CHAPTER XLVI
Claudius looked at the sharks swimming in the sea, "The ferocious tiger shark is about the same size as the largest great white shark, and twice as big as the ordinary tiger shark." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info It seems that this centurion's power ends here. "The swimming tiger sharks disappeared after half an hour, as if they had appeared so suddenly. And then no matter how much that centurion blows the conch, it's useless.
"It seems like it's only once a day, thirty minutes at a time. It seems that this thing is only useful for entertainment after the robbery of merchant ships....." Claudius shrugged his shoulders and casually gave it to the centurion, who now each of the three centurions had a magical artifact, and Claudius himself had put away the sheepskin map.
The excavation of the chute is going well, Claudius is not bad at making holes, not to mention that he has a hot flame that melts the stone to shape it, and the dragon's tooth soldiers use the wooden barrels on the ship to transport cooling water, and the chute is basically gradually taking shape in no time. Claudius used his body as a reducer, holding the ship in front of him so that it could not slide down at once, and thus sent the two ships back into the sea. Then the guy dug up a wharf by the way, a solid rock wharf with a breakwater - this was a lot of work, and it took Claudius a whole week to complete the work with the energy that he had dug the beach canal when he was a child. "Twelve meters of draft! Even the 10,000-ton ship should be able to come in! The guy looked at his results with satisfaction, and then asked if the Dragontooth soldiers would sail the ship.
As an ancient Roman legion, these dragon-toothed soldiers really don't know how to drive this kind of Galen galleon, and it may be okay to change to an oar, but a three-masted sailboat really can't do it. The problem now is that if they are trapped on this island, these elite professional soldiers will continue to weaken, and they will have to find a place to support them - at the very least, land for farming, and even better if there are farmers to feed them. And Claudius found such a place on a nautical chart. Santa Cruz Island, for this island with a typical earth-style name, Claudius also thought it was amazing, "I just don't know if I want to fight a naval battle of Santa Cruz to get this island...", the red dragon thought.
Santa Cruz Island, with an area of about 300 square kilometers, is a typical mainland island, a medium-sized island in the fragmented Phil Islands. The foundation of the island is a huge arched rock formation, which is filled with coral that has grown and died over the years, gravel carried by the waves, and guano. The island is quite gentle, with low rolling hills, with the highest point of the island being 60 meters high. The island is rich in flora, subtropical plants are very abundant, and if it weren't for the fact that this island has no minerals and is not close to the main island of the Fleish Islands, it would have become a large and densely populated island. Even so, the island has a port town and several villages connected by seaside roads and river routes, and has a population of about 3,000 people, who are largely self-sufficient in farming and fishing.
The island is also dominated by Ambori beliefs, but it is also a relatively peaceful island with the belief of the goddess of agriculture Cethia and the sun god Pero. It's just that after Claudius set his sights on them, peace was coming to an end.
The island of Santa Cruz is about a hundred kilometers further south of the unnamed island where Claudius is located, and it only takes half an hour to reach it at Claudius' speed, which is still a leisurely flight. But in the past, when he robbed food, this guy really didn't know that there were islands there, and this guy's habit was to go north......
Claudius lowered the sails of the two galleons, and then he himself put extremely thick ropes around his body and flapped his wings to pull the two galleons. Pulling a sailboat through the sea in the sky was a technical task, and Claudius was very careful to control the speed and angle, trying not to cause the ship to collide or overturn—the reason why one did not adopt the one-to-one situation was that it would be too difficult to brake and almost certainly rear-end.
I don't know how long it will take to make such a flight, and Claudius, the madwoman of Ambery, can't say if he will keep an eye out for what moths are going to happen to him. So Claudius gritted his teeth and landed very simply on the surface, "Climb on my back quickly." The action is fast and good. It can transport 20 people at a time! Just go on twelve trips like this, and hopefully nothing will happen in the meantime. "This guy scolded a few words - doing some day work for his own digging slides and stuff like that, and at the same time scolding Amberie that crazy woman don't want to make a thing happen at this time." Speaking of which, this goddess is really here to deliver treasures? Could it be that she is my long-forgotten wife? "The red dragon still has time to joke in his head, but I can't tell if the goddess will sense this kind of blasphemy.
The red dragon flies at low sea level, at most about twenty meters above the sea surface. He controlled his speed and it took about fifteen minutes to get the first Dragontooth soldiers on the beach. About six hours later, all the dragon's fangs and enough supplies were sent to the beachhead by Claudius, by which time it was already dark. Luckily, during this time, the goddess of the sea seemed to have changed her temper and turned into a gentle sea, and she didn't come to get these two former pirate ships at all. Although Claudius could be sure that the two ships on which she was a former goddess believer must have been "blessed" by the goddess, she could be positioned at any time.
Perhaps this is also due to the fact that the previous madness has drained Ambori's divine power, forcing her to rest in order to focus on resisting the erosion of the storm god Talus. Now that the Dragontooth Soldiers have landed on land, they will naturally know how to camp as elite soldiers, and they have also sent scouts overnight to scout the route. As for Claudius himself, he returned to the two boats, and now he could tow them without any scruples.
Sure enough, it took the tugboat a night, almost eight hours, to reach its destination, and the two boats collided with each other, turning into two piles of junk that were just floating on the sea and looked like a boat..... It took more than a dozen hours. Ay? Isn't that about the same time..... Never mind! Don't think about him, after all, my intellect shows me - it's only 14. Claudius laughed at himself.
But it actually saves a lot of time, one night is enough for the Dragontooth soldiers to complete their rest and recuperate, and at the same time detect enough information - even if they slowly tug the boat, they can rest on the boat, but the time to scout the information is earned. The three centurions had already made a complete battle plan, and the three centurions had already completed their march, and it should be said that it would take two to three hours to reach the village of the first destination. The Dragontooth Soldiers are preparing to get more supplies and intelligence there, and then complete the operation to take control of the island.
Claudius didn't want to join the fight, and if he did, the only thing he would gain would be charred ruins and flying ashes. This is the opposite of his purpose, so he will give this task to the Dragonfangs, after all, it was only for the Dragonfangs, his subordinates, to find a place to live.
