The fleet of the Greenland Empire on this trip has a total of more than 210 ships, and the flagship led by the fourth-order magic ship "Demon Scorpion" has two main abilities, one is to absorb the magic power of other magic ships, and the other is the "Scorpion Tail Magic Needle Cannon" at the stern. Of course, a powerful existence like a fourth-order magic ship often has a variety of abilities, and it is impossible to summarize them in one word.

The Flame waved various flags, shuttled through the fleet, and quickly reached the side of the Scorpion, and boarded the porthole.

Changed into a navy uniform, Donk stepped aboard the ship. He is now a nobleman, with a full military rank, and has received the canonization of the Queen. When the sailors on the ship saw him, they had to stand up and salute and be respectful. When he arrived at the captain's room, he shook the letter in his hand, but the guard at the door said that the commander was busy now, and asked him to stay in front of the door later.

Obviously, the other party called him here, but Tang Ke was closed, which made him feel a little unhappy, but he couldn't have a seizure.

The first governor, the second emperor, the third master, the fourth Yan, the fifth commander, and now in the room is one of the famous five commanders, George Tina.

As can be seen from the name, George Tina is a woman, she is the only female surname among the five commanders. Those who can ascend to the position of commander are all strong people in ten thousand, and George Tina is no exception, she is an eighth-order magician, her surname is Feng, and she is also the mother of the third Jay Emily.

The Greenland Empire started late, and only after the beginning of the Age of Discovery, did it taste the sweetness of maritime trade and gradually rise to prominence. When it comes to national power, the Greenland Empire is inferior to the other four countries.

Twenty years ago, the Greenland Empire did not yet have an eighth-order magician, which had always been the queen's heart disease.

Georgina sensed the queen's worries and took the initiative to ask the queen to leave and go outside to hone herself. Ten years later, Georgitina returned from the attack on the Greenland Empire, then an Eighth-Order Magician, and ended the war with a swindling victory, helping her country to victory. It took George Tina ten years to ascend from the sixth order to the eighth order, and in such a short time, you can imagine how much sweat it took to do so.

When it comes to ambition, loyalty, mentality, etc., Georgio Tina is not inferior to men, and is the type of strong woman.

Donk waited for half an hour before the door to the captain's room opened. He entered the house in a muffled voice and gave a military salute to Georgiotina.

"Warrant Officer, I called you here to talk to you about those sailing races. This time, there are four competitions, two games for ordinary boats and two games for magic boats, and the competition is racing and shooting. Which ones would you like to attend? George Tina rested her arms on the table, her chin propped up, her brow furrowed slightly, and her beautiful eyes on both sides showed signs of age.

"Of course, all four of them were attended." Donk blurted out. In each of those four races, the championship rewards were coveted, and there was no way to miss it.

"You have the Flame, and I have no objection to participating in the Magic Ship Competition, but I don't have confidence in you in those two ordinary ship races."

Tang Keda frowned, and said angrily: "What do you mean?" ”

"You have greatly increased our chances of winning with two magic ships, and if I deprive you of the other two races, I will not be reconciled. Okay, let's have a warm-up race at sea, and if you can win the ordinary boat, I'll give you the right to participate. Georgitina spoke in an affirmative tone, not asking Donk for his opinion.

Donk stared at George Tina for a moment, a warm anger in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll take this game, but with a little bit of jackpot, and if I win, I'll be given two boat spots in each game."

Georgitina rolled her eyes and nodded, "I agree." ”

The large fleet slowed down, and at the command of the commander, two small ships of the same type sailed near the Scorpion. Although these two three-masted galleons were small in size, they were very fast, and their top speed could soar to twenty knots per hour, which was comparable to that of the magic ship. In order to reduce weight, both ships did not have any artillery, and the wood of the hull was also very thin.

The commander sent a group of men on board the small boat, and these people were the master sailors in the fleet, including captains, helmsmen, sailors, sailors, and so on.

Donk also boarded another ship with his own men, don't look at his power as much as the Greenland Empire, but the people who brought this group are also masters of boating. In order to win this sea competition between the two countries, he spent a lot of money and hired several captains in the ports of Greenland.

"Windranger, that's a nice name."

Donk glanced at the small flowing print on the rudder and smiled.

Four other captains were also in place, three of whom were to control the sails of the three mainmasts, and the other was to wait on the Donk's side as a reserve captain. On a normal sailboat, the sail controller controls the sails, but this race is no small one, and the most experienced captain controls the sails.

The sailors are also in place. Although the large number of sailors can make the sailboat heavier, in that kind of blazing speed, the sailor needs to press the broadside to ensure the balance of the sailboat.

"It's a headwind, and there are seven to eight levels of visual inspection!" An old captain with a wide-brimmed hat glanced at the pennant fluttering on the rope and shouted.

"It's just the headwind that's fun." Donk loves the game and is full of energy, "If you win today, the sailor will be rewarded with fifty gold coins, and the sailman will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins!" Everyone gave me the spirit to sail the boat, and I must win! ”

The pirates roared in response, roaring with excitement.

"Less complacent, victory will be ours!" Some of the contestants on the Navy's Thousand Feathers couldn't sit still and provoked this side. The navy was usually well-trained, but under the stimulation of the game, the formation had long been out of order, and they all lay on the side of the ship, shouting.

George Tina ordered the navy aboard the Thousand Feathers to calm down and hurry up and prepare. She is the referee of the race and is not involved in driving.

The rules of the game are simple: within an hourglass time limit, two ships sail in a straight line against the wind, and when the time limit is up, which ship is in front of you wins.

The two ships were quickly ready.

"Game on!" George Tina shouted crisply. Just listening to the voice, you would never guess that she was already fifty years old. With a wave of her hand, she created a gale and sent two ships on a ride.

Like wild horses on the loose, the two ships galloped forward, crushing the waves and sailing in the wind. Under the strong wind created by the magician, the sails were held tightly, and the mast of the fortitude was bent with it.

"It's too windy, tighten the backsail cables, front sail cables, and cable-stays!" Donk ordered.

In fact, even if Donk did not give the order, the three captains were already doing these jobs, and under a strong tailwind, the canvas should not be too loose, and the three riggings should be put away to make the canvas tighten a little.

Not long after sailing, the magically created tailwind disappeared and became a normal headwind.

"The time has come to test me!" Donk's eyes lit up, and he flicked the rudder again and again, and the huge wooden spokes were as light as toys in his hands.

When a sailboat is sailing against the wind, there is a "best course" where the fastest speed can be obtained. The search for this mysterious passage falls entirely on the helmsman, not the sailman.

If the sailboat goes beyond the best channel and runs to the upwind side, the front wind line of the sail will be relaxed, if it runs to the downwind side, the wind line on the back of the sail will be relaxed, and only when it happens to be in the best channel will the sail show a perfect curve and get the smoothest wind!

Through careful observation, Donk was able to find the best course to get the fastest speed on the Windranger. He glanced sideways, raised his eyebrows, and found that the other Thousand Feathers had also found the best course, proving that the other party's helmsman was not simple.

The two ships have been on par from the beginning to the present.

"Interesting, let's take a look at the sensitive surname of the wind direction." Donk chuckled, the wind is like a woman, ever-changing, and you need to constantly adjust every detail on the sailboat in order to always stay at the highest speed.

The race was very fair, the boats were the same, the number of people on board was the same, and no other way was allowed to interfere with the ship than the gust of wind sent by Giorgio Tina. Even at the bottom of the sea, there is a group of tiger sharks supervising them, and if Donk finds a sea beast to help him at the bottom of the ship, he will be judged to lose.

The victory or defeat of the two ships is only a competition of pure strength.

Half of the hourglass time has passed, but the two ships still haven't been able to tell the winner, and the difference between the front and back is only twenty yards, "Captain, the water on the sea is a little black, and the gusts of wind are coming soon, this is our chance!" Wendy, who knows the sea best, reminds. Although the scars on her face have disappeared, she is still accustomed to wearing the veil by her last name.

"Very well, let me use this gust of wind to widen the distance." Donk was excited, the gusts were stronger than usual, and it was the best time to get the sailboat to accelerate.

Because of the foresight of the coming gusts, the Windranger was prepared earlier than the Thousand Feathers, and as soon as the gusts came, the speed immediately soared, and the sailors on the deck almost fell, and one man's hat was blown off, and the hat danced in the air a few times and fell into the sea.

The Windranger took the opportunity to widen the gap of three hundred yards and ran ahead, and the pirates laughed.

Not to be outdone, the Thousand Feathers were not to be left behind, and kept in hot pursuit, shortening the distance between the two ships to a hundred yards.

The yellow sand in the hourglass had passed to the end, and only that handful remained. At this last minute, both ships chose to change course and pursue a tailwind, striving to go some extra distance at the last minute.

The so-called headwind, but relatively speaking, the sailing ship cannot sail in an absolute headwind, in fact, it is a diagonal sail to accept the crosswind.

The race is coming to an end, and if you increase the wind, you will deviate from the course, but you will increase your speed, and it will be over anyway, so it doesn't matter if you deviate at all.

With the same idea, the two ships turned to the southeast together for a final battle.

At the last minute, the pirates nervously adjusted every detail of the sailboat, maintaining the advantage, always outpassing the Thousand Feathers.

Time is over. The Windranger won by about fifty yards.

"Haha, we won!"

"Great, I've got the gold!"

"How? The navy of the dog knows how powerful we are! ”

"Idiot! Be quiet, now that we're pirates royal, we can't scold them. ”

"Uh, sorry, I was so excited that I forgot about it."

Listening to the cheers of his men, Donk exhaled and smiled. He handed the rudder to the reserve captain and turned to face the Chiba, which had been left behind.

"You've lost." Donk cocked his thumb, then turned it downwards and pressed it twice. Seeing this contemptuous action, the sailors on the Thousand Feathers were so angry that their faces turned green.

Although it was a race between two ships, the entire fleet followed behind, and George Tina, who was on the flagship, watched the race through a telescope.

"You can't underestimate these pirates, they are so skilled at sailing ships." There was no sadness or joy on Georgiotina's face, and she was not discouraged by the defeat of her men. Anyway, the competition between the two countries will be the highlight after a while, and if Donk can win, it will also win glory for the Greenland Empire.

The two participating ships slowed down and came into the arms of the Grand Fleet.

"You win, according to the agreement, I will give you two places in each race, you can go well." Georgio Tina said to Donk.

"Thank you, Commander. I don't think the captains and sailors on the Thousand Feathers are very good, do you want me to take some time to train them for you? "Donk is getting carried away again.

"Thank you for your kindness, but you don't need to. And I would like to remind you that I am not the best captain in the fleet in this game. ”

"I see." Donk shrugged with a smile and turned to leave.

At this moment, the system confirmed Donk's qualification and gave a mission prompt.

"Ding! You have inspired the Race Mission, the objective of which is to win as much as possible in the Greenland and Dragon's Tooth Naval Competition, and the mission rewards are 5000 points for 1st place in the Magic Boat Racing Competition, 3000 points for the 2nd place in the Magic Boat Racing Competition, 1000 points for the 3rd place in the Magic Boat Gun Racing Competition, 5000 points for the 1st place in the Magic Boat Gun Competition, 3000 points for the 2nd place 1500 points, 3rd place 500 points, 3000 points for the first place in the ordinary boat cannon competition, 1500 points for the second place, and 500 points for the third place. ”

Donk whistled, and with the system mission, the game had to be redoubled. After such a long time of accumulation, his reward points have increased to 15,000 points, and after this competition, it can be increased to at least 20,000 points, and it will be enough to recruit strong people or organize special forces.

He is now a sixth-order powerhouse, and the level standards for recruiting personnel have also been relaxed accordingly, and he can recruit a fifth-order powerhouse at most. In other words, as long as there are bonus points, he can directly recruit a fifth-order magician!

"Very good, let me fight hard this time!"

Donk strode out of George Tina's captain's room.
