Pitch black depths of the sea.

A transparent fluorescent creature that swims only on its tail tentacles makes a trail in the dark.

It's hard to tell what kind of strange-looking monsters this is.

The dark green ghost ship slowly sailed on the bottom of the sea.

A lantern lit on the stern illuminated a pale zombie sailor, who reached out of the ship's protective shield and nimbly grabbed a monkfish with fangs that happened to swim by.

One of those fluorescent trails that surrounds the side of the ship is one of them.

The zombie sailor grinned, and threw the fish back into the sea with a wicked face: "This little thing is really chic, uglier than Lao Tzu." ”

This kind of "lottery" type of activity is its biggest pastime.

In the middle of the deck, zombie sailors gathered around a clearing, carrying lanterns of all kinds, paper lakes, glass covers, and simply a green flame.

Underwater travel may seem to others to be romantic.

But if the journey is extended, it will lead to deep boredom - so the crew of the "Scourge of the Seas" is accustomed to finding pleasure in this boring voyage.

Right now, the deck is in the middle of the place.

The "Boss's Leader" is playing swordsmanship with a wolf cub, and the two sides are fighting so well that the undead sailors applaud.

Lothar leaped, and the glittering crosssword snapped down.

Hans had to take the blow several steps back, which drew even louder cheers from the sailors.

"Grown-ups are getting stronger."

Hans's face was full of admiration.

Lothar said secretly, your kid's acting skills are getting stronger and stronger.

His melee ability is blessed by the blood waterfall and bathing in dragon blood many times, which is not bad among the elite wolf clan, but compared to Hans, it is still a notch behind.

In the world of combat records, you can't gain experience by killing enemies.

But the luck black dragon also shows that becoming stronger in this world will also be fed back to the real world.

As a result, Lothar has been training with Hans and Curs every day these days, and he has also mastered the swordsmanship that comes with the Shining Cross Sword.

So people still have to push it.

If it weren't for the fact that he really had nothing to do, he probably wouldn't be able to calm down, except for meditation and swordsmanship every day, which was better before, but since the relationship with Prajna and Jeanna has gone further, he has become even more unsettled.

Captain Hogg stood in front of the captain's helmsman with a pipe in his mouth, and he didn't actually taste anything at all, but he was just used to it.

With the perception of the "Scourge of the Seas", Hogg could feel that the Axey ironclad above him was still moving at high speed, and even with the tireless undead sailors, the Scourge of the Seas could only catch up with the high-speed ironclad. And can't go beyond it.

"If Paul had been here, there would have been a chance to drag this iron lump to the bottom of the sea, but alas..."

Captain Hogg felt a little sorry.

The Ghost Ship has been crisscrossing the Mediterranean for hundreds of years, and it has barely encountered a few ships that can defeat the Scourge of the Seas at sea.

But as time went by, those indestructible, and even the ironclad ships blessed with extraordinary power, even Captain Hogg, who was known as the pirate king of the Mediterranean, felt a little powerless.

"But it's nothing."

"The enemy of pirates has never been the navy."

Captain Hogg could only console himself with this.

...

Fort Wolff, Texas.

The mountain path leading to the fortress has been widened.

Dozens of strong wolf clans, shouting neatly trumpets, transported a huge city cannon to the fortress.

Jeanne was a little surprised: "Where did you get the cannon?" ”

Texas is a big farm, and the military industry here cannot be said to be absent, but it is just a few small blacksmith-style workshops that can make some cold weapons.

Patriarch Giuliano explained: "Bought from New Orleans at a great price, it is a serious British Royal Navy active equipment, white crystal and gunpowder dual drive, each gun has to consume a medium quality white crystal, the power is quite good. ”

Jeanne said in her heart: I'm afraid it's not just about buying artillery, but also about verifying the authenticity of the wolf expeditionary force from the British intelligence dealers.

Jeanne sighed: "Those arms dealers are really rich and dare to sell anything. ”

Giuliano smiled bitterly: "It's just a fortress cannon, no matter how advanced it is, we can't put it on a warship and hit the British mainland." ”

North America is so chaotic, and it is absolutely inseparable from the British.

The English were far less greedy for land than the impoverished Tsarist Russia.

Texas, a fertile but sparsely populated place, is not in the eyes of the British unless there is gold buried underneath.

By far the greatest beneficiary of the Age of Discovery, the British controlled the richest land in the world.

But land alone is not enough, there must be enough manpower on it.

Therefore, Tianzhu in the East has become the most brilliant pearl on the head of the British king.

But you can't look down on it.

The British would not mind that the Americas were becoming more and more chaotic except for their own colonies.

It would be better for the warlords everywhere to fight each other so that they will never develop and pose a threat to the British colonies.

Giuliano lamented: "The money for this fortress cannon was originally intended to be used to build roads, but Lyonsos always complained to me that there was no road to the port in New Basilicata, which caused a lot of crops to rot in the warehouses every year. ”

"But now... If you lose, you don't need to build any roads. ”

Jeanne said thoughtfully: "Mr. Giuliano really cares about people's livelihood. ”

Giuliano smiled, "Maybe you think it's a little ironic - lo and behold, the wolf cubs who only know about destruction are like a group of farmers who think about whether the grapes in the fields can be transported to the winery before they rot."

But that's the way it is, it's a home that we and those ordinary people built together, and both we and they have a lot of love for this land. ”

"I don't think it's ridiculous."

Jeanne shook her head slightly.

"But it's ironic to think of those chaotic warlords."

The wolf clan's concept of good and evil is completely different from that of humans, but when the two deepen their understanding and are interdependent, the concepts of the two sides influence each other and merge with each other, and it will become a matter of course.

"Actually, there is nothing to be ironic, everyone is for themselves, the wolf clan protects the civilians, in exchange for taxes from them, and then uses it to build our own territory and accept more wolf clans, this is a virtuous circle."

"The more wolves there are, the more civilians you can shelter, the more wasteland you can reclaim, and the more civilians you have, the more wolves you can feed."

Giuliano's voice was sincere, very different from the image of Jeanne who had imagined a careerist.

Indeed.

The real careerist is not the villain image in film and television works, who looks gloomy and likes to hide in the shadows and ponder one conspiracy after another.

A true careerist needs to have an excellent personality.

Jeanne changed her words and suddenly asked, "What about Cellinina, and what role does she play in your ambition?" Is it a proton? Or do you have other considerations? ”

Giuliano's expression changed slightly, although he had tried his best to control himself and not think about it these days, but he also knew that since the wolf lord had decided to attack him, he would definitely not let Cellina go.

Even the patriarch of the Saluzuo family has a good personal friendship with him.

But in other words, he is in the position of the patriarch of Saluzuo, and it is impossible for him to disobey the wolf lord because of his friend's daughter.

The tradition of the wolf clan is to focus on the family.

For the survival of the family, even if it is his own clan, there will be no psychological burden when sacrificed, let alone just a foreigner.

I don't know if Cellynina will be able to escape unharmed.

He is very confident in this daughter's talent, but now he doesn't know how far Cellynina's strength has progressed.

It is conceivable that at most, it is the level of a centurion, and it is simply difficult to successfully escape under the pursuit of the enemy.

"I just didn't expect the wolf lord's reaction to be so violent."

Giuliano's tone was full of loneliness.

Not only him, but many of the Two Sicilian wolf clans didn't realize why the wolf lord suddenly wanted to attack the Basilicata family, this civil war happened too suddenly, beyond the expectations of most people.

"Don't worry, Cellynina didn't get caught."

Jeanne played with the flavor in her tone: "Do you know how we became friends?" ”

Giuliano was slightly stunned, and his tone revealed a little surprise: "It was the three of you who saved Cellynina?" ”

Jeanne shook her head and said, "Isn't that - have you heard of the giant ship that has traveled through the long river of time?" ”

A look of disbelief flashed in Giuliano's eyes, and he opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Jeanne.

"That's right, that's it, don't say it. We are actually from the future, and in that world line, without our help, you would have lost badly. Cellynina alone escaped the siege of the Yaxi family, and her potential was stronger than you thought. ”

Giuliano was silent for a while.

From Jeanne's lightly written tone, it was as if he had seen the sight of Texas corpses strewn all over the field.

"Cellina has always been very incompatible, and even resented you for provoking this war for your own selfish desires, and burying all the people of Basilikata."

Giuliano was stunned.

Jeanne added a rare seriousness to her tone: "It's not her fault, it's you who gave her the most traditional wolf education, and you never told her your philosophy, she doesn't understand you, it's normal." ”

"Indeed, it is my fault, I am not a good father."

Giuliano's expression was a little complicated: "And, she is right, I am indeed a not very honorable careerist. ”

Jeanne said with some regret: "Cellinina's talent is outstanding, and she is very valued by adults, if she stays in Texas to help you, I think she will definitely be a good helper." ”

"The sir?"

"That's right, the captain of yesterday's giant ship."

The corners of Jeanne's mouth are slightly upturned, and it always makes people feel relaxed and happy when they think of their own adults.

"He... Who is willing to help us and change history? ”

Jeanne said: "This is not changing history. ”

The combat record is only a part of the long river of interception, and no matter how the upstream changes, it will not affect the real long river of history.

"You can understand that the moment we arrive in this world, the long river of history divides into a new tributary, and no matter how the river flows, it will not affect the original direction of history."

Jeanna breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Giuliano, and hurriedly poured cold water and said: "But don't be happy too early, my family is just a weak incarnation, and the real battle has to rely on us." ”

Giuliano couldn't imagine how the captain of the giant ship that roamed the long river yesterday could be associated with the word "weak".

However, it is already an unexpected joy to have this kind of strong reinforcement.

Jeanne pointed to the wolves who had gathered from the foot of the mountain to transport all kinds of resources and supplies to the castle, and asked, "Speaking of which, are you planning to completely abandon the idea of fighting an ambush in the harbor?" ”

"That's right, if the expeditionary force comes, it will definitely take the Yaxi...... It was an ironclad ship with extremely fierce firepower, and the Wolf Federation's stronghold on the coast could not withstand its cannons. ”

The Wolf Federation is the new self-name of the wolf clan in the New World, and it is also the embodiment of abandoning the old family concept.

Right now, the wolf clan scattered all over Texas is rushing to Fort Wolf, and Giuliano is already planning to fight a big battle with the enemy here.

Giuliano added: "Before abandoning those strongholds, the Wolf Clan's mounted police will organize a large-scale cleanup of the wilderness monsters, although this should not last long, but it is also a helpless move. ”

Jeanne nodded, "I understand that your strength is limited, and five fingers must be clenched into a fist. ”

In fact, Giuliano can also give up the Texas that was built with great difficulty, and let the old wolf clan burn this place to the ground, anyway, the New World is so big, they can move to a new place in the middle of nowhere.

But if you do that, the blow to the morale of the "Wolf Federation" will be extremely huge.

The wandering wolf clan is still like rats in the sewer, they can't get on the stage, and they are driven away like rats by the high-ranking wolf clans, and they don't even dare to fight, so they have to give up the land they have cultivated for more than ten years.

When they arrive in a new place, will there be any wolf people willing to be as confident and energetic as they were when they first built Texas?

They may think: this is a temporary place to settle down anyway, and when the old wolf army arrives in the city, they will flee like lost dogs—what difference is there between those days and their own wandering?

Can the so-called "Wolf Clan Federation" really shelter its own people?
