"Sorry, Captain, I let you down ..."

When Lu Yuan was awakened by the knock on the door and got up to open the door, he saw that the young man Jin Jinbo had said such a confession. He pressed his forehead to disperse his sleep. At least for this young man, he couldn't catch fire.

Juvenile Kim stood with his head down in front of the captain's room, while Jacques stood slightly behind him. Lu Yuan noticed that he had taken off the duty badge on his chest and clutched it tightly in his hand. Seeing Lu Yuan's eyes turned, Jin bit his lips and straightened his body, raised his head and looked forward, apparently ready to accept any punishment.

Lu Yuan observed his dark eyes and swollen shoulders. Obviously, he was driving the boat all night (rotation, the first overnight driving was normal.) The teenager looked very nervous, like after After a long battle, his hair and the front and back of his clothes were covered with sweat. And even though he was confessing his mistakes, Lu Yuan saw more in his eyes, not reconciled.

"I thought the ship was sinking ..." Lu Yuan stomped on the lower deck, relying on the anti-seismic induction, after roughly knowing that there was nothing wrong with the ship, he whispered. He straightened his messy hair and put the triangle captain's cap back on his head. "what time is it now?"

"Oh," did not expect Lu Yuan to ask this question at all, and Jin was confused. "Six o'clock. Captain."

"Well, it's hard work." Lu Yuan patted his head. Take the lead towards the stern. "Tell me what's going on ... Damn, it's obviously eight o'clock when it's time to change shifts! I said that unless the ship is sinking. Don't wake up ..."

Lu Yuan was still complaining, and Jin suddenly made up his mind to interrupt Lu Yuan's nagging, "We are surrounded, sir!"

"What?" Lu Yuan stopped a little confused, he looked out of the ship's side. Except that there is a line of fish belly white in the sky, it is almost black, but Lu Yuan can at least confirm that there are no boats nearby, only the **** "Blue Bird" still lags behind.

Kim did not rush to speak, he took a deep breath first. Then I explained clearly and clearly, "After the night last night, I lowered the boat to half speed to enter the night voyage. During that time, the Bluebird continued to try to approach and attack us, all forced by my side. But then I found out that he threatened us on the port side more often than on the starboard side ... that is, I was fooled! I was deceived by him and deviated from the scheduled route, and walked at least forty nautical miles south! At the time, Jacques discovered that the Saint Martin fleet appeared fifteen nautical miles to the right! "

"So why is it surrounded?" Hearing Kim's description. Lu Yuan actually reached the same conclusion as him immediately, but he still deliberately asked Jin to let him continue to play.

"I ... guess, Captain." The teenager said so. But his tone revealed a "must be like this" smell inside and outside. Obviously, Jin Shizhong believed his judgment.

Lu Yuan nodded recklessly and asked him to continue. Jin scratched her hair anxiously. "The Bluebird has been forcing us to go south, and then the local fleet of Port Saint Martin appeared on the west ... this must not be a coincidence! I want to be in several other directions. There must be a British fleet waiting early. There, this is a trap that was prepared long ago. We were driven into a big pocket, Captain. "

"Your judgment is correct, it is also appropriate to avoid the harassment of the Bluebird to the south." Lu Yuan nodded his head, affirming the juvenile's judgment on the situation, but he still extended his hand and spread it out in front of Kim. "The only mistake is that you should wake me up when you just find the problem."

Lu Yuan said this because Kim drove at least another fifteen nautical miles before waking him up. Only when he knew that he could not get out of this pocket anyway, he remembered Lu Yuan ...

Seeing Lu Yuan reaching his hand in front of him, Jin shivered violently, and then his eyes were filled with tears.

But he still bit his lip and endured it. He put the badge of the officer on duty in his hand and put it gently on Lu Yuan's palm.

Lu Yuan said a word silently. The fingerprints and sweat stains on the badge disappeared instantly, cleaned it up, and turned into a pleated glow again. He twisted the badge and pinned it on Jin's chest again, and then helped him organize his clothes again. "Don't take it yourself again ... Kim, the ship hasn't sank yet. Before eight o'clock, you are still my duty officer."

Lu Yuan walked up to the stern tower immediately, but did not stand beside the wheel rudder. He just issued a command loudly, "The officer on duty, left full rudder, if the Bluebird dare to approach again, hit it!"

"Follow the instructions, Captain!" Jin promised excitedly, turning and running towards the rudder. When Lu Yuan saw his back to his back, he quickly wiped tears and couldn't help laughing. In the end, he was just a 14-year-old child ... Jin's character was really not suitable for being an adjutant. He was too stubborn and believed his judgment too. But this happens to be a necessary quality for a good captain. "Maybe the" Maria "can be given to him in the future ..."

"Jacques!"

"in!"

"I want you to go to the lookout and help me stare at the East! I noticed that the British immediately notified me that I wanted to know how big his bag was!" Lu Yuan took out a nearby chart and sat directly regardless of his image On the deck, it began to be marked on it. If the encircling circle has not yet formed, then of course Lu Yuan is breaking through. If the enclosure has been sealed ... his finger moved south on the chart, and finally pointed to the position of a large desert island, "Then put the ship in a bottle and then go on the island to fight guerrilla!"

"Got it, Captain." Jacques quickly climbed the main mast along the rope ladder and drove the man who had just shifted back to him. The guy crawled down and scolded along the way, looking in the direction of Lu Yuan. He seemed to be looking for the captain to complain! Crew members are always sensitive to such things as grabbing position, whether it is a bed, a gun or a position.

Lu Yuanruo turned his head casually. Pretend not to see it. At this time, he only believed in Jacques' eyes!

"How many winds are there now?" Lu Yuan puzzled with his fingers in the air. You can hardly feel the sea breeze.

"Less than Class 2, Captain." Kim replied on the edge.

"Bitch!" Lu Yuan scolded bitterly.

*

After seeing the "Maria" firmly turning left. The Bluebird, who had been forcing him on the port side, knew immediately that the trap was exposed. This slippery guy ran away from the ground for the first time, and even the range of 300 meters was no longer close.

Before the "Maria" was running away from the "Blue Bird", it was the same as walking on the street to avoid the mad dog, but I didn't want to be bitten by the mad dog. But now the goal of the "Maria" is to break out of the encirclement, so it is also very possible to get rid of the "Blue Bird" with battle damage.

Therefore, the "Blue Bird" changed its active style just before it was soy sauce-like. It was far behind, and any action of the "Maria" was ignored.

Looks. That seems to be her task.

...

The weather in March and April, and the gentle sea breeze, caused a boat to be drowsy. The comfortable climate made people hurt.

The speed of the ship even hurt Lu Yuan.

In the afternoon, the ship sailed out a dozen nautical miles away, and was just able to see the black line of the land from afar.

"The British fleet was found! ... Yes, the local fleet of Guaptiló! In the East!" Jacques reported loudly on the mast, pointing his hand at three o'clock. At this time, if you stand at the height of Lu Yuan. Even the tip of each other's mast hasn't shown the horizon.

Lu Yuan once again spread out the charts on the deck. Thinking about the preciousness of charts in this era, this is another stupid thing that no captain can do. He sketched directly on the drawings, and soon a battle situation spread throughout the Eastern Caribbean. Appeared on the drawing.

"To the west is the San Martin Regional Fleet, about seven warships of Class IV and above; to the east is the Guaptillo Regional Fleet and Colonial Fleet, about fifteen to twenty-five warships; to the north ... I guess it is stationed in St. Juan ’s East India Company Caribbean Fleet. Forty-two battleships! What a big pocket ... "Lu Yuan teased, and then frowned. Such a big move, just for the "Maria"? This pocket is somewhat exaggerated like a cannon hitting a mosquito. "Who is south?" Lu Yuan pondered. He didn't believe that the British knew how to make a round of three, and the south was the decisive position, and it would definitely be reserved for the most reliable fleet!

But he broke his fingers for half a day and found that unless the help of the navy of other countries was used, the British might not be able to send more warships.

"South ..." Lu Yuan pondered, and several officer classes such as Auguste, Misha, and Chicken stood beside him, waiting for him to make a final decision.

In such weather, lack of wind, the speed difference becomes very small. If you want to get out of this pocket, it seems that you can only go south ... using the speed and operation of the ship to accumulate a little advantage. Just like a marathon long-distance race, under such wind conditions, it may take a whole day to jump enough to jump out of your pocket.

But what's in the south?

"Southward!" Lu Yuan nodded and strode toward the cabin. Maybe something like that has come to play.

"Azure Blue Ship Canvas" manufacturing drawings:

It is specially used to manufacture a kind of manufacturing drawings of dark blue high-quality boat canvas.

The Spanish shipbuilder Oren, one of the inventors of the Galen battleship, worked to make up for the design flaws of the Galen ship in his later years. He will try to split up the strengthening of various components in the way of making magic warships as a whole. "Azure boat canvas" is one of the achievements he has completed.

Requirements: Carpenter level greater than 40. (Limited to Lu Yuan)

Uses: 10/10

Note 1: Every time you use the drawings, you can use ten-inch new ordinary canvas, four-inch common cable, 20-inch cotton cloth, two-inch dye, and provide additional assets worth 4,500 pesos (coins, jewelry , Gouto gold ... etc.).

Each use can produce twelve-foot high-quality ship canvas.

Explanation 2: The azure boat canvas, this special canvas reinforced by magic, is more durable than ordinary canvas, and will not be damaged even after a storm. However, it cannot be repaired after being damaged. Azure canvas can attract the breeze at sea. It can effectively increase the speed of the ship in the breeze. (The durability of the sail is increased to 200, and the minimum speed of the ship is +1 knot!)

————————

This is when Lu Yuan's carpenter level reached 40. The light gold drawing parsed out is one of two gold drawings presented by Trinidad's shipbuilding master Oren!

This drawing is so practical. And it's highly targeted. It's nothing like those treasure chests. It always produces messy things!

So much so that Lu Yuan's expectation for another gold drawing that requires carpenter level 60 to be resolved is instantly full, full of reverie. This kind of sail should be designed to improve the slow speed of the Galen ship, and the old man can also be considered for the good intentions of Spain.

Some people may say that since the defects of the Galen ship have been known, why should they keep the Galen ship? Why not just build a better battleship? But you know above the ocean. How many Galen ships are still sailing? The number is unclear!

The service life of the ship is very long. Most of the Gallen battleships owned by the Kingdom of Spain are still in their prime of service. If that number is to be replaced by all new battleships, it is not enough to fill the wealth of the entire Spain! Therefore, knowing that the navy is hard to return to, it is still the only way to see the Galen ship.

Lu Yuan greeted several sailors to move the cargo required by the drawings into an empty storage room.

After making an excuse at random, Lu Yuan unfolded the drawings.

There is no gorgeous light and shadow effect, it seems that Oren does not like those gorgeous gimmicks.

Money and dye in the room seem to be "raw materials". Both are decreasing rapidly. At the same time, the canvas placed in the middle began to change from white to light blue, and the color continued to deepen. Lu Yuan walked carefully two steps forward, and looked closely at the canvas. really. In the near future, Lu Yuan can feel the fluctuations of the layers of arcane power. This use of arcane power seems to be very elementary, just carrying particles of matter with magic power. "Padding" the canvas so that it doesn't look thicker. But the texture of canvas is getting more and more dense.

The particles attracted the wind to attach to the canvas, and Lu Yuan just stood here. I already felt the wind blowing slowly. The feeling of this wind seemed familiar, and Lu Yuan recalled it carefully, yes, that is the kind of power used by the Assassin Brothers ’Assassin Master Rayser ...

The manufacture of azure canvas did not take much time. When Lu Yuan walked out of the cabin, the "Maria" was still driving south.

Lu Yuan called Auguste and Zhuo Chick and whispered things. The two first showed a surprised expression, then called several people in joy, and went down to the bottom deck. For confidentiality, these people will be busy there until they go out to fight or leave their pockets.

The current deck officer on duty has been replaced by Misha, Elizabeth is her assistant, and the two are combing the supplies on board.

Both of them were wearing ordinary sailor clothes, and one was carrying a short-barreled shotgun!

They were on duty with the sailors, and once waved their shotguns into enemy ships! After a month of running in, they finally gained the crew's approval. Now even if Auguste is away, they can order the crew. The two beauties usually have a spicy personality when facing the sailor. Although Misha is strict, but as a logistics officer, she is definitely the most generous one to send rum! And Elizabeth ... who made them super like listening to the nobles ... I have to say that the sailors are a bunch of cheap skin!

"Throw them all away!" Following Lu Yuan's order, they were reducing the weight of the ship. So Misha directed the sailors. Put almost all the water and food on the deck!

Upon her order, the sailors were taken aback! Many newcomers stopped directly, and those old sailors who knew the rules honestly moved the bucket, at least a little bit of rubbing.

"We just have so much fresh water! We lost all of it, what do we drink later?" A young black man stood up and questioned. He had been hiding behind that Reginald before, and now he jumped out to speak. That kind of unkind tone made Lu Yuan frown. Misha looked at this man in surprise, but now it is the expressly stipulated fighting moment. At this time, the subordinates are absolutely not allowed to have any doubts about the superiors. All orders must be strictly executed!

It's just that Lu Yuan said before that the matter of black people was left to Reginald to manage. But the Reginald, as if he had not heard the offense of the young black man, lowered his head and concentrated on the bucket of fresh water.

Lu Yuan's complexion froze.

"Lei!" Lu Yuan faced the black man he appointed. Reginald gave a low growl. Without hesitation, he ordered, "Whip Twenty Whip! You will do it yourself!"

Reginald raised his head in amazement, an incomprehensible look.

"Captain, he just said two truths ... please let him go, you see he is still a child, I promise ..." Reginald did not execute the order, but ran to Lu Yuan to ask Feeling up.

Lu Yuan suddenly smiled, he pursed his lips. He kindly said to Reginald, "Do you think I am your dad ?! Plead with me ... what are you!"

He reached out and grabbed Reginald's officer ribbon, and pulled it off!

"You have been dismissed, and if you are not satisfied, take people off my boat! I don't allow this kind of man who plays with me!"

His face chilled, and Reginade shot down the dust without any mercy. Reginald had only been on the ship for half a month, so he dared to challenge his authority? ! Black people ... hehe, it seems they never know to stop before that line!

Lu Yuan turned around and raised his voice to the black man who was passing by. And all the sailors on the deck announced, "Release Reginald's management of the black crew, and all the crew will be managed by the responsible officers in the future! Now is the time of war, I don't want to see any disobedience ..."

His words are not finished yet. The young black man who led to the removal of Reginald because of him shouted again. "You can't do this, what mistake did Reginald make ?! Our black people would not agree ... Ah! Ah ~ ah ~!"

The sailors stepped backwards in horror. Escape from Lu Yuan's side.

Lu Yuan walked over and turned the black man who had just hanged in the air. Let his twisted face directly face the crew. "Black people? I saved you, not because I like black people, it's just because I hate slavery! So, don't treat me as messenger, I'm not your savior! On my ship, the system I set is above everything else! From today, put away your sloppy set and take me seriously! "

He let go of his hand, twitched the cable around the man's neck, and threw the black man's body under Reginald's feet. "You should be aware that your stupidity killed him ... You should understand that only people I trust can lay wild on this boat, you? It's still far away! If the black people never know where the bottom line is, I can kill you before killing the enemy! What do you think? "

Reginald was speechless. He was trembling and lowering his body, not to hug the man's body-he just knelt down with humility and put his head on the deck.

Lu Yuan snorted slightly and returned directly to the stern.

"If you want to leave water, then throw away the rum!" Misha said impatiently, directing these bastards, she also had her own way. On Lu Yuan's ship, the sailors could get double rum, just because Misha thought it was useless. Sure enough, this sentence is much more effective than the previous command, and many sailors kicked the fresh water bucket subconsciously.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Jacques struck the alarm bell on the mast hard, and Lu Yuan raised his head to look at him.

"Captain! There is a ship in front! A lot! A lot! A ship!" Jacques looked quite panicked. He shouted in a mess and even commanded Jin. "It's British! God, Kim, Zuoman rudder ..."

"Leave him alone!" Lu Yuan smiled angrily. He said something to Kim, and made a few long jumps, climbing the lookout on the mast, searching with a telescope in the direction of Jacques.

At the junction of the sky and the sea, a large mast was slowly raised! There are more than a hundred roots, densely erected there, moving here like a strong forest square! It seems that there are more than fifty large ships in it!

"Damn! It is the Far East Fleet of the East India Company. This is what they have been waiting for!" Lu Yuan said helplessly.

He has been speculating that the fleet will be blocked in that area. He has thought about it from various countries to various forces and even chambers of commerce. In Lu Yuan's plan, they were nothing more than a dozen ships, trying to outsource the "Maria".

As long as the ships on both sides do not belong to the same force, Lu Yuan is confident that he can always find a breakout. It is not possible, he still has two big cards in his hand. Either ship on the island to fight guerrillas, or put on blue sails, even in such a breeze, it is still like a fish. Certainly not as dumped as the enemy planned.

Therefore, he is still planning insidiously, and wants to take the chance to get the "Blue Bird"! Solve the problem of gifts. It's a pity ... who can imagine that the Far East Fleet of the East India Company in the Indian Ocean returned to Europe at this time! And also participated in the action of catching his little fish!

This Nima adds up to hundreds of battleships! The cost of using these ships alone is enough to buy a new "Maria".

Since I can't do it, I don't think about it.

Lu Yuan took off his hat and prepared to order the ship to change to the blue sail, and went straight away.

But at this time, Jacques seemed to see Lu Yuan's reluctance. He pulled Lu Yuan's clothes ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and said, "The situation doesn't seem right. Look at the captain, there is still one behind the Far East Fleet A very strange ship! And I have never seen her banner! "

"Strange ship?"

Lu Yuan temporarily let go of his thoughts and also took a telescope to watch it. Both the Far East Fleet and the strange ship are still below the sea level in sight, with no visible hull. You can only see a variety of sailing outfits and flags flying at the tip of the main mast.

There is indeed a ship following the Far East Fleet, but its mast is slightly shorter, so it is seen later. But when calculating the distance, she may not be far from the Far East Fleet, about three or four nautical miles behind her.

But these are not the point!

The point is that the mast of the ship is not only loaded with fish-rib-shaped sails, but also a golden yellow flag with a flying dragon on it ...

Lu Yuan put down his telescope in a strange expression and gently patted his palm with the lens barrel.

"That's a blessed ship, from Daming, thousands of miles away!" (To be continued ...)
