"It's impossible to ——!"

Victor's left fingertips, lying on the deck, were no more than a centimeter away from the swift sword, but the body of the heroic captain suddenly froze.

The fact that the excessively young captain behind him turned out to be also a peak knight seemed to surprise him even more than being defeated and captured.

The best and most proud aspect of his life was ruthlessly crushed, and the psychological defense line was finally broken, and he completely gave up resistance.

Ai Wen didn't pay attention to his thoughts, with the "data vision" monitoring function of the body, and even the slightest attribute change can be completely controlled by Ai Wen, his control over the body is not inferior to any peak knight in the world.

After getting Gehr's experience, the degree of physical liberation has improved extremely quickly!

What's more, after taking the "Holy Baptism Pool Water" to obtain a perfect foundation, his own physical fitness is already far above that of this enemy captain.

Fluttering Ridge –

At this time, a flock of white seagulls flew out of the porthole of the opposing "Dolphin" expedition ship, mostly holding a piece of silver ore in their paws.

Knock knock...

In a few moments already a small pile was piled up on the deck of the "Storm Horn".

It was a sample of silver ore collected by a geology on board.

"Ha, Mr. Victor, please tell me, what are these things, is the temple you found the 'God of Silver Mines'?"

"Whew-"

With a sneer, Victor twisted his head, ignoring Aven's words.

He had come to terms with his defeat, but it was impossible for him to betray the king.

"Come, come, who, take care of a gentleman. ”

Evan waved his hand, and immediately a group of wolf-like naval soldiers dragged Victor to the mast, and several recognized interrogators on the ship swarmed up.

Smack...

"Uh..."

But.

Even after being put on the "transcendent shackles" of the Alchemy School's specialty, and after a round of torture that was difficult to describe, the captain still kept his head and said nothing.

Willpower and loyalty are tenacious.

"Every country has warriors! Forget it, let's take it first. ”

Just because it's normal to have a warrior doesn't mean everyone on this boat is a warrior.

Subsequently.

Boom, boom, boom....

The "Storm Horn" fired only a few shots to intimidate.

It didn't take much effort to take down the "Dolphin", which lost its captain and first mate.

The soldiers interrogated the personnel of the expedition ship separately, and this time they easily got the information they wanted to know.

In particular, there was also an exploration scholar who was obviously not a soldier, and as a key person, he had just begun to interrogate, and he told everything he knew like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

"Not just the northern part of the New World, but the whole of the New World, may be an unprecedented silver mine.

The estimated reserves are 25,000 tons!

Even in the corner of the colonies between Atlan and Sak, even the closest colony to Tulip will not be more than 1,000 kilometers away in a straight line!"

Hearing this exciting news, Evan and the officers on the ship looked at each other.

Followed by.

"We've done a great job!"

"It's rich! This could be the world's number one silver mine!"

“......”

The officers were gossiping about it, and the common idea was that it might be a huge credit and unimaginably large wealth.

"This is clearly going to change the sky!"

With the sanity of a wizard, Milan, who stood beside Aven, had not a good idea, but a series of problems that might arise behind this silver mine.

"By the way, I heard that this silver mine was first discovered by the 'Dutch Banking Group'.

It's just that I don't have the strength to eat it, so I made a deal with our King Majesty. He gave us a chart showing the location of the island of Potosí.

It's just that the news somehow leaked out in the end, otherwise I would have started further prospecting work now. ”

Later, the exploration experts told them exactly what they had heard from the three expedition leaders.

Evan is equally aware of the difficulty of the problem.

Let's see who parties are involved in this matter?

The Dutch banking syndicate is the starting point of it all, but it is difficult to say exactly what role it will play in this matter.

Cyrius, the domineering power of the sea, declared that silver and gold were the blood of the kingdom. At present, it actually occupies most of the proven precious metal bonanza in the New World.

Atlan and Sack are both top in the second echelon, and they also occupy a good position.

Although I have also gotten the news now, how can it be so simple to want to take a bite of that piece of fat?

And as the situation expands, that silver mine is a maelstrom capable of engulfing all the forces of the New World, whether you like it or not!

"We returned to 'Fort Dilborne' as fast as we could, and the impact of this kind of thing was beyond our limits. It's better to report it and let the commander of the garrison, Lieutenant General Gustav, give them a headache. ”

Soon all the Cyrius on the expedition ship had been transferred to the Stormhorn.

In order to prevent others from finding out about him, Aven sent several crew members with good water skills to dive into the water to completely scuttle the "Dolphin" expedition ship, which was already struggling to survive.

By the way, a bunch of seriously wounded Cylius who were seriously injured in the naval battle, and it was clear that they were no longer saved or had a huge cost of treatment, were also thrown away.

Not to mention whether they can survive the long journey, even if this kind of person is brought back, the base higher-ups will not choose to treat it. On this sea, things are so cruel.

simply used them to create the illusion that the "Dolphin" accidentally capsized in this sea area, and it has nothing to do with any outsiders.

"Milan!"

"Leave it to me!"

Milan, who had long cooperated with the tacit understanding, took out the transparent crystal ball he carried with him.

The fingertips kept drawing on the surface of the crystal ball, and the words were in his mouth, and soon a faint stream of pure white that could only be detected in the spiritual vision spread to the entire warship.

【Witchcraft: Divination Countermeasures】

The unique sorcery of this "school of prophecy" has smoothed out all traces of this warship in the spiritual world for an hour before and after.

Unless a great wizard with a power far beyond Milan's prophecy expertise, it is almost impossible to find evidence that the "Stormhorn" once appeared here through prophecy.

Subsequently, the "Storm Horn" rode the prevailing northeast trade winds and sailed all the way south, and did not even care about the last patrol task that was not far away.

On the ship, Evan gave another order:

"Cancel all vacations, enter a state of combat readiness, and seize the time to improve your strength!

In particular, the ability to handle the artillery and the combat effectiveness of the individual must be adjusted to the best condition in a short period of time.

We may be running out of time. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

After being reminded by Evan and Milan, the officers gradually realized the seriousness of the matter and responded solemnly.

"Can't wait any longer!"

Turning back to look at the north, Ai Wen could feel that a huge storm had begun to brew, and if his small body was accidentally swept into it, it was likely to end up with no bones left!

Even with the fact that Even is now commanding a battleship, he is already a peak knight's strength, and he does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to survive this storm intact.

The benefits are too big and too big for any force to fight with all their might.

Therefore, for the "Silver War" that may come at any time, the promotion of official wizards has been urgent!!

.......

Huhuhuhu-

It takes about 15 days to sail south from the northernmost point of the colony, without stops, at the speed of a normal merchant ship, or about 12 days even at the speed of the Cape Storm.

So with such a secret on the way back, you can imagine how worried they are when they realize the seriousness of the matter.

As the navy of the dignified kingdom, they had never been so timid on their own turf.

Duration.

Evan temporarily put aside the sorcery research and physical liberation training that had come to the pass, and personally guarded the peak knight Victor.

Even with the "transcendent shackles" on his body, Evan is not at ease.

Because alchemy props are dead, but people are alive, if a peak knight is allowed to escape, no one on this ship can suppress him.

If this guy runs away, not only will he not eat the fish, but he will get fishy. It is quite possible that Cyrius will turn his attention to Pharytis, and when the attitude of the higher echelons is not clear, it is very likely that this is not a merit but an excess.

At the same time, his seabird scouting network was also released from afar, keeping an eye out for everything on the road.

"It's useless, even if you know the news of the silver mine?

This sea belongs to Cyrius, and it was!

Aside from the initial routine torture, Evan didn't abuse the peak knight much, and although he was in heavy chains, he was always kept in his captain's room.

At this time, with the recovery ability of the peak knight, his sword wounds and torture whip marks have been restored, and Aven once again feels his infinite loyalty and confidence in Syrius.

In fact, Evan also admits the dominance of Syrius from the bottom of his heart.

It was only after leaving the "comfortable" homeland and coming to the New World that Evan realized how powerful the kingdom of Cyrius was.

Great Wall fortresses have been built on the world's most proven shipping routes, and the best ports, trade hubs and maritime landmarks have been occupied.

This is the truth of the Great Voyage, and the articles on the sea are done on land.

Eastern Front (Southern Continental) Peacock Islands... Antana Strait), the Western Front (the Soviet Islands in the Black Sea...). Newland... Explore the bridgehead of the Broken Star Sea, Torch Cape), Cylius spent two hundred years one step at a time, using hundreds of large and small bastions to defend his maritime supremacy.

No other country has reached the level of Hirius.

But.

"Heh, no one will be the protagonist forever, not the Holy Lothar Empire, which once ruled the entire Source Continent, and of course not Sylius.

Mr. Victor, think carefully about your own situation, your attitude will make it very difficult for the Kingdom Navy to receive you. It's not good for you...."

"Goo-goo..."

Bess interrupted Evan with a sudden reminder.

Through the seabirds at the forefront of the reconnaissance network, he was amazed to see a fleet of three battleships and five cruisers, passing by only about 120 kilometers in a straight line from him.

Even from this distance, the seabirds could only see the flaming banner belonging to Syrius.

That's the reinforcement of the colony of Cyrius!

Apparently the prelude to the storm came sooner than many expected!

And Evan and the others are now three days away from reaching Fort Dilborne.
