Chapter 126: Misery

"Too many suspicious targets?" The Morpheus Knight muttered a few words, then fell silent. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Apparently he hadn't expected such an outcome.

At this time, Captain Kaplin, while directing the aftermath, also took the time to ask, "Master Murphy, what do you see?" ”

"Offerings, lots of offerings. Although I can't peep into the process of the sacrifice, the advance preparation of the sacrifice is not protected by divine power. Speaking of this, Mage Murphy accentuated his tone, "And according to my observations, those sacrifices were not prepared by the same people in the same area. Their costumes and surroundings are very different. ”

"Sacrifices? Was this attack an impact of sacrifice? Captain Kaplin immediately thought of something, and he touched his chin: "But with the temper of that Highness, if you want to make such a big move just now, the number of sacrifices is not small. In this case, it is possible to have several families worship separately. ”

Although Captain Kaplin was not a professional theologian or occult student, as an old man begging for a living on the ocean, he knew something about the god who always affected his comfort. The god who is as moody as the sea is still more credit-conscious when it comes to 'collecting money and doing things'. It's just that her gift is not cost-effective, and the price of making the big scene before is absolutely staggering.

"How many families were involved in the sacrifice of this attack?" Knight Morpheus, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. It seems that even if there are a large number of participants, the knight in front of him is also advocating reciprocal revenge.

Mage Murphy turned his head to look at the knight, "Mr. Morpheus, you'd better calm down. I'm afraid it's not that simple this time. There are 4-5 of them that I recognize alone. There are more than a dozen that are not impressed, and they need to wait for the information to be compared after going ashore. ”

"14-15? How can there be so many? We don't have that many hostile forces in Boreham! When did you offend so many people? Barrett, who heard this, finally couldn't help but exclaim. However, while he was acting, he also slandered in his heart: 'Eighty percent of the trouble caused by the Tutkel Commercial Republic, we definitely hit ......the deputy car by mistake'

The current prosperity of Boreham cannot be a complete peaceful rise. It is impossible for only one or two organizations and regimes to offend openly and covertly. However, these hostile forces are basically recorded by Boreham. The members of the Boreham family who have traveled abroad know all about this. And Barrett can almost be called backwards.

But according to Barrett's memory, even if all the records on it were combined, they were less than double digits. While it is possible that the enemy was omitted from the record, such a large disparity in numbers clearly makes this a very small possibility - if even the intelligence work had been so flawed, the rule of the Boreham family would never have existed to this day.

"We don't have so many enemies, but the merchant republic of Tutkel certainly does. It seems that the other party has really made a big deal in order to make the agreement yellow! Knight Morpheus also immediately found the right answer based on the situation.

Compared to a county like Boreham, the merchant republic of Tutkel is much larger. However, the enemies of the merchant republic of Tutkel are also directly proportional to its size - strength aside, the number alone has formed an absolute crushing effect on the enemies of Boreham Territory.

One of those fellows could easily find 14-15 families to hold a great sacrifice, using the power of the furious sea god to cause trouble for the trade route between the two sides. So in many cases, it is not necessarily a good thing to unite with the powerful, because the enemy of the strong is often also the strong - even if the quality is not good, it can be made up by quantity.

And Boreham is naturally experiencing the same problem now, but because he is not a weak person, he can be regarded as passing this test. Although so many sacrifices are not carried out together, when the purpose of the prayer is the same, it will also cause accumulation and superposition. Even if there is some loss in the process, the power of the concentration is also amazing.

Captain Kaplin's fingers clenched a few scratches on the railing of the stern deck: "We have escaped a life-and-death disaster this time. I wonder if the fleet sent by the merchant republic of Tutkel on its back will be as lucky as we are. ”

"The sea is vast, who knows about that kind of thing?" Mage Murphy understood Captain Kaplin's mood right now, but he could only continue to pour cold water: "But if that fleet is really wiped out, we will know the outcome when we get to shore." ”

'It seems that they are not very comfortable with the team sent by the merchant republic of Tutkel! Barrett immediately heard what the two men were saying. But he doesn't think so.

It is true that the army of the merchant republic of Tutkel is not strong, but what is lacking is mainly the high-end combat power part. The quality of the soldiers at the grassroots level and the level of the officers are still good. And the navy is the most testing of these two points, plus the Tutkel commercial republic has money, willing to invest in warships. So its naval strength is still quite commendable, at least the overall strength in this area is much stronger than that of Boreham.

"Either way, revenge is needed. You can't let those guys live in peace. "The Morpheus Knight was acting rather stubborn. Regardless of whether his party hit the deputy car by mistake or not, the loss just now is real. In this regard, he believes that there is absolutely a need for justice.

Barrett always felt like he had to do something at this time: "I think it's up to the Earl to decide what to do with those framers, or to inform the territory of the territory first." You can't just rush to the door like this! ”

"Do you think I look like such a reckless person?" Knight Morpheus patted Barrett on the head in a frustrated manner. But when he turned back, he met the skeptical gaze of Mage Murphy. This made the corners of Morpheus Knight's mouth twitch slightly.

At this moment, the second mate quickly waited on the stern deck: "Report to the captain!" There are now 641 people alive on board, and a total of 131 people are not counted. Of those, 83 are Marines. ”

"There are so many?" Captain Kaplin had already been mentally prepared for this. But after hearing the exact number, his face still changed dramatically - but it seemed that most of the losses were made by the Marines, so there was no feeling of lightheadedness. Otherwise, the situation would be even worse.

"I think there were less than 150 Marines in total! At this moment, most of the casualties were not killed and injured at once. The Morpheus Knight said with his hand on his forehead. Because the number of Marines is sure, it will inevitably increase the burden on him.

And Barrett, who directly participated in the battle to defend the deck, has no objection to this: "If it weren't for the abundant reserves of medical supplies on the ship, I am afraid that the loss would be more than this small number." ”

Thanks to the priest's full preparation on the front, most of the seriously wounded seamen and marines had a good chance of surviving if they were not killed on the spot. But even so, there are still 131 people who have completely passed away, which has to be said to be a major loss.

And this is only the loss of the 'Iron Curtain Barrier', and the loss reports of the 'Silver Sword Brave' and the 'Mithril Core' have not yet been notified here, but according to Barrett's expectations, it is definitely indispensable. It can be said that this time alone, the Boreham fleet lost almost twenty percent of its manpower.

The only good thing is that because the main battlefield is concentrated on the deck, most of the losses are marines. The large number of seafarers is also preserved, so that the next daily shipping will not be greatly affected.

"The tail rudder had a serious crack and came loose. It must be reinforced to ensure a safe ......"

"Half of the sail lines need to be replaced, and the safety nets need to be repaired......

"There is a large area of deformation in the hull of the ship, which must be dealt with immediately. Otherwise, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the subsequent voyage. If possible, the keel section must also be systematically inspected to prevent the worst-case scenario......"

"The three sails have different degrees of breakage, and they will probably be repaired tomorrow......"

"The circle is about 15 percent overloaded and needs to be re-maintained. Request to open the reserve ...... in the safety cabin"

"After the five guns overheated, a response plan of rapid cooling was adopted. I need to use spells to patch up, get me some helpers......"

"8 deck toolboxes are missing, 5 barrels of wine are broken. The rest of the supplies can be recycled, but the loss is more than 10 percent......"

In addition to the loss of personnel, the damage to the hull and the loss of materiel were no less significant. Unlike the previous patches after being attacked by Naga, this repair work is definitely a big project.

Looking at the representatives in charge of all aspects reported in front of Captain Caplin, Barrett was somehow glad: "There are no sea beasts at the signal anchor, otherwise it will be a big problem." ”

Less than half an hour later, damage reports from the Silver Sword Brave and Mithril Core were also delivered to Captain Kaplin: "178 and 192? Bowdick and Croce, are you all idiots? How can we die so many more than we do? ”

"Maybe it's hand-to-hand combat, and the deck is not strong enough!" As Mage Murphy spoke, his gaze drifted to Barrett.

Barrett, who suddenly found himself stared at by several pairs of eyes, could only pretend to be unaware and continue to watch the busy sailor below. Under the command of Master Michel, they began to scrambly divide the remains of the sea creatures on the deck. Follow the alchemist's request and find him useful materials.

"It's a pity that only one came." Captain Caplin looked at Barrett and said with pity.

But Mage Murphy explained him with his wrinkled face: "It would be nice to be able to draw one temporarily. It's not like you're unaware of the current situation of the territory. There is also a need for manpower elsewhere. ”

Barrett would love to tell them, 'You're wrong. But at this point he could not find a suitable explanation.
