Chapter 284

When Salen arrived at Spice Island, he was warmly welcomed by the long-awaited Governor of the Spice Islands, Zhang Khan Zhi, and the 1,000 soldiers who stayed behind held a bonfire for them......

After three full carnivals on the island, in the end, not only everyone in the fleet joined in, but even the natives who could speak Chinese joined in - at that moment, Salen finally felt the heart of the Tang Dynasty and the eclecticism of Han culture.

At this moment, Saren finally returned to the Tang Dynasty completely, but the obsession in his heart has not been eliminated - that is, to go back to Rome and ask those who betrayed him, why did he give up himself in the first place? But then he will be the great Captain Salen, standing above their heads and shouting and shouting, while those who betray him will be his captives, kneeling at his feet and begging for mercy.

After the carnival, Salen unloaded all the materials brought by the fleet, and then brought nothing, he returned with a full fleet of spices, he knew too well the preciousness of spices, not only in Datang, if these spices could be sent to Europe, then the price would be even more crazy.

"Alright, Lord Salen, that's going to work." The navigator Qi Bin is the old man on Li Zhen's fleet, and he is also one of the people who followed Li Zhen to the Spice Islands last time, in fact, in Salen's fleet, there are not many people like Qi Bin, after all, Saren is also the first time to run so far, and it is the first time to come to the Spice Islands, if there is no guide who is familiar with the road, Li Zhen is afraid that he will get lost.

"That's pretty much it, isn't it?" Saren then turned his anger into joy and asked about business.

Qi Bin said: "That's the case, I looked at it just now, it seems that something is abnormal, according to my estimate, there should be a tropical air mass forming one hundred and fifty kilometers in front of us, with a speed of eighty kilometers per hour, that is, we must find a safe haven within an hour, otherwise we will be caught up in a tropical storm, and ...... when the time comes."

This is the role of navigators, if it is an inexperienced fleet, where can you foresee a storm from a hundred kilometers away? They can only be discovered when the storm enters their field of vision, but what is the use of it then?

"Why don't you come early?" Saren was shocked, a storm of eighty kilometers per hour, this speed of the storm is enough to tear his fleet to pieces, if he can't find a safe haven, then he is really dead, his revenge has not been avenged, he has not returned to Rome, he cannot die.

"Captain Saren, be calm." Different from Salen's anxiety, Qi Bin seemed quite calm: "As a captain, you have to trust your navigator, when do you think I panicked?" ”

"Do you have a way?" Saren looked at him in surprise.

"That's right." Qi Bin also stopped selling Guanzi: "I took a look at the surrounding water flow, it is a typical round-the-island flow, that is, there must be islands nearby." ”

"Whew...... Scared me, why didn't you come early? Oh, God forbid. Saren was immediately relieved to be able to touch the island before the storm, and Saren began to think of his God again.

"Captain Salen, see the island." Qi Bin suddenly jumped down from the watchtower and shouted.

"Great, I saw it too." Saren was overjoyed, looking through the telescope at the black spot in front of him.

"Order the fleet, slow down...... Wait a minute, what's that......" Just as Saren slowed down the fleet, he suddenly seemed to see something move on the island in front of him, and quickly separated from the whole island......

"Bad ......"

Three Queens......

Saren slowly opened his eyes, and the ship's doctor who was waiting next to him immediately exclaimed, "Captain Salen, are you finally awake?" ”

"What's wrong with me? Ah~" Saren wanted to get up, but immediately a sharp pain came from his chest, making him scream uncontrollably.

"Captain Sallen, are you awake?" Qi Bin heard the sound inside, and immediately rushed in, and when he saw Salen, who had woken up, he was immediately surprised: "Great, we will have the backbone when you wake up, and you have been in a coma for three years." ”

"What the hell is going on? How did I get to this and what happened? Saren finally noticed his situation, he was now wrapped in a mummy, under the white gauze, Saren clearly felt the presence of the plank, his right hand and body were wrapped together, only his left hand could still move, and a sharp pain in his chest told him that the injuries on his body were not light, and he might even have internal organs, if this was really the case, then he would have to lie down.

But when Saren recalled what happened before, he found that his mind was in chaos, and he only had a few minutes of memory, but he couldn't remember anything about the three years ago.

Hearing Salen's question, Qi Bin's expression suddenly sank, but he still comforted him: "Captain Salen, since you have woken up, let's rest well, your injuries are very serious and you need to recuperate...... You don't have to worry about anything else for the time being, we are out of danger, the enemy is also blocked by the storm, we are safe, and then you can recuperate well, you can rest assured that I am here, and I will definitely bring everyone back to Lingnan safely. ”

"What the hell is going on......" As soon as Saren heard it, he understood that something must have happened to the fleet, and he was in a hurry, but at this moment, a burst of messy information suddenly came out of his mind, and the whole mind suddenly exploded, and the severe pain directly made Saren faint.

“…… You take care of the captain and keep this matter a secret, so that he is not irritated again. Seeing that Saren fainted, Qi Bin breathed a sigh of relief, Saren was suddenly in poor health, if he heard this bad news again, I was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

After instructing the ship doctor, Qi Bin walked out with a gloomy face, came to the deck, and saw the situation around him, but he sighed deeply - he saw that the original majestic Kuohai had lost its original style, the brand-new hull was covered with patches, and the deck was full of potholes and cracks, which could be called seriously damaged.

The most important thing is that the large ships that originally guarded the Kuohai have been reduced by more than half, and the remaining half are also devastated. Among them, the two fourth-class battleships and one third-class battleship escorting the left and right are missing, and it is not known whether they are still there.

In addition to the Kuohai, most of the other fifteen Zongheng-class merchant ships in the fleet have also disappeared, and there are only seven of the remaining plus the Kuohai, and each of them will not be less injured than the Kuohai, one of which is half-sunk on the sea, and can only be dragged by other ships to continue sailing

All of this has proved one thing - that is, this fleet has experienced a terrible naval battle, and the enemy's combat strength is not weaker than them or even stronger than them, otherwise with their strength, it would never be so tragic.
