The Great Age of Voyage of the Elves

Chapter 237 Stronger Strength, More Difficult Challenge

After opening his mouth to ask for a bunch of resources, the Black Pearl continued to rest at the port for another seven days.

During these five days, Anderson worked overtime, processing the raw materials delivered every day, and making rations and supplements that could assist elf training.

The long-term accumulation fermented at this moment, which helped the overall strength of the fleet to rise by a large margin.

During the continuation of these seven days, Chenglong successfully learned the water-type ultimate move "Water Cannon", becoming the first elf on the Black Pearl whose combat power has steadily entered the elite level.

Not long after, Orr's crocodile finally took this step after years of accumulation. He successfully mastered the big move "brute force" of the fighting system, carried out his melee combat style to the end, and also steadily entered the ranks of the elite.

So far, the Black Pearl has two powerful elves whose combat power has reached the elite level. This configuration is enough to match the main ships in the ranks of the navies of various countries.

At the same time, below the elite level, there are two main battle-level quasi-gods, Nian Meilong and Kuailong, and a large number of main battle-level elves on board.

Not to mention that they also have a complete rainy weather system. Even if the elves of other fighters on the ship are not at the main battle level, they can embed themselves in this system to exert 120% of their strength!
Before departure, Mu had successfully taught more than half of the new water elves on board to "pray for rain".

Now if we only compare the reserve and strength of the elves on board, the Black Pearl is now completely confident in 1v1 against any naval capital ship that does not have a commander-level elf.

After going to sea for a year, it is not until now that Mu Zai has truly transformed all his accumulation into the growth of the fleet.

Although there is still a big gap from the general, but in the normal situation where marshals and generals from various countries casually go to sea, he can be said to have officially entered the first echelon of strength at sea, and he is a veritable great pirate.

On this day, everything was ready, and all the crew members who were supposed to come back had returned. Finally, Mu stopped staying, set sail, and left York Harbor.

On this trip, they will first go north along the coastline on the east side of the old road, enter the frigid zone, wait for about a month, and wait for the summer monsoon to come before entering the East China Sea, heading east all the way in the high latitudes of the northern hemisphere, to the New World.

It was the first time for them to take this new route, so it was inevitable that they would be unfamiliar. As a half-way navigator, Sible felt a lot of pressure at this time.

Not to mention that Mu said as soon as he set off, "Let's not take the published route, and try to explore as far north as possible."

It made Sible even more stressed.

The prevalence of piracy requires several key factors, including a prosperous maritime trade route, a complex coastal environment, and an equally important point: there are footholds or secret islands that can be hidden around the route.

Sailing ships are not omnipotent. Even if there are elves to provide fresh water, which greatly extends the cruising range of sailing warships in this era, it is still unrealistic to float on the sea for a long time without landing.

Naval battles and extreme weather will inevitably cause damage to the ship, which needs to be docked for repairs; the food on the ship needs to be replenished from time to time; the psychological state of the crew, including drifting for a long time without landing, will also cause problems.

Therefore, pirates do not always cruise near the route, they also need a foothold.

The current sea chart of the new sea route is completely blank, only a monsoon belt is marked from the old road to the new continent, and the content in the middle is completely blank.

In order to rob a hiding place in the future, Mu decided to use the month before the arrival of the monsoon to try to explore the sea area north of the route.

If you really can't find a hidden island, then consider going to the New World to find a foothold.

The further north you sail, the lower the temperature will naturally be.

At the same time, the elves encountered around him also began to gradually change. As the latitude became higher, more and more ice-type elves such as white sea lions and seal balls began to appear in the sea area.

They even saw a wild group of Chenglong after a rain.

Chenglong is also an ice elf. Most of the time they live in high latitude areas. The closer they are to the Arctic Circle, the greater their population. Before, the Black Pearl has been active in the tropical regions of the South China Sea, so they have never encountered a wild Chenglong.

It was rare to see his own kind, and Mu Chenglong was very excited.

Mu didn't keep her rigidly either. During the non-combat period, he simply let her go and find her kind to play with.

It's just that they also have business to do.

On this day, Mu found Sibul, "Is there a black market you know nearby?"

It should be said that they have just arrived at the starting point of the new sea route, and they are still hovering near the coastline of the old continent.

It's just that the land in this area belongs to the Gardenia Kingdom's territory, and it's not easy for them to go ashore for supplies.

Originally, he had hoped that Sibur would do something, but this time he only responded with a wry smile.

"Captain, I'm sorry, I don't know much about this area. I was mainly active in the South China Sea area before."

In the past, there were very few merchant ships on this route at high latitudes, and the expeditionary forces mainly used this route to go to the battlefields of the New World and the Aloha Empire. Occasionally, there were smuggled cargo ships that were inextricably linked with the expeditionary forces.

So there are almost no pirates to patronize this way.

Sible said that no matter how wild his path was, he would never come here...

At this time, Mu knocked on the table in the captain's cabin with a little annoyance.

"It's been almost ten days since we sailed all the way here. It's best to do a resupply before we officially start exploring."

Now that there are more people on board, the corresponding supply pressure is also greater.

Besides, exploring the unknown sea is a risky behavior with an uncertain time. Of course, he hopes to be fully prepared before setting off.

"No way, let's rob the coastal town once?" Sible suggested.

As a surrendered pirate, Sibur's moral standard at sea in the past was much lower than it is now, and he didn't shy away from robbery at all.

Pirates can not only rob merchant ships, but also rob small towns or small towns with weak coastal defenses.

Of course, a pirate group that dares to do this usually needs a little unusual strength.

Coincidentally, the current Black Pearl has just completed a wave of combat readiness upgrades, and there is no doubt that its strength is not lacking.

It's just that they lack intelligence and purpose.

"Who can be robbed? You can't choose randomly, right? If you come across a hard idea, there is no place for us to repair and repair the ship nearby."

In the past, in the South China Sea, there were sand orange islands mixed with fish and dragons in the middle of the route. When you arrive in the New World, you can also find ports of church forces or local forces. As long as you avoid the colonial companies of the other two countries, there are ways to remedy ship damage or loss of people.

But not here.

The new sea route in the distance is still unfamiliar; the nearby old continent is the territory of other countries.

They are here at this time, and they cannot bear any loss.

Although they are stronger now, the corresponding challenges they face have suddenly become arduous.
