Elvin was very clear about his plans for the future.
At least in the short term, he would focus on the advancement of his extraordinary power, with the promotion of his military rank and the upgrade of his warship as support.
In terms of his power, it had been less than a year since he completed his extraordinary transformation. Elvin's Knight Path and Wizard Path were both in a period of rapid growth.
Coupled with the Whale Potion, Elvin's body had become more violent. After choosing the school of alchemy, even though he had not been able to switch to a new meditation method in time due to the lack of time, the notes of his predecessors had greatly increased the efficiency of his meditation.
However, Elvin felt that the School of Alchemy, which was more focused on academic research, was still a little far from what he had expected. Even his own spiritual premonition had been vaguely telling him to wait, wait, wait.
Just like the School of Prophecy, which made predictions based on the interaction between one's spiritual premonition and the world. Although Elvin did not have such a prophecy ability, he valued his spiritual premonition very much.
That feeling was like finding a piece of food. It was edible and tasted good, but it was still a little far from being an immortal herb.
Although the School of Alchemy was not bad, it might not be his best choice.
It was because of this faint resistance from his spiritual premonition that Elvin decided to postpone the change of meditation technique. After all, he could change schools at any time before he became an official wizard. With a Will of 0.55, Elvin was not in a hurry to reach that threshold.
Other than that.
The issue of his military rank and position in the navy was something that Elvin urgently wanted to solve. Although he was already the youngest captain of a warship in the kingdom, he was still not satisfied.
Near sea, near sea, open sea, far sea … Although it was never clearly divided into regions, sailors knew that the deeper they went into the sea, the harsher the conditions and the more dangerous it was.
Correspondingly, the more dangerous the region, the higher the requirements for ships and personnel!
Especially for the kingdom's navy, if they wanted to independently carry out missions in the open sea, most of the time, a Level 4 warship was the entry requirement. Even if they took a step back and settled for escorts, they would need a Level 5 warship to join.
Otherwise, if a low-level warship entered the open sea, not only would it not be of help, it would also become a burden to the voyage fleet.
Although he was no longer worried about Anita's safety, Elvin still wanted to visit the New World as soon as possible. This also exposed one of the shortcomings of being in the official system. The degree of freedom was not high, and as a captain, it was difficult to freely arrange long distance trips.
On the other hand, if he were to advance step by step, even though he had made a lot of contributions and had a solid background, it was simply unrealistic for him to continuously jump ranks and become a battleship captain in a short period of time.
And this time, the "Marine Rising Star Project" just gave him a chance to be promoted quickly. What's more, there was the unexpected "Golden Compass".
Elvin is determined to win the title of Marine Rising Star and even the first of the six Rising Stars!
However, there was still a problem that needed to be solved.
"My dear Major Milan, can you do me a favor while you're at it?" Looking at Milan, Elvin's eyes glowed brightly.
"Huh?!"
.....
Originally, he wanted to slowly do this over a long period of time, but his plan could not keep up with the changes, so he could only use some special methods.
After going out to sea and being far away from land, all kinds of risk and uncontrollable factors would increase exponentially. Furthermore, he would have to face vicious pirates, so he could not hold back.
Not only the common Knight's abilities, but he also had to use all kinds of witchcraft and ocean treasures when necessary.
At this time, the reliability of the crew on the ship was especially important. After a cruise mission, Elvin was not satisfied with the crew on the level six ship "Roaring Conch".
Putting loyalty aside, ability was a huge problem!
Other than a limited number of crew members who had the potential to improve and could keep up with his footsteps, most of the others could not be trained.
At the dock of the military port, the level six ship "Roaring Conch".
Pa-
Elvin snapped his fingers.
A cannoneer that Elvin judged to be qualified to stay opened his eyes in a daze.
"Okay, soldier, my test for you is over. Go out and call the next one in! "
"Ah, yes, Sir Captain!" The cannoneer instantly woke up, saluted and walked out of the cabin.
Combined with the inhalation of the "Sleeping Potion" and mental induction, Elvin had mastered the "interrogation" technique that he had trained on "Blood Hand".
Using a little trick to get the crew members who were qualified to stay to tell the truth was a piece of cake. The other crew members who were too weak and had already been removed from the list did not even have the qualifications to make the captain worry about them.
Moreover, because of the captain's identity, he openly asked for a one-on-one assessment of their abilities. Not only did the crew members not have any doubts, they were all very happy.
Hmm … Although using witchcraft on his own people was a little out of line, Elvin did not invade their privacy. Moreover, no matter in his previous life or this life, which honest person who was bound by the rules could stand out? Those who knew how to make good use of the rules lived the best lives.
Desperate times called for desperate measures. Elvin was never a person who would be restrained. He had principles and knew how to be flexible.
Of course, even if they did not pass Elvin's test in the end, everyone received very pertinent advice from Elvin. It was a small compensation.
Half a day later.
Phew —
"It's finally over!"
Elvin, who had let out a long breath, stretched his body.
Below the nine captains, the navigator, the boatswain, the gunner, the gunner, the first mate, the second mate, and the third mate, Elvin determined that only twenty or so of the one hundred or so crew members could stay.
They could be considered the backbone.
These people were all capable in their respective positions, they were tight-lipped, and most importantly, they had a certain level of loyalty to him. Although they had only known each other for a short period of time, their loyalty was still a little cheap. However, as long as they had a certain foundation in the beginning, they could still be slowly cultivated in the future.
Even if they only knew that there was a captain but not a daughter … Ahem … It was not impossible. For an adept who could use the power of the Spirit and an "excellent" captain, this wasn't a fantasy.
As for how to fill the gap, Elvin had already gotten inspiration from the four recruits on the "Roaring Conch", Flake, Barrow, Brown, and Baldwin.
The hundreds of recruits from the same batch who had been with him day and night in the recruit training camp were his best source of soldiers. Moreover, when he was a swordsmanship instructor, Elvin had already used his "Data Analyzing Vision" to build a detailed database of them.
Yes, he knew everything about them.
Moreover, it was difficult to transfer experienced elite forces from the various warships. However, it was easy to do it from the recruits who had served on the Level Six warships for less than a year.
Even the fleet headquarters did not need to be alarmed. He only needed the logistics department, which also managed the soldiers, to issue a transfer order and it would be perfectly solved.
With the relationship between Elvin, Milan, and even Vice Admiral Snyder, it was nothing.
Elvin's plan was progressing smoothly.
In the next few days, while the warships that were ordered to return were still in the harbor, the transfer orders from the logistics department were issued to the Level Six warships. Many recruits who had only been on the Level Six warship for less than a year reported to the "Roaring Conch", which was also a Level Six warship.
Here, they unexpectedly met a recruit from the same batch, a swordsmanship instructor, and a legendary figure who had already achieved meteoric success — Major Elvin Garriott, who was also their current captain!
What made them even more surprised and touched was that as the captain, Major Elvin actually remembered everyone's appearance and name. He even knew their family situation, hobbies, and specialties.
Although most of these recruits were from the bottom of society and were more pragmatic. However, to be valued by the high and mighty captain, they immediately developed a sense of belonging and identity to their new warship and officer.
Just like Flake, Barrow, Brown, and Baldwin, Elvin then easily subdued them with a few tricks.
However, what they did not know was that other than the information on the surface, Elvin knew them much better than they knew themselves.
They were the group of people with the most potential who had been recorded when Elvin first became the swordsmanship instructor and collected the database. They were only here after being carefully selected by Elvin.
It could be said that the essence of the hundreds of recruits who were in the same batch as Elvin had been captured by him in one fell swoop.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Elvin simply went one step ahead and filled up the theoretical capacity of the Level Six warship with 195 people.
In just a few days, before anyone realized it, a huge change of personnel was completed. The faces and spirit of the people on the ship were brand new.
With the old officers and outstanding crew members as the backbone, and the young recruits with great potential as the body, the "Roaring Conch" completed a rebirth in Elvin's hands!
Only … the test of the flames of war!
