As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 763 Departure
"Pack more water and food. We don't know how long it will take to come back this time." Chen Guangyu stood on the deck of the huge ship Henghai, commanding the soldiers in black armor.

I still remember the last time I went out to sea with the prince, they were trapped in the Xiangling Secret Realm, and it took a full month or two to return to the shore. They were always in panic due to lack of water. Having learned from the last lesson, Chen Guangyu prepared hundreds of barrels of drinking water this time. He also brought fruits, vegetables, dry food and other food.

"Hurry up, hurry up, we have to get everything ready by tomorrow morning."

The soldiers immediately started running on the deck carrying all kinds of things.

"Bang!" A new soldier ran too fast and fell, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground.

"New recruit, why are you so nervous? Going out to sea with Lord Prince is a great opportunity to gain experience. Forget about today. Tomorrow His Royal Highness will be on board. Don't make a fool of yourself under His Royal Highness's nose."

"Yes!" The recruit's face turned red and he quickly picked up the spear.

Chen Guangyu shook his head, thinking that not all young people could be as steady as Hu Lian.

Thinking of Hu Lian, Chen Guangyu looked up at the observation deck. A monkey the size of a palm was hanging upside down on the fence, swaying. From a distance, it looked like a bouncing comma.

There was a thin figure sitting in the observation tower.

It was Hu Lian.

As early as a few years ago, Hu Lian, who was only twelve years old, began to go out to sea with them. At that time, he was still a small fisherman, but very steady. He could always predict the wind and rain at sea in time. Relying on his ability, he led the ship to overcome many dangers. Also relying on his predictive ability, he made the fleet reaping a lot of rewards many times.

Gradually, the seat on the lookout tower became his exclusive one.

The boy is usually gentle and taciturn, but when talking about joining the Xuanjia Navy, he becomes a little more talkative. This year he finally got his wish.

"Sixteen years old and already in the Spirit Refining Realm..." Chen Guangyu was a little envious, but not jealous of Hu Lian. Perhaps it was because the overall style of the Dasu was clear and bright, and with You Tian setting an example of abdicating and letting others take over, Chen Guangyu recognized his limited abilities and felt that it was time for him to step down.

"Humph, but this year, the new recruits should just listen to my orders."

……

At dawn, the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist, and the golden light sprinkled on the sea, and the waves were like golden fragments, connected into one.

The Henghai No. 2 was huge in size, with the flag on the top of the ship fluttering and the sails blown by the wind. From a distance, it looked like a deep-sea monster.

It easily cut through the sea surface, and huge waves were surging at the stern of the ship. Everyone's mood couldn't help but become excited along with the white waves.

Some recruits had actually been on the county's big ships before, but the first time they stood on the deck of the Henghai II, the scenery at that perfect height, the unique experience, still made them feel shocked. "This is amazing, such a fast speed, it's not much slower than the Fengling ship." "Look, those sea monsters are hiding from us!"

When everyone looked over, they saw the fish and beasts swimming fast and hastily, as if they had seen their natural enemy, and were afraid that this "giant whale" would open its mouth and swallow them in one gulp.

In addition to the soldiers of the Black Armor Navy, Bai Lifei, the equipment refiner who built the Henghai No. 2, also boarded the ship for this voyage. He attached great importance to this route and wanted to know where the shortcomings of the Henghai were. He also took the boatmen to check the various equipment on the hull.

Jiang Ran held a copy of the Map of Despair and the most advanced compass in his hand and looked at the scene in the distance. The direction of travel this time was due east. The unnamed island was very close to Dasu. According to the current speed of the Henghai, if they drove straight ahead, they would arrive in about half a day.

If there really is an unnamed island, then continue heading east and find that void island.

Fortunately, the weather was clear today, with a steady westerly wind blowing on the sea. With the wind and the current going smoothly, the Henghai No. 2 did not even need to turn on the rudder, and the ship was moving forward steadily and quickly.

There was no need to fish or salvage anything. Except for the lookout sentinels and the cook who was responsible for preparing lunch for the more than one hundred people on board, the black armor soldiers were actually a little idle. Chen Guangyu had just dismissed them, and the soldiers simply sat cross-legged on the deck to rest and recharge their batteries.

"We are sailing east this time. Previously, we went to the southern waters to fish and transport supplies to the island guards."

The sea area in the south has been cleared, and generally there will be no ferocious sea monsters. Some capable and powerful fishermen will also drive their own fishing boats and follow the ships of the Xuanjia Navy to fish.

Nanzhu Shipyard naturally built more than just the Henghai No. 2 ship. It also had a smaller ship called Pofeng, which was about the same size as the Henghai that sank previously.

"Our army's most elite sailors are all here, so those guys should be fine."

"Deputy Commander Snake Yam is here, there's nothing to worry about." The person who answered was a female soldier who was probably in her thirties. She admired Snake Yam for being able to breathe freely in the water and thought her long snake tail was very unique.

"Hey, who's worried about them? I'm worried that they're clumsy and can't deliver daily necessities to the island guards in time!"

"Speaking of the island guards, it's really not easy for them. The city is noisy, but there are only two people on the entire island. Just imagine, there is no one to talk to, and the loneliness is unbearable for ordinary people. Tian Antao, the island guard of Shuiyuan Island, is my friend. I remember that she was a fair-skinned and beautiful girl. Now her face is chapped by the sea breeze, and her palm was injured by Shuiyuangui. There is a hole in the palm of her hand."

"It was indeed hard, but the people guarding the island were all great. I remember that they built all the wooden houses on the island themselves!"

"But the treatment of the island guards is quite good. It is especially suitable for cultivators who want to practice in seclusion. They are isolated from the world and have no troubles. Moreover, the county now provides them with a lot of cultivation materials." A soldier who knew some of the details said, "One of the island guards whose cultivation had stagnated for a long time used two years to cultivate from the seventh level of the Gathering Spirit Realm to the second level of the Refining Spirit Realm. Just for this, one cannot help but envy him."

My goodness! The soldiers who had sympathized with the island defenders just now instantly withdrew their sympathy.

That’s the realm of spiritual refining!
How many people are stuck in the Spirit Gathering Realm!
"But judging from the current situation in our abode, there will be more and more cultivators in the Gathering Spirit Realm, and sooner or later they will be everywhere. There will probably be no shortage of cultivators in the Refining Spirit Realm. Look at the one in the observation tower, our Xiao Hu, he is only sixteen, but he has already reached the Refining Spirit Realm. If we don't work hard, I'm afraid we will be lost in the crowd!"

Everyone felt the pressure coming up instantly!
To be able to join the Xuanjia Navy, they are already heroes and geniuses from all over Dasu. If they were placed in the village, which one would not be praised? Wouldn't they want to make a career and be praised by the villagers?
