"Cheers to the Emperor of the North!"

Clondo walked out of the captain's quarters in his cloak and ordered the sailors to take out the remaining liquor from the warehouse and distribute it to all the crew members who accompanied the ship, and the nerves were already stretched into a straight string by the increasing pressure, and it was time to relax.

In fact, as the captain of the ship, the pressure on Crondo is not less than that of others, but greater, the Gloester chart was given to the Black Dragon Emperor, and he is also the direct person in charge of this mission, if he finally returns to the Northland with nothing, he can't believe what kind of ending he will face.

So Crondo is far from being as breezy as he seems, and his inner anxiety and torment are tormenting him all the time.

Fortunately, they all survived, and after half a year of drifting at sea, today, the ocean-going fleet has finally reached its final destination, for which some people even shed tears of excitement.

But arriving at their destination does not mean that the mission is over, on the contrary, their mission has just begun.

Clendo, an experienced captain, did not lose his mind amid the cheers of the crew after a drink, and did not rush to order the landing, but let the fleet cruise near the offshore waters, spending some time observing the situation on the shore with telescopes.

Veloster is a hidden place for the Eladians, and the light of civilization is far from reaching the corners of the world, so it is impossible to have a port on this continent where large ships can anchor and leave, and the shallow waters not far from the coast are a forbidden place for the ocean-going fleet.

With the displacement of ironclad ships in the ocean-going fleet, it is difficult for even the smallest cruising reconnaissance ships to reach the shore safely and stably on their own without running aground, not to mention flagships, frigates and supply ships - they cannot sail into the near sea at all, and can only be anchored at a long distance from the coast.

The Northland's "Landing Ship Project" is still in the long process of research and development, and the crew can only rely on the primitive wooden boats of Eladia to get to land, which is very dangerous, because of poor stability, weak defense, etc., at this time, once the soldier is discovered and attacked, even if the opponent only uses primitive bows and arrows and projectiles, the damage caused is enough to kill.

By "the right place", Crondo meant avoiding a wooded, open coast, which would allow for observation of the situation, as well as support from the sea in case of an emergency, and ensure the safe landing of soldiers. In addition, it is also conducive to setting up a sentry post as soon as possible after landing on the shore to guard against the attack of the natives of Villeste.

After half an hour of observation and analysis, combined with a comprehensive discussion of the information handed in by the reconnaissance ship group, Clondo selected the landing site of the soldiers.

He was solemn, his fingers moving across a simple, half-finished map based on information integration, and finally froze in one section: "Here we go ashore." ”

"Huh?"

His remarks aroused the unanimous confusion of the rest of the command room, because the discussion and analysis just now revealed that the commanders had come up with a total of two landing options: the entire south bank and parts of the east bank in open terrain.

In contrast, the situation on the South Shore was much better than on the East Coast, and it was reasonable that a small landing on the East Coast would only be an alternative, but Captain Crondo chose this more difficult path.

"This is the order, inform all the landing personnel to prepare!" Clondo did not explain his motives, and the order was given immediately.

The reason for this decision is that after a certain period of time, they are bound to leave the land, and once they come into contact with the local natives in the process, as long as they are not stupid, they will definitely investigate their motives, where they came from, where they landed, and even after they leave, build a tight defense line in the original landing site.

This was not what Crondo wanted, and he understood the predicament of his country, the blockade of the empire on which the sun never set, the collapse of trade, the backlog of domestic goods, the sluggish economy, and the surge in unemployment...... All kinds of instability have brought great harm to the North, and the suppressed country is constantly finding new ways out.

If Willow is judged to be valuable, the Empire will definitely visit the continent again, and Crondo wants to hide the landing on the South Shore to create the best environment for the Empire to return.

……

Landing training is one of the regular training and assessment subjects of the Northern Fleet, soldiers who cannot complete the assessment with excellent results will not be allowed to become a member of the Northern Fleet, in various military training the royal court orders are very strict, even the superior spellcasters have no privilege, still have to be trained and participate in the assessment.

Therefore, from the order being issued, the troops were prepared to the beginning of the operation, the whole process took less than five minutes, and soon, hundreds of landing craft were dropped in the warships of the ocean-going fleet, densely packed like dumplings, moving towards Vloster in a fast and orderly manner.

The landing plan was unexpectedly successful, perhaps because the natives of Villeste did not care about the coastal guard, or perhaps there were no indigenous tribes in the vicinity at all, anyway, the landing troops did not suffer any obstacles or blows during the whole process, except for dealing with the bumps of the waves.

"At least for now, it's a land of abundance."

Crondo, who jumped ashore, thought that when the ocean-going fleet approached before, he had seen many beautiful islands with lush forests one after another, and after standing on the main continent, he found that this place had a mild climate and fertile land, which was far better than the barren land and harsh climate of Eladia North.

Such a land should belong to the Blackwing Empire!

"Quickly get your stuff off the ship and hurry!"

Before his feet had been on the ground of Villeste for a full three seconds, Captain Crondo's order arrived: "Go inside, we must set up the garrison and sentry before sunset." ”

His Majesty's order was to try not to offend the local natives, try to trade with them, new trade goods, and build a maritime trade system.

But in Crondo's own judgment, this is basically impractical, otherwise the guys of the trading city-states would have done business a long time ago, as far as he knows, the natives of Vloster are a group of xenomorphs with dark skin and strong bodies, and they have not developed a highly organized society similar to states and city-states, that is, the Vlosters are not eager for trade, on the contrary, they are extremely wary and hostile to foreign sojourners.

Coupled with language barriers, different customs, etc., it was clear that it would be difficult for them to reach a friendly agreement with the Velos, and the forerunners of the trading city-states had tried, and proved to be ineffective, similar policy measures were ineffective.

Therefore, Crondo secretly disobeyed His Majesty's orders of the Emperor and took matters into his own hands, not continuing to make futile efforts in this regard, but allowing his subordinates to devote their limited time and energy to the exploration of the climate, estate, social composition of the indigenous tribes, and the level of force of the indigenous tribes.
