The sun was sinking behind him, and it was about to sink into the farthest horizon.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled over, dyeing the sea surface orange and yellow, and also draped a layer of pale yellow paint on the "Spreading Wings", "Chaoyang", and "Victory Goddess Elis", which was very beautiful.

Neval squinted slightly, looked at the endless sea behind him, then turned to look at the sea in front of him, which also had no end in sight and had begun to turn black, nodded lightly, and explained to the deputy next to him: "Explain, start to reduce your speed, and enter the night sailing stage." ”

The deputy took the order, and after a while, the speed of the Spreading Wings slowed down significantly, and the Chaoyang and the Goddess of Victory, Ilis, who were slightly behind on the left and right, also slowed down, still maintaining a triangular formation with the Spreading Wings, and continued to move eastward on the vast sea.

Neval came to the railing and glanced at the sea.

Although the waves brought by the Wings were much smaller than just now due to the reduced speed, they were still countless times larger than any of the ships that Neval had ridden before.

If you happen to hit a wave, the spray will splash and even soar several meters high.

Having lived at sea for so many years, Neval has always been very fond of watching the waves crashed by ships.

However, before that, he had never seen a ship that could hit such a high wave on the sea like the Chaoyang, and still be able to keep moving forward smoothly and quickly.

Stability and safety are the deepest feelings Nevar has felt in the past three months since he boarded the ship.

Compared to the wooden sea ships that Neval had ridden in the past. The Wings Spread is dozens of times larger in size. And because the whole body is made of stainless steel. When sailing on the sea, it is exceptionally smooth.

In the past, when driving those wooden sea boats, there was often a large wave, and the whole sea boat would shake violently and bumper, making people always have the illusion that the whole ship would capsize in the next moment.

And on this Spreading Wings, the average wave does not have the slightest effect at all, and staying on the deck is like staying on flat ground.

Even in the event of larger, more violent waves, the Spreading Wings can still be steadily crushed. There will be no fluctuations, which makes people feel very reassured.

Thinking of this, Neval's mind couldn't help but think of the thrilling situation he had experienced that night three days earlier.

Three days earlier, the fleet had been sailing through a bay corner at night when it had encountered a sudden storm.

The storm was extremely violent, and the conditions were extremely bad, and if I had encountered such a violent storm when I went to sea before, there was almost no chance of survival.

However, in the face of such a violent storm, the three huge magic ships of the Spreading Wings showed far more safety than ordinary wooden sea ships.

Although the hull will still be affected and jolted, the overall situation is unusually stable.

Combined with the wind and water magic arrays attached to the outside of the three magic ships to deal with the harsh weather conditions at sea. The three magic steamers were not really in danger from start to finish.

When the storm passes, the sea is calm again. Everyone, including Neval, was in disbelief.

The people on all three ships were all veteran sailors who had been begging for a living at sea for many years, and they knew much more about the dangers of the sea than the average person, so they knew very well what terrible danger this sudden storm hid, and even most of them had already pronounced death sentences on themselves in their hearts.

But no one expected that the three magic ships of the Spreading Wings would survive this danger so easily.

After everyone escaped death, they suddenly had a new understanding and trust in the abilities of these three magic ships.

If everyone felt a little uncertain about the future when they set off from Xinfei Port, they couldn't help but feel fearful, but after experiencing this storm, everyone instantly felt full of confidence.

Everyone is convinced that with these three powerful magic ships, they will be able to sail even from the sea to the farthest corners of the world!

Neval was also convinced of this.

However, as the commander of this fleet, he also had to consider more practical situations.

Nearly 20 days have passed since the departure from the new flight port.

Judging from the charts, most of the journey has passed.

If you land on the shore now, you must have entered the territory of the Ruerson Kingdom.

If nothing else, it takes less than a week to reach Nissi.

In fact, with the three magic steamers of the Spreading Wings being able to maintain a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour, they would not have needed such a long time, but they knew that it would take less than a week to complete this voyage.

But because it was the first voyage, the fleet was tasked with not only successfully transporting cargo to Nissi, but also finding the route and laying the groundwork for future voyages.

Therefore, during the whole voyage, Neval was cautious, strictly controlled the sailing speed, and along the way, the situation in the sea around the route was recorded in detail and drawn into a chart, and the overall speed was naturally much slower.

Walking slowly, although it is safer, it also brings a lot of problems.

First of all, there is the problem of logistics and materials.

Although Neval had already set a one-month sailing time when he set out from the new port, and he had prepared supplies according to a month's time, all kinds of accidents were inevitable when sailing on the sea, and the supplies were consumed much faster than Neval's plan.

With the remaining supplies on these three magic ships, it can probably support the consumption of the entire fleet for ten days.

Theoretically, it should be enough for the fleet to hold out to reach the city of Nissi.

But if something happens again, it's hard to say.

Other supplies are easy to solve, but once the most important freshwater resources at sea are gone, there is really nowhere to go.

Thinking of the severity of this question, Neval couldn't help but think of something that the Lord had mentioned to him before he set sail, saying that he was thinking about developing a magic freshwater purifier.

If this thing is successfully developed, it will be much more convenient to have a few when you sail to sea in the future.

But now...... We have to solve the problem at hand first.

Neval glanced at the vast sea ahead of the fleet, raised his head to look at the lookout above the middle of the Spreading Wings, picked up the magic phone box in his hand, and said, "Mace, show me, if you see any larger islands nearby, let us know in advance, and we will try to get some supplies on these islands." ”

"Yes!" a slightly flirtatious voice rang out from the magic call box, then lowered its voice. "But Captain, it's going to be dark this day, and I can't see it clearly. ”

"Less nonsense, let you watch it. Not only today, but every day in the future, understand?" Neval exclaimed.

"Oh, I see. But I've been looking at it for so long, and I haven't seen a few big islands at all. I said, Captain, is there something wrong with the route we chose? I think if we were closer to the coastline, there would be more islands like this. ”

"Need you to talk nonsense?" Neval snapped.

If possible, he knew that it would be much safer to sail closer to the shoreline, and that it would be easier to get supplies from the coast.

However, the three magic steamers of the Spreading Wings are very good, but there is one problem, that is, the hull is too large, and because all of them are cast in stainless steel, the tonnage is extremely heavy, and the draft is too deep.

If you get too close to the coastline, the familiar sea area is just enough, and the unfamiliar sea area is full of reefs, maybe you will directly hit the reef and lead to stranding.

If this really happens, then what kind of face will he have to go back to see the elder.

Besides, the main task of this fleet this time is to find out the route, so Neval deliberately chose a route that is not clear along the way.

However, on the route he chose this time, he never encountered any suitable islands that could be used as intermediate supply stations, and the supplies could not be replenished.

He is now worried about this matter, and this Mace is still rambling here, which naturally makes him unhappy.

Mace is Neval's old subordinate, so naturally he can hear that his current tone is not good.

The probe glanced down to the deck below, and saw that Neval was pacing the deck in circles, and knowing that he might have something important on his mind, Mace stuck out his tongue, stopped talking, and turned his head to look at the sea in the distance.

By this time, most of the sunset had sunk into the distant horizon behind him, and the sea to the east had already become dark, and even though Mace had always had excellent eyesight and was equipped with a telescope, he could not see anything at all.

After glancing around, Mace muttered, and was about to put down the binoculars and rest for a while, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow on the sea in the distance, and quickly approached this side.

Mace was stunned, but immediately reacted, jumped to his feet, and shouted loudly to the deck below.

"There are pirates!"

The terrible shout reached the ears of everyone on the deck of the Wings, and everyone was taken aback.

Pirates are not an unfamiliar term to those of them who have lived at sea for many years.

However, it has been more than ten days since the voyage was carried out, perhaps because the route happened to enter the deep sea and avoided the place close to the coastline, so it has been very safe, and everyone almost forgot about piracy.

Unexpectedly, I entered the sea area of the Ruerson Kingdom now, and it was not far from the destination, but I encountered pirates.

Hearing Mace's shout, Neval stopped, first looked up at the lookout, and then looked ahead, but saw nothing from the darkness.

After being stunned, Neval did not show any panic on his face, but showed surprise in his eyes.

"Pirates?haha, great!" (To be continued......)
