Mystery: Shadow of Order - Chapter 257
“Boom~”
“Bang~”
“Boom~”
Seeing some scribbles on the paper, Rawls shook his head. After three days of sailing, the Pritzker Ironclad Fleet had resisted the port of Damir, and set off again after six hours of repairing at the port and replenishing fresh water and food.
According to the pre-planning, this fleet will follow the route of Damir Port – Tiana Port – Bayam, although it will pass through Tiana Port in the middle, but the purpose of this time is to conduct voyage training, Therefore, it does not stop at the port of Tiana, and will resist Bayam after driving for nearly 5,000 nautical miles in a row.
This can not only achieve the purpose of long-distance training, but also allow the fleet to maintain its due combat capabilities on the way, and will not be taken advantage of by pirates.
But since the fleet sailed out of the port of Damir, it has encountered four pirates along the way. As the ace of the Loen Navy, the Pritzker Ironclad Fleet will naturally not choose to give up this good training opportunity.
The only pity was that Rawls could not go up to the deck to watch the spectacle of shelling pirates.
However, according to Colonel Delin Hacker, the captain of the Glory, the Pritz was not attacked by these shellings, but was attacked by the two battleships Glory and the Raven, which were dragging in front, and sank a Two pirate ships with a total bounty of more than 2,000 pounds were hit hard and one escaped.
In these four naval battles, Rawls could perceive that the Beyonders on the warships did not take action, but simply bombarded them. After all, ghost ships are extremely rare for these pirates who cannot reach the level of pirate generals, and they Their own ability and guts are not enough for them to carry out a pick-up battle.
This is not a merchant fleet, but a mixed fleet of ten ships in the Loen Kingdom with an average displacement of more than 7,000 tons. Among them, there is an iron armored fleet. Even the pirate generals will avoid it, and the four pirate kings will also consider themselves. Choose to give up.
“Boom~Boom~Boom”
There were a few more sporadic shelling, and Rawls knew that the naval battle was over. He glanced at his own record on the paper again, sorted it out, got up and went to the bed, removing the pillow to reveal a gray fluff. Throwing the purse, after taking a deep breath, he quickly opened the purse and threw a few pieces of paper into it.
His face paled a bit in an instant, and his body staggered and almost fell on the bed. Rawls kept sliding his left hand down his chest, suppressing the feeling of wanting to vomit.
If he wasn’t worried that he might be found by the “judge” Delin Hacker, or the demigod on the Pritz, he didn’t need to be so uncomfortable every time he took out the collar button alone. .
However, Rawls, who had been on the Glory for six days, no longer had to pretend to be seasick, and he could not go out except to stay in this room.
Putting the pillow back, Rawls sat back at the small table and began to summarize what was just on the paper. On the day he got on the ship, he held this week’s Tarot Club. Last week, he entrusted the “hanged man” Alger Wilson with the task of collecting relevant information, but Alger was preparing to participate in the pirate conference, and the relevant information was only collected. half.
Rawls, who was on the ship, was not able to carry out the gifting ceremony, so he had to let Alger dictate part of it first, and the rest and the intelligence he did not collect would need to wait until he arrived at Bayam before continuing the transaction, and the part he dictated was exactly the same. It’s about Bayam.
Rawls probably had a certain understanding of Bayam from the content of Algi’s dictation, some of the content told by Philip, and what he already knew:
“The City of Generosity” Bayam is the capital of the Rhosid Archipelago, the fulcrum of the Loen Kingdom’s colonial rule in the Central Sunia Sea, and one of the top cities in this region, with a large number of powerful official Beyonders.
Officially, there are three forces, the Church of Storms, the navy, and the local governor, and of course, the parliament and the court, which are official forces with few Beyonders.
The leader of the Church of Storms here is the Cardinal, the Archbishop of the Rhodes Sea, and the Senior Deacon of the Punisher – “Sea King” Yan Kotman; the navy is the Supreme Commander of the Navy in the Central Sunia Sea Region – Admiral Amyliu S. Levitt; the local governor is a member of the Negan family – George Negan.
These three parties formed the official Beyonder forces in the Rhodes waters. The first two were responsible for fighting pirates near the Rhodes Islands and the local rebels. The latter mainly maintained the prosperity and prosperity of the Rhodes Islands, while the underground forces were more or less connected with the Governor’s Palace.
Among the underground forces, the “Gold Coin Casino”, “Red Theater”, “Swordfish Bar” and “Fragrant Leaf Bar” are all places where Beyonders are more active. Among them, the owner of the “Gold Coin Casino” is the most closely related to the Governor’s Palace. Most pirates know this and are their first choice to sell stolen goods and buy what they need.
Needless to say, the “Red Theater” is a paradise for every man. Countless pirates come here because of it. Even if one or two colleagues are caught there every once in a while, it will not prevent them from moving forward one after another. Similarly, underground transactions related to Beyonder materials and mysticism are quite frequent here, and there are many circles.
Unlike Backlund, in the Church of the Seven Gods at Sea, mainly the Church of Storms tends to turn a blind eye to the Beyonders. As long as they are not on the bounty list, they will basically not take the initiative to attack wild illegals. After all, These people can also take care of places that the church and the military cannot.
The “Swordfish Bar” is a recognized gathering place for adventurers, while the “Fragrant Leaf Bar” is more active with pirates, informants and some adventurers, where not only tasks are issued, but guns, ammunition, various intelligence can be purchased, and There will be Extraordinary gatherings, but there is the possibility of being hacked.
Rawls did not intend to leave the Glory when he arrived at Olavi, but chose to disembark at Bayam. In addition to the fact that Darkwill’s teacher, Roy King, will be waiting for him in Bayam, he has another layer of consideration.
Compared to the Rhodes Islands, Oravi is not very big. Auston Leavitt is also the local governor. The Leavitt family bought a lot of land and manor in his office. Once you enter Oravi, it is equivalent to entering the other side. old nest. Rawls might as well use the identity arranged by Philip to sell arms in Bayam, look for businessmen or pirates with a Feysac background, and follow the line to find Olavi. With the help of Roy King, the Beyonder of the “Fate” pathway, he believes that his luck will not be too bad.
As for the source of the arms, he speculates that it has a lot to do with the Governor of Bayam, George Negan. Philip has not inherited the family yet, and all he can use is the family power. The Negan family should be behind the smuggling team on the frigate.
Therefore, if Rawls wants to sell arms in Bayam, there are very few targets to choose from. Naturally, the “Gold Coin Casino” closely related to the Governor’s Palace will not work. The “Red Theater” is not suitable. It’s places like “Swordfish Bar” and “Scented Leaf Bar”, and those pirates must have buyers with a Feysac background.
If you don’t have it or can’t find it, you can only venture to the “Gold Coin Casino”.
…
“dong dong dong”
“Enter.”
Wearing a dark blue navy uniform and carrying the colonel’s epaulettes on his shoulders, Derin Hacker pushed the door and entered, his face serious, showing no joy in winning.
Rawls knew why when he saw the expression on his face, this should be the third time. The pirate ship that had just been bombarded should have been severely damaged. If you pursue it for a longer distance, you can sink it and obtain the treasures on it.
For the navy of this era, pirates not only meant credit, but also wealth. But for a fleet that is on a mission like the Pritzker Ironclad Fleet, it must obey the command of the flagship, the Pritzker Ironclad, and not pursue it.
This dissatisfied the commanders and soldiers of the “Glory” and another battleship “Ravaged”, consumed ammunition, paid damage, but only gained the wealth of one pirate ship.
“Major Admiral Wilson ordered to stop the pursuit again?” After a few days, Rawls also had a certain understanding of the Captain of the Pritzker.
Delrin Hacker’s face turned gloomy again. He thought that as the commander of a fleet, Major General Wilson’s command and style could not satisfy and obey him. Despite the mission of long-distance training, the morale issue must also be taken into account. He experienced five artillery battles in three days, but only obtained some property, which would have a great impact on the soldiers on the “Glory”.
As the commander, Major General Wilson should at least let the three battleships in the rear come on board, and let the “Glorious” and “Ravaged” that have been serving as “pioneers” rest for a while, otherwise they have not arrived at Bayam yet. The zeal dissipated.
“Our major general may have his own ideas!” Colonel Delin didn’t want to mention this matter again, and began to change the subject, “Look at your face, you have adapted to life at sea.”
“Six days of life on board, plus these five artillery battles, if I don’t get used to it, I will apply to Philip to return to Backlund.”
Rawls saw that Delin Hacker’s nostrils were slightly enlarged, and he knew that his words had stimulated him, and he did not continue. Appropriate is best.
“Becklund, the last time I went back was half a year ago.”
“Six months ago?” Rawls was a little surprised, “Prize Harbor is not very far from Backlund.”
Delrin Hacker took a deep breath, and his tone was not very good:
“The ‘Glory’ and the ‘Ravaged’ were temporarily incorporated into this fleet. We received orders on the way back to Backlund from Conant, and we only stayed for three days after resisting the Port of Pritz. mission.”
No wonder you are so dissatisfied with Major General Wilson that you were temporarily incorporated and assigned as a vanguard officer. If it was a war, you would be cannon fodder…
“How can it be temporarily incorporated? Shouldn’t an ironclad ship like the Pritz have been arranged for which warships to be incorporated?” Rawls stood up from behind the table, and his body swayed a little while holding the table.
“Maybe those generals have their own ideas.” Delin Huck put his arms around his chest and looked at the swaying Rawls with a smile, “When you get to Bayam, it is estimated that you can follow the ships. I swayed and adjusted my posture.”
Like the answer to Wilson, is this adjustment to hit the Negan family? If it wasn’t for being suspected by you, I could have done it now… Rawls looked at Derin Hacker and shook his head with a wry smile:
“I’m afraid it won’t work, maybe I can do it when I return.”
“Then I’m afraid I won’t see it. The return journey is from Tuscat Island to the port of Tiana, there will be no stops in between, only one supply at sea.”
“This is really voyage training!”
From Tuscat Island to the port of Tiana, the sailing distance is nearly 8,000 nautical miles. Although there are sea supplies in the middle, it can almost consume the soldiers on this fleet. If you ambushed this fleet outside Yana Port, the possibility of defeating them is very high!
In the face of Rawls, Delin Hacker doesn’t seem to have the awareness of keeping it secret. In his opinion, he can help Philip, the heir of the Negan family, to deal with some things, and he must be a cronie of the Negan family. And this information does not need his captain to reveal it, and it will be sent to the Negan family.
After all, Duke Negan is still an admiral, but he no longer actively participates in the internal struggle of the navy, but this does not mean that the power of the Negan family in the navy has declined. As the most influential family in the navy after the royal family, there are shadows of the Negan family in almost every fleet and port.
As Philip’s classmate and friend, Colonel Delin has always tried to maintain a good relationship with him. According to his previous expectations, Philip will become an admiral like his father Pallas Negan~www.mtlnovel.com~ That Delin Hacker would at least be a general too.
But Philip was suddenly transferred back to Backlund to serve as the chief of Hillston police, which shattered Delin Hacker’s dream of being a general. Even this time he was temporarily incorporated under the command of Major General Wilson of the royal faction. There may not have been internal struggles. shadow. Therefore, he agreed to help Philip.
“But won’t this cause trouble? Philip told me that the pirates seem to be holding a party recently, and the pirate generals and even the pirate kings will attend.”
As the owner of the “Dark Emperor” and the intelligence officer of “King of the Five Seas” Nast, Rawls naturally wanted to inquire about some information. After all, he also wanted to use the power of the “Dark Emperor” in Bayam. Moreover, he remembered that the Pritz fleet seemed to be in conflict with Nast in the future.
Colonel Delin was a little surprised, but thinking that Rawls was dispatched by Philip at this time, he would naturally be informed of certain information.
“Those pirates didn’t dare to plunder near the port, and they didn’t know that we were conducting expedition training this time. The speed of information dissemination on the sea was very slow. When they responded, we had already entered the port.”
His words are indeed correct, even though Rawls now knows that this fleet will consume a great deal of power before reaching the port of Tiana, but he does not know the specific time. At sea, even warships have no way to resist huge winds and waves, and damage or even sinking is possible.
“dong dong dong”
Rawls and Derin Huckqiqi looked out the door, the latter came to the door a few steps, opened the door and whispered a few words to the captain at the door, then turned to look at Rawls and said:
“Major General Wilson is coming to inspect.”
