The Amber Sword: Act 161 The crisis at sea
When Brando returned to the top level armor plates, the ship was sailing out of the waterway between Tyved Island and Gussel Port. The two ships in front of Targus also slowed down and waited for them to keep up. One side of the sea is the strange rock of Tyved Island, which looks pale as phosphorus in the moonlight. The wind blows from the south of Güsel. The hull sways slightly with the waves. As Timis passes through the clouds, the sea surface Visibility is extremely high, he can clearly see that the fog wall on the sea east of the Luan Strait is slowly moving.
It seems that there are countless ships in the thick fog. The walls continue to form a barrier between the ships, such as the mast of a forest looming. I don't know that there are hundreds or thousands of ships in it. What made him look a bit ugly was that the mist was slowly approaching the west coast of the Luan Strait, that is, the direction they were in, and it seemed to merge with the mist from the port of Güsel.
It's nothing, but the problem is that their three boats are exactly in the middle.
armor plates is dead at this time, and those who were still celebrating are dumb now. If they still have confidence to pass through the mist in the port of Güsel, but the fog wall in front of them is unknown. The length of the mile is so long that you can't see the sides of the north and the south on the wide sea. It is impossible to get around.
When Brando followed Delphine and Insidolon, everyone subconsciously set his sights on him. Previously, he took them out of the Güsel bay, and at the same time everyone subconsciously took Brando as a solution. The one who can solve the trouble now.
But Brando has no idea at this time. He looked calmly at the slowly moving cloud wall on the sea, and he was unsure of his mind. Although Targus once let a ship enter the mist, the ship then returned the same way, which seemed to be unaffected. But the state of the mist at that time was not the same as it is now.
As for going around, it was even a joke. The mist started to appear from Rosalin. They had not seen their heads after traveling north for three days. Who knows where the other end is.
But the mist from the port of Güsser is chasing from the back of the waterway, and what can be done now seems to be to continue northward.
If it doesn't work, you can only abandon the ship and land. It is unlikely that this mist will go too far into the land. Although the ports along the coast have suffered, there is always a safe place inland.
It depends on whether they can go that far in a short time and get out of the mist envelope.
"What terrain is there in the north, is there a place suitable for landing, it is best to have a sheltered bay, and nearby terrain such as mountains or hills?" Thinking of this, Brando turned and asked.
Insidolon think about it. Answered: "Yes, yes, but there are places like this that have become ports, Lord Count."
Brando Silently, he understands what the other party meant. Obviously, such a situation as Gussel cannot be a case, and ports in other places may have suffered the same doom.
But the terrain on the west bank of the Luan Strait is steep, and there are not many places to build a port, so a few places have been used by humans or undead. If you want to find a natural undeveloped anchorage, it is really Is a bit difficult.
"I know there is such a place. Teacher."
At this time Feng Huo came over and looked at them and said.
"What?"
"But I have n’t been there, I just heard that I heard that there is a pirate's hiding place in the bay canyon near Sopalachi. I think the pirates can use it as lair. You can also log in there. "
"I've heard of this place as well," Insidolon recalled. But there was not much joy on his pale face: "But no one knows exactly where that lair is. The fjord terrain near Sopalachi is complicated, and it will be troublesome if we find it wrong."
Brando glanced back at the dark sea between Tyved Island and Güsel. The speed of the diffusion of the mist was significantly accelerated by the south wind, and the wall of mist on the front strait was also positive. Pressing in this direction, the choice left to them is actually already.
"It's better than sitting and waiting," he replied, "you must try it anyway, how far is that place from here, can we have time to catch it?"
"Not far," Delphine understands that this question was asked to her. She has been familiar with the map near the Swift Plain these days, and she replied: "Soparachi is north of Güsser, just from here. It is only over a hundred nautical miles. It is one of the largest counterpart ports of Sapphire Hill across the strait. However, the history of this port is actually very short. It was not discovered until the year of spider poison, but Sopalachi Bay The belly is wide and the mouth is narrow, natural sheltering from the wind. The water depth in the harbor is more than eight meters. It can accommodate almost all types of commercial and military ships in the Nine Phoenixes area. It is an excellent natural port. It is said that there are conditions for building an air port, but this place is not needed. "
More than a hundred nautical miles, ordinary people have to walk on the land for several days to arrive, but it is not really a long distance on the sea. Their three ships are all excellent armed merchant ships. , The fastest can reach twelve knots under full sail conditions, and the slowest is ten knots. Right now, it is riding the south wind. In theory, you can see the coastline of Soparachi tomorrow morning.
But that ’s just a theory. In fact, it ’s only God knows whether they can leave them so much time. Although Brando's has some navigation knowledge, it can only be said that it ’s not a black eye. He ca n’t predict that the fog is How fast the sea is advancing, but at least it can be seen that they will certainly not be left with as much time as ten hours.
It would be nice to have half.
"So the terrain around is complicated?"
"Sopalachi is on the glacier belt. To the east is the southern edge of the Nine Phoenixes glacier. Glacier movement and melting snow and ice corrode can easily create complex sea cliffs and fjord belts. All coastlines are affected by similar geological changes. Only in the warmer southeast of the other side of the strait, rivers have formed alluvial plains after melting ice and snow. "
Brando is clear. Vaunde is located in the east of Faanzan and north of the Saers Great Plain. However, the term “glacier” is actually a broad geographical concept. Its part in Vaunde is only its westernmost edge. Glaciers, or ice caps, are better. It is a desperate place to the west of the Vaunde world and the largest component of the 'Black Forest' outside the Vaunde world (Black Forest is of course far more than just a forest). This glacier extends eastward. No one knows where its borders are. It crosses the Kursun Strait to the south, intersects with the Madara's border, and then crosses the Luan Strait, becoming part of the huge extinction on the northern border of Nine Phoenixes.
And this part of the Nine Phoenixes glacier is the thing mentioned by prime minister's daughter.
Brando groaned for a moment, looking at Insidolon: "Go and signal Mr. Targus, let's go north, the destination is Sopalachi. By the way, how many Lich do you have on board, which must be above mid-grade?"
He asked suddenly.
Insidolon froze, for a moment didn't understand the meaning of the question: "That's not much, Lord Count, including the lieutenants on this ship, up to five."
"So few?" Brando is a little puzzled. He knows that Madara and Lich are the most important components in the army, and it can be said that the backbone is not too much, especially in this undead summoning has not been improved era.
There is no grass-roots Elite skull warrior, no thorn method undead, no cheap undead apprentice wizard, Lich is the most important low level Commander of undead.
Moreover, Lich is Madara's most precious and rarest technology troop type, such as the Navy's high-tech military, before the emergence of the intelligent Elite skull warrior, the general skeleton warrior is also acting as cannon fodder at most. The work is to engage in side battles, or to use them in the previous landing wars, and let them be sailors. In the sky, they can only handle the simple tasks of cleaning armor plates or rowing.
The real professional sailors can only be competent if they have the Lich with a certain wisdom. There are only five professional sailors in such a large ship? Brando is somewhat incomprehensible.
"In Rosalin, we usually use humans to supplement the sailors. Humans here often deal with us. If we can afford it, they don't mind working for us. After all, we are not real warships, intermediate Lich cannot be equipped with so many, that thing is also very valuable to us, "Insidolon shook his head and smiled bitterly:" Actually, there are still some Rosalin, but this was not the original idea of bringing them out, you Do you want them to be useful? "
Brando is a bit speechless. Professional human sailors are actually stronger than Lich. Intermediate Lich is intelligent but limited. Advanced Lich can be no different from humans or even better. However, Madara is only a few advanced Lich. ?
Most of them have become Undead Thane.
Unfortunately, what he needs now is not a professional sailor, but Lich, although Lich can be sailors, but their real role is not just a sailor, nor is it just a component of low level NCO in Madara's, more importantly , They are all Wizard.
Although it may be a bit lame.
But that's enough.
Seeing that Brando's's face is not very good-looking. These days, already has learned to look at Insidolon and said quickly: "But there are still a lot of low grade Lich, Lord Count."
Brando shook his head, "No need, let Targus gather the intermediate Lichs and send them here. I need to do something and need a few Wizards to help."
