Chapter 457: Maywind and the Dahomey Beauty Warrior
Whew-
A fourth-class battleship flying the blue flag of Faletis sailed out of the "Treasure Tree Bay" alone, and sailed north on the cold Benguela current in the Black Sea at its doorstep.
Its target is the Luanda headland, about 1,600 kilometers north of the "Treasure Tree Bay", and it is also the base camp of Hilius in the southern continent, and the total voyage takes about five days.
However, now that the entire west coast of the Southern Continent is not calm, it has become a battlefield between Sylius and the Tulip Alliance, and it is normal to encounter any accidents on this road.
There is no need to tell the crew to be in good spirits.
And the only good news for the Tulip Alliance after the war began.
It may be that fifty percent of the original share of the treasure tree no longer has to be paid to Sylius, and even Elijah, who dropped the chain at a critical moment, has been completely excluded by Phaletis and Taylor.
During this time, he quit the group all day long, and this time he was simply kicked out of the group by others.
"General, is Captain Gehr really okay alright?"
It had been a long time since the ship had set sail, and the blue-turbaned sailor Chris finally had a chance to come up to the bow of the ship, walk behind Evan and ask him for confirmation with the excitement in his heart.
At this time, the battleship under their feet was not the "Storm Horn", but the "Maywind", which originally belonged to Gehr.
At this time, the "Cape Storm" was still on the way, but Geer's fourth-class ship "Maywind" was no problem. In addition, although the person was rescued, he still needed to recuperate for a period of time, and there was no way to participate in the war for the time being.
It just so happened that most of the crew members were the original crew of the fifth-class ship "Silver Wing".
First mate Perry, Captain Sailor Tellus, Boatswain Chris, and Sail Captain Jab were all confidants who had worked with Uncle Gell for many years, and were also the first of Aven's colleagues after joining the army, and they all took good care of him.
With Ewen as the temporary captain, there is no obstacle to integrate into it, and there is no need to run in at all to form combat effectiveness immediately.
Some time ago, Gehr was out of control, and their subordinates, who had worked with Gehr in the same boat for many years, naturally felt the most empathy, both reverence and regret for Geer's heroic deeds, as well as anxiety about their own future.
In the case that it was almost impossible for Gehr to return to the "Maywind", they did not know who the military headquarters would send to take over the battleship, and of course they understood the truth of the emperor and the courtier.
But he didn't expect that it was Ai Wen who came to take over the "Maywind", and immediately jumped three feet high happily.
It can be said that they have watched Evan grow up little by little, and the big guy is a family, and a worried heart immediately let go.
When Evan told them that Ger had recovered and would soon be returning, the whole ship immediately boiled.
Still, it's obviously a bit hard to believe that Chris specifically asked Evan to ask this question.
"Rest assured, my uncle's loss of control has indeed been reversed, and the time to recuperate will not exceed a month at most. He might even surprise you when he returns. ”
Hearing Aven's assurance, Chris finally relieved. With what he knew about Aven, knowing that he was not the kind of person who talked as much as Gehr, Gehr had obviously really recovered.
In wartime, they can't leave their posts without permission, but it's only a month, and they can afford to wait.
"Pedal Pedal Pedal Pedal Kick T
During the questioning that night, there was an opportunity to take a detour to ascend the third step, and of course Gehr would not refuse.
After his body fully recovers, Ai Wen will personally hold a promotion ceremony for him to [Life Tree Totem Samurai Change].
But until then, he was going to give Gehr a gift in advance for his promotion—the head of the Steel Knight Kungang Teta.
Previously, he had been squatting with Olivia for three days guarding the "Psychic Network", and the Steel Knight Kungang Teta and his ship, the third-class ship, the Steel Dragon, were like shrunken turtles, and they had no intention of going out for a stroll at all.
Just as they were about to find another way to see if they could lure him out, the two base commanders brought good news to Aven.
There is a secret report of bribery, and the deputy commander secretly ordered the preparation of three large cargo ships? It is expected that there will be a trip in five to seven days.
Although no one knows exactly what is going to be done? But it doesn't matter at all, as long as you don't go out with the Grand Fleet, you'll give Aven a chance!
They weren't worried about whether Evan would fold there? Can you become a Blue Eagle and cross the Black Sea in one day? Even the fourth-order titles may not be able to outrun him.
If you can really do the Steel Knight as the deputy commander of the Syrius fleet, it will be a lot of money!
Lucky in the first half? It was all quiet along the way.
Until the fourth day after the sailing, it was very close to the territorial waters belonging to Sylius.
A sudden sea fog hit the sea? The Maywind had to slow down.
Sailing in the offshore area, accidentally hitting the reef is a big problem? Besides, if you are still fighting away, you will directly become a live target for Sylius.
However, after a short time, they did not wait for the fog to dissipate, but heard the fierce sound of gunfire from the depths of the fog on the Black Sea side.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
The familiar orange-red cannon flame was clearly recognizable even through the fog.
And this time and this place? Who will be the warring parties? There is no need to think about it at all.
Sure enough, the battleship had just turned its bow.
Bang –
A shining yellow flare has risen into the sky on the surface of the sea in the distance, it is a call for help from the Faletis Navy, an alchemical creation from the "Violet Eye".
The successive movements also attracted the attention of Aven, who was in the captain's room, customizing the rune seal for Gehr? His brow furrowed.
Fluttering...
The seagulls, who had temporarily stopped working because of the thick fog, immediately broke through the fog and flew to the battlefield that had already shouted to kill the sky? In fact, the distance is only a few kilometers.
When he saw the situation below, Ai Wen couldn't help but sigh softly:
"That man is Kelsen Augustine of the Kingdom's Second Fleet?"
Didn't expect to meet an acquaintance? A classmate in the Naval Academy, the grandson of the deputy commander of the Second Fleet? He was also the leader of the Kelsen faction when the gang was formed.
At the beginning, he and his roommate's First Fleet Krell faction were a little bit out of hand? But there are no irreconcilable contradictions.
Or even when you left the Royal Naval Academy "Port Newin" yourself? The other party also made a special trip to see him off.
Raided by two Cyrius-style warships in the fog and successfully pulled into the broadside battle, the situation of the fifth-class ship of Phaletis was very critical.
"Reinforcements will come soon, kill me!"
On the fifth-class cruiser "Ivy League", after Lieutenant Commander Kelsen gave the signal, he gave a loud shout to boost the morale of the soldiers, and waved the long sword in his hand to meet a group of indigenous female warriors who relied on the side to swarm in.
【Denell Swordsmanship: Bear Rise】
Qiang ——!
The finest transcendent sword collided with the beautifully forged golden spear in the opponent's hand, exploding a bright red spark.
Neck and neck.
But Kelsen's heart sank deep.
Because he had already recognized the identity of this group of indigenous female warriors who drove the battleship of Cyrius.
He wears a gold fan-shaped helmet, a delicate red geometric striped skirt, and bare feet.
Equipped with poisonous blow arrows, spears, scimitars, muskets, and a black cheetah by his side, these characteristics on his body are clearly the "Dahomey Warriors" who belong to the indigenous kingdom of Dahomey!
It is said that among the powerful natives who ruled the slave coast, every 15-year-old woman in the country was subjected to the kingdom examination.
The sick or ugly were put to death, and the most beautiful and strong became the king's concubines, guarding the palace for their noble husbands, who were the original Dahomey warriors.
However, although the skin has a dazzling luster like black pearls, the plump lips protrude outwardly, so that people can't see where the so-called beauty is hidden.
All remaining possessors were also forced to undergo two years of military training to bolster the kingdom's armed forces, as the Nemansters' strong demand for slaves was the backbone of Dahomey's economy.
All slaves need to be captured by the kingdom's army to conquer other tribes and princely states.
And similar to the original totemic beliefs of the Atrelians, the Dahomeians also believe in animism, and the "voodoo religion" that originated in Benin is also their state religion, and they have a unique and extraordinary profession.
That is the [Elephant Hunter] in the warrior class, which is tied with the [Psychic Samurai].
【Extraordinary Profession: Elephant Hunter】
"First Order: Elephant Hunter. Rituals: 1. Independently hunt an adult crocodile or bull elephant as a fifteen-year-old mortal..."
"Second Order: Skull Hunter. Rituals: 1. Cut off the heads of a hundred enemies with your own hands and sacrifice them to the lord..."
“......”
This group of female transcendents are well-trained and skilled in the use of a variety of weapons, including firearms from the Old World, and are even more heroic and combative than the indigenous men.
The credo of the Dahomey Warrior is:
"Let men stay at home and grow grains;
O women, let us bring back the entrails of our enemies;
wielding a scimitar and hoe on the battlefield;
Yesterday we were women, today we are men. ”
And in addition to the great supernatural power.
The significance of their appearance on the battlefield is even more extraordinary, that is, the Kingdom of Dahomey has been driven by the Cyrius people to stand on the opposite side of the alliance!
Obviously, as the largest demander of slaves at present, Dahomey, which relied heavily on the slave trade, could hardly refuse the demands of its major customer, Hiryus.
Suddenly.
"Ah——!h
A scream brought Kelsen back to his senses, and realized that the second-order Dahomey [Skull Hunter] who had boarded the ship was not just one on his side, but a total of four.
While one person was sent to hold him back, three others had already inflicted heavy damage on another senior knight on the ship with the force of a combined attack.
"Dickens!"
During the battle, Kelsen couldn't help but let out an exclamation, because it was the extraordinary first mate that his grandfather, who was the deputy commander, was his escort and his greatest reliance.
In an instant, the battle situation was extremely sinister.
