Chapter 114 Sea Training

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Under the blue sky and above the waves, white sails danced with green blades cutting through the waves.  Riding on the southward air current, the Bolum fleet departed from the Port of Morbihan.  Amid the blue waves, we traveled day and night to unravel the unknown fog on the sea chart.  The fleet composed of three frigates, the 'Silver Sword Hero', the 'Mithril Core' and the 'Iron Curtain Barrier', was lined up.  While cutting through the waves one by one, he was also swaying left and right under the influence of the waves.  Fortunately, there are no big storms at the moment, and the design and manufacturing of the frigate itself is even more sophisticated.  Therefore, even children with weak constitutions are not prone to physical discomfort just because of the rocking of the boat.  What's more, the people participating in the operation this time were elites recruited by the Bolum Territory.  These strong men either have extraordinary strength or have long-term maritime experience.  Even relatively weak mages have their own set of coping methods.  So this time the voyage was different from the past. The cabin was not filled with a vomit-like smell from the beginning.  "Plop" The wooden barrel thrown from the side of the ship fell directly into the sea, and then the pair of shiny dark arms swung back and forth, and the full bucket of seawater was lifted up by the muscular arms.  The sea water was splashed directly on the deck with a "crash", and then the nearby sailors immediately waved the grindstones in their hands to clean the wood, which had no stains.  " A boatload of strong men, if we don't find something to do for them, something will happen sooner or later during this long journey.  The work of washing the deck not only consumes their energy, but also exercises their discipline and obedience.  It can be regarded as a cost-effective choice.  Of course, in addition to this almost useless task of wiping the deck, Badham was also commanding another group of sailors to perform a relatively meaningful task.  At this time, they were using the grindstone in their hands to rub the round cast iron cannonballs, making a "blah blah blah" sound. The sparks that occasionally flashed out disappeared into the air as soon as they left their hands.  No trace left.  These basic cast iron cannonballs corrode extremely quickly in the salty water vapor.  Moreover, the rusted parts of steel are not like the protective film of aluminum products. They will further accelerate the rust of the intact parts.  If left unchecked, it won't be long before there won't be much usable ammunition left on the ship.  But just wiping off the rust is not enough.  If this iron ball with friction lines is directly exposed to the air, given the sea environment, it will return to its old appearance in a few days.  Therefore, the cannonballs that have been derusted in the hands of one person will be handed to the other end of the cabin, where experienced sailors will use tung lacquer to cover the cleaned iron balls with a protective film.  In short, even middle- and lower-level officers need to be responsible for supervising and directing the work of the sailors under them.  Except for those people who took turns lying on the hammocks, only naval officers with higher status had their own time at this time.  Of course, guests like Barrett don't need to be involved in that kind of physical labor.  But he doesn't have any spare time now.  Letting the oncoming strong wind blow across his face, Barrett launched a charge and thrust his weapon through the blade, tearing at the surrounding airflow.  But then a black light flashed, and Barrett felt an irresistible force coming from his arm, and then his whole body was deflected by the huge force.  Then he fell down nearly 20 feet, and then he successfully stabilized his figure by relying on the influence of gravity. Fighting in the sky is no better than on land. In a place like this, Barrett's feet are hanging in the air, and he can't help himself at all.  Foot God.  And like the situation just now, it is impossible to find a suitable buffer target.  If he was fully capable of standing on the surface and turning around, now he was thrown far away like a badminton.  ¡®Sure enough, aerial combat still requires too much attention. Even with the help of ¡®Fly¡¯ and ¡®Freedom¡¯, my current experience still has big problems.  ¡¯ Barrett, who stood in the air again, looked at the Knight Morpheus on his upper right.  After taking a deep breath, he charged again.  The "clang" sound of metal collisions coming from overhead still attracted the attention of many people on the deck.  But in just a moment, the officers waved the nine-tailed whips in their hands. Although they did not hit the sailors, just listening to the sound made them obediently retract their attention and resume their focus.  Busy with the work at hand.  While fighting, the movement was controlled and kept relatively parallel to the advancing ships.  This may not be a difficult task for Knight Morpheus who drives his mount, but for Barrett, it is a double test of body and spirit.  After all, the sailing battleship's forward speed is not slow. Just such pursuit consumes a lot of Barrett's physical strength.  In just an hour or so, Barrett raised his hand because his physical strength had reached the warning line.drop.  Then it landed back on the deck along with the sea breeze. The gentle sound of landing attracted the attention of many sailors.  But then the "crack, crackle, crackle" sound of the whip made them obediently turn back to rub the deck.  And as Barrett left, Knight Morpheus, who was left alone in the air, felt the weapon and pulled the reins to control his mount back to the deck.  After turning over and dismounting, he patted the horse's head, and the smart little guy flapped his wings and flew towards the stern deck.  There are people there who will look after the expensive horse.  It was also common to keep animals on large ships like this, although the average sailor could live on bread, cheese, beans, bacon and rum.  But the officers still have requirements for fresh ingredients. There is a specially opened livestock room on the lowest deck below the medical cabin, where cattle and sheep are raised.  Pigs are excluded from the Boreham Navy due to their susceptibility to zoonotic diseases, but it is said that they are still raised in other fleets.  In fact, in addition to the specially opened livestock rooms, the mutton sheep raised on some ships can even walk freely on the forecastle and upper deck.  However, those active geese and hens can only be kept in lifeboats or cages on the deck.  Compared with the big white geese that will be used to hold banquets at any time, the lives of the hens that provide eggs are more secure.  Of course, the completely different food standards of different classes may be difficult for many people in real society to accept.  However, Barrett, who also enjoys this kind of privilege, cannot do the kind of thing of 'picking up the bowl to eat, then putting down the bowl to curse'.  At this time, he was really breathless waiting for Knight Morpheus's comments.  "The performance is pretty good, and the grasp of the battle rhythm has become more and more proficient." But after performing a few sentences just now, Knight Morpheus suddenly changed his tone: "But compared with a year ago, your fighting skills are much better."  The progress has been very limited. Have you spent more than a year on other aspects?" Faced with Knight Morpheus's sharp comments, Barrett scratched his head in embarrassment: "Although it will be more  The experience was spent on other aspects, but I didn¡¯t give up on combat skills. ¡°I didn¡¯t give up, but the experience I put in was greatly reduced!¡± Mo, who didn¡¯t know much about Barrett¡¯s deeds.  The Fez Knight was easily misled by his few words.  This is not because Knight Morpheus is really that easy to deceive, but because his ideas are in line with the normality of this world.  After all, a situation like Barrett's is actually quite rare.  "But no matter how much effort I spend, the progress in that area is already very insignificant." Speaking of this, Barrett also deliberately retorted, "On the contrary, it is the improvement of other abilities that can increase my combat effectiveness.  Big growth. And my story has made some progress in terms of skills? This can¡¯t be said to be lagging behind!¡± ¡°I understand what you young people think, after all, I was young when one of the directions hit a bottleneck.  , it is inevitable that they will become restless and restless, and some will turn to other directions to find solutions like you." At this point, Knight Morpheus paused, "Although that is not a mistake in a sense, don't.  Forget Barrett, you are now just one step away from becoming a weapon master. This leap is no small matter. As long as you take that step, your strength and status will be greatly improved. " Hearing this.  Barrett shook his head: "I understand what you said. However, I have been training outside for the past year. That kind of environment does not allow me to gamble on the bottleneck that I don't know when I can break through. Only the power that can be obtained quickly can  It is a real security guarantee. "Of course, on the other hand, Barrett, who has exposed his identity as a divine vessel, now has a higher status in the eyes of Bolum leaders than a 'weapon master' in the general sense.  However, this reason cannot be made public. After all, no one except fools will expose their secret weapons to the sun.  Of course, for this reason, you can't speak even if the other party is Knight Morpheus.  "Tsk tsk! It seems that what you need most now is not adventure, but long-term practice and self-examination." Knight Morpheus's mouth raised sharply when he said this, "So during this period at sea, I  I will teach you well." Barrett frowned after hearing this: "Tell me about teaching! But Knight Morpheus is not a master of your own martial arts. You just use the uniqueness of the knight's way to suppress me.  That's all. " "The master of martial arts is a kind of method of defeating the strong by the weak. When you can use your current strength to sustain my attack for 15 times, it should be considered a breakthrough in that aspect."  Knight Morpheus paid no attention to Barrett's sarcasm.  After all, the route he chose is completely different from that of a martial arts master. As long as he is good at this type of skills,?Okay.  ¡®The master of martial arts uses the weak to defeat the strong.  Only knights can say it!  Who makes you always stand on the stronger side most of the time" Barrett complained in his heart, but had another attitude on his lips: "I can't stand it for 5 times now! I'm unlucky to fight once.  "It's really hard to say what it takes to achieve the level you said." Knight Morpheus was immediately asked.  Who told him that his research in this area was not very in-depth!  However, after a brief silence, he still spoke: "The most important thing is your grasp of your own rhythm and your understanding of your own fighting style. Of course, this is only the experience of predecessors, and I don't have much research on it myself.  And different people have different ways of getting there. You can only feel it for yourself. " "Thank you very much for your teaching." Although Barrett, who has experienced that period, actually knows it well.  bright.  But since Knight Morpheus is willing to explain, he must also express his gratitude.  After all, knowledge is a very valuable asset in this world, and the experience of previous generations cannot be passed on casually.  Don¡¯t look at Barrett and Knight Morpheus talking casually on the deck like this.  But except for Barrett himself, the rest of the sailors could not hear the experience information just now. Knight Morpheus has a unique skill and can do it in such a public place.  .  This kind of skill is quite common among knights. As long as it is an officially knighted knight who has been passed down for three generations, basically everyone has it.  As for other professionals, it depends on the foundation of their own force.  Many skills are not that rare, but once they are not made public, people with no connections will not be able to find them.  "Okay! I've been fighting all morning. I think you're tired now." After saying this, Knight Morpheus patted Barrett on the shoulder: "Have a good rest and continue in the afternoon." The rest of the day is like this.  Among them, Barrett was trained by Knight Morpheus every day.  And the crisp 'clang' sound above the 'Iron Curtain Barrier' has become a kind of relief for the sailors on the way where they can't see other scenery.  I don¡¯t know if it was Knight Morpheus¡¯s instruction or the captain¡¯s arrangement.  Since training began, Barrett has been able to eat a fresh boiled egg every day.  You must know that although there are a large number of hens raised on this ship, even the special chickens raised with high technology in reality cannot lay eggs every day.  Even though the druids have unique methods in breeding, the people who take care of the chickens on the frigate are just ordinary sailors.  It is simply impossible to maximize the capabilities of those birds.  In addition, there are a lot of officers on the frigate, and it is difficult to do it with just one person.  Therefore, Barrett's current situation can be regarded as a special case among mid-level officers. Of course, no one will complain about this, because the strength he has shown has convinced everyone.  (To be continued.)
