Perhaps because of the relatively large population in Xinkuaiji, the infrastructure in and around the city is very good. At least Lawrence thinks that the asphalt roads on this road look much smoother than the cinder roads in the suburbs of Baiyingbao, and
The carriage does not feel bumpy at all when running on it.
Not only are they similar in age, but they are both girls with extraordinary careers in the physics department. So Saphire and Sakura Okita chatted together quickly after getting in the car. Lawrence took this opportunity to get more from Zhu Yan
Information about the destination of this adventure.
The ship in front of the wreckage they were going to explore this time came from the Mauryan Empire. More than 300 years ago, Cathay ended the Dark Age and started the era of civilization expeditions. On the one hand, it was to find more living space, and on the other hand, it was
To save others who are trapped in darkness.
In this great era, Cathay gained a lot of resources and praise. At the same time, it also saved many civilizations that were in trouble or even on the verge of extinction. For example, Yingzhou and Goryeo successfully got rid of barbarian tribes, evil races, and
The invasion and enslavement of creatures from the lower planes were liberated, and they finally joined the Eastern Alliance with Cathay as the core.
However, this process was not smooth sailing. Due to various reasons, a lot of frictions and conflicts broke out. The most serious one was the war with the Maurya Empire.
The cause of that war was the dispute between the two sides over the ownership of Lingyamen Island, the most important strait outlet of the Nanyang Islands. The war lasted for three full years and finally ended with the Mauryan Empire's complete withdrawal from the Nanyang Islands.
When the war first broke out, the Mauryan Empire chose to go to war undeclared, and used troop carriers disguised as ordinary merchant ships to carry troops to sneak attack and capture Lingyamen Island. After opening this channel, the Mauryan Empire then dispatched a large number of warships
Go north to attack Cathay and its allies' various routes and coastal cities.
This batch of warships did cause some serious trouble to the Eastern Alliance at that time, but correspondingly, only one out of ten of them were able to return to Lingyamen Island in the end. Obviously, the habitual friendliness and restraint of the Cathayans gave them a
The Mauryan Empire had an illusion. In their eyes, Cathay, which chose to trade with forces from all over the world instead of directly robbing with its own strength, was a weak force. That's why they chose to disperse their fleets in an attempt to obtain more.
The part of the hull that Lawrence and the others are looking for today is the furthest fleet of the Mauryan Empire. Back then, this fleet went through an expedition that reduced its number by 1/3 and then arrived in the New World. Because they had heard about it before
The Cathayans' colonies in the New World are so rich that they want to grab a good share of them here.
But what happened later proved that they were wrong. This expeditionary fleet ran into Cathay's New World Squadron before it saw any colonies. At the same time, the extraordinary people in the fleet were also killed by several people who were living in seclusion in the New World at the time.
The strong man from Cathay was killed easily.
In such a one-sided battle, the Talwar flagship of the Mauryan Empire Expeditionary Force was quickly sunk by concentrated fire, and the caster commanding the ship also chose to self-destruct amid the siege of many powerful Cathays.
.
It's just that during the battle, no one thought that the flagship was actually equipped with a special escape facility. The chaos on the battlefield also prevented everyone from paying attention to the escape cabin that had a stealth facility and chose to escape from the bottom of the sea. As a result, the battle
Later, when the wreckage of the ship was inspected, traces of the existence of this thing were discovered from the large hole in the bottom of the ship.
But at that time, the people who knew the details of this thing were either dead or had completely escaped. No one knew what was on the deck of this warship, so naturally it did not attract everyone's attention. At the same time, because the Peacock was completely wiped out
The Imperial Expeditionary Fleet had too many post-war matters to deal with, and there were rumors at the time that the second batch of the Mauryan Empire's expeditionary fleet was about to arrive. The Xinzhou military and even the entire colony were in an extremely busy state.
Therefore, the search for the life capsule of the flagship of the Mauryan Empire's expedition fleet was regarded as a very trivial matter, and was gradually forgotten. Only dusty files were left stored in the archives of the Republic. Until Zhu Yan discovered it a few days ago.
After learning the treasure map, he used the power of his family to retrieve the information that had been sealed for hundreds of years.
Of course, Lawrence and the others were also betting. After all, no one knew what was in the ruins. The last information Zhu Yan got was only a simple route map and the information left by the only survivor.
A good message, but after so many years, no one knows what has changed inside.
Half an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped. Then Lawrence and the others changed all the equipment in the carriage. But when everyone was fully armed and ready to set off, Lawrence and Zhu Yan looked at each other and smiled at each other.
.Because the two people are dressed very similar, both carrying long guns on their backs and two short guns on their bodies.
"I really didn't realize that your outfit actually has a camouflage effect. You don't look like a warlock at all." Looking at the two men who looked almost the same, Saphiel, who was wearing a simple plate armor, said to
Lawrence joked, "But this is good, as it can prevent possible enemies from concentrating on killing our spellcasters in the first round."
Okita Sakura, who was standing next to her, also nodded. This time she was wearing the same light green haori as when she fought before. But underneath the haori was also wearing a Yingzhou-style chainmail called a lock foot.
.
Based on what they had seen on the map before, Lawrence and the others first continued walking forward for six kilometers along the road at their feet, and then got off the road and headed straight to the seaside. This route would take 1/3 longer than driving in a straight line, but it has the advantage of
It can greatly reduce the distance traveled in the wild.
After traveling for three hours, Lawrence and the others successfully arrived at the seaside. I have to say that the road they just chose was indeed easier to walk. Apart from seven or eight scattered goblins, they did not encounter any monsters along the way. And these seven or eight
As soon as the goblin appeared, it was directly chopped down by Okita Sakura and Saphiel, and even Lawrence and Zhu Yan didn't have time to shoot.
"Help you save a few bullets." This is what Saphiel said when he walked up to Lawrence after cutting down the group of wandering goblins. Lawrence had to admit that when facing such a small batch of weak monsters, the sword
It is better to use than firearms, especially in terms of cost.
"The sea here seems a little different from what I've seen before?" Looking at the sea under the setting sun in front of him, Sephiel asked Lawrence curiously. "In my impression, the sea is always blue."
As Saphiel said, both the sea near Eagle Castle and the sea near Briton's capital are blue. But now the sea in front of Lawrence and the others is a light yellow color similar to mud.
"This is because the nearby Huangni River keeps flushing a large amount of river water with mud into the sea." Sakura Okita said, "And the sea water here is relatively calm, so the sea water turns yellow."
"This will also make it more difficult to find our target." Zhu Yan looked at the sea in front of him and said, "The underwater visibility in this place will definitely not be too high, and we will probably need to stick to the seabed.
Only by touching the bottom little by little can we find what we are looking for.”
"That's not necessary." After speaking, Lawrence summoned the shadow of an ordinary fishman and an elite fishman. "This is the ability given to me by my blood. I can control them within a range of two hundred meters. Here
The water is not deep, so for the early reconnaissance, we can wait on the water in a boat, and then I will direct them to conduct reconnaissance."
"If that's the case, that would be great." Zhu Yan looked at the sun that was about to set. "But it is still a bit dangerous to go out to sea in a small boat at night. Let's take action tomorrow morning."
