Chapter 43: Moonlit Night Raid (50,000 Red Tickets Plus Update)

"Whoa!" In the bright moonlight, a dinghy was lowered from the Vistelos and landed on the calm sea, causing a splash. More than a dozen figures silently climbed onto the dinghy from a suspended rope ladder, and then the dinghy began to crawl off like a multi-legged centipede.

"The Vistelos will have to send us here, and we will be discovered if we get closer. We must approach Jan Mayen Island at night, get rid of Clifford's lookout post high on the island, and use the signal lights to inform the Vestelos, do you all understand? Gerhardt commanded the sailors with a serious face.

"Yes, sir!" The sailors replied with a bang, and their voices were mixed with two shrill female voices.

"Hee-hee, boss, Hedlam's helpless expression just now is really interesting!" Dinah's laughter came from Xu Mo's soul mark.

"You pretended to be a god stick and said that there are footprints of the ice and snow goddess on this island, and you want to pray and worship, and you released the ghost wolf king to show that you have the ability to protect yourself, what else can he do, and he can't use the identity of the admiral of the navy to give you orders!" Xu Mo smiled.

"Okay, it will probably take us two hours to row from here to Jan Mayan Island, everyone is silent, take turns to rest, maintain good strength, and don't talk from now on!" Gerhardt said cautiously.

Yesterday, in Xu Mo's discussion with Hedram and Gerhardt, they found an important reason why Clifford did not choose to fight them the other day. At that time, Clifford had distanced themselves enough from them that if they chose to return to fight, although they were also not in the upper hand, there was no danger of the rudder being shelled.

With the strong firepower of the Hell God and the excellent gunnery of the English sailors, they still had an advantage in artillery battles, but because the Vistelos was in the upper hand, the hull was nimble, and the admiral on board was the "North Sea Silver Eagle", which was famous for his maneuvering skills, Clifford did not choose to return to fight, but chose to choose a place to fight again.

Clifford's chosen decisive battle site is Jan Mayen Island, which has high peaks at the north and south ends, and a volcano at the southern end that is thousands of meters high. Standing halfway up the volcano would be able to monitor any warship that passes dozens of nautical miles away.

Although Clifford did not understand why the Swedish navy would attack the Allied warships, he understood that since Hedram had chosen to attack, it was absolutely impossible for him to let himself go back to England. Because then Sweden would risk the breakdown of the alliance and an all-out war with England at sea, so Hedram would chase him to the ends of the earth wherever he went.

Clifford immediately thought of Jan Mayen, an island where not only could there be lookouts to monitor ships on the sea, but also fresh water resources to replenish the fresh water on the ships. If Hedram can't find any trace of the Hell God on the narrow route for a long time, then he must think that he is on Jan Mayen Island, and even if he can't think of him on Jan Mayen Island, the Vistelos will go to Jan Mayen Island to replenish fresh water.

If the crew of the Vistellos entered the waters of Jan Mayen during the day, they would be spotted dozens of nautical miles away, and the Hell God could use the signal of the island's lookout post to circle the back of the Vistellos from the other side of the island and launch a surprise attack. Even if Hedram had wittily used the night to enter the waters of Jan Mayen, the distance would have been detected by the lookout post, and in that case, the Hell God would have the upper hand even if it didn't have time to launch a surprise attack.

After realizing this, the three of Hedram immediately felt that it was tricky, and Clifford really lived up to his reputation, and with just a little clue, he immediately formulated such a clever battle plan on the rapidly changing battlefield. Very wisely, they gave up their weak advantage in artillery warfare, seized the passive posture that Hudram had to pursue, and regained the initiative on the battlefield.

Faced with this situation, the people of the Vestelos had to choose a risky approach, the Vestelos would get as close to Jan Mayen Island as possible in the dark of night, and then send the deck sailors skilled in close combat to the island in a dinghy from a long distance to uproot the Hellgod's lookout post on Jan Mayen.

The Hellgod was always ready to face the arrival of the Vistellos, and it was unlikely that they would have placed a lot of combatants on the lookout, especially since they had lost some of their deck crew in the Vistellos' shotgun attack the other day.

However, Xu Mo and the others were still carrying out a very dangerous mission, and if they were discovered by the lookout post in advance, then needless to say, they would be sent to death. Even if they weren't discovered in advance by the lookout, Xu Mo's hearts of several reincarnators were still not easy, because they knew that this mission might have to face an unknown number of elite reincarnators on the Hell God.

At present, there are not only Gerhardt and the four reincarnators on the dinghy, but also five of the most ferocious deck sailors of the Vestelos, among them Frieza and Hurd. As the dinghy approached Jan Mayen Island two hours later, everyone's hearts were on their throats, and if they had been discovered, a volley of guns and bullets would await them on the shore.

Frieza fastened the dinghy to a jutting reef on the shore, and everyone's hearts fell back into their stomachs, and they all showed expressions of happiness that they had not been discovered by the lookout. The mighty Viking sailors looked at each other and grinned, since the god Odin was watching over them, then they would become a nightmare for the English people.

Finding the lookout post is actually very simple, Yanmayen Island is located at a high latitude, the climate on the island is very harsh, even if it is summer, but the temperature at night is still extremely low, the personnel sent by the Hell God on the high part of the island must make a fire to keep warm, and the fire in the dark night is Xu Mo's goal.

However, Xu Mo and their time is very tight, they not only have to deal with the lookout post and send a message to the Vistellos, but also through the lookout post, quickly find the Hell God hidden in the nearby sea, and let the Vistelos surprise the Hell God.

However, an unexpected circumstance arose, and they did find a campfire, but it was at the foot of the volcano, not at the height of the volcano. Xu Mo's heart froze slightly, and he and Gerhardt glanced at each other, both of them were puzzled by this unexpected situation, and after some discussion, the two divided the ten people into two groups, one group in the front, and one group in the back to touch the bonfire.

There were only two men at the campfire, who had wrapped themselves tightly in their coats, and these two men were so wary that they were now asleep, and there were no other ambushes or sentries nearby.

"Hmm!!" The two men woke up from their sleep to find their mouths and noses tightly covered, and a cold-lit dagger on their throats.

"Captain Bright!" Gerhardt's eyes widened suddenly, he knew the man in front of him who was choked by Xu Mo, this was one of the captains of the two armed merchant ships sent by Gustav II to help the Vestelos, "What the hell is going on Jan Mayen, what about the Hell God?" ”

"Our ship was sunk by the Hell God, most of the sailors were killed, and only the two of us survived and became prisoners of Clifford. The Hell God just left Jan Mayen Island yesterday morning, and we were banished here, left to fend for ourselves! Two men who had been hungry for a day devoured the food handed by the sailor as they recounted their ordeal.

"Why would the Hell God give up such a good place for a decisive battle?" Gerhardt asked in surprise, "Are you sure the Hell God isn't nearby anymore?" ”

"Well, we've been looking out over the sea all day, hoping that a ship will pass by here, and the Hell God is indeed no longer here!" "I don't know much about why the Hellgod gave up here, except to hear what ghosts the English guarding us are talking about in panic!" ”

Gerhardt and Xu Mo glanced at each other, it seemed that something very strange had happened to the Hell God, and even Clifford could no longer force the English sailors to stay on the island as lookout posts. If there were no lookouts, it would be dangerous for the Hell God to stay in the nearby sea, and Clifford would of course choose to leave.

It's just that what happened to the Hell God made the North Sea Lion helpless!
