Section 11: The Beginning of the War (I)
Speaking of which, Marcia is really a good person, and her suggestion just complements Townsend's most fatal weakness - in terms of abilities, Townsend is gifted with amazing comprehension, and has the experience notes of his predecessors, but lacks basic textbooks and theoretical knowledge.
Sister Marcia is from a professional background, and her foundation is extremely solid, and she is simply a basic database that can be moved.
Townsend often took the opportunity to point out what he didn't know, and Marcia would immediately come up with a full set of theories and solutions. So Townsend's biggest weakness in terms of base abilities has been compensated for in just over half of it in just a dozen days!
This is not a small improvement, Townsend's talent has a strong amplification and bonus effect, and the shortcomings are compensated, which also means that his combat effectiveness has changed.
Not quite at the level of a junior Ability, but at the level of Roaring, Townsend does have the level of a machine gun - and he can already unleash abilities with a gesture as Marcia envisions.
Marcia's eldest sister was not in vain, and it can even be said that she had to find an unexpected surprise in the process of guiding Townsend.
Originally, the main reason for her to follow Townsend was to protect him, at least to protect Townsend to reach the guild's sphere of influence, because she was sure that Townsend was a good seedling and the future was limitless. In contrast, she didn't care at all how far the Thorn Rose could go.
But she obviously didn't expect Townsend to be able to influence herself now.
When Townsend guided Vahu, Marcia found that Townsend's perception of the supernatural power was extremely accurate, almost to the outrageous level - if he followed Townsend's pace and movements, the supernatural power would voluntarily collide with Vahu's palm, and his subsequent release would be effortless.
Marcia experimented with combining Townsend's guidance and self-perception, and immediately achieved better results than before, and she even clarified the nuances of the proximity of the anomaly power from the front and side. You know, no one can see the power of the power, and everyone's perception of the power is different, and this is something that the teacher cannot teach and can only comprehend on his own.
Marcia is very excited, because every point she has a solid foundation, the hope of breakthrough in the future is a little bigger, and she is now in the bottleneck of breakthrough, as long as she has a little more help, she can become a real Anomalist!
Beginner, it's another world, a new and wonderful world!
She even wanted Townsend to lead her a few times, standing at the most core place to feel it firsthand, but Townsend's way of leading made her prohibitive, the eldest sister's temper had been set, and she really couldn't stand being slapped on the back of the head...... What's more, even if she stands a few meters away, she still has a harvest, but she just has to figure it out more.
As the days passed, the fleet got closer to its destination, and the progress of the three Ability Apprentices became more and more obvious. Finally, on the thirtieth day of The Green, the pilot of the fleet reported that they had seen the forests of the northern part of the Quelsa Plain, and the officers checked the map and learned that it was less than three hundred miles away from their final destination, the wharf of Oahu.
Since the beginning of "Green", the fleet has been sailing against the wind for thirty days, because the actual distance along the coast is more than 2,800 miles.
The team cleared out six coastal wildling tribes and two small pirate gangs along the way. Three brigs, eight sloops, and a large number of old ordnance, as well as a quantity of gold and silver treasures, were captured, and the caravan planted the blue banner of Thorn Rose next to the three rich tribes, and began to buy special goods.
But all this is just preparation, whether the Thorn Rose can survive on the West Coast depends on the next battle!
"Let's go to the three-masted ship, and the real war is about to begin. After receiving the report from his men, Townsend withdrew the hand that was about to be knocked on the back of Vahu's head, and turned back into the indifferent leader: "Marcia, Vahu, are you ready?"
Marcia closed the textbook in her hand and replied calmly and attentively, "The leader's gaze is the hunting ground of the turbid waves. โ
"Chief, I can't wait!" Vahu waved his fists, his eyes widened and his hair stood on end, "I'm going to use their heads to validate the roar!"
It's just Vahu's good intentions to use enemies to validate abilities, but enemies aren't the same as fools, and they're not willing to be targeted. All this depends on whether the battle plan of Thorn Rose can be successfully implemented.
So then, the captain's room of the three-masted ship was naturally turned into the office of the staff of the military department, with all kinds of maps on the dining table, all kinds of materials in the wine cabinet, and the heralds sitting on the cables outside in order, waiting for the orders to be given inside.
The flotilla continued to advance, but with a slight slowdown. First of all, a reconnaissance team was dispatched, and they were divided into three groups and rushed forward to reconnoiter on a clipper.
The task of the first group is to find a harbor where the fleet can temporarily anchor and use it as a rear base, the second group is to reconnoiter the coast and eliminate the insecurity around the fleet, and the third group is the most important task, because they are responsible for going to the private dock in Oahu and finding the contacts of his close men who have left them in the local area, and if the joints fail, then the others have to find suitable landing points.
The blue flags were all put away, the red flags began to flutter in the wind, and under the countless thorns and roses, all the battle teams were making preparations for the battle in a tense and orderly manner -- in the battle plan, the first batch of troops to land was no more than 400 people, including reconnaissance teams, logistics teams, and main battle teams, and even Townshend's guards.
The fleet will not be too far away from the large army, so it is only necessary to leave caravan guards and some scattered soldiers here, and maintain a minimum of early warning force.
When it was dark, the fleet had marched forward another hundred miles or so, when scouts came back with the news that they had found a small island a hundred miles away, with only a dozen or so families on it, which could be used as a temporary anchorage for the fleetโit was less than a hundred miles from the private dock at Wahu, and it would take only more than four hours to reach it at full speed, which was a suitable base.
"I've been on this island before, and the water facing the open sea is deep enough for boats. "Tile + Passion nonsense: "It's that there is little fresh water on the island, and the place is small." โ
"And don't live on the island for the rest of your life, don't be afraid. Townsend drew a line on the chart and showed it to the staff officer waiting next to him: "Give it to the pilot, and the fleet should be in place as soon as possible." Remember to inform the scout in front that we have changed locations. โ
