Chapter 40: Captain

The battle lasted all afternoon, and it was not until the evening sun set over the sea that the shouts of killing and gunfire gradually faded away.

Mu Yun did not continue to participate in the battle, and the moment the battle team of No. 412 eliminated the decoy ship pirates, the pirate captain's plan had already failed.

In order to reduce the losses, Mogg chose to extend the duration of the encounter, during which the pirate flagship tried to break out of the stalemate several times, but was stuck by 412.

After the battle group returned to the ship, they easily repelled the landing pirates while their morale was high, and the pirate captain tried to evacuate temporarily, but the mast was destroyed by Mogg, who was fighting on his own ship, so that the pirate ship could only float helplessly on the surface of the sea.

Whenever the pirates tried to repair the mast, Mogg, who had returned to the warship, would order the artillery crew to open fire at full strength, and finally even the knives, forks, wooden thorns and other miscellaneous items were loaded into the barrels, and the two sides remained in a stalemate until the successful arrival of No. 417.

The captain of the 417 is also a lieutenant colonel, and his strength is only a beginner-level knight, but it is enough to overwhelm the scales of victory and defeat.

Two knights captured the pirate captain.

Not all the officers of the navy are knights, in fact, most of the officers are actually civilians, and they are an indispensable and important part of this system, because the high-level transcendents of the nautical world can be heaped to death by numbers, so strength does not mean all.

Someone's assessment of this is not strong enough, and there are too many variations in alchemy and sea treasures.

In the captain's room, Mogg slumped motionless in his chair, looking like he was dead, his wounds had been treated by the ship's doctor, and he had run out of fighting spirit twice in this naval battle.

Mu Yun was also lazily lying on the chair opposite, and his status on the ship had been significantly improved.

"More than 150 people died, almost everyone left was wounded, and it was already very difficult for the ship to sail, but the pirate death toll was close to 500, two fifth-class ships were captured, and two knights were killed and one captured, you did a good job in this battle."

Mogg stuck his neck on the back of his chair, stared at the ceiling and said, of course, he is not sad, what is the matter with the death of some sailors, the port has a lot of tricks, as long as the remuneration is sufficient, there is nothing to be guilty about, and if you choose to be a naval sailor, you must be mentally prepared to die in the sea.

What he was thinking about at this point was the distribution of the spoils.

Mu Yun nodded, and then poured a sip of rum, no one has time to boil water at this point in time, the kind of rotten water with insects and green moss really can't accept it, he would rather drink.

"How's the injury?" Mogg asked.

"Does it matter?" Mu Yun replied.

Mogg smiled and said, "You can probably become a captain directly this time." Killing nearly a hundred pirates and a knight rank is actually enough to promote major, but you know, some things are not enough by just one battle, and the military department can't make the rank seem too cheap, which involves the fundamental question of the army's sense of honor, but the specific reason has nothing to do with me, just to tell you my judgment. ”

Mu Yun thought for a moment and said, "So I have to take the initiative to give steps, such as the kind of credit that has a very good reputation and doesn't have much practical significance." ”

Mo Ge bowed his head, his eyes became more and more satisfied, "As long as you find the right direction, it will be quite easy for you to be promoted to major, and you are very young, you are innocent, you made a great contribution on the first board, and killed the knight level as a trainee knight, and the other party happened to be the bad nature of the sneak attack, the most important thing is that the appearance is excellent, and the military department will deliberately set you up as a model." ”

What became an idol in another world...... Mu Yun secretly complained and said, "What about the loot." ”

Mogg laughed playfully: "The first mate found a deposit on the pirate flagship, the captain was afraid that in case of no one and no money chose to bring the gold coins on the ship, in short, the loot is very rich, but the military department wants to take a quarter, I am the captain to take a quarter, and in the remaining half, no one should say anything if you take a third, who let you run halfway to rest." ”

"That's a fatal wound."

"Assassinated by a knight-level, it's good to survive, I guess that the other party judged that you have the potential to become a big knight, so he decided to give up the battle, after all, the importance of the task can be judged from the intensity of our resistance, there may be nothing more than a few, in fact, if the assassination fails, he may choose to recruit, but unfortunately you didn't give the other party a chance."

Mu Yun thought back to the Admiral Mayer he heard in the secret treasure, the second command room of the Imperial Navy may have been monitoring the battle situation, if the pirate captain can succeed, they can be sure of the first-hand information, the man's decision may not be intentional.

Mogg looked at the young man in front of him, and the other party would become his colleague sooner or later, so he reminded him many times uncharacteristically.

"Two pirate ships were to be thrown into the Battle of Bona as a reserve for the entry of the fleet. According to the distribution and the results of the battle, I have all the qualifications for the appointment of the decoy ship, and the pirate flagship will be directly headed by the commissioner sent by the Night's Watchman, and we and 417 will have one first mate and second officer respectively. ”

Mu Yun looked at the other party's rubbing fingers, and said with a smile: "As a crew member, I should contribute to No. 412, and it is better for the captain to take care of that trophy." ”

"Your share of the loot is worth around 450 gold coins."

"I prefer to be a captain."

Mogg bowed slightly, took the alchemical musket from his waist and handed it over.

"Gift back, I can report the battle damage of this thing, remember not to say it."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

The dirty deal is done, although someone has enough military achievements, but for the first time on the ship, he has not mastered any professional knowledge, and he is obviously not qualified to become the captain of a fifth-class ship, but in the state of long-distance voyage, Mogg can go alone, and the military department and the Night Watch Lone have already taken the first command of the pirate flagship, so they will not be too careful.

……

Two days later, a clipper ship approached the makeshift formation, and the major sent by its flagship arrived.

At the same time as the other party arrived, he also carried the promotion documents and corresponding uniforms of the military department.

This time, Mu Yun became a captain as Mogg expected, and after becoming the captain, he received a grant of 100 gold coins from the military department to recruit sailors to form a formation, and they would make the only replenishment on the voyage in the public seaports on the border between the kingdom and the empire.

The Prager seaport was nominally part of the Empire, but in fact it was semi-independent due to the intervention of the League of Kingdoms, and there was no thought of further interference from either side due to the huge border trade brought by the public seaport.

Mu Yun boarded the bait boat with thirty veteran sailors, and Kane also came over.

"I can help you recruit sailors, but I'll need to operate in this harbor for a while."

He did not intend to stay on the 412 any longer, the fourth-rank ship needed to escort the flagship straight into the center of the battlefield, far less safe than the reserves.

"Yes, you're the first mate now."

"Huh?"

Mu Yun casually issued the appointment, and he had achieved his goal.
