Chapter 355 Competition Mission

The Greenland Empire's fleet on this trip has a total of more than 210 ships, and the flagship headed by it is the fourth-order magic ship "Magic Scorpion", which has two main abilities, one is to absorb the magic power of other magic ships, and the other is the stern of the ship. The "Scorpion Tail Magic Needle Cannon". ****Of course, such a powerful being like a fourth-order magic boat often possesses a variety of abilities, which cannot be summed up in a single word.

The Cangyan used various semaphores, shuttled through the fleet, quickly arrived at the side of the Scorpion, and got on the pick-up board.

Tangke, who had changed into a navy uniform, stepped onto the boat. He is now a nobleman, has a formal military rank, and has received the canonization of the Queen. When the sailors on the ship saw him, they had to stand at attention and respect him. He reached the captain's room and shook the letter in his hand, but the guard at the m-n port said that the commander was busy now and asked him to wait before m-n.

It was obviously the other party who asked him to come, but Tang Ke ate a closed m-n soup, which made him a little unhappy, but he couldn't attack.

The first governor, the second emperor, the third hero, the fourth y-n, and the fifth commander, who is now in the room is one of the famous five commanders, George Tina.

It can be seen from the name that Georgina is a woman, she is the only female x-ng among the five commanders. Those who can ascend to the position of commander are all strong, and Georgina is no exception. She is an eighth-order magician, belongs to x-ng and is the wind, and is also the mother of the three Jie Emily.

The Greenland Empire started relatively late, and only after the opening of the Great Navigation Age did it taste the sweetness from maritime trade and gradually rise. When it comes to national strength, the Greenland Empire is inferior to the other four countries.

Twenty years ago, the Greenland Empire did not have an eighth-order magician sitting in town, which has always been the Queen's heart disease.

Georgina felt the Queen's worries, and took the initiative to ask the Queen to resign and leave, and go outside to hone herself. Ten years later, Georgina returned strongly when the Greenland Empire was attacked. At that time, she was already an eighth-order magician, and she ended the war with a turn of the tide and helped the motherland win. It took George Tina ten years to upgrade from the sixth to the eighth order. It took such a short time to imagine how much sweat she paid.

When it comes to ambition, loyalty, mentality, etc., Georgina is not inferior to men, and is the type of strong woman.

Tangke waited for a full half an hour before the captain's room m-n was opened. He entered the room in a muffled voice and gave Georgina a military salute.

"Warrant Officer, I called you here because I want to talk to you about those few sailing races. There are four races in total this time. There are two races for ordinary boats and two races for magic boats. It's racing and sh-smack. Which races do you want to take part in?" Georgina leaned her arms on the table, resting her chin, her brows slightly wrinkled, and the sides of her beautiful eyes showed signs of age.

"Of course I participated in all four games." Tangke blurted out. Those four games, each with a coveted championship reward, can't be missed.

"You have the Cangyan, and I have no objection to participating in the magic boat race, but I have no confidence in you for the two ordinary boat races."

Tang Ke frowned and said angrily, "What do you mean?"

"You brought two magic boats to the competition, which greatly increased our chances of winning. If I deprived you of the qualifications for the other two competitions, I will forgive you. If the ordinary boat you drive can win, I will give you the qualification for the ordinary boat." Georgina used a positive tone, and did not mean to ask Tangke's opinion.

Tangke stared at George Tina for a moment, with warm anger in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll take the game, but I'll add a little bit of the jackpot. If I win, I'll be given two boats per game."

Georgina turned her eyes and nodded, "I agree."

The huge fleet slowed down, and under the command of the commander, two small ships of the same model drove near the Scorpion. Although these two three-masted sailboats are small in size, they are very fast, with a top speed of 20 knots per hour, which is comparable to that of a magic boat. To save weight, both ships did not have any guns, and the wood of the hulls was very thin.

The commander sent a group of people to board the boat. These people are master boaters in the fleet, including the captain, helmsman, sailor, sailor, etc., everything is available.

Tangke also boarded another ship with his own men. Even though his power was not as strong as that of the Greenland Empire, he brought this group of people who were also masters at sailing. In order to win this maritime competition between the two countries, he paid all his capital and hired several captains in Greenland's ports.

"Windrunner, the name sounds nice."

Tangke glanced at the small flowing letters on the rudder and said with a smile.

Four other captains were also in place, three of them to control the sails of the three main masts, and the other to wait on Donk's side as a reserve captain. On ordinary sailboats, sail control is done by the sailor, but this game is no trivial matter, and the most experienced captain must control the sail.

The sailors were equally in their place. Although the large number of people will make the sailboat aggravate, at the extreme speed, the sailor needs to press the side to ensure the balance of the sailboat.

"It's a headwind. Visually, there are seven to eight levels." An old captain with a wide-brimmed hat looked at the pennant flying on the rope and shouted.

"It's fun to go against the wind." Tangke liked the game and pumped up his energy, "If I win today, the sailor will be rewarded 50 gold coins, and the sailor will be rewarded with 100 gold coins. Everyone cheered me up and sailed. must win"

The pirates responded with a bang and let out a roar of excitement.

"Don't be complacent, victory will belong to us." Some of the contestants on the Navy's Thousand Feather couldn't sit still, and provocatively said to this side. The navy is well-trained on weekdays, but under the sting of the game, the formation has long been lu-n, and they all lie on the side of the ship and shout.

Georgina ordered the navy on the Thousand Feather to calm down and hurry up to prepare. She is the referee for the race and is not involved in driving.

The rules of this game are very simple. Within the time limit of an hourglass, the two ships sail in a straight line against the wind. After the time limit is up, whoever sails ahead will win.

The two ships were soon ready.

"The game is on!" Georgina shouted in a crisp voice. Just by listening to her voice, she would never have guessed that she was already fifty years old. With a wave of her hand, she created a gale and sent two boats away.

The two ships were like wild horses running away, rushing forward, crushing the sea l-ng, and sailing with wind. Under the strong wind created by the magician, the sails were braced tightly, and the extremely tough mast bent along with it.

"It's too windy, tighten the rigging, the jib and the stay," Tangke ordered.

In fact, even if Tangke didn't order, the three captains were already doing the work. Under the strong tailwind, the canvas should not be too loose, and the three riggings should be stowed away to tighten the canvas.

After sailing for a long time, the tailwind created by magic disappeared and became a normal headwind.

"It's time to test me." Tangke's eyes narrowed, and he turned the rudder again and again. The huge wooden spokes were as light as a toy in his hand.

When a sailboat is sailing against the wind, there is an "optimal channel" on which the fastest speed can be obtained. The job of finding this mysterious channel rests entirely with the helmsman, not the sailor.

If the sailboat goes beyond the best fairway and runs to the windward side, the wind direction line on the front of the sail will be slack. If it runs to the leeward side, the wind direction line on the back of the sail will be slack. Only when it happens to be in the best fairway, The sail will show the perfect curve, get the smoothest wind

Through subtle observations, Tangke successfully found the best channel, allowing the Windrunner to gain the fastest speed. He glanced sideways, raised his eyebrows m-o, and found that the other Thousand Feather had also found the best course, proving that the other party's helmsman was not easy.

The two ships have been evenly matched since the beginning.

"Interesting, let's compare the sensitivity to the wind direction x-n Ke chuckled lightly, the wind direction is like a woman, it is ever-changing, and it is necessary to constantly adjust every detail on the sailboat in order to always maintain the highest speed.

This game is very fair, the boats are the same, the number of people on board is the same, and during the voyage, except for the gust of wind sent by Georgina, it is not allowed to interfere with the sailing of the boat in any way. Even at the bottom of the sea, a group of tiger and shark people are supervising. If Tangke asks sea beasts to help him on the bottom of the boat, he will be sentenced to lose.

The victory or defeat of the two ships is only based on sheer strength.

Half the time of the hourglass has passed, but the two boats still have not been able to tell the winner, the distance between the front and the back is only twenty yards.

"Captain, the water on the sea surface is a little dark, and the gust of wind is coming soon. This is our chance," reminded Wendy, who knows the sea best. Although the scars on her face have disappeared, she is still used to wearing a veil x-ng.

"Very good, let me use this gust of wind to increase the distance." Tangke became excited. The gust was stronger than usual, and it was the best time to speed up the sailboat.

Because the wind gust was predicted in advance, the Windrunner was prepared earlier than the Thousand Feather. When the gust came, the speed immediately soared, and the sailor on the deck almost fell. One person's hat was blown off, and the hat danced in the air. After a few moments, he fell into the sea.

The Windrunner took the opportunity to widen the gap of three hundred yards and ran ahead, and the pirates laughed.

In the following races, Chiba was not far behind, and kept chasing after them, shortening the distance between the two boats to a hundred yards.

The yellow sand in the hourglass had flowed to the end, and only a handful remained. At this last moment, both ships chose to change their course, pursue a tailwind, and try to run an extra distance at the last moment.

The so-called headwind is only relatively speaking, the sailboat cannot sail in the absolute headwind. In fact, the sails are inclined to accept the crosswind.

The game is about to end. Increase the wind power. Although it will deviate from the course, it will increase the speed. Anyway, it is almost over, and it doesn't matter if it deviates.

With the same idea, the two ships steered towards the southeast together, doing the final battle.

At the last minute, the pirates nervously adjusted every detail of the sailboat, maintaining their advantage, always overtaking the Thousand Feather.

time's up. The Windrunner won by about fifty yards.

"Haha, we won"

"Great, gold coins n-ng are in hand"

"How's it going? *** Navy, know how good we are?"

"Be quiet, idiots, now we're royal pirates, can't lu-n scold them."

"Uh, sorry, I was so excited that I forgot."

Tangke listened to the cheers of his subordinates, exhaled, and smiled. He handed the rudder to the reserve captain, turned around, and faced the Chiba, who had been left behind.

"You lost." Tangke raised his thumb, then turned the thumb downward and pressed it twice. Seeing this contemptuous action, the sailors on the Thousand Feather were so angry that their faces turned green.

Although it was a two-boat race, the entire fleet followed, and Georgina on the flagship watched the entire race with a telescope.

"I really can't underestimate these pirates. Their ability to sail ships is so superb." Georgina's face was neither sad nor happy, and she was not discouraged by the failure of her subordinates. Anyway, after a while, the competition between the two countries will be the highlight. If Tangke can win, it will also win glory for the Greenland Empire.

The two participating boats slowed down and fell into the arms of the grand fleet.

"You won. According to the agreement, I will give you two spots for each race. Come on, cheer up." Georgina said to Tangke.

"Thank you Commander. I don't think the captains and sailors on the Thousand Feather are very good. Would you like me to take some time and teach them for you?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary. And I want to remind you that in this game, I sent not the best captain in the fleet."

"So it is." Tangke shrugged with a smile, turned and left.

At this moment, the ~www.readwn.com~ system confirmed Tang Ke's eligibility and gave a task reminder.

"Ding you sent a competition task, the task goal is to win as much as possible in the naval competition between Greenland and Longya, and the task reward is the first place in the magic boat racing competition with 5000 points, the second place with 3000 points and the third place. 1000 points for the first place, 5000 points for the first place in the magic boat firing competition, 3000 points for the second place, 1000 points for the third place, 3000 points for the first place in the ordinary boat racing competition, 1500 points for the second place and 500 points for the third place, the ordinary boat firing competition 1st place 3000 points 2nd place 1500 points 3rd place 500 points.”

Tangke blew a whistle, and with the system tasks, the game had to work harder. After so long accumulation, his reward points have increased to 15,000 points. After this competition, it can be increased to at least 20,000 points. At that time, whether it is recruiting strong people or organizing special forces will be enough. .

He is now a sixth-order powerhouse, and the criteria for recruiting personnel have been relaxed accordingly, and he can recruit fifth-order powerhouses at most. In other words, as long as there are reward points, he can directly recruit fifth-order magicians

"Very good, let me fight hard this time"

Tangke strode out of Georgina's captain's room.
