Chapter 69 Angel of Vengeance
The sun is westward and the southeasterly wind is gradually weakening.

As the bells chimed, the Glory turned, tucked her anchor against the wind, and the other warships, who had reached anchorage early, waited for those who fell behind.

Although until now Vineta's army and naval officers can't see each other, but after two days in the boat, even the most prejudiced army officer has to admit: the management of the fleet is absolutely A technical work.

If you want to command fifty soldiers, you only need to be loud enough, but if you want to lead fifty Hundred Men Squad to fight, you must have an effective command system.

The third "Great Veneta" Legion has a total of fifty-nine Hundred Men Squads, with a total of more than 5,000 people, dwarfed by the 100,000-scale battles of the ancient empires in the historical stories.

(54 Hundred Men Squads and 5 Chief Hundred Men Squads, please refer to the previous chapter for Legion's compilation)
But just in order to knead these 5,000 people into an army, it takes seven Sixteen officers, one hundred and eighteen gendarmes, sixty-two flag-bearers, forty drummers, thirteen barbers and physicians, and three accompanying priests together.

Thank goodness the soldiers cook their own food, otherwise dozens of cooks would have to be added to this list.

But the difficulty of managing a fleet is a step higher than that of managing a Legion.

The Vengeance Fleet that Winters is in includes the galleons and galleys of the Outer Sea Fleet, the merchant ships for requisitions, and some supply ships for the transport of supplies.

These boats vary in size, age, draft and seaworthiness. The warships built by the navy can chop waves at a speed of more than ten knots. Flat-bottomed galleys cannot withstand strong winds and waves, and deep-drafted merchant ships and warships cannot go to shallow waters.

This myriad ship can't be sailing in a column one after another for a long time, the ships will naturally widen the distance, and the ships with poor seaworthiness will fall on later.

So Winters couldn't see where the other boats were when they were breathing on the deck during the two days. The sea is so vast that only the shadows of sails on the sea level can be seen occasionally.

So the Admiralty planned the route and anchorage in advance for the Vengeance Fleet. Starting from Haidong Port, the fleet will regroup at the anchorage every sixty or seventy nautical miles before proceeding to the next anchorage.

Lieutenant Colonel Contaire said to Winters: "There is not a single ship left behind for two days and nights. It seems that the people in the Navy are really ruthless."

To get Contaire, who says "the Navy has only sailors and captains, no officers," say such a thing, Winters felt that the officers of the Navy should take this as the highest compliment.

At this moment, Winters was half lying on a bed in a cabin aft of the Glory, with concentrated attention completely staring at the hatch.

This "bed" is more like a wooden box than a bed. There were two-foot-high baffles on the four sides of the bed, and lying in it was like lying in a coffin. The reason for this design is that the sea is turbulent, preventing the sleeping person from being thrown out of bed.

Not far above his head, like below him, was the board of the boat.

To save space, the beds are bunks. This small cabin has four beds crammed into it, leaving only an arm-wide aisle in the middle, which looks very crowded.

The accommodation is a bit shabby, but this is actually an exceptional privilege for the Navy. The living conditions at sea were very difficult, and the sailors of the navy could only sleep curled up in hammocks and woke up with aches and pains.

But even that was better than many merchant ship sailors, who simply slept on deck, not only getting skin problems from severe moisture, but also restless sleep. When the waves are high, people will roll on the deck following the rhythm of the waves.

The Veneta Navy has shown the greatest sincerity. They have reduced the crew of the Glory, even the gunners are not needed, and only the sailors who can maintain the operation of the warship are retained. All the spaces were also temporarily converted into cabins—in fact, the flagship of the Offshore Fleet was used as headquarters and quarters for Army officers.

In order to ensure smooth communication, the Navy even arranged the cabin of the 3rd Legion Corps Head next to the Commander of the Offshore Fleet. As Lieutenant Colonel Contel said, they really wanted to fiercely beat the Tanirians, and even started to please their old rivals for it.

Because it was anchored against the wind, the Glory's hull was stable, only slightly undulating with the waves.

Andre was apparently asleep, because of the snoring from the bunk above Winters.

Bud is on the top bunk across from him, reading his old, tattered book again.

Winters felt the movement of the hull, seized a moment when the hull floated to the highest point and stopped, and used the flying arrow technique.

A steel cone flew out of his hand and nailed it to the cabin door.

Winters exhaled in satisfaction and pulled out another steel cone.

A small circle carved with a knife in the middle of the door panel now has more than a dozen steel cones inserted, and there is not a single steel cone outside the small circle, only the holes left in the previous practice.

Whether it's a sorcerer's spell explosiveness or spell skills, it can only be improved by consistent practice. Practice if you have the conditions, and practice if you don't have the conditions.

It is about two and a half steps from his hand to the hatch. Winters has already started to practice the six-step target in the basement of his home. He can already hit a hundred shots in such a short distance. In fact, the practice is not meaningful. big.

However, the space on board is limited and there is no suitable practice area. And a lot of high level officers, Winters dare not impudent. Had to play casually in the cabin, the game of power.

"Remember to remind me not to play darts with you in the future." Bud stuck his head out of the bunk, looked at the steel cone inserted in the door, and said with a smile.

"No problem." Winters also became playful, changed to throwing darts, took two glances, and threw the steel cone moved towards the hatch.

But just as the steel cone was released, someone opened the door from outside.

——Cut——

While the three warrant officers were bored to pass the time in the cabin of the Glory, a light sailboat docked at the pier of Sea Blue Harbor.

The sailors on the ship were all haggard and tired. They worked in two shifts, manoeuvring the light sailboat day and night to the sea blue port. There were also headwinds and torrential rains along the way, but none of them could defeat the steadfast sailors.

The sailors don't know yet, but this time they broke the record for the shortest time from Golden Port to Ocean Blue Port, and opened a very large gap with the second place. Although this episode is unknown, the sea remembers eternity.

Their record will be held for hundreds of years until it is broken by the clipper ship across the ages.

However they are late, the Veneta Republic has sent their angels of vengeance.

Upon learning of the news, Captain Kenway, Captain Taniria and one of the leaders of the Planters' Federation, made no further attempts to meet with Archon Debella, but went straight back. on his own boat.

The war has come, and it will not end until one side surrenders.

Kenway tried to prevent this from happening, but his efforts proved to be in vain.

Now, he needs to inform the other captains as soon as possible that Veneta's third Legion has departed.

Today, Karwen has only written 2,000 words as of 23:53. I always write until one or two o'clock lately. Fear of sudden death. So instead of pursuing 4,000 words a day, I still want to go to bed before twelve o'clock every day. Edward Kenway + Francis Drake, it's simply a dream men's doubles 233333
