Chapter 204 - Game in the Air

"Boat speed?"

"Twelve nautical miles, my lord. ”

"When are you leaving?"

"This afternoon, as soon as the aging part of the ship is repaired, we will set off immediately. ”

"Okay, twenty-eight. ”

Brandwison handed a handful of gold coins into the hands of the captain of the Black Volcano.

"Captain, why are we wasting half a day here?"

"If you want to hurry, you can't get there. Brandwieson pointed to the God-given Canal. "The breath of the Divine Crystals disappeared here, that is, this person with the Divine Crystals walked the waterway. Although the water transport is at least slower than ours, it is around the clock, and in general, it will be faster than us. ”

"We can also work around the clock, everyone is above the level of fifteen, and there are not a few in the Holy Domain, and it is not a big deal to stay awake day and night for two or three days. ”

"What about your horses? Even if the three horses are rotated, can they run for two or three days?" Brandwieson shook his head and continued: "Even if your horse is like you, it can run day and night for two or three days, so do you know how far that person with the crystallization of divinity has to go on the waterway? The God-given Canal is 1,600 kilometers long, and you can still run for half a month?"

"Even if these problems are solved, what about your state after the continuous rapid march?"

Brandwisson casually asked a few questions, leaving the newly selected team members speechless.

He sighed to himself, although these young people have good strength, they still lack some experience.

"Moreover, the crux of the matter is that there is a considerable distance between the water and land routes, and if we take the right path on land, then there will be a period of distance that will inevitably lose the sense of divine crystal, and if we follow the waterway, then there will be several sections of road that are not suitable for marching and several more dangerous places. My sense of the crystallization of divinity is both a help and a constraint, and we must meticulously follow the path of this person. ”

The team member nodded, but there was still a little unconvinced in his eyes.

Brandwison had a great reputation in the Church of Light in the early years, but several fiascos were also shadows that he could not erase, not to mention the near-total annihilation ten years ago, even the loss in Golden City last year was enough for him to become a joke.

Brandwison didn't care about these changes, he only knew that he still had power, and it was enough that the Pope was willing to give him power.

Seeing that the topic was a little stiff, the deputy team next to him came out to play a round: "Fortunately, this Black Volcano doesn't know what happened, so they have to delay for a few days before leaving, otherwise we have to wait for another half a month before the next ship can sit." ”

"It seems that the God of Light has been watching over us. ”

"I'm sure I'll be able to do it well this time. ”

Brandwisson listened silently to the lively and excited discussion of the players, but he was thinking about the coincidence.

Two days before their arrival, there was a fishing boat, and two cargo ships left the dock, and according to the speed of the cargo ship or fishing boat, even if they were two days late, the time difference between the two sides could be greatly shortened.

The premise is that they must be on a passenger ship.

But the Black Volcano, which has a good reputation and has only been overhauled from the shipyard for less than three years, was actually found out by the crew of the aging of the hull.

Could it be that the old shipbuilders in the shipyard are not as good as the routine inspection of a bunch of crew members?

If the aging of the hull is deliberate, then who will he target? unknown prey, or will they be the pursuit team? If the target is their pursuit team, then it will be bad, which means that the advantage of the enemy is gone, and even the enemy is in a disadvantageous position.

This is a strange incident, but Blandwisson has no substantial evidence, let alone a warning to the new players, so he can only do his best to prevent the opponent's moves.

The new players chatted, bragged, and mingled all morning, and if it had been the previous team that had been trained by Brandwisson for ten years, it would never have been so noisy and unsettled.

"It's time, let's go. ”

The team members couldn't help but hold back, although Blandwisson's record in the past two years has not been very good, but his combat effectiveness is really powerful.

The Black Volcano slowly sailed out of the harbor, and the three-hundred-ton creature broke through the waves, parted the white lake, and slid into the river.

Brandwieson stood at the stern of the boat, estimating the speed of the ship.

"Eleven, twelve, eleven. ”

Although the speed of the Black Volcano could not reach a steady twelve nautical miles, the speed of eleven knots was barely enough.

At this rate, if the deliberate postponement of the Black Volcano's departure date was a move against them, then this move would be a fool's errand.

"No, it's not a stupid move. Brandwison frowned again: "Deliberately extending the sailing date to a tolerable point, probably in order to lure us aboard, and thus adjust the time difference between him and us to a predictable fixed value, in this way, they will determine to a certain extent the speed and time of our advance." ”

"What's the use of knowing when we're arriving, and fighting an ambush?" Brandwison thought for a moment, if that person was waiting for him in a certain port, then he would be able to give him a great surprise by virtue of his sense of divine crystal.

"What do you think, Captain. ”

The deputy walked over, took a bottle of wine and two glasses, and poured a glass for Brandwisson.

"Nothing. ”

"Have a drink?"

"I don't drink. ”

The deputy team smiled, didn't insist, and put the glass of wine to his mouth: "Captain, those boys don't know the height of the sky, don't take it to heart." ”

"I don't care about that. ”

"So what are you thinking? ”

"Thinking about the guy we're tracking. Blandwieson leaned against the aft railing and said, "This man gives me a sense of familiarity." ”

"Familiar?" the deputy poured himself another glass of wine: "If I encounter something familiar, I will definitely think about where I have encountered it, I trust my intuition." ”

"Yes. ”

Brandwieson replied as he looked at the direction of the river. I don't know if it's his delusion, but the cold of the Black Volcano seems to be a little slower.

The Black Volcano had been on the canal for two days, and by this time, the Shiratori had arrived at Watertown with the dragon adventure party.

Brandwieson stood at the stern of the boat again, looking at the gentler river, his eyebrows pressed tightly together.

"No, this ship definitely doesn't have a speed of twelve knots, not even eight!"

He walked up and down the stern, looking up at the smooth deck at one moment.

"There's a problem, there's definitely a problem! But what's the problem?"
