Chapter 264: Voyage
Once Sawan decided, he decided to implement it, and that's his style and why he's where he is today. When his men heard that he was going on a long voyage, they were very worried, and now that Haydonnis's fleet had just been formed, there was not only a shortage of experienced captains, but also a shortage of sailors, and now that the war was raging, it would be terrible if he traveled far away as the supreme commander.
Both Larry and Alvin objected to Swain's plan, and Larry said, "The sea is different from the land, and if there is a storm or something, even if you have great skills, it is useless, so I am against this operation." ”
Alvin also felt the same way, but he was more worried that Savin would delay the decision after he left, but Savin's words blocked the words of both of them, "Don't worry about decision-making, I have a sound transmission crystal with me, and you can contact me through the crystal at any time if there is anything." As for safety, rest assured, no one can help me at sea. ”
Seeing that Sawin's attitude was very resolute, the two knew that they could no longer make Sawin change his mind, so they had to follow his instructions and began to prepare for the voyage. Savan did not intend to conquer Ellul Island on this voyage, mainly to find out the local situation, so he ordered that only two cargo ships were needed, and there were not too many people, Larry and Alvin did not need to accompany them, only a small number of soldiers were enough.
Sawan originally wanted to bring Cereya with him, but after thinking about it, it would be better to keep this "special weapon" with the most powerful mobility, so that Celiya could provide quick support if a certain legion needed it. So in the end, Sawan only took 200 soldiers and a few magicians with him on the journey.
On the day of the voyage, many people gathered on the docks, and Larry, Alwin, Voss and others came to see them off, and Sawin gave them all the instructions and drank a large glass of wine with them, and then set foot on the big ship. With a crisp sound of bells, the two large cargo ships slowly sailed out of the dock and headed for the endless sea.
Sawan was an impatient, and soon after the ship had left the harbor, he called Lawne over. Sawin ordered, "Lawn, hurry up and blow the wind, this ship is going too slowly." ”
Lawn, who majored in wind magic, had traveled a lot since following Savan, and his knowledge had increased a lot more than before. He looked at the towering mast and sails, and said with some concern: "My lord, I am afraid that the wind is too strong for this ship to stand it." ”
Sawin laughed, "Haha, you've actually learned to brag too." ”
Lawn is an honest man who can brag, he shook his head and said: "My lord, I didn't brag, the wind element on the sea is abundant, and I am worried that an ordinary wind magic will have a multiplied effect, so I am worried that this ship will ......"
Sawin was a little embarrassed to see that Lawne said this, so he called Captain Peso and asked, "Captain, how much wind can this ship withstand?"
Pei Suo thought for a moment and said, "The kind of wind that can blow the cow away is definitely not good, but the wind that can blow away the chickens and ducks should be fine." ”
Sawin nodded and said to Lawn, "Now you understand. ”
Lawn smiled bitterly, nodded helplessly and said, "I...... At last...... I see. ”
Raun came to the stern of the ship and chanted a spell silently, and a cool breeze soon blew on the calm sea, since Sawan began to practice spiritual magic, although he could not feel the fluctuations of the natural elements around him, but through the perception of the spiritual elements, he could still feel that major changes were about to occur around him.
Savin hurriedly said to the soldiers: "Go back to the cabin, the wind is about to blow." ”
At the command of the ship, except for the captain and the sailors, they all hurriedly took refuge in the cabin, and a moment later the sails of the two large ships were blown up by the wind that had already blown around. At this time, Lawne was heard shouting, "Hurricane sweeps the way!" With the shouting, a rapidly rotating tornado gradually formed on the sea behind the ship, chasing the big ship all the way.
Seeing this, the captain was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered the sailors to put away part of the sails, while he held the steering wheel tightly, not daring to relax in the slightest. The two big ships began to move quickly with the strong wind, and the waves on the sea also became violent, and the big ships kept shaking up and down, sailing through the waves into the distance.
Sawin deliberately brought a few more wind magicians with him this time, and when Raun was tired, he replaced others, and these young magicians also worked hard to perform well, so all kinds of wind magicians made a move, and kept pushing the big ship forward quickly.
At first, the captain was a little worried that the wind magic would overturn the ship, but after some time, the captain finally relented, and the magicians controlled it well, allowing the ship to speed up without damaging the ship with magic. So the captain turned his mind to the helm, and no longer paid attention to the magic that followed the ship.
With the help of the magician, the speed of the two large ships was two or three times faster than that of ordinary ships, and it only took them five or six days for the other ships to travel for half a month. Half a month later, the big ship of Sawan and the others had already rounded the southernmost point of the mainland, and this was the place where Sawen and Eliza had landed on the mainland.
Although he couldn't see the shore at this time, Sawan still sighed in his heart when he looked at the sea in the distance, although it was only for a short time, but it made people feel like a world away. Samhain didn't let himself get caught up in this mood for long, and he quickly retracted his thoughts and turned his attention back to Ellul.
He had always carried the book that Alwyn had lent him to Savan, and he had to look through it when he could, and had seen many anecdotes about the continent from the book, but there were very few records about Ellul Island. According to the records in the book, the so-called wild people on Erior Island are actually human beings, but because of their beliefs, culture, and other reasons, they are incompatible with other people, so they have been ostracized by other humans.
However, these so-called wild people are also really tough, and they have refused to give in for thousands of years, preferring to live on the desolate island of Ellul all the time than actively integrate into human society. Not only that, but these savages also crossed the sea and invaded as soon as they had the time, plundering the villages along the coast, causing great distress to the countries of the west coast.
Sawan thought secretly: "These savages should be quite strong, otherwise they can't rely on this little people to disturb the peace of so many countries, if these people can be subdued, it should be an extremely strong combat force......
The ships bypassed the southernmost part of the continent and began to turn around and move northwestward, and the temperature slowly began to drop along the way, and many soldiers found their thick clothes to change. But the sailors were accustomed to it, and still wore thin clothing that was good for their work, as if they were not afraid of the cold at all.
After walking for nearly ten days, the weather became colder and colder, and a touch of black gradually appeared at the junction of sea and sky in the distance, and the land finally entered everyone's field of vision again. Captain Pesso looked at the charts, then at the land ahead, and finally he said with certainty: "This should be it, we have reached the island of Ellul." ”
As soon as Captain Pesso announced this, the whole ship cheered at the same time, for the sailors it might have been just a smooth voyage, but for the soldiers the arduous journey finally reached its destination, and the excitement was far stronger than that of the sailors.
Pesso ordered the sailors to slow down and keep an eye on the reefs in the sea, and then he said to Savan: "My lord, I suggest that you do not rush to the island, and it is better to send a small boat to investigate it first, after all, this is the territory of the savages, and it is rare for humans to come to this place. ”
Sawan knew that Pesso's suggestion was right, and he didn't know what to expect when he landed on the island, but he didn't plan to send a small boat to investigate.
"You choose a safe place to park the boat, and I'll go ashore and check it out myself," Savin said. ”
When Pei Suo heard this, he waved his hand again and again, "This is not good, my lord. It's too dangerous to do that!"
Pesso was working with Sawan for the first time, so he didn't know much about him. Sawan smiled, "You don't have to worry about me, you just need to think about the safety of the ship." ”
With that, Savin put his sword behind his back, and with a light touch of his feet, he slowly floated into the sky and flew towards the island of Erul.
