The dhow narrowly rounded the storm belt and continued to sail eastward, after all, there was no detailed chart of the area, so it was difficult to find the fabled new island.

And in the ocean voyage, just two hours is not a distance at all, usually in this kind of long-distance transoceanic voyage, the standard of calculating the time is usually calculated in days, and even the distance of the voyage is farther, even in terms of months.

Because without the GPS satellite positioning system and the modernization of the hull's high-efficiency propulsion system, it is simply a fool's dream to cross the ocean areas such as the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean in a short time with the primitive sail ships.

This is simply not possible, not only Levi understands, but even the captain knows that maybe a few hours of their reconnaissance trip is completely not enough.

In fact, Levi's reconnaissance time for the new route to the east was scheduled to be two days.

From the South Trumming Sea to the North Trumming Sea, a single voyage takes about a month, and there are only two small islands with no fresh water as supply points, which shows how distressing the time of ocean voyages can be.

And Levi had also heard those old sailors say that when the North Trumchi Sea was just developed, a reconnaissance fleet was also sent to the surrounding waters, but the result was that nothing was found, and in the end, it was not done, and the specific reconnaissance situation was not explained in detail, let alone the news that those old sailors could know.

But in the mouths of those old sailors, there are a large number of Koutao fishmen around the North Trummagnami Sea, and there are even more Koutao fishmen on the east coast, and it is said that the biggest reason why the reconnaissance of the east coast has stalled is also this.

However, considering the information obtained from the elves, an island on the new route is occupied by the primitive race of sub-humans such as the Kou Tao Fishmen, so according to this important news, it has also been determined that there is indeed an island full of Kou Tao Fishmen in the eastern seas.

It is the most important transit island of the new route, an important node that can connect the elven sea area and the human northern whistling sea!

Just like from the North Trummagna Sea to the South Trummagna Sea, you must pass through two node islands, and although you can't replenish fresh water, you can also buy rum that can be used as drinking water, or various fruits and supplies, so that the merchant fleet can finally reach its destination without a series of tragic problems due to lack of supplies on the way.

Therefore, the island occupied by the Koutao fishmen and where they thrive, was the most important area connecting the two seas, and it was absolutely impossible for Levi to let it be occupied by the elves. 【】

In particular, although the Kou Tao Fishmen are amphibians, they actually need food and fresh water, since that group of fishmen can reproduce on the island, then the most important point is that the island is an island with fresh water!

Perhaps in the previous life, the earth did not pay much attention to islands with fresh water, because even between the Atlantic or Pacific oceans, with the help of ocean currents and monsoons, it was possible to find ports or land before food and fresh water were exhausted.

But this world is absolutely different, very different!

When he came to this world, Levi had already realized that this world was a world dominated by the ocean, and all the habitats of any living thing were on those pearl-like islands.

In the previous life, the ocean currents and monsoons generated by the rotation of the earth are not such a thing in this world at all, even if there is a tide, it is not simply from one direction, and even at the edge of some sea areas can form completely different hedging currents, so it has also formed a violent vortex that is tens or even hundreds of kilometers long, and has also become a natural border between various sea areas, that is, an important way to divide the sea area.

Even the sea breeze basically blows in the direction of the tide, and the boundary of the complex vortex formed by the hedging of the tide meets as if the wind cancels each other out, and also forms a windless area.

In this world, this is the famous whirlpool windless zone, where no captain dares to set foot easily, because even if the god of luck is beside him, it is estimated that he will not be able to let a fragile wooden ship pass through the sea area where the waves are undulating due to the whirlpool, and the waves are extremely complicated.

And the sails are useless at all, and the row of oars alone simply does not have enough power to get out of the whirlpool, so you can only watch yourself with the whirlpool, and the wooden boat under your feet being swept into the reef in the whirlpool and smashed to pieces!

How miserable is this? But this is also the most tragic portrayal of sailors!

No one will go to the border of the sea, even if they dare to get close, once the ship gets out of control and is carried into it by the fierce tide, there is no need to do anything except pray for luck that is not in a million, and the character of a lifetime is in danger, and almost in the fire to reach another sea area.

For in that whirlpool without wind, everything was in vain, death was death, life was life, and the most widely circulated surviving event from the mouths of sailors was a lucky one hundreds of years ago.

As for the other guys who dared or unconsciously entered the whirlpool windless zone, they had already been destroyed into piles of broken wooden planks and drifted in the vast sea, never to disappear again, as if they had never appeared, becoming a microcosm of the mysterious disappearance in this world.

This is also the case, which is why Levi is so cautious about the exploration and reconnaissance of the eastern seas, especially when he learns about the islands on the new route, he is also extremely cautious.

The North Tsunami Sea is basically bordered on all four sides, and such boundaries can be reached by sailing for months at most, but there are no islands or places to replenish foster care along the way, and places of no value are simply not necessary to explore.

What can be known at present is that only the south relies on two nodes, and after more than a month of sailing, it can enter the South Tsunami Sea, and it is also the only trade and exchange object in the North Tsunami Sea.

Now that new routes and islands have appeared in the eastern seas, it is like reopening a window in this originally closed environment, and the neighbors connected to it are still strange elves, and it would be too stupid for Levi not to do anything with this window that is still in his hands for the time being.

He didn't know if the elves were hostile, but Levi knew that if the fleet of the elves was not far from the fleet of Gray Mist City and did not reach the level of a modern fleet, then he would have a certain advantage.

Especially under the double insurance of artillery and battle tactics, even if it is a mysterious elf race, Levi does not need to care too much, the afterglow of the Spanish Empire's invincible armada has never passed, even during the period of the British rising empire, the Spanish Empire's fleet can still control South America, rather than being captured by the emerging sea power!

From the reconnaissance ship sent by the elves at that time, the blade throwing vehicle used can be found that this long-range weapon, which is not much different from land warfare, is even inferior to the ballista often used by humans to some extent.

Even if it has the advantages of long range and fast rate of fire, as well as stability, but the power cannot penetrate the armor like the stone bullets fired by the ballista, not to mention that compared with Levi's large-caliber long-barreled naval guns, the advantage of the artillery is that the range is longer, the shells are more stable, and the power is greater!

This is what Levi relied on, since the elven reconnaissance ship could come to the offshore sea to investigate, then his dhow would definitely be able to go to the sea area of the new route to investigate.

Of course, it would be better if the island could be discovered, but in Levi's opinion, the two-day reconnaissance journey is estimated to only be able to explore a small area of the sea, according to the distance between the two Truning Seas in the north and south, as well as the distance between the elven sea and the human sea, Levi does not believe that it can be easily reached in a month.

If you think about it carefully, otherwise, in the past few decades, why didn't so many elven merchant ships arrive and occupy this sea area and the Great Silver Pan Island before the human race?

If the distance is really very close, it will be possible to come in ten days, and the journey in the middle is not difficult, it is estimated that there are many more elves in the North Trummaging Sea than the current humans!

As for the female spellcaster of the elves who had been arrested and placed under house arrest by Levi, that Lucia had revealed that it was also a trouble for the elven fleet to clear the Kotao fishmen on those islands, and the original choice of these elves was also to reach an agreement with those Kotao fishmen for some reason.

The Kortao Fishmen allow the Elves to establish a transit port on the edge of the island, but in exchange it seems to offer enough food and magical items or the Kortao Fishmen will attack.

Although that Lucia also gritted her teeth and said that as long as the main fleet of the elves arrived on the new island, all the Koutao fishmen would be wiped out, but according to the size of the detachment, guessing the strength of the elves, Levi could also find out that the island on the new route was not very peaceful.

In particular, the Kou Tao Fishmen have been searching for ancient magic gold coins, and with the appearance of hundreds of fish in a litter, it is probably not impossible to form a sea of people even if they occupy an island.

According to the rumors in this world, although these Kou Tao Fish People are primitive tribes, they also know the basic means of life such as fishing, and even dig fish ponds, or use the sea to herd fish around the coastline like sheep, so as to provide the daily food of the Kou Tao Fish People.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the east coast of the North Tsunami Sea is very well developed.

It is possible that many of the fish grazing by the Koutao fishmen broke away and combined with each other to the east coast of Dayinpan Island with the tide, and eventually brought rich fishery resources to benefit the current Haijiao Town.

………………………………

Time passed quickly before you knew it, the waves were howling, and the slight sea breeze was still blowing on the sea, giving the sails of the dhow enough power.

Now it has been a whole day, they have sailed in this vast sea for a day and a night, and now it is just the morning of the next day, and a round with a blazing sun is slowly rising in the east, bringing people a warm feeling, but also dispel the fatigue of last night.

Levi also walked out of the cabin, rubbed his sparse sleepy eyes, slowly stretched, and turned his head to look at the outboard of the ship, but it was still the same blue.

That's the sea.

The freshness of yesterday has already dissipated today, and Levi also understands that during the ocean voyage, these seemingly vast seas will eventually become numb in the heart, and even looking at the same will make people feel depressed, angry, and even mentally ill, which is very common.

The sea may be vast, but it is never the vastness of human beings, because all they set foot on is the deck of the ship under their feet, and there is only these spaces, and they seem to be trapped people.

In the traditional navy, a ship, whether merchant or warship, would be staffed with a priest or priest, who was responsible for enlightening sailors who seemed to have no way out, so that their mentality would not fall into madness with the paralysis of religion.

However, I don't know why, the ships recruited by Levi have only the most basic crew, and most of them can be regarded as combatants, such as cooks, doctors, priests and other auxiliary personnel.

This caused a little trouble for Levi, but fortunately the distance they sailed was not far now, if it was really the distance from the North Trummagna Sea to the South Trumchi Sea, then he would have to directly recruit the probationary priests in the church, who had not yet been discharged, to serve as chaplains on the ship, to guide the sailors and relieve psychological pressure.

Slowly shaking his head, the sea breeze made Levi's spirit clearer, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the sailors who were busy on the deck, and he also walked towards the bow of the ship.

The captain was there looking through the binoculars, as if he had found something, and he didn't even notice Levi when he came over, until Levi asked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything out of the ordinary? ”

"Good morning, Your Majesty."

The conscientious captain also frowned slightly, shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, and signaled in the direction ahead: "A group of Kou Tao fishmen seem to have appeared there, and they are coming towards us. The speed of his speech slowed down slightly, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's definitely coming towards us, and it is estimated that we will be ready for battle." ”

"Kou Tao Fishman?"

Levi also took out the binoculars in his arms, and looked at the sea in the distance, a group of Kou Tao fishmen who were riding on a tattered sampan, all of them with teeth and claws, and their brows were also furrowed.

As soon as he got up in the morning, he met this group of guys, and he couldn't help but feel helpless, and his cowhide boots stepped on the side of the ship, and he also turned his head to the captain and said, "This is really unlucky." ”

However, he did not underestimate the enemy, in this vast sea, the result of despising this group of Kou Tao fish people is not optimistic, directly pulled out the scimitar on his waist, and his order has been transmitted throughout the entire ship with a loud voice: "Brothers, prepare for battle!" ”
