Chapter 8: 8: The route from the North Sea to the Great Trade Route is blocked!
...
The other side.
The North Sea.
Naval HQ has just received word of the temporary interruption in the meeting.
In front of the main channel near the Upside Down Mountain.
This is the only way to enter the North Sea from the Great Voyage, or to sail from the North Sea to the Great Voyage.
No matter what kind of ship it is, no exception.
Even if it is a warship escorting the Heavenly Gold.
And today.
It is the time when the first group of warships collect the Heavenly Gold from the North Sea.
A ship that can only hold one person.
is docked here.
At the same time.
It is this one-man ship, seemingly insignificant in the face of the boundless ocean,
that has stopped the path of a 'behemoth'!
At the moment.
In the command room of the giant warship escorting the Heavenly Gold,
Rear Admiral Loth, in charge of the escort, is racking his brains.
How to please the most honourable guest from the Holy Land.
If this most honourable guest is satisfied, he will speak well of him to the Grand Admiral.
He may even be transferred directly to Naval Headquarters!
In the meantime, Root has used almost all of his skills to curry favour.
But still,
"Beauty... wealth, slaves, wine, everything I can give has already been given,"
Root looked up, reluctantly, at the upper second floor of the warship, where no one is allowed to go.
"Now that the distinguished guest on board is about to leave the North Sea, if I miss this opportunity to curry favour, my future may be over."
He saw that the route on the chart was getting closer and closer to the Great Voyage,
Red suddenly let out a low growl:
"No, I can't let this go. I've risked everything... Come to think of it, what other methods are there? What methods can..."
"Yes, that's right...!"
Rote's gaze suddenly fell on a slave who had been tied to the front of a warship the day before, tortured by wind and sun, screaming in agony.
Rote's thoughts raced through his mind.
From his observations over the past few days
it seemed that the noble guest enjoyed watching the pointless struggles of ants before they were crushed.
If... Red's heart fluttered.
If only... he could find a few random towns along the way!
Then set up a pirate base and wipe them out...
After all, the dead can't talk.
Whether they're civilians or pirates doesn't matter to him.
On the contrary, if he really pleases this nobleman,
his future may be assured!
As for whether the matter will come to light in the future,
Loth doesn't worry.
After all, if he succeeds,
he will be transferred out of this North Sea hellhole.
After all, the scum of the North Sea are plagued by the Mafia and pirates all day long, and they hardly get enough to eat.
Since he will die sooner or later,
it is better for him, Major General Roth, no, future Major General Roth, to provide value than to be burned, killed and looted by pirates in the future.
The thought crossed his mind and a cruel light appeared in Roth's eyes.
However,
But before he could use his dog-licking skills to perform well,
Suddenly,
the entire warship escorting the Tianjin Gold suddenly stopped.
And because it stopped so suddenly,
there was a loud rumble...!
The entire giant warship was shaking.
Major General Roth was unable to stand and fell straight to the ground.
Not caring about his bleeding nose, he looked panicked to the forbidden place on the second floor of the warship.
Nothing must happen there!
Fortunately, Roth did not hear an angry voice coming from behind the fear of his pounding heart.
Phew~
A hanging stone fell to the floor.
So the first task now...
is to find out what the hell is going on out there!
Have those bastards gone mad?
Don't the idiots below me know that if this was just an ordinary gold shipment, it would be fine.
But now there is a noble being on this ship, worth more than one ten-thousandth of the gold found in the entire North Sea?
If this noble guest is not well served,
forget his dream of promotion and leave the North Sea!
He might even lose his hat as a rear admiral!
With this thought in his head, Loth walked quickly towards the deck of the warship.
But before Loth could ask why the warship had stopped,
Loth noticed that almost everyone on the deck had fallen silent, collectively unable to believe what they were seeing not far away.
Loth frowned at first.
Unconsciously, he followed the gaze of the people on the warship.
The next moment...
Psst!
Even as a rear admiral, he had seen all kinds of strong winds and big waves in the North Sea,
Faced with the 'unforgettable' scene before him,
Rothe could not help but gasp in shock, his heart pounding wildly.
He could not help but rub his eyes, and when he regained his senses, he unconsciously screamed.
"What... what's going on? !"
He saw
the route that the Heavenly Gold transport ship must take to reach the Great Sea Route.
Originally, it was a strait that went through the Red Earth Continent...
If they went through there, they could leave the North Sea and reach the Great Sea Route!
That is how the route should have been.
And the memory is not wrong.
But...
At this very moment.
In front of the sea area in front of the escorting Heavenly Gold warship.
Which is...
But the red earth continent on the side looks like it has been cut off by some kind of terrible blow!
Countless giant red stones have piled up in the sea.
The route from the North Sea to the Great Waterway... is blocked!
Three things about reading: reading, collecting and rewarding!
