Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 327: The prelude to the storm
Chapter 327 Prelude to the Storm
"Impossible--!"
Victor's left fingertips, lying on the deck, were no more than a centimeter away from the Swift Sword, but the heroic captain's body suddenly froze.
The fact that the young captain behind him was also a peak knight, seemed to surprise him more than defeat and capture.
Being ruthlessly crushed by the best and most proud aspect of his life, the psychological line of defense was finally broken, and he completely gave up resistance.
Alvin did not mind his thoughts. He has a "data-based vision" to monitor the body. Even the slightest attribute change can be completely controlled by Aiwen. The control of the body is no less than that in the world. A pinnacle knight.
After getting Gel's experience, the degree of physical liberation has improved extremely fast!
What's more, after taking "Holy Baptism Pool Water" to obtain a perfect foundation, his physical fitness is far above that of the enemy captain.
Fluttering edge——
At this time, a group of white seagulls flew out from the porthole of the other party's "Dolphin" expedition ship, mostly holding a piece of gleaming silver ore in their paws.
Boom boom boom...
In a short while, a small pile has been piled up on the deck of "Cape Storm".
That was a silver ore sample collected by the geologist who was with the ship.
"Ha, Mr. Victor, can you please tell me, what are these things? Is the temple you found the "God of Silver Mine"?"
"Chiff--"
With a sneer, Victor turned his head, turning a deaf ear to what Ivan said.
He has accepted his fate of failure frankly, but it is impossible for him to betray the king.
"Come on, whoever, take care of a gentleman."
Ivan waved his hand and immediately a group of wolves like tigers dragged Victor from the mast, and several recognized interrogators on the ship swarmed up.
Slap! Snapped! ...
"Uh..."
However.
Even after being put on the "extraordinary handcuffs" specialties of the alchemy school, after another round of torture that is difficult to describe, the captain still said nothing.
Willpower and loyalty are both tenacious.
"There are warriors in every country! Forget it, take it with you."
It's normal to have a warrior, but it doesn't mean that everyone on this ship is a warrior.
Subsequently.
Boom! boom! boom! ....
The Horn of Storms only fired a few shots to intimidate.
Without much effort, he took the "Dolphin" that lost the captain and first officer.
The soldiers interrogated the personnel on the expedition ship separately, and this time they easily got the information they wanted to know.
In particular, there was one prospecting scholar who was obviously not a soldier. As a key officer, he had just begun to interrogate. He was like pouring beans from a bamboo tube to tell all he knew.
"Not only the northern part of the New World, but for the entire New World, it may be an unprecedented large silver mine.
The estimated reserves are 25,000 tons!
Just at the corner of the colony between Atlan and Sark, even if the colony closest to the tulip is, the straight-line distance will not exceed 1,000 kilometers! "
Hearing the breaking news, Ivan and the officers on the ship looked at each other.
Next.
"We have done a great job!"
"I have made a fortune! This may be the world's number one silver mine!"
"..."
The officers talked all about it, and the common idea was that this might be a splendid feat and an unimaginable huge amount of wealth.
"This is obviously going to change the sky!"
With the wisdom of a wizard, Milan, standing next to Ivan,’s first thought was not a benefit, but a series of problems that might be brought about by this silver mine.
"By the way, I heard that this silver mine was first discovered by the ‘Netherlands Bank Group’.
I just didn’t have the strength to eat, so I made a deal with our King. I gave us the chart showing the location of the island of Potosí.
It's just that the last news has been leaked out somehow, otherwise I have already started further prospecting work. "
Then the gossip that the exploration experts had heard from the leaders of the three expeditions also told them exactly.
Ivan is also aware of the difficulty of the problem.
Look at the parties involved in this matter?
The Netherlands Banking Group is the starting point for everything, but it's hard to say what role it plays in this matter.
Hilius, the domineering power of the sea, declared that silver and gold are the blood of the kingdom. At present, it actually owns most of the rich ore deposits of precious metals in the New World.
Atlan and Zack are both top in the second tier, and they also occupy geographical advantages.
Although I have also received the news now, how can it be that simple to take a bite of that piece of fat?
And as the situation expands, that silver mine is a great vortex that can involve all the forces of the New World, whether you like it or not!
"We will return to Fort Dearborn as fast as we can. The impact of this kind of incident has exceeded our processing limit. Report it to the garrison commander, Lieutenant General Gustav."
Soon the Hilius people on the expedition ship were all transferred to the Horn of Storm.
To prevent leaving the head and tail to let others find him, Ivan sent a few well-watered crew members to dive into the water to completely sink the lingering "Dolphin" expedition ship.
By the way, a bunch of Hilius severely wounded in the naval battle, which showed that they had been unsaved or had a huge cost of treatment, were also thrown away.
Let’s not say whether you can survive the long journey, even if this kind of person is brought back, the base executives will not choose to be treated. In this sea, things are so cruel.
They simply used them to create the illusion that the "Dolphin" accidentally capsized in this sea area, which has nothing to do with any outsiders.
"Milan!"
"Leave it to me!"
Milan, who had cooperated with him a long time ago, took out the transparent crystal ball he carried with him.
Fingertips kept imaginary paintings on the surface of the crystal ball, muttering words in the mouth, and soon a pure white faint streamer that could only be detected in the spiritual field of vision spread to the entire warship.
[Witchcraft·Divination Countermeasures]
The unique witchcraft of this "school of prophecy" has smoothed out all traces of this warship in the spiritual world within an hour.
Unless you find a great wizard whose abilities far exceed Milan's prophecy expertise, it is almost impossible to find evidence that "Storm Horn" once appeared here by means of prophecy.
Then, "Storm Horn" rode the prevailing northeast trade wind with full sails all the way to the south, and even the last station inspection mission that was not far away was not taken care of at all.
Aven on the ship gave another order:
"Cancel all vacations, and all staff enter a state of combat readiness, hurry up and improve their strength!
Especially the ability to handle guns and personal combat effectiveness must be adjusted to the best state within a short period of time.
We may be running out of time. "
"Yes, Lord Captain!"
After Ivan and Milan reminded them, the officers gradually realized the seriousness of the matter and responded solemnly.
"Can't wait any longer!"
Turning around and looking north, Ivan can feel that a huge storm has begun to brew. If his small body is accidentally caught in, it is likely to be the end of no bones!
Even if Ivan is now commanding a battleship, he is still the pinnacle knight himself, and there is no guarantee that he will survive this storm intact.
The benefits are too great, enough to make any force do their best to fight.
So, for the "Silver War" that may come at any time, the promotion of an official wizard is urgent! ! !
.......
Huhuhu——
It takes about 15 days to sail from the northernmost part of the colony to the south without stopping in the middle. It takes about 15 days at the speed of a normal merchant ship, and it takes about 12 days even at the speed of the "Cape Storm".
So embarking on the road back to the voyage with such a secret, one can imagine how frustrated they are when they are aware of the seriousness of the matter.
As the dignified kingdom navy, they have never walked so fearlessly on their own territory.
Period.
Ivan temporarily put aside the witchcraft research and physical liberation training that had come to the pass, and personally guarded the peak knight Victor.
Even with "extraordinary shackles" in his body, Ivan is not at ease.
Because alchemy props are dead, but people are alive. If a pinnacle knight is allowed to get out, no one on this boat can suppress him.
If you let this guy run away, not only will you get fishy if you don't eat the fish. It is very possible that Hilius will turn his attention to Falettis. When the attitude of the top is not clear, this is not merit but it is very likely to be a pass.
At the same time, his seabird reconnaissance network is also released far away, paying attention to all the troubles on the road.
"It's useless, even if you know the news about the silver mine? It is always the strength of the country that determines the ownership of wealth.
This sea belongs to Hilius, it used to be! The future too! "
Except for the initial routine torture, Ivan didn't abuse the pinnacle knight much. Although he was heavily chained, he kept him in his captain's room all the time.
At this time, with the recovery ability of the peak knight, his sword wounds and torture welts have been restored as before, and Ivan once again felt his infinite loyalty and confidence in Hilius.
In fact, Ivan also admitted to the dominance of Hilius from the heart.
Only when he left the "comfortable" homeland and came to the New World, did Ivan really realize how powerful the Kingdom of Sirius is.
Baskets, large and small like the Great Wall of China, have been built on the main routes of the world that have been proven, occupying the best ports, trade distribution centers and maritime landmarks.
This is the truth of the great voyage, and the article on the sea is done on land.
Eastern Route (Southern Continent...Peacock Islands...Antana Strait), Western Route (Suvi Islands in the Black Sea...New World...Explore the bridgehead torch promontory in the Broken Star Sea), Hilius It took two hundred years to defend its maritime hegemony with hundreds of large and small bastions step by step.
No country can achieve the level of Hilius.
However.
"Heh! No one will be the protagonist forever. The Holy Lothar Empire, which once ruled the entire Source Continent, can't, and of course Hilius can't.
Mr. Victor should seriously consider his situation~ IndoMTL.com~ Your attitude will make it difficult to receive your Kingdom Navy. It’s not good for you..."
"Cuckoo..."
Beth interrupted Ivan with a sudden reminder.
Through the seabirds at the forefront of the reconnaissance network, he suddenly saw a fleet of three battleships and five cruisers passing by a straight line distance of only 120 kilometers from him.
Even with the seabirds' vision at this distance, only the long flame flag belonging to Hilius can be seen.
That's a surge in the colony of Hilius!
Obviously, the prelude to the storm is coming sooner than many people expected!
Alvin and the others are still three days away from reaching Fort Dearborn.
