Chapter 404: The Great Fog of the Sea

The freighter Kudaya is forming a fleet with several other naval mercenary merchant ships.

Along the way, the wind and waves were calm, and as the new Admirals of the Cursed Sea became more and more established to clean up and expel the Deep Sea Fleet, trade in this previously depressed sea area also became more and more prosperous.

Previously, only one freighter, Kudaya, dared to run the Avalon route.

It seems to be a high risk, but over the course of a few months, the captain of the Kudaya freighter, Seruf, has made a lot of money.

This, of course, attracted the attention of many others, and during this time, many freighters began to accept the delivery of goods from Lady Celia to the Avalon Town Wardens.

However, it is the first time that such a new and old members have formed a fleet of not too small a scale and fallen together.

Of all the freighters, the Sarulf's Kudaya is the most diligent.

Moreover, Kudaya's old captain is serious, and Celia is happy to hire them first.

However, this sea area experienced the initial defense of Avalon, and then the sea battle of Amanda, which had a huge impact, and the inconspicuous but real defense of the twin stars.

Even Seluff hadn't been to Avalon for more than a month.

Walking the old road again, the old captain felt a lot.

Of course, the old captain of Syruf, who has been running at sea for most of his life and has seen countless storms and rains, is not sighing or anything because he has been at sea for a few months.

Instead, I remembered that every time I entered that magical sea city, I could see its rapid changes every time, and now after more than a month, the old captain didn't dare to say what it would become there.

The first thing to face for a living at sea is the loneliness of staying on board.

That's not the point right now.

This time, a total of sixteen large and small freighters and a lot of frigates came.

There are more than 20 ships in front and back, and just looking up can make people spit out a breath of sullen breath in their hearts.

Of the many ships, only a handful had actually seen the townkeeper.

Battle of Avalon.

Amanda's deep sea perch sea battle.

The two newborn town guards actually held on.

As a result, this small triangular sea area is not only famous in the Admiralty, but also widely circulated among the people, and the crew has a topic of chat.

Among them, Chef Marcus is the most able to say and the most talking.

The Kudaya freighter chose a long-distance transportation mission that no one dared to take, and every detail that happened on the road could be made into a small story as a story for the pioneers.

Especially after only a few months of walking, Avalon gave the old captain of Seluff a small frigate, which made everyone envious.

Speaking of this frigate, there is actually a little story.

Lady Celia is very capable, but her background as a merchant is a little less discerning.

Koji asked the businessman's eldest sister to stay in Shalena's town to guard the mansion and develop, but she didn't give a letter for a month or two.

Nasilia had to toss on her own.

The Merchant's Big Sister initially wanted to assemble Avalon's own merchant fleet.

Later, Koji also agreed with Celia's opinion after knowing about it, but Koji couldn't look at the mess of backward sea ships on the market, and the merchant sister's merchant fleet plan was stopped and has not been started yet.

Celia's acquisition of a few freighters and frigates was thrown aside.

It's not a pity.

The big sister of the businessman who lives a budget-conscious life did not choose good goods when she bought those ships, and she was more face-saving than practical.

Later, Captain Seluff opened the Avalon route, and in gratitude to the old captain Celia for sending a dilapidated merchant frigate as a thank you.

This is nothing, the so-called merchant frigate is widely defined in the Federation, and theoretically you can call a cargo ship a frigate by having a few more soldiers with guns on board.

But the frigate sent out by the merchant's big sister is not an ordinary frigate.

The boss is a naval admiral.

I met a female admiral with higher qualifications around me.

With such a good advantage, how can the big sister of the businessman not know how to take advantage of it.

A tattered frigate was towed to the dockyard of the Shalena Town Guardhouse, and with a few clicks, what came out was a regular naval frigate that could be called armed to the teeth by the people.

This also inadvertently created a channel for Shalena to get rich.

Find other Admirals to buy some bits and pieces of perch, load them on civilian ships and sell them for the price of armed frigates.

During this time, the merchants who were looking for the female admiral to apply for the purchase were all lined up!

You ask, how could it be that other admirals hadn't thought of it before?

Yes, actually, the Admirals thought of it.

But the implementation is just not enough.

In the past, the fragmentary dwellings that the admirals themselves did not like were usually swept up to merchants, who in turn sold them to shipyards and even pirates.

Few real admirals thought of using their town guards and elves to build civilian ships.

Anyway, in the last two months or so, Admiral Sharona is said to have made a lot of money.

Hawkers, it's not enough to make more money.

The main reason is that this directive can affect the future commercial prosperity of the town guard.

When a businessman has a professional armed frigate, he will have the courage, and if he is bold, he will lead to other aspects.

Otherwise, there would not be more than two dozen ships running towards Avalon now, after all, Avalon is alone in the heart of the deep sea.

"Captain, there's a telegram from the Ace."

A crew member trotted to deliver a telegram of paper.

The Ace is the armed frigate that Seluff acquired from Celia.

Because it was the most "professional" and equipped with the most "advanced" weapons, the Ace walked in front of the caravan under the leadership of Captain David to lead the way and reconnoitre.

There was only one sentence on the telegram: There is fog ahead!

Captain Syruf looked up at the weather for some reason.

Now that the northern seas have entered September, the weather is starting to turn cold, but today's weather can be described as windy and sunny and sunny.

I haven't heard of a storm or anything around the fleet, but it's clear on the sea, where is the fog?

The old captain must have believed in David.

As an order was issued, people stood on various observation platforms on the Kudaya freighter to look for the sea fog that the frigate Ace spoke of in front.

Stop.

It's really foggy.

After getting the news from his subordinates, the old captain personally checked it.

Almost 30 kilometers away from the fleet, the sea was like a huge marshmallow with thick fog.

Syruf has been running at sea for so many years, and the general weather forecaster is not as professional and authoritative as the old captain, but it is very strange that the sea fog is thick and weird.

"Turn on the signal lights to tell all the ships to stop moving forward and have the captains come over for a meeting...... Inform the frigates to keep an eye on the sea at all times. ”

There are many strange things, and although the old captain is puzzled, he is still calm and calm.

Fleets of freighters flicker to each other.

The fleet, which was already slow, almost completely stopped, and spun in place.

The captains or lieutenants of the freighters converged on the Kuya Tuba in small boats, and their faces were not very quiet.

Of course, the news of the discovery of a large density of sea fog in front of the fleet is going to spread, and once there is unexpected weather at sea, it will be related to the deep-sea fleet, and at this time, even the old captain of Syruf is not happy.

The captains gathered on the deck of the Kudaya and watched the thick fog that appeared on the surface of the sea one by one.

The rest of the sea was clear and unobstructed, except for a wall of clouds in front of it, which was blocked from the endless clouds.

"What do you think?" The composure of the old captain Syruf invisibly gave everyone a lot of confidence.

"I've never heard of this kind of weather." Someone said a nonsense.

"It doesn't look like rainstorm, it looks like sea fog in general...... The way it appears is too weird. An experienced captain said.

"Can we get around?" Someone asked a real question.

It was a young captain who asked if he could get around.

The average old captain would not ask such a stupid question.

It seems to us that the sea is not land, and there are obstacles ahead, and ships can go anywhere if they turn a corner.

But you have to know that in times of war, navigation is not as free as you think, and the route taken by each ship before going to sea needs to be carefully checked and reported to the Admiralty or local authorities.

In case you encounter any accidents at sea, people can follow your route to find you.

If you finally change the route, how do you let people find the vast sea.

And the freighter is not a pleasure boat for the rich.

In addition to carrying a large amount of cargo, each ship had a limited amount of food, fresh water, etc., to prepare.

Although it will be more than expected, no one can guarantee that you will be able to reach your destination within the scheduled time once you change routes, and you may not be able to find a small island to replenish fresh water along the way.

There is really no way to change routes.

In particular, the world where a deep-sea fleet may appear at any time on the surface of the Azure Star Sea.

But the young captain was right, when going out to sea and encountering these incomprehensible weather and climate, he either chose to go back or bypass.

It is rare to decide to stay put.

Captain Seluff shook his head:

"I've just seen it, the sea fog covers a huge area, directly blocking our route to Avalon Town, if we choose to change course and detour, I can't guarantee what will happen later."

"What then? Look at the sea fog can't be dispersed in a short time, let's go back the same way? ”

When you return the same way, everyone is even more riotous.

Such is the case with merchants at sea.

Let them take risks, few people have the courage and ability.

But if you let them return with a ship full of cargo, it will cost them their lives, and it is better to grit your teeth and gamble.

"Did you notice, that sea fog seems strange." It was the experienced captain who touched his beard and seemed to be a little moved.

"Captain Kuya, please." Old Captain Seluff asked.

The man known as Captain Kuya nodded.

"Mr. Seluff has been to the Avalon Town Guard the most times, have you seen this before?"

"I've never been, I've been to this position a few times before, and I've been very close to Avalon, and a little bit further on, I'll be picked up by a ship lady who will be Avalon."

"Oh, I don't think the density of the sea fog is like the fog of ordinary sea fog, and it is dense but has no signs of spreading, as if it is deliberately confined to that sea area, and there is a bit of artificial flavor in it."

"Artificial?"

"How could such a large sea fog be artificially created."

"If it's man-made, we should be fine when we go in, maybe Avalon's shipwreck has already come to pick us up."

"If you want to find death, don't pull me, before the matter is clear, I'd rather go back the same way with the goods, the sea is so dangerous, God knows if there is a warship of the deep-sea fleet hidden in the thick fog."
