"Too many suspicious targets?" Knight Morpheus muttered a few words and then fell into silence. Obviously he had not expected such a result before. At this time, while Captain Caplin was directing the aftermath, he also took the time to ask: "Mr. Murphy, what exactly did you see?" "Sacrifice, a lot of sacrifices. Although I can't peep into the process of sacrifice, but The preliminary preparation of sacrifices is not protected by divine power." Speaking here, Master Murphy emphasized his tone, "And according to my observation, those sacrifices were not prepared by the same group of people in the same area. Their clothes and the surrounding environment are completely different. "Sacrifice? Is this attack based on the influence of sacrifice?" Captain Caplin immediately thought of something and touched his own. Chin: "But with His Highness's temper, if he wants to make such a big noise, the number of sacrifices will be quite large. In this case, it is possible for several families to offer sacrifices separately." Although Captain Caplin He is not a professional researcher of theology or mysticism, but as an old man who lives on the ocean, he still has some understanding of the god who always affects his comfort. That God, who is as moody as the sea, is quite particular about credit when it comes to 'collecting money to do things'. It's just that her gift is not cost-effective, and the cost of causing the big scene before is absolutely staggering. "How many families participated in the sacrifice of this attack?" Knight Morpheus, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. It seemed that even though there were a large number of participants, the knight in front of him still advocated reciprocal retaliation. Mage Murphy turned his head and glanced at the knight: "Mr. Murphy, you'd better calm down. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. There are 4-5 companies that I recognize. There are more than a dozen that are nothing. I need to check the information after landing. "How come there are so many in Bolum? When did we offend so many people?" Leiter finally couldn't help but exclaimed. However, while he was acting, he also murmured in his heart: "80% of the trouble is caused by Tutkel's Commercial Republic. We are definitely in the wrong side" With such a prosperous situation under Bolum's leadership, it is absolutely impossible to It cannot be a completely peaceful rise. It is impossible to offend just one or two organizations and regimes, overtly or covertly. However, these hostile forces were basically recorded by the Bolum Territory. Members of the Bolum family who travel around know this. And Barrett can almost be said to have memorized everything. But according to Barrett¡¯s memory, even if all the records above are added up, they are less than double digits. Although it is possible that there are omitted enemies who are not included in the records, such a large numerical gap obviously makes this possibility extremely slim. If there are such big flaws in intelligence work, then the rule of the Bolum family will never survive. today. "We don't have that many enemies, but Tutkel Commercial Republic must have them. It seems that the other party has really spent a lot of money to defraud this agreement!" Knight Morpheus also immediately found the situation based on the situation. got the correct answer. "Compared to an earldom like Bolum, the Tutkel Commercial Republic is much larger. However, the strength of the enemies of the Tutkel Commercial Republic was proportional to its size, and their numbers alone absolutely crushed the enemies of the Bolum Territory. ??You can easily find 14-15 of those guys to hold large sacrifices, using the power of the angry sea god to cause trouble for the trade route plan between the two parties. Therefore, in many cases, it is not necessarily a good thing to unite with the powerful, because the enemy of the strong is often also the strong. Even if the quality is not good, quantity can still make up for it. And the Bolum leader naturally encountered the same problem now, but because he was not a weakling, he passed this test. Although so many sacrifices are not launched at the same time, when the purpose of the prayers is the same, it will also cause accumulation and superposition. Even if there is some loss in this, the concentrated power is still astonishing. And Captain Caplin's fingers tightly pressed a few scratches on the guardrail of the poop deck: "We have escaped a life and death disaster this time. I don't know that the Tutkel Merchant Republic sent on its back Will the fleet be as lucky as us? "The sea is vast, who knows about that kind of thing?" Master Murphy understood Captain Caplin's current mood, but he could only continue to pour cold water on it. But if that fleet is really wiped out, we will know the result when we get to the shore. "It seems that they are not worried about the team sent by Tutkel Commercial Republic!" ¡¯ Barrett immediately heard what they were saying. But he himself didn't think so. It is true that the military strength of Tutkel Commercial Republic is not strong, but what it lacks is mainly high-end combat power. The quality of the soldiers at the grassroots level and the level of the officers are pretty good. The navy is the military branch that tests these two points the most. In addition, the Tutkel Commercial Republic has money and is willing to invest in warships. Therefore, its naval strength is quite commendable. At least its overall strength in this aspect is much stronger than that of Bolum. "No matter what, those who deserve revenge still need revenge. We can't let those guys live a peaceful life." Knight Morpheus behaved quite stubbornly. Regardless of whether his party hit the passenger car by mistake, the loss just now was real. In this regard, he believes that justice is absolutely necessary. Barrett always felt like what he should do at this time: "I think how to deal with those framers, it is better to inform the territory first and then let the earl decide. You can't be allowed to fight in such a hurry alone. Come to the door!" "Do you think I am such a reckless person?" Knight Morpheus slapped Barrett on the head angrily. But when he turned back, he directly met the suspicious eyes of Master Murphy. This made Knight Morpheus's mouth twitch slightly. At this time, the second officer quickly waited on the poop deck: "Report to the captain! There are currently 641 people alive on the ship, and a total of 131 people are not included in the statistics. 83 of them are Marines." "There are actually that many people. "How much?" Captain Caplin has already been mentally prepared for this. But after hearing the exact number, his face still changed drastically, but it seemed that it was because most of the losses were marines, so there was no feeling of being top-heavy. Otherwise, the situation may be even worse. "I remember that the total number of Marines was less than 150! This time, most of them were killed or injured at once." Knight Morpheus said, pressing his forehead with his hand. Because the number of Marines is certain, it will inevitably increase the burden on him. Barrett, who directly participated in the deck defense battle, had no objection to this: "If the ship's medical supplies were not well stocked, the losses would probably not be just this amount." Thanks to the fact that the priest still has sufficient resources The battle lines were prepared, and most of the seriously injured sailors and marines had a good chance of surviving as long as they did not die on the spot. But even so, 131 people still passed away completely, which has to be said to be a huge loss. And this is only the loss of the 'Iron Curtain Barrier'. The loss reports of the 'Silver Sword Hero' and the 'Mithril Core' have not yet been notified here, but according to Barrett's expectations, they are definitely indispensable. . It can be said that this time alone, the Bolum fleet lost almost 20% of its manpower. The only good thing is that because the main battlefield is concentrated on the deck, most of the casualties are marines. The large number of sailors preserved will also prevent the subsequent daily navigation from being greatly affected. "The tail rudder has serious cracks and is loose. It must be reinforced to ensure safety" "Half of the sail cables need to be replaced, and the safety net also needs to be repaired" "The hull has extensive deformation and must be dealt with immediately. Otherwise, It is difficult to guarantee the safety of the next voyage. If possible, the keel part must also be systematically inspected to prevent the worst case scenario" "Three sails are broken to varying degrees, and the repairs will probably be completed tomorrow" "The array is about 150% overloaded and needs to be re-maintained. Apply to open the reserve in the safety cabin" "After the five artillery overheated, a rapid cooling plan was adopted. It needs to be repaired with magic, give it to me Find some helpers" "Eight sets of deck tool boxes are missing, and 5 barrels of wine are broken. Although the remaining supplies can be recycled, the losses are more than 10%" "In addition to the loss of personnel, The damage to the hull and the loss of supplies were also considerable. Different from the previous patching after the Naga attack, this time the repair work is definitely a big project. Looking at the representatives responsible for various aspects reported in front of Captain Caplin, Barrett felt lucky for some reason: "There are no sea monsters targeting the signal anchor, otherwise it will be a big problem." Less than half an hour later, Damage reports from the 'Silver Sword Warrior' and the 'Mithril Core' were also sent to Captain Caplin: "178 and 192 people? Baldick and Croce, are you idiots? How could you die so much? Are there so many here?" "Maybe it's because the deck is not strong enough during hand-to-hand combat!" While speaking, Master Murphy also cast his gaze on Barrett. Barrett, who suddenly found himself being stared at by several pairs of eyes, could only pretend to be unaware of anything and continue to watch the lower body.A busy sailor. Under the command of Master Michelang, they began to hurriedly divide the remains of the marine life on the deck. Follow the alchemist master's request and find useful materials for him. "It's a pity that only one came." Captain Caplin looked at Barrett and said with regret. But Master Murphy answered him with his wrinkled face: "It would be great to be able to temporarily mobilize one. You are not unaware of the current situation in the territory. Other places are also in need of manpower." Although Barrett wanted to do it very much. Tell them 'what you think is wrong. ¡¯ But at this time, he couldn¡¯t find a suitable explanation. Will be added later: "The tail rudder has serious cracks and is loose.
