This cruise was uneventful. After sailing at sea for more than half a month, the Silver Wing successfully returned to the Garbraid Military Port.

Sail warships are powered only by wind, and their speed is difficult to guarantee. Offshore cruising is already a task that takes relatively little time and has a relatively high safety factor.

According to the veteran crew members, if you go on an ocean escort mission, such as to the New World, it is normal to leave for several months. Of course, these are tasks that can only be undertaken by at least a fourth-level battleship, and the Silver Wing is no longer qualified.

.

After getting off the ship, the other crew members went to relax, while Alvin and Gary returned to their residence on the beach, ready to continue practicing. They could see clearly that what is more important than extraordinary inheritance is a person's self-control. If they want to be holy in front of others, then

You have to endure the hardship behind your back.

Just when the two of them worked together to clean the room that had been unoccupied for more than half a month, a sailor who was staying on the ship came to report the news. He gasped and shouted: "Your Excellency, Warrant Officer, there is an urgent mission. The captain has sent out a message."

Upon receipt of the call-up order, all personnel will return to the ship immediately."

"Okay, we get it."

Back on the Silver Wing, I saw first mate Perry working overtime to replenish the lost supplies of the Silver Wing. Ivan said hello and went straight to the captain's cabin.

"One-eyed Becky? There is a reward of one thousand golden lions!!!"

"Is this guy so arrogant? How dare he sink a warship?"

"It is said that he is the deputy leader of the Shark Tooth Pirates, and he already has the combat power of a senior knight."

When Ivan arrived at the captain's cabin, the officers on the Silver Wing had already gathered around and had a heated discussion.

On the desk in the middle is a reward order just brought back from the fleet headquarters, as well as a simple piece of information about the wanted criminal.

Seeing the amount of the reward order, not only Ivan but also a group of officers became red-eyed.

What is the concept of a thousand golden lions?

It is almost equivalent to a naval soldier's salary accumulated for a hundred years without food or water, equivalent to ten high-quality war horses, and equivalent to one-fifth of a six-class sloop.

Moreover, this money is directly distributed in full by the Third Fleet Command, and is not restricted by the spoils distribution rules. Whoever kills this guy, this Thousand Golden Lions will belong to him!

Coupled with the possible seizures after fighting against pirates, everyone can have a mouth full of food at once.

Ivan was also surprised. What kind of guy is worth so much money? He greeted Uncle Geer and his colleagues, picked up the information on the table and looked through it.

Why is the identity of the deputy leader of the Shark Tooth Pirate Group not taken seriously by him, and what pirate force on the sea is stronger than the navies of various countries? Terrorist forces that ordinary people dare not provoke are all younger brothers in front of the kingdom's navy.

However, accurate information shows that "One-Eyed" Beqi himself has an extraordinary level of senior formal knight level, and has a record of killing strong men of the same level. Not long ago, his pirate ship even sank a Navy Six in a head-on battle.

class communications ship.

This has to make Alvin marvel at his madness and power.

In fact, there are not no pirates who dare to fight against the navy. Many of the big pirates across the world have the record of sinking warships.

But there are preconditions.

First, you must have a strong strength that makes even the navy fearful. Is it worth it to chase you all over the sea? This strength must be at least the third level and the same as the Grand Knight level; second, don’t let others see it, and don’t be complacent.

Publicize it, let alone make it known to everyone.

However, although this guy named "One-Eyed" Becky already has the strength that is suspected to be at the knight stage, which is beyond the reach of most navies, he is far from the level that the officials are afraid of.

After sinking the warship, you didn't escape immediately and continued to wander around the Third Fleet's jurisdiction. You were simply slapping the officers and soldiers of the Third Fleet in the face. If not you, who would do it?

Ivan doesn't think this guy can be free for long. Now it depends on who is lucky enough to catch his tail. When the warships surround him, unless he can go to the sky and into the sea, the result is bound to be doomed.

"Your Excellency Captain, supplies are complete!"

After a while, First Mate Perry came back and reported to Captain Geer that the supplies had been prepared and the crew had returned.

Scanning the eager eyes of everyone present, Geer nodded and waved his hand: "Let's set sail! According to the command, we will join the Warrior near Tarot Island and search for One-Eyed Becky together.

Gentlemen, the majesty of the Navy cannot be tarnished, and will be washed away with the blood of One-Eyed Bech!"

"Yes! Your Excellency, Captain!"

On the blue sea, the waves are not strong and the wind is sunny, two fifth-level cruisers of similar size are traveling in a cruising formation, one in front and one behind.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp."

The chirping of seabirds is not as friendly and sweet as in the past, but makes people a little irritated.

Two warships, the Silver Wing and the Warrior, have been searching the sea for eight days in pursuit of One-Eyed Becky.

Not to mention One-Eyed Becky, even the other little pirates didn't even see a hair. The well-informed pirates had already gotten the news and were scared away by the huge battle launched by the Third Fleet.

It can be said that most warships without urgent missions have joined the pursuit team. The intensity and large number have been rare in the past ten years.

If it weren't for the fast communication ship and Tern that kept sending the latest information, confirming that One-Eyed Becky had not landed or left the territory of the Third Fleet, a group of people would have thought that he had escaped long ago.

But now, the officers and soldiers on both the Silver Wing and the Warrior are gradually getting a little anxious. Such a large-scale blockade of the sea area cannot be continued indefinitely even with the power of the Third Fleet. The longer it drags on, the more likely it will be.

The more likely it is that everyone will get nothing in the end.

The ocean is too vast for human beings. Even if we just want to find this guy in a small area on the west coast of the Black Sea, it is not much better than finding a needle in a haystack.

Ai Wen's mentality is actually very good. Even if he doesn't find the target, it can still be regarded as an experience.

Just because he might encounter a sudden battle at any time during this period, his special training was temporarily postponed. During this period, Ivan basically spent time under the mast.

Ivan learned the sail control skill very quickly, and he has already reached the level where he can help the sailmaster Jia Bu. Now, the only thing he lacks from a qualified sailmaster is experience.

It has been more than a month since I boarded the ship, and Alvin has completely adapted to life on the ship, and now he feels like a fish in water.

He even thought to himself like a fool: "I am really born to be a man who conquers the sea, hehe."

Standing on the observation deck, facing the slightly salty sea breeze, he looked around. With the help of digital vision, he would not miss any clues.

"Hey, the Warrior sent a signal?"

At this time, Ivan keenly discovered the semaphore played by the Warrior on the opposite side, and interpreted it. The other side knew that there was a small island with fresh water resources ahead, and invited the Silver Wing to replenish the fresh water.

Every drop of fresh water on a sea ship is a precious resource, because fresh water stored for a long time will deteriorate and smell. Therefore, after going to sea for a period of time, sailors will use sugar cane wine, which is the rum that appears in many Western novels and stories, instead of drinking fresh water. On land

It is difficult for people who live on the sea to understand the days when there is a shortage of water on the ship.

As a part-time captain's messenger, Ivan immediately slipped down the mast to report to Geer.

A moment later, following the semaphore played on the Silver Wing, the two battleships turned a corner and headed towards the unknown island.

"The scenery of this small island is quite good. If it were located offshore, there would be many people willing to come here for vacation."

Sunshine, white sandy beach, and a few graceful coconut trees, Ivan took advantage of the first mate to organize the sailors to replenish fresh water, and leisurely sat in a small boat, hanging a fishhook near the island to catch fish.

"Yo, another hook!"

I have to say that in this inaccessible place, the fish have never seen anything like a fishhook, and they are simply cute. Even though Aiwen’s fishing skills are average, he still harvested two buckets full of unnamed big fish in a short period of time.

.

Sailors of this era were too lazy to give names to all kinds of weird sea fish. That was what scholars should do. In their eyes, there were only two types of animals in the sea, edible and inedible.

After returning the fish to the boat, seeing that the sailors' work was not finished yet, Ivan ran directly to the mouth of the island's freshwater river and took a refreshing freshwater bath.

"It's so cool!"

While on the ship, even though the officer's conditions were better, it was a bit intolerable for Alvin not to be able to take a shower regularly. When he seized the opportunity, he naturally did not want to let it go.

I wiped my hair with a towel and returned to the ship. The chef was cooking a barbecue on the deck. The ingredients included the sea fish brought back by Alvin, various seashells found by the crew on the beach, and cured meats in the storage room. Smoke rose in the air.

, which makes people look very appetizing.

Life at sea is hard, and sailors have long learned to enjoy themselves in hardship, and parties and delicious food are just one of them.

Ai Wen looked a little eager to give it a try. Being a single man for two lifetimes, he had honed his good cooking skills and was a little itchy.

He casually picked up a large fish that looked like tuna but with red stripes from the fish bucket. He picked up the kitchen knife on the side and used it casually. With two strokes, he cut the fish like a butcher undressing a cow.

The big fish turned into two large pieces of crystal clear and delicious fish meat.

The kitchen knife in his hand turned into a silvery light, just like the effect in animation, and the shiny and thin fish fillets flew out automatically and landed on the clean dinner plate that had been prepared nearby.

Now Ivan's use of swords is much better than that of the top chefs in his previous life. He is precise, fast and pleasing to the eye.

Such dazzling sword skills quickly attracted a group of people around Ivan, most of whom were relatively high-status crew members on the ship, and the lowest level were irreplaceable technical workers.

"This kid has too many ideas, right?" Neither Geer nor Ivan are the type of swordsmen who regard swordsmanship as their life, and they don't think there is anything wrong with Ivan using swordsmanship in such a place.

I just knew that he invented vegetables like "bean sprouts", taught the ship's doctor several kinds of food and drinks to prevent diseases, and now he has come up with a new way to eat sea fish. I really don't understand where he got so many strange things.

Think wonderful ideas.

After filling the fish fillets, Alvin made a sauce with the ingredients on hand and dipped it in. Although it was less flavorful than the special dipping sauce in his previous life, the fresh fish meat just picked up from the sea seemed to be alive in his mouth.

Coming here has made up for all the shortcomings in taste.
