Section 21 Expansion of the fleet
Because His Majesty the Emperor attached great importance to overseas expansion in the early stage, the expansion fleet led by Yarman was luxurious in terms of configuration.
The flagship of the fleet is the newly commissioned main ship of the Imperial Navy, a three-deck sail warship made of a mixture of steel plate and wood, and the two frigates are also the Navy's regular two-deck sail warships today. Moreover, each warship is equipped with the Empire's most advanced artillery, protective devices, and magic guns, and there is even a short-range teleportation circle on the flagship!
And the entourage is even more abundant, such as a team of bachelors who are in charge of medical treatment, elite navies selected from the navy, mages led by magic professors, and so on.
However, due to the fact that the past year had achieved little in the past year, and at the same time the outbreak of all-out war under the Felder Command, the Prime Minister's government had on several occasions applied to His Majesty the Emperor to suspend the plan to expand the sea and assign the fleet's warships to the Combined Fleet, so as to strengthen the Empire's combat power in the eastern seas.
His Majesty the Emperor, although he did not agree to the Prime Minister's request, cut the fleet by nearly half, and the funds were decreasing every month as the war on the front became more and more intense.
Yarman had some quarrels with Prime Minister Bipp and Sir Derick, and it was His Majesty the Emperor who wrote a letter to Yalman to settle the dispute. The Emperor's letter authorized Yarman, allowing him to use the ocean-going capabilities of the fleet to raise his own funds, and asked the Prime Minister's government to issue a special chamber of commerce certificate to the fleet, exempt the fleet from customs duties and transaction taxes, and not to interfere with the progress of the fleet's expansion for ten years.
However, in order to prevent people from using the expansion fleet to smuggle, the special chamber of commerce certificate specifically stipulates that valuables shall not be sold, and the police department also specially sends a team of police officers to the fleet for this purpose, on the one hand, to prevent malicious infiltration by other forces, and on the other hand, to prevent Yarman from using the convenience of the fleet to smuggle, and the police team uses a rotation system, that is, once the fleet docks, all members of the police team will be immediately replaced and subject to questioning for up to half a month.
The 'Radiance', the name of the flagship of the fleet was named by His Majesty the Emperor, and every time Yarman saw the mark on this battleship, his chest seemed to be grabbed by an invisible force, and an indescribable heartache made his breathing become a little short.
"Muvet is in the first officer room on the second floor. Aki blocked Yarman's view.
"Let's go. Yarman shrugged his shoulders without any change in mood on the surface, and smiled in response to the sailor who greeted him.
The sound of low footsteps on the damp deck, the rotting smell of the planks and the fishy smell of the sea penetrating Yarman's lungs, gave Yarman, who was accustomed to life on the ship, an indescribable sense of reassurance.
The various supply crates and the dense sailor's hammocks on the second deck make the otherwise spacious space a little cramped.
Although the funds and salaries of the fleet were not high, most of the sailors, whether rich or not, went to the shore to enjoy the wonderful life on land, and the two-deck rest area with no one was as dark and eerie as the scene in a horror story.
"The smell of death is too strong, and he simply doesn't fit to be here. Yarman frowned and stared at the first mate's room at the back of the lounge area.
"I've given the order that no one will come here for three days. β
"Three days from now?"
"The town of Sekka has promised to provide us with a double-decker sail warship that was decommissioned last year, and it can be delivered tomorrow. β
"What conditions?" said Yarman, who walked to the door and stopped.
He put his hand on the handle of the cabin door and looked back at Yarman and said, "He wants us to transport a batch of explosives to Cook Town, and escort fifty Felder Lords back to Sekka Town." β
"Win-win conditions, by the way, you can go to the Hoko Islands and bring some tropical fruits to the town of Seka to earn some money. Yarman motioned for Koqi to open the door, "But only if the ship can withstand the ocean voyage." β
The sound of "creaking" echoed through the empty cabin as the damp door was pushed open, and a rotten aura made Yarman and Qi frown at the same time, and the holy power manifested and covered their entire bodies.
"My friend, long time no see. Muvet's dark blue eyes were like two lights in the dark cabin, staring straight at Yarman and Khozi standing in the doorway.
"You've changed a lot. With a wave of his hand, Yarman's holy power instantly filled this room that had been corrupted by evil, and the evil energy encountered Yarman's holy power quickly subsided like fire encountering water.
After the evil energy subsided, although it was still dark in the cabin, the light from the outside was finally able to shine through.
"Didn't you expect my change?" Muvet was dressed in a sailor's suit at the moment, and his exposed arms and the pale skin on his face were a little strange in the dim light.
"Eighteen years ago, you didn't tell me to tell that idiot at Laubert, and if it weren't for the conflicts you created, how could there be a new empire today?" Muvet's words were full of jokes, and the original pale skin of his body returned to blood at a speed visible to the naked eye as he spoke.
"I've never had a plan like this, it's your memory that's wrong. Yarman shook his head in denial.
"Well," Muvet-FΓΌller shrugged, "these things don't matter anymore... What matters is the future, our future. He said as he stretched out his arms and lowered his head to look at himself now, "I just hope you don't dislike me now." β
Yarman walked to the wooden bench by the window and sat down while Muvet-Phil was talking, and leaned his back against the damp bulkhead, and after Muvet-Phil finished speaking, he looked at the other party and was silent for more than ten seconds before saying: "There is no distinction between evil and good in power, in my eyes, there is no difference between the immortality of the elves and the immortality, it's just... Death can make people panic, but the strong life force makes people yearn for it, and the power of holy power, evil energy, elemental, magic, etc., is just expressed in a different way. β
"I'm not interested in your thoughts, so let's talk about our future. Muvet Phil sat down across from Yarman and took the initiative to change the subject of the conversation that had been caused by him, "Are you sure that the 'Bloodborne' is in the New World?"
"Not sure, but at least sure. Yarman glanced at him and motioned for him to go outside the door and look.
"But what I can confirm is that there are new civilizations beyond the endless sea, and it is very likely that the dead and the living coexist in the world, and they are more knowledgeable than we are, and have the possibility to explore the universe. Yarman continued, "The Mage Tower discovered this more than a hundred years ago. β
"In the ancient memories of the undead, once upon a time many civilizations on this continent could explore the universe. Muvet-Filin nodded subconsciously, "But now the area we are in seems to be cursed... It's as if we're trapped in a giant cage, encircled by an invisible force... Since I was promoted to the Undead Monarch, I have tried to connect to the realm beyond this void more than once, but each time I have failed. β
"The riot of the magic net 10,000 years ago forced the continent of Quetnano to break up and separate, and we are the ones who were punished for that mistake. Yarman said this from between his teeth.
"Do you think we have a way to escape from this cage?" asked Muvet-Felle.
"Ten thousand years have passed, and the time of captivity should be over!"
"Oh?"
"The Order of Chaos has emerged, and the messengers of the Holy Spirit are ruling the continent. Yarman looked at Muvet-Fyler as he said, "The gods have forgiven us... The whirlpools beyond the endless sea are shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye, and perhaps the next time we go out to sea, we will find a way to reach the New World. β
"But I may not find it for decades!" Muvet-Feller's expression became more serious, "I now have endless years, and although Pedy Reagan does not allow me to set foot on land anymore, he does not limit my freedom at sea... I can wait, you... Can you wait?"
"I can also wait, although I don't have your eternal life, but the Holy Power will give me a long life force. β
"The one in the Undead Legion? What does he think now?"
"He's more useful, don't contact him just yet. β
