Chapter 102: The Cortanay!

Located at the southernmost end of Westeros, Dorn is a huge peninsula with a curved shape.

Although the Stormland borders Dorn, if you want to go from Fengxi Castle to Yangji City, you need to go west to the Red Mountains, then pass through the Prince's Pass, and then travel from west to east to the entire Dorn to arrive at Yangji City located in the easternmost direction.

Fengxi Castle is also located at the easternmost point, so although it is safer to take the land route, it has to pass through a U-shaped bend. In addition, the mountain and desert environments are indeed difficult to walk.

But it is different to walk on the sea. From Fengxi Castle to Yangji City, it is like the two vertices of the U-shaped bend, which can be reached with just a short straight line.

The only problem is that the reason why storm land is called storm land is that storms are raging here all year round.

Especially with the Wind and Snack Castle as the midpoint, the inland sea surrounded by the Peninsula Fengqi Point extending out of the continental shelf, Ismon Island further east, and Tas Island, is called the Boat Bay.

The parents of the Robert brothers, Duke Stephen Baratheon and Duchess Kasanna Ismond, died in a shipwreck.

From then on, Robert hated Boat Bay very much, but he had no strength to change nature. He ordered that the ship be launched near Boat Bay was forbidden.

Later, due to the uprising, his decrees were not fully implemented, but the continuous wars also greatly weakened the water transportation of Fengxi Castle. Large merchant ships no longer passed near the Bosted Bay. If they wanted to land on the storm land, they would mostly dock from the Black Port on the Dorn Sea in the south, and then head north to Fengxi Castle by land.

Only fishermen who need to make ends meet will venture into the sea at the port in the Breaking Ship Bay, which also nourishes a large number of smugglers and pirates.

So generally speaking, if people from Fengxi Castle want to go to Dorn, they mostly take the land route.

But this time, Sir Ponlos brought different news to Gao Xianda.

"I have built a boat for you during your reign." Sir Ponlos said, "Just to be your wedding gift, now I can finally hand it over to you!"

"A boat..." Gao Xianda smiled, "It's so great! Take me to have a look!"

Gao Xianda couldn't wait to urge Sir Ponlos to take him to see the boat.

Sir Ponlos took him to the highest point of the castle. Looking down from the top of the tower, you can see the port below the Wind Breath Castle.

Sure enough, a large ship was parked there.

There were no artillery in that era, so there was not much difference between warships and merchant ships. The difference was the basic factors such as the size of the hull and the speed of the sailing.

The hull of the ship was very huge, with a thick hull, flat deck, five masts of different heights, and a large number of paddlers.

To be a warship, its cabin is huge and can hold a lot of cargo; if it is a merchant ship, it is also equipped with various combat facilities including shooting holes.

In short, it is very grand and Gao Xianda likes it very much.

"This is really a big ship!" Gao Xianda sighed.

"If it weren't bigger, I'm afraid I might not be able to resist the storm of the ship's bay." Sir Ponlos said, "I don't want your father's tragedy to happen to you."

"Thank you!" Gao Xianda said sincerely, "What is its name?"

Sir Ponlos said: "It has just been built and has not been named yet, so you can name it!"

“Since you built it,” Gausenda said, “I want to call it ‘Kotana’!”

"How can this be done?" Sir Ponros was flattered. "What can I do to name your ship, sir!"

"If you don't like it, then call it 'Big Belly Grasshopper' according to its appearance!" Gao Xianda said.

Sir Ponlos: "…"

"Look, I just said that the 'Kotana' sounds more powerful!" Gao Xianda smiled.

Do these two names correspond to each other?

"You can't grow up..." Sir Ponlos smiled, "I'm going to get married soon, but I'm still so unfair."

Gao Xianda also laughed and said, "Then let's just say that, it's called the 'Kotana'! Let's paint it on the hull!"

Since there is such a large ship, Gao Xianda is relieved. Time should be still abundant.

Sir Ponlos had prepared a large number of storm specialties before and put them on the ship. He waited for Gao Xianda and his friends to carry the gifts they received on the ship and then they could set off.

"You are waiting for my good news!" Gao Xianda said to Sir Ponlos.

They chose a calm time, and the sailing during the day was really smooth. The ship performed well, with wind and paddling without wind, and was also very fast.

But at night, the weather is not so refreshing.

The wind first started to rise, and the wind direction was turbulent and volatile. Even the most skilled old sailors were a little unable to master the wind. They unloaded the main sail and continued sailing with the power of paddling.

Soon, heavy rain also came, and the tyrannical raindrops quickly extinguished the torches on the ship. The dark clouds pressed over the top and completely covered the moonlight. Only sudden lightning can make people see the surrounding environment clearly.

This is the power of the storm. If the ship wasn't big enough, I'm afraid that after experiencing such a storm, I wouldn't know where it would be blown.

Gaoxianda has the effect of breaking through the sea. It not only increases the speed of the ship, but also does not suffer from bumps when fighting at sea.

He felt a little restless, so he stood at the door of the cabin for some breathing.

He is not afraid of the lightning in the sky, and lightning is his friend.

But as another thunder and lightning broke through the sky, Gao Xianda seemed to have seen something.

Gao Xianda rubbed his eyes and looked over there carefully, but everything returned to darkness.

Gao Xianda quickly called Dong Xie and Gui Mei.

"What are you doing?" Gui Mei was actually a little seasick.

"Look at that side." Gao Xianda said.

"I can't see it." Guimei shook her head and said, "It's raining, can we not stand outside?"

However, Dong Xie shook his head and said, "No, something happened!"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, a mottled electric flower floated over. With the faint light, Gao Xianda saw a huge black ship following them.

The black ship was larger and longer than their ship, and it was much faster. Under the black ship, there were more than a dozen small clutch ships that could only carry more than a dozen people.

These small boats were moving faster and were gradually surrounding Gao Xianda and his ship.

"Pirates!" Gao Xianda shouted, "Everyone is up and ready to face the enemy!"
