Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the two battleships had been wandering in this area for nearly a month.
They accidentally learned from the only surviving pirate in this sea battle, "Greedy" Jobley, the reason for the abnormal increase in pirates in this area.
It was because one of the "Two Golden Sea Kings" had defected to Shilius.
They immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. In a stalemate, any external intervention could break the stalemate.
For example, their Tulip Alliance, and this group of crazy pirates who followed "Oathbreaker" Bradley.
Although Elvin and the others felt that the propaganda slogan "After the founding of the country, everyone is a noble, everyone is above the rest" was too fake, empty, and empty.
After all, even in modern society, there was the objective existence of "although everyone is equal, some people are more equal." If everyone was above the rest, then who would be the exploited?
But the extreme fanaticism born from this was not something anyone could ignore.
Elvin had already sent this information back to "Dirben Castle" as soon as possible, reminding the two big shots to strengthen their defenses.
The pirates left the "Golden Sea" where they had always been active and headed north, and they would inevitably pass through the Tulip Alliance's territory.
It was unrealistic to expect this group of lawless guys to behave and only harass Sark and Atlan's colonies.
The merchant ships in the nearby waters and the coastal cities in the colonies were all under their threat.
At this time, it was only right to stabilize their own backyard.
However.
Elvin could not help but sigh at Shilius's determination.
For the sake of that silver mine, in a situation where they had an obvious advantage, even the pirates who usually did not look straight at them were recruited.
It was just to quickly complete the strategic goal, and at the very least, to buy time for reinforcements from other colonies to arrive.
However, this move was indeed effective. These unorganized and undisciplined guys were likely to be unable to defeat the regular army on the battlefield, but when it came to murder and arson, it was their old profession.
Not to mention Sark and Atlan, even a third party like himself was afraid of being implicated. The forces that could be sent to support the two countries would inevitably be greatly reduced.
With one plus and one minus, the situation seemed to be even more disadvantageous for the fragile three-way alliance.
The only good news was that in the Shipwreck Bay decision, the two pirate kings of the Golden Sea could not reach an agreement. Whether they wanted to participate in this operation was up to their own free will.
Even now, a large number of pirates were still determined to stay in the Golden Ocean and fight for Shilius' wealth to the end.
However, it was not Elvin's concern whether the kingdom would be able to do anything to the remaining pirates after receiving the information.
The most important thing was to complete his mission.
Although war was not a good thing, it was related to his military achievements and … wealth.
Over the course of this one month.
The supply ships that came and went had almost no chance of escaping once they entered the sight of the seabirds. Even the civilian merchant ships that Shilius had conscripted had not been able to escape Elvin's' demonic clutches'.
Sometimes, when they weren't paying attention, a bottle of enhanced "Sleeping Potion" could knock them all out.
When they woke up, not only were the various goods carried on the ship gone, sometimes even the entire ship had been towed away, leaving a group of crew members lying on the lifeboats and resigned to their fate.
If it was the Shilius soldiers on the supply ships, they would be even more unlucky. They might never wake up again after falling asleep.
Even if there was a battle, it would not be too intense. Occasionally, there would be some pirates who were not their match at all. After being defeated, they would be directly sunk into the sea.
Gradually.
The legend of the "Ghost of the Sea" in the white fog began to spread among the survivors. They could not see who the enemy was, where they came from, or how they attacked …
It could be said that after such a long time of accumulation, Elvin's strength was too much for ordinary people and even low-level Transcendents.
The interception of the supply line was very effective. The pressure on the two countries at the front line was reduced slightly, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief for the first time since the start of the war.
However.
As time went by, this kind of work became more and more difficult for Elvin and the others to do.
Because no matter how slow Shilius' side was, they found that something was wrong.
The number of supplies that could successfully reach the frontline was far less than expected. The other supply ships either silently disappeared into the sea or abandoned all of their supplies. Even the sailboats were the only ones left.
So after this setback, they gathered a group of supply ships and had a fleet escort them. Even if it meant delaying the advance of the war, they had to ensure that the supply line was smooth.
Otherwise, there was no need to fight the front line, they would all become captives of Sark and Atlan once the supplies were cut off.
When facing Shilius' main force, Elvin's group was in a difficult situation. There were several dozen large fleets that included warships, not mentioning if they could beat them, even if they could, they couldn't guarantee that they could wipe them all out.
If the kingdom was exposed to Shilius, it would go against their original strategy of "taking and establishing".
"Is there only one ship today?"
After leaving the buffer zone between the Tulip Alliance and the Sack Empire, two battleships and a merchant ship slowly stopped at the edge of a small island that belonged to the Tulip Alliance.
"Be satisfied! Just the harvest of a single month is equal to the harvest of a pirate in two or three years. Moreover, the value of the goods is even higher. Medicine, ship materials, military supplies, ammunition, wine ….. Most of them are of high quality. "
"That's right! Now, there aren't many opportunists who still dare to be stubborn and not act with the main force and want to luckily obtain a high profit. "
The officers on the ship were chatting in twos and threes. Although there were people complaining, they were all in good moods.
It was a convention that this was a wartime situation on the open seas.
As the captain, Elvin could take a quarter of the spoils, the officers and technical staff would share a quarter, a quarter would go to the navy, and the normal crew would share the remaining quarter.
Especially after receiving a promise from Lieutenant General Gustav that the spoils of war would all go to the soldiers who participated in the war, which meant that everyone would get an extra share.
After a month of frequent looting, even if it was divided into everyone's hands, it would still be a large amount.
Even the old officers of the sixth grade ship, the "Roaring Conch", were a bit conflicted in their hearts.
If they took this money and retired, it would be enough for them to be a wealthy man. Was there still a need to continue to go through the wind and rain?
After all, they were not young anymore and could not keep up with the progress of this warship.
Especially after Major Boris boarded the ship, they had deeply realized how big the gap between them and an excellent naval officer was.
If it were not for their seniority, how could there be a place for them on this promising warship?
At this time.
The sudden flashing signal light reminded them that there was still business to be done.
"They're here!"
Taking advantage of the low visibility at night, two merchant ships sailed over from afar.
After communicating with each other.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
Bang-
The merchant ship that was much smaller than the battleship gently leaned next to the "Storm Horn".
They had done this many times in the past month, and the crew, who were already familiar with it, swarmed forward and loaded the supplies with nimble hands and feet.
Among them were the spoils of war transferred from the "Storm Horn", as well as various supplies transported by the merchant ship to the "Storm Horn".
Although they were guarding a supply line, it did not mean that the two battleships were completely self-sufficient.
For example, shells suitable for the artillery of the fourth grade ship, various experimental materials of a certain wizard …
According to the normal process.
Elvin, who did not need to appear, was in his captain's room studying the witchcraft of the official wizard stage.
After all, the source of the wizard's power was all kinds of knowledge. After completing the transformation of an official wizard and having the necessary foundation, Elvin quickly absorbed the mysterious knowledge that he needed to master at this stage like a sponge.
His strength ushered in a period of rapid growth. It could be said that he was stronger than himself yesterday every day!
Although he was still far from fully mastering all the abilities that an "Activation School" wizard needed to master at this stage, there was still a long way to go.
However, looking for the second volume of the inheritance secret scroll that recorded the "Flesh Puppet" had also been put on his agenda.
Although even without the knowledge of this branch, Elvin could still advance to an upper wizard by studying the other two branches. The "Snake Man" Heber Crete was like this.
However, if he wanted to advance to the third grade in the strongest state, the second volume of the "Flesh Sacrifice" was indispensable.
Also, after losing part of the foundation and important knowledge, the "Tree of Life" or the "Miracle Crown", which was already difficult to materialize in the first place, would truly become a mirage, a castle in the air.
Even if he had just advanced to an official wizard, the "Truth Realization" that only the Crown Wizard was qualified to pursue seemed to be out of reach. However, people always had to have some pursuit, right?
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Elvin, who was concentrating on studying the new witchcraft, did not expect that in addition to the normal spoils of war today, he would also welcome an unexpected guest.
He didn't need to see anyone to know who it was. Elvin picked up a black iron-colored "oak fruit" that had been prepared on the table and hung it around his neck with a thin string. He then said, "Sir, I'm here.
He said, "Please come in."
"Sir Captain, good evening!"
A slightly round colonial official in formal clothes walked in and took off his hat to salute Elvin.
"Good evening, Director Nekado! Why did you come in person today? Please have a seat!
Don't tell me you can't wait after hearing that we got something good this time? Hahaha … "
It was not that Elvin was boasting. Although they had only seized a merchant ship after a few days, the goods on the ship were very valuable. It was a batch of high-quality teak ship materials. No matter where it was placed, it was a first-rate precious resource.
All the old sailors knew that teak was actually the best material for shipbuilding. However, considering the cost and scarcity, even Shilius, who had many gold and silver mines, did not dare to use teak to build an entire ship.
Or rather, even if they wanted to, they did not have that much teak to use.
At most, they only used a part of teak as auxiliary material on the main warships.
This merchant ship was also lucky. They thought that they were a small target and would not be easily discovered. After sending the goods to the front line, they could make a few more trips and make a lot of money. They did not expect that in the end, they still gave Elvin a windfall.
Under the coordination of Dearborn Castle.
Recently, the company that helped the two battleships transport goods was the official Donglun Company, and the person in charge was no doubt Elvin's old friend, the Director of Trade, Nekado.
"Hahaha, Sir Captain, you have a great harvest, and we also benefited from it. We seized Shilius' loot and sold it to Sark and Atlan, who are in dire straits at the front line.
After this battle, although we haven't seen any silver mines. But we have already made a lot of money! "
However, it was clear that Nekado's purpose for coming here today was not just for this batch of exceptionally valuable goods.
After a brief reminiscence.
He carefully took out a small crystal bottle from his underwear and solemnly placed it on the table in front of Elvin.
"Huh, Evil Spirit Dust?!"
Even Evan couldn't help but be startled when he saw that item.
He looked up at Nekado and bowed with difficulty.
"Sir Captain, in fact, I'm here today to ask for help. Do you remember the Yucatan tribe we visited together? "
