Chapter 387: The ship goes west

Over the past two years, Jacques has sailed the seas many times and even learned the art of navigation.

His favorite thing is to watch the sunrise from the bow of the boat, especially when the sky turns from blue to red, the sun jumps out of the sea, and every time it looks different, or there are a few more clouds, or a gust of wind comes out of thin air, a seabird passes by, or even Jacques himself is in a different mood, it is a new experience.

Therefore, every time the sun rises, as long as there is a condition, he has to watch from the bow of the boat, every time.

After a few months, Jacques was back at sea and could watch the sunrise from the bow of the ship.

This voyage was Jacques' farthest voyage, and his destination was, of course, Tavaré in the middle of the New World.

He didn't sail alone, his fleet consisted of nearly a hundred large warships, most of which were wide-body transports loaded with horses, wild boars, mandrills, and other exotic beasts, and the rest of the space was crammed with all kinds of supplies.

It took only fifteen narrow-sized ships for the human warriors to fill up, and these ships were able to cruise on the flanks of the transports with their faster speeds.

The fleet, which sailed from east to west, first bypassed the southernmost point of the Kingdom of Light, and then headed westward, not along the coast of the Eastern Continent to Castile or Stuart, but all the way west into the ocean.

They set off a month earlier than the main fleet that wanted to travel eastward and prepare to cross the windless misty sea, and according to the prior agreement, it should be after the main fleet landed on the west coast of the New World, this westward fleet slowly arrived on the east coast of the central region of the New World, and then took advantage of the lack of defense to make a big fuss in the Stuart colony.

It was a route that no one had ever traveled, based only on the coordinates of the city of Tavare on the charts, and Jacques had to check the position of the current expeditionary force three times a day to avoid yaws.

These days, Jacques has been calculating the time of arrival in the New World, constantly reviewing the route and observing the hydrology. In fact, these things are naturally taken care of by full-time navigators, and for Jacques, these things are just adding some spice to the boring voyage.

Thinking of his and Lily's embarrassment two years ago, Jacques couldn't help but laugh at himself, taking two captured pirates and driving the stolen pirate ship to find a place to land, only to run aground on the shore, causing the two pirates to escape with a box of silver coins.

I don't know what happened to the two pirates, they were the only two who could get the silver coins from their hands, and even the old leopard returned the thousands of silver coins that he had forgotten on his ship.

At the beginning, I never thought that I would go to the middle of the New World again, and I would actually lead the fleet here.

To say "leading", but it is not appropriate, the commander of this fleet, as well as thousands of boar knights, is the patriarch of the Ugin tribe.

Jacques, on the other hand, had a cabin in the flagship, and no one knew where it came from, except that he would tinker with all kinds of nautical equipment every day, or else he would have nothing to do on the deck.

No one would arrange Jacques to work, and on the first day of boarding, the crew knew that the young couple was the head of the Eastern Front Expeditionary Force, the head of the Ugin Guard, the head of the Shui Han Clan.

Unlike the boys who are idle and like to watch the sunrise, the girls in the young couple hide in the cabin every day and only appear when they are eating.

The crew and sergeants were more familiar with the young couple's pet cat, which roamed the ships every day, always greeted by loving female warriors who offered them warm embraces and delicious dried fish.

Alyssa probably knew that as soon as Lily got on the ship, she would train her mental power behind closed doors, so she simply didn't go to the same boat as them and went to another warship that Shui Zhao was in charge of.

The more than 2,000 warriors, 3,000 sailors, and thousands of alien beasts known as Ugin Wei all knew the purpose of their trip before they set off - to go to the New World to seize land and create enough living space for the Kingdom of Light. city

Whether it is out of belief in the god of light, or gratitude and reverence for the god of the black and white mountains, everyone in the fleet is in high spirits, hoping to be able to reach the New World long ago, defeat the Stuart colonists who oppressed the aborigines, establish overseas colonies of the kingdom of God, and treat everyone in this land equally, well, as long as they also believe in the god of light......

But only a few senior commanders knew that the first destination of the fleet was not to land directly on the east coast, but to attack the city of Tavaré, which was empty in defense due to the division of forces to rescue the west coast.

Rather, it is a small island with a great reputation, but few people know its exact location, Skull Island off the coast of Tavare!

Coincidentally, Jacques was forced to give the exact location of Skull Island because Jacques was trying to calculate when the pirate ship that had escaped back to Skull Island would arrive, and when he would be able to take the other pirate ships after them to kill the pirate ship they had looted.

Skull Island, a mysterious island with no direction to others, is only a small point on Jacques' charts.

Therefore, the capture of Skull Island is the first task of the westbound fleet.

Since Ugin's mission was to fight guerrilla warfare in the Stuart colony of the New World, raiding colonial regiments and towns, and disrupting their rear.

The nature of guerrilla warfare made it difficult for them to establish a base on land, and the fate of the fleet became a problem.

Therefore, the occupation of Skull Island will not only allow you to establish a base on Skull Island and save the ships of the Westbound Fleet, but also support the Uginwei who are fighting on land if necessary.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Moreover, Jacques also heard that the huge wealth that the Mirror Group had plundered for many years was also hidden in Skull Island!

This is another opportunity to make a fortune, and fighting a war naturally consumes a lot of money, and war is always fought in a state of lack of money, and this wealth Jacques will naturally not let go.

Kill three birds with one stone!

After two and a half months of sailing, the westbound fleet of the Bright God Kingdom finally approached the privateer waters of the Mirror Regiment.

Jacques clearly knew that at this time, in the west coast area of the central part of the New World, the main fleet led by Hei Shuo, 130,000 guards, and 200,000 auxiliaries should have landed long ago.

Hei Ye should follow the established strategy, land in many places on the west coast, bloom at many points, quickly go inland, cut the coastal area into several independent and difficult to contact areas, and then divide and surround it.

At this time, the colonial governor's palace should also know about the sudden war, and perhaps they still don't know who the enemy is.

Even so, a large number of troops on the east coast should have begun to march forward.

The war has begun!

It's about to be the turn of the Westbound Fleet to put on a show!
