The Rousey broke through the wind and waves and entered the Blind Sea Channel.
Following the Rosey to the left and right were the Tahama and the Kilga.
The engines of the three steam frigates were turned on at full speed, and within five minutes, they all entered the sea channel.
As soon as they entered the sea channel, Quins and others had a different feeling. It was windy and rainy, and the waves were rolling. This was the most stable environment in the sea channel. Even though the largest channel in the sea channel was five nautical miles, but due to the two sides of the sea channel,
There are tall wind pillars, and within one nautical mile on both sides of the channel, there are rapid eddies. Ships cannot sail on them for a long time, otherwise they will only be sucked into the wind pillar wall, and the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed.
However, this little bit of wind and waves is just a trivial matter for a steel ship like the Rousey.
After half an hour of sailing, the three frigates had widened a considerable distance from the Church of Storms fleet.
Only then did Tankard let out a sigh of relief: "It's safe for now."
Quins didn't reply. He stood at the stern of the ship and looked at the Storm Fleet that had pulled away, thoughtfully.
Judging from his observation, the Storm Fleet of the Church of Storms did not rush to pursue, but left more than 20 ships behind, blocking the entrance to the Blind Ge Sea Channel, and the remaining ten ships entered the sea.
The ships in the channel were all giant steam-steel ships that sailed unhurriedly into the sea channel, driving all the merchant ships sailing along the way toward deeper sea channels like ducks.
"The Church of Storms seems to have a more hidden plot." Quins said.
Tankard looked ugly. He was not a fool. After the crisis was temporarily resolved, he naturally discovered the anomaly of the Church of Storms. At this time, there were not only three of their frigates near the Rosey. Along the way, they encountered six more frigates that had entered.
Among the merchant ships in the sea channel, one of them was directly set on fire by the storm fleet because it could not escape in time, and was buried under the sea.
As the sea channel deepens, the width of the channel is also slowly shrinking. At this time, it has shrunk to four nautical miles. The wind and waves are getting stronger and the waves are more turbulent. The narrow sky has also become densely covered with clouds, and thunder is not shining in it.
Quins looked solemn. This environment is very favorable to the Church of Storms. It is almost their home field. If the two giant steam-steel ships at the entrance of the sea channel are fighting each other one-on-one at 50-50, then at this time
In comparison, Quins felt that a 30% winning rate for his side was already quite overestimated.
Under this vicious cycle, the three steam frigates including the Rossay did not dare to turn around and fight for their lives.
"Although I don't want to sound depressing, our top priority now is not to figure out the plans of those behind us. We only have five days of supplies." Tankard said with a wry smile.
"Five days?" Quinns was surprised: "If I remember correctly, the supply that the Rosette can store is at least three months, right? How can it only be five days?"
"It's not that Ingemar, who controls the supply channels at the port. Every time we go on patrol, we will only be given an extra day or two of supply." Tankard gritted his teeth, looking like he wanted to eat Ingemar.
.
Quince touched his chin: "As expected of a noble, you directly control our lifeline. In this way, you can't even think about disobedience."
"You're short of words, greedy. This guy doesn't want to have extra supplies." Tankard smiled coldly: "Since the incident in his damn treasury, this matter has only gotten worse."
Quins let out a long breath, was this retribution coming too soon?
After thinking about it, Quins immediately said: "Don't worry about the supplies, I will help you solve it."
He was not bragging. In the dead seal card, he had indeed sealed a lot of supplies, enough to feed the whole ship for a month. And even without what he had prepared, he could still summon mermaids to sacrifice and go fishing in the sea.
From this point of view, he wanted to take a two-pronged approach, using the supplies he had prepared while going into the sea to fish. After all, since he had entered the Blind Ge Sea Channel, he had to consider the possibility of crossing the sea channel and reaching the Western Continent directly.
.It will take at least more than two months to cross the sea channel from the Blind Ge Islands to reach the Western Continent.
Judging from the situation, those guys following behind are not problems that can be solved in a short while.
On the fifth day of going deep into the sea channel, the channels of the sea channel are becoming more and more weird. The average channel width is fixed at about three nautical miles, but in the surrounding environment, high gravity areas and light gravity areas have frequently appeared.
Gravityless areas, chaotic gravity areas, and other sea areas that appear randomly.
Every day's sailing requires caution.
The Storm Fleet behind them was still unhurried and followed the group of ships neither far nor near.
Why a group of ships? Because after five days, four more merchant ships joined in. This time, a kind-hearted merchant ship reminded them that no one is short-sighted and wants to test whether the cannonballs of the Storm Fleet behind them are powerful enough.
Starting from the sixth day, the channel no longer became flat, but became three-dimensional. The channel five days ago, no matter how the gravity changed, only acted on the sea surface. But starting from the sixth day, sections of the channel began to be affected by gravity.
Under the influence of gravity, it becomes ups and downs, and the height difference between them is as high as a hundred or ten yards, and as low as several yards, which creates a strange scene.
"This is really like watching marine life in an aquarium." Quins stood on the side of the ship and sighed.
At this time, the Rosette was sailing on a sloping sea with a drop of two hundred yards. If you want to climb onto such a sea, the ship cannot sail straight up at a ninety-right angle, which may cause the ship to capsize. Instead, you need to
Take the zigzag route.
The three steam frigates, who had no trading experience, naturally did not know this, but they only had to follow the increasing number of merchant ships.
Through the slope at an almost 45-degree angle, you can see many marine creatures jumping around, and occasionally a few clumsy ones penetrate the sea directly and fall on the deck from a high place, becoming the crew's next dinner.
At this time, Tankard walked to Quins and felt a lot more relaxed: "Huh, I finally appease them. Thank you for the supplies this time."
Quins waved his hand: "No, this is just for me. Without them, I can't sail the Rosey to the Western Continent alone."
"Is it true that we can only go to the Western Continent?" Tankard asked worriedly.
Quines: "My worry is whether we can still reach the Western Continent."
Tankard was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Quins meant: "You mean, the Storm Fleet will take action halfway."
Quins: "Then why do you think the Church of Storms does this? Is it just to attract business for the Western Continent?"
Tankard was silent, the Church of Storms had put so much effort into it, and everyone knew very well that their plot was not trivial. At this time, everyone was back to the sea area, which was actually beyond the borders of the empire.
Blind Ge Fleet, it’s better not to count on them.
