The sun is shining high, the sky is clear, seabirds are flying across the blue sky, and the clouds are stretching lazily.

Under the leadership of Captain Howson, the three-masted warship "Explorer" belonging to the Idar Navy was moving forward with difficulty against the sea wind and huge waves.

On the rough sea, the rolling waves hit the hull again and again, and the flag with the Stuart family emblem was hoisted, rustling under the roar of the sea wind.

The repeated crashes of the waves also caused the bow of the three-masted warship of the Idar Navy to tilt up, and then fell again and again, splashing scattered waves on the bow.

The three-masted warship built by Idar Naval Shipyard can be regarded as the most advanced naval warship of this era, but... on this boundless sea, it is still like a lone boat.

The violent turbulence and the shaking of the hull are enough to make the most experienced sailors vomit and have diarrhea. However, for the Idar crew who have been at sea for more than a month, these shakings have long been accustomed to it.

I vomited and vomited, and I got used to it.

When they first started sailing across the ocean, their bodies would indeed be extremely uncomfortable, but... after all, they were the best sailors in the Principality of Idar. When such bumps gradually became the norm, they were also affected by their strong willpower. Next, I gradually got used to the bumps of ocean voyage.

In their opinion, the bumps and wind and waves in front of them were considered excellent weather conditions.

Ocean sailing and ordinary offshore shipping are two completely different concepts.

Storms and waves on the sea may cause thunderstorms and tsunamis, and various climate changes may occur...

These are all unpredictable and uncertain factors in this era.

so,

Even with the nautical charts provided by Bruno, ocean navigation is still an extremely difficult task.

At this moment, Captain Howson was standing in front of the window of the captain's cabin, observing the surrounding sea with a telescope, and behind him, a detailed and complete chart was framed on the wall of the captain's cabin.

The nautical charts provided by Bruno allowed Captain Howson to successfully avoid many meaningless explorations.

but……

After all, this is the first ocean voyage of the Idar people. Even though Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, has provided extremely important assistance, everyone, including Captain Howson himself, is extremely nervous.

You know, not only is this place far away from the mainland of Idar Principality, but it is also an unknown place that no one has ever set foot on.

If you say you don’t panic, that’s definitely impossible!

But fortunately, the navigation chart provided by Bruno was quite reliable. With the specially marked desert islands and signs, the "Explorer" was able to move forward on the correct route.

"It should be... arriving soon..."

Captain Hausen looked at the vast sea in the distance, then came back to his senses and carefully compared the navigation chart hung on the wall.

It takes a month to get back in touch with where I am now...

If there is nothing wrong with the nautical chart given by the Duke, then the New World that the Duke mentioned, the land marked as the Forgotten Land on the map, should be close at hand!

"Captain Howson..."

While Captain Howson was in a daze, his deputy pushed open the door and entered: "It's already lunch time."

As he spoke, he took the cans and biscuits from his hands and placed them on the corner of the table.

Compressed biscuits, canned vegetables and a piece of dried meat.

Whether it is Captain Howson or an ordinary sailor, this is their daily diet.

In fact, when he first set sail, Captain Howson did not really realize how much benefit these foods could bring to the sailors.

but……

When they carried out the last land replenishment in the French Islands and continued sailing toward the vast ocean in the northeast on the "Explorer", the advantages of these easy-to-preserve foods were gradually revealed.

Small size and ease of storage are just the tiniest aspects.

Compressed biscuits are extremely satiating, while canned vegetables and canned fruits can provide sailors with essential nutrients. This is simply an artifact for sailors who are unable to replenish their food on land!

Because they avoid the occurrence of septicemia and ensure a healthy and reasonable diet for sailors!

After biting a large piece of dried meat, Captain Haosen said sternly:

"Well... let me tell you, if everything goes well... we will see the outline of the New World this afternoon!"

Hearing this, the adjutant showed a rare look of surprise on his face.

after all……

Although the Idar navy has unswerving beliefs, has the great trust of the Duke, and hopes to make great achievements, but...ocean voyage is undoubtedly an extremely boring thing.

If it weren't for the Duke who brought entertainment activities such as poker and mahjong to the ship, and also equipped the three-masted warship "Explorer" with teachers, he could use his free time to teach the soldiers to read aloud and spell.

This boring life day after day has long given these soldiers some trouble.

“! @ioup\u0026fafs%……”

Just as this was happening, there was a sudden loud noise on the deck. A naval soldier rushed over and knocked on the door of the captain's cabin.

"Captain Hausen, come and take a look. Something happened behind you..."

Hearing this, Captain Haosen suddenly looked solemn.

We are almost there. If any unexpected problems arise now, we may be in vain!

so,

Captain Howson immediately followed the sailors and came to the deck behind the three-masted warship.

At this time, a large group of naval officers and soldiers had gathered there.

"What happened?!" Captain Haosen frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

Everyone heard Captain Haosen's voice and turned their bodies slightly to make way for him.

"Probably someone who fell into the water! Captain!"

One crew member said excitedly:

"Maybe the waves just carried him here. The hook and lock on his body just happened to be hung on the hull of the ship. Huma Oaks discovered him."

"Well done! Come back and add drumsticks to Huma Oaks!"

Captain Howson was delighted.

And not only him, but also the faces of the surrounding crew members were gradually filled with expressions of surprise.

You must know that this sea area is definitely a place where Idar and imperial ships have never set foot before.

But……

The Idar naval ship actually discovered a drowning man of unknown origin here!

There is only one explanation, and that is... I am not far from the unknown place marked on the navigation chart!

Moreover, it is still an inhabited land!

only……

After the joy, Captain Howson frowned.

Although it is very possible that he has found that distant continent, but... if there is a powerful country like the Norman Empire on that continent, how can the Idar people gain a foothold? How should we expand our territory?

It would take at least a month to get from the Principality of Idar to this land. With a boatload of several hundred people, it would be difficult to gain a foothold on this continent.

Moreover...except for a navigation chart from the Duke, all the Idar people know nothing about this distant land.

If the country on this land is more powerful than the Principality of Idar, with a wider territory and a more powerful army...

So is today’s overseas exploration just attracting wolves into the house? Are you telling the other party that there are traces of humans overseas?

Thinking of this,

Captain Howson quickly leaned down and tested the breath of the man who fell into the water.

seem……

Still alive and breathing!

"Where is the military doctor? Where is the military doctor? Why hasn't he come yet?! We must save him!"

If the Idar people can save this man who fell into the water, then... they may be able to understand everything that happened on that continent through the person in front of them, and make judgments and responses in advance.

Although the soldiers of the Principality of Idar are all very interested in expanding their territory and earning military honors, they still need to be cautious.

What's more, at this time, the long distance between them and the mainland of Idar Principality made them rely on themselves, the cooperation of naval soldiers and the weapons and equipment they carry with them.

"The medic is here! The medic is here!"

Amidst a burst of chaotic shouts, the doctors accompanying the army finally squeezed over and began to press the chest of the drowned man with the assistance of assistants to drain out the seawater that had been poured into the water.

"You must save me! Arrange soldiers to guard you. If you don't obey after you wake up, you'll be beaten first!"

Captain Howson's benevolent side is only reflected when facing the Idar people.

Therefore, before the man who fell into the water in front of him clearly explained the information that the Idar people wanted to get, Captain Hausen would definitely be 200% alert and alert to possible changes.

"Everyone else is fully armed and ready to go back to their posts. We are getting closer to the continent on the other side of the ocean!"

Captain Howson cleared his throat and said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

The small episode in the middle did not affect the sailing speed of the "Explorer" at all.

As the distance to the destination became closer and closer, the originally blue sea slowly began to change color.

"This may be... the weather or water quality, right?"

In the captain's cabin, the first mate glanced at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and said with some uncertainty.

Hearing this, Captain Howson said nothing, but his tightly furrowed brow revealed the anxiety deep in his heart at this moment.

At this time, the color of the water swayed by the "Explorer" has become darker and darker.

And the further you go, the darker the color of the sea water becomes. If you go further, the color of the sea water becomes dark and depressing.

The sea water here is not a visual experience due to the refraction of light, but is completely dark!

so……

"Captain! Come and take a look! You can already see land in the distance!"

Suddenly, the first mate's exclamation interrupted Captain Howson's thoughts. He quickly stepped forward, took the telescope handed over by the first mate, and looked at the gray sky in the distance through the glass in front of the captain's cabin. one slice.

seem……

It’s really land!

"Has the guy who fell into the water woke up?!" Captain Howson suddenly asked.

"not yet……"

The one who spoke was the adjutant on the side. In order to facilitate reporting to the captain, he was responsible for the arrangements and care of the people who fell into the water.

"No matter what, we're already here. Just go up and take a look and you'll find out what's going on!" Captain Hausen pondered for a moment, and finally ordered: "Look for a suitable anchorage, and we're ready to land!"

"yes!"

As the distance to land got closer and closer, the soldiers of Idar Navy became more and more nervous.

There is naturally excitement and the desire to make great achievements, but at the same time there is also the nervousness of facing the unknown.

after all……

Not only Captain Howson could see the dark water that was swayed by the "Explorer", but they, the most ordinary naval soldiers, could also clearly see it.

As the distance from the land gets closer and closer, not only the color of the sea water becomes darker.

There are even countless skeletons floating next to the rugged rocks on the coast. They are densely piled up under the beating of the waves, which looks particularly terrifying.

What surprised the Idar soldiers the most was... even the color of the corpses also had a black luster!

Yes, if Bruno was here at this time, he would definitely recognize that the skeletons in front of him are exactly the same as those found by Agent Idar in the Venice Armory!

The only difference is...

On the coast of the Principality of Idar, agents from the Idar CIA found only a black skeleton, but here... looking around, the shallow sea area near the shore was almost completely covered with these floating in the waves. Occupied by the bones!

"duang---pang---"

The skeletons of unknown creatures were "encouraged" by the waves and crowded onto the hull of the "Explorer", making bursts of extremely weak crashing sounds.

If it were other soldiers, they might have turned around and fled long ago.

However, the well-trained Idar soldiers and the brave sailors with high skills still mustered up the courage to shuttle among the rocks and skeletons, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net gradually moved closer to the shore.

They have guns in their hands, cannons on their ships, and in the arsenal on the ground floor, there are even a lot of magic bombs, as well as melee weapons that may be used when exploring the new continent.

And this is where the Idar soldiers’ confidence lies!

Although the drowned man who might live on this land has not yet woken up, the Idar soldiers who dared to take the lead have already begun to prepare for their first landing.

The idea in their minds is actually very simple. Naturally, they cannot return empty-handed after a month of ocean voyage. Now that they are here, they must find out what is in this land on the other side of the ocean.

Whether it's ferocious beasts or other human civilizations, or the unique flora and fauna of this land, as well as gold and silver jewelry, these are the things they want to find out.

Otherwise, they would be sorry for countless people in Idar, and even more so for the entrustment and expectations of the Duke of Idar, Bruno Stuart!
