There are only two people in the captain's room, Aiwen and Milan.
A nautical chart was spread out on the desk between the two.
The quality of the nautical drawings and the graphics are very new, and you can see that they are high-end goods drawn recently. Countries, shore shapes, islands, reefs, water depths, navigation marks, lighthouses, supply points, habitats of dangerous marine life, etc., are clearly marked on the silky paper.
Moreover, the scope of this nautical chart is unexpectedly large, including the entire "Tulip Alliance" offshore trade route and more than a dozen commonly used ocean routes, including Irwin's most eye-catching route to the New World.
Compared with the one I received from the Fleet Headquarters before Ivan set off, it was much wider and more detailed.
As a qualified navy captain, Ivan certainly knows the goods. This nautical chart shows that it is not a common product, and it may even belong to a special collection that your lieutenant does not know where to get it.
Well, the most important thing is that while the value is priceless, the level of confidentiality must be very high...
Milan didn’t notice Evan’s strange eyesight, and had already taken the role of the captain of the navigator. He focused all of his attention on the nautical chart, sliding his fingers on the chart and said to himself:
"At the current speed of the ‘Conch’, we will be able to reach the Shell Strait in three days. After that, it’s the open sea area in a vague sense.
I do not recommend continuing to hunt down the great pirates who can cross the open sea. In addition to too many uncontrollable risks, our ‘Conch’, a six-tier ship, simply can’t adapt to the changing climate and astronomy of the open sea.
Unless a naval fleet is formed to perform its duties, if a ship rushes in rashly, the fault tolerance rate is too low, and a single accident will kill us in the sea. "
The two people around the nautical chart are planning the next trip. Because it is a hunting mission for vicious pirates, where the danger lies, the choice of target and route is particularly important.
At this time, there is no so-called difference between the captain and the navigator, the superior and the inferior, all of them are treated seriously, and they are straightforward to express their opinions.
"Well, I agree with you. Although at the Naval Academy, I have also learned how to deal with the complicated sea conditions in the open sea, but our main members are still recruits after all, plus our Tier 6 ships go directly to the open sea is for everyone. Irresponsible.
But even if you don’t go to the open sea, there are articles you can do in the offshore area.
More than ten days have passed since the "Beluga Harbor Massacre". Let us think about the next possible movement of the pirates who have acquired a large amount of wealth..."
Before he set off, Ivan actually had an overall plan before he was joined by Milan. Now the arrival of Milan also adds an insurance for the smooth progress of the plan. At this time, naturally, he would not hide it from him.
"You mean...neutral port?!"
Milan understood what Ivan meant in an instant.
Although pirates are chasing treasures in their bones, they are also insulated from treasures. They are destined to not return to the civilized world, but they do not have the concept of saving money, and having fun in time is the norm.
Patronizing Orioles, enjoying fine wine and food, and gambling, no matter how much wealth you have in your hands, you will be squandered in a short period of time, at least for the vast majority of pirates.
However, although the ports of civilized countries are full of flowers and can meet all their needs, the risks are too great for the pirates.
Fortunately, various countries and forces have different attitudes towards pirates. Except for the "Tulip Alliance", which has received the grace of the "Goddess of Kingship and Navigation", the east coast of the Black Sea is also scattered with many different scales. Different neutral ports allow pirates to dock.
There is a gold-selling cave for pirates, and it is also a cornucopia of neutral forces!
Of course, in addition to neutral ports, there are many private ports all over the sea, but no one can tell.
Seeing Milan’s expression, Ai Wen smiled slightly. The wise man didn’t need to spend much time, and then he reached out and pointed his finger on the nautical chart. Milan looked over at his fingertips, and his face was instantly stunned: "Attilan, the largest neutral port city on the East Coast!"
Was awakened by Aiwen's words, and instantly understood Aiwen's original intention with Milan's wisdom.
"It turns out that the route you chose in the first place was purposeful!
Calculated according to this time, from the'Beluga Harbor' in the south of Ilya to'Attilan', our position is almost the only way for their straight distance, as long as they do not go to the open sea, or deliberately go around a big Circle, otherwise there is a high probability of passing through this sea area.
Coupled with your seabird reconnaissance, within 50 kilometers, they may hit your muzzle without even noticing it. Even without me, the ‘Conch’ would not get nothing on this trip.
You guys are sinister! "
Aiwen deliberately scowled:
"What is insidious? Is this wisdom?
There are a total of more than two hundred pirate ships, all of which have made a fortune in Beluga Harbor. Even if there are not many people who choose to go to the Attitude Orchid World, it is absolutely impossible not to have them. Staying here and waiting for you is much better than searching the sea aimlessly.
Coupled with your divination skills, let's fortune telling when there are pirates passing by here, which is much simpler than divination of the specific location of a specific pirate.
Think about it, that gang of pirates carrying pockets of treasures, singing songs, thinking that they will be able to spend a lot of time and drink well, suddenly they are robbed by horse bandits...cough cough...suddenly hit our hands Is it a big surprise here? ! "
"Although I only saw your nasty taste, I agree with this plan." Milan glanced at Aiwen weirdly, always feeling that there was a hidden meaning in this matter that he could not understand.
But he didn't care too much, and instead offered his own suggestions.
"I just boarded the ship and I don't know much about the tactics of the Conch, especially you.
Let's sort out the strength of our side in advance. When I do divination, we will compare the strength. If we run into an existence that we can't provoke, we'd better avoid it for a while. "

Extraordinary items:
Pure crystal ball (essential props for crystal ball divination)...
It is worth mentioning that the "prophecy school" that Milan belongs to, after abandoning most of the offensive casting abilities ~EbookFREE.me~, gained a purer spiritual power, and turned to warning, detection, mind, and doom. The curse is quite successful.
There are only two official knights on the ship as extraordinary powers. Below them, the power of the two peak apprentice knights, sailor captain Gary and rope leader Vader, is the most. Others, including captain officers and all soldiers, are either old or not yet grown up, and can only be used as conventional combat power.
In addition to the personnel on board, the most important measure of combat effectiveness of a warship is the number of artillery on board.
Whether it is a bronze or iron cannon, it is a manifestation of a country’s financial and technological level. Even many scholars in this era often use the number of artillery in a country to measure their naval strength.
It is just that as a six-tier ship "Conch", there are only 20 shipborne artillery pieces (continued until the end of the great nautical era, the shipborne artillery only has smoothbore guns).
Firepower is far from being powerful, so in addition to the necessary armed forces in the face of pirates, we need a little bit...wisdom!
