Chapter 059: Man and Nature and Man
"On August 24, 1503 in the Lunar Calendar, the East China Sea, the route from Rogue Town to the Kingdom of Victoria.
Just like the previous three days, the weather is still not conducive to sailing.
For some reason, the sea routes, which have always been clear, were covered with dark clouds, and the cold sea breeze blew on people's faces like a knife, and the navigators on board could not explain this strange weather at all..."
In the cabin, Chloe was sitting upright at a desk, using a quill pen to record the day's sailing in a logbook.
Chloe is a very thoughtful person, but he will record in his journal any small things that happen in his life that may not seem special to others, not to mention the strange weather these days.
And this habit of his also began after becoming a navy.
Because in the old days, he didn't dare to use words to record any information - in order to avoid revealing any information about himself.
Chloe didn't like this kind of seafaring life, and running around the sea all day was not the decent life he wanted.
But he has no choice, since he has tied himself to the ship of this naval lieutenant, and wants to leave, I am afraid it will not be so simple.
But the only thing that makes Chloe happy is that this Major Hailan is indeed fulfilling his original promise - to make Chloe live as decently as possible.
The warship rose and fell in the wind and waves, and it was not only the sailors and navigators who were busy outside, but also Major Hailan and Second Lieutenant Wagner.
Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness, and happiness is compared.
In this way, Chloe's psychology is still a little more comfortable.
Chloe wouldn't take the initiative to step out of the cabin and deliberately curry favor with Hailan by helping the voyage, because he knew that his value to Hailan was not here.
It's not terrible for a person to be taken advantage of, but it's terrible that others are too lazy to take advantage of you.
Chloe knew very well that as long as he could maintain his current value and continue to carry it forward, then as long as this Major Hailan did not fall, his future would only be bright.
……
"Sir, this wind and waves are too big, I'm afraid that if we continue to sail, our warship will be overturned by the waves!"
Ensign Wagner put his left arm across his forehead, squinted his eyes, and shouted loudly into Hailan's ear.
The sound comes from the vibration of the medium, and the sound that travels in the air on a normal day can be transmitted at a very limited distance in the face of today's gales.
Hai Lan also opened her throat and shouted: "You, a native of the East China Sea, don't you have the slightest experience in fighting this kind of storm?" ”
"Never met, never met!"
Ensign Wagner was shirtless and without the image of an ensign in the Navy, and in such an extreme climate, no one could care about his own image.
Unlike Bermeer, who had already been promoted to colonel in Rogue Town, Wagner was now a branch lieutenant.
Because he chose differently from Bermel.
Wagner wanted to stay with Bermel, but since meeting Chief Hailan, he felt that his life quest had gradually changed.
This Major Hailan, who was specially dispatched to the East China Sea by the headquarters, fought bravely, sympathized with his subordinates, and was extremely active in fighting the pirates.
This is the image that he thinks the navy should have.
Such a chief is worthy of his respect.
Unlike Chloe, who stayed by Hailan's side for the sake of his own future, Wagner wanted to follow Hailan's side from the bottom of his heart.
As for Bermel...
Fortunately... He has never confessed, and he has never expressed his admiration for her.
Although, with Bermel's cleverness, maybe she would have seen it a long time ago.
But Bermel's independence is too strong, and perhaps he will not lead to anything if he persists.
It's better to follow Chief Hailan to realize the ideals of both sides.
That's how Wagner consoled himself.
Click!
There was a flash of thunder in the clouds, as if nature was venting its relentless fury.
A huge wave like a hill rose from the ground and slapped towards Hailan's warship.
Lanjiao. Siege artillery!
Hai Lan jumped up from the warship, and the cyan blue vacuum chopping wave formed a spiral blue energy shock wave above his legs, carrying an unstoppable momentum, and blasted towards the monstrous waves that ordinary people could only look up to.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble...
One after another "siege artillery" flew towards the huge waves in Hailan's footsteps, erupting into a series of deafening roars.
Finally, the water drops pierced through the stones, and the bombardment collapsed.
The wave, which was enough to sweep away all the masts on the warship, shattered in half in half, making way for the advancing warship.
The rattling sea water mixed with the rain poured on the warship, and Hailan, who had already been drenched by the heavy rain, no longer minded the sea water at all.
He stood like a stone statue in the bow of the ship, unmoved by the wind and rain.
Hailan's determined image gave the soldiers on deck great confidence.
"Rest assured, with Chief Hailan opening the way for the warship, no huge wave can stop our progress, everyone work harder and try to rush over!"
Wagner boosted morale and took the lead in pulling the sails.
But in the face of the forces of nature, no matter how high the morale of man is, it still seems extremely small and powerless.
The Great Waves are no more.
But that doesn't mean the blockade is gone.
On the boundless, turbulent sea, there was a dark green weird wind.
Click!
Without warning, the warship's mainmast suddenly snapped under the incredible gaze of everyone.
The violent shaking shook even Chloe out.
"The mast is broken? It's impossible!
How could the mast break before the person was blown away?
This isn't an old pirate ship, it's a warship! ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, but after the mast broke, the wind and waves at sea seem to have become a little smaller.
"Dark green winds? Which of you has seen it? ”
Hailan frowned and asked the soldiers on the deck.
Everyone, including Chloe and Wagner, was full of confusion and kept shaking their heads.
"Let's go back."
In the eyes of everyone's surprise and disappointment, Hailan finally gave the order to return.
The good news is that there is no need to risk your life to compete with nature; Disappointingly, even with the leadership of Chief Hailan, everyone was ultimately defeated by the forces of nature.
"Go back, you shouldn't be involved in this."
Above the dark clouds, a man who hides himself in his hood is talking to himself.
But just when he thought it was over, his attention was drawn to Hailan again.
"Chloe, get me a spare compass."
Chloe didn't say much, turned and went into the cabin.
Instead, Wagner asked curiously, "Sir, what do you want a compass for?" ”
Hai Lan turned to look at the sea in the distance: "The journey of the warship can only go here, and I will go by myself on the next road!" ”
