Destiny Thief

Chapter 55 The Vortex IV

"The Palmeiras is back!"

In the naval camp in Afron, the waves stirred up by the warships slapped against the shore reefs of the pier, shouts, whistles, and the voices of officers scolding were mixed together, and the whole camp was like a boiling pot of hot soup.Dozens of young soldiers with flushed faces ran outside the admiral's barracks, shouting loudly one after another with joy in their trembling voices.

The sailing "Palmelas" has returned to port.

Leos looked calm when he heard the news, but a glint of joy flashed in his eyes. Glo looked at the tall and thin naval admiral, his arms trembling almost uncontrollably.Before he left the desk in three or two steps, he made an apologetic expression to Glo, and then quickly got out of the barracks and walked towards the pier.

"Shall we go there too?"

Glo slightly hesitated, looked at Salem and asked.His identity is an outsider to the Royal Navy, and he is not sure whether he is suitable for this occasion.Although he has a very strong curiosity about the warships in this world.

Fortunately, Sai Lun did not disappoint him, he looked at Glo and nodded.The three people in the barracks also quickly ran out and rushed towards the pier.

The entire navy camp was bustling with excitement that was rarely seen in ordinary times. Soldiers and officers all ran to the open areas of the camp.Some of them were still bleary-eyed. They were soldiers who had just fallen asleep on duty at night. Infected by the noisy and enthusiasm of their companions, they crawled out of their warm beds and dressed up again to welcome their comrades who had returned from the voyage.

wow-

The anchor fell into the water, and the battleship finally docked.The waves burst into a large canopy of water mist on the shore. When the mist cleared, two teams of soldiers soon appeared. They caught the cable thrown by their companions on the battleship deck, and then carefully wound it and fixed it firmly on the pier. on a thick iron pile.

Glo and Sai Lun stood side by side about ten meters away from the pier.It was still morning at this time, and the sun from the east was shining on the sparkling sea. Standing beside the battleship, Glo finally saw this giant monster again outside the game—the tall hull was like A solid wall, the bitter sea wind formed a large vacuum here, Glo raised his head, and the gray sails on the tall mast were slowly falling.He observed that under the sun, the shadow of the mast extended from the shore to the barracks, just falling on the barracks of Lord Leos.

It was now morning. Glo stretched out his thumb and index finger to mark the angle of the sunlight. He looked at the shadow of the mast and roughly calculated the height of the battleship - from the above-water part of the hull to the top of the mast. , is actually nearly 30 meters high. Compared with previous games, the visual impact brought by the realistic perspective is completely different.

Is this the three-masted battleship of the Royal Navy?
Glo didn't take his eyes off, he stared at the ship's side, the soldiers were putting down the ship's ladder and came down one by one, his eyes swept over the young soldiers, and fell on the rows of holes above the ship's side.This is the gun bay of the battleship. The cold luster of steel is shining in the shadow of the black hole, and it is loaded with artillery—this is a kind of alchemy weapon that relies on the efficient conversion magic circle to convert energy spar into destructive power.He was lucky enough to see the power of this kind of artillery in the game. The powerful energy beam was enough to melt the rock into magma.

This is an artifact of naval warfare—the bandit leader had a beautiful vision in the game in his previous life. He imagined that one day he would own a warship of his own, sailing on the vast sea, and grab it if he was in a good mood or not. Grabbing money for goods and grabbing girls...

However, this kind of fantasy is not possible now, he is well aware of the cost of a battleship - all his and his bandit gang's possessions, maybe, probably, maybe, can buy a small section of the upper deck.

"Welcome back, our lad!"

Leos stood under the ladder of the battleship. He smiled, raised his hands, and hugged the soldiers and officers who came down one by one—these kingdom soldiers who returned from the voyage were tanned, and when they smiled, they only saw snow-white teeth.Their clothes are no longer neat and tidy, the sea breeze has wrinkled them, and brought salt stains, traces of white powder are distributed all over their bodies, and each one is as ragged as refugees.

"How long have they been sailing?"

Glo was a little curious. He had experienced going to sea in the game before.Seeing the appearance of these soldiers, he didn't think this was just a routine offshore cruise.

"Probably, close to two months."

"Two months? Have they gone to overseas islands?"

Glo made some calculations in his mind and determined the radius of action of the warship. Based on the charts in his memory, he roughly guessed where these soldiers might have been.

"Yes."

Seren beside him nodded. Facing this "Messenger of Karsus", he was open-minded and did not hide anything.

After a conversation, Glo continued to look at the "Palmeiras". His eyes moved from the mast and gun cabin to the lower part of the hull. He noticed that this battleship had a very shallow draft - this It may very well mean that the Royal Navy obtained a large amount of supplies through this voyage.

It seems that they are not completely sitting still.Glo secretly analyzed in his heart, but when he was connected with the embarrassing financial situation of the Royal Navy, he thought maliciously: These things may have come from looting?

From this point of view, everyone is essentially a peer.

The bandit leader snickered secretly. He saw the marks and traces left by some artillery fire on the hull, and began to believe in this possibility more and more in his heart.

After the "Palmelas" docked at the port, the soldiers and officers on the voyage came down one by one, and walked into the barracks under the reception of their comrades in arms, for sanitation and cleaning work, physical examination and food supplements.Other soldiers boarded the battleship to inventory and transport supplies.Glo, Seren, and the Royal Navy Admiral Leos of the Avlon Fleet returned to the barracks.

A trace of calmness finally appeared on Leos' face.

It seems that this batch of supplies is of great help to the current situation of the Royal Navy.Glo sat in a chair, flipping through the information about this local fleet, and communicating with the other two from time to time.

In addition to some small ships, the local fleet of the Kingdom Navy in Avlon has a total of 4 three-masted warships such as the "Palmeiras", and a larger five-masted warship as the flagship, well, it is called " The Mayflower.”Glo glanced at the relevant parameters, and he was certain that among the entire fleet of the Kingdom of Elante, the flagship of the Aflon local fleet was ranked high in terms of tonnage and combat power.

But, where have these big guys gone?

The bandit leader collected himself, and an answer gradually emerged from the bottom of his heart.
