Chapter 225: The Treasure Fleet

However, when everything seemed to be in place, a new problem awkwardly awkwardly appeared.

"The loot is too rich, more than two hundred people can't drive three warships, especially one battleship!"

In this era, the sail system of the sail warship is complicated to operate, and it is impossible to start at all if there are fewer personnel, even a simple sea steering requires the tacit cooperation of the rudder and the sail system, as long as there is a little operation error, it will cause a very ugly scene.

Therefore, the feat of Jack Sparrow and William Turner driving away a warship is simply a hanging.

According to the normal staffing, it is possible to achieve a basic three-shift operation, and a standard fourth-class battleship needs 35o people for the normal standing staff.

There is no way, counting all the sailors in hand now, a little hard work can barely achieve two shifts of non-stop sailing, while the other two warships can only lower the sails and let the battleship tow them.

Without an emergency, the battleship is not a big problem, and with the assistance of the "Ship Statue Monsoon Goddess", it should not be much slower than normal sailing.

"Raise the sails and set sail!"

"Hey.. Hey.. Hey.."

Soon the ship's loud trumpets sounded, and the crew worked together to raise the sails and get the big creature back in motion.

The tow rope connects the "Storm Horn", "Conch" and "Thumb" in a line and sails together to the east, that is, the offshore direction.

Successfully killing Bassem, so that Aven's exploits have accumulated to the point that others are completely unattainable, and a stone in his heart has fallen to the ground, and he is no longer too concerned about the hunting operation.

The crew of the original "Reef" on the ship was really a little envious, their original battleship was sunk by pirates, and they wanted to return to the mainland on their colleagues' ships, but they did not expect to witness this group of colleagues who rescued themselves and settled in a fourth-class battleship.

Colleagues who were faintly lower than their own status were suddenly qualified to enter the main battle line, but in contrast, their own group of people became stragglers who lost even their boats.

This kind of gap is difficult for those who have not experienced it to understand.

However, it is redundant to think about it now. Let's behave well on the ship, and hope that Captain Evan can say a few good words for his people at the headquarters when he returns to the fleet, so as to avoid the impact of defeat and capture.

But.

The fleet, which rode the wind and waves, was forced to stop after less than half an hour on the sea.

"What's wrong?"

Pedal, pedal, pedal...

Before he could get up to the stern, Milan had already shouted to Aven, who had just given the order to brake the sailboat.

"See for yourself!"

In the Psychic Connection, the seabirds look at the sea below.

Beneath the vast white clouds is a vast expanse of turquoise water, and a large fleet of ships on the surface of the sea is full of sails and slanting to the south.

The snow-white sails are connected together, like white clouds falling on the sea, which is very spectacular!

At a cursory glance, there are at least sixty sailing ships. It is a huge fleet composed of more than 50 merchant ships with a very deep draft and 10 large and small escort warships.

"What a fleet!"

Although it was rare to see a fleet of this size, it was not a reason for Aven to order a halt.

The point is the identity of this fleet!

The flagship of the escort fleet is at least a third-class battleship, and the mast is full of various colors of general's flags, noble flags, and fleet flags... And the long flags of flame patterns on the mainmasts of all warships behind it undoubtedly indicate their origins—

The Great Fleet of Treasures of the Kingdom of Cyrius!!

"All-seeing eyes are on top! What kind of luck are we to meet the Jumbo Fleet returning from the new big 6! Are they going to this route because of an accidental deviation?"

Evan didn't have Milan's relaxed mindset, he observed more and thought more.

In the detection network of seabirds, there is much more than this treasure fleet on the sea. Dozens of kilometers away, at the limit of the distance where the lookout can recognize the flag with the help of tools, there are also many large and small ships that are difficult to identify.

This doesn't look like a harmonious situation!

As the current hegemon of the seas, Cylius organizes two large-scale fleet voyages each spring and autumn to connect the vast colonies with the mainland.

When they went out, they carried local guns, linen and other goods to the colonies, and when they returned, they were loaded with gold, silver, precious stones, spices, tobacco, silk, etc., especially gold and silver, which were abundant overseas, which made all the pirates and enemy countries at sea salivate.

Every time I return from the new big 6, there are countless eyeliners in the eye.

Hostile nations coveting this lucrative lucrative stake, powerful transnational organizations disguised their identities, powerful pirates with great fame, and even some daring hyena-like pirates are trying to bite a bite into this piece of fat.

In fact, on this dangerous sea, even the invincible Cyrius Fleet was not without destruction. Sudden storms, sea monsters, and sniping from powerful enemies!

If you're lucky, even a little pirate isn't out of the question.

Of course, their mentality is the same as that of gamblers, pressing down the chips, what if they stud it?

The Cyrius navy who undertook the escort mission will naturally cheer up the spirit at this time, although this time it is only a small fleet, but the goods in it are also priceless, which is related to the huge military expenditure of the kingdom this year, and any disturbance will cause them to be vigilant at the highest level!

Of course, as the defense force of the hegemonic fleet at sea, it is the greatest deterrent in itself, and it is enough to discourage the hungry wolves before the intervention of irresistible external factors.

Just like this escort fleet, in addition to the accompanying cruisers, it is for a quasi-legendary battleship "Guards Commander"!

With three decks, 7o guns on board, a capacity of 52o people, and a displacement of 15oo tons, this is the largest number of capital battleships in the battleship sequence of the navies of various countries, except for the fourth-class ships that belong to the compromise scheme.

This class of warships is the most perfect combination of firepower, navigation and cost in this era, not to mention that this is also a quasi-legendary warship with conventional power!

"Your Excellency, as in previous years, after we successfully left the open sea, the eyes watching along the way gradually increased.

It's just that they have traveled far away, and they have been hanging behind the fleet, and they don't know if there is an ambush behind them for the time being.

Do you think we're going to allow the cruisers to go out of their crews and drive out these sea fanatics?"

The lieutenant enters the captain's chamber of the flagship "Commander of the Guard" and reports the latest information to the fleet commander, Viscount Lavender, the captain of the quasi-legendary battleship, and the Grand Knight Vice Admiral Adonis Auston.

The tall and burly fleet commander, with the elegant demeanor in his bones, did not express his position immediately when he heard this. Instead, he looked at the other person in the room and asked in a very equal tone, "What do you think, Mr. Andon?"

On the high-backed chair was a middle-aged man in a black robe and a short white man, with fair skin and neat hands crossed on his legs, even if he was facing a fleet commander and a mortal at the level of a great knight, he did not feel the slightest restraint.

Hearing Lieutenant General Auston's words, Anduon smiled slightly:

"It's safe to expel all of them, but as long as we see with our own eyes which bad guests have come, can't we make a decision later?"

When he speaks, he also has his own plans.

This time, I returned from the 6th National University of New Zealand, and I wanted to represent my school to meet His Majesty the King of Sylius, the first sea power, and seek some unspeakable cooperation.

Although his power is undoubted, it is a good opportunity to give this respected vice admiral insight and increase the bargaining chips in the negotiations after a little.

"Oh, do you want to go up to the lookout?"

Not quite understanding what the Mr. Andoune meant, the general asked.

"Hehe, look!"

Without the intention of playing tricks, the black-robed man directly cut his finger and popped out a drop of blood.

Tick –

However, the drop of blood did not fall to the ground, but melted into the air in front of the three people, gently fading the blood-colored light like ink dripping into water.

A few breaths have taken to form an oval bust without a frame.

And the picture presented in the mirror is the scene on the sea near the Grand Fleet, and it is a 360-degree panoramic picture.

The sixty-five merchant ships and warships belonging to the fleet are constantly shrinking, and the range covered by the picture in the mirror is constantly expanding, five, ten, fifteen...

Gradually, beyond the range that the lookout can observe with the naked eye, it is still expanding.

Ships with suspicious shapes and sailing in sync with the fleet were completely exposed. Although I can't see anything too detailed, I can still tell the power of each sea ship based on the flag and style of the ship.

And.... There was no hidden fleet farther behind them.

"The 'Rainbow Trout' pirate group, the nearby state of Acamomedo... It's all small characters that don't have much weight.

Over there are two fifth-class cruisers from the Sark Empire, and a privateer warship from Atlan... And a fourth-class battleship with black sails and the flag of Phaletis, well, a fleet?"

The adjutant was familiar with the large and small forces on the Black Sea, and he reported the names of those who were slightly famous, and there was undisguised amazement in his words at the methods of this mysterious figure.

As an experienced naval officer, how could he not know what this ability meant for navigation?

Anticipating the enemy's first opportunity can already allow the fleet to achieve absolute battlefield superiority, not to mention...

"If you have this ability, it is not a dream to achieve long-range precision strikes at the line-of-sight with the ability of the Commander of the Guards!"

What he could think of, the general naturally wanted to think of.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart at this guest's magical methods, he smiled and said, "Hahaha, Mr. Anduon deserves to be the second seat of the Cursed School!
