Chapter 418: The Boiling Sea
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Tees's eyes opened weakly, and he found himself lying in a bedroom, covered in bandages, and every bone aching. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Where am I?" Tis tried to get up, but his whole body hurt as if he was being torn apart.
"Oh, Lieutenant Colonel Tees, you're finally awake. A physician walked over briskly and pressed Tees back to the bed, "You've broken forty-six bones, don't act until the healing potion takes effect." ”
Tees gasped, his last memory before losing consciousness was to catch Ivo's spear that seemed to destroy the world, he didn't expect to be able to pick up a life and come back.
After careful questioning, Tis learned from the doctor that an hour after Ivo left for the sea, thousands of reinforcements from the Odin Empire arrived in the port of Lutland and rescued the dying Tish.
A middle-aged uncle wearing armor and a mighty man walked in, and when Tis saw this person, he hurriedly gave a military salute while lying on the bed, "Lieutenant General Houghton." ”
Houghton Long Monian, commander of the Odin Empire's Far East Legion, was awarded the Order of Glory of the White Thorn three times and the Order of the Blue Bird once.
Horton looked serious and asked, "What is the specific process?"
Teese recounted the fight, and Horton's brow tightened.
"Lieutenant General, what are we going to do?
Horton shook his head, "I will truthfully convey the situation to the Odin Navy, although he is strong, but naval battles rely on ships, not personal strength." ”
As he spoke, Horton took out a bounty slip and handed it to Tees.
"This is a new bounty issued by the Empire. ”
Tis read it carefully, it painted Ivo's appearance, and wrote the information about Ivo's voyage, the conditions were more favorable than before, destroying Ivo's ships, killing Ivo can get a knighthood, a manor, a huge bounty, especially a new condition, if the sea criminal completes the bounty, the Odin Empire will pardon the crime, and issue a privateer license, protected by the Imperial Navy.
Tees was taken aback, "This bounty is also for pirates?"
Horton nodded, "Ivo Harriken is a greater threat than loose pirates, use pirates to deal with him, reduce our losses, pirates are all over the sea, he will have nowhere to escape, the Empire has sent people to issue bounties to various pirate ports, it won't take long to see results." ”
Tis was worried, "What if Ivo goes to another continent?"
"The Prime Minister has reached an agreement with the kingdoms that Ivo is unanimously wanted, and the whole world will have no hiding place for him. Houghton patted Teese on the shoulder, "You have done a good job, you have proved your ability, and the empire will not skimp on honor." ”
......
A pirate port in the Emerald Sea, where the streets used to be filled with violence and revelry day and night, have become very deserted, and there is not a single pirate to be seen.
Pirates cannot land in ports controlled by the kingdom, and the punishment for pirates in any country without exception is hanging, and the pirate harbor is a stronghold for pirates after transforming a desert island, open to all pirates and providing supplies.
Hundreds of pirate harbors are spread across thirteen seas, and there is a huge force behind the formation of such a large scale, which is the legendary pirate council that the dragon has no end in sight.
The Pirate Council is so mysterious that even the Brotherhood knows little about it, older than most kingdoms.
A huge fleet of green-bearded skull-headed flags sailed from the sea and docked at Pirate Harbor.
The Pirate King of the Emerald Sea, Rothschild Hingis, the "Tiger Shark Man".
Rothschild, dressed in dark green, stood at the bow of the ship, surprised at how empty the pirate port was, and said to the first mate beside him: "You go to the port to investigate." ”
The first mate soon returned, took Ivo's bounty list, and said, "This guy is the reason." ”
Rothschild laughed roughly, "I remember him, I didn't expect to do such an amazing thing." ”
"Captain, are we going after it too?"
Rothschild flicked his big whistle and said like a bell, "The reward of the Empire is none of my business! Only those little pirates who are not in the flow will want to curry favor with the Empire! Replenish the supplies and continue our voyage!"
......
Under the propaganda of the empire and the Holy See, the information that Ivo went to sea by boat quickly reached the ears of the major powers, compared to the land, the sea is a more complex environment, and Ivo, who only has one ship, in the eyes of many forces, is like a tiger that has abandoned its claws, and has become an opportunity.
Many pursuing fleets went to sea, not only the big powers, but also the joint bounties of the major kingdoms aroused the interest of countless privateer captains and pirates.
A bounty with only one ship is simply a walking treasure, and as long as the target ship is sunk, the emotionally changing sea will naturally show its cruelty.
After the bounty was issued, the steady sea became turbulent, and countless fleets of ships with different flags poured into the Emerald Sea, gradually forming a net of pursuit. Among them, piracy is the most rampant, and the number of attacks on passing passenger ships and merchant ships has become frequent.
The entire Emerald Sea boiled over because of the Empire's bounty.
......
The warm sun shone on the deck, and the Long Wind sailed slowly on the blue waters, very leisurely, but the sailors such as Yamo who worked on the deck were cold and cold, and felt that the future was bleak.
Ivo walked out of the captain's room, and Yamo hurriedly greeted him, with a flattering face, "Captain." ”
Ivo glanced at him, "What's the matter?"
Yamo squirmed and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Hokuriku. Ivo said lightly.
Yamo was dumbfounded, and his voice was frightened into pitch, "From, from the Odin Continent to Frigga?!"
"What, do you have an opinion?" Ivo squinted.
"No, don't dare. Yamo hurriedly replied, crying out in his heart.
Seeing Yamo's tangled appearance, Ivo smiled in his heart, and snorted on the surface, "Before we go, we need to resupply in Bell Harbor. ”
Bell Port is a small port in the northeast of the Odin Continent, and it is also the meeting place decided by Ivo and Barlow, Ender, and Hades, and he can only let Nafi, who is practicing, stay in the Odin Continent temporarily.
"Bell Harbor?" Armo rolled his eyes, thinking that this was an opportunity to escape.
Just as he was calculating, Ivo's cold eyes looked at him, as if he had seen through his thoughts, and Yamo trembled with fear.
"Don't do anything stupid. Ivo said lightly.
Yamo hurriedly lowered his head, his face covered with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to think about anything else.
After sending Yamo away, Ivo leaned against the railing and looked out to sea, listening to the sound of the crashing waves and thinking about his next steps.
Most of the assets are in the North Continent, and he must go back, nine sailors are not up to the standard of ocean voyages, he needs to recruit more manpower, Yamo is only the first mate, the second officer, the third officer, navigator, physician, gunner, etc. are still free.
And the voyage will not be stable, a long wind may not be enough, and a spare ship must be prepared.
Ivo touched his chin and thought secretly: "Not only materials, but at least some powerful ship warfare weapons, such as alchemy cannons or something...... "He has studied navigation and is familiar with the mode of naval warfare, although he is strong, but the ship is the foundation of survival on the sea, once the ship is broken, no one can escape the judgment of the sea.
Unless...... Become a sea creature.
Ivo is a little entangled, he is almost twenty years old, he can fuse the next bloodline, the sky and the sea creatures are in his consideration, do you want to fuse a sea creature as a guarantee?
Even if you want to fuse, you have to meet a creature that is strong enough, and it still depends on luck.
Just as he was thinking about the problem, a medium-sized pirate ship sailed in the distance, quickly approached the Long Wind, and opened fire from a long distance, and the long crossbow bolts hit the sea, stirring up waves.
There were thirty or forty pirates on the other side's ship, brandishing sailors' knives and laughing wildly, "Hand over the treasure on board, we will spare you from death!"
Ivo's eyes lit up, and it happened that he was short of a crew, which was really sleepy Someone sent a pillow, and immediately ordered: "Turn around, and engage them in a broadside battle." ”
The Long Wind turned its head and rushed towards the pirate ship.
The pirates saw the number of people on the deck of the Long Wind with contempt.
"There are only ten people, are you looking for death!"
"The gunners cease fire, don't damage their ship, it's our trophies. ”
Listening to the cries of the pirates, Yamo and the others showed gloating expressions.
Unlucky people are always happy to see others unlucky together.
