Whoosh!
A fourth-class battleship flying the blue flag of Faletis sailed out of Treasure-Tree Bay alone, riding on the Benguela cold current in the Black Sea and headed north.
Its target was Luanda Headland, about 1,600 kilometers north of Treasure-Tree Bay, which was also Shilius's base in the Southern Continent. The total journey would take about five days.
However, the entire Western Coast of the Southern Continent was not peaceful now, and it had become a battlefield between Shilius and the Tulip Alliance. It was normal to encounter any accidents along the way.
Without needing to be told, the crew was already on high alert.
And the only good news for the Tulip Alliance after the war started.
Perhaps the original 50% share of Treasure-Tree Bay would no longer have to be paid to Shilius, and even Ilya, who dropped the ball at the crucial moment, had been completely ostracized by Faletis and Tello.
He had been leaving the group all this time, and this time, he was kicked out of the group by someone else.
"General, is Captain Gör really alright?"
The battleship had been sailing steadily for a long time, and Chris, who was wearing a blue headscarf, finally had the chance to come to the forecastle. He walked behind Elvin and asked while suppressing the excitement in his heart.
The battleship under their feet was not Storm Horn, but Gör's May Wind.
At this time, Storm Horn was still on its way, but Gör's fourth-class battleship, May Wind, was fine. In addition, although he was rescued, he still needed to rest for a while and could not participate in the war for the time being.
Most of the crew were the original crew of the fifth-class battleship, Silver Wing.
Chief Officer Perry, Navigator Telus, Boatswain Chris, and Sailor Jabu were all trusted subordinates who had worked with Gör's uncle for many years. They were also Elvin's first batch of colleagues after joining the army, and they had taken good care of him.
With Elvin as the temporary captain, there was no hindrance in blending in, and there was no need to break in at all.
Some time ago, when Gör lost control, these subordinates who had worked with Gör for many years naturally felt the same way. They respected and felt sorry for Gör's heroic deeds, but also felt uneasy about their own future.
In a situation where it was almost impossible for Gör to return to the May Wind, they did not know who the military would send to take over the battleship. Of course, they understood the principle of a new emperor bringing in new subordinates.
But they did not expect that the one to take over the May Wind would be Elvin, and they immediately jumped three feet high in joy.
It could be said that they had watched Elvin grow up bit by bit until now. Everyone was a family to begin with, so their anxious hearts immediately calmed down.
When Elvin told them that Garl had recovered and would return soon, everyone on the ship was in an uproar.
However, Chris still found it hard to believe that Evan would be the one to ask this question.
"Don't worry, uncle's loss of control has indeed been reversed. He won't need more than a month to recuperate. When he returns, he might even give you a big surprise. "
After hearing Elvin's promise, Chris was finally relieved. From his understanding of Elvin, he knew that he and Gör were not the kind of people who would make empty promises. Gör had obviously recovered.
During wartime, they could not leave their post without permission. It was only a month, and they could afford to wait.
"Thump, thump, thump." They ran down the ship's forecastle to report to the officers.
During the inquiry that night, Gör naturally would not reject the opportunity to take a detour to the third level.
When his body had completely recovered, Elvin would personally conduct the [Tree of Life Totem Warrior — Modified] promotion ceremony for him.
But before that, he had to present Gör with a gift in advance — the head of the Steel Knight, Kungang Taita.
Previously, they had been guarding the "Mental Network" with Olivia for three days. The Steel Knight, Kungang Taita and his ship, the third-tier Steel Dragon, were like turtles hiding in their shells. They had no intention of going out for a stroll.
Just as they were about to think of another way to lure him out, the two commanding officers of the base brought Elvin a piece of good news.
According to a secret report, the vice-commander had secretly ordered the preparation of three large cargo ships. It was estimated that he would leave in five to seven days.
Although no one knew what he was going to do, it was not important at all. As long as he did not leave with the fleet, it was an opportunity for Elvin!
They were not worried about Elvin's death. He could transform into a blue eagle and cross the Black Sea in a day. Even a fourth-tier titled battle pet warrior might not be able to outrun him.
If they could really kill the vice-commander of the Shilius fleet, the Steel Knight, then they would have made a huge profit!
The first half of the journey was quite lucky. It was a smooth journey.
On the fourth day after they set sail, they were very close to the territorial waters of Shilius.
A sudden sea fog attacked the area, and the Maywind had to slow down.
Sailing in the coastal area, they would be in big trouble if they accidentally hit a reef. Moreover, this was an away battle. They would become a live target for Shilius.
But after half a day, the thick fog did not dissipate. Instead, they heard intense gunfire coming from the depths of the fog.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The familiar orange-red flames could be seen clearly even through the fog.
And at this time and place, there was no need to think too much about who was fighting.
As expected, the warship had just turned around.
Bang!
A bright yellow signal flare shot into the sky from the distant sea. It was a distress signal from the Faletis navy. It came from the alchemy creation "Violet Eyes".
The commotion attracted the attention of Elvin, who was in the captain's room making runes for Gör, and he frowned.
Flap flap …
The seagulls that had temporarily stopped flying due to the thick fog immediately broke through the fog and flew toward the battlefield where the battle cries shook the sky. The distance of a few kilometers was covered in an instant.
When he saw the situation below, Elvin could not help but exclaim in surprise.
"That's Kelson Augustine of the Kingdom's Second Fleet?"
He did not expect to meet an acquaintance. Kelson's classmate in the Naval Academy, the grandson of the vice-commander of the Second Fleet, and also the leader of the Kelson faction.
He did not get along well with the Crail faction of the First Fleet led by his roommate, but there was no irreconcilable conflict.
When he left the Royal Naval Academy in New Haven, Kelson even sent him off.
After being ambushed by two Silius-style warships in the fog and successfully pulled into a boarding battle, the fifth-class Faletis ship was in a critical situation.
"Reinforcements will be here soon. Follow me!"
On "Ivy", the fifth-level cruising starship, Captain Kelson roared to boost the morale of the soldiers after he released the signal. Waving his longsword, he charged at a group of native female warriors who were swarming close by the side of the ship.
[Denier's Swordsmanship — Wild Bear Rising]
Clang!
The superior transcendent longsword clashed with the exquisite golden spear in the opponent's hand, and bright red sparks exploded.
They were evenly matched.
But Kelson's heart sank.
Because he had already recognized the identity of the native female warriors who were piloting the Shilius warship.
She wore a golden fan-shaped helmet and an exquisite red geometric striped battle skirt. Her feet were bare and her feet were black.
They were equipped with poisonous blowdarts, spears, scimitars, and muskets. Beside them was a black cheetah. These characteristics clearly belonged to the native Dahomey Kingdom of Dahomey!
It was said that in the powerful natives who ruled the Slave Coast, every fifteen-year-old female in the country had to be tested by the kingdom.
Those who were sick or ugly would be executed directly. The most beautiful and strong would become the king's concubines and guard the palace for their noble husbands. They were the original Dahomey female warriors.
However, although their skin had a dazzling luster like black pearls, their protruding lips made it impossible to see where their so-called beauty was hidden.
The rest of the people would also be forced to undergo two years of military training to strengthen the kingdom's armed forces. Because the Nimanster's strong demand for slaves was the economic pillar that the Kingdom of Dahomey could not give up.
All the slaves had to be captured by the kingdom's army by conquering other tribes and states.
Also, similar to the primitive totem belief of the Atreans, the Dahomey people also believed that all things had spirit. The voodoo religion, which originated from Benin, was also their national religion and had a unique transcendent class.
It was [Elephant Hunter], which was on par with [Psychic Warrior] in the warrior class.
[Transcendent Class: Elephant Hunter]
"Level 1: Elephant Hunter. Ritual: 1. Hunt an adult crocodile or male elephant alone as a fifteen-year-old mortal … "
"Level 2: Skull Hunter. Ritual: 1. Cut off the heads of a hundred enemies with your own hands and offer them to the Lord … "
“.....”
These female Transcendents were well-trained and were good at using all kinds of weapons, including firearms from the Old Continent. They were even braver and better at fighting than the native men.
The creed of the Dahomey female warriors was:
"Let the men stay at home and plant crops.
We women, let us bring back the enemy's organs.
Wave the scimitar and hoe on the battlefield.
Yesterday we were women, today we are men. "
Apart from their powerful transcendent powers.
The significance of their appearance on the battlefield was even more extraordinary. The Kingdom of Dahomey had been controlled by Shilius and stood on the opposite side of the Alliance!
Obviously, as the party with the largest demand for slaves, Dahomey, who relied heavily on the slave trade, could not refuse the request of Shilius.
Suddenly.
"Ah —!"
A scream made Kelson come back to his senses. He realized that he was not the only Level 2 Dahomey [Skull Hunter] on the ship, but there were a total of four of them.
While one of them was sent to stall him, the other three had already heavily injured the other senior Knight on the ship with their combined strength.
"Dickens!"
Kelson, who was in the middle of the battle, couldn't help but let out a scream because that was a transcendent first mate that his grandfather, who was the deputy commander, made an exception for him. He was his bodyguard and his biggest reliance.
In an instant, the situation of the battle had become extremely dangerous.
