Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 339: Tier 3 ship “Sternberg”!
Chapter 339 The third-tier ship “Stellenbosch”!
The luminous dust floating in the bottle is the “dust of evil spirits” that Irving once wanted.
But two months ago, I got a part by chance in the native Yucatan tribe, and it didn’t take long for it to appear again.
Even though the New World is rich in various spirit bodies, it shouldn’t be so casual, right?
And listening to Nekador’s tone, this bottle of “Evil Spirit Dust” also seems to come from that tribe?
“Your Captain, I feel like we are in trouble.
I don’t know why. Some time ago, when our people brought the goods to look for them again, they found that the entire camp of the Yucatan tribe was empty.
He didn’t even leave us any message, only found this in the longhouse of the tribal leader Apsova.
Because you got something similar last time after you wiped out the bereaved evil spirit “Pocatello”, so I want you to see if there is any clue. “
While talking about Nekado, I was a little worried, but the Yucatan tribe is related to the supply of a large part of their fur trade.
Now that I leave without saying goodbye, how can I continue my fur trade from now on?
When I heard his words, Ivan didn’t go to study the special place of the bottle of “Evil Spirit Dust” at the first time, but lighted up all the hanging wind chimes planted in the captain’s room.
Looking at Nikkado’s recently haggard face carefully for a while, frowned slightly and asked:
“Mr. Director, have you not been sleeping well recently, and often hear some inexplicable movements?”
I felt a little hairy when I saw that, I took out a handkerchief and wiped my face, a little unsure:
“I think there is, I have been feeling a little heavy in my neck recently.
It may be because I was too tired recently and encountered this kind of weird thing. It is normal to have a bad rest.
There are several company employees in my department who are exhausted and even take sick leave.
Not as good as my health! Hahaha…”
Hearing his narration, Irving has confirmed his guess.
Suddenly reached out and snapped his fingers.
Slap——
Cracking…
Nekardo immediately trembles all over, his body crackles as if it has been electrified, and even his hair stands up.
“Captain Ivan, this…what is this…what…huh?”
The tingling tongue hasn’t been straightened yet.
Ah——!
A harsh and short scream sounded in the captain’s chamber, and then disappeared instantly.
“There used to be something that was not very clean, but now it’s okay.
I give you a piece of advice, don’t worry about your fur anymore.
There may be a guy who is more powerful than the bereaved evil spirit “Pocatello” who has been to the Yucatan tribe.
It’s just a little bit of breath that has this level, and if you want to pursue it, it might really kill you.
Go to the church and ask a priest at least at the patriarch level to do a purification ritual for everyone who has been to the Yucatan tribe. “
“More terrible… evil spirits?”
Neckardo, who finally realized what Ivan had just done, couldn’t help but shook his head.
While his face became paler, he never dared to mention the word Yucatan tribe anymore.
After several ships have completed the transfer of materials.
Watching the three merchant ships and the worried Nekato leave in a hurry.
Ivan looked at the bottle of “Evil Dust” he exchanged with Nekador for several “silver talismans” in his hand, and he felt that things might be a bit tricky.
In the fur trade, it is not only the East Lenz Company that is the beneficiary, but the win-win cooperation between Yucatan and East Lenz.
If the Yucatan tribe repulsed the more powerful “evil spirits” and left calmly, it must have left no message.
Judging from the clues we have now, the situation of the Yucatan tribe is obviously not so good.
However.
This news has no effect on Aiwen for the time being. He has no interest in Yucatan and lacks the motivation to trace the follow-up truth.
Especially now that I have a task, at least it is impossible to get out and do other things until the Potosi Silver Mine decides to belong, or I get orders from the upper level.
And the time limit of the “Silver War” is now beyond the control of anyone, including the upper-level figures of various countries who made the “open fight” decision.
For the time being, I can only silently wish that Necardo could find a new source of goods as soon as possible, or set up his own hunting team like the North West Leather Goods Company.
……
After the last loot trade.
A few days have passed since Ivan was able to study witchcraft leisurely.
The two battleships “Cape Storm” and “Endeavour” that have been swimming near the supply line finally ushered in the first support fleet from other colonies of Hilius.
At the same time, he finally ushered in his biggest challenge, and it was also the first head-on confrontation with the world’s most powerful navy.
“Attention all units! New targets appear, prepare for battle!”
Looking at the aggressive and powerful fleet two hundred kilometers away, after repeated investigations to determine the opponent’s strength, this time they did not choose to retreat.
Although it’s impossible to be easy, after weighing it with the officer on the ship and the “Endeavour”, I think it can be played!
As a soldier in the ascendancy of the country, it is impossible for them to fear war.
Moreover, if they can kill or capture this fleet, even if the “Silver War” related to the wealth of the sky is lost, their credit will be hard to obliterate!
Finally, Ivan, who is the commander of the fleet, gave the order:
“Fuck him!”
The New World is a long gourd shape in the north and south poles. The thinnest part in the middle is only less than 700 kilometers. It is called the Isthmus of Barboa and consists of rain forests, mountains, inland seas, and rivers.
But even in the middle of this kind of complicated terrain, there is no way for ships to pass through, and it is impossible for the east and west sides to pass through.
Hilius’ colonies are mostly located on the west coast of the mainland.
Usually, they usually transport the gold and silver produced by the Secret Dragon and New Sirius by sea to the city of Balboa on the side of the Broken Star Sea.
Using mules and horses to transport them through the tropical jungles of the Isthmus of Barboa, they will be transported to Port Dios on the Golden Sea before being transferred back to China by sea.
Good to say.
However, if the fleet of ships wants to reach the east coast from the west coast of the New World, they can only pass through the vast sea through Cape Froard at the southernmost point, and circumnavigate the coastline of the New World little by little.
A fleet sent from the northernmost part of the Deputy Royal District of New Sirius, and even a little closer to the Deputy Royal District of New Granada.
In the case of good wind and smooth water, it will take two full months to bypass the entire southern part of the New World and arrive at Fort Navidad in the “Golden Sea”.
This is also the naval base of Hilius closest to the Potosi Silver Mine.
The second closest distance is the farthest actual geographical distance, located in the Deputy King District of La Plata at the southernmost tip of the New World.
Although part of the territory of this colony is on the east coast, it will take about a month for reinforcements to sail to the “Golden Sea”, and it will take another 20 days to depart from the Golden Sea.
So after a full month from the start of the maritime supply line blockade, Ivan and the others finally ushered in an aid fleet that had traveled thousands of miles from the Vice-Kingdom of La Plata.
In fact, if it weren’t for the accidental information leakage of the vanguard, they wouldn’t have to mobilize forces in such a hurry.
After establishing an outpost on Potosí Island, you can calmly deploy your military forces, and then unite the forces of the four deputy king districts to crush it.
It is because of the accidental exposure of Silver Island that infinite variables have been added, and this “Silver War” has been brought into a stalemate situation.
Also gave Irvine the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
A group of officers in neat navy uniforms have collectively come upstairs to the stern for a pre-war meeting.
“There is actually a Tier 3 ship of Hilius?
Your Excellency, Captain! Conventional combat power is not a big problem.
However, in accordance with the tradition of Hilius, large battleships such as Tier 3 ships are generally equipped with patriarchal (eternal fire) clergy of the Church of Eternal Fire.
At critical moments, priests may also provide various spell countermeasures. We must be careful. “
Boris, who has been fully integrated into the “Storm Horn”, has the special authority that Ivan has opened for him, and has been able to use the powerful intelligence capabilities of this ship freely.
As soon as I saw the opponent, based on my own experience, I suggested to Aiwen the most likely part of the ambush.
“Ok, I get it!”
I didn’t ask how Boris gained this experience. The frontal battlefield, the disguised privateer fleet…In the 20 years of service in the New World, there are too many possible conflicts.
Hearing his advice, Ivan was only eager to try.
Lightly rubbed the “oak fruit” on the neck. Of course, the opponent of the spell can only be the spell. The time has come to verify the results of my research during this period.
In the distance, the Hilius Fleet, the flagship “Sternberg”.
“Your Captain! Why don’t we wait for Navidad Fort’s supply fleet to set off together?
Didn’t the frontline send back information that this area has not been peaceful recently and that many small-scale supply fleets have disappeared? “
In the captain’s room of the flagship and pilot ship of the “Stellenbosch”, two officers and a priest wearing a white background and a red-edged robes sat around the command table and looked at the chart on the table. .
The priest with wavy curly hair and short beard suddenly asked.
“Master Edmund, please rest assured that there will be no accidents.
The missing ones are supply ships and merchant ships that have little combat effectiveness. The so-called “sea ghosts” are nothing but ghost tricks performed by Zack or Atlan.
Maybe there are some unwilling lonely guys behind the scenes.
But any conspiracy and trickery have no meaning in the face of absolute strength. With this three-tier battleship “Stellenbosch”, any enemy will only be crushed directly. “
Captain Colonel Stanley looked at the actual highest commander next to him, Colonel Reynolds Class who belonged to the Army, and explained to the servant of “Eternal Fire” very easily.
“And as far as I know, those restless countries have not deployed a few Tier 3 battleships in the entire New World, for fear that the kingdom will not pleasing to the eye, and send their hard-earned homes to the bottom of the sea.
Unless they dispatch a “quasi-legendary” to completely start a national war, no one will be our opponent! “
Although this is a bit proud, they do have pride.
At this time, he has a total of four warships under his command.
In the military configuration of the New World, they are almost the most powerful three-tier battleship under the quasi-legendary-the “Sternberg”, and three fully-armed fifth-tier cruise ships.
Especially the “Stellenbosch” is a large ship with 74 ship-borne artillery, a total of 28 32-pounders, 30 24-pounders, and 16 9-pounders.
It has a capacity of 680 people and a displacement of 1,500 tons. It is also the main battleship among the naval battleships. It is the perfect combination of firepower, speed and cost in this era, and it is the backbone of the battle line.
Different from the eclectic model of the fourth-tier ship, the third-tier ship is a real killer for suppressing sea power, and it is also one of the fundamentals of a country’s naval power.
Because of the naval warfare used by Hilius~IndoMTL.com~, their warships are much wider, longer and larger than those of other countries, and they have extraordinary stability.
Like a mobile fortress on the sea, it is condescending in battle and has unparalleled combat advantages.
If others want to attack them, they must first capture a huge sea fortress.
“What’s more, even if there are really some “sea ghosts”, there is still you, the servant of the “eternal fire”. I believe that in your flames, any evil will be purified! “
“This is the power of God! Flame protects the world. People standing in the light will never be harmed by evil!”
Edmond folded his hands on his chest and reverently preached the prayers of the “Eternal Fire” church.
The two officers looked at each other, and crossed their hands at the same time, chanting loudly in their mouths:
“The flame purifies our soul!”
