"Captain Kuber, look to the left, it looks like we're being targeted!" A sailor pulling the sails on the slowly moving merchant ship of the merchant alliance reported loudly to a young man lying on the deck basking in the sun

"What? Someone is eyeing our ship? Are you kidding?"

Hearing the sailor's words, the lame young captain jumped up from the deck like a fish, and with his big eyes open, he lay on the side of the ship and looked at the sail clipper not far away.

This is an extremely fast sailing fast boat, in the white cold fog, several times it can be grazed along the side of the ship, extremely arrogant posture, so that the young man called Courber is a little hateful

"Damn, if it's on land, Lao Tzu can crush you with one finger!" The young man raised his middle finger at the sail warship that flickered by, and scolded angrily in his mouth,

If it weren't for the fact that the volume and tonnage of the merchant ship were heavier than that of the sail clipper, and the speed was at an absolute disadvantage, Coulber would definitely squeeze over without hesitation and crush this little guy who was showing off his might in front of him

"Captain, these guys should be new here, I didn't see them when I passed by here last month, it can't be that our route of travel is exposed, otherwise, why would we encounter the Austens' sail battleship here, this is already the northern sea, and only they use this kind of sail clipper that relies on speed to win, we are smuggling now, if they are caught, I am afraid it will be very troublesome!" said a senior sailor in Kuber's ear with some concern

"What are you afraid of, I believe our route should be safe! The other party just treats us as ordinary fat sheep, and don't forget, we are no ordinary sailors. We are the navy of the Falcon Empire, can we still be afraid of such an opponent?" Kuber said confidently

"My lord, the other party asked us to stop the ship for inspection" From the mast overhead, the lookout's hand shivered with coldness,

"Ignore him, and I won't believe they would dare to attack us!" said Kuber disapprehantly. Before the words fell, a crisp crashing sound came from the left side of the ship,

The heavy merchant ship swayed from side to side on the sea, and Coulber was almost knocked out, and turned around in a fit of rage. I saw the extremely fast sail clipper speeding past like a cluster of arrows, drawing a hateful white arc on the sea, and after squeezing the side of the ship, it quickly separated.

Such a move was clearly intended to use his high-speed impact to force Kurber's bulky merchant ship to stop

"Bastard!" Kuber scolded in exasperation, a murderous glimmer flashing in his bloodshot eyes. His hands clenched heavily on the wooden side of the ship, staring viciously at the thief-like sailing warship, his teeth creaking

"Kurber, let's fight back," a sailor who was a naval cadet next to him said with a look of indignation, "When did our ships of the Falcon Empire Navy suffer such idleness?"

"Nope. Keep going!" said Kulber, his eyes bulging and he gritted his teeth, trying to resist the urge to fight back, knowing that at the slightest order, the other party would discover the secrets of this merchant ship, which was carrying a large number of weapons. There are even 2 old naval Thors in the cabin, the value of which can be described as quite huge,

Courber also didn't know who the mysterious cargo was being shipped to. But the Admiralty's order only said that when he arrived at the port of Austin in the north, someone would naturally come to take over the goods, because it involved a military secret of Thor's level, so if he was intercepted halfway, he could not continue to advance. The person in charge of transporting it must sink all of these classified goods to the bottom of the sea, in other words. People are in the ship, people are dead and the ship sinks...,

As long as you are entangled with a sail clipper, I am afraid that there will be more Austen's sail clippers coming, these sail clippers are not very good at fighting, but in the cold climate of the North Sea region, the advantage of sail clippers is still obvious, Austen's navy likes to use the advantage of speed to squeeze the opponent, they are good at installing hard ironwood ramming angles at the front end of the sail warship, and use the speed to directly disembowel the opponent,

Efficient speed and nimble maneuverability, coupled with the brutal survival odds in the northern seas, make this small fast warship a well-deserved killer warship in this sea area with a small and large capital

"Could this be a test for the Academy?" the student next to him guessed with some uncertainty, "otherwise how would they know our route?"

"Impossible" Courber was silent for a while, and after many years of battlefield, he directly told him that this incident should not be a premeditated thing, but an accident, he shook his head and denied it. Our ship departed directly from the southern port of Tiha, and all the people on board were temporarily ordered by the Admiralty to be assessed, and they only docked twice along the way when they were resupplying in the territory of Ryrdian, not to mention the Austens, even if we were the ones who were responsible for receiving them, did not necessarily know when we would pass through here, not to mention how difficult it was to intercept a ship in the vast sea in a foggy weather like today, needless to say, you also know, unless they sent people to wait here every day, blind cats and dead rats, it was absolutely impossible！”

"Could it be that the Austins knew something and blocked the sea in advance?" the veteran who was the sail operator said coldly, licking his somewhat cracked lips

"Look at their relentless posture, since they collided, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get rid of, and now there is still fog when we are covering, and when the sun dispels the fog, I'm afraid that we will be really dangerous, it's better to take the opportunity to do it! Isn't it just a small sail warship, there are more than 100 of our battle-hardened old brothers on board, it's not as simple as chopping vegetables and cutting melons, and after killing it, throw it into the sea, who knows what happened!"

"That's a good idea!" Courber nodded in agreement, grinning a chilling grin, and shouted to the sailors behind him, "Brothers, there's someone eyeing us, all go to the cabin to get the guys, wait until that bastard comes over again, and we'll fuck it together! Let him have no chance of escaping!"

"Haha, it's long overdue! Or you think our Falcon Navy is a bad breed."

Hearing the words of the temporary captain of the ship, there was a burst of laughter in the group of sailors, all of whom were veterans of the academy who had taken the Admiralty examination this time. The order to fight, like a fire that ignited the blood in their bodies, they received an urgent order from the Admiralty at the end of May that they could graduate early as long as the voyage was completed. entered service in the Imperial Navy,

This is an excellent opportunity, if it is missed, these veterans who have been brave and fearless on the land battlefield may be brushed off more than half of the almost harsh assessment of the Naval Academy because of the difficulty of getting through, and then they will have to leave the Falcon Army. With a full stomach full of depression, take off the military uniform and identity that represents glory, and become an ordinary peasant, such a huge contrast will make even veterans unbearable. Faced with this opportunity, most of the veterans in the academy silently chose to carry out the orders of the Admiralty.

After a period of intensive training, at the end of June, they secretly boarded the smuggling merchant ship that was about to sail from Tiha to the North Sea, under the arrangement of the Admiralty. After nearly half a month of adapting to sailing, they swayed close to the waters of the North Sea, and this was their first naval battle. For these stubborn veterans, there can only be victory and not defeat...,

All the sailors were quickly into action, their well-trained pace and methodical demeanor were enough to stagger most of the soldiers, these were veterans, veterans who had rolled in a sea of corpses and blood. Even if they took off the armor of the army, the instinct to fight had long since melted into their blood.

"Ready to fight, old man! We can fight again!" In front of the weapons warehouse of the merchant ship, an old soldier tearfully held out an infantry crossbow wrapped in oil steps.

The veteran's muttering expression in a low voice, just like treating his own child, the knuckle-like fingers uncovered the oilcloth in circles, revealing the bow handle that had been rubbed many times and the figure was shiny and visible, the veteran's eyes that had been indifferent to death countless times, but at this moment there were tears in his eyes, how long had it been since he had touched these old guys who accompanied him in the northern and southern wars

"One, two, three......"

In a rumbling deck trembling, two small ballistas weighing more than 200 pounds were also lifted out on the shoulders of the sailors with joint efforts, and everyone ran over with hula, and soon formed a circle next to the ballista, this is a senior crossbow rider's lover, at least the crossbow rider thinks so, except for his wife and children, it is this ballista that worries him the most,
