Chapter XXVII

The monsoon that Captain Robert spoke of was coming soon,

The momentum brought by the strong wind made the [Dragon Eagle] quickly withdraw from the mermaid gathering area. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this wind seems to be a little stronger, and the [Dragon Eagle] is a little uncontrollable and wild.

On several occasions, the belly of the ship narrowly brushed over the reef, almost causing a tragedy.

Fortunately, Captain Robert and Boss Tadoni joined forces to drive the [Dragon Eagle] to a safe area.

And quickly adjust the bow of the boat, then lower the anchor and wait for the wind to end.

At this time, the mermaids on the boat have been wiped out, and the mermaids chasing in the sea do not leave their specific area.

Therefore, they can no longer be seen crazy.

Legend has it that the blood of a mermaid can make people stay young, and many sailors are collecting the blood on the corpse of a mermaid.

I also apply it to my body from time to time.

The mercenaries did not move, they were cleaning up the battlefield and assisting some sailors in bringing the wounded to the infirmary.

Take away the weapons that can still be used, and collect the damaged weapons.

Ready to be disassembled into parts for dedicated logistics staff.

As soon as Wren opened his mouth to drink the sailors who collected the blood of mermaids, he was stopped by Augusto, who whispered in Wren's ear:

"Don't jump to conclusions, you'll know why. ”

Then Wren watched in silence as the sailors filled various containers with the mermaid's blood.

They only pretended to be the blood of the mermaid, and did not cut the skin and bones of the mermaid.

If they did, Wren would surely throw them all on the next land he saw.

The corpse of the mermaid, whose blood had been collected, was thrown into the sea.

They help to look like they are asleep, very quiet and beautiful, but who would have thought,

How ferocious and terrifying they are when they attack as monsters.

If Ogudo hadn't been there this time, I'm afraid a boatload of people would have sunk in that dangerous sea.

Casualty data have been counted.

Thirty-six sailors died and mercenaries died eighteen, adding up to a total of fifty-four.

Countless wounded of all kinds, almost those who fought on deck,

There are many traces of scratches and bites from mermaids.

The sailor, who had collected the blood of a vessel, walked up to Wren and handed the vessel to Wren and said:

"Captain Wren, smear your wounds with this blood. Mermaids have poisonous claws and teeth. ”

Listening to the sailor's words, Wren's face was full of consternation, he forgot a few scratches on his body, turned his head to look at Augusto,

The other man nodded at him, indicating that the sailor had not lied to him.

Wren then looked around at the sailors around him collecting mermaid blood, and realized that they were now smearing mercenaries with mermaid blood.

After Wren smeared his wound with mermaid blood, he asked the sailor in front of him to help the others.

Then he asked Augusto, "What's going on? You already know that mermaids have poisonous teeth and claws?"

Ogudo shook his head: "I've just heard a little bit of legend. This was the first time I had seen this creature. ”

Wren estimated that he couldn't get an explanation for the mermaid's poison here in Augusto, so he had to ask the old captain with rich experience in sailing.

By the way, I also went to visit them.

Fortunately, with the help of sailors and mercenaries, the old captain was not seriously injured, and after smearing mermaid blood, there were already sailors bandaging his arm.

When the old captain listened to Wren's question, he smiled and explained to Wren:

"Mermaids are carnivorous sea beasts with many parasites on their teeth and claws.

The person who is bitten will be fine for a short time, but after a long time, the lesion will develop, and if it is not treated, it will die after a week. ”

"But their blood is just right to kill these parasites, and it works best. ”

"Cooked mermaid blood can also be eaten in the stomach to immune, immune, and kill these parasites. ”

After listening to the captain's explanation, Wren suddenly realized.

Wren felt that he was not a real sailor because he knew too little about the sea.

He was a little ashamed to misunderstand the sailor's actions before, but he took the time to care about these things.

It's better to think more about how to get through that hateful sea area later.

Now more than fifty people were sacrificed at once, and each of those people Wren had seen, although not every one of them could be called famous,

But they are also companions who have lived together on the ship for more than two years.

The loss of more than fifty companions at once, a person of flesh and blood, will feel sad.

After everyone on the ship has smeared the mermaid's blood and drunk the soup made from the mermaid's blood,

Wren summoned most of the people to the deck and held a simple burial ceremony at sea for the lost warriors.

There were five dinghys floating on the sea, all of which were already in flames.

May their souls live happily with the god of the sea!

After such a sudden disaster, the morale of the [Dragon Eagle] did not fall into an endless depression.

The men of the sea are very open-minded, and dying in the sea is just going home,

When you go home, you can't always feel unhappy.

The sunrise and sunset at sea are still going on, and the [Dragon Eagle] after consulting with the captains in Rennes,

It has already begun to drive in a new direction.

It was still necessary to cross the Black Sea, but this time it was more cautious, and the direction of the ship was deliberately avoiding the places where it had been attacked before.

The entire [Ship Grave] sea area is very wide, and it does not go in the previous direction,

Other directions are not necessarily easy to follow.

There are many of the same reefs, and from time to time you can see the accumulation of shipwrecks, and the shipwrecks look like old ships.

Looking at this labyrinth-like sea, Wren could finally understand why the United Empire of Rice Eagle was so relieved of this sea.

This simply does not allow a large number of warships to pass, and the larger warships cannot pass through, because there is too little space for the big ships to maneuver.

In addition to the reef wreckage being a danger to sailing, the mermaid's attack is also really difficult to resist.

If it weren't for Monsoon's help and luckily leaving, the [Dragon Eagle] would not have escaped the disaster.

Speaking of mermaids, this voyage seems to have gone too smoothly, under the full detection of Ogudo and the mercenaries,

I didn't find a single mermaid.

Wren had a bad premonition in his heart, he felt that so many mermaids did not appear in this area,

It's likely that this area is home to creatures that are more terrifying than theirs.

Fierce beasts and monsters have a strong sense of territory, and they will not venture into the territory of other powerful lords to make trouble.

The smarter the beast, the more it knows how to follow this set of rules.

"Ogudo, watch out for the massive creatures! I doubt the legends of the Ship's Grave are true. ”

Wren reminded Augusto, although he knew that the other party would pay attention to these details,

But he still felt the need to remind the members of the danger, because it was the captain's duty to alert the members to danger.

"Artillery loading!

Ogudo accepted Wren's reminder very directly, and quickly gave orders to the others.

He is the battle captain on the [Dragon Eagle], and he is also the battle captain on the former Navy warship.

So the matter of commanding the battle, Wren was very relieved to hand it over to him.

Wren admits that he is not familiar with naval warfare, and his experience in naval warfare is limited to a few firefights with pirates.

After that, he didn't have a place to systematically learn the knowledge of naval warfare, so when it came to the command of naval warfare, he would not skip Ogudo and directly issue instructions to everyone.

It's the same as skipping Captain Robert to issue sailing instructions and skipping Boss Tadoni to initiate navigation instructions.

Now the staffing of the [Dragon Eagle] is quite good, and it has rich experience in combat, driving, medical and navigation.

Skilled men are in command.

Many times, Wren felt that his head seemed superfluous.

There's no way, who makes himself have no extraordinary talent and no extraordinary physique, just an ordinary person.

Emotion is emotion, Wren will not show his mood in front of everyone,

As the head of the regiment, you have to be like the commander of the regiment and lead everyone to complete the task.

Wren pulled out his monocular and continued to observe the surrounding sea, which also made him admire Boss Tadoni's navigation skills even more.

Under the seemingly irregular currents, Boss Tadoni was able to accurately tell that there was a reef in that place.

What is the height of the reef and what is the height of the seabed nearby.

He can even accurately predict some desert islands that are not marked on the map within a certain range.

Even Captain Robert was greatly admired by Tardoni's skills, and the two were of similar age, and now they had become friends who talked about everything.

There was just a calm warmth in his heart, and the inexplicable sense of crisis woke up Wren again.

This is still the sea area of the [Ship Grave], and it is not good to be distracted and think about other things before leaving.

Leaving aside his praise for his fellow crewmates, Wren surveyed the surface again, this time with great concentration,

It is believed that any suspicious signs of a potential enemy will not be missed by him.
