The navigator is not the captain of the ship, but the rights on the ship are often even more than the captain, because the navigator needs to be responsible for the course and safety of the ship, and the decisions in this regard are mostly made directly by the navigator, so, there is a popular saying at sea, a ship can even have no captain, but it cannot be without a navigator!

But this is not entirely the case, the captain, the first mate, the second officer, the third officer, the navigator, these five positions are continuous, for example, the captain is the main orderer, but it is not irreplaceable, if the captain dies, then the first mate will replace the captain, if the captain and the first mate are both killed, the second officer will replace the captain, and so on, the third officer can also replace the captain, and even in the case of no choice, the navigator can also replace the captain.

There is a division of labor in these positions, of course, the navigator is mainly responsible for the course and safety, the first officer is in charge of the command handover, the second officer is in charge of the pilot equipment, the third officer is in charge of the sailor, etc., but there is one thing in common, that is, the knowledge and experience of navigation are extremely rich, even if they lose other commanders, they have the ability to ensure that the ship continues to sail.

Therefore, the captain is not irreplaceable, and the navigator is not irreplaceable, the captain, first mate, second officer, and third mate all have relevant sailing experience and nautical knowledge, even if there is an accident and the ship loses the navigator, they can also make a cameo replacement.

However, the Phoenix has some differences, except for Xia Yu, they are all rookies, He Xiao has sailing experience, but as a sailor's experience, he can't be a commander with his character, the situation of the crow is similar to He Xiao, the military background is used to obedience, and as an ordinary naval soldier, there is no experience as a commander, or decision-making experience, as for the five thorn-headed pirate crew, they have been cleaned up by He Xiao very obediently, but also when he was a pirate, he did not hold an important position.

Therefore, on the Phoenix, all decisions other than fighting were all made by Xia Yu and made the final decision, Yan Feilin is also very self-aware, although he will put forward ideas, he never questions or vetoes.

"But that doesn't mean she can fool us with a few technical words." Yan Feilin said: "Although I don't see anything wrong with the route she formulated, and I don't know what she wants to do, but her attitude is suspicious. ”

Wu Siqi said: "Do you need me to keep an eye on her?" ”

Yan Feilin said: "Can't be discovered by her, no matter what, she is very important, no matter whether there is a problem or not, we still have to rely on her to sail normally." ”

Wu Siqi smiled: "In terms of sailing knowledge and sailing experience, we are not as good as this woman, but in this regard, she is not even worthy of lifting my shoes." ”

Yan Feilin patted Wu Siqi's shoulder and said, "Then it's troublesome for you." ”

Wu Siqi nodded, and then followed in the direction Xia Yu had left.

After sending Xia Yu and Wu Siqi away, the others went to buy food and fresh water, and then they had to carry these things onto the ship, but the energy of the Phoenix needed to be replenished, which consumed a lot of time, about a day to a day and a half, and they needed to wait in Pirate Reef temporarily, so after getting the things that needed to be done, everyone went to the tavern to drink, which was the only pastime that everyone who stayed here could find.

However, with the experience of the night queen Wangcheng, Yan Feilin swore that he would never drink and drink unconscious again, it was too much delay, so after a shallow taste, Yan Feilin ordered everyone to go back to the hostel to rest.

……

Next!

The crew had to carry supplies, Yan Feilin naturally didn't have to do these jobs, and went to the restaurant with Xiao Lori in his arms, asking for bread and barbecue, and not long after sitting down, Wu Siqi sat opposite Yan Feilin.

Yan Feilin raised his head and said, "Gained?" ”

Wu Siqi shook his head and said, "After this woman walked around the Pirate Reef, she went back to the hostel to rest, she didn't have any contact with anything, and it seems normal." ”

"Is it normal?" Yan Feilin muttered, "Be careful, I hope we are just worried." ”

Wu Siqi nodded and said, "I'll keep an eye on her." ”

Yan Feilin said: "It's hard work. ”

"Hey, hey......" At this time, Zheng Jian walked into the restaurant with He Xiao, and Zheng Jian also held a newspaper and said, "There are some interesting things." ”

Yan Feilin said: "Where did you get the newspaper?" ”

Zheng Jiandao: "There are some pirate reefs for sale, one is a newspaper normally issued by the Federation, and the other is a special newspaper in the sea area, and Coconut Grove Island is really in trouble." ”

Yan Feilin took the newspaper and looked at it, the news of the soft mud monster had been reported, this big guy appeared five days ago, only in the coastal range of Coconut Grove Island, but did not attack the island, but just wandered around, so that passing ships did not dare to approach Coconut Grove Island at all, and the Federal Navy had announced that it would form a large-scale fleet to encircle and suppress.

This kind of news is very common, and when the federal army is dispatched on a large scale, it will always use newspapers and the Internet to publicize it, so as to show the strength of the federal army, and at the same time to establish the image of the Federation.

Yan Feilin said: "This has nothing to do with us, anyway, even if the Federal Navy solves the ooze monster, it is impossible for us to return to Coconut Grove Island now." ”

Zheng Jiandao: "Then look at this newspaper, there is the news we need, but it is not the front page headline, the front page is given to big events!" ”

Yan Feilin took the newspaper and looked at it, the news they needed, of course, was the news of Martins, the newspaper did have it, because some forces wanted to keep Martins, the Federal Supreme Court announced that it had entered the second trial stage, and the investigation has been reopened, and a second trial will be held in 15 days.

Maybe in the Asian region and the United States, Martins' matter did not cause much movement, but in the European region, Martins is indeed famous, and this matter is inextricably linked, and even the factional forces within the federation are arguing, but even so, Martins's news is still put on the third page.

The title of the first edition was - Monster Invasion!

There are always new monsters in the blood world, coming to the human world, so the word monster invasion is not a new title, but this time the matter is a bit big.

Because, after the four words of monster invasion, there is also a subtitle - the rout of the Elven Dragon Legion!

The three major legions of the Federation, the Dragoon Legion, the Angel Wings, and the Holy Cross Legion, of which the Dragoon Legion is divided into five groups, and the Elven Dragon Legion has always been stationed in the Blood Realm, just to prevent the invasion of powerful monsters.

Earlier news has reported that there is a large-scale monster invasion in the blood world, but at that time, for this news, not only Yan Feilin didn't care, the fact is that most people don't care, it is normal for the blood world to have monster invasions, small-scale monsters appear from the blood world, it is a matter of every three or five times, otherwise human beings have worked hard for so many years, and they have been encircling and suppressing monsters, and they can always kill the monsters, the biggest problem is actually that the monsters also appear in a steady stream from the blood world, although the Federation has thought about it and tried to destroy the entrance to the blood world, But it has not been successful, as for the large-scale monster invasion, it has been a long time, but there is always one time in two or three years, and it is not something to be very concerned about.

However, this time is completely different.

Yan Feilin looked down at the report, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

In the face of the large-scale appearance of monsters in the blood world, the elven dragon intercepted them according to the usual practice, and even if they could not be annihilated, they scattered the monsters as much as possible, so that the monsters scattered in all directions, and the harm was minimized.

If you look at it as usual, in the name of the three major legions of the Federation, the Elven Dragon Legion is indeed very good, and it can succeed every time, but this time is different.

After intercepting the monsters, the Elven Dragon Legion was not only defeated, but almost completely annihilated, the leader of the Elven Dragon Legion, the strong man of the Five Gene Gate, Ma Boye, was killed, and the six Elven Dragon Captains were killed, and under the leadership of the remaining two captains, only thirty or forty of the eight hundred Elven Dragon Knights escaped.

This is not a rout, this is a fiasco that was almost completely annihilated!

"This ......" Yan Feilin said: "It's impossible!" ”

Zheng Jiandao: "Continue to look down, I also think it is impossible, and this is a fact. ”

Yan Feilin flipped to the second page of the newspaper and gasped.

The second edition of the news is that the city of Oriha has been destroyed and completely reduced to a wasteland.

With the advent of the apocalyptic era, two of the five continents have long been wasteland, although there are still human beings, but it is almost negligible, there is a lack of water, food, no cities, only ruins.

And the remaining three continents, the sub-region because of the population base, the situation is the best, the European region is second, the situation of the United States and the mainland has not been very good, there is already more than half of the territory in ruins, and the population is also the least of the three regions, however, it is very interesting that the scientific and technological development of the United States and the continent has always been the best, and the troops of the European region are the most elite, among the three ace legions, the Holy Cross Legion is the most courageous, as for the sub-region, it is the most populous, and there are many natural soldiers, even twice that of the United States and the mainland, It's typical of the kind where spitting can drown people.

Yan Feilin said: "Oliha is a small city in the United States, but it also has a population of two or three hundred thousand, and the Federation may be in trouble. ”

Wu Siqi nodded in agreement.

Although no casualty data was released, how many of these two or three hundred thousand people could escape if a city was destroyed? Half of the estimates are optimistic estimates, which means that more than 100,000 people have died!

Yan Feilin suddenly felt a little emotional and sad, what they saw on weekdays was fighting for water and food, and people died at every turn, and even group beatings, dozens of people died, compared with the tragedy of these hundreds of thousands of people, it was simply pediatrics, if they were at home.

"This era ......" Yan Feilin sighed and said: "Human life is as cheap as a dog, it is really worthless." ”

Wu Siqi also said a little depressed: "Everyone wants to end this era and let themselves have a better tomorrow, but no one has the ability." ”

This is the reality, the harsh reality.

Yan Feilin tossed the newspaper aside, he really didn't want to read such news.

"After all, this is something that the Federation needs to think about." Yan Feilin said: "Even if we want to do something, what can we do?" We ......"

Yan Feilin said with some sadness: "We can't do anything!" ”

The atmosphere was a little depressing, in the face of such news, no one could be elated, especially what Yan Feilin said was the truth, no one wanted to see such a thing happen, but they couldn't do anything, all they could take into account was the present.

On the third day of arriving at Pirate Reef, the purchased materials had already been transported to the ship, Yan Feilin had gathered enough food and fresh water for ten days, of course, Yan Feilin could prepare more, but the food at sea was easy to rot, even fresh water, because the sea breeze may also be mixed with pollution sources, and fresh water would be polluted inexplicably, so it didn't make much sense to prepare too much food and fresh water, otherwise, Yan Feilin could have prepared food and fresh water for a month or two in the Triangle Port, at the same time, The Phoenix's energy was also stockpiled in the evening of the third day.
