Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 26: Suddenly

　　 In the next few days, except for the knights who could not be beaten by thunder early in the morning, Ivan just soaked under the mast, learning and practicing a little bit to digest the knowledge and experience taught by the cable leader Jiabu.

　　 Strictly speaking, sailboats cannot generate power by themselves, and can only rely on external wind and ocean currents. Therefore, no matter the wind or wind direction changes, the sails need to be adjusted in time, otherwise it will become Buddhist drifting, and there may even be the risk of the ship overturning.

　　 brings a huge workload to the crew, and at the same time, Ivan has a lot more opportunities to practice hands. Moreover, this guy relied on his high physical fitness, and also robbed a lot of the work of the sailors. Others needed the rigging pulled by several people, and he pulled it all alone.

　　 humbly and studious, there is no such thing as an officer, even with the sailors at the bottom level, I can chat with the sailors at the bottom, and Ivan quickly became a piece of the sailing crew. At the same time, his own control of the sails Technology is also advancing rapidly.

　　 At least with the help of a data-based vision, as long as you have learned something once, you don’t need to repeat it again. It is better than the old crew to distinguish wind direction, wind speed, wave height, etc., and the sailing cable is long on the calm sea. Bu dared to let him command and manipulate a paragraph.

　　 Up to now, the data-based vision has really helped Aiwen too much. Whether it is the parameterization of external things, the identification of details, or their own attributes, they are extremely useful abilities. Aiwen never disliked it at the beginning... .

　　 The sky is high and the clouds are pale, and it is another peaceful day.

The 　　Silver Wing's cruise has been close to one-third of its voyage.

　　Because they have been sailing on the route of offshore merchant ships, merchant ships have seen a lot, but Ivan has always wanted to use the pirate ship to test his skills, but he has not seen a single one.

　　 Even if I want to come, there are many naval ports nearby, which is the most powerful place for naval forces. Like the last time Blood Anchor was encountered in a place where offshore shipping was prosperous, it was really only a small probability event, and most pirates would not dare to come here to die.

　　 Stepping on the tail of the early morning, Ivan climbed to the observation deck and looked at the sea routinely after finishing the exercise. There was no abnormality in the gleaming of the sea in the slight morning light.

　　 just because there is no shelter on the sea, it gives people a feeling that the sun rises much earlier than on land.

　　 "Where are the pirates?" The sea breeze was blowing, and Ivan muttered to himself expectantly.

　　 "Hey, boy, isn't peace in the world?" Geer, who also got up early to patrol the battleship behind him, patted Ivan's shoulder.

　　 Aiwen, who was too focused and didn't notice that someone came, laughed, he didn't dare to say that he wanted to find a few pirates to try his skills.

　　 Fighting pirates is not telling a story. As long as there is a battle, there will be casualties. The sea is never a peaceful place. Whether it is pirates, disease, bad weather, or indescribable objects hidden under the sea, they are all enemies that threaten the lives of seafarers.

　　 The normal four-tier battleship has a crew of 350 people. At that time, the crew who followed Gehr to the five-tier ship "Silver Wing" were less than two hundred. As for the rest of those people? It speaks for itself.

　　 "Uncle Geer, there is a situation!" As he was about to ask Geer about the strange news on the ocean, Ivan suddenly caught a glimpse of the abnormality on the sea from the corner of his eyes. Shouted.

　　 "Calm down!"

　　Geer gave a light sip and raised the brass-clad monocular in his hand to look in the direction of Ivan's fingers.

　　Broken ship boards, sawdust, canvas, buckets, wooden boxes and other debris float on the surface of the water with the current. The experienced Geer immediately judged that this was a trace of a merchant ship's death.

　　 "Level 3 combat readiness!"

　　 "Clang, clang, clang..." Ivan immediately sounded the alarm bell at his command.

　　 Then the two slid down the mast and ran to Geer’s command position in the stern tower with the best view, and where the rudder was.

　　 Hearing the alarm bell, there were some quiet Silver Wings in the darkness before dawn, like a giant beast that was suddenly awakened. Countless crew members gushing out of the cabin like tide, rushing to their jobs.

　　 Originally Ivan thought that the crew under the command of Captain Joseph on the Yellow Swan was already very well-trained. I didn’t expect to see the actions of the Silver Wing sailors before realizing that he had a well-trained standard. Should be redefined.

　　 There is no need for Gerdow's words, just standing in his commanding post like a pin on the sea, everyone below knows what he should do and whom he should cooperate with. In an instant, this Silver Wing was like a clockwork gear mechanism, the gears bite and rotate on their own, turning into a real war machine.

　　"Raise the sail, turn the rudder!"

　　 Under the control of the crew, the Silver Wing deftly made a circle and sailed in the direction where the debris was floating.

　　 Soon, the crew on the Silver Wing had seen the scene of the merchant ship’s death.

　　The damaged sailboat was torn apart, floating quietly on the sea~IndoMTL.com~Flags, broken planks, wooden boxes and cargo were floating everywhere, but even a corpse could not be found.

　　"It seems to be a merchant ship from Palos."

　　 has been recognized by experienced old crew members through the ship’s style and broken flags. This is a merchant ship belonging to the Palos Kingdom in the Tulip Alliance. I just don't know what happened to them. There is not much difference between the ship and the broken bones. This is an effect that the pirate's artillery can never produce.

　　 "Your Captain, things seem to be a bit wrong." The navigator Trius frowned.

　　 A bizarre guess has emerged in his mind, but he is a little uncertain, after all, it is a threat that ocean-going ships may encounter in the open sea.

　　 It should not be possible in offshore areas where shipping is prosperous but marine resources are scarce.

　　 "Secondary alert!" Hearing what the captain said, Geer himself certainly guessed and decisively gave the order.

　　 orders were passed to all departments of the ship. At this time, regardless of whether they were combatants or not, the crew took out long and short muskets and filled them with ammunition to deal with enemies that might appear at any time.

　　 just as everyone on the boat was preparing nervously. I don't know when it started, a layer of mist gradually rose on the sea, and the visibility continued to decrease.

　　 Actually, after such a long time, the sun should have risen now, but the sea in everyone’s field of vision gradually became darker, and the Silverwing had to lower its sails to slow down to avoid accidentally hitting something.

　　"click, click, click..."

　　 At this moment, a strange mechanical sound suddenly came out of Ge's arms.

　　 Ivan, who was standing behind Geer, looked at it suspiciously, and found that Uncle Geer's face changed, and his expression dignifiedly took out a silver pocket watch-like thing from his arms.
