In that tragic killing, it was not without fish that slipped through the net, a small boat with manual oars escaped from the boat at some point, and quietly rowed out in the opposite direction before the gray mist came over!

And this small boat is the captain who commanded everyone in the middle of the deck just now!

"Damn, why is this happening? Why is there that thing here? Could it be that they were chased from there? ”

"No.... No, it was obviously coming from the direction of Dongdaji! ”

The captain looked in the direction of Dongdalu, the horror and anger in his eyes slowly turned into surprise, and muttered, "Could it be ..... That Gangwu Empire didn't have a rebellion, but encountered this kind of thing? ”

If so.... What to do on your own?

His name is Henry. Bartolo, one of the princes of the royal blood of the country of Tanzantry in the Western Islands!

However, because he has no mage talent and is not a descendant, he does not have any real power in that country, and can only enjoy some royal privileges, and he cannot continue his descendants without a formal title, which leads to the fact that although he can enjoy the royal family support now, his descendants may have to be reduced to moving bricks in the future....

This situation was intolerable for most nobles, but he couldn't help it, his identity sensitivity made him targeted, and his brother-in-law, who stood in line with him when he was young, did not become a king, and was cut off and hung on the city wall.

It's already very good that he hasn't been cut down, and it's naturally even more impossible to hold power, the former military power has been taken away, and he can only retire and die.....

But two years ago, because of a major event, a rare opportunity appeared.......

The big thing came from the far eastern continent: the side of the Gangwu Empire.

Since one day two years ago, the connection between the Western countries and the Eastern Continent has been severed, first many cargo ships have been postponed and have not returned, and then many mage families that have connections with the Eastern Continent have also broken off their connections, and they have found that they cannot be contacted there anyway.

Then more and more ships went missing, like kites with broken strings, and many nobles suffered heavy losses, knowing that most of the goods they carried were of great value.

So the royal families of various countries sent ships to investigate the situation, but none of the ships sent could come back!

After several times like this, the countries of the Western Islands suspected that the Gangwu Empire had seized their ships, so the countries finally decided to jointly organize a military fleet to go there!

But the result was unexpected, this advanced warship with the highest military technology of all countries, and a fleet of several archmages, failed to come back!

This made the archipelago countries suddenly panic, and even anxious that the major powers convened a world conference.

At the world conference, after several days of high-level discussions, Holden, who has studied the Steelwood Empire the most, finally came to a conclusion: There may have been a coup d'état in the Gangwu Empire!

Master Holden proposes that the power of the Gangwu Empire is composed of mage families joined by the Western Islands, and powerful local warrior military attachés!

Due to the need to contend with the powerful beasts, the Gangwu Empire has more high-level warriors than the entire Western Islands combined, and the local forces and the immigrant nobles have always been at odds with each other.

He thinks that the balance may eventually break down over there, and the samurai forces unite to suppress the mage nobles and seize the power of the Jiawen dynasty!

Only in this way can we explain why the fleet is gone, because neither the pirate forces nor some individual forces can wipe out the combined warships of the countries, and this ability can obviously only be possessed by the forces that have integrated the national power of the Gangwu Empire!

But because there is no definite information, and there is no way to rashly organize an army to crusade, many lords feel that they should send people to inquire about specific information and try to organize a larger-scale military operation!

But how many ships go to this route on the west coast are like meat buns and dogs, how can they guarantee that they can come back if they don't organize a larger fleet?

And what if a larger fleet is organized and still can't come back? The fleet formed last time was already very powerful, and all countries contributed their most advanced warships, and the operation suffered heavy losses, and it was obviously impossible to organize another wave before figuring out the situation.

Later, after deliberation, a scholar with a status no less than Holden proposed a plan, that is, to take out the proposal of the East China Sea Route again!

The idea of opening an additional route had long been proposed, but the proposal was shelved because the Gangwu Empire did not build ports and transportation roads for the East Coast Rim.

But now the situation is special, the west coast is obviously guarded by a huge armed force, and if the new route is successful, it will be of great significance for detecting intelligence or catching the Gangwu Empire off guard!

Coupled with the fact that this kind of thing can use the help of those navigators who have nothing to do, and greatly save the government's costs, so everyone agreed with this resolution, and finally.... A sky-high bounty has been issued!

Adventurers who succeed in opening up routes will not only have great wealth from the government, but also promise to choose one of the thirty-two kingdoms to obtain a duke title and own a considerable territory!

So under such a major lure, many civilian captains, or people like Henry, who were unwilling, enthusiastically joined the mission of exploring the route!

The exploration of unknown routes is a very dangerous thing, and it is very likely that it will be left on the sea forever, so Henry is very well prepared, and he almost dragged out his previous relationship to get this big ship named Victory!

The Victory is their famous warship in Tanzantes and is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, including a heating and distilled water system for the crew in addition to a steam engine. The rudder and propeller were fenced off with iron to prevent damage.

In addition, the ship had enough food for three years to feed the crew: 61,987 kilograms of flour, 16,749 liters of beverages, 909 liters of wine for healing, 4,287 kilograms of chocolate, 1,069 kilograms of tea, about 8,000 barrels of canned food containing 15,100 kilograms of meat, 11,628 liters of soup, 546 kilograms of beef jerky and 4,037 kilograms of vegetables. To prevent scurvy, lemon juice is also available on board.

All this crossed off almost all his wealth, and he also borrowed a large sum of money from the bank, apparently intending to break the boat!

But I didn't expect this to be the result!

He thought that Iceland would be the final test, but he didn't expect nightmares to follow!

There are still at least ten days to go to the East Continent, so it is still predicted according to the speed of the warship, and you have to make at least three times your own handstrokes, right?

I was so busy running not to mention food, I didn't even bring a pot of fresh water, how to paddle to Dongda Road?

And..... Can you still go there now?

Henry looked at the strange gray mist in the distance.......

The gray mist obviously came from the Eastern Continent, after experiencing the terrible things in Iceland, he knew very well what the hell was in the gray mist, if the Eastern Continent suffered from this kind of thing, that place would have become a terrifying hell!

But if you don't go there, where can you go so far?

Thinking of this, Henry closed his eyes weakly, and a deep despair welled up in his heart!!
