvos to be sent to the bottom of the sea. Why would you need the Captain to take action?"
The gunner took a sip of amber rum, feeling a little bit.
"Let me say, when will we be able to subdue and enslave a large wild sea monster, at that time, our days will be tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk..." The steering commander also came to join in the fun. Sea monster rider addiction.
"Dream you! Nothing else, it is enough to rely on such a large sea monster to compete for a quasi-legendary battleship!"
A group of people are booing, laughing at the impracticality of the steering officer.
is different from the small species such as the impact conch, which can be killed by a single shot with a special javelin. Each large species of sea monster has the ability to destroy a battleship by itself (when there are no powerful transcendents on board).
Even a few decades ago, the kingdom of Hilius, the overlord of the kingdom of sea power, made a bold statement when it first sent the battleship, a big killer, to the sea: "The only one in this world that can resist battleships is another battleship. And... a large sea monster!"
Large species of sea monsters are terrifying monsters whose body length is at least longer than a first-class battleship. With the power of this monster, coupled with the command of humans, the combat effectiveness that can be exerted can no longer be simply described as one plus one greater than two.
Although it can't reach the level of the "Legendary Warship", the big killer used by the sea power countries to town the country, there is no problem in reaching the level of quasi-legendary beyond the first-class warship.
This means that the combination of humans and large sea monsters is enough to crush more than 90% of the human ships on the sea, terrifying...
Aiwen did not interrupt, while eating all kinds of Hesai food, struggling to satisfy the more exaggerated appetite because of the knight training, while listening attentively to the conversations of the officers.
In addition to some common sense related to sea monsters, I gradually gained a certain understanding of the strength of the officers on board.
The power of a person above the sea is small, but it does not include the supernatural beings at the peak level. Even in terms of the inaugural regulations of the Kingdom of Falitis, every warship captain should be at least an extraordinary knight!
This is also the final force guarantee for the battleship to defeat the harsh natural environment and deep-sea monsters.
And the extraordinary captain with varying numbers of trainee knights (corresponding to captain officers) and a large number of ordinary sailor aids, with the help of the ship-borne artillery and various weapons on the battleship, together form the overall combat effectiveness of a battleship.
The officers present here are naturally no exception. They are all qualified to practice the true extraordinary swordsmanship "Falettis Sabre", but either because of their age, their qualifications, or their ambitions, they can truly surpass ordinary people to a certain level. There are not many people.
After all, they are still in the position of captain at their age. Most people have reached the apex of their official careers, have long given up on their extraordinary roads, and have often placed their hopes on the next generation.
Among them, Uncle Geer, as the captain, is a well-deserved force in charge, and is a powerful presence at the peak of the knight. Moreover, the Naval Department has regulations. In order to be promoted to a school-level officer, armed forces officers must have the rank of official knights, except for civilian positions.
First Mate Perry counts as one. Although he has not yet reached the official knight rank, his level should not be too low. The other is the sailor captain Chris, who leads the stormtroopers to help the main force. Ivan feels that his physical fitness is worse than Gary but should be inferior to himself.
But in terms of development potential, the two of them are already too far apart.
First Mate Perry is already over thirty years old, and most of his physical fitness depends on the years, and it is almost impossible to advance to a formal knight.
Sailor Captain Chris is in a little better situation, but if he can't try to break through within two years, he may never have a chance again.
This kind of aptitude is far inferior to Aven, even to Gary.
In theory, as a member of a Tier 4 battleship, the ability of a captain officer would not be so.
From their chat, Ivan accidentally learned that there was actually another Cavalier-class on the Tier 4 ship. This is where the crew of the Tier 4 ship is emboldened. It's just that everyone kept secrets about this former colleague, and they didn't know whether it was sacrifice or transfer.
The conversation was shallow and deep, and after a moment of indulgence, Ivan did not ask any more questions.
"Come on, keep drinking!"
"Warrant Officer Alvin, welcome to join our Silver Wing."
"With the skill of Warrant Officer Ivan, I will be the new force on the Silver Wing from now on."
A celebration banquet allowed Aiwen to fully integrate into this new group.
......
The speed of returning is much faster than during the patrol, but the destination of the Silver Wing is not the Gabriel military port, but a hidden island outside the port that is not on the normal route.
After and the navy stationed on the island handed over the corpse of the impact conch, the officers and crew of the Silver Wing had a generous amount of merit and bonuses. In the future, this will be the vouchers to upgrade military ranks, exchange training methods, and various spiritual resources.
With Aiwen's outstanding performance, his share is naturally indispensable.
Ivan estimated that as long as he came here again, he would be able to reach the standard of turning right without having to wait for years, and become the same captain rank as the sailor captain and first mate.
After returning to the military port and reporting the sea monster incident, the Silver Wing received additional commendations. The crew received three more days of vacation a week after the last docking.
After a thrilling sea monster battle, the crew can’t wait to relax in the bustling Gabriel.
Aiwen frowned slightly because Uncle Geer was called away by the Third Fleet Command alone. He felt that it was not so simple for sea monsters to break into the coastal waters and attack merchant ships.
But now these things are not his turn to worry about, but another little thing is imminent.
Only people who have been wandering on the sea for a long time can experience the beauty of stepping on the ground. Don’t worry about being overturned by the bed while sleeping, don’t worry about the ink bottle tipping over at any time, don’t worry...
Maybe I will get used to this kind of sea life in the future, but obviously the thick land is more attractive now. If there is a large salad with various seasonal fruits and vegetables, it would be better to satisfy my stomach craving for vegetables.
Given that he has to spend a long time in Gabriel, Ivan felt it necessary to solve the problem of his accommodation on the shore. You can’t go to the hotel every time you dock, right?
Renting a house, as a place where he may live on the shore for a long time, has become Aiwen’s primary goal.
called Gary together, and after they got off the Silver Wing, they wandered around in Gabriel. At this time he realized that he had been to Gabriel for several months and he had never had the opportunity to visit the city.
"Come and take a look, the special fruits brought back from the southern continent!"
"Look, how this exquisite floral cloth suits you, beautiful girl!"
"Glass mirrors are being sold. I sell a silver bull glass mirror in Wangdu. I only sell ninety bronze mirrors, and only ninety ones!"
It is worthy of being a well-known commercial distribution center, whether it is a civilized world or a distant colony, as long as you can imagine the goods can be bought here~EbookFREE.me~ In addition to bulk trade, large and small markets are also because of this. It is extremely prosperous due to ample traffic. Although fruits, vegetables, accessories, clothing, etc. have the common shortcomings of this era, they are slightly messy, but they are full of life.
makes the guy who is used to seeing the monotonous scenery of the sea refreshed and happy.
"Gary, what kind of house do you think we should find?"
"Um... cheap?"
"Cough cough cough..." Aiwen was speechless for a while, knowing that this guy had no reliable suggestions.
"The rent is not a problem, just leave it to me." Ivan also understands the situation in Gary's home. There are many brothers and sisters. He probably wants to save his salary and send it home to subsidize the family.
Ivan himself is not short of money, the spoils of the capture of the Blood Anchor and the two thousand gold tickets for handling the ship are still in his pocket.
Two thousand gold tickets are considered a huge sum of money wherever they are placed.
Commerce and trade are developed, and housing agencies are naturally indispensable. Looking for an agency that looked pleasing to the eye, the two followed a young clerk on Gabriel's half-day tour.
The black-hearted businessmen in the different world have not yet extended their magic to the real estate field, and there is no craze for real estate speculation. Even in a more prosperous seaport city like Gabriel, housing prices are not very expensive, and renting is naturally cheaper.
It doesn’t matter if the location is good or bad, because I spend most of the time on the boat and I don’t have to think about commuting every morning.
From high-end apartments in the prosperous area, to luxury villas in the suburbs, to ordinary houses in the downtown area...Finally, I went to most of the city, almost visited Gabriel, and finally found a satisfactory place near the sea. The place.
"Yes, this is it!"
