Chapter 280: Heading to Turtle Island
Originally, the harvest was not very much, plus I had to share the spoils with other pirates. 35xs
The pirates weren't stupid, and of course they couldn't do that.
Therefore, as soon as the battle was over, most of the pirate ships began to sail away in all directions.
At this time, the inferiority of the pirates was very obvious, obviously they still belonged to the alliance just now, but after the battle, they immediately killed each other.
Although Nightblade is still very keen on those pirate ships at this time, after all, whether it is sinking or capturing a pirate ship, you can get a lot of reputation points.
Killing pirates also rewards you with keys of varying value.
But the problem is that sometimes there are some things that you can't do if you want to, like now, although Yefeng wants to continue to slaughter the Quartet, but the pirates under his command are already exhausted, and if they really continue to fight, then it is really difficult to say how much power they can exert themselves.
He doesn't want to steal chickens and lose a handful of rice!
After all, as the saying goes, if there are more ants, you can bite an elephant to death!
And in the naval battle, if there are not enough pirate men, then Ye Feng alone, even with his many summoned beasts, will not be able to support it for long.
After all, naval warfare is different from land warfare, on land, even if you can't beat it, you can still find a way to escape, but in the vast sea, once you fail, you really have to wait for death.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng immediately let his subordinates set sail, but as for the direction and destination of the voyage, he didn't care, because the most important thing at the moment was to leave this battlefield first.
The regular warships of the Spanish Navy were indeed not comparable to those of the pirates, who had relied on the transformation of armed merchant ships, and in just a few minutes, the Verde sailed away from the battlefield at an astonishing speed.
Although it still can't compare to Fernandez's battleships made of watercore wood, it is much faster than the pirates' armed merchant ships. 35xs
After breaking through the blockade of several pirate ships, the Verde quickly disappeared into the sky at a speed of 16 knots.
And those pirate ships could only look at the white scars left by the Ver's fast sailing across the sea.
After a quick voyage for more than half an hour, seeing that there was no sign of the other pirate ships behind him, Nightfront asked his men to slow down the ship.
After all, if the Ver was able to break through the blockade at such a fast speed, it also required a certain price, that is, the physical strength consumed by the oarsmen was a lot.
Because the sailing ships of this era, although they mainly rely on sails to sail with the help of wind power, most ships still rely on oarsmen to increase their speed with the help of sails.
However, compared to the endless sea breeze, the physical strength of the oarsmen is limited after all, so the general battleship will let the oarsmen do their best to speed up at important moments, such as when pursuing or fleeing.
The same sail warship, with the help of oarsmen, can increase its speed by at least two to four percent in a short period of time.
Therefore, if the night blade does not want to be unable to speed up in the event of an emergency, it is necessary to relieve the fatigue of the oarsmen.
When the oarsmen were not paddling to increase their speed, the speed of the Veril began to slow down slowly.
At this time, Nightfront had Huska, Sinett, Dembala and others called.
Looking at these pirate subordinates who were the core among the many subordinates, Ye Feng opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know where Turtle Island is?" ”
After looking at each other, Huska and the others said in unison: "Of course I know!" ”
Then, it was Huskar who explained: "The location of Turtle Island, according to our current coordinates, should be a few days of sailing westward, and we should be able to drive there!" ”
"Hmm!" Ye Feng pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "Then we will set off for Turtle Island immediately now!" ”
After hearing this order, Huskar and the others immediately dispersed to arrange their work, and after a while, the sails on the battleship began to be turned artificially, and then soon, the whole battleship began to slowly turn and sail in the direction of the west. 35xs
The reason why Nightfeng wants to go to Turtle Island is also very simple, because Turtle Island is a very complicated island, and there are a lot of pirates on it.
Suffice it to say, if you want to recruit a crew, then you can go to Koh Tao.
If you want to buy information, then you can also go to Koh Tao.
Turtle Island is also an ideal place to buy rare treasures, but only if you have enough power, otherwise, even if you can buy the items you want, you won't have a chance to bring them out.
And he went to Turtle Island based on the above reasons, after all, if he wants to buy legendary creatures, then he must issue a mission in the intelligence club, and at the same time, if he wants to go to the current place of the sealed female sea god - Colybuso, he must also acquire intelligence from Turtle Island.
And if possible, Yefeng also wants to see if he can recruit capable pirates on Turtle Island, after all, the stronger the pirates under his command, it means that it is easier for him to venture in this world.
And after the Vere turned its bow and sailed away to Turtle Island to the west, the fatigue of the previous series of battles also came up like a spring.
After asking his men to inform him if there was a situation, Nightfeng walked into the captain's room alone and prepared to take a good rest.
In this era, the captain of a ship is equivalent to the leader of a team, so the captain's room can be said to be the best room on a ship.
Although the captain's cabin is not as comfortable as the hotel rooms of later generations, for a ship with limited area, the size of the captain's cabin is quite good.
In addition to a large bed in the corner, the captain's cabin has an oak table several meters long and wide, on which a rough chart of the Caribbean Sea is placed.
There are a lot of regular ports marked on it, but these ports are like chickens for pirates.
Since no normal port would welcome pirates, they generally greeted them with lead bullets and cannonballs, rather than warm hugs and delicious rum.
Strictly speaking, in the vast Caribbean Sea, there are only a few ports open for pirates, among which there is Turtle Island, and Turtle Island is also one of the most prosperous ports among the sporadic pirate ports.
It's a pity that Ye Feng didn't understand the professional annotation knowledge on the charts at all, so after looking at it for a long time and gaining nothing, he gave up the idea of continuing to watch the charts.
Sure enough, professional things still have to be handed over to professional people!
Thinking of this, he also lay down directly on the big bed placed in the corner.
Compared with the soft Simmons of later generations, the beds in this era were originally much backward, and at this time they were on top of the battleship, so the difference in the comfort of the beds can be imagined.
However, despite the fact that the bed board is very adaptable, Ye Feng still forces himself to fall asleep quickly, and for veterans who have been on the battlefield, mastering the ability to fall asleep quickly can be said to be an indispensable skill!
After resting for a few hours, he was sleeping soundly, but suddenly felt a violent vibration.
Under such shaking, of course, it was impossible for him to continue to sleep, and after immediately getting up and walking out of the captain's room, he realized that the reason why the battleship shook so much was the strange and changeable weather.
There is an old saying that is good, on a June day, a child's face, it will change, in fact, this sentence should be placed on the sea, and the weather on the sea can really be said to change!
It turned out that the sky was cloudless and very clear a few hours ago, but immediately, the thick clouds quickly condensed, as if the entire white and blue sky had turned lead blue in an instant.
And the moment the dark clouds formed, a huge storm blew violently, and those who have not experienced a storm at sea really cannot imagine how terrible it is to encounter a storm at sea.
The rolling wind and waves blow the Verne to the left and right, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will fall into the sea, and at this time, falling into the sea is really no different from looking for death!
From time to time, dazzling lightning streaked across the sky, giving the impression that God was wrathed.
At this moment, a wave suddenly hit, and the night front was immediately pushed to the edge of the boat by the wave with huge kinetic energy.
The body collided with the edge of the boat and made a dull loud noise, even if the physical strength attribute was as high as 37 points, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pain!
After clutching the cable and getting up, Ye Feng grabbed the cable and walked to the wheelhouse with difficulty, but the wheelhouse was actually a rudder that controlled the direction of the ship at the highest point of the battleship.
After all, this era does not have the radar, navigation and the like on the iron ships of later generations, so the direction of navigation and control must always pay attention to the sea.
When he walked down the stairs to the wheelhouse, he found that the rudder was the original pirate ship captain Haska, after all, as a former pirate ship captain, Huskar still has a certain ability to control ships.
And in this situation, only a man as strong as Huska could steer the rudder under huge winds and waves.
If you are an ordinary pirate, if you are not careful, you will be swept into the sea by a sudden huge wind and waves.
