Chapter 458: Overview and Selection of the Thirteen Seas
Sting looked surprised, looked left and right, everyone in the room was Ivo's old team, she didn't expect that she could be trusted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this time, Sting was wearing a classic assassin outfit, with long tan hair scattered and bangs covering the upper half of her face, and Ander quietly looked at her, his face slightly red.
Ivo doesn't care about being a traitor to the Sting Brotherhood, the Brotherhood has suffered a upheaval, and even Hades wisely breaks ties with the Brotherhood temporarily.
With the exception of Sting, everyone else sat upright, without question.
Sting stopped talking, but Ivo smiled when he saw this: "If you have any questions, just say it." ā
"I want to know...... What is your ultimate goal?" Sting explains: "Whether it's at sea or on land, there's always a reason to grow power. ā
Ivo smiled, "Need a reason?"
"Don't you need it?"
Ivo raised his eyebrows and pointed to the daggers tied to Sting's leather belt, "Then you practiced the way of assassins, is there a reason for that?"
"In order to protect myself, only strength can sustain my survival. ā
Ivo smiled, "My answer is the same, no matter what the goal is, no strength is empty talk, even if it is just to survive, it is necessary to develop power." ā
Sting nodded.
Ivo glanced at it, saw that everyone had no other questions, and said: "It seems that you all have no problem, then let me talk about the position first, now we have six ships, and each ship needs a person to give orders, the captain of the Changfeng is me, and the captain of the Baladine cruiser is Gordo...... Well, I didn't let him attend the meeting, Barlow, Hades, Ender, Rockhoof, the four of you are the captains of the armed merchant ships, and you will arrange the appointments on the ships yourself, and then you will each select those new people to serve as crew members. ā
"Rod, you used to be an instructor in Burning Horses, you and Rockhoof were both stormtroopers, and your usual duty was to train new recruits, and while the Hurricanes and Prisoners were good, I needed more combatants to replenish at any time. ā
"Gavin, you are the head of intelligence, you are always in charge of the situation of the ships, except for me, every captain of the ship has to report to you, organize the information and record it at any time, I need to know the daily changes in the fleet, and those big and small chores, you are all responsible, and you arrange the manpower yourself. ā
"Sting, I'll assign some new recruits to you for training, and it's your responsibility to teach them assassin skills, cultivate elites who are good at assassination, and hurry up to contact any Brotherhood traitors you know to see if there's any chance of wooing them in. ā
Everyone nodded, knowing their duties.
The crew has increased to more than 1,600 people, but only these few people are capable and trustworthy, and the other crew members are either not capable enough, or have not gained trust for the time being.
Starting from the Odin continent to leaving the North Continent, Ivo's power has increased to a point that cannot be ignored, and there are many capable soldiers under his command, and various materials worth billions of Benas, which have the foundation for initial development.
Ivo knocked on the table, so that everyone's attention focused on the chart on the table, and said in a deep voice: "We have manpower, materials, and warships, the next step is to gain enough status on the sea, establish strongholds, ports, and form a chain of interests, and the most important question is which sea area to choose." ā
Everyone was in good spirits and knew that the key had come.
The nautical chart shows a map of the whole world, five continents and thirteen seas.
Ivo said slowly: "The sea lacks supervision, the enemy cannot determine our whereabouts, we need to establish a chain of interests on the sea, and at the same time to avoid the pursuit of those kingdoms, regimes, and forces, the sea area to be selected must meet the two conditions of not being controlled by the overlord and being outside the major spheres of influence......
The five continents, North Frigga, West Odin, South Carthage, Southeast Muir, and Abraham are located in the northeast, which is the general direction.
Thirteen seas, Shenwangyang is located in the middle of the world, extending in all directions, but it is too vast, the islands are scarce, the weather in the sea is unpredictable, and there are a large number of unsolved mysteries, which are not suitable for development.
Abraham's Crescent Sea, the South Continent Narrow Sea and Atami, the Odin Continent Emerald Sea, the Muir Continent Gellert Sea, the Far Summer Sea, and the Misty Sea, these seven seas are entrenched in the pirate kings who control the sea, and their power is stable, and it is impossible to tolerate newcomers interfering in their interests, all of which are not suitable for Ivo's current situation.
The Frozen Sea is located within the control of the four kingdoms of the North Continent, although there is no Pirate King, but whether it is the Kui Frost Navy or the Great Pirates, they are very difficult, and it is too difficult to operate and not suitable for development if they want to be incognito in the Hokuriku area, which is the most well-known in Ivo.
The remaining four choices are the Mermaid Sea, the Ghost Sea, the Burial Sea, and the Shark Sea.
The Ghost Sea is a ghostly place, adjacent to the northwest of the Shenwang Ocean, not to mention the human population, not even many animals.
As the name suggests, the Mermaid Sea is the habitat of the mermaid tribe, located in the southern continent and the Muir continent, adjacent to the Atami and Gellert Seas, the mermaid charms the sailors with their songs, and it is impossible to prevent it, the fierce mermaid moves freely in the sea, can easily chisel through the belly of the ship, and hundreds of ships sink in the mermaid sea every year, Ivo himself is not afraid of mermaids, but the sailors under his command are not as strong as him.
The geographical location of the Shark Sea is very complex, adjacent to the eastern part of the Divine Hope Ocean, sandwiched in the center by the Divine Hope Ocean, the Frozen Sea, the Crescent Moon Sea, the Gellert Sea, the Mermaid Sea, and the Atami, and these six sea areas are connected, inhabiting a large number of sharks, so it is called the Shark Sea. Although it is connected to many seas, it is actually located far away from various continents, with few forces and a large area, with a climate between cold and hot, hot in summer and cold in winter, and four distinct seasons.
The Burial Sea is located in the west of the world, the whirlpool is continuous, it is a mysterious sea, there are countless navigators in history who traveled to the West, there is no news, this sea is buried with ships, dreams, and ambitions, so it is called the Burial Sea, one of the five legendary warships of the Storm Lamp, the last voyage is to the Burial Sea, that is the last record left by the Storm Lamp, disappeared in the depths of the Burial Sea.
"To sum up, we only have four options, the Mermaid Sea, the Ghost Sea, the Burial Sea, and the Shark Sea. Ivo looked around at everyone present and said slowly, "Which piece of sea do you think is better?"
Everyone looked at each other and knew it.
Ivo smiled, "Looks like there are no objections?"
Everyone smiled.
Ivo nodded, his fingers focused on the position of the "Shark Sea", and said in a deep voice: "As I thought, the most suitable for us is only this sea area!"
The ghost sea is uninhabited, the mermaid sea is full of dangers, the burial sea is mysterious, and the last shark sea is in line with the current situation in all aspects, far away from the major spheres of influence, but there are some connections, and it is in line with the conditions, Ivo wants not to live in seclusion, but to develop power while incognito, no matter from the perspective of resource supply and power infiltration, the shark sea is the most suitable.
Although the sharks in the shark sea are fierce, they are not as dangerous as the mermaid sea, at least there is no need to worry about being scuttled at any time.
There are many islands in the Shark Sea, the population is also quite large, and due to the characteristics of its main transportation routes, ships are densely populated, but they rarely stop, and the inherent power of the Shark Sea has always been very weak, and there is no navy, and piracy is not rampant...... After all, the adjacent Crescent Sea, Gellert Sea, and Atami all have pirate kings, diverting a large number of pirate forces.
And once you encounter a strong enemy, you can quickly transfer next to Shenwangyang, and you can't be safer anymore.
After discussing the pros and cons and refining their conjectures, Ivo finally decided to head to the Shark Sea.
Gavin suddenly asked, "Captain, since we have decided on the sea area, what is our position, maritime merchants, pirates, explorers?"
Ender wondered, "Is this important, isn't the captain's goal to control the island and develop power?"
Gavin said seriously: "No, positioning is very important, we know the captain's goal, but it is impossible to explain it to the crew in such detail, our positioning will determine the style of action, this is a very important point." ā
Everyone looked at Ivo with their eyes twinkle.
Is it piratery, or something else?
