Blue sky and blue sea, cloudless, looking down from the sky, the Baltic Sea is like a large piece of transparent crystal, which is inlaid with a smart shuttle silverback sea fish. The clear waters make the Vasa seem to float in the void, backed only by a small shadow of the ship at the very bottom of the water.

With his left foot in front and his right foot behind, Xu Mo stepped on the mast on the top of the bow of the Vaasa, shielded the sunlight with his palms, and looked up at the junction of the sea and sky. The open blue admiral's uniform was hunted by the sea breeze, revealing a bronzed chest and exposed abdominal muscles, as hard as iron as a knife and axe.

The former Chinese junior civil servant, after experiencing so much life and death experience, has completely transformed into a real warrior and man.

The mast under Xu Mo's feet was originally equipped with copper ramming angles, but now, it has been replaced by the master shipbuilder Henrik with a plump statue of Medusa.

This statue of Medusa looks like gold but not gold, like iron but not iron, and the whole body is blue. A trident was clenched in both hands, crossed across his chest, and the tail of the lower body was tightly wound around the mast in the bow of the ship. A snake's hair flew all over the sky, and it seemed to be choosing people to eat. From a distance, the lifelike eyes seem to slide with a ray of colorful light, but if you look closely, you don't feel anything unusual.

However, in the eyes of the reincarnators on the Vasa, this Medusa bow statue is different. I saw a faint milky white halo all over its body, spreading along the bow to the stern, enveloping the entire Vaasa. If Xu Mo and the others opened the real-time video screen in the soul seal, they would be able to query the specific information of this Medusa ship's bow.

"Medusa Ship's Bow: A Treasure of the Nautical World. After equipping the Vasa, the Medusa Bow has lost its function as a transfer prop, and the laws of the world are fused with the Vasa battleship. This Medusa bow statue is capable of intimidating the non-sapient creatures of the sea, keeping them away from warships. The laws of water and petrification increase the speed of ships by 15% and reduce shelling damage by 10%. ”

"Your Excellency the Admiral!" An elegant voice came from behind Xu Mo.

"Hehe, Tie Lilie, are you still used to these days?" Xu Mo turned his head to look and found that his first mate was standing not far behind him with a young man dressed as an officer.

"The sea is my bed, and I sleep more comfortably on a boat than in a tavern!" Tie Lilie smiled and nodded.

"Looking for me?" Xu Mo looked at Tie Lilie's expression, and his heart moved, "Come up and talk about it!" ”

"No, you better come down first!" Tie Lilie glanced at the mast on the bow of the ship and shook his head, "That place is too dangerous, I don't think you should be standing there either, you will be a bad example for the other deck sailors!" ”

"Yes, my first mate!" Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, and jumped off the deck from the bow of the ship with a wry smile, "Now you can talk about it!" ”

"Well, we're almost entering the Øresund in Denmark! Although Denmark is not at war with us right now, in the other side's waters, I think it is still necessary to put it on alert to three levels to prevent accidents. Tie Lilie's elegant face showed a hint of seriousness.

"You're right, immediately ring the alarm, the whole ship will enter the third level of alert, and the lookout will be doubled!" Xu Mo was startled, and immediately gave orders to several deck sailors, then turned his head with a pleasant face, and said to the young man with an elegant demeanor, "Tie Lilie, you are now the first mate of the Vasa, except for the declaration of war order, other orders do not need to go through me. If you feel that something is wrong on the sea, you can give orders to the sailors first, and then tell me! ”

"But...... All right! Tie Lilie was slightly stunned, and then happily agreed.

He didn't have so much power on Admiral Hedlam's warship, and he didn't need to be reminded of this kind of thing, Tie Lilie hadn't adapted to his new role as first mate for the time being.

"Barron, what about you, what's the matter?" Seeing Tie Lilie leaving, Xu Mo turned his head to another young officer and asked.

"Lord Alfred, we have a couple of our companions who are very seasick, I think...... I want them to disembark at the next port! Barron hesitated, but spoke.

Barron is the captain of the Musketeers, whose full name is Barron Larson, and is a distant relative of the Larson family. If Xu Mo really married that Miss Lilian, he would be a generation younger than Barron in terms of family seniority. It was precisely because of this that several seasick members of the musket team asked him to ask Xu Mo.

"Barron, how does the Swedish Army deal with deserters?" Xu Mo frowned and was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at Barron indifferently.

"Deserters? No, no, no, Lord Alfred, you are mistaken! The soldiers of the musketeers are all Viking warriors and will never be deserters, and those people just can't stand the seasickness! Barron was shocked, the crime of desertion was too great, and he must not let his comrades-in-arms, who shared life and death, wear such a big hat.

"Barron, you want to call me Admiral on the ship, when you were in the Army, did you always use the honorific title of nobility to address your superiors?" Xu Mo glanced coldly at the young officer, "You may think that Count Larson sent you here just as my personal guard. Perhaps this was the case in Uppsala. However, when you get on the Vasa, you are already part of the Royal Swedish Navy. ”

"This ...... This ...... "The change from the Private Guard to the Royal Navy was quite large, and Barron's mind suddenly turned a little bit round.

"The Navy, unlike the Army, as a sailor is not only brave in battle, but also scrubs the decks and cleans the cabins. But one-third of the privateering proceeds of the navy also belonged to all the members of the warship, and the lucrative remuneration was not comparable to that of the army soldiers. Xu Mo said lightly.

"And you are only court-martialed on the ship, and not only do you not have to do chores, but you are also assigned a higher income for privateering than ordinary sailors. If this does not overcome the little seasickness, for the sake of Count Larson, I can order that you be relieved of your military duties and that you be disembarked. When I return to Uppsala, I will express my disappointment to the Count personally. ”

"We also have privateer proceeds?" Barron's eyes widened.

"Of course, I will not pay you a private salary, you are like all the seamen on the Vasa, and the proceeds of the naval battle are your dividends!" Xu Mo said lightly, "A small merchant ship, even the ship carrying goods, at least thousands of gold coins, if it is a large merchant ship, some of the value is even as high as tens of thousands of gold coins. As long as they survive a naval battle, every sailor is a little rich! ”

"Even if there is no good pay, no one in the musket team will want to bear the reputation of deserters!" The young officer bowed his head and muttered for a while, then said with a wry smile, "Your Excellency, I will try my best to convince them!" ”

"Hmm!" Hearing Barron's answer, Xu Mo finally showed a smile on his expressionless face, "If those few seasick soldiers of the musket team are really in a serious situation, remember to go to Li Ze's ship doctor, he will give you some help!" ”

Carrots and sticks, it's really good! Looking at Barron's distant back, Xu Mo, who was still expressionless just now, shook his head and sighed. After only a few days as Admiral, he began to miss the leisurely life on the Vestelos.

……

"Hey, BOSS, being a commander is really majestic!" After Barron left, Max's envious voice could be heard in the team channel.

"What's majestic!" Dinah didn't tease Xu Mo this time, and said quietly, "When we were on the Vestelos, there were no such troubles at all!" ”

"By the way, are Li Ze and Hong Jian here?" Xu Mo suddenly asked in a deep voice.

"We're here!" In the team channel, the voices of the two people were immediately heard.

"The two of you have always been together, and you should have been used as an MT combination many times by the previous team!" Xu Mo asked lightly.

"Yes, we've always been a sub-T group, even in Y-space!" Li Ze and Hong Jian quickly replied.

"Well, then listen up! During the naval battle, without my new instructions, you only need to be in charge of one person, understand? Xu Mo said solemnly.

"BOSS, what do you mean...... Let's leave the team alone? Li Ze and Hong Jian asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's what I mean, you just need to protect the Iron Rite Column, without my new instructions, you don't need to interfere in anything else!" Xu Mo nodded and replied affirmatively.

"BOSS, we know that Tie Lilie is very important, but there is no need to use a pair of sub-T combinations to protect him...... "Everyone else was shocked, there were not many people in the old K group, and Li Ze and Hong Jian were transferred to a sub-T combination, plus Xu Mo wanted to command the battleship, and Blakeney was still in Amsterdam. The only other people who could fight were two mages and a death knight, plus two Caesar and Mary, who had no actual combat power.

"No, you don't pay enough attention to the Iron Rite Column!" Xu Mo shook his head gently, "Even I just realized it...... You should have heard the conversation between Tie Lilie and me just now! ”

"Well, we all heard it!"

"If you have heard this, then who can tell me why you are not aware of the Danish threat even if a navigator who is not a warrior is aware of it?" Xu Mo asked expressionlessly.

“…… BOSS, we can't be blamed for this! In the team channel, there was silence for a while, and Serna said helplessly, "On this damn sea, we don't ...... at all"

Serna was only halfway through her sentence when she paused, as if realizing something.

"Looks like you've finally noticed! In the vast sea, only a true navigator and an experienced navigator can calculate the wind, direction and sea area position at any time without the help of measuring tools! Xu Mo said with a wry smile, "And this point is often the key to two hostile warships in the same sea area, who can detect the enemy first, and who can seize the upper hand gun position first!" ”
