Chapter 382: Login
Facing the beautiful woman's firm eyes, Ye Feng could only say helplessly, "The reason why I accepted this mission is to gain the friendship of the mermaid clan, I hope that in the future, as long as my team does not violate the contract, then the mermaid clan will not be able to take the lead in attacking my people!" ”
When Ye Feng said these words, he could clearly feel that when he said these words, there was a powerful spiritual power fluctuation that had been enveloping him, and there was no doubt that this should be the witchcraft method used by the mermaid to test whether he was lying.
Soon, the mermaid and the beautiful woman made a harsh sound at the people, which gave people the feeling that it was like the sound of a classmate scraping the blackboard with her fingers like a prank when she was a child, which was very uncomfortable to listen to.
After hearing this harsh sound, the surrounding mermaids immediately sank to the bottom of the sea, and all of a sudden the hundreds of mermaids that had surrounded the Tempest disappeared completely.
Except for the beautiful woman and Selena, the mermaid who entrusted the mission of the night blade!
Then, under the influence of magic, the sea beneath the beautiful woman lifted her body like a fountain to the height of the deck of the battleship.
Looking at Ye Feng, the beautiful woman didn't speak for a long time, but just when Ye Feng herself felt very embarrassed, the beautiful woman suddenly said, "Although the lie detection magic confirms that you are not lying, but I still have a hard time believing that someone would take such a big risk simply for the friendship of our clan, I believe that you should also get general information from Selena about the risks of this mission?" ”
In this regard, Ye Feng did not rush to defend himself, but after contemplating for a moment, he said, "I don't know if you have ever heard such a sentence, there is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests, as long as there are three hundred percent benefits, even ordinary people will take risks!" ”
"And if there are enough benefits, even such a thing as treason is not uncommon!"
"So! I'm not telling lies, this time I'm not just trying to get the friendship of your clan, but only after gaining the friendship of your clan can I get the benefits that satisfy me! ”
"I don't know if you've heard of the San Diego in Pomside de Leon?"
Although the mermaids are of an alien race, they still have heard of the famous Santiago - the top warship sent by Spain to find the new world!
So the beautiful woman replied in a deep voice, "Of course I know about the famous San Diego and its captain, Ponside de Leon, but what do they have to do with it? ”
"Huh!" Ye Feng chuckled and said, "It's not just a relationship, it's a big relationship!" ”
"Since you've heard of them, you should have heard of the legends about them, right?"
The beautiful woman nodded and said, "That's right, I did hear about it, it is rumored that Captain Ponsed Leon of the Santiago was sent by the King of Spain to find a new world, and later I heard that they did find a new world, and it is rumored that they brought back a huge amount of wealth from the new world!" ”
"Because of this huge wealth, it caused Ponside de Leon to rebel against the king of Spain, and disappeared into the Caribbean with a huge amount of wealth, and no one knows their whereabouts again!"
"But what does this have to do with you, and what does it have to do with this mission?"
"What if I say ......," Nightblanc said with a sudden smile, "what if I say that Captain Ponside Leon didn't mutiny, but was wrecked here because of the storm?" ”
"For many years, because of your people, there were basically no humans set foot here, so people didn't know that the original San Diego sank on the island of Whitehat Bay!"
"So, this is also an important reason why I want to gain the friendship of your people, because without this prerequisite, then even if we sneak up on the island and obtain the huge wealth that Captain Ponside Leon has obtained from the New World, it is impossible to leave this vast sea safely under your inspection!"
After hearing Ye Feng's words, the doubts in the beautiful woman's heart were instantly relieved, because it was impossible to suddenly make up something like this now, so the credibility of Ye Feng's words was undoubtedly very high. Flash Dance.
And this is a good explanation of why Nightblanc would take such a big risk for the mermaids, who are claimed to be the descendants of dark creatures by humans, so helpful!
Thinking of this, most of the doubts in the beautiful woman's heart were immediately removed, and then a rare smile appeared on her cold face, "So respectful human captain, do you need any help from our clan next?" ”
Nightblade nodded, "I need a mermaid who is familiar with the waters around the island, and I need a beach for me to land smoothly." ”
"There's no problem with that!" The beautiful woman agreed without thinking, and then, after confirming that Yefeng had no other requests, she resolutely returned to the sea.
It didn't take long for a blonde mermaid to emerge from the bottom of the sea, and with the Night Blade, they circled north along the coastline of Whitehat Bay from their current position.
At this time, because the sky was getting darker, in order to prevent the lights on the battleship from attracting the attention of the enemy, the swift Tempest could only reduce its speed to seven or eight knots.
At this moment, Ye Feng suddenly noticed a bright light suddenly flashing on the dark island in the distance, and through the telescope, he found that this strong light was shining from the lighthouse near the shoreline.
The principle is to create a huge flame by igniting a tank full of whale oil, and then using the principle of a lens to concentrate the scattered flames in one direction.
In this way, it can be used as a flashlight and can see the situation from several nautical miles away.
And if it is simply ignited whale oil, then the fire generated is at most a lookout to see the situation within a hundred meters.
"Damn it!"
Nightblade cursed under his breath, and then immediately ordered the helmsman to sail in the opposite direction of the light, and only then circled back to the course when he was out of range of the light.
In just a dozen nautical miles, Yefeng and they sailed for more than an hour!
As the Tempest approached the shore, the sailors threw their heavy anchors into the sea, and in a few moments the slow hull of the ship gradually stopped.
Then, a dozen or so pirates with better water skills jumped into the dark sea with a thud, and they all had a strange rope tied to their bodies with the thickness of an arm!
After a few moments, the cables around the deck suddenly straightened.
Seeing this situation, Ye Feng immediately ordered the pirates who landed to land first on a monorail, generally speaking, a monorail can only carry a dozen people at most, but because it is only a few dozen meters away from the coast at this time, the two monorails on the Tempest are more than 60 pirates!
It can be clearly seen that the draft of the monorail sailing boat has dropped significantly because of its overweight, and at this time, as long as a slightly larger wave hits, it will cause the monorail to capsize and sink.
Fortunately, at this time, Yefeng and they have the help of mermaids, so not to mention big waves, even small waves have not been touched.
After nearly ten minutes, the sailboat, which had been standing still, suddenly started slowly, but its speed was the same as that of the old man's walking, not slow!
If you convert it into data, then the speed of the Hurricane at this time will not exceed 3 knots at most!
What is the concept of a speed of 3 knots, that is, going with the tide will also make the speed of the ship more than 5 knots.
It was only a few dozen meters away, so although the speed of the Tempest was less than 3 knots at this time, it only took a few minutes to reach the shore.
At this time, it can be clearly seen that the reason why the Tempest was able to sail even though it sank its anchor to the bottom of the sea was because nearly 100 pirates had ropes to pull the Tempest over little by little.
The reason for such a troublesome method in such a short distance is that once the battleship is heading for the coast at a speed of more than ten knots, you must know that the battleship does not have the braking function of a car, and the only way to stop the battleship is to slow down.
Not to mention that the water level on the coast is very shallow, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the unfortunate fate of the battleship running aground!
Therefore, when ships dock at the port, they stay on the edge of the pier within a few tens to 100 meters from the coast.
The wharf, also known as the ferry, is a long causeway that extends from the shore into the water, or it may just be a row of stairs that extend into the water from the shore.
The reason why Night Feng took such trouble to dock the battleship to the shore this time was because in order to successfully land the twelve-pounder gun, it was necessary to dock the battleship to the shore and then use roller skating to drag the heavy gun onto the land.
As for the use of a monorail for consignment, it is simply impossible to think about it, because no matter how simple a monorail is, it will take more than two sailors to control it, and a twelve-pound gun will weigh as much as dozens of heavily armed pirates.
And once the sailboat unfortunately capsizes, with the manpower of the night front at this time, he wants to salvage the cannon weighing several tons from the bottom of the sea, hehehe!
It is precisely because of this that he would rather take trouble and ensure that the artillery can land smoothly and safely, because this is a great weapon against the navy!
