Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 212: The Meritorious Ranking
"Raise the sail and set sail!"
After the storm was over, Iwen gave an order.
Two sea ships sailed side by side to the sea, standing on the stern of the "Conch" watching the island gradually disappearing from the end of sight, Ivan had completely calmed the waves of choosing the wizarding road.
Before leaving, he commanded the sailors to completely destroy the exposed artificial structures on the island, and all the wooden houses built by the "Sharktooth Pirates" were also burned down. Judging from the growth rate of the vegetation on the island, it will not take long for the island to regenerate into a completely deserted island.
The power of nature will help oneself remove the last trace of human existence on the island.
Then this island that will change its future will silently wait for its return in the sea. At that time, he will reactivate this super giant rock golem "Mountain Giant"!
And the one who accompanied the "Conch" was naturally Aiwen and their trophy pirate ship: "Thumb."
Although this pirate ship is not a standard model like a Tier VI warship, it is already quite impressive in terms of its size and the firepower of 30 shipborne artillery.
Although the hull was slightly damaged in the previous battle with the "Reef", the ship-borne artillery was mainly of small caliber of 9 pounds, 6 pounds or even 3 pounds, but strictly speaking, it is no longer comparable to the sixth-tier warship "Conch". "Number" is much worse.
In line with the principle of making the best use of everything.
Ivan rushed to the "Conch" to serve as the interim captain, the only school-level officer, Milan, besides himself.
Then the officers and soldiers of the "Reef" who were inconvenient to see more of their secrets were assigned to him, and a group of sailors were transferred from the "Conch" to restore the combat effectiveness of the pirate ship.
I didn't want to act with other people, first because of the unclear distinction of merits, and second because of the fear of revealing my secrets. If there is another hunt for "One-eyed Betsy", it will be a headache for scammers like the "Warrior".
But now that these sailors have been incorporated, the situation is naturally different.
Although the number of personnel has not increased much, and their melee combat ability is not in Aiwen's eyes, at least they have doubled the firepower of their warships!
However, the ammunition reserves of the two warships are now severely shorted, and the top priority is to restore the combat effectiveness of the warships.
"Target: St. Martin Naval Base, go ahead at full speed!"
.......
The Kingdom of Falitis, the largest military port "Newin Harbor".
In the "Shadow Library" in the Princeton Principal's Witchcraft Garden, Anthony scribbled the last character on the parchment in his independent research room.
"Call—"
The young wizard apprentice let out a sigh.
"This paper has finally been completed. Ivan’s latest actual combat data is too timely. If it weren’t for these data, I wouldn’t know when the actual combat analysis of "Song of the Banshee" would have been completely completed! /
Finally a complete result can be submitted to the school! This invention will definitely change the navy's combat mode in the future, and even break the dominance of sea monsters in the sea. Well, it can only be described as ‘great’! "
------>>
Anthony quickly checked again from the beginning, and after confirming that there was no problem, he quickly sealed it with a thick envelope, stamped his witchcraft seal, and put it together with a small brass ball in a small box.
"I don’t know how this guy’s head grows, and he has made such great creations that can change the world one after another. What will be the next scurvy prevention program and the song of the sea monster? He, who would have thought that sound waves would have such powerful power?
Hahaha, I really have the foresight. There are so many apprentices in the "Alchemy Equipment and Enchanting Engineering Branch" of the school. If I had a good relationship with this guy, how could this kind of good fame for auxiliary research fall on me? "
Bringing the research results, Anthony walked briskly out of the research room. The results of this level are enough to initiate emergency procedures and pass them directly to the Princeton Principal!
.......
On the vast sea.
No accident happened again on this voyage. After three days of uninterrupted sailing in two groups of sailors, the two warships crossed the open sea boundary and successfully arrived at the Naval Base of St. Maarten.
Stop on this island with snow-white sandy beaches, beautiful scenery and sheltered harbours. Aiwen even saw the fields opened up on the island, filled with various crops, as a supplement to the island's materials.
The chief officer took the certificate of operations issued by the Third Fleet Command and was about to approach the base. The main task was to replenish ammunition, fresh ingredients, and to further maintain and replace the sails of the "Thumb."
To tell the truth, a navy warship and a black sail pirate ship running together is really an eye-catcher, and it can easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Take this!"
Ivan put the "Black Iron Cross" blessed by the goddess in a beautiful box and gave it to the first officer Borg. St. Martin is managed by the Tulip Principality, and the main staff naturally also have teaching positions.
As a "pious" believer who is a goddess, how can he give this medal a face.
Not enough, if the goddess in the kingdom of God knows that this "favorite" has already equated her godly medals and discount coupons in her heart, she can squeeze her own church's wool, also I don’t know how I feel...
Uh, maybe you are not happy?
In fact, Irving didn't think so much.
After all, it is a naval base controlled by another country.
Now he just wants to successfully complete the supply, restart the hunting operation, and ensure that he can hold the "golden compass" steadily in his hands. He has no interest in the nasty and various intrigues between possible kingdoms.
At this time, even if it is a little high-profile, as long as it can slightly reduce the trouble outside of the task, it is nothing at all.
However, the base paid more attention to the "Iron Cross Medal" than he expected. Just after Borg walked for a while, a colonel in charge of the base came to Aiwen himself.
"The goddess's favor, Captain Irwin! Welcome to our naval base on St. Martin. Bathed in the glory of the goddess, we will provide you with maximum convenience in this base...
By the way, I also want to congratulate you on your current merit ranking ranking first! The three thousand golden lions of the "Spirit of the Eagle" and the two thousand five hundred golden lions of the "Thumb", the hunting amount has been reached Five thousand five hundred golden lions.
This is the latest battle report, you can take a look...
I won’t bother, the goddess is with you! "
------>>
After saluting each other, Ivan sincerely thanked each other for their care.
With a briefing in his hand, he watched the other party leave with his first mate, and personally directed the logistics staff to replenish their two ships.
The hunting operation has started for more than half a month, and the progress of the related operations has also been fed back, summarized by the naval bases distributed on the main routes.
Judging from the briefing, the current warships going to sea have different harvests. Among them, the "Conch" was very rewarding, and there was also the "Reef" that was almost wiped out.
Of course, more navies have not even found the tail of the pirates, and have gained nothing.
Because in this hunt that delineated the hunting grounds to the entire east coast of the Black Sea, the most difficult thing was not how to defeat the pirates. After all, although there were many pirate ships participating in the massacre, most of them were nothing more than "blood anchors". "Zac" is not an extraordinary little character like that.
There are pirate ships with extraordinary people in town, even if you add the direct line under the pirate king, there are only a few dozen ships.
On the contrary, how to find the more than 200 pirate ships that are on the wanted list in the endless sea is the most difficult!
Even within the inherent sphere of influence of the "Tulip Alliance", the densely-spaced naval bases and some patrol ships can monitor major routes to a limited extent and provide some intelligence to the navy on mission.
But by analogy, it's like looking for 200 beans in a lake. Even if you drive a battleship and beat the opponent into powder with a single blow, you can't find anyone.
It’s the only one that, like Ivan, is "unlucky" in less than a month and encounters two pirate ships with high rewards that can still be defeated.
However, he cares more about the names that rank behind him than his temporary results. Without the assistance of Milan and the Seabird Reconnaissance Network, the results are still very tight, and they can be called their own rivals!
The first place, Ivan Garriott of the Kingdom of Falitis, 16 years old, is an official knight class, captain of the sixth-tier ship "Conch". A total of 5,500 golden lions were awarded as a reward for pirates.
Second place, Thomas Gregory of the Kingdom of Ilya, 25 years old, senior knight class, captain of the fifth-tier ship "Snow Lake". Obtained a total of 4200 Golden Lion rewards from pirates.
Third place, Bertram Solomon, Kingdom of Tyrol, 28 years old, senior knight class, captain of the battleship "Royal Guard". Obtained a total of 3,500 golden lions as rewards from pirates.
"..."
Although the people at the back may hide their dragons and crouching tigers~IndoMTL.com~, there is a big gap with them.
However, there are still more than two months before the deadline of the mission. Any situation can happen in such a long time. A momentary lead is not a reason to take it lightly.
There is a delay in the transmission of information on the sea. Now maybe someone has hunted and killed a great pirate again. If someone accidentally squeezed out the top six, you would regret it.
So.
With the full cooperation of the sailors and the base personnel, the two warships under Ivan were fully rationed, replaced their sails, and simply maintained their combat effectiveness in their heyday.
Without any hesitation, "Conch" and "Thumb" all returned to the sea!
After confirming through Milan’s divination that there is a possibility that there will be another harvest on the route to the neutral port of Attilan, the two warships headed north and reopened a large net, waiting for the next prey to arrive.
Next is... hunting time!
