860 Dyrrens Big Twist (II)
In the dark night, with no fingers in sight, the rain raged on the sea level, and the raindrops the size of beans were densely sprinkled on the deck of the Salander warship, splashing the water. The deck is washed by the rain and forms a trickle, which converges with the deck towards the center
It was a fleet of ships crossing the Strait of Vecchia at night, and on sixty two-masted and double-sailed potbelly merchant ships guarded by four naval dragontooth ships, sailors were struggling to sweep away the stagnant water from the ship's side.
The coiled rope twisted in all directions as if it had been spiritually blown by the sea wind, and the mainsails on all four sides of the mast had been lowered, and the rain fell on the mast with a white splash
Heavy rain outside, light rain inside the cabin is inevitable. Even though all the sails have fallen, everyone on board can still clearly feel the turbulence and helplessness of the ship in the storm. In the face of the majesty of nature, it is like an eyeless little ant, which may be destroyed at any time.
"I really didn't expect to encounter a storm here!"
One of the captains looked at the black sky outside with a somewhat ugly face, and the situation in the captain's room was slightly better. This slightly better means that there is no water leakage here,
But the jolting and shaking continued unabated, and the windproof lamps hanging on the wooden walls flickered on and off, blurring the faces of the people inside, and under the miserable yellow light, everyone's faces were sallow, like a group of demons out of hell.
The other shipping industries are more or less like this, although the scale of the storm is not very large, but suddenly it is encountered in the dark night, and it is enough for the fleet to be busy for a while, and in the cargo hold of the merchant ship, where the goods used to be piled up, are now completely crowded with people.
There were about five or six hundred people on one ship, and three or four thousand on sixty ships, most of them men, who were crowded at the very bottom of the cabin, swaying with the shaking hull,
Under the ravages of the storm and heavy rain, these people have long been frightened with blue lips, cold and frightened, and their whole bodies are constantly shaking, even some old people who are old and dignified, and some women are hugging each other tightly, like quails, and their mouths are constantly making exclamation sounds.
"Tell those merchant ships, this is just a temporary storm, as long as the mainsail is not raised, there will be no danger! The most important thing is that the cargo on their ships should not be damaged, it is a precious "resource"!" On the dragon tooth ship in charge of escorting, the commander of the third fleet, Ella Zedo, shouted loudly to the deputy behind him,
Soon, his order was conveyed by the flag-bearer of the ship, with the shade lamp in his hand, and the scattered shade lamps of the entire fleet became the only light in the darkness.
As Erazar analyzed, this temporary storm disappeared into the calm sea when the sky began to lighten, and the fleet followed the established course towards the opposite coast,
"Accelerate with all your might" Ella Ze looked at the sky above her head and ordered loudly,
"Bumping" the white sails on the sea surface in full swing, like a swollen flag, the speed of the fleet began to increase, like a huge iron plough splitting the waves in front of you, dragging a long water mark on the calm sea,
In the afternoon, the fleet sailed smoothly into a port in Dyrens.
Seeing a figure already standing in the harbor below, Aylazar hurriedly stepped down from his flagship and saluted one of the figures, "Report to Lord Hukochili, Captain Arazel of the Third Squadron of the Falcon Navy reports to you!"
"Elazigh, how could it be you!"
Hukochili's face was stunned for a moment, and then he showed an unconcealable surprise: "Haven't you already been transferred to Sarande's Southern Army, how can you become the captain of the navy again?"
"Hehe, I don't know, the order I received was indeed to go to the Southern Army, but I don't know why, halfway through, I received a new order to transfer me to the fleet of the commander of the naval privateer fleet, Dustrenkay"...,
"Oh, you are the only one who received such an order?, or is it like this in the group of people who were transferred away at the beginning?" Hukochili's tone was a little solemn, when he was first transferred, it was just when he had just won the battle against the Kujits, in order to adjust the configuration of the Central Army, a number of outstanding middle-level officers were transferred from the Central Army to serve in the south,
Elazer touched his head a little embarrassed, "Not only me, but also Rolls Acre, Bodanido, and Siande who received the appointment with me, the three of them are now the fourth, The captains of the Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet, this time have been transferred to the Nord Sea to fight, only I stayed in charge of the defense of the sea area because the ship was resting, this time I received an order to escort a batch of important supplies, but my subordinates definitely did not expect to meet adults here, if a few of them knew, I could return to fight under the command of adults, I am afraid that I will also drool with envy!"
"Hehe, it's actually not bad to be in the navy!" Hukochi patted him on the shoulder teasingly, thinking of his connection with Dyrance for the port, and said a little distractedly, "You are all brought out by me, I believe that the arm that was able to wield a war knife at the beginning can also run the rudder of the navy freely?"
"Let's talk about it, what good things have been brought to my old boss this time, if the things are not good, I will return them!"
Hukochili looked at the fleet curiously, trying to see what the mysterious reinforcements were like, but he was disappointed, and saw some scattered merchant sailors also looking curiously, to say that these were reinforcements, that would be a joke
"Definitely a good thing!" Ella smiled at the corner of her mouth and took out a list from her arms, "It's all written on this, because it's a matter of confidentiality, so the Admiralty requires strict secrecy, in fact, except for me, the entire fleet doesn't know the value of this shipment!"
"Really, I'm very picky!" Hu Keqili smiled at the corner of his mouth, took the list from Ella's hand, swept his gaze, and before he finished reading, the smile just now had disappeared, and after half a ring, he asked in disbelief, "According to the above, all the Thor on these four ships are the materials for this support?"
"Yes, the Third Squadron will have full authority to cooperate with the adults in this battle, and naturally what the adults think, that's what they think!" said Ella as she straightened up
Hu Keqili's hot gaze swept the closed gun compartments of the four dragon tooth ships, looked at the two rows of hatches side by side, and was already excited to help himself, and asked, "All these Thor combined, I'm afraid there are only 100 doors!"
"The left and right sides of the ship, plus the four heavy Thor transported from Salander, a total of 168 guns!" Elazer replied with a stern expression, "There are also a total of 2,300 rounds of supply Thor shells brought this time, which is all the remaining stocks of the entire privateer fleet, and Commander Dustrunkai specially explained that as long as it is what the adults want, the privateer fleet will fully support it."
"What about this...... What's going on?" asked Hukochili as he continued to look excitedly, his face surprised
