Journeys at sea are always long, boring and tiresome, with a disgusting smell of all sorts of smells on board, eating the same seafood, and vegetables and fruits that have been marinated for a long time and have changed their tastes.

Standing on the deck, looking up, you will always see the same scenery, no change, the sparkling sea.

Although real sea travel is not as romantic and wonderful as those bards suggest, people from all over the world come to the sea for adventures one after another.

Because, in addition to the novelty that people will soon get bored with, adventure on the sea can also bring wealth to these people who have dreams, and in the final analysis, the so-called adventure is actually nothing more than the pursuit of wealth after beautification.

It was a merchant ship from the Celtic Isles, loaded with supplies from the Celtic Isles, most of which were produced only by the Celtic Isles.

Now they are located in the waters of the English Channel, which was originally a sea with many pirates and has now become very safe, or with the hegemony of the Baltic Empire, with the defeat of Francis Drake, the fall of the North Sea Kingdom, the pirates of the entire Northland have basically given up the profession of piracy, or went to other seas for development.

At least in those southern seas, they were still able to plunder merchant ships without worrying that they would find that the sheep had turned into dragons while they were attacking.

Disguised as harmless merchant ships and baring their fangs during broadside battles, this was already a common trick used by the Baltic Empire's navies, and at least five sea pirates died in such a trick, and their heads still hang from the bow of warships.

Just when everyone thought that the trip was safe enough to transport supplies to Jutland and sell them for wealth, the silence was shattered by exclamations from the lookout on the mast.

"What's going on?!"

The middle-aged man with a turban on his head and a scimitar in his hand rushed out of the captain's room, his face showing a solemn expression, in the isolated sea, no matter what happens, it needs to be treated with caution.

Because on the sea, there are really many factors that can make them, and they can't be counted.

"Ahead, there was a battle ahead!"

The sound of the scouts reached the ears of the many sailors on deck through the brass pipes, and they nodded to each other and returned to their respective posts without panic, waiting for the captain's orders.

They are all well-trained sailors, they know how to improve their chances of survival on such a ship, such an accident has happened many times, and they have a wealth of experience in naval warfare.

"Who are the two sides of the fight?"

The captain asked calmly, he needed to judge whether to turn away from this battlefield of strife, because turning away would be possible to deviate from course, they would consume more food and water than expected, and waste more time, which would undoubtedly increase the risk of their survival at sea.

"Oh my God, the ships of the Baltic Empire are attacked, they are attacked!"

The panicked voice came from the brass pipe, and the news brought made the faces of the people on the deck look ugly, the ships of the Baltic Empire were attacked, and such a thing had not happened in this sea for several years.

"Turn, turn, turn!

The captain did not hesitate at all, but with experience and feeling, he gave the order to leave this sea, and although the sailors had tried very hard, they still had no way to avoid entering the battlefield due to the direction of the wind and the currents.

"No! It's too late!"

The scouts screamed, and they could clearly see the merchant ships on the sea, surrounded by countless small boats, and the flag of the Baltic Empire was hoisted on the masts of the merchant ships.

The boats, which they said were ordinary canoes, were dressed in clothes that were not even armored, and they were holding ropes with iron hooks in their hands, and they were climbing on the merchant ship.

The boats were very woody, but it was still the merchant ship of the Baltic Empire that prevailed, and the casters flying in mid-air, with crossbows and crossbows, were shooting sailors out.

Both sides soon discovered the uninvited guests who had intruded into the battlefield, and the merchant ships of the Baltic Empire directly raised their banners, asking them to join the battle and repel the enemy.

This was not an unreasonable demand, it was included in the treaties signed between the Baltic Empire and the kingdoms and tribes of the Celtic Isles.

The merchant ships have no right to refuse, because the current situation is very clear, and if they do not join in the battle and help the ships of the Baltic Empire, what awaits them will be the possibility of an attack by the victorious ships of the Baltic Empire.

The reason is simple: if the two sides of their allies do not help each other, then the Baltic Empire can wonder if the attack they received this time was the result of their conspiracy.

In fact, they were not afraid of being attacked by the ships of the Baltic Empire, and now they were able to leave the sea at great speed, following the direction of the wind and currents.

They fear that their actions will ripple down on the countries behind them, and that the Baltic Empire will tear up the agreement and set its next target on the Celtic islands.

What happened in the Ural Mountains has spread throughout the Northlands, and they don't want their country to be abandoned by the Baltic Empire, and now on the Celtic Isles, if any country breaks off from the Baltic Empire, then the surrounding other countries and tribes will definitely not mind expanding their territory.

"Turn the rudder, we're going to help those ...... Our allies. ”

Damn it, the captain swallowed it in the end, and he couldn't know if his words would reach the ears of those spellcasters.

The heavy merchant ships began to turn their bows and face the canoes with their sides, and on the sides of the ships there were about a dozen windows in which the bed crossbows had been loaded.

These bed crossbows were prepared for large ships, and because the Channel of England had been calm for too long, the accuracy of the bed crossbows was very poor, and a single salvo did not achieve any results.

It doesn't matter if they don't get results, their attacks are just a sign of their attitude, and those attackers are not distracted to attack them.

Attacking the ships of the Baltic Empire with a small boat such as a canoe is obviously an attempt to climb onto the deck of the ship and decide the final victory in a white-knuckle battle.

Despite the superiority of the Baltic Empire, it was inevitable that the enemy would rush to the deck, and a white-knuckle battle would be forced to begin.

"It's the Scandinavians, it's the Scandinavians who attack!"

The captain muttered in an indiscreatable voice, he had seen the attackers rushing to the deck, and without hesitation, he turned on the madness, using his life to create opportunities for his companions behind.

Almost all the ships floating on the surface of the sea have sunk into the ocean, even if the Celtic merchant ships are very accurate, but the fierce beasts under the surface of the sea will not stand aside in a daze.

These attackers must fight their best, they have no way out, and there is no other choice but to win the battle and take the target merchant ship.

However, this thought was only a self-consolation, and even if they were able to defeat the enemy and snatch the merchant ship, they would not be able to get out of here.

The flying spellcasters in the sky and the sea beasts cruising in the ocean can easily sink this ship, don't doubt their determination, the people of the Baltic Empire will not show the slightest mercy in this regard.

"Even the most ordinary merchant ships are so powerful. ”

The captain shook his head and sighed, he knew that the Baltic Empire was powerful before, but there was no standard for how powerful it was.

When he saw the scene in front of him now, he knew why the nobles in the kingdom were so afraid of the Baltic Empire, and why those cruel pirates were willing to leave the sea in silence.

This is not even the courage to rise to resist.

Sailing on the rough seas, the ships up and down, and the frenzy of the blood in their bodies could not give these Scandinavians any more advantage.

After landing on the deck, their area of activity was rapidly compressed, and even if they squeezed the power in the bloodline as much as possible, they were still no match for well-trained enemies, not to mention that the enemies were wearing extremely good equipment and had the support of the caster behind them.

Whether it is a long-distance battle or such a zero-distance white-knuckle battle, these Scandinavians have no chance of victory, they come here only to give their lives and feast the fierce beasts of the sea.

In less than thirty minutes, the attacks were completely resolved, and only the blood on the deck that had not yet completely dried up was telling the story of the attack that came and went quickly.

The captain saw that the ships of the Baltic Empire greeted them from afar, and then continued to move forward according to the course, judging from the direction of travel, and the waterline of the ships, it was a merchant ship returning to Jutland with supplies.

The captain could clearly see that the casters who had landed on the deck were using magic to repair the broken parts of the ship, and the scars on the surface of the ship quickly disappeared like healing wounds.

He knew that this was a power from the druids, and there were many druids in the Celtic Isles, but most of them liked to live in the deep mountains and dense forests without people, and lived a life far away from the world.

As soon as the ship arrived in Jutland, news of the naval battle began to circulate in the taverns of Jutland, and the sailors who had drunk had no way to keep their mouths shut, and always leaked something they should not have said.

No one wanted to believe such news at first, the Baltic Empire had completed the hegemony of the three seas in the Northland, and no force dared to challenge the status of the Imperial Navy at sea.

The attackers who appear in the story are actually in canoes, so it has been determined that the ships can only be used for short-distance transportation, and there is no way to stay on the ocean for a long time.

However, when the truth of this news was confirmed from some soldiers of the army, they were very surprised and had no way to understand what the Scandinavians were doing this for.

The Baltic Navy, which controls the sky and the sea, is completely different from them, and their disadvantage at sea is even greater than that on land.

However, the defeat of the Scandinavians had been circulating in Jutland for less than three days, and the Baltics were so accustomed to victory that it would be surprising if their army did not win one day, as was the defeat in Upplan, which would have been talked about for a long time.

Completely different from the indifference of the people, the rulers of the empire found something unusual in this incident, and learned from the soldiers and sailors who had experienced the battle that it was they who spotted the other party's ships and attacked them first.

Determined that there was no way out, the Scandinavians had to launch a counterattack, seeking hope of survival in a desperate situation.

The question of why Scandinavian ships appeared in England caused Semiramis to ponder that the Channel of England was the only passage other than to connect the intended area from the sea.

However, with those canoes, the Channel of England was already the limit, so it was impossible for these Scandinavians to go to the southern country by boat.

After ruling out this option, all that remained was the possibility of the Scandinavians wanting to unite with the Celtic Isles, and the Celtic Isles became the only foreign aid to the Scandinavians when Golia died in the Rus' region and the coalition forces in the Ural Mountains fell into division, civil strife, and attacked each other.

If they can get the kingdoms of the Celtic Isles to stand up against the war launched by the Baltic Empire, they will at least be able to contain the Baltic Empire's maritime power and influence the Baltic Empire's trade routes, which are the Empire's largest foreign trade channel.

This is not good news, and from this point of speculation, it can be seen that the Scandinavians have begun to get to know the situation in the Baltic Empire, and know what the empire needs and values.

If the trade routes are affected, the merchants who live on the trade of the sea will definitely go crazy, and the Baltic Empire, which has lost this course, will have its entire logistics system affected.
