Standing on a headland known as the Cape of the Continent, Zhou Zhongmou looked at the looming landscape across the strait—the sea fog and gloomy weather made visibility poor. "Hell, the last time I came, I forgot to ask about the time to cross the strait. The guy complained about his carelessness. The Novaya Zemlya Strait, which is about 40 kilometers long, is about 2 kilometers wide at its narrowest point, about 10 kilometers at its widest point, and has an average water depth of more than 1,000 meters.

Over the years, thanks to the brave maritime merchants and fishermen who have measured this strait with their lives, the big guys know that the water depth is relatively normal where the shore extends for about a few hundred meters, about 30 to 60 meters deep, and when it comes to the central area, there will be a straight trench, and the depth is exaggerated.

Therefore, there are still all kinds of sea kings in the strait, but most of those large sea kings can only swim in the middle of the strait, and the narrowest place can even only pass through guò and cannot toss left and right - they will run aground. Therefore, this is the best place to spend the strait, but it should be placed in the winter when the sea kings are relatively rare. The sailors of the sea boats who beg for a living here have mastered the skills of knowing whether there is a knoptune with guò, the changes in the sea breeze and the seawater, and the behavior of seabirds and fish. By providing transportation services for travelers and merchants traveling between Novaya Zemlya and the mainland, these guys also made a lot of money - and there were quite a few business trips to and fro, because Novaya Zemlya was still a place of semi-chaos and half-order. As a result, many exotic minerals and herbs are produced. It can provide magicians with a lot of magical research objects and raw materials.

And now is the rare time of winter when the sea kings are active. It will take half a month to be the right time to cross the sea. The price of crossing the strait is certainly not cheap, and it is even more expensive if you want to transport the carriage there. So Zhou Zhongmou and Misha could only sell the carriage in their hands at a low price, and borrowed a room in the town to wait—since many people would sell their original carriages here, the profiteers here had another way to make money, buying the carriage at a low price and selling it at a high price

During this time, the news from the Belken Empire was also dizzying-the Belken Empire and the Yuctobania Empire attacked the Ballan Kingdom from both sides under the pretext that the Ballan Kingdom had invaded the South Yuctobania Kingdom.

The Belken Empire, known as the world's largest alchemy technology in this empire, has been advancing all the way, and the centaur cavalry of the Balan Kingdom, known as the world's unparalleled ground assault power, were bloodied in front of the Belken Empire's giant god soldiers and constructs, and their habitual cavalry continuous assault was torn to pieces by the magic cannonballs that fell like a torrential rain before the assault. During the assault, they also have to endure the strafing of the dense number of small magic cannonballs of the Titan and the Structure, and finally drink the hatred of the exaggerated melee magic weapons of the sturdy Titan and the Structure. Before the battle, they will have to endure the attacks of the Wyvern Construct on their formations, logistics troops, and servant armies in the sky

For a while, the centaur cavalry didn't know how to deal with the new battle mode of the Belken Empire, they just couldn't solve how to attack the Belken Empire's constructs and titan soldiers, if they met the Belken Empire's infantry, it would still be slaughter, and with the courage of the centaur cavalry, they had also repelled the Berken Empire's insufficient number of giant soldiers and constructs several times. But in the overall situation, the main force of the western front of the entire Balan Kingdom is being outflanked and encircled.

However, the centaur cavalry on the Eastern Front did very well against the large army of the Yuctobania Empire, and under the command of the newly released centaur generals and the Lesser Macevsky brothers, the centaur cavalry swept through the army of the Yuktobanian Empire many times with their outstanding mobility and strong shock ability, forcing them to lag far behind the Belken Empire on the Western Front, when the Belken Empire began to assault the Vistula River defense line. The Imperial Army of Yuctobania penetrated less than sixty kilometers into the borders of the Balan Kingdom.

Just as it was time to set off, the more prosperous town of Simmelsdorf was set on fire by the latest battle report put up by the town hall. Crowds of people of the Belken Empire carried lanterns and paraded through the streets all night - in the just-concluded siege of the Vistula River Valley, the largest constructive army of the Belken Empire annihilated the main force of the western front of the Ballan Kingdom, broke through the Vistula River defense line, and was only one step away from Warsaw, the capital of the Ballan Kingdom. More than 90,000 of the Ballan kingdom's army was annihilated in the battle, and more than 20,000 of the 40,000 killed were centaurs, who eventually surrendered - and after suffering more than half of the adult centaurs, they finally laid down their weapons in exhaustion.

At this time, the centaur cavalry, which was in a good situation on the Eastern Front, also had to abandon the defensive line and return to defend the capital, and took this opportunity to change the front commander, quickly mobilized and replenished the front-line soldiers and put into reserve, and the Imperial army of Yuctobania took the opportunity to break through the defense line of the centaurs, and finally crushed the centaurs of the entire eastern front in the pursuit - the capital was threatened, and the destruction of the Western Front almost crushed the morale of the entire centaur Eastern Front army.

After crushing the army on the eastern front of Ballan with losses several times greater than the casualties of the centaurs, the Imperial Army of Yuctobania joined forces with the Imperial Army of Belken in the northern and southern salients. According to the prior agreement, the battle to capture Warsaw was to be undertaken by the Berken Empire, and Warsaw was to be occupied by the Berken Empire afterwards, and the eastern part of Warsaw was occupied by the two empires on the Oder River.

Zhou Zhongmou felt that this was really his grandmother's familiarity, a sense of immediacy that the world was copying the Second World War on Earth. But he didn't care about, and the ship they had booked was about to leave.

Even in the off-season, which is now known as the Sea Kings, the ship is still sailing very carefully - due to the threat of the Sea Kings, the ships used to cross the strait are all small boats with a deadweight capacity of more than 100 tons, and the world has once again shown a shameless copy of the earth - the two-breasted and narrow hull of the clippers are light in weight but very agile and fast, they will cross the strait for two kilometers in the shortest time, and there will be multiple round-trips in a day, that is, to run as many times as possible while the Sea Kings are not present. And this damn ship type Zhou Zhongmou is very sure that he has seen it in Age of Exploration 2

When embarking and disembarking, the attitude of the sailors and captains was very urgent and bad, and the passengers who walked slowly were almost kicked off by them. Of course, the unloading action is also very rough, lest the speed be too slow - of course, the above qiē does not apply to the rich and powerful.

Zhou Zhongmou set foot on the land of Novaya Zemlya, and the fog of the sea covered the land, and for a moment it was dimly visible, but the dim light guided the way forward - they would stop at Anddorf, the largest town of the Belken Empire on Novaya Zemlya. (To be continued......)
