Chapter 32: The Reward Order (2nd Watch)

The cruise was uneventful, and after more than half a month at sea, the Silver Wing returned to the Gabrad military port.

The power of the sail warship is only one kind of wind power, and the speed is difficult to guarantee, and the offshore cruise is already a task that takes less time and has a relatively high safety factor.

According to the veteran crew, if you go on an ocean-going escort mission, such as going to the New World, it is very normal to go for a few months. Of course, that was a task that could only be undertaken by a battleship of at least level 4 or above, and the Silver Wing was no longer qualified.

After disembarking from the ship, the rest of the crew went to relax, while Evan and Gary returned to their seaside lodgings, ready to continue their practice. They can see that more important than the transcendent inheritance is human self-control, and that if you want to appear in front of others, you have to endure hardships behind your back.

Just as the two of them had just worked together to clean up the room that had not been inhabited for more than half a month, a sailor who had stayed on the ship came to report the news, panting and shouting: "Your Excellency, there is an urgent mission, the captain has issued a summoning order, and all personnel will return to the ship immediately." ”

"Okay, we got it. ”

Back on the Silverwing, seeing that First Officer Perry was working overtime to replenish the lost supplies for the Silverwing, Evan said hello and went straight to the captain's room.

"One-Eyed Becky, a reward of 1,000 Golden Lions!!"

"Is this guy so arrogant, how dare he sink a warship?"

"It is said that he is the deputy leader of the Sharktooth Pirate Regiment, and he already has the combat power of a senior knight. ”

By the time Evan arrived at the captain's quarters, the officers on the Silver Wing had already gathered around, discussing the heat.

On the desk in the middle was a bounty order that had just been brought back from fleet command, as well as a simple piece of information about the wanted criminal.

Seeing the amount of the bounty order, not only Aiwen, but also a group of officers were red-eyed.

What is the concept of a thousand golden lions?

It is almost equivalent to a naval soldier's salary accumulated for a hundred years without eating or drinking, which is equivalent to ten high-quality war horses, and equivalent to one-fifth of a sixth-class dhow fast sailing ship.

And this money is distributed in full directly by the command of the Third Fleet, and is not subject to the rules for the distribution of loot. Whoever kills this guy will belong to whoever this thousand golden lions belong to!

Add to that the possible capture after the fight against pirates, and everyone will be able to eat with a mouthful of oil at once.

Evan was also taken aback, what kind of guy is worth so much money, and said hello to Uncle Gell and his colleagues, picked up the information on the table and looked at it.

What kind of shark-tooth pirate group's identity as the deputy head of the pirate group is not in his eyes, and what pirate force on the sea can be stronger than the navies of various countries? The terrorist forces that ordinary people dare not provoke are all younger brothers in front of the kingdom's navy.

However, the exact information shows that "One-Eyed" Becky himself has an extraordinary rank of senior official knight, and has a record of killing powerhouses of the same level. Not long ago, his pirate ship had sunk a Navy Tier 6 communications ship in a head-to-head battle.

This had to make Evan marvel at his madness and strength.

In fact, it is not without pirates who dare to confront the navy, and many of the pirates who have crossed the seas have a record of sinking warships.

But there are prerequisites.

First, you must have a strong strength that even the navy fears, and weigh whether it is worth it to hunt you down all over the sea? This strength must be at least the same as that of the third order and the great knight level; second, don't let others see it, don't be smug and spread it everywhere, and don't make a fuss to the point that everyone knows about it.

However, although this guy named "One-Eyed" Becky already has the strength of the suspected knight stage, which is beyond the reach of most navies, it is far from reaching the level of official fear.

After sinking the warship, he didn't immediately flee and continued to roam in the jurisdiction of the Third Fleet, which is simply slapping the officers and men of the Third Fleet in the face.

Evan doesn't think this guy will be able to get away with it for long, now it's up to whose luck can catch his tail, and when the warship is encircled, unless he can go to the sky and into the sea, the result will be doomed.

"Your Excellency, resupply is complete!"

After a while, First Officer Perry returned, reporting to Captain Gehr that the supplies had been prepared and that the crew had rushed back.

Glancing at the eager eyes of everyone present, Gehr nodded his head and waved his hand: "Set sail!" According to the command command, we will go to the vicinity of Tarot Island to join the Warrior and hunt down the One-Eyed Becky together.

Ladies and gentlemen, the majesty of the navy cannot be defiled, and it will be washed away with the blood of the one-eyed Becky!"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Captain!"

......

On the blue sea, the waves were not strong and the wind was beautiful, and two fifth-class cruisers of similar size were moving in a cruising formation, one right in front and one in the left behind.

"Chirp... Chirp..."

The chirping of seabirds is not as pleasant as it used to be, but rather a little irritating.

The two warships, the Silverwing and the Warrior, have been searching the sea for eight days in pursuit of Becky.

Not to mention the one-eyed Becky, even the other little pirates haven't even seen a single hair, and the well-informed pirates have long been scared away by the big battle caused by the Third Fleet.

It can be said that most of the warships that do not have an urgent mission have joined the pursuit team, and the strength and number of them are rare in the past decade.

If it weren't for the constant arrival of the latest information from the Rapid Communications Ship and the Tern confirming that Becky did not come ashore or leave the territory of the Third Fleet, the crowd would have thought he had slipped away long ago.

And now, the officers and men on both the Silver Wing and the Warrior are gradually becoming a little anxious, such a large-scale blockade of the sea area, even with the power of the Third Fleet, can not continue indefinitely, the longer the time drags on, the greater the possibility that everyone will get nothing in the end.

The ocean is so vast for humans that even just trying to find this guy in this small area on the western shore of the Black Sea is not much better than looking for a needle in a haystack.

Aiwen's mentality is very good, even if he doesn't find the goal, it can be regarded as an experience.

It's just that because he may encounter sudden battles at any time during this time, his special training has been temporarily postponed, and Evan has basically spent this time under the mast.

Evan's sail control skills have been learned very quickly, to the point where he can give a boost to Jab, the pole chief, and now he is nothing more than experience as a qualified pole commander.

It has been more than a month since he boarded the ship, and Evan has fully adapted to the life on the ship at this time, and now he feels like a fish in water.

He even thought to himself, "I was born to be a man who conquered the sea, hehe." ”

Standing on the lookout, looking around in the slightly salty sea breeze, with the help of a digital vision, he will not miss a single clue.

"Huh, the Warrior gave the signal?"

At this time, Evan keenly noticed the flag of the Warrior on the opposite side, and deciphered it, the other party knew that there was a small island with fresh water resources in front of him, and invited the Silver Wing to replenish the fresh water.

Every drop of fresh water on board a sea vessel is a precious resource, because freshwater stored for a long time will deteriorate and stink. Therefore, after going to sea for a period of time, seafarers will use sugar cane wine, which is rum that appears in many Western novels, instead of fresh water, and it is difficult for people living on land to experience the lack of water on the ship.

As a part-time captain's herald, Evan immediately slipped off the mast to report to Gehr.

A moment later, with the flags waving aboard the Silverwing, the two battleships turned around in unison and headed for the nameless island.

......

"The scenery of this small island is very good, and if you are offshore, you will probably want to come and spend your vacation. ”

With sunshine, white sand beaches, and a few beautiful coconut trees, Aven took advantage of the first mate to organize the sailors to replenish fresh water, and he sat in a small boat leisurely, and hung a hook near the island to catch fish.

"Yo, another hook!"

I have to say that in this kind of inaccessible place, the fish have never seen such a thing as a fish hook, and it is simply cute. Even though Ai Wen's fishing level is average, he has harvested two buckets full of unnamed big fish in a short period of time.

Sailors of this era were also too lazy to name all kinds of strange sea fish, which was what scholars should do, and in their eyes there were only two kinds of animals in the sea, the difference between what could be eaten and what could not be eaten.

Returning the fish to the boat, and seeing that the sailors' work was not finished, Evan ran directly to the mouth of the island's freshwater river and took a freshwater bath.

"Cool!"

When on the ship, even if the conditions of the officers were better, it was a little unbearable for Evan to not be able to bathe often, and he seized the opportunity and naturally didn't want to let it go.

Rubbing his hair back to the boat, the chef was cooking a barbecue on the deck, the ingredients were the sea fish that Evan had brought back, the various seashells that the crew had found on the beach, the curled meats in the storeroom, and the smoke rising from the curling smoke, which made people look very appetizing.

Life at sea is hard, and seafarers have long learned to have fun in the midst of hardship, and partying and good food are just one of them.

Ai Wen looked a little eager to try, the single man who has been in his two lives has honed his good cooking skills, and he has some itchy skills.

Scoop up a big fish that looks like a tuna but has red stripes on its body from the bucket of fish, pick up the kitchen knife on the side and play with a knife flower casually, brush it twice to turn this big fish into two large pieces of crystal clear and delicious fish meat.

The kitchen knife in his hand turned into a silver light, just like the effect in the anime, and pieces of fish fillets as shiny and thin as cicada wings flew out automatically and landed on the clean dinner plate that had been prepared next to him.

Now Ai Wen is much stronger than the top chef in his previous life in the use of swords, and he is precise and fast, pleasing to the eye.

Such dazzling knife skills quickly surrounded a group of people around Ai Wen, most of whom were high-status crew members on the ship, and the lowest level was irreplaceable technical work.

"This kid, you have too many ideas, right?" Ger and Ewen are not the type of sword idiots who regard swordsmanship as their life, and they don't think there's anything wrong with Aven using swordsmanship in this kind of place.

It's just that I knew that he had invented the vegetable "bean sprouts", and taught the ship's doctor several foods and drinks to prevent diseases, and now he has developed a new way to eat this sea fish, I really can't understand where he got so many wonderful ideas.

After slicing the fish fillet, Ai Wen used the ingredients at hand to mix a sauce, one dip and one taste, although it was less flavorful than the dipping sauce used in the previous life, but the fresh fish that had just been fished out of the sea seemed to come alive in the mouth, and it had made up for all the lack of taste.

"Not bad, fresh!"
