Elvin and the others were still in the rainforest, quietly waiting for the arrival of the treasure trove.
The privateering trend set off by the Anti-Shilius Alliance on the Golden Sea was gradually stirring up waves in the New World.
Especially in spring, when shipping conditions were good, it was the time when ships from both the New World and the Old World frequently came and went.
In this season, the stormy weather on the Black Sea was relatively mild. As long as they were not afraid of encountering pirates, one or two merchant ships dared to cross the Black Sea along the established route.
Even now, on the shortest route back to Shilius, the Eye of the Black Sea had been confirmed to be the holy realm of the Black Sea Goddess. Half of Shilius's naval base had been scrapped, and the risk of a long voyage had greatly increased.
However, the excessive benefits of ocean trade still gave the captains enough courage to spend more time bypassing the sea area that had been called the "eye of the storm" and embark on the road back home.
Some Shilius adventurers had even set off in advance, vowing to explore the best new route to connect the Golden Sea to the mainland!
Such energetic 'fat sheep', coupled with the fact that Shilius's naval forces had been weakened due to the loss of one of his escorts, had left a few more holes in the defense system of the sea route.
All the conditions added together greatly facilitated the 'Operation Blood Loss' of the alliance. Looking at the Shilius merchant ships coming and going was like looking at a bunch of gold mines floating on the surface of the water!
In the Alliance.
Sark, who was carrying out a policy shift to develop the navy, was the most active. This was because the piracy industry was now a legitimate business in Sark.
Apart from the powerful nobles, ordinary manor owners, rich gentry, and poor Knight would buy a ship, gather a group of people, and go out to sea to rob.
Now that the Empire had issued a call, before the natives could react, the people in the colonies had already responded enthusiastically.
There were even people who had successfully looted a small settlement in Shilius.
Atlan was located in the northernmost part of the Old World, a true Icelandic country. Their living conditions were very ordinary to begin with. They worshipped the strong and believed in the logic of banditry and the doctrine of looting.
Many years before the start of the Age of Exploration, the income from piracy was the pillar of the country's industry.
Dating back to a thousand years ago, the image of pirates wearing horned helmets and holding sharp axes terrified the coastal countries!
This was a country where the blood of pirates flowed in the blood of its people.
Even many small countries were not to be outdone and eagerly joined in this carnival. In the past, they naturally didn't dare to mess with Shilius for no reason. At most, they would secretly shoot at him, but they didn't need the official permission to plunder.
But now that "the whole world is revolting", of course he had no more scruples!
In less than two months since the establishment of the alliance, they had already made some progress.
For the time being, it couldn't make up for the losses caused by Shilius and the Pirate King.
But compared to the situation at the beginning when they could only swallow their anger, it was no longer the same. In fact, after tasting the benefits, the various countries could no longer stop themselves!
How could his own hard work in planting, gathering, and producing be faster than robbing?
Even without Faletis's comprehensive plan, plundering was only to serve a larger strategic goal. These countries could not stop at all.
An even larger fleet of privateers was quietly being formed.
On the other hand, just as the various countries were rubbing their hands in anticipation …
Due to the Church of the Goddess of Navigation and Royalty's policy of "severely cracking down on all unofficial acts of piracy," the Tulip countries, which were most resistant to private piracy, naturally became the least efficient.
The government's constant attacks made the Tulip Alliance's pirates the most barren land for survival.
Even the Church of the Black Iron Cross of the Goddess of Navigation and Royalty had publicly announced that the Shilius Kingdom's bullying of the various countries had hindered the development of navigation and maritime trade, and was no longer under the protection of the Goddess.
In a way, they had acknowledged the legitimacy of plundering Shilius!
However, the local speculators who weren't of a high level were still somewhat skeptical.
Therefore, the Tulip Alliance still needed the government to set an example and break the inherent understanding of the citizens!
If they didn't take advantage of the fact that the plan had just been launched and Shilius hadn't fully reacted to it and made targeted defenses, they wouldn't have many opportunities like this in the future.
Lieutenant General Gustav, who understood the overall plan, was naturally very concerned about this matter. Seeing that the various countries' actions were already in full swing, he was also slightly anxious.
Due to the uniqueness of the kingdom's policy, the advocates of the "Blood Loss Plan" could only watch as others ate the meat.
"Perhaps we should establish the image of a hero among the privateers among the citizens and reignite the blood in their bones.
Now, how much benefits the kingdom can get depends on you, Brigadier General Elvin! "
.....
The Isthmus of Balvoa, deep in the humid and hot forest.
Because the seagulls were monitoring the entire process, Elvin didn't have the slightest intention of wasting time while waiting.
Currently, the plan to suppress the "adventurer's blood", the first "spiritual world exploration" after becoming an official wizard, and the replacement of the "seabird reconnaissance network" … had all been completed one by one.
Preparing the "Animated Beast Skins" for his subordinates was a slow process. Even if he took time to prepare them, he had only made about a hundred of them so far, and he still needed to slowly accumulate more.
His current research focus was on the four "Totem Warrior Training Methods" in his hands.
They were the "Tiger Warrior Training Method" of the Iroquois, the "Eagle Warrior Training Method" of the Azik Tribe, the "Lynx Warrior Training Method" of a small tribe that had already been annihilated, and the "Brown Bear Warrior Training Method" of the Yucatan tribe.
He had been stuck at the peak of the Knight for a long time. Even if he didn't take the initiative to cultivate his physical liberation, with the improvement of his swordsmanship, his physical liberation was close to 100%.
Under the premise that he didn't intend to make a normal breakthrough and condense his Combat Aura with his will, it was urgent to find a new path to support the advancement of the Knight!
However, after a period of continuous research and comparison, Elvin already had some clues about the path of the "Totem Warrior" that focused on the combination of totem and physical strength.
Although they looked completely different on the surface, other than the natural spirits, the part of the "totem engraving" that Elvin valued the most actually had quite a lot in common.
With this commonality as the premise, different totems had their own emphasis.
At present, Elvin had already extracted the totem engraving system with the help of the "Data Analyzing Vision" that had a high degree of overlap, such as the corresponding main human body parts, functional divisions, meridian system, stress response … and so on.
And the magical fundamental runes that each of the different natural spirits represented (the mutated symbols that were rooted in the world itself, like the programming language of the world's rules):
The balance of the lynx was "libr"; the physique of the brown bear combined with strength "cons" + "impe"; the agility of the eagle and even gliding "mobi" + "mult"; the agility of the tiger combined with strength "mobi" + "impe".
Once this mission was over and he returned to Port Hatrapha, he would look for a few volunteers to conduct further experiments.
Closing his witchcraft notebook and putting it into the "magic pocket," he looked up and saw that the commandos had already tidied up the camp. They had also done their best to remove all traces of life that had been left here during this period of time.
With the recovery ability of the rainforest, it wouldn't take more than half a month for everything to be wiped clean after they left.
After the formation was completed and the headcount was done, the remaining ninety-eight people paid their last respects to their two companions who had already been buried here.
Then, meeting the expectant gazes of the crowd, Elvin waved his hand.
"Let's go!"
.....
As it was the beginning of May, the rainy season in the rainforest had also quietly arrived.
Although it wasn't the peak period of the rain, even if it was just the prelude, the roads in the rainforest had become exceptionally muddy, causing the caravans that didn't travel during this season to suffer greatly.
At this moment, a long troop of mules and horses was meandering along the posthouse road.
The total number of mules and horses was about two hundred and thirty. Because they had to cross the mountains, there were no carriages among them.
The upper limit of the load that the mules and horses could carry for a long journey was about two hundred kilograms. Based on this, the total transport capacity should be about forty-six tons.
Other than the sufficient number of coachmen, there was also an escort team of one hundred and eighty people led by Colonel Hubbard Rudolph of the Shilius Army.
After more than twenty days of trekking in the rainforest, the soldiers were a little dispirited. The colonel with a big brown beard patrolled back and forth as he exhaled and encouraged the soldiers.
"Soldiers! Cheer up! When we reach Port Dios, I'll book the entire 'Pink Lovers Bar' for everyone! "
"Roar! Long live Colonel Rudolph! "
“.....”
There was only a little more than a day's journey before they completely left the rainforest. Soon, the hard times would end and the good times would begin. Coupled with the colonel's promise, the soldiers were reinvigorated as if they were looking at plums to quench their thirst.
The team of one colonel and two majors also breathed a sigh of relief. They were not worried about the possible appearance of foreign enemies. The only thing they were worried about was that the poor condition of the soldiers might delay the sailing of the ship.
After all, this was the heart of the kingdom's colony. One pinnacle, two official Knight, and … that annoying but powerful fellow were more than enough as guards.
There were no priests of the "Eternal Fire" in the team. It was still acceptable to have a group of people serving on the ship. How could they dare to trouble those high-ranking masters with such pure hard work?
"Maintain the formation. Be careful not to fall behind!"
After the reminder, the team continued to move forward.
However, the slightly uplifted spirit of the treasure transporting team did not last long.
When they passed by a mountain pass.
Hubbard Rudolph, who was in the middle of the team, sharply heard a voice in the forest.
"Detonate!"
A strong sense of danger made him stomp on the ground and rush into the rainforest.
The next moment.
A large number of alchemy bombs buried in the ground in advance suddenly exploded like a volcanic eruption.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! …
The team of mules and horses behind him was already in a mess. There were even mules and horses that weighed a few hundred pounds that were blown more than ten meters into the air.
Before the smoke dispersed, amidst the chaos, gunshots rang out again.
Bang! Bang! Bang! …
The bearded colonel, who had temporarily escaped the disaster, raised his head and shouted.
"Who dares to attack the Shilius Kingdom's army?"
A young voice rang out in the rainforest.
"Pirate … White Knight!"
