Chapter Forty-Eight: The Unknown Island
Sean stood on the pier on the island's beach, looking at the black spots on the surface of the sea and fell into deep thought. For Sean, it was only a matter of time before Sean Island came into contact with other islands, but he was still apprehensive when the island really appeared.
After thinking for a while, Sean made a decision in his heart: "Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse, and it can't be avoided." ”
"Taylor, you select two Black Iron Swordsmen and thirty other members of the Swordsman Team to visit the island ahead with me, and Nick you take the other patrol teams and swordsmen to garrison Sean Island. Sean pointed to the island ahead and said to Taylor and Nick.
"My lord, the danger ahead is unknown, or you should be stationed on Sean Island, and I will explore it. Taylor shook his head and suggested. Now Sean's life is at stake for more than a thousand people on the island, and any adventure is not recommended.
Sean also shook his head and said: "No need, you go with me, if my life is in danger under your protection, then the final result of my garrison on Sean Island will be the same." What's more, this situation will have to be faced sooner or later, there is no need to be too nervous, everything on the island is still going as it was. The patrol squad and the swordsman squad have strengthened their patrol efforts. ”
Seeing this, Taylor didn't say much, but just informed the swordsman team of the inspection equipment and precautions one by one. Although there is no shortage of iron ore on Sean Island for the time being, the progress of the blacksmith to build the iron sword still does not fully equip all the swordsman squads, so many swordsman squads still use simple hardwood swords.
"The recruitment of blacksmiths should also be put on the agenda, and weapons and equipment should also be taken seriously. Sean looked at the equipment of the swordsman squad in front of him, and made a decision silently in his heart.
"It's a pity that the structure of blast furnace steelmaking is not clear, I vaguely remember this big killer when I read novels in my previous life, but I don't understand the structure at all, or if you have steel, you don't have to worry about sophisticated equipment. Sean sighed regretfully again.
Busy hours always pass quickly, and under the command of Joyce and Duru, the crew quickly assembles, and Sean sets foot on the ship for the first time.
"Your lord, be careful not to charge ahead. Taylor, you have to look at him a little bit too. Looking at Du Lu with tears rolling in his eyes, Sean smiled and said: "Don't worry, Du Lu, the man is determined to be on the battlefield, the sword will point forward, I will protect myself well." ”
"Let's go. Sean stepped onto the ship, stood on the deck and looked out at the distant island, waving his sword and pointing ahead.
This is Sean's first time at sea, watching the ship tread the waves, the sea is sparkling under the illumination of the sun, and the salty and wet sea breeze is blowing in his face, which makes Sean's nervous mood relieve a lot. He's also the one who fights the Kraken, and he's not a rookie, at least not because he's nervous or afraid of not being able to lift his sword.
"I always feel that this scene does not look like a hero should go on a journey, it should not be lightning and thunder, the waves crashing against the boat, the ship drifting in the waves and the wind, and there is a beautiful woman on the shore waving her hand with tears. Sean thought to himself.
Taylor looked at Sean looking into the distance and was silent, and couldn't help but step forward and comfort: "Lord Lord, please rest assured, even if the front is really an enemy, in the early stage of the island's transformation, the enemy's combat power will not be too strong, with my golden strength, three black iron swordsmen and thirty swordsmen, it is enough to deal with a small-scale battle." ”
Sean looked at the strong man in front of him and found that there was no worry in his eyes, only a raging battle intent. couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about some things a little distracted, and I'm also a little looking forward to what surprises the front can bring me." It's a friend, this is to increase the trade income of Sean Island, if it's an enemy, we can at least get an island token, right?"
Taylor knelt on the deck on half a knee and said firmly, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, if it is an enemy, the Island Token will definitely be handed over to you." ”
"Mmmm, I believe you. "Sean currently has a lord token in his hand, if he adds another one, then the token for Sean Island's promotion to Black Iron High-level Island will be complete, and he is one step closer to the silver-level island.
According to the information obtained from the previous island upgrade, upgrading to the island token can not only integrate the Territory Stone into itself, but also move with the chart. At that time, both the security and freedom will be higher. Although after upgrading to a silver-level island, the island will move faster, encounter more danger ahead, and have a shorter preparation time, but Sean feels that the gains outweigh the losses.
At the very least, controlling the direction of the island's movement can greatly facilitate trade, and there is also the danger of evasion. Explore the endless seas with a higher degree of freedom instead of being passively towed.
"How prepared the swordsman squad is. Sean asked casually, looking into the distance.
Taylor couldn't help but laugh: "The members of the swordsman team who have been invaded by the sea monster before are very calm, but the newly recruited members still seem nervous. But rest assured, lord, when the time comes for the real battle, those lads will be good warriors at the front, don't you say? ”
"I am willing to charge forward for my lord and overcome all obstacles. The swordsman squad behind him replied in unison.
Seeing this, Sean also smiled and said to Taylor: "Don't be too strict, just stepped on the battlefield, nervousness is certain, after all, life and death ahead are uncertain." At present, the scale of Sean Island, whether it is a patrol team or a swordsman team, has been initially formed, and the battle formation should also be included in the training plan in advance. Previously, the number of people was small, but in the event of a large-scale battle, the chaotic formation did not know how many additional casualties would be added. ”
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, since the newly recruited swordsman squad is still in the adaptation stage, this training has not started for the time being, but the formation training has also been planned. Hearing Sean's words, Taylor couldn't help but look at Sean in amazement. In Taylor's understanding, he was very puzzled why Sean knew about the formation, could anyone really know it?
Sean looked at Taylor's surprised expression and didn't explain. He was now thinking about other things: the ships of this world were still only in the age of oars, so the ships would consume a lot of manpower, and he wondered if he could improve the technology of shipbuilding through his barren knowledge after the cotton on the island was fully planted, and be promoted to the age of sailing ships.
However, he has decided to promote the cultivation of cotton on a large scale, not only for the experiment of sailing ships, but more importantly, to promote the development of the textile industry on Sean Island, even if it advances to the deeper depths of the endless sea, in the face of extreme weather will not appear large-scale freezing to death.
Although the speed of the ship is not fast, as time passes, the distance between the ship and the unknown island is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere on the ship is becoming more and more solemn.
"What should come is still coming, I hope the people in front of me don't know what to do, or don't blame me for the sharpness of my iron sword. ”
