Whew-

Whew-

The wings swept the clouds with the air current, and the two eagles on the Indigenous Pirate side and the two formations of the Evan side, a total of six Iron Feather Warship Birds, broke through the fog and flew into the sky above the "Conch".

Almost at the same time, the "air forces" of both sides entered en masse!

There was a white mist blocking the vision before, and the sharp gaze of the "Eagle Warrior" Karawusu did not appear, except for the giant eagle he raised, there were six unusually huge warship birds in the sky!

Their appearance was clearly the result of some kind of sorcery modification, and although they were slightly smaller than their own McKinley Condor, the six of them together were definitely not to be underestimated.

Phew!

Chirp...

There was no need for the master's continued command, and the "air forces" of the two sides were already entangled in their own fighting, circling and attacking over the "Conch." In the midst of birdsong, broken feathers and blood fall from time to time.

Some of them belong to McKinley Condor, and some belong to the Frigate Bird... The battle situation is evenly matched, and even the giant eagle is slightly at a disadvantage.

The last foreign aid was canceled out, and Karausu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Suddenly.

Boom——!!!

An earth-shattering sound in the distance made his heart thump again, and a cold and biting chill penetrated into his bone marrow!

At this time, the sea seems to be trembling.

A blood-colored phantom barely maintained in the shape of an eagle pierced through the fog, and slammed into his body under the guidance of his kindred blood, along with the wizard's final command: "Vengeance !!"

"Hahaha, the pirate ship's ammunition bay has exploded!

There was an excited shout from a young voice on the ship.

This was followed by the collective cheers of the sailors.

"Hooray!"

“.....”

"Martyrdom ?!!"

Unable to even care that he was on the battlefield, the young first mate suddenly turned to look in the direction where the "Eagle Spirit" was, and at this moment his eyes seemed to have penetrated the fog.

He saw the pirate ship slowly capsizing with a fire, the sorcerer Aklava who died at the bottom of the sea with the pirate ship, the last of the people who could not escape and were approved by the spirit of the eagle, and he saw his own shattered dreams...

"What... It's all gone!"

The "Vengeance !!" wizard's command took root in his heart, and in an instant it grew into an evil tree full of thorns and venom.

Karausu's eyes instantly turned red, and the blue-black tattoos on her body writhed as if they were about to come back to life.

What are the side effects of overusing power at this moment, what is the beloved giant eagle that is already at a disadvantage, what is the dangerous situation of being in the enemy position on all sides... Nothing matters anymore.

The bone dagger in his hand crossed the shoulder bones on both sides of the back, and the blood burst out!

Thorn -

A pair of large, red-and-yellow misshapen wings tore flesh and stretched out, and the strong wind force blew all the sailors near him away.

There is no doubt that he... Out of control!

The loss of control of the "Eagle Samurai" is obviously much more terrifying than the mortals of the knight's path.

The face, which was originally handsome in the eyes of the natives, gradually deformed and elongated into a half-human, half-eagle head. The alienated joint of the right foot is folded backwards and becomes an eagle claw.

There are hollow bones under the ribs that pierce the flesh and grow out like deformed hypertrophic tissue, which is strange and disgusting.

In a very short period of time, he had become a monster, as if he had been made up of half an eagle and half a man!

Without realizing it, he withdrew his gaze into the distance, and the young "True Eagle Samurai" turned and glared at the "culprit" who had caused all this: the captain of this naval warship!

Hmmm-

The "Eagle Man" let out a hoarse high-pitched eagle cry, and raised his arms holding the bone dagger...

Bang –

Bang!

After firing three shots in a row, Ai Wen blew a mouthful of gunsmoke that did not exist at the muzzle of the "Thorn Golden Rose", and spit out: "Finish the fight!"

Bang –

The "Hawkman", whose eyes had been cut wide in his chest, fell to the ground in disbelief.

However, on the battlefield, how can you pose and play memory killing?

Karawusu didn't get sniped at the beginning of the cross-sea raid because Aven was tripped by poisonous bees, and after temporarily distancing himself from the warband, he was actually at the cost of his own life.

The kung fu of "transformation" has been seized by Ai Wen to shoot decisively, and he also rewarded the two giant eagles who were bruised in the air battle with a bullet each, and sent them to reunite with their masters.

"Milan, lift the fog!"

In fact, both Evan and Milan were ready to face an official wizard at first, but thanks to the smooth execution of the battle plan.

Except for the accidental intrusion of this indigenous mortal. They didn't confront the strange methods of the native wizard from beginning to end, cough... In fact, they don't want to see it at all.

After the explosion of the pirate ship, the number of pirates who were "lucky" to survive was very small, but then they were killed one by one by the sailors who arrived in longboats.

Because the ships of this era were all made of wood, the resistance to sinking was not bad.

Although the pirate ship was left with a large piece of charred wreckage due to the detonation of ammunition, it was still sturdy and floated on the surface of the sea until the Conch approached.

When sailors were sent aboard the wreckage to inspect it, there were no accidents. However, it is true that there are not many loot collected.

A big bang wiped out almost everything!

In this regard, Ai Wen is not distressed at all, after all, it is already a battle with zero casualties, what else can he ask for?

"Your Excellency, can this work?"

Despite the danger, Fleck led the climb to the wreck of the pirate ship and scavenged all the weapons of war, and was also the last to return. He brought back a piece of the pirate ship's charred mainsail, and part of an abstract silver eagle remained on the black sail.

It is the place where the [Eagle Soul Guardian] held by the indigenous sorcerer Akrava once lived.

"Good work, Fleck!" Encouraging the highly motivated recruits, Evan handed the canvas to Milan. Although the battle has been won, his primary concern is the life and death of the wizard Aklava, who is the captain of the pirate ship.

After a while, Milan, who was using canvas as a medium for divination, reopened his eyes and said with a smile:

"Luckily, he should have been directly affected by the explosion when the ammunition depot exploded, confirmed kill!"

"Not bad! Not bad! Victory, add dinner today!"

"Long live the Captain!"

Amid the cheers of the crew, Evan had already turned around and returned to the captain's room with Milan, took out a very old animal skin from his pocket, put it in his hand and rubbed it gently:

"The harvest of the Eagle Samurai Training Method is not bad!"

This is the battle weapon obtained from the young samurai who broke into the "Conch", because the mysterious source of this world all comes from the "Spirit Sun", and although each big 6 is blocked by the vast sea, all the words are similar.

This "Eagle Warrior Training Method" is also written in a variant of the "spiritual script".

The physical training and taming of the giant eagle were very primitive and did not take Aven seriously, but the method of using the power of animal spirits with the help of tattoos and engraving made Evan very interested.

Although it seems to have some kind of flaw, it is not necessarily a useful addition to the mortal knights.

He had just discussed with fellow wizard Milan about the possible application of the Eagle Warrior Training Method, when there was a knock on the door to the captain's room.

Boom.. Boom.. Boom..

"Come in. ”

"Report to Your Excellency Captain, our ammunition reserves are less than half, you see?"

At this time, the first mate Borg, who was in charge of the ship's logistics, knocked on the door and came in to report the loss of materials after the battle. Everything else is fine, but today's practice of dumping ammunition to the fullest extent has depleted ammunition reserves, and it is completely impossible to support another battle of the same level.

After listening to the first mate's report, Ai Wen also felt that this problem must be solved as soon as possible, so he turned his attention to Milan:

"Mr. Navigator, I remember that the closest naval base to our location was on St. Maarten, right?"

Sint Maarten.

is a naval base controlled by the Duchy of Tulip in the Alliance.

In fact, it is from this that the name "Tulip Alliance" comes from, although it is only a principality, it has a very special place in the alliance.

Because it is better to call it the "Tulip Principality" than to call it the "Tulip Cult". As the headquarters of the Black Iron Cross Church, which is shared by all the nations of the Union, the Pope is automatically crowned "Grand Duke of Tulip", both a shepherd of faith and a secular ruler.

However, the ownership of the base has been put aside for the time being.

Because the ships of this era were all made of wood, and the hull of the ship was constantly eroded by seawater and parasites during long voyages at sea, the underwater part was easily corroded. The storm baptism and the force of artillery will also loosen the structural framework of the warship, so it is necessary to dock the ship on the dock regularly for overhaul.

Otherwise, if the wood is allowed to loosen and corrode, the life of the entire ship will be reduced, and eventually it may not be able to withstand the test of the storm and capsize during a long voyage.

On the other hand, if a wooden sailboat is well-built and regularly maintained, it can easily survive 5o years.

So for a fleet, it is essential to have a sufficient number of dry docks for the regular maintenance of its own warships.

Naval bases are often built around dockyards, which provide safe berthing for fleets, rest and medical facilities for seafarers, and so on.

The Navy is also able to obtain canvas, rigging, decks, masts, guns, ammunition, food, fresh water, and personnel replenishment within the naval base, maintaining full combat effectiveness even when far from home.

Therefore, within the territorial waters of the Tulip Alliance, along the main shipping routes, there are large and small naval bases distributed like a chain of pearls, which are operated by various countries but are used jointly within the alliance.

While reducing operating costs, it also significantly expanded the combat radius of the naval forces within the alliance, and this naval base on the island of St. Maarten, of course, was also the same.

Although the Conch belongs to the Kingdom of Pharytis, it is still eligible to use it!
