The door to the captain's cabin was slammed shut.

After sitting behind his desk, Alvin breathed a sigh of relief. He reached out and poured a cup of black tea for Ambrose. This was a special treat prepared by the considerate sailors on the ship for the captain.

"Knight Ambrose, please sit down! We are all old friends, you are welcome."

No one can suffer the leader if he suffers. This is a truth that applies to everyone.

For most people, life on board is somewhat difficult, and even for most sailors, if they cannot get a more relaxed position before the age of 35, it will be difficult to persist on the treacherous sea.

But with the service of a bunch of people, Alvin's quality of life is not bad. He heard that some navy captains with noble backgrounds would even bring a team of servants and a dedicated chef on board, which would make life even more comfortable.

In comparison, Captain Alvin's life style is extremely simple.

"Thank you! Captain, just call me Ambrose."

After taking a look at the various strange plants in the captain's cabin, he carefully placed his steel shield and giant sword against the wall, and Ambrose gently sat on the exquisite high-backed chair inlaid with silver wire.

Living like an ascetic for many years, Ambrose is not too interested in luxurious furnishings and exquisite food, but he is willing to respect other people's choices and living habits.

In fact, these things in Captain Irvine's room are all high-end goods that Milan obtained from the Third Fleet Logistics Department through "normal" supply procedures after the "Storm Horn" returned to port from its pirate hunting mission.

Ivan's set is nothing, but the set of furniture in Milan's own room is called luxury!

"Knight Ambrose, you probably want to talk about this mission, right?"

Alvin took a sip of the black tea that he had specifically ordered not to add any "condiments" and got straight to the point.

"Yes, Captain Ivan.

My team and I received an order from the church this time, requiring us to go to the Kingdom of Taylor to help defend against another possible attack by the Pirate King.

I heard that this information was actually submitted by you first, and was later verified and confirmed by the intelligence agency of the Kingdom of Taylor, right?"

Ambrose is not the kind of person who pays attention to red tape. Except for his belief in God, as long as he does not violate the principles, of course he can do it as efficiently as possible.

"It is indeed the information I obtained inadvertently while chasing the pirates. The work of the Kingdom of Tyro proves that the accuracy of this information is guaranteed.

But in fact, even the information I have is very limited. I don't know anything except the name "Leiden Valley".

Even if Taylor's intelligence agency confirmed that there had indeed been a large influx of suspicious people in many cities along the route, it would not be of much help to us in finding Huggins' real purpose."

The sky was getting dark, and Alvin did not shy away from the presence of Ambrose, the knight of the church's iron wall. As he spoke, he lit the "hanging wind chime" on the table.

To be honest, "Leiden Valley" is not too big or too small.

But no matter what the Pirate King wants to do, if this location is known to others in advance, it will inevitably have a negative impact on his plan.

Just like their defense mission, it is certain that Taylor officials will strengthen the local alert level!

With this pirate king's careful mind, he should be able to do it even if he keeps the plan completely secret.

It was like a raid on White Whale Port. No one except himself knew the final destination of the pirate fleet beforehand.

So, why do you want to send people to this area this time at the risk of being exposed in advance? Is it to lure the tiger away from the mountain or is there some other conspiracy? Or is it even something to rely on and not afraid of others knowing?

Therefore, even though Ivan had already passed the information on "Iron William" to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as he obtained it, Ivan was not very optimistic about the possible response of the subsequent alliance.

Although the official power of several kingdoms is far stronger than that of Huggins, there are also many places that need to be defended.

If you want to make a surprise attack, "Octopus Ghost" Huggins' third-level peak extraordinary strength is enough to serve as a sharp nail, driving into the seemingly hard coconut shell in one go.

"Is Your Excellency Ivan not optimistic about this operation? Even if the top leaders of the alliance and the church jointly issued defense orders to other countries?"

After hearing his words, Ambrose was a little confused.

The Kingdom of Phaletis not only sent out Ivan, a rising star in the navy, but also a team of fourteen Iron Wall Knights under his command.

There are even six "Siren's Songs" that have not been mass-produced for the time being, but were just temporarily produced by the wizards of the school.

In his opinion, the league officials have considered every aspect very carefully.

After all, no matter how powerful a pirate king is, with the lessons learned from the "Moby-Dick Harbor Massacre", it is unlikely that there will be any wild pirates willing to take a trip into his troubled waters.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was these wild pirates who suffered heavy casualties after the "Tulip" set fire after the "massacre".

And the Pirate King's own direct power has long since disappeared, without even a single hair being harmed.

Simply based on his own direct subordinates, it is basically impossible to cause such a big movement as a war scene.

Therefore, the senior officials responsible for responding to this incident unanimously believe that if Huggins wants to cause trouble again, the most likely way is to take advantage of the extraordinary power attributed to himself and use the elite of the pirate group to carry out break-in operations!

Counting the captain, navigator, boatswain and his team of iron wall knights on the "Storm Horn", there are already seven official knights and ten peak apprentices.

At that time, the "Moby Dick Port" only contained dozens of second-class extraordinary pirates.

The support personnel from the other five countries, combined with the extraordinary power of Tyro's local high-level officials, and the rapid reaction force set up along the "Leyden Valley" should be enough to block a possible surprise attack under Huggins' command.

"really.

I feel that Huggins' actions cannot be that simple. The prerequisite for the success of the conspiracy is that it remains hidden in the dark.

The official can think of it, and Huggins, who actually holds the absolute initiative in this matter, can't think of it."

Ivan never underestimates any enemy. It is truly foolish to place hope on the enemy for victory if they make inexplicable mistakes!

The previous investigation teams sent by various countries to "Moby Dick Port" have almost confirmed that Huggins is related to the evil god priest.

Which evil sect was the most active on the east coast of the Black Sea during this period?

It must be the "Deep Sea Brotherhood".

Alvin himself has experienced many things.

After joining the army on his first mission, he encountered an unexpected increase in sea monster attacks in coastal areas (an internal military report speculated that their movements seemed to be searching for something);

The "Son of Poseidon" Tiincut whom he met by chance on the way to school (behaving inexplicably provocatively);

Then to the biggest tragedy on the East Coast in the past decade, led by "Octopus Ghost" Huggins.

Ai Wen couldn't help but connect the two, and the senior officials of the kingdoms with broader visions naturally couldn't be without doubts.

Therefore, after the "Song of the Siren" completed the test, in just one month, they had the green light to reach a new "arms sales agreement" as quickly as possible.

Be prepared for the worst to deal with the possible intrusion of the undersea reptiles from the "Brotherhood of the Deep" in this incident.

Then again, if the agreement had not been reached, it was impossible for the senior management of Falatis to let Ivan, the key figure who invented the "Song of the Siren", go out to perform the task.

Even if this is a continuation of the mission involving "Octopus Ghost" Huggins, or it is the collective debut of the "new navy stars" from various countries.

"Just be careful and do our own thing. I have the local garrison commander above me, and you have the Bishop of Salt Lake County above you. Let's stay the same to cope with any changes."

Ivan refilled a cup of tea for Ambrose again and told him the plan he had had in mind from the beginning.

"Ok, I see."

Ambrose thought about it and it was indeed the case. This time he was not fighting alone like the last time in "Moby Dick Harbor".

This time, I am just an insignificant part of the defense force, and I only need to obey the orders from the top.

but

Until now, the various tragic scenes in "Moby Dick Harbor" that day still flashed through his mind from time to time, and the endless wailing of adults, children, old people, and women kept lingering in his ears.

Although I have tried my best to help those who are weak.

But whether it is because of duty or belief, he must find the culprit "Octopus Ghost" Huggins to seek justice for those souls who can't rest in peace!

Putting aside their tasks for the time being, the two chatted about the local customs, astronomy and geography, and of course Milan.

"Mr. Navigator, it was someone"

"Don't worry, it will be fine in two days."

They also have to spend a long journey together at sea, and later fight side by side in a foreign country, so it is very necessary to get to know each other better.

The "Storm Horn" sets off from "Newingport" to the city "Water City Nisk" at the outermost inlet of the "Leyden Valley" in the Kingdom of Tyro. Even with the help of the "Monsoon Goddess", it will take 20 days of non-stop sailing.

about.

Therefore, the bad luck effect on Milan can be eliminated naturally without waiting for the "Stormhorn" to dock.

Ivan doesn't have to worry that Milan's bad luck will affect possible defense tasks after docking, or even his own life.

It’s just that I hope that after today’s “angel’s arrival”, Milan will stop being autistic.

Warm west wind.

Also known as the "Trident Current".

It starts from the "Golden Sea" in the middle of the New World, which spans the entire Black Sea from southwest to northeast, and is divided into three parts when it reaches the Old World:

One current, the Canary Ocean, flows southward from the Kingdom of Ilia to the Treasure Sea, one, the Irminger Current, continues northward into the Northern Islands, and there is the smallest Tesga Current, which turns back and flows to the northern part of the New World.

This warm current has a major impact on the climate on the east coast of the Black Sea, especially in the Tulip Countries and the Northern Islands, which face the Black Sea.

Some scholars believe that it is precisely because of the existence of this warm current that the livable climate of a series of countries in the northwestern part of the continent dominated by "tulips" is created.

Even the northern archipelago, the place closest to the end of the world, the "Eternal White Continent," has excellent ice-free harbors and world-famous large fishing grounds.

and.

For travelers at sea, suitable ocean currents are also a great help for sailing boats, which can greatly shorten the arduous journey of wandering at sea.

but.

Warm currents will change the temperature of local waters, bringing rich nutrients and supporting more organisms at the lower levels of the food chain.

Naturally.

Chasing the warm westerly currents is of course accompanied by a variety of extremely dangerous predators.

Especially in the depths of the Black Sea, even the ruler of the sea, the sea monster, often appears here.

Putting all the conditions together, although a sailing ship sets out from the "Golden Sea" to go to Tulip, theoretically speaking, the westerly warm current is an excellent sea route, which can reduce the original voyage of at least three months by one-third.

But in practice, few captains are so courageous and dare to take such a "shortcut"!

However, today is an exception.
