The purge on Aven's side has just been completed.

The circular of the command of the Third Fleet on the "Naval Nova Program" has already been issued.

All the naval officers and men who were still stationed in the military port were hotly discussing this, and they also began to inquire about the registration conditions. Although there are no requirements for origin or military rank, if you want to go to sea to fight pirates, you must at least have a warship, right?

Unlike the 6th Army, three people can be used as an independent squad. And fighting on the sea, apparently, can only be fought with warships as the base unit. In fact, this kind of practical restriction has virtually turned away a large number of naval officers and men who are of lower rank and do not even have autonomy.

Although the Third Fleet is huge, it is not so easy to transfer personnel to join this plan on the premise of defending the security of the homeland, defending the main shipping routes, and taking into account the new 6 colonies.

The so-called registration process was born for this.

Faced with the temptation of various supporting awards for the "Navy Nova", everyone has a desire to participate extensively, but the fleet command carefully reviews every application.

It is not good to be very capable but too old, because what we want is a "new star"! It is not good to be of the right age but average ability, and if we go out and be slaughtered by pirates, our Third Fleet really can't afford to lose that person.

After almost three days of screening and secret competition, and after comprehensive consideration by the fleet command, a total of 10 warships of all levels finally passed the examination.

Except for one fourth-class battleship, most of the rest were fifth-class ships, and there were only two sixth-class ships, and there was no surprise that Aiwen's "Conch" was impressively listed.

At the same time, the First and Second Fleets were similarly represented by the participants. In the end, the navy of the Kingdom of Phaletis sent a total of thirty warships to participate in the hunt for pirates in this operation.

With the Kingdom of Ilia as the main beneficiary, the six member countries of the "Tulip Alliance" implemented the plan as quickly as possible. Within 10 days of the end of the "massacre", a total of more than 200 warships of all classes were dispatched. On the eastern shore of the Black Sea, this is already an extremely powerful force, and it is more than enough to destroy the pirate ships that participated in the massacre!

The duration of their operation is tentatively set at three months, and although the spread of information on the vast seas is slow, all pirates and pirates who can thrive have their own specific intelligence networks.

In peacetime, he is responsible for collecting information on merchant ships, procuring them, and selling stolen goods, and at this time, he will inevitably pass on information on the Navy's large-scale operations.

It won't take three months, maybe just a month, and pirates who should know about the Navy's countermeasures will get the news. When the time comes, they will take the treasure and hide in a corner, not to mention the two hundred or so warships, even if the entire fleet of the Tulip Alliance is dispatched, it will be difficult to gain any more.

Just as the Navy never believed that pirates could be exterminated by force, the main purpose of this operation was to make a tough stance and deter Xiaoxiao with the blood of some pirates!

Therefore, in order to obtain the title of "new star of the navy," officers and men must not only compete with their peers, but also race against time.

.....

The sky was still sunny just now, but in the blink of an eye, it became a little overcast.

In the vast sea, a three-masted warship is sailing alone through the wind and waves, and even if it does not deploy all its sails due to wind conditions, it is faster and more stable than a warship of the same class.

Standing on the stern of the boat, Ai Wen's posture was straight, and he already had a faint momentum cultivated by the long-term order. Although it is still very rudimentary compared to the Gehr of the past, it has already made a good start.

Especially...

At this time, the deck was full of all the naval officers and sailors on board, and they were full of vigor and enthusiasm, which was simply different from what they used to be.

They're in the midst of a special selection ceremony that is widely used by the world's marines and even pirates—the Deck Battle!

Smack-

The wooden sword was exchanged, and a sailor used a strong sword body to block the other person's vertical slash with a very standard high-level defensive style, and then decisively kicked out, and the momentum sank, but the opponent collected the sword in time and deftly dodged the past.

There is not much difference in the level of swordsmanship between the two sides, and at this time, they are crackling and fighting, constantly chasing each other on the deck of the sail cable, and the sword coming and going is very ornamental.

Although they are not yet out of the category of ordinary people, they are also vigorous, and their combat effectiveness is already very good.

And these are just two of the most ordinary recruits in this batch.

Even Ai Wen didn't expect that his previous unintentional actions in the boot camp would be able to get such a big gain today. After returning from this mission, I must find Major Eugene again, and thank him again for his special cultivation.

At that time, when he was teaching swordsmanship, there was Ai Wen's training plan tailored for them using "digital vision". As long as they are willing to work hard, after a year, the swordsmanship level of this group of people will be on average one grade higher than that of normal recruits who have been in the army for one year.

Even stronger than many veterans.

Ai Wen believes that under his subsequent "training", these guys will definitely be able to usher in a fast growth period, until the accumulation of this year is fully released.

However, it is completely uncertain how many official knights Evan will eventually come out of this.

Because personal qualifications, ability, and temperament are the main reasons for progress on the road, and there is very little help that others can help. Just as Mizuki's teachers who graduated may not be able to teach students who can pass Mizuki's exam, this is also the case.

To say that Evan is more optimistic about the person. One is Gary, who has long been set to be the number one fighter, the other is the old man on the "Conch", Vader, and the other is the recruit Fleck, who has volunteered to serve.

From his point of view, the probability of the three of them successfully advancing is about eighty percent, sixty and a half, and fifty-five respectively, and the rest of the people except them may have to see if they can get the favor of the goddess.

"Good ——!!"

At this time, the two evenly matched in the field finally decided the winner, and the onlookers also applauded.

After the two sides of the competition saluted each other and left the arena, the atmosphere became even hotter, because at this time, it finally came to the peak part of this deck competition!

"The 'boatswain' scramble is now !!"

At this time, they were ordered to hunt down pirates and enter the mission state, and the wartime regulations had begun to be automatically enforced on the "Conch". In the event of a wartime emergency, it is not possible to return to the headquarters, and in order to ensure smooth command, the captain may exercise his authority to temporarily appoint subordinate officers.

It is only necessary to submit an explanation to the command after the end of the mission, and to obtain the approval of at least half of the officers on board. In this way, if there is another make-up examination, the temporarily appointed officers can be truly regularized.

There is no doubt that this deck fight is actually an arrangement made by Evan for Gary to be able to ascend to the throne in the open, and at the same time, it also allows him to establish his prestige with strong force in front of the entire crew!

The physical fitness that has reached the peak of apprenticeship, and the military swordsmanship that has been baptized by several major wars in a year after entering the school, is simply crushing and powerful for the recruits on the ship. Even with all the officers, Gary is the strongest man on the "Conch" except for Aven, a formal knight.

There was no suspense in the results.

In less than a minute, Gary used an irresistible force to crush the siege of the top three deck players, including Fleck, who was also favored by Aven.

"Boatswain!

"Boatswain!"

"Gary!"

There was no need for Evan to announce it, the sailors who had already been subdued by Gary's force were already cheering for him. They all knew Gary, they all enlisted in the army at the same time, and there was no seniority influence, so naturally they were convinced!

What's more, everyone knows that this trip is to hunt pirates, so naturally hope that the boatswain who is the main force in melee combat will be as strong as possible!

Today is the day when the "Conch" was ordered to go to sea.

At the time of departure, the only fourth-class ship of the 10 warships of all classes in the coastal route was still the only fourth-class ship, but just after leaving the port, everyone had already tacitly parted ways.

They are all arrogant guys, even though Aven is relatively more famous as the youngest warship captain in the kingdom and a famous scholar who understands the practical prevention and treatment plan of "scurvy".

But the people who can be selected into the list of "Navy Nova Project" are naturally a few proud generals in the fleet, and no one can admit that they are worse than others, especially in this competition with you and me.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the quota of the six naval novas, even if it takes care of the face of each country, can only be evenly distributed, one for each country. Even if everyone was a colleague before, at least they were only opponents in this hunt!

However, this is also in line with Aiwen's intentions, if there are outsiders present, some of his own methods are really difficult to use. I deliberately used means to complete the purge of the crew, didn't I also do useless work?

"Navigator?Navigator?!"

Everything is ready, naturally it is time to do the right thing, and then Evan suddenly remembered that he had not seen the shadow of the navigator Adrien for most of the day after he went to sea.

After a few shouts, a voice answered behind him:

"Yes, Captain!"

"Huh, that voice?"

Ai Wen turned around and was suddenly startled:

"Damn, Milan, why are you here?!"

Because I was so surprised, I accidentally even burst out of the foul mouth.

"Why, am I not qualified to be a navigator for you, or is it not welcome?" Milan, dressed in a sleek major uniform, snorted softly with his arms folded.

"Haha, welcome, welcome, warm welcome! I just can't think of how Lieutenant General Snaith could let you out with confidence?"

Hearing this, Ai Wen laughed and stepped forward to hug him hard.

"What merit can you do in staying in the military port? Go around in circles in this big bathtub all day long, and you won't be able to mix with a general until you are old!"

While saying something that would drive ordinary soldiers crazy, Milan put his shoulder on Aven:

"Don't worry, after going to sea, brother, I will cover you! Official-level 'prophet', just ask if you are afraid?

Moreover, extensive participation in major events is also one of the compulsory lessons for 'prophets'. Don't think I don't know, with your style, since you have made so many preparations, you definitely have a lot of plans!"

"Well, it's here anyway. However, I declare in advance that if the Lieutenant General comes to the door, I will not use you as a shield. ”

"Aha, where can I find such a big Black Sea... What did he do with me? I told him. ”

Seeing that this guy was playing haha, looking at his appearance left and right, Evan was big for a while, and he just didn't bother to argue with him: "Then where did Adrien go?"

"Don't worry, I found him a good idle job, and he went to retire in peace. I have achieved my goal for the second half of my life ahead of schedule, and Captain Adrien is very grateful to me. ”

"Alright, Your Excellency Navigator, we'll leave our itinerary to you!"

Evan didn't ask him how he transferred the captain of the official officer rank, but he also thought it was a good thing, a navigator who had been thinking about retirement for a long time was really not suitable to stay on his own ship.

Now there is Milan, a professional who is in the top ten of the fleet in all abilities in the seafaring skills competition, and Evan himself is happy to relax.

Originally, even with the assistance of the seabirds, his biggest headache was how to find those pirates, after all, the sea was too big, and the reconnaissance range within a radius of fifty kilometers was only a drizzle.

The arrival of Milan is like a pillow brought to you when you are sleepy, a combination of the Navigator and the wizards of the Prophecy School... Well, that's kind of amazing!
