Chapter 41 They are the sons of the sea, the celestials of the god of the sea

On the magnificent sea, hundreds of big ships sailed away in the wind and waves.

On the big ship, Fusu and Wang Li, Li You, and Feng Zheng sat in the cabin, their faces ugly.

Drifting at sea for a long time, they are darkened by their complexion and their lips are white.

"Eldest son, if we can't find the Yin'an Continent anymore, we will run out of food."

Wang Li was worried.

"How much more grain and grass are there? How many days can it last? ”

Fusu is nearly middle-aged and has begun to grow beards.

"We have been adrift at sea for nearly two years, and we have not yet found the Indoan mainland."

"Eight or nine out of ten of the 200 supply ships are empty, and there are less than 10,000 stone of grain and grass, and the livestock and dried meat have been exhausted."

"It can last another month or two at most, and if we still can't find the In'an continent on the chart, we will all die in the sea."

Feng Zheng opened his mouth and said, although Fusu is nominally in charge of logistics, but the eldest son is responsible for supervising the army, and no one will take this seriously and let Fusu do this kind of thing.

Therefore, almost all of the logistics and supplies are in charge of Feng Zai.

"We've been heading east since we left the harbour, so why have we strayed so far?"

Fusu frowned, looked at the nautical chart on the table, and said in confusion.

"Childe, although we know the direction, the vast sea, the difference is thousands of miles. Coupled with the influence of monsoon currents, it is reasonable to have some deviations. ”

"Encountered a storm on the way, and the fleet was blown away from the original route by the storm, so I simply had a sextant and a compass, and planned a new route, which should be fast."

Li Youye looked at the nautical chart, frowning.

"It's been two years, but fortunately, there have been no dangers along the way."

"It's just that more and more soldiers are suffering from sepsis, and they should have died on the battlefield instead of suffering from these diseases."

Speaking of this, Wang Li's eyes were red, and his face showed a look of pain.

"Are there not enough sprouts?"

Fusu asked, when he came, his father and emperor selected thousands of shishu [soybeans], which were specially used to ferment bean sprouts during sea voyages, and used as a vegetable supplement to prevent and treat sepsis.

"In the past two years, more and more soldiers have suffered from sepsis, and we don't have much of it."

Feng Zheng sighed and said.

In another two months, not only will they run out of food, but even the herbs for the prevention and treatment of sepsis will be running out, and all kinds of herbs will be gone, which is simply suffocating.

"Where are we now?"

Fusu pointed to the nautical chart and asked.

"Eldest son, after we changed our name from Xiazhou [Aolu] of the Imperial Navy, through Yanxian [Mania], and through Shanxian [New Zealand], we have not found any islands that can determine the location, so according to the itinerary, we should not be far from the Indoan mainland."

Li You pointed to the navigation chart and looked at the continent, his eyes were blazing.

"Every time, how far is it? A hundred miles? A thousand miles? Or 10,000 miles? ”

Feng Zheng pursed his lips, obviously sneering at Li You's words, he was tired of hearing them.

"Can you bear it, so tell me where we've been?"

Li You suddenly didn't hesitate, and said back.

"I think we got lost and are still wandering around in the sea, otherwise why hasn't the route that was supposed to take a year yet arrived for more than two years?"

Feng Zheng glared at Li You, and said with a face full of disberence.

"That's enough."

Although Fusu has a good temper, he also knows that internal strife should be stopped at this time.

He slapped the wooden case hard and said angrily.

"The eldest son is angry."

Wang Li, Li You, and Feng Zheng were taken aback by Fusu, they had known the eldest son for so many years, and this was the first time they had seen the eldest son get angry.

"We shoulder the emperor's order, and with the hope of Your Majesty and the subjects of the whole country, we will cross the ocean."

"At this time of crisis, we should advance and retreat together, and we should be in the same breath, how can we brothers fight against each other?"

Fusu glanced at Li You and Feng Zheng, who had been at odds for many years due to the grievances between their fathers.

In the past two years, there have been quarrels, but fortunately, he and Wang Li are pressing.

So the quarrel between the two is also very bottom-line, but today's words are really a bit excessive.

Once it causes chaos in the hearts of the army, in the vast sea, won't there be changes?

"The last general is confused, thank you for the teachings of the eldest son."

Although Li You and Feng Zheng didn't look at each other, they still respected Fusu very much.

Fusu was just about to comfort the two of them with a few words, when suddenly outside the cabin, bursts of cheers erupted.

Several people are all fluted, what is the situation?

At this moment, a herald hurriedly ran in, and said with a bright smile on his face: "Eldest son, we have arrived, and the Yin'an Continent has arrived." ”

Fusu didn't say a word, stood up directly, and hurriedly walked outside.

Wang Li, Feng Zheng, and Li You also followed.

Standing on the lookout, Fusu looked at the hazy skyline in the distance, the black shadow.

The pupils flickered with hope, did this time really arrive?

In the past two years, this moment has been waiting for him for too long.

With the huge fleet, riding the wind and waves, the dark shadows in the distance gradually became clear.

"It's here, it's here, it's really here."

"Great, we're finally here."

"Your Majesty for 10,000 years, Great Qin for 10,000 years."

I don't know who shouted, and soon hundreds of large ships, more than 20,000 soldiers and sailors, shouted in unison.

Many people rejoiced, like happy children.

Soon, many people began to moisten the corners of their eyes and wept with joy.

In the past two years, they have carried too much, and they have also suffered too much.

When the dawn of victory came, it felt a little unreal to them.

Fusu looked at the extremely happy soldiers, his eyes were moist, and he muttered in his heart: "Father, the son has done it, have you seen it?" It won't be long before the Imperial Fleet will be able to return with the hopes of the Great Qin Empire. ”

Wang Li and the three of them were also dazzled, staring at this strange land in the distance with great excitement.

And in the distant In'an continent, there are also many natives who are unclothed and have colorful mud on their faces, gathered on the seashore and looked at the huge fleet floating in the sea.

There were cries coming out of their mouths, and they were a little restless.

There are some expectations, what is the uninvited guest in the sea?

Is it a miracle?

They also go to the sea to fish, but they can't find any other adjectives for such a big ship than miracles.

Is this the arrival of the god of the sea?

It didn't take long for the leader of their tribe and the Grand Wizard to arrive.

The Grand Wizard set down the altar, chanting ancient bitter incantations in his mouth, and his body kept beating.

The melodious ancient rhythm sounded from the bone instrument, and after a long time, the great wizard's body twitched violently for a while.

"O people of the tribe of Abuta, the great god of the sea has sent messengers of the gods, and they are the sons of the sea, the celestials of the god of the sea."

"They came from the distant shrine of the sea and brought the revelation of God, the will of God, to Abuta."

"In order to welcome the great oracle, offer your most reverent cheers and piety, and wait for the dawn!"

The Grand Wizard roared loudly, his voice sharp and piercing.
