Chapter 347: Exploration (I)
Heart storm
Lightning bolts, accompanied by deafening thunder, pierced the dark sky.
The fierce winds and the pouring rain made it seem as if the whole world had been overwhelmed by the rain.
In the haze, the big wave of the sky almost subverted everything.
A sudden storm swept across the sea.
"God Sure!" a first mate groaned.
If it weren't for the thick iron chains, all the ships were lined up in a circle, and many sacks wrapped in sawdust were tied to the sides of the ships to counteract the collision of the waves and each other's ships, I am afraid that the ships would have been overturned.
Even so. The entire fleet was still floating on the sea like weeds, and the huge wind and waves made the fleet toss up and down. From time to time, seawater floods the deck.
The face is colorless. The sailors who shouted prayers were desperately carrying out the difficult drainage, and stayed up all night.
"Captain, there is too much water in the ballast tank of ship No. 6 to drain out." Someone desperately reported that at this time. In a flash of lightning, a sailor could be seen who happened to be swept away by the wind and fell into the sea screaming.
Seeing this moment, almost everyone on the main ship prayed silently at the same time.
The lead ship "Thunder". It was also swaying with the stormy waves, and at this time, Captain Waddenwen looked in the direction of the sixth ship.
"Boom!" An earth-shattering lightning bolt slashed down in the pitch-black storm and landed on the sixth ship. In the lightning, the thick mast could be seen snapping in response, and countless dense ropes were broken. The entire hull shook violently.
Even during thunderstorms, flames can be seen.
"O God, this is its will, and it has sinned!" exclaimed one of the first mates, who fell to his knees as if to pray.
Waddenwen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the head of the first mate, who was praying, immediately flew out, blood splattered, and the sound of the canopy filled the entire cabin.
Waldvan roared angrily: "Untie the chains of ship six, and all the people on this ship will retreat! Kill or kill!"
Even in the ocean. His roar shook the whole sea, and it was a power given by the Lord he served.
In the midst of the storm, the sailors worked so hard that from time to time they fell into the ocean with a scream, and the chains were finally untied when the sixth ship had tilted.
The abandoned No. 6 ship, a large amount of seawater poured into the cabin and sank into the sea.
Finally. The storm gradually subsided, and the sun shone down.
"The storm stopped. ”
"Oh, O god of war, this is your grace!"
"Behold, it is the seagulls, and we are near to land. ”
One good dissipator after another was passed on, and one command after another was also spread.
"Count the personnel!"
"Count the supplies!"
"Ship-accompanying craftsmen mend the ship's cabin".
After waiting for another half an hour, someone screamed: "Found the island ahead!"
It's been half a month at sea, and after leaving the coastal area of the original mainland, I finally found the island, this voice. Full of excitement.
Waddenwen, who heard the report, immediately climbed to a high place to look.
At this time, it was already dusk, and the setting sun had dyed the sea and islands golden red, and Wadden could not help but wonder how similar this was to the brilliance of our Lord, which was auspicious.
Although he was disappointed by the island below, it was an island of rocks and forests.
The area is about 100 square meters. In fact, it is already a good island.
But it was too far from the island he wanted.
He sighed and gave an order: "Stay on the island, we will repair on the island for three days!"
As soon as this order was issued, the remaining seven boats immediately cheered.
Dusk came, and the boat came up, a reliable natural place on the island.
The iron and cobalt sank, the gangplank was erected, and the pirates went ashore one by one, according to the rules.
"The second boat is encamped!"
"The people of the third boat are hunting!"
The order was given, and there was not much time, and when night fell, the fire burned on the beach and the camp was entrenched.
Experienced pirates. Soon the prey was dragged over.
And there are a lot of wild vegetables that have been pulled back and cooked together, and there is not much time for the smell to be filled.
This is also the teaching of the god of war of the sea, which can avoid scurvy.
The moon rose from the sea and dyed the surface of the sea a blanket of silver.
At the central camp, Wadden was also resting.
At that moment, a crisp sound, a man in armor, approached Waddenvan and smiled, and through his exposed neck, the dark brown bloodworm could be seen.
"My lord, there are no people nearby, but there is fresh water and animals, so it's a good place. The man took off his helmet and said, "The specific situation, wait for tomorrow's boat inspection, this island is not big." Tomorrow we will find out if there are any human signs
"Well, Phobhan. You've done a good job!" Wadden slapped him hard.
This Phobhan, who is said to have been born in a noble side, is now a fifth-level warrior, or rather, a knight, but unfortunately, when he was a pirate, he killed too many people, and it is unlikely that he will have the opportunity to become a knight. Unless relying on the Waddenwen.
Fragrant barbecue. was taken over, and the two gobbled it up.
As Wadden ate, he looked in the moonlight, and found that the island was indeed very desolate, and seemed to be deserted, only wild beasts.
He couldn't help but show a trace of regret, and said: "This island is too small" Also, if only there were people!"
"Yes, my lord, this island is indeed too small, and it is still too far from establishing a kingdom, at least about the size of the kingdom of Deranya!" said Phobuhan, his eyes welling with longing.
The kingdom of Delanya is a kingdom composed of islands, with a small area of 10,000 square kilometers.
Waddenwen can reach this level, away from that. The support of "mysterious existence" is, of course, inseparable, and at the same time, the unprecedented goal he put forward is also convincing.
In history, there have been three pirate kings in 500 years.
Among them, Pier, a trainee sailor in the merchant ships of the former Kingdom of Yabo, later enlisted in the royal navy and participated in seven naval battles, after which he became a pirate. swept the seas, and later changed careers to become the commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Kingdom of Richam, becoming a hereditary lord, and died of illness in Danka City at the age of Mortem.
The second pirate king, Carmen, is the real pirate king, he was also a merchant sailor, and later became the pirate Captain Gort's subordinate, and broke away from Goth's self-reliance, continued to grow and grow, swept the sea, and finally challenged the royal navy of the kingdom of Rigabeth, and repeatedly won victories, the spoils were piled up, this person was extremely brutal, indiscriminately killed innocents, and even the subordinates who followed him did not let go, and finally died in the civil strife, until now, Carmen's treasure is also an attractive target.
The third pirate king, Movi, with the title of "Devil of the Sea", ran rampant in the sea, and finally married the daughter of a certain baron, and later inherited the title and became the naval commander of the field kingdom at that time.
But, without exception, either dead or recruited, only the young Waddenwen. The goal of "building our own kingdom" was put forward, an unprecedented goal, which really united the pirates.
"It must also be like the kingdom of Delanya, where the currents are strong and the reefs are dense. In this way, we can obtain a stable foundation at the beginning of the founding of the kingdom, and the kingdom of Delanya was only 500 people at that time, and it developed by constant trade and plunder, and we should do the same. Wadden said, his eyes shining sharply.
This is also God's promise.
God said, "I will make you look for new land in the sea, make you king, and make my church the state religion." ”
It was undoubtedly a perfect fit.
Of course, Wadden also knew that after finding the large island, there was a group of elves who also had the same faith, and the gods promised them to relocate to the forest, and Wadwen's understanding was quite understanding.
Now God lacks believers, and there are elven believers who of course have to promise, and, the forest?
The mountains and forests will be handed over to the elves.
Waddenvan was now satisfied with being king, and he was now thinking about another question: "Ferbuhan, we are running out of time. ”
For his cronies, his tone revealed undisguised anxiety.
"Yes, my lord, we must find a suitable island to build a country before the end of the demonic plague, otherwise, I don't think that the continent countries that have freed up our hands will allow us to proceed smoothly" Fubuhan is also very clear about this: "Also, there is still a demonic plague now, our Iron Throne can still develop, and we can also send all kinds of assistance, once a large number of demonic disasters subside, I am afraid that this will not be possible." ”
Waddenwen nodded, he tore off a piece of meat, bit it, and asked straight to the point, "Then how much time do you think you have left?"
"Two years at most!"
"Also, my lord, you must find or return to the ship within two months, otherwise your sub-captains Mark and Hago may not be loyal to you. Furbuhan said sadly at last.
After the last victory, he already has thirty ships, two bases, and already has the foundation to be a pirate king, but he still divided three fleets, appointed cronies as the captains of the ships, and led the largest tonnage ship to the sea by himself, and now, there are seven out of nine ships.
However, pirates are of course not the same as states, and Waldvan's prestige is not enough to keep him in control for a long time.
Waddenwen nodded silently again and said, "I know, but for the sake of faith and country, I still decided to give up sweeping the sea, and sail desperately to find a new paradise I believe that even if I fail, I can make a comeback!"
Waddenvan has a gambling nature, and gamblers are always desperate when it matters, of course. It's always the gamblers who lose the most, but that hope can make everything down.
Waddenwen crossed his fingers together, put his crotch on his head, pondered for a while, and said: "It is necessary to repair for three days, but starting tomorrow, we will send a boat to inspect the surroundings, since there are islands here, it should not be alone, I hope to find a new suitable island!"
"Yes, my lord!" replied to Phouhan respectfully.
At this moment, the wind blew, and a rustle of the forest swaying sounded.
This caught Waddenvin's attention in an instant, and he touched the hilt of his sword, then shrugged his shoulders with some self-deprecation, realizing that he was a philistine, and that this was not a continent full of dangers.
