Chapter 986: Riding the Wind and Waves
Call. Call.
The five hovercraft immediately rode the wind and waves and sped forward.
Leng Feng and Moon were on the same boat as Asa and Morgan, and Leng Feng said to Asa, "Asa, I didn't have time to introduce you before. This is Moon, and he is the brother of my mercenary group. When your father was in danger in South Africa, it was I who killed the brothers who led the mercenary group with him. Later, after I quit the mercenary group, Lao Muta continued to lead the mercenary group to fight in the dark world. β
When Asa heard this, he immediately shook Moon's hands, and he said sincerely, "Thank you, I thank you for my father and the entire Rothcaild family." I have said the same thing to Brother Leng many times, but no matter how many times I say it, I am sincerely grateful from the bottom of my heart. β
"Haha, Asa, you're welcome. Your father, Baron David, is all right," Moon said with a smile.
"My fathers are all very nice. Speaking of which, my father has been mentioning your life-saving grace in front of me all these years. My father also said, when will Brother Leng and the brothers of your mercenary group be free, you can go to the castle of my Rothschild family in France. He will definitely bring out the best wine to entertain you. β
"Haha, Asa, I have written down this from your father. Don't worry, there will always be a chance to visit in the future. Leng Feng smiled, and then he said to Moon, "Old Mu, this is Morgan, the original Lord of Darkness. β
After hearing this, Moon was finally sure in his heart that the majestic man beside Asa was really the king of the dark world back then, the king of darkness.
"The name of the Lord of Darkness has long been heard like thunder. When I first debuted more than a decade ago, the Lord of Darkness was already the king of the dark world. Seeing it today is really a blessing for three lives. Moon said sincerely, holding out his hand and holding it with Morgan.
"I know you, Dragongod Moon. Leng Feng's first partner is also the first warrior. Morgan said with a smile.
"When I was younger, the Dark Lord's achievements were really desirable. If you have the chance, be sure to drink two more glasses. Moon smiled.
Asa smiled slightly, and he said, "Brother Mu doesn't need to be anxious, when he boards the cargo ship, he will naturally have enough wine to drink." I've brought with me a lot of fine wines. β
"So much for the best. Last time in Tiandu, your schedule was too tight, and I didn't drink much with you. This time, I can finally make up for it. Leng Feng said with a smile.
During the conversation, the five hovercraft had approached the sea where the Noah's Ark was anchored, and in the distance, they saw a huge oil tanker across the endless sea. The tanker was really too big, like a huge steel beast lying on the surface of the sea.
Asa said: "This Noah's Ark is the largest oil tanker in my family's other shipping groups, with a length of 370 meters, a width of 52 meters, and a height of about 73 meters. It can load 10,000 standard metal containers. It can be supplied to more than 10 countries with a full load of goods. The profit of a single shipment can reach tens of millions of dollars. β
"Such a huge oil tanker is only longer than an aircraft carrier. Leng Feng said with emotion.
Asa smiled, and he said with pride in his tone: "Indeed, the Noah's Ark is about 40 meters longer than the largest aircraft carrier in the world, the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. The length of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is about 330 meters. β
The five hovercraft sailed to a specific area, and then from the top deck of the huge Noah's Ark, there was a lift to lift the iron cables, and the four iron cables enclosed a square iron frame with a side length of about four meters, and the iron frame of the square had no frame on one side, and after reaching this iron frame parallel to the hovercraft, the personnel on board walked into the square iron frame.
This large iron frame can stand on all five hovercraft at once, but it is only slightly crowded.
Leng Feng, Moon, Asa, Morgan and his brothers, and the Dragon Flame warriors all stood on this iron frame, and the elevator above slowly raised the iron frame, ascended to the top of the hull, and then stopped on the deck.
As for the five hovercraft, there will be special personnel to be in the emergency cabin of this large freighter. Originally, these five hovercraft were the ships configured for emergency treatment by this large cargo ship.
Leng Feng and Moon walked out of the big iron frame one by one, stood on the deck, and saw that the top deck of this large cargo ship was filled with one metal container after another, which was really innumerable.
Standing on such a huge freighter, it really makes people feel small, looking at the endless Atlantic Ocean as far as the eye can see, I can't help but have a feeling of broadening my horizons, and I can't wait for this cargo ship to start immediately and experience the feeling of riding the wind and waves.
Asa also walked up to the deck, and at this time, among some of the crew members waiting on the deck, a man in his fifties, with a strong body and a red face, walked towards Asa, and said in a respectful tone: "Young master, have all your friends arrived, do you still need to go to the Canary Islands to pick them up?"
"Uncle Herbert, my friends are all done. You send someone to put away those five hovercraft, and we can go." Asa laughed.
"All right," said the man named Herbert, who called one of his lieutenants and told him to arrange the matter.
Asa said to Leng Feng, "Big brother, Uncle Herbert is the captain of the Noah's Ark. With thirty-five years of seafaring history, he has a wealth of experience and knowledge. He has been to several oceans and seas in the world today. Wherever there is an ocean, Uncle Herbert has visited. β
"Oh haha, hello hello. Leng Feng smiled and shook Herbert's hand.
"You are friends of the young master, and you are the distinguished guests on this ship. I hope that the next journey will make you happy. Herbert laughed loudly, he had the heartiness and enthusiasm of a Westerner, and he looked extremely rugged and mighty on the outside, but his brown eyes flashed with wisdom and sophistication.
Being able to gain the affirmation and trust of the Rothsjend family as the captain of the Noah's Ark shows that Herbert's seafaring experience is extremely rich, and he has to face not only the various situations that can occur at any time when sailing, but also the response to crises when they arise.
Don't look at Asa as the young master of the Rothsjend family, his status is noble, but as long as he gets on this ship, once he encounters a critical situation, then all the people on this ship must obey the command of Herbert alone.
Soon, the Noah's Ark sounded a long and majestic roar, which was a harbinger of the large cargo ship to start sailing.
After a while, I saw the large cargo ship move, break through the waves, and move forward.
The warriors of Leng Feng, Moon, Asa, Morgan, and Long Yan stood on the deck, looking out at the blue sea as the large freighter launched, and the feeling of emptiness and openness was intolerable.
If you look far behind, you will see that there is a rolling white wave on the blue sea, forming a long cone-shaped line, which is the line that the hull of the ship ploughs out of the sea after moving forward.
This scene is undoubtedly extremely spectacular.
Any sailor who can conquer the sea is a hero worthy of admiration.
Therefore, Leng Feng and they have great respect for the 32 crew members on this ship, including Herbert.
After standing on the deck for a while, Asa said to Leng Feng, "Big brother, let's go and rest in the cabin below." At the same time, arrange a cabin for you to rest, and put your luggage down casually. Then we went to the restaurant for a drink. β
"Okay," Leng Feng nodded.
β¦β¦
The resting cabin is located in the middle of the ship's hull, that is, the eighth level of the ship, and the lower cabins are the cargo compartments.
Leng Feng and his party came to the eighth-floor cabin, and the rest cabins were ready, and each cabin could sleep four people. There are two levels of bunks on the left and right sides of the cabin.
Luo Ying, Ye Manyu, Fang Aoqing, and Ye Ji lived in the same cabin, and Leng Feng and Moon had already assigned the rest of the Dragon Yan warriors to them at will.
The whole cabin is a collection of rest, entertainment, dining, and leisure, with a small theater that can accommodate up to 50 people, as well as some game consoles and so on. After all, every time such a large freighter goes to sea, it can be as little as two or three months, and as much as half a year. This is also extremely boring in the sea voyage, and these entertainment equipment has also become the choice of the crew's usual pastime.
In addition to this, there is a small medical room on this level of the ship, which houses some advanced medical equipment.
Luo Ying immediately conducted a medical examination for some injured Longyan warriors such as Wang Jun, Ye Manyu, and Wang Hu, and after some examination, it was confirmed that their injuries were fine. In particular, Wang Jun's wound healing was very optimistic, which reassured her.
After they had laid down their luggage, Asa had invited them to the dining room to eat and drink together.
Leng Feng, Moon, Lao Mo, Xiaodao, Xiao Wu, Shishi, King Kong, Duan Dongliu, Luo Xingchen and others came to the restaurant. Even Wang Jun came over, he was injured, but he said that he would have a drink to celebrate anyway.
The area of the restaurant is large, and Asa has prepared a sumptuous and delicious meal in advance, with everything from the mountains and the sea.
Asa took out the wine he had brought, it was a bottle of wine, there was no label on the bottle, but Leng Feng knew that this was the real wine of ChΓ’teau Lafite. Wines of this grade are not sold to the public and are not circulated on the market. It is only when entertaining distinguished guests that the Rothsjend family will take it out.
"People try this wine, I love it. It's a pity that I don't dare to drink too much. This wine is more concentrated than most wines on the market. The cellar dates back more than 100 years. Therefore, this wine is not only mellow, but also extremely ferocious. Asa said with a smile.
"Wine that has been cellared for more than 100 years is really the best of the best, Asa, for us, the wine is strong enough to taste good, we are not afraid of strong wine, we are afraid that the wine is not strong enough. Moon smiled.
"Then let's drink enough and get drunk today," Asa laughed.
Because of the large number of people, they were all divided into several tables, and when they had poured their wine, Asa called Captain Herbert over and asked him to have a drink.
Herbert took the glass of wine, he put it to his nose and sniffed it, and he said in a compliment: "For a long time, for a long time, this is a precious wine, but Master Asa, I can only drink this glass at most." None of you can get drunk, but I can't. β
Asa understood what Herbert meant, as the captain of the ship, he was not only responsible for the safety of everyone on board, but also responsible for the cargo that the ship was carrying more than hundreds of millions of dollars, so he had to keep a clear head.
Herbert's responsible attitude was appreciated by Asa, who said, "Uncle Herbert, be at ease. I'll leave you a few bottles of wine. By the time this voyage is over, you'll be home and ready to drink. β
"Ladies and gentlemen, I salute you and welcome you aboard the Noah's Ark," Herbert said enthusiastically.
"Come, let's do it together," Leng Feng also smiled.
Everyone in the audience immediately raised their glasses, and the wine that should have been tasted in small sips was drunk by them as if it were boiled water.
In the end, Leng Feng and Moon were full of praise, they had also drunk all kinds of fine wines in the world, but if you want to say that among the wines they have drunk, the wine they drank this time is the most mellow, and when they drink it in one sip, the aftertaste is endless, and the fragrant taste is really amazing.
"Good wine, this wine is refreshing enough, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return," Moon smiled heartily.
"It's truly a masterpiece that you won't want to leave. Leng Feng also said.
"Brother Leng, Brother Mu, all the soldiers of the mercenary group, I salute you, my Roscaild family owes you a favor. Maybe you think that we are all friends and brothers, but I would be too polite to say such a thing to you. But these are my sincere words, and I thank you not politely, but sincerely," Asa said loudly.
"Okay, but, Asa, this is the only time, and this word of thanks will not be mentioned again in the future," Leng Feng said.
"All right," Asa nodded.
"Let's do it together. Leng Feng smiled.
The atmosphere in the venue gradually became enthusiastic, toasting each other, tasting rare wines, eating meat, and laughing, during which the scene could not help but make people's blood stir.
"Brother Leng, how did you end up in Morocco this time," Asa couldn't help but ask.
Leng Feng lit a cigarette and said, "It's a long story, I led my soldiers to carry out a mission. As it turned out, this mission turned out to be a trap, and the people behind it were ready to use it to trap us. β
"Oh, who has the audacity to kill you, dare to kill you, dare to kill your head, this is no different from looking for death. Morgan on the side said.
"I have a good idea of who it is. In short, it is a * person in Hua**Fang. I arrived in the Alatus Mountains first, and from that moment on, I was confronted by two major mercenary groups in the Dark World. I led my men to annihilate these two mercenary groups, and then fought fiercely with the Western Allies for several days. Leng Feng said.
"Western allies," Asa frowned, apparently hearing of this alliance for the first time.
"The other party claims to be a member of the Western Alliance, and this is the first time I've heard of this force. Later, Lao Mu led his brothers to rush to support and annihilated the opponent in one fell swoop. After that we absconded to the Canary Islands, I turned to you for help. Leng Feng said.
"Big brother, it's easy to hear you, but I think the fighting of those few days must have been extremely dangerous," Asa asked.
Leng Feng nodded, and he said, "It's indeed dangerous. Almost all of my fighters were wounded to varying degrees. One of the fighters was shot in the chest by a bullet and almost died. β
"Leng Feng, hearing you say this makes my blood boil. When we'll be able to join forces and fight together, that's something I'm looking forward to. Morgan laughed.
Moon laughed, and he said, "Brother Morgan, there's definitely a chance." Waiting for you to rise again in the dark world. β
"Lao Mu is right, there will always be opportunities to fight side by side. Come, let's keep drinking. Leng Fenglang said with a smile.
"Drink, this time it's going to be a good drink. Asa raised his glass and said.
The crowd raised their glasses and drank one after another.
