Chapter 1: Wind and Rain

The sea was swept by strong winds and huge waves, and there were eight large sea ships scattered on the sea surface for tens of nautical miles, all of which were more than 40 meters long, and three of them were even the main warships with a length of about 50 meters.

However, these large sea vessels are like toys in the huge waves, lifted high by the waves, and then quickly fall to the bottom, with a drop of more than ten meters, making every wave a test of life and death for every ship.

The sky was pitch black, and the occasional lightning bolt that pierced the sky lit up the frenzied sea...... Only God knows, it's noon.

All the sailors hid below deck, and in such bad weather, they had to resign themselves to fate, and those who dared to go on deck had already died in the sea.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the storm, the experienced fleet commander Sir Barron had already ordered all the ships to lower their sails.

The flagship of this fleet is a second-class warship with a total length of 58 meters, which is enough to serve as a flagship even in the Imperial Navy.

The battleship named Warrior is the pride of the Vogostein family, is Andrey? The life's work of Count Fergostein's father.

The Fergustan family is a country on the west coast of the Salen continent, a count's family with a rich territory in the southeast of the Suss Kingdom, and is a force to be reckoned with in the political power of the Suss Kingdom.

The current count of the family, Andrei? Fergostein was a brilliant general who played a role in the wars between the Suss Kingdom and the Sutton Empire in the north.

However, individual bravery cannot make up for the decay of the country and the gap in national strength.

In order to keep their throne, after a series of political struggles, Fergostein and some small and medium-sized nobles in the Suss Kingdom were called victims of the defeat in the war.

Unwilling to sit still, Count André took with him three warships loyal to him and five large armed merchant ships of the family, carrying all the wealth of the family and all the knights and soldiers who remained loyal to the family. Set sail and leave the continent of Salen to sail eastward in search of the legendary continent of the East.

At this time, the fleet had been at sea for almost three months, and the vegetables that were magically kept fresh had been eaten half a month ago. The stored fresh water has stinked and there is not much left, more than half of the entire fleet has fallen ill, almost every ship, every day someone is dying, and everyone has fallen into despair.

The storm has pushed everyone to the point of despair, everyone has given up their efforts, even Count Andrei, who has the title of the Eagle of Seuss, has begun to say his final prayers to the goddess Offa.

But this time. In a cabin on the second floor of the Warrior's flagship, several people were talking about something in a calm whisper, as if they didn't care about the storm outside the window at all.

These people chose the backshear army squad of Count Andrei's camp.

The reason why they are so calm is because they are sure that space will not let them die in the sea before the mission has even begun.

Bai Qi's identity as an actor in this space? The nephew of Count Fergostein and a squadron leader in the Vogostein Family Guard.

The Captain is one of the bodyguards of the Bishop of the Radiant Holy See in the Earldom of Vogostein.

Adrian is a scout leader in the Fergostein family's intelligence organization, Nightingale.

Barian and Qin Qing are the mages in the Vogostein family's mage group.

Heinrich was a squad leader under Bai Qi.

In fact, Bai Qi and a few people landed on this bumpy ship for less than an hour. A few people had just sorted out the mission data that the system was stuffed into their brains at the beginning of the mission, and they were sharing information.

Judging from the task information given by the system. The strength of this Count Andrei is really not weak.

First of all, these eight battleships, three of which were the three capital battleships that André had taken from the royal fleet of Seuss when he was betrayed and abandoned by the king, of which the Warrior was a second-class battleship, the other two were Flying, and the Varta was a third-class battleship.

It is said that the battleship Warrior was originally the flagship of the fleet of the Vogostein family. When the war was in crisis, Andrei donated his family's fleet to the kingdom.

On the basis of the Vogostein fleet, the kingdom of Seuss integrated the battered Royal Third and Fourth Fleets, reorganized the Royal Fifth Fleet, and handed over the position of fleet commander to Count Andrei, who had already achieved great success.

Count André did not disappoint. He led the Fifth Fleet to wipe out the Third Fleet of the Sutton Empire, severely damaged the Second Fleet of the Sutton Empire, and even killed Prince Anthony, the second in line to the throne of the Sutton Empire, in the war.

However, his personal prowess did not bring glory to Andrei, but instead brought disaster to his family, and finally the disgraceful defeat of the kingdom of Seuss, and Andrei became a victim of politics and the hatred of Emperor Sutton.

But don't underestimate the second-class and third-class warships, in fact, in the Salon continent, the third-level battleships are the main warships of various countries, the second-class battleships are already the flagships of various fleets, and the first-class warships only some maritime powers will have one or two, such warships often belong to strategic forces.

The Warrior was fifty-eight meters long, had a displacement of nearly 800 tons, and was staffed by 200 sailors, in addition to 200 sailors who specialized in broadside warfare.

The Flying, forty-nine meters long, with one hundred and fifty sailors and one hundred and fifty sailors.

The Varta, fifty meters long, with one hundred and fifty sailors, with one hundred and fifty sailors

Now on these three warships, in addition to sailors and sailors, there are also hundreds of Vogostein Knights and Family Guards.

In addition to these three warships, Andrei also took with him all the large armed merchant ships in the family caravan that could cross the ocean, these merchant ships were between forty and forty-five meters long, although the length was not as good as that of the warships, but the tonnage of the armed merchant ships for the purpose of carrying goods was no worse than that of the third class warships.

Generally speaking, armed merchant ships will be relatively thin in terms of sailors in order to reserve the deadweight for cargo, and in general, even large merchant ships of the same tonnage will have only half the number of sailors.

However, in order to have the strength to gain a firm foothold after finding the legendary Eastern Continent, Andre recruited a group of warriors and talents who were willing to follow the Andrei family in the territory before setting off.

Today, these five armed merchant ships, in addition to sailors, each ship is stuffed with more than 200 soldiers, craftsmen, scholars, and village heads......

According to the understanding of Bai Qi and the three of them, there were 500 sailors and 900 sailors under Andre, about 800 knights and family guards, and about 600 civilians such as craftsmen, zhuangtou, and scholars...... (To be continued......)
