Chapter 173 The Sea Burial Ground took five ships and ran to Nelson's side, and the room was immediately empty.

The Second Imperial Naval Fleet was reconditioned and sailed to the Second Channel to the northeast.

Jiang Yan boarded the bow deck and looked at the countless ships escorting around the steel battleship, and there was no end in sight.

"Although it is the Second Naval Fleet, the composition of the six fleets should be the same, right?

Jiang Yan's brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.

"Brother Jiang Yan, don't look at the ship mother and admiral, almost all of the outermost ones do not belong to the formation of the imperial fleet, and the number even exceeds that of the imperial fleet. ”

Behind him, Layla's figure didn't know when she appeared here, and seemed to see Jiang Yan's doubts, and said, "Some islands in the depths of the Dailuofu Star Island and the sea burial ground are like small empires, you know?"

"Hmm. ”

"The depths of the sea burial ground are only opened once every twenty years, which means that those admirals who stay inside can only trade with the outside world once every twenty years, and there are all kinds of rich sea treasures inside, and most of the admirals and ship wives who follow the periphery of the imperial fleet are for this purpose. ”

"Merchant~"

Among the information Jiang Yan received from Nelson, there was a time limit for the opening of the depths of the sea burial ground, and each time it lasted about two years.

If you miss this time, you will have to stay inside for the next twenty years, or you will not be able to enter the outside world.

"Brother Jiang Yan, I want to attend the meeting, let Kent take you around. ”

Layla obviously happened to pass by and saw Jiang Yan come over to say hello.

"No, I'll stay here and go down and rest. ”

"Oh well. ”

Jiang Yan turned around and looked at the sparkling sea water behind the steel battleship, and couldn't help but think of what Rodney said about the sinking of the moon.

Under the large group of mountains and cliffs with snow and ice, a powerful deep-sea dwelling concubine made tens of thousands of elite admirals of the Ship Niang Continent, as well as countless ship girls, return.

Her ability is to manipulate ocean currents.

And every sea burial ground outside the Jianniang continent has naturally formed countercurrents, and these countercurrents do not have a trace of gaps, which are called anti-tide circles by the admirals.

"Against the tide?"

・・・

At the beginning of the day, the Yaslan Imperial fleet reached the perimeter of the burial ground to the northeast, and the sky was covered with a light fog, and the sea turned a deep blue.

Five days passed, and the Imperial fleet crossed the outer seas and reached the Middle Circle.

I began to see starry islands, steel harbors, and ships and admirals on guard.

Even on the steel battleship, Jiang Yan felt the tense atmosphere here, not only these commanders and ship girls entrenched in the middle circle of the sea.

Even the Admirals of the Imperial Fleet are moving closely.

"You all listen, even if you want to withdraw from the depths of the sea burial ground, don't act on your own, you must retreat to the islands of the four imperial powers, find the Yaslan Empire Consulate, follow the arrangement of the person in charge of the garrison, and send you to the Central Circle Sea, the archipelago occupied by the Empire, and then send you back to the Imperial Sea together. ”

A rear admiral, personally summoned twenty-three admirals, and admonished.

Many of the admirals looked at each other, and they all saw the consternation in each other's eyes.

The rear admiral thought about it for a while, and although this matter was a bit of a loss of face for the Empire, he still decided to tell the reason too, lest these guys lose their lives at that time.

And, after staying in it for a long time, you can always learn this fact.

The rear admiral pointed to an island on the extreme edge of the Imperial fleet, and the island that had just passed by, and he could still see the figure of the Lady of the Ship, and said, "Do you see that island?"

"Yes!"

"Do you know what that island and the forces stationed on it mean to the fleets of the four empires?"

"It means pirates!" said the rear admiral solemnly: "Except for the archipelago where the four imperial forces are located, every island and every fleet force here is a pirate!"

"There are more ordinary pirates in the shadows, the two are only large-scale and small-scale differences, the fleet power of the island is okay to say, there is no big interest will not be easily dispatched, but those ordinary pirates who are at ease, once you are alone, you may be targeted. ”

As soon as this sentence fell, many admirals were shocked and their backs were cold, the situation in the sea burial ground was so serious!

Jiang Yan understands more clearly, but he doesn't care much about the fleet forces in the middle circle, and with the imperial fleet escorting, there is no need to worry about it at all.

Compared with the chaos in the middle circle, the situation in the anti-tide circle of the sea burial ground is much easier, because the deep-sea habitat ships there are extremely threatening.

In the past three days, a huge archipelago has appeared in the fleet's field of vision, which is the sphere of influence of the four empires in the Middle Circle Seas, and it is also the transit point of their respective empires and the depths of the sea burial grounds, the Moa Islands.

The sky over the archipelago is filled with tension and excitement.

In the center of each of the islands, there is a huge countdown timer, which now shows that the time is still seven days away.

The steel battleship dropped anchor, and then it was secured with iron chains, and everyone disembarked.

"Excuse me, how far is it from here to the anti-tide circle?" Karlsruhe asked a passing light cruiser.

"You can reach it in two days at normal speeds. ”

For the people living in the Moa Islands, the Admiral and the Shipwreck are the best guides.

Jiang Yan groaned slightly, and said, "Prepare the ship now, Oklahoma, counterattack, Helena." ”

"Yes!"

With Jiang Yan's current physical condition, three ships are installed in a row, two of which are even battle columns, and there will not be too many problems with the battle patrol.

Instructed the shipwrewn of the Imperial Fleet to take care of it, and the Jiang family fleet followed the guidance of a maid and settled down in a three-story house.

The Moa Islands are located in the belly of the sea, and storms often occur, and it is already the limit to build a house up to three floors.

Even, the first and second floors below are very simple, according to the service staff, the first and second floors are actually abandoned floors.

The waves set off by storms can often wash up the island and then to the height of the second floor.

Jiang Yan can be said to have seen another kind of life in this sea burial ground, and the perennial darkness has also caused some people to have pale skin for a long time.

Towards the early hours of the night, Jiang Yan was still looking at the three sea area maps that had been spread out, and from time to time he turned his head to explain something to Karlsruhe, who outlined and marked the sea area map with a thick red line.

Rodney knocked on the door and whispered:

"Young Master, my sister and Princess Layla are here. ”

"Huh, are they still coming over at this time?" Jiang Yan was puzzled, and temporarily put down the things in his hand and came to the living room.

Layla and Nelson were still dressed in formal attire and didn't seem to have rested today.

"Battleship Ship Lady, Nelson (revised), see Young Master. ”

Jiang Yan nodded at her, looked at Layla again, and asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, come over late at night, is there anything important?"

"Well, I'll make a long story short. Layla glanced at Nelson and said, "Big Sister Nelson and I just came back from two meetings and got the not-so-good news - something not so good has floated down the tide circle. ”

"Brother Jiang Yan, I would like to ask you to equip Big Sister Nelson, and on behalf of the royal family, I will temporarily return a triple 16-inch cannon and a modified triple 16-inch gun to Big Sister Rodney, just in case. ”
