boom

The door to the captain's room was slammed shut.

Sitting behind his desk, Evan breathed a sigh of relief. Reaching out and pouring Ambrus a cup of black tea, a special offer for His Excellency the Captain prepared by the ship's caring sailors.

"Knight Ambrus, please be seated! We're all old friends, you're welcome. ”

No one can lead bitterly, this is a universal truth.

For most people, life on board is a bit hard, and even for most sailors, it is difficult to persevere on treacherous seas if they do not get an easier job before the age of 35.

But with the service of a bunch of people, Aven's quality of life is not bad. He had heard that the captains of the navy who were from aristocratic backgrounds would even bring a group of servants and a special cook on board, and that day would be more comfortable.

In contrast, Captain Aven's style of life can be described as simple as it gets.

"Thank you, Captain, just call me Ambrus. ”

Glancing at the strange plants in the captain's quarters, and carefully leaning his steel shield and greatsword against the wall, Ambrus sat gently in a fine high-backed chair embedded with silver wires.

Living like an ascetic all year round, Ambrus is not too interested in luxurious furnishings and exquisite food, but he is willing to respect other people's choices and habits.

In fact, these things in Captain Aven's room are all high-end goods obtained from the logistics department of the Third Fleet after the "Cape Storm" returned to port after returning from a pirate hunting mission, and Milan went through the "normal" supply procedures.

Aiwen's set is nothing, the furniture in Milan's own room is called luxury!

"Knight Ambrus, you should want to talk about this mission, right?"

Ai Wen tasted the black tea that he had specially ordered without any "condiments" and went straight to the point.

"Yes, Captain Aven.

My team and I have received an order from the Church to go to the Kingdom of Taylor to assist in the defense of another possible attack by the Pirate King.

I heard that this information was actually submitted by you first, and it was later verified and confirmed by the intelligence agency of the Kingdom of Taylor, right?"

Ambrus is not the kind of person who pays attention to red tape, except for the belief in God, as long as it does not violate the principle, of course, how efficient it is.

"It is indeed information that I have inadvertently obtained in the pursuit of pirates, and the work of the Kingdom of Taylor proves that the accuracy of this information is still guaranteed.

But in fact, even my information is very limited, and I don't know anything except the name of the 'Leiden Valley'.

Even though Taylor's intelligence agencies confirmed that there was indeed a massive influx of suspicious people in many of the cities along the route, it didn't do much to help us find Huggins' true purpose. ”

As the sky darkened, Evan did not shy away from the existence of Ambrus, the Ironclad Knight of the Church, and lit the "hanging wind chimes" on the table as he spoke.

To be honest, the "Leiden Valley" is not big, but it is not small.

But no matter what the Pirate King wants to do, if the location is known to others in advance, it will inevitably have a negative impact on his plans.

Just like their defense mission, the official Taylor strengthens the local security level for a certain amount!

With the pirate king's meticulous thoughts, it should be possible to keep the plan completely secret all the time.

It's like a raid on Moby Dick Harbor, and no one knows where the pirate fleet will end up except himself.

Why, then, did they send people to this area this time at the risk of being exposed in advance? Was it to divert the tiger from the mountain or was there some other conspiracy? Or even to rely on it, not afraid of others knowing about it?

So even though Evan had passed it on to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as he got the information about "Iron William", Evan was not too optimistic about the possible response of the follow-up alliance.

Although the official power of several kingdoms is far stronger than that of Huggins, there are also many places to be defended.

If you are bent on raiding, the extraordinary strength of the third-order peak of the "Octopus Ghost" Huggins is enough to be qualified to be a sharp nail that can be driven into a seemingly hard coconut shell in one fell swoop.

"Isn't Your Excellency Evan optimistic about this operation, even though the Coalition and the Church have jointly issued orders to other countries to assist in the defense?"

Hearing his words, Ambrus was a little puzzled.

On the side of the Kingdom of Phaletis, not only did they send Aven, a new naval star, but also a team of fourteen Iron Wall Knights under their command.

There are even six "Siren Songs" that have not been mass-produced for the time being, but are temporarily produced by the wizards of the school.

In his opinion, the alliance officials have considered all aspects very thoroughly.

After all, no matter how powerful a pirate king is, with the experience of the "Moby Dick Harbor Massacre", it is unlikely that there will be wild pirates willing to come over to his troubled waters.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that after the "massacre", it was these wild pirates who were set on fire by "Tulips" and suffered heavy casualties.

And the Pirate King's own direct strength has long been unknown where to hide, and not even a single hair has been injured.

With his own direct subordinates alone, it is unlikely that he will make such a big move like a war scene again.

Therefore, the high-level leaders in charge of dealing with this incident agreed that if Huggins wanted to do things again, the greatest possibility was to give full play to the power of the transcendent and attribute it to his own advantages, and use the elite of the pirate group to break into the battle!

Counting the captains, navigators, and boatswains on the "Cape Storm", plus his own team of Iron Wall Knights, there are already seven official knights and ten apprentices.

At that time, "Moby Dick Harbor" was only a few dozen second-class extraordinary pirates.

The combined support personnel of the other five countries, combined with the high-level supernatural forces of Taylor, and the establishment of rapid reaction forces along the "Leiden Valley" should be enough to block a possible surprise attack under Huggins' command.

"Definitely.

I don't think Huggins's action can be so simple, and the premise of the plot is that it is always hidden in the shadows.

Officials can think that it is impossible for Huggins, who actually occupies the absolute initiative in this matter, not to think of it"

Evan never underestimates any enemy, and pinning victory on the enemy will make inexplicable mistakes, that is the real stupidity!

The previous investigation team sent by various countries to "Moby Dick Harbor" has almost confirmed that Huggins has a relationship with the evil god sacrifice.

Which cult was the most active cult on the eastern shore of the Black Sea during this time?

It must be the "Brotherhood of the Deep Sea".

There are already many things that Evan himself has experienced.

At the beginning of his first mission, he encountered an unexpected increase in sea monster attacks in the coastal area (internal military reports speculated that their movements seemed to be searching for something);

Teinkut, the "son of the sea god", whom he met by chance on the way to school (inexplicably provocative);

and then to the biggest tragedy on the East Coast in the past decade led by the "octopus ghost" Huggins.

Ai Wen couldn't help but connect the two, and it was naturally impossible for the high-level leaders of the kingdoms with a broader vision to be without suspicion.

Therefore, after completing the test in the "Song of the Kraken", in just one month, they were given the green light all the way to reach a new "arms sale agreement" as quickly as possible.

Prepare for the worst for the worst possible incursions by the Brotherhood of the Deep.

Then again, if the deal hadn't been reached, there would have been no way that the higher-ups of Pharytis would have sent Aven, the key figure in the invention of the "Siren's Song", on a mission.

Even if this is a continuation of the mission involving the "octopus ghost" Huggins, or the collective debut of the "new stars of the navy" of various countries.

"Just be careful and do our own thing. I have the commander of the local garrison above me, and the bishop of Salt Lake County above you, so that you can keep up with all changes. ”

Evan refilled Ambruss with another cup of tea, and said what he had planned from the beginning.

"Okay, I see. ”

Ambrus thought about it, and this time it was not as alone as the last time in "Moby Dick Harbor".

This time, he is only an insignificant part of the defense force, as long as he obeys the orders of the high-level.

But

Until now, his heart still flashes from time to time all kinds of tragic scenes in "Moby Dick Harbor", and the endless wails of adults, children, the elderly, and women have been lingering in his ears.

Although he has done his best to help those who are weak.

But whether it is because of duty or faith, I have to find the culprit Huggins, the "octopus ghost", to seek justice for those souls who can't be at peace!

Putting aside the task for the time being, the two of them chatted about customs, astronomy and geography, and of course, Milan.

"Mr. Navigator, it was man"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine in two days. ”

They also have to spend a short time together at sea, and later they will have to fight side by side in a foreign country, so it is necessary to get to know each other better.

The Cape Storm set off from Newin Harbour to the outermost estuary of the Leiden Valley in the Kingdom of Taylor, and even with the help of the Monsoon Goddess, it took about 20 days of non-stop sailing.

Therefore, the bad luck effect on Milan does not need to wait for the "Storm Horn" to dock, and it can be eliminated naturally.

Evan also doesn't have to worry about Milan's bad luck affecting possible defense tasks after docking, or even his own life.

It's just that I hope that after today's "angel coming", this guy in Milan won't be autistic

Westerly warm current.

It is also known as the "Trident Current".

Originating from the "Golden Sea" in the middle of the New World, it traverses the entire Black Sea from southwest to northeast, and is divided into three when it reaches the Old World:

One is the Canary Current that grabs the Kingdom of Ilia southward to the Treasure Sea, the Ilminer Current continues northward into the Northern Islands, and the smallest Tesgar Current turns back to the northern part of the New World.

This warm current has a significant impact on the climate of the eastern shore of the Black Sea, especially the tulip states and the northern archipelago region facing the Black Sea.

Some scholars believe that it is precisely because of the existence of this warm current that the livable climate of a series of countries in the northwest of the continent dominated by "tulips" has been created.

Even in the Northern Islands, the closest to the end of the world, the "Eternal White Land", there are excellent ice-free ports and world-famous fishing grounds.

And.

For sea travelers, the right currents are also a great aid to sailing boats, which can greatly shorten the arduous journey of drifting at sea.

But.

Warm currents change the temperature of local waters, bringing abundant nutrients and supporting more organisms lower in the food chain.

Naturally.

Chasing the warm current of the west wind, of course, all kinds of extremely dangerous predators are indispensable.

Especially in the depths of the Black Sea, even the sea monsters, the rulers of the sea, often haunt here.

All things come together, and although a sailboat departs from the Golden Sea to reach Tulips, the Westerly Warm Current is theoretically an excellent sea route that can cut the voyage by a third for at least three months.

But in practice, few captains of such audacity dare to take such a "shortcut"!

Today, however, it is an exception.

A black-sailed pirate ship with the bow of the "Golden Horn Deer" sails the currents and sails to the northeast, which is also the direction of the Tulip Alliance.
