Extraordinary Sailing

There are only Ivan and Milan in the captain's room.

A nautical chart was spread out on the desk between the two of them.

The quality and graphics of the nautical drawings are very new, and it can be seen at a glance that they are high-end products drawn recently. Countries, coast shapes, islands, reefs, water depths, buoys, lighthouses, supply points, habitats of dangerous marine life, etc. are clearly marked on the silky paper.

Moreover, the scope of this nautical chart is unexpectedly large, including the entire "Tulip Alliance" offshore trade route and more than a dozen commonly used ocean routes, including the most eye-catching route to the New World.

Compared with the one Ivan received from the Fleet Command before departure, the scope is much wider and more detailed.

Ai Wen, as a qualified naval captain, of course knows the goods. This nautical chart can be seen at a glance that it is not a common goods, and it is even very likely that it belongs to a special collection that the Vice Admiral did not know where to get it.

Well, the most important thing is that while it is priceless, the level of secrecy must be very high

Milan was unaware of Ivan's strange eyes, and had already entered the role of navigator, focusing all his attention on the nautical chart, sliding his fingers on the chart and saying to himself:

"At the current speed of the 'Conch', we will be able to reach the Shell Strait in three days, and after that is the open sea area in a vague sense.

I don't recommend continuing to hunt down the big pirates who can roam the open seas. In addition to too many uncontrollable risks, our "Conch", a mere sixth-level ship, can't adapt to the changeable climate and sky in the open sea.

Unless a naval fleet is formed to perform its duties, the error tolerance rate is too low for a ship to break into it recklessly. Just a little accident will kill us at sea. "

Around the nautical chart, two people are planning the next itinerary. Because it is a hunting mission for ferocious pirates, where the danger lies, the choice of target and route is particularly important.

At this time, there is no so-called difference between the captain and the navigator, the superior and the inferior, and all of them are treated seriously, and they candidly express their opinions.

"Well, I agree with your point of view. Although in the Naval Academy, I have also learned how to deal with the complicated sea conditions in the open sea, but our main members are still recruits after all, and our sixth-tier ships go directly to the open sea for everyone irresponsible.

But even if you don't go to the open sea, there are still things you can do in the offshore area.

More than ten days have passed since the "Moby Dick Port Massacre", let us think about the possible moves of the pirates who have acquired a large amount of wealth."

Long before the departure, Ivan actually had a comprehensive plan before he got Milan to join, and now Milan's arrival also adds an insurance for the smooth progress of the plan. At this time, naturally, she will no longer hide it from him.

"You mean a neutral port?!"

Milan understood Ivan's meaning in an instant.

Although pirates are chasing treasures in their bones, they are also insulated from treasures. They are destined not to return to the civilized world, but they have no concept of saving money, and carpe diem is the norm.

No matter how much wealth you have in your hands, it will be squandered in a very short period of time, at least for most of the pirates.

However, although the ports of civilized countries are full of flowers and can meet all their needs, the risks for pirates are too great.

Fortunately, different countries and forces have different attitudes towards pirates. In addition to the "Tulip Alliance", which has received the grace of the "Royal Power and the Goddess of Navigation" to kill pirates without mercy, there are also many pirates of various sizes scattered on the east coast of the Black Sea. A unique neutral port that allows pirates to dock.

There is a gold-selling den for pirates and a cornucopia of neutral forces!

Of course, in addition to the neutral ports, there are many private ports all over the sea, but no one can tell.

Seeing Milan's expression, Ivan smiled slightly, and the smart man really didn't need to waste his words, and then stretched out his hand and pointed lightly on the nautical chart. Milan followed his fingertips to look over, and his face suddenly realized: "The largest neutral port city on the east coast 'Attilan'!"

Awakened by Aiwen's words, with Milan's wisdom, he instantly understood Aiwen's original intention.

"It turns out that the route you chose at the beginning had a purpose!

Calculated according to this time, from the 'Moby Dick Port' in the south of Ilia to 'Attilan', our position is almost the only way they must pass in a straight line, as long as they don't go around the open sea, or intentionally make a big detour. circle, otherwise there is a high probability that they will pass through this sea area.

Coupled with your seabird reconnaissance, within 50 kilometers they may bump into your muzzle without even noticing it. Even without me, it is impossible for the 'Conch' to gain nothing this trip.

You guys are really insidious enough! "

Aiwen deliberately slapped his face:

"What is insidious, is this wisdom, okay?

There are more than 200 pirate ships in total, all of which have made a fortune in Moby Whale Port. Even if not many choose to go to Atilan to spend time and wine, it is absolutely impossible not to. It is much better to sit here and wait for a rabbit than to search the sea aimlessly.

Coupled with your divination skills, it is much easier for us to predict when there will be pirates passing by here than to predict the specific location of a specific pirate.

Think about it, those pirates were carrying pockets full of treasure, singing songs, thinking that they would be able to spend a lot of time and have a good time, and suddenly they were robbed by the horse bandits and suddenly came into our hands, right? A big surprise? ! "

"Although I only saw your bad taste, I agree with this plan." Milan gave Ivan a strange look, always feeling that there was a hidden meaning in this matter that he could not understand.

But he didn't care too much, and put forward his own suggestion instead.

"I just boarded the ship, so I don't know much about the means of the 'Conch', especially you.

Let's sort out the power of our side in advance. When I do divination, I will do a power comparison. If we encounter an existence that we can't afford to provoke, we'd better avoid it for a while. "

It is worth mentioning that the "School of Prophecy" to which Milan belongs has obtained purer spiritual power after abandoning most of the offensive spellcasting abilities, and has made great achievements in early warning, detection, mind, and curses of doom.

There are only two of them as official knights with extraordinary strength on the ship, and under them, the two peak apprentice knights, Gary the boatswain and Vader the sail captain, are the most powerful. Others include captains and officers and all enlisted men who are either too old or too young to be a regular force.

In addition to the personnel on board, the most important measure of combat effectiveness of a warship is the number of artillery on board.

Whether it is a copper cannon or an iron cannon, it is a reflection of a country's financial strength and technological level. Even many scholars in this era often measure their naval strength by the number of artillery in a country.

It's just that as a sixth-tier ship, the "Conch" has only 20 shipboard artillery (the only shipboard artillery that lasted until the end of the Age of Discovery was smoothbore).

The firepower is far from powerful, so in addition to the necessary armed forces when facing pirates, we also need a little wisdom!
