Transcendent Journey

The 3rd day after the pirate siege.

The time of parting finally arrived.

Ivan alone boarded the merchant ship “Yellow Hu”, which was temporarily docked at Leopold.

Destination: Falitis, the third largest military port on the west coast-Gabriel.

Standing at the stern of the boat, seabirds sang and hovered above him, and the brackish sea breeze slowly blew his face. The snow-white waves disappeared from behind the boat, and the place where he had lived for five years, Leopold, also disappeared gradually.

Before leaving, Ivan didn’t notify anyone and walked quietly. But he believes that when he comes back here next time, everything will be different!

“Mr. Ivan, let me take you to the cabin. The weather in the past few days was good and the waves were not high. The captain said that we could reach Gabriel in two days with full sails.” A very young man The sailor of Philip walked up to Ivan and enthusiastically introduced the voyage to Ivan.

After all, Ivan was the place where Viscount Andrea had booked and sent someone to the ship. The crew members could not guess Ivan’s identity and naturally tried their best to take care of it.

Ivan nodded lightly and followed the young sailor into the cabin.

Invisibly, I owed the old man a favor, but Ivan calmed down. As the saying goes, I have a lot of debt. If I let myself find a boat to Gabriel in a short time, it would not be easy.

The Huanghu ship is 42 meters long and has a capacity of 200 people. It is a very mature three-masted galleon.

Don’t look at Ivan who is about to join the navy, but this “Yellow Husky” is strictly the first large sea ship he took. Compared with the small sampan fishing boat that I have taken before, it is more limited than a wooden board.

So after putting down his luggage, Ivan couldn’t help returning to the deck and visiting the big ship.

Knowing that this passenger has a special identity, even the most loyal crew member will not take care of him.

Standing in a corner that does not affect the operation of the crew, Ivan looked up at the magnificent sails on the sailboat. The three masts at the front, middle and rear, especially the main mast, almost reach the height of a 4-Layer building. Standing on the deck, looking up is dazzling.

The four sections of white sails consisting of main sail, upper sail, top sail, and extreme top sail are already full of wind and begin to provide endless power for the sea-going vessel.

The long sails with gray and big beards direct the crew under him to continuously fine-tune the sails, and strive to ensure the stability of the ship to the utmost extent while ensuring the speed of the ship. Even though Ivan had been exposed to relevant knowledge since he was a child, he still felt unclear and violent the first time he saw it with his own eyes.

The beard glanced at this guy who was staring at him with a curious look. He really couldn’t guess what was going on with this guest?

It seems like nails are stuck under my feet, and keeping my balance is as simple as eating and drinking. Standing on the bumpy deck is more stable than the old sailors, as if I had been living in the sea since I was a child.

But he is so curious about everything on the ship, from a plank to a cable, even the zipline on the mast can stare at it for a long time, if it’s not for this guy. I want to come up and control the rope to try my skills.

From this point of view, it looks like a complete novice, which is really strange.

Remembering the captain’s special instructions, the bearded sailor commanded his sailors to look after the sails. He walked to Ivan, who was standing aside and was watching with keen interest pleasure, and asked: “Mr. Interested?”

“Uh…yes, because I went to Gabriel to join the navy and want to know about life on the ship in advance. Did I disturb you?” Ivan hesitated, himself There is no need to conceal the purpose.

“no no no, no. But if you are interested, I can introduce you to this beautiful big guy at our feet!” The sail cable was surprisingly long and reasonable, and offered to introduce Ivan. Sailing recommendations.

Ivan gladly accepted.

He also knows that all he can get the extra-spec preferential treatment is the face of Viscount Andrea.

What he didn’t know was that there was actually a part of Viscount’s shares on the Yellow Husky. After Leopold loaded part of the cargo, they arrived at Gabriel and filled the warehouse with the fleet. Let’s set off for the new continent and start an ocean voyage.

“Our Huanghu has just been launched for four years, and it was at its best…”

The pleasant conversation lasted for half an hour. During the visit, Ivan’s data-based vision just and honorable modeled the entire “Yellow Hu”. It can even be said that Ivan already knows it better than many old sailors who have worked on the Yellow Hu for many years.

Among them, what surprised Ivan the most was that the “Yellow Hu” was not an ordinary cargo merchant ship, but an armed merchant ship not just in name only, but also in reality.

According to the cable length, the hull of this ship has been specially modified, and it is impossible to see where the muzzle is from the outside. But as long as the hidden guard is opened, the ship will immediately reveal its hideous inner part, giving the incoming pirate ship a good look!

Ivan was nodded on the surface, but he didn’t believe a word in his heart.

Prevent piracy? I’m afraid it is disguised as a normal merchant ship, and after getting close to other merchant ships, let’s transform into a looting ship!

It’s just that private pillage at sea is a common phenomenon now. As long as there is a private pillage license and only target enemy countries, there is no problem. Ivan wouldn’t be so stupid to expose it in person.

At noon, when the captain Joseph was warmly invited to have lunch, Ivan realized that there was only one passenger on the ship.

After knocking on the side, I learned that Viscount Andrea was also one of the shareholders of this ship. Under his arrangement, the “Yellow Swan” opened a private room for himself, and he could not help but sigh secretly. man just got it!

And Ivan believes that what he sees is definitely only his tip of the iceberg. This Viscount is definitely a deeply hidden old fox.

Because I was still sailing offshore, the supplies were sufficient and the lunch was also very good. Unfortunately, today is not Ivan’s lucky day, and he is destined to miss this lunch.

“Clang, clang, clang…”

I just tasted a sip of the pre-dinner soup delivered by the sailor who was a guest waiter, and the boat rang suddenly The alarm bell, which was issued by the sailor on the mainmast when he noticed a dangerous situation.

On an empty, fixed commercial route, this kind of warning usually only represents one situation, that is, pirates!

Slowly wiping his mouth with a napkin, the curly-haired uncle on the red face opposite Ivan calmly said: “Small accidents, I will take care of them. Mr. Ivan will just stay in this room and wait.”

After speaking, he picked up the knife set by the table and strode out. After a while, the voice of his commanding Ruo Ding came from outside. The sound of the crew running back and forth was very rhythmic. Although nervous, they were not panicked.

“bang! ”“bang!” “bang! ”

Soon, the shelling sounded one after another, although it did not hit the Yellow Hu, it also caused splashes near the merchant ship The huge splash, oh la la oh la la, fell on the deck, creating an extremely tense atmosphere.

“The pirates are here, the non-combatants immediately return to the cabin, and the combatants are in their respective positions! If you dare to hit the Yellow Owl, I will break his jaw!” Captain Joseph gave the crew a calm voice. Great encouragement.

Ivan looked out from the porthole, and a sloop with a scarlet anchor painted on its black sails was fast approaching in his direction.

Slowly adjust the hull while driving, aiming the ten artillery on the sideboard at this side without breaking the fire. Obviously, he wants to stop the big fat sheep, which seems to be carrying a lot of cargo.

In fact, in the era of sailing wooden boats and artillery naval battles, in the same level ship artillery battle, the probability of directly using artillery to sink the enemy ship is very low. In the end, gang wars are unavoidable, and this is especially true of pirate raids, which are attacks to capture opponent ships.

Otherwise, even if the merchant ship is sunk, there will be no benefit at all, so why bother?

So when the Blood Anchor Pirate was almost driving parallel to the Yellow Hu, most of the muzzles on the side facing the Yellow Hu were not opened, and only single-digit artillery fired sporadically, threatening. merchant ship.

Obviously, the disguise of the Huanghu successfully concealed the pirates, leaving them unaware of the hidden threat in this ordinary merchant ship.

Zac, the blood anchor, put down the monocular Telescope in his hand.

Although it’s a bit tricky to feel that the number of sailors on the opponent’s ship exceeds that of my own, it’s just a small trouble. With the strength of my pirates, facing ordinary merchant ship crews, even one hit two can win. It has to be clean and neat.

Pulling out a body protection symbol composed of crossed black wings on the neck, Zach prayed silently: “God of black wings, bless you!”
