I don't know who started it, but the sailors on the two ghost ships knelt on the deck and raised their hands to the sky to pay tribute to the prophet.
Bai Xiaowen smiled, first took out the "Painting of Peony Covering Leaves", and recited the poem on the scroll in a low voice. After receiving the prompt that the charm value increased by 17%, the equipment on his legs "Invasion of the White Eagle" was activated, and he jumped
He jumped onto the mast's sail with one leap.
He waved his hand and the crowd cheered louder.
When everyone's cheers subsided, Bai Xiaowen said loudly: "Everyone, although we are back on the sea, our crisis has not been resolved."
"This is the Bonus Islands, the legendary forbidden land, and the front line of the battle between the human coalition and the snake people."
"In other words, this is a stronghold for the snake people. Maybe if you are unlucky, you will encounter a patrol team of snake people, attracting a large number of plunderers, and plundering us to the dark seabed again!"
"There are two roads before us."
"First, leave quietly like a coward, abandon your fellow humans fighting here, and pray that the snake people will not find you. Within a year, the sea will flood the continent, and humans will be extinct."
"Second, fight like a man, help fellow humans, completely eliminate the snake people here, stop the tide from rising, and return home with honor as a warrior."
"I choose the second option. I have a mission as a prophet and a responsibility as a human being! Now, tell me your choice!"
Among the crowd, low voices of discussion spread.
Suddenly, Captain Julian said: "I am willing to follow Prophet Dio and fight for the destiny of mankind."
After Julian spoke, the sailors on the Forward next to him all spoke in agreement. The atmosphere became heated for a while, and most of the sailors were shouting for fight. Although the remaining few were timid, they did not dare to jump out and bear the situation because of the situation.
The eyes of everyone with contempt.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and nodded. The reason for such a response was not because he had any domineering spirit, but because of the combined effect of many factors.
First of all, the most important reason is the prestige brought by the status of "prophet". Bai Xiaowen's own popularity in the Kuroshio plane is not a decoration. He brought these people back to the surface from the bottom of the sea, which is also a kind of proof in itself, making everyone trust him fiercely.
increase.
Secondly, it was Captain Julian's cooperation. This was also the consensus he and Captain Julian reached before entering the undercurrent.
Finally, let’s talk about the composition of this Free Legion, which is also an army of peons. They are basically prisoners of the Wagata tribe who robbed merchant ships. The largest number of them are sailors and a small number of merchants.
In this era where there are no modern ships and we are still stuck in the era of black powder, flintlocks and cold weapons, those who can board a ship to make a living, whether they are sailors or businessmen, are more courageous than ordinary civilians and are called desperadoes.
It’s not an exaggeration either.
Coupled with the charm value bonus brought by the leaf-covering peony picture, Bai Xiaowen's words are also quite inciting, and it is not surprising that there is a situation where everyone responds.
Bai Xiaowen then ordered two ships to sail to one of the uninhabited islands. The overlooking reconnaissance of the two white eagles, as well as the large-scale mental sensing abilities of Bai Xiaowen and Qiao Rui, are almost equivalent to the radar of this era. If you want to avoid being discovered,
Still no problem.
After landing on the island, the Free Corps went ashore to rest, and Captain Julian distributed the food taken away from the Wagata tribe.
Bai Xiaowen also made further division of labor within the White Phoenix team.
"Now, we have arrived at the Bonus Islands, but we are not familiar with the environment here, so the investigation work is very important. Sister Qiao is in charge of this area."
Qiao Rui smiled and nodded: "No problem, the cooldown time of Falcon Spirit is still two hours."
Bai Xiaowen continued: "The snake-men's bases are all under the sea. Relying on the Falcon Spirit's reconnaissance is not enough. Shuyi, you and Cecilia will bring a few more elite sailors and use this magic conch to dive into the seabed."
Conduct a raid, capture some snakemen, and learn detailed information."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued: "Both ghost ships have assault boats, and both have diving functions. You can just take one or two assault boats into the sea... Well, I will let Delifa follow you.
Go, her mental scanning ability can give you an advantage."
As an advent creature, Delifa has independent mental scanning capabilities, which is completely different from the Bone Mage.
"What about you?" Li Shuyi asked. She was a little unsure and wanted Bai Xiaowen to follow.
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "I have to contact the human commander... Otherwise, with the power we have gathered so far, it will be too difficult to deal with the deep sea lord Vazatas. We must learn to take advantage of the situation."
…
Tsakalo Island is one of the largest islands in the Bonus Sea. It was originally the "Pearl of Calcino" and has a natural port "Tsakalo Port". However, after the snake people ravaged this sea area, it was no longer
No merchant ships are willing to resupply here.
Today, all the human warships moored in Chakalo Port are of different styles.
The keel warship of the Northern Kingdom "Yorni" is rough in workmanship and huge in size. It is in sharp contrast to the petite and exquisite warships with complex patterns and green leaves everywhere. The latter is the warship of the Elf Kingdom "Sistir".
The ship, the entire ship is transformed from an ancient war tree.
Next to it, there is the ironclad ship of the dwarf kingdom "Tolin", which is very different from the crudely made wooden ship next to it. There is almost a gap of two eras. The latter is a ship of the inland kingdom "Artoria", that
In the Kingdom of Knights, many people have never seen the sea in their lives...
"Seeing these uneven warships, I feel that the future of this pan-continental war is bleak."
A tall, short-haired man with a simple giant sword on his back walked in Chakalo Port and sighed softly, "Why can't we pool our financial resources and ask dwarves to mass-produce ironclads?"
"This is not like your style, Lord Alexei Yahan." A female mage in blue robes who followed the man with the giant sword said with a wink.
"I'm just talking in private, Miss Catherine." Yahan showed a wry smile.
"As your adjutant, I must remind you...this weak attitude will only make the morale of the coalition forces even lower." said the blue-robed female mage Catherine.
"That's what you said. I will never say such things again."
Yahan raised his head, looked at the gloomy sky, the dark clouds that could almost be touched with his hand, and sighed: "If the prophet were here...with his guidance, we wouldn't be so confused."
Suddenly, a chirping of an eagle sounded in the distance, and a white shadow flew across the sky.
