The two ships sailed on the frozen sea, and the helmsman carefully avoided the rising and sinking icebergs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the north of the world, the sea breeze brings snow and the cold is bone-chilling.

The northern sky was icy blue, like translucent ice cubes hanging upside down, and even the wind was white.

The deck and sides of the ship were covered with hoarfrost, and the sailors were wrapped in two layers of padded jackets, and they worked tremblingly on the ship.

In the captain's room with candles burning, Ivo is holding a scimitar, carefully shaving his beard in front of an ice mirror, more than four months of sailing, from west to north across the endless ocean, from the Odin continent to the Friga continent, after a long time, the beard will grow, although most men in the world like to have a beard, Ivo feels that it looks too dirty, or shaved clean.

In the mirror is a twenty-year-old man, whose once immature face has now become angular, masculine and hard, and the years pass quietly and silently, like sand in his hands.

Ivo put down his ice mirror and walked out of the captain's quarters, where the silhouette of Hokuriku appeared at the end of the sea level in the distance, and he pulled out his communication badge and contacted Gavin.

"Gavin, where are you?"

"Lord Ivo, we're docked on a desert island, coordinates are ......"

Ivo raised his eyebrows, took out the nautical charts to compare, and found that the distance was not far, so he immediately ordered to turn.

About four hours later, a desert island was discovered, and the two ships rounded the channel, where they found that an improvised shelter had been built, and four medium-sized Gaelic galleons were docked, and on the pier stood a group of men who had come to greet them, headed by Gavin.

The Long Wind and the Palatin sailing ship entered the port smoothly, Ivo walked up to the dock, and Gavin immediately stepped forward, his face excited, "Boss, long time no see." ”

Ivo patted Gavin on the shoulder and smiled encouragingly, "You've done a great job, you've done a great job." ”

Gavin was flattered, "It's a matter of subordination. Seeing that the sailors of Ivo's fleet were shivering with cold, he was so impressed that his men brought out steaming and large jars of rum to entertain the sailors.

Gordo, who looked always down, had a bright eye, unceremoniously grabbed a can of rum and gave Gavin a thumbs up, "Although I don't know who you are, I'm optimistic about you." ”

The sailors cheered and rushed up, devouring them like starving ghosts.

Yamo bit the pig's trotter and said vaguely: "Captain, did you find out in your conscience and finally remembered us?"

"Eat yours, don't talk nonsense. Ivo laughed and kicked Yamo's ass, and Yamo smiled, dismissive, and buried his head in eating.

Ivo and Gavin are away from the crowd, and Gavin looks grim and reports on his business.

Due to the Empire's wanted Ivore, the Hurricane Chamber of Commerce ceased operations for more than half a year, went into hiding, and returned to the Frozen Sea after receiving Ivo's orders, and the desert island at his feet was a temporary stronghold built by Gavin, where all supplies were stored.

It included all kinds of daily necessities, rare goods, and a large amount of money, which was worth about 1.7 billion Benas, which was a huge amount of money, as well as four improved merchant ships.

Most of the personnel of the Hurricane Chamber of Commerce were dismissed, and the remaining more than 400 people were all loyal subordinates, not only members of the Chamber of Commerce, but most of them were capable subordinates of the Hurricane Regiment, intelligence officers, combat personnel, and special personnel.

Under Gavin's management, the intelligence network of the Hurricane Regiment has spread over most of the Hokuriku, and it is temporarily in a semi-suspended state, which is to save money, due to the secrecy of the intelligence network, the kingdom of Hokuriku cannot uproot the intelligence network of the Hurricane Regiment.

Ivo thought secretly, 1.7 billion assets, plus Magellan's treasure of 1 billion treasures, is enough to pull up a large fleet, and he also has a share of assets left in the Harrican Line of the Kingdom of Lasses, the mercenary group and real estate shop business run by Rockhoof, the latter is the big one, probably more than two billion.

"Gavin, I asked you to contact Rockhoof, how is the situation on his side?"

"I was about to say this," Garvin's tone became low, "since your lordship was wanted, the kingdoms put pressure on Lasses, King Severn III sent troops to seize the brothers in the Harrican Line, confiscated our assets, and imprisoned eight hundred people in the dungeon, including Rockhoof. ”

Ivo's expression turned cold, "They didn't resist?"

"No, the Harrican Line is the royal city of Lasses today, and the Unicorn Legion of the garrison is outnumbered, and in order to reduce losses, Rockhoof chose to be captured. ”

"He did the right thing. Ivo nodded slowly, not feeling good in his heart, when the Kingdom of Lasses was facing the catastrophe, it was he who turned the tide and built the famous Harrican Defense Line that shook the North Continent, and made it a royal city by himself, but now the king said that he would turn his face, like a white-eyed wolf, even if Ivo knew that this was the result of pressure from other empires, he still felt unhappy.

There are pros and cons to everything, he agreed that the Harrican Line became a royal city, because he took a fancy to the huge interests behind it, at that time, no one could have imagined that the situation would develop to the point where it is now, but it has created difficulties for the present, Ivo has no ability to predict, this is also a helpless thing, it is like an equivalent exchange, gaining benefits and taking risks.

"But Severn III didn't execute them, as if he was taking them hostage, and according to the intelligence network, the king probably wanted to make a deal with you......" Gavin said again.

Ivo smiled faintly, "Doesn't he just want to take back the title and the Golden Cross given to me, in return, he will at most create a defensive hole in the royal city, let me rob the prison and take away Rockhoof, he doesn't dare to release people in the open, and other countries are staring at him." ”

"My lord, what are your plans for the future?"

Ivo folded his hands, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The top priority is to take the stone hoof first, they carry a lot of supplies, and they have to delay on land for a long time. Even if Severn III might come to a deal with me, be wary of him repenting, and he might send a message to Barria and Reynolds to set me a trap that would kill me, and those two kingdoms would like me to die without a place to be buried. ”

There are three difficult steps to rescue the companions in the Harrican Line, the first is to rescue his subordinates and take away the supplies, even if Severn III has the intention to trade, he must be prepared for a big battle, which can only be done by Ivo.

Second, after rescuing Shihoi and others, due to the huge amount of supplies, it takes one to two months to travel on land and go to the beach to board the ship, during which they will encounter the encirclement and suppression of various forces, which is the most dangerous step.

Finally, in order to avoid the land team not having to pass through the border of the Kuishan Kingdom, the receiving fleet cannot dock at the port of the Kuishan Kingdom, and it is best that no one can think of finding a suitable docking position.

The situation was difficult, so Ivo had to look ahead and be fully prepared to go to the rescue, to consider the location of the ship to the shore, and to pull up a team of guards who could handle thousands of troops, and the conditions were harsh.

Ivo took out his map, frowned and pondered, looking for a suitable place to moor.

After looking around, a bold idea appeared in his heart, his eyes lit up, and his fingers focused on one location, "The fleet can dock here!"

Gavin glanced at it, his whole body trembled, and his expression was surprised, "Are you sure?"

Ivo nodded and glanced at him, "Have a little faith in your boss, okay?"

Gavin gasped and reconfirmed the location of Ivo's finger, and suddenly looked bitter, yes, it was indeed the Northland Corner.

The extreme north of the continent of Fliga, the end of the Cold Night Mountains, the Cape of the Northland!
