After accepting Gör's arrangement, Elvin began to think about his future development path.
The merit of 'annihilating' the Shark Tooth Pirates, coupled with his double identity as an 'official Knight' and a 'sniper', should be enough for him to be promoted to a field officer and meet the minimum requirements to be a captain.
At the same time, apart from military strength, his warship commanding ability also needed to be strengthened. Otherwise, no matter how strong he was, he would not be qualified to be a captain.
After being reborn, Elvin also had his own ambitions. He did not plan to stay by Gör's side for the rest of his life and be a grass under a big tree forever. Sooner or later, he wanted to be independent and make his own way.
Now that he had the opportunity to practice in advance, and with Uncle Gör by his side, he did not have to worry about any major problems. Why not?
"It's good to have a backer!" Elvin did not know how many times he had said this. If the captain was not his uncle, how could he have the opportunity to independently command a pirate ship that was equivalent to a level 5 ship fall into his hands?
After arranging the following tasks, the two of them split up. Elvin brought Gary and some old sailors who had a good relationship with the 'Silver Wing' to the 'Shark Tooth' to familiarize themselves with the ship. Gör went to deal with the aftermath of the battle.
As for Elvin's communication through the seagulls, this was obviously a witchcraft method that had been exposed. Gör did not ask any more questions, and Elvin also heaved a sigh of relief.
It was because of this miraculous method that Elvin was able to confirm the pirate ship's position before the battle and avoid being directly surrounded. He also interfered with the two pirate officers and became the key to breaking the stalemate. In the end, he also cooperated beautifully with Gör to finally kill Skook.
All of this was due to the contribution of the seagulls. However, Elvin was not sure about Gör's attitude towards wizards. Would he blame him for not discussing with Gör in advance before becoming a wizard?
In fact, Gör had also hesitated a few times in his heart. In his life, he had seen too many examples of people going out of control after recklessly coming into contact with secrets. Among them, wizards were the most common. He was also slightly worried about Elvin.
But at the same time, he had long regarded Elvin as a man who could take care of himself. He cared about him and respected Elvin's secret. Moreover, he believed that under his watch, as long as he didn't overly pursue secrets and explore the unknown, his safety would be guaranteed.
Later that day.
"Fire! Salute! "
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! "Bang!"
Twelve salutes were fired, and all the surviving crew and officers mourned for the dead sailors and the two captains.
Watching the waves gradually swallow their bodies, Elvin finally realized that, although the chaotic battle on the starship did not last long, almost a third of the crew on Silver Wing had been lost. There were even more wounded.
Once again, he personally experienced the cruelty of this world. If he wanted to live longer and better, he definitely could not stop here and live a peaceful life under the protection of Uncle Gör!
"This will definitely not be my future!"
After that, after the surviving crew members began their work, Gör found Lieutenant General Snyder alone and gave him the confession obtained by Elvin.
"This is?"
The Lieutenant General opened Trou's information, and his face instantly turned green and white. It was as if he had a wonderful change of expression. At first, he was in disbelief, then anger and hatred!
From the time the Blackwing Cult proposed the exchange conditions to Skook, other than the detailed action plan, it even listed the identity of the information trafficker and the other potential targets clearly. Lieutenant General Snyder had no choice but to believe it.
In the end, his face regained its calmness, but his hands were still trembling as he held the information. He had secretly made up his mind to make the fish that had escaped the net pay a heavy price!
"Damned rats, just you wait!"
In the vicinity of Gabred, and even more than half of the kingdom, no one dared to underestimate the capabilities of the Third Fleet's logistics chief.
At the same time, after learning the truth about the attack on him, the Lieutenant General did not forget to have Gör convey his commendation order to the crew.
In addition to the highest standard of official compensation, Lieutenant General Snyder, in his own name, gave an additional ten gold lions to the families of every fallen soldier, and an additional five gold lions to each surviving sailor, as a reward for their bravery.
The busy sailors on and off the Silver Wing instantly cheered, praising His Excellency the Lieutenant General's benevolence.
.....
Eight days later.
Three days later than the estimated time, the three ships finally returned to Gabred.
Although Elvin's command was still somewhat inexperienced, he had been practicing on the Silver Wing for a long time, so there were no mistakes along the way. However, due to the severe shortage of manpower after the war, they had to take a few more breaks in between, which delayed their return.
"But it's all worth it."
In the eight days of the voyage, Elvin participated in every aspect of the ship's operation.
From the most familiar sail rope operation to the rudder control, from the shipboard artillery maintenance to the crew management, this experience as the acting captain allowed him to integrate everything he had learned in the past into a complete warship management system.
No matter how much he saw, it was not as good as personally experiencing it. In a short eight days, his command ability had been reborn, laying a solid foundation for him to become a qualified captain in the future.
The three warships docked.
The combination of one warship and two pirate ships instantly caused a sensation in the entire Gabred military port, and the legendary experience of the Silver Wing spread like wildfire. Of course, the necessary artistic embellishments were also indispensable.
The course of the incident became that the navy accidentally encountered the powerful Shark Tooth Pirates, and the soldiers of the Silver Wing were united. Under the great leadership of Lieutenant General Snyder and Captain Colonel Gör, they wiped out the invading pirates, completely erasing the infamous Shark Tooth Pirates from the sea.
In this battle, not only did they kill the great pirate "White Shark" Skook, who had committed countless crimes, as well as his three Knight level pirate officers, they also captured two pirate ships of the same level as the Silver Wing, creating a glorious victory.
This battle had greatly increased their fame!
The ordinary residents were happy to see His Excellency the General show his invincible might and wipe out the pirates, giving face to Lieutenant General Snyder.
The military and those who knew the business could also see who was the greatest contributor, and the benefits were substantial. The Lieutenant General and the soldiers of the Silver Wing were all happy.
Elvin's identity as a sniper was not revealed at all. To the current him, being too high-profile was not beneficial at all. Even a big shot like Lieutenant General Snyder had the guts to stroke the tiger's whiskers like a madman like Skook, let alone a puny person like him.
"Men are afraid of fame just as pigs are of fattening." This was exactly the time.
The greatest benefit of this trip had already been taken by him, so it was better to make a fortune in silence.
