The Nordic port of Baroskandania

Among the many open sea ports in the Nordic Barrow, the port of Scandania has always been famous for its beauty, and a century ago it was favored by the prime minister of the northern Asian kingdom called Onakufe

The beautiful scenery of the mountains and the sea, the blue and green water, the clear sea surface of the coral reef at the bottom of 50 meters, all made the Prime Minister of Onakufe think that this is the best place to vacation, he built Onakufe Castle here, and built a small trading port in the name of his daughter, Scandania

Over the years, this port has also been a little famous in the Nordic Barrow region, and many nobles who come to the Nordic Barrow will choose to come here in winter as a good place for vacation, close to the milder temperature of the Central European Barrow region, you can not see the cold monsoon in the north, but you can enjoy the dense forests that belong to the Central Europe Barrow region, the quaint and vast land, and the reindeer that are the favorite of the nobles, even if they are occasionally covered by snowflakes, it just adds a little to the beauty of the earth

The evening sunset sprinkled in the clear water, reflecting a little golden light on the bottom of the sea, and occasionally you can see the merchant ship gently gliding over the sea not far away, leaving a long trail behind the ship, and the waves split by the bow of the ship are so white, just like the white and endless sandy beach ripples in a circle and ripple densely and densely

Seagulls fly and fall in the light of the setting sun, like small white dots on the sea, playfully falling one after another on the coastline, intertwining a group of light and shadow calm pictures, fishing back from the small fishing boats coming back from the sea intermittently, in the harbor there are already hard-working fishermen sorting out fishing nets

The beach here is white and boundless, the sand is very fine and broken, there is a soft feeling when stepping on it, which makes people love it, the trees here are verdant, every leaf seems to be blown by the sea breeze, showing the most primitive emerald green, and their reflection falls in the clear water, which also dyes the sea water turquoise

100 meters in front of the target, Si Effinger excitedly put down the lookout goggles in his hand, and loudly ordered the fleet to lean in, the huge dragon-class battleship split the sea, and moved forward in the direction of the harbor

It is the season of spring and summer in the port of Scandania, the blue sky does not have the slightest variegation, only pieces of wool-like white clouds are slowly flowing, intertwined into a beautiful picture, the sea here is transparent, transparent, you can see the sand and gravel on the seabed, as well as the fish and shrimp hidden in the sand, the breeze blows through the sea water, and the ripples are blowing

It's easy to forget that this is the sea, and it's mistaken for some beautiful lake inland, and when the harbor is full of curious and confused targets, a huge warship enters the confines of the harbor with a strong oppressive force

Oh my God, what is that, the port suddenly became a mess, no one knew what was going on, the people in the port were instinctively stunned, looking at the dragon-class battleship and the dragon-tooth ship like a hill, slowly stopping in the harbor, the dragon-class battleship, the dragon head bow that people can only look at, like a thunder god covered with scales, all make the dragon-class battleship's burly posture like a giant beast floating from the deep sea, the agitated sea water squeezed out of its bottom, and slammed into the embankment on both sides of the port

The number of warships dispatched by the detachment this time is already very small, even if the supply ships are added, there are only 6, but for the small trading port of Scandania, which has always been the gateway to the North Sea, these huge warships that appear in the port make them feel very uneasy, and the port of Scandania belongs to the Kingdom of Northern Alexand, although this kingdom is not small in the land rule, but it does not have a navy itself, and there are no special defense facilities for the small trading port

Si Finger stood on the deck of the Dragon-class battleship, looking at the calm harbor in front of him, carefully searching for every suspicious target, but unfortunately, from the east to the west and from the west to the east, he did not find any valuable targets, the entire harbor except for dozens of small fishing boats ready to go out to sea to fish, there is nothing else worth noting, of course, except for the beautiful scenery here...,

It's no different from us

Si Finger's gaze swept over the crowd in the harbor, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, this was the first time Si Finger had seen an area outside the continent of Ikadiva, and it was also the first time he had seen the Obaros with the heavy iron anchor of the battleship fluttering and falling into the sea, and outside the baffle of the ship's side appeared a somewhat low but neat brown spired house, like a circle around the outside of the harbor, and on the steep cliff behind the harbor, a gray stone castle that looked like a few years old was towering, and the castle's pointed dome floated with the coat of arms of an unknown family

Commander, what should we do

A sailor ran over and asked, just after the docking, a negotiator came up from the port, this is a thin middle-aged man, wearing a linen coat that does not look high-end, holding a notebook for recording in his hand, and at first glance it is the person in charge of recording and registering in the port, because the sailors have already covered up all the traces that look like warships with all kinds of debris

We are a caravan from a distant sea, in need of docking and supplies, Si Edfinger came with a few sailors, and he waved to one of the Salander sailors behind him

The news from the Imperial Admiralty that Salander seems to be able to be used on this continent, this time it is just a test of Si Edfinger, and he doesn't want to expose the fact that these are battleships, and on the supply ship behind him, there are indeed more than a thousand catties of Salander's specialty fruit, thorn apples

This fruit tastes a little sour and even a little pungent and astringent, because the surface of the fruit has a soft prickly taste that makes people always feel like they can't spit clean, and the taste is not very pleasant, but it is an excellent food to resist septicemia during long sea voyages

Many of the fruits in the mountains of Salander are commonly eaten by wild goats, and they are also grown up in patches all over the mountains, and the first people to discover this effect were the Salander people, who pioneered ocean navigation and thus gave birth to a rich and colorful maritime culture

If it weren't for the survival of these thorny apples, they would not have been able to reach such glorious heights, but their maritime civilization suffered a heavy blow under foreign aggression, and the Falcon Navy picked up a big bargain

With the advance of the Southern Army in the south of Salander, many of the Sky Temples that were abandoned by the Normans at will inside the Southern Army obtained a lot of information about the stars and ocean currents, and it was because of these fat men that they made up their minds to build a usable sea passage between Salander and the continent of Obarro

Merchant ships that trafficked fruits

With the help of the gestures of the sailors of Salander, the harbor recorder finally understood what the large ships were doing, and he looked in the cabins of several prickly apples, picked up one and took a bite, and spat several times on the deck with bitterness

Okay, no matter who you are, you must obey the local laws, this port recorder said with a stern face, this is the family port of the Olakufei family, don't prevaricate me with the words you don't understand me, I've seen a lot of northerners, if you want to dock here, you have to pay taxes, understand, paying taxes means paying money, otherwise I will let the castle guards get up, and the port recorder skillfully makes a thumbs-rubbing motion

Do you want money, this time Si Edeng didn't need to explain to the sailor Salander, and he also understood the meaning from the obscene recorder's gesture, he waved his hand to the sailor Salander who was in charge of the translation with a calm face, and said Tell him that money is not a problem, but we are lost at sea and need adequate supplies, and some of our ships are also damaged, if he can introduce a good dock, I can give him double the reward alone

Salander sailor truthfully conveyed the meaning of Si Alpha, but the word double is a little difficult to explain, and he said for a while, Si Finger next to him walked directly over, took out a small money bag full of gold coins, and shook it in front of the recorder, and the recorder, who was still stern just now, immediately smiled at the corner of his mouth to the root of his ear, and there was a whine wow wow gesture in his mouth...,

Okay, it's all done

Si Finger smiled at the first mate behind him, and he sent a clever fellow to continue the negotiations with the recorder to obtain as much information as possible about the area, the dockyard lord's residence, the nearby roads, and the interconnected ports and trade routes, and the fleet, and the information could there be more detailed than the port trade recorder

By the time Si Edenger had figured out all the qiē, carefully covered the recorded report, and locked it in the iron box of the captain's room again, three days had passed, and the mystery of the land in front of him had basically been solved

Si Finger walked out of his captain's room and leaned on the side of the ship, it was dusk, as calm as it had come, the sea was completely covered by the light of the setting sun, the golden water was ebbing and falling with the wind and waves, and the scene in front of him brought Si Fingerger's thoughts into the report

This is not the mainland of the Obaro continent, but a half-moon-shaped island 200 miles away from the main continent of the Nordic Barrow, on which there are two lords

One is the Duchy of Ona and the other is the Duchy of Resamon, both of whom are dukes given by the Kingdom of Northern Alexand, and both families have a long history, which is said to be longer than the Kingdom of Northern Alexand

According to the recorder, the two families were not natives of Obarro, but had been settled over the millennium from across the ocean to escape their enemies

Most of the territories of the Duke of Ona's family are concentrated in the north of the island, which is a swamp by the sea, and it is also the only area on the island where wheat can appear, so the Dukedom of Ona is better in agriculture than the southern part of the barren mountains, and the population is relatively dense, and the capital of Ona Fink is the second largest city in the Kingdom of Northern Alexand, with a population of more than 70,000

The southern mountainous county of Resamon is different, it is mostly concentrated in the barren mountains, so the food crisis has always been a big problem, although it has twice the land area in the north, but it has a population of just over 30,000 people

The capital city of Ressa is a famous stone town, the whole city is built of huge stones, like a beast entrenched on a high cliff, completely like a military fortress, with a population of less than 20,000 people, most of the Resamon people are scattered in various mountains to live, only in the battle will gather, the harsh and barren environment has created the Resamon people are not afraid of hardship, the name of the Resa warrior is very famous in the whole of Central and Northern Europe

The current Duke of Resamon has a very close relationship with Duke Ona, and they also trust each other very much, Resamon once traveled in the continent of Obaro in the name of knight, and is forty-three years old this year, and is also considered an ambitious figure in the Kingdom of Northern Alexand, he inherited the title of Duke of Resamon, and then carried out a number of reforms in response to the current situation of the Duke of Resamon, and after abandoning the previous implementation of the peasant and soldier system, he formed a regular army of 4,000 people, which is also considered a strong military country in the Kingdom of North Amazon

Because the Kingdom of Northern Flad to which they belong is not a truly complete kingdom in law, but a kingdom composed of many territorial alliances, the king is the most powerful lords in turn, and the power is not large, almost except for the direct domain of their own royal family, the effectiveness of their power will be greatly reduced, and the lord does not sell the face of the king from time to time

In the whole Central and Northern Europe region, the strength of the North Asian region is relatively weak, gathered in this narrow area of about 7 million people, the population of this narrow area is only about 7 million, large and small territories are more than 30, is a combination of mountains and many islands, the population is scattered, the main economy also depends on the sea, so there is not much military strength on land

The most important thing is that it is precisely the connection point between the Central European Barrow and the Northern European Barrow, so it has inevitably been affected by the mutual pressure of the two regions over the years, whether it is the rise of the Northern European Barrow or the overlords of the Central European Barrow to march to the north, they will always be the first to think of the North Asian Malp region...,

Therefore, the territory of the United Kingdom of North Asian Linen is always changing, one year occupied by the Central Union of Nations, and the next year by the Northern Union Army, but in order to stand on the moral high ground to blame each other and gain the so-called kingdom influence

The coalition forces of the two regions did not admit that they had sent troops to occupy the land of the Kingdom of North Flax, and they all declared themselves to be the righteous side, and they all called their troops to resist the invasion, because in the North Flad region, more than a dozen territories located inland, were also clear-cut, and they stood on the two sides of Central and Northern Europe, in fact, it was just for self-preservation, but once a war broke out, these areas were the first front lines of the war, a land of war

Under the tremendous pressure of this kind of regional confrontation, it can be said that the survival of these regions is very difficult, often one flag is planted today to declare that it belongs to Central Europe, Baro will be replaced tomorrow with another flag, and Baro will be attached to the Nordic Barrow, and there will simply be flags planted on both sides, and whoever wins under their castle will leave their flag

Of course, for this kind of wall grass, no matter which side will be very despised, so there are no longer a few lords who have been beheaded, but this is also a helpless thing, and in the end, Central European Barrow and Northern Europe Barrow both thought of a way, they supported each other's people in the North Asian Malmad region, and finally formed the current situation of independent sea and land confrontation

This is the best area for the Empire to intervene in, and it will also be the foundation of the Empire's open territory, and Edfinger carefully wrote this sentence into the report that will be sent back to the Admiralty

He was not a strategist, but he could also find that this area sandwiched between Central and Northern Europe was simply a natural point of intervention, and the Imperial Admiralty had spent so much energy and even sent the most valuable Dragon-class warships to explore the way, and it was impossible to just come here to see what the Obaros looked like

Antolus Anfinger stood up from his table and sealed the report very carefully, because it was to be tied to the pigeon's leg, so there were not many words that could be written, and Sianfinger could only briefly explain the route and the situation, and then handed it to the first mate who heard the sound, and sent it back to the fleet, and we will return in three days, and everyone is ready

It's great to go back in three days, and the first mate Antoru said happily that the climate here is really uncomfortable, or the climate in Salander is better, even in the hot July and winter, it is like spring all year round, and there are delicious yellow umbrella fish, which is simply a sailor's paradise

Is there news from the base camp about the Enke detachment, Si Anfinger's voice stopped, and he continued to ask

No, I think they may have been in some trouble, hearing Si Anfinger's inquiry, the first mate Antoru, who was still full of joy just now, shook his head with a slightly dark face, hoping that the sea god would not embarrass them

The Enke detachment is a parallel departure with Si Anfeng's detachment, and the exploration fleet should also arrive at the same time as the Obaro continent according to the time, but since entering the Lost Sea, the connection between the two fleets has been cut off, and their own fleet has arrived here for three days, while the parallel Enke detachment has no shadow, which has to make Si Anfinger have some ominous premonitions in his heart

Three minutes later, a white carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and flew into the sky, quickly turning into a small black dot in the sky, disappearing into the sky with this information that can stir up the situation on the Obaro continent (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation)
