Transcendent Journey

Most of the region is located in the Eritrean Sea with a tropical maritime climate. It is the second sea in the known world as the second only to the Black Sea. It is also an important transportation hub for civilizations to communicate with the Peacock Islands through the Treasure Sea. .

Because of the climate, the seaworthiness season on this sea area is extremely long. Except for the summer with frequent dangerous wind and rain, a large number of merchant ships travel between the east and the west of the continent in other seasons.

Among them, the Sirius who actually occupied the Peacock Islands and monopolized the local trade are the most.

Huh——!

in the sky ten thousand li There is no cloud, and there is a huge fleet on the blue sea. In the formation of escorting the battleship outside and the large merchant ships, it is lined up in three columns.

The total number has reached an astonishing 31 ships, which is no less than the previous treasure fleet.

Most of these ocean-going ships are flying the flame flag of the Sirius Empire, and you can still see the strong shadow of the current first sea power country that is sick and not falling.

However, in addition to Sirius, there are many dark-skinned, short stature, and most of the native species with dark brown curly hair.

That is the Negrito, an indigenous people from the Peacock Islands.

The Peacock Islands seem to be a whole on the surface, but it is only the collective name of a series of Tubangs on the Peacock Islands. The only difference is not much between the human species.

Most of them are employees of Sirius Santa Barbia, which now manages the Peacock Islands. Of course, they are just the kind of handymen who are not much better than slaves. Even if they die accidentally, they don’t have to lose money. .

pa! pa! pa! …

The whip flowers rang above the head one after another.

“Quickly, taking advantage of the good weather now, move all the spices to the deck to dry! If I notice a bit of musty, I will peel off your skins.”

Faced with the tall and strong Sirius merchant ship owner, these dark-skinned Negritos had no dissatisfaction on their faces. They seemed to have carved their obedience into the depths of the bloodline.

The truth is actually the same.

Because the Peacock Islands have experienced at least nine invasions from the West since three thousand years ago recorded in historical data, and they have also changed nine waves of owners, indirectly resulting in a comprehensive blend of blood, culture, and beliefs.

Because of the unique geographical environment, a relatively closed cultural environment has been created, maintaining a certain degree of independence.

It can be said that this is a nation that has maintained its own culture, but has become accustomed to being ruled.

In the Peacock Islands, which is very mysterious for most, the indigenous people mainly believe in a series of gods based on “the lord of war elephants” and “the king of ivory throne” Lan Tigos.

Varna is also built by the god of wind, Vayu, the god of rain, Paseniye, the god of water, Apas, the god of fire, Ajiny, Sun God, Suriya… and so on. The Order, ruling the spiritual world of the Negritos.

But.

These primordial gods on the surface did not monopolize the belief of the Peacock Islands. They are in the origin continent, and have been infiltrated by the Seven Gods and various Demi-Gods for a long time like a sieve. .

Even the [names of gods] mentioned above are not necessarily the vests of any great god.

There is another saying that the “Peacock Islands” is the “Museum of Race and Faith” for the entire human world, but the current secular ruler is undoubtedly shared by Philip II and the 19th Gentlemen The holding company of Santa Barbia.

They grab a large sum of profits from here every year and send them to Sirius’s native land, which is one of the important roots supporting this huge Great Empire. Of course, it has almost become the only root now, and the degree of importance is self-evident.

However, although these Negritos were submissive, they actually made significant contributions to the scientific and technological enlightenment of the entire old continent since modern times.

The source of their technology has a very mysterious legend.

It is said that during the period of the first unified dynasty “Peacock King” on this island.

One day when King Chandala Gupta prayed for blessings by the sea, suddenly a golden-bright and dazzling box floated out of the more eastern “storm belt” and was picked up by the servants of the kingdom Dedicated to the king.

Following the guidance of a wise man, King Chandala Gupta fasted and bathed 1 month later, and finally successfully opened the treasure box called “Purple Lacquer Intarsia Fish Algae Pattern Gold Box”.

Including modern ceramics, silk, tea, paper, gunpowder, Compass, etc. Primordial technology comes from that treasure box, and has profoundly influenced the civilization of the world in this era. Style.

But the Peacock Islands have never been completely unified since then. After thousands of years of wind and rain wars, the [Purple Lacquer Intarsia Fish Algae Gold Box Treasure Box] has long been gone. where.

Even the Baogui that came out of the “Storm Belt” really existed, only the Demi-God aboriginals with endless lifespan knows.

Suddenly.

Om…

All the busy people in the fleet didn’t notice at all. At an altitude of 30,000 meters, the pupils of a large, shapeless creature shrank slightly, turning A terrible signal was quietly passed out.

In the perspective of this “Seagull Elf”.

Soon there will be another naval fleet composed of fast warships, which suddenly sprang out of the sea, slanted into the queue of this fleet at lightning speed, and launched outrageously. Assault.

“Fire!”

On the gun positions on the upper and lower double artillery decks, the movements of each gun group are neat and uniform.

bang! bang! bang! bang! …

The orange-red cannon flames reflected the sea and the eyes of every Sirius.

During this period, these “Garrett-type heavy cruisers”, all equipped with 24-pound or 32-pound guns, were like wolves waiting for opportunities to ambush the main routes in the Eritrean Sea.

If you catch the opportunity, they will fiercely tear off a piece of meat from Sirius’s merchant ship. The larger the fleet, the more they like it.

The ones who can beat them can’t run them, the ones who can run can’t beat them, and of course, more can’t run and beat them.

At least two positions ahead of the design concept of sailing boats, let this broken fleet occupy a huge advantage.

“It’s the fleet that appears and disappear unpredictably. Damn Tulips, fight back!”

On the forefront of the fleet, a major general commanded The officer roared angrily.

A naval battle began.

However, when the Sirius people fought back bravely, the Negritos on the ship had no sense of resistance at all, and had already rushed to the lower cabin.

Those Sirius did not expect them to help, or that they did not want the Negritos to intervene in the fight.

After all, they used to be lazy on the ship to go to the toilet, and finally the battleship was blown up by dung. Can you believe this? !

Sirius’ flagship “Flying” has ushered in its opponent, the commander’s eyes are red, and the sound is like thunder:

“Damn the Tulips, you are not in a wartime state. Dare to blatantly attack the official fleet of the empire. You can’t bear the anger of the Emperor Your Majesty!”

A young major officer wearing a close-fitting “Venom Battle Armor” holding a blood-colored long sword disdainful smile:

“The emperor? As early as a year ago, the Sirius people were no longer qualified to speak to us in a condescending manner! Take the ship, seize the ship, and kill with me!”

They were just taking advantage of Sirius. It takes no time to directly intervene in the war, and completely cut off the last root that supports this great Great Empire, no matter what your emperor thinks.

Boom! boom! boom! boom! …

The killing sound shook the sky, and the gunpowder was filled with smoke.

After two hours of fierce battle, except for those scattered and fleeing, about half of Sirius merchant ships were left here.

When the soldiers cleaned the battlefield.

As the leader of the sailor, Elantra was relieved of his self-cleaning function and was spotlessly [Venom Battle Armor], sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

After taking a break, he pulled out a brass body protection symbol with a gear and clockwork structure from his neck, and a happy smile spread across his face.

Apparently this is a parting gift from the little wizard Irina of the “Alchemy School”.

“Hey, Elantra, go on.”

He reached out to catch a bottle of rum thrown by his captain, first put the body protection symbol away like a baby, and then pulled it out The cork gurgled a big mouthful, spitting out a long breath of alcohol.

“It’s a good harvest today. It won’t take a few battles for your rank to be equal to my colonel.”

Elantra laughed and touched him with a wine bottle:

“Captain, you are polite. It doesn’t matter whether you have a military rank or anything. I just want to find a chance to temper myself.”

The old captain couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

‘First give me the [transcendent Battle Armor], [Blood Lake Light] and the amulet all over my body, before I say this. ‘

Too lazy to discuss this kind of uneasy topic with this guy with a deep background and similar treatment to Prince.

I just looked at the several supply ships that belonged to my own family that were fast approaching in the distance, and couldn’t help but feel again:

“If all these flying shear ships are running on the sea in the future, Even our heavy cruiser may be able to retire. It is indeed the Lord Saint Ivan beloved by Goddess.”

xiu! xiu! xiu!

Coming in the distance These are three large sea ships with hollow bows, aspect ratios greater than 6:1, and sails as wide as large sea ships flying close to the water. It is the “flying shears” that Ivan has not brought to reality after Ivan completed the design. .

Currently, no pirate ship in this World can catch up to its heels.

The large “flying shears” that can run 12-14 knots even with full load can be called the king of speed in the sailing age!

Take the example of traveling through the Black Sea. It takes two months for others to use ocean currents at the earliest, but it takes less than a month. The prosperity of sea trade is destined to greatly help the rise of the new continent and Garrett duchy.

Currently, it is only for military use, and the number of launches is not large.

But when they are truly popular, they will be enough for pirate ships to eat ashes directly behind, and indirectly sound the death knell for the existence of pirates.

In the future, when the steam armored ship is launched, the profession of pirates will have a swan song.

Ivan: Sa, since labor and capital have already washed their feet and landed ashore, who cares?

The God of Black Wings:…
