Extraordinary Sailing

The luminescent dust floating up and down in the bottle is the "evil spirit dust" that Ivan once dreamed of.

However, just two months ago, I just got a part of it by chance from the indigenous Yucatan tribe, and now it didn't take long for another part to appear.

Even if the New World is rich in all kinds of spirit bodies, it can't be so casual, right?

And from Nekado's tone, it seems that the bottle of "Evil Spirit Dust" also came from that tribe?

"Your Excellency, I feel like we're in trouble.

I don't know why, some time ago, when our people went to trade with them again with the goods, they found that the entire camp of the Yucatan tribe was empty.

Didn't even leave us any information, only found this in the longhouse of the tribal leader Apsova.

Because you got something similar after you eliminated the bereaved evil spirit 'Pocatello' last time, so I want you to see if you have any clues. "

While talking about Necado, he was also a little worried. The Yucatan tribe was related to the source of a large part of his fur trade.

Just leave without saying goodbye now, how can I continue my fur trade in the future?

Hearing his words, Ivan didn't research the special features of the bottle of "Evil Spirit Dust" for the first time, but lit up all the hanging wind chimes planted in the captain's room.

After carefully staring at Necardo's haggard face for a while, he frowned slightly and asked:

"Mr. Director, have you not been sleeping well recently, and you often hear some inexplicable movements?"

Seen by Aiwen, he felt a little hairy, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, a little uncertain:

"I guess so, I've been feeling a little heavy in my neck recently.

Maybe it's because I've been too tired recently, and this kind of strange thing happened again, it's normal not to have a good rest.

There are also several company employees in my department who are exhausted and have even called in sick.

It's not as good as my body! Hahaha"

Hearing his narration, Aiwen has already affirmed his guess.

Suddenly he reached out and snapped his fingers.

Snapped--

Crackling

Necado immediately trembled all over, his body crackled like electricity, and even his hair stood on end.

"Captain Ivan, what is this for?"

The numb tongue has not been straightened.

ah--!

A piercing and short scream sounded in the captain's cabin, and then disappeared instantly.

“There were some things that weren’t so clean, but now they’re OK.

A word of advice to you, stop thinking about your fur.

There may be someone more powerful than Pocatello, the bereavement spirit, who has been to the Yucatan tribe.

Just a little bit of breath has this level, if you try to pursue it, it might really kill you.

Go to the church and invite a clergyman of at least the level of the patriarch to perform a purification ceremony for all the people who have been to the Yucatan tribe. "

"A more terrifying evil spirit?"

Necardo, who finally realized what Ivan did just now, couldn't help but shiver.

While his face turned paler, he no longer dared to mention the word Yucatan tribe.

After several ships completed the transfer of materials.

He watched the three merchant ships and the preoccupied Necardo leave in a hurry.

Ai Wen looked at the bottle of "Evil Dust" that he had exchanged with Necardo for a few "Silver Talismans" in his hand, and he felt that things might be a little tricky.

In the fur trade, not only the East Lunzhi Company is the beneficiary, but the win-win cooperation between Yucatan and East Lunchi.

If the Yucatan tribe repelled the more powerful "evil spirit" and left calmly, it must not have left any information.

Judging from the clues we have now, the situation of the Yucatan tribe is obviously not very good.

but.

This news has no impact on Aiwen for the time being. He has no interest in Yucatan and lacks the motivation to pursue the truth.

Especially now that I have a mission, at least until the Potosí Silver Mine decides to own it, or I can't get out to do other things until I get an order from the higher-ups.

The duration of the "Silver War" is beyond the control of anyone, including the top figures in various countries who made the decision to "start the war".

For the time being, I can only silently wish that Necardo can find a new source of goods as soon as possible, or form his own hunting team like Beixi Leather Goods Company.

After the last loot trade.

The days when Ivan was able to conduct research on witchcraft leisurely have not passed a few days.

The two battleships "Storm Horn" and "Endeavour" that had been swimming near the supply line finally ushered in the first batch of support fleets from other colonies of Cyrus.

At the same time, he finally ushered in his biggest challenge, and it was also the first head-to-head confrontation with the most powerful navy in the world.

"Attention all units! New targets appear, prepare for battle!"

Looking at the menacing and powerful fleet two hundred kilometers away, after repeated investigations to determine the opponent's strength, they did not choose to retreat this time.

Although it is impossible to be easy, after weighing it with the officers on board and the "Endeavour", they all feel that it can be fought!

As soldiers in the rising period of the country, it is impossible for them to be afraid of war.

And if they can kill or capture this fleet, even if they lose the "Silver War" that will affect the wealth of the sky, their contribution will not be erased!

In the end, Aiwen, who was the commander of the fleet, gave the order:

"Fuck him!"

The New World is a long gourd-shaped north and south poles, and the thinnest part in the middle is less than 700 kilometers. It is called the Balboa Isthmus and consists of rainforests, mountains, inland seas, and rivers.

But even in the midst of this complex terrain, there is no route that allows ships to pass through, and it is impossible to connect the east and west coasts.

However, most of the colonies of Cyrus are located on the west coast of the mainland.

Usually, they usually transport the gold and silver produced by Milong and New Sirius by sea to Balboa City on the side of the Sea of ​​Broken Stars.

Then they will be transported by mules and horses through the tropical jungle of the Balboa Isthmus, and transported to the Port of Dios on the Golden Sea, and then shipped back to the country by sea.

Goods are fine.

However, if the fleet of ships wanted to get from the west coast of the New World to the east coast, they could only cross the vast sea, pass through the southernmost Cape Froward, and circle around the coastline of the New World little by little.

Fleets sent from the northernmost Viceroyalty of New Cyrus, and even the slightly closer Viceroyalty of New Granada.

Even with smooth sailing, it would take two full months to bypass the entire southern part of the New World and arrive at Fort Navidad in the "Golden Sea".

This is also the closest naval base to the Potosi Silver Mine in Silius.

The second shortest distance is actually the farthest geographical distance, located in the southernmost part of the New World, the Vice King of La Plata.

Although part of the territory of this colony is on the east coast, it will take about a month for the reinforcements to sail to the "Golden Sea", and it will take another 20 days to set off from the Golden Sea.

So a full month after the sea supply line blockade started, Aiwen and the others finally ushered in an aid fleet that came all the way from La Plata's vice-king area.

In fact, if it weren't for the accidental intelligence leak of the vanguard, they wouldn't have mobilized their forces so hastily.

After establishing an outpost on Potosi Island, it is entirely possible to calmly deploy military forces, and then combine the forces of the four sub-kingdoms to crush it majestically.

It was the accidental exposure of Silver Island that added infinite variables and brought this "Silver War" into a stalemate.

It also gave Ai Wen and the others a chance to fish in troubled waters.

A group of officers in sharp navy uniforms had come to the poop for a pre-battle meeting.

"There is actually a third-tier ship of Sirius?

Your Excellency, Captain! Conventional combat power is not a big problem.

However, according to Silius' tradition, large battleships such as third-tier ships are generally equipped with patriarch-level (second-level extraordinary) clergy from the Church of the 'Eternal Flame'.

At critical moments, priests may also provide various spell countering abilities, we must be careful. "

Boris, who has been fully integrated into the "Storm Horn", has the special authority that Ivan has opened for him, and he has already used the powerful intelligence capabilities on this ship with ease.

The first time he saw the opponent, he had already proposed to Aiwen the part that was most likely to go wrong in this ambush based on his own experience.

"Okay, I know!"

I didn't ask how Boris gained these experiences. There are too many possibilities for conflicts in the frontal battlefield and the disguised privateer fleet serving in the New World for twenty years.

Hearing his advice, Ai Wen was only eager to try.

Gently rubbing the "oak fruit" worn on his neck, of course the opponent of spells can only be spells, the time has come to verify the results of his research during this period.

In the distance, the Cyrus fleet, the flagship "Singdenburg".

"Your Excellency, Captain! Why don't we wait for the supply fleet from Fort Navidad to set off together?

Didn't the front line send back information that the sea area is not peaceful recently, and many small-scale supply fleets have disappeared? "

In the captain's room of the 'Singdenburg', which is the flagship and the lead ship, two officers and a clergyman in a red-edged robe with a white background sat around the command table and looked at the chart on the table.

The priest with wavy hair and short beard asked suddenly.

"Principal Edmund, please rest assured that nothing will happen.

The missing ones were all supply ships and merchant ships with little combat effectiveness. The so-called 'sea ghosts' were nothing more than tricks played by Sark or Atlan.

Maybe there are still some guys who are unwilling to be lonely behind the scenes and making troubles.

But any conspiracy is meaningless in the face of absolute strength. With this third-tier battleship 'Singdenburg', any enemy will only be crushed directly. "

The captain, Colonel Stanley, looked at the actual supreme commander next to him, Colonel Reynolds Ban, who belonged to the army, and explained to the servant of the "Eternal Flame" very easily.

"And as far as I know, those restless countries have not prepared a few third-tier battleships in the entire New World, for fear that the kingdom will not be pleasing to the eye, and they will send their hard-earned wealth to the bottom of the sea.

Unless they dispatch 'quasi-legendary' to completely set off a national war, no one will be our opponent! "

Although this is a bit proud to say, they do have the confidence to be proud.

At this time, he had a total of four warships under his command.

In the military configuration of the New World, the third-tier battleship "Xindenburg", which is almost the most powerful under the quasi-legendary, and three fully armed fifth-tier cruisers.

In particular, the "Singdenburg" is a large ship with 74 shipboard artillery, a total of: 28 32-pounder guns, 30 24-pounder guns, and 16 9-pounder guns.

With a capacity of 680 people and a displacement of 2,950 tons, it is also the main battleship among naval battleships. It is the most perfect combination of firepower, speed and cost in this era, and it is the backbone of the battle line.

Unlike the compromise model of the fourth-tier ship, the third-tier ship is a real weapon to suppress sea power, and it is also one of the foundations of a country's naval power.

And because of Sirius's usual naval warfare tactics, their warships are far wider, longer, and larger than those of other countries, and they have extraordinary stability.

Like a mobile fortress on the sea, it is condescending during the boarding battle and has unparalleled combat advantages.

If others want to attack them, they must first capture a huge sea fortress.

"What's more, even if there is really a 'Sea Ghost', you, the servant of the 'Eternal Flame', are still there. I believe that in your flames, any evil will be purified!"

"This is the power of God! The flame protects the world. Those who stand within the light will never be harmed by evil!"

Edmund folded his hands on his chest and reverently preached the prayers of the "Eternal Flame" church.

The two officers looked at each other, and at the same time crossed their hands and chanted loudly:

"The fire purifies our souls!"
