The sun never sets on the new calendar of the Empire, 3rd year, January 23, North Continent, Kroliate Island.

The icy sea breeze blew across the island that stood on the border between the northern continent of the King Continent and the northwest continent, and the heavy snow in winter covered the island with a snow-white coat, but it was of no use to the people who lived on the island except to make their lives more difficult.

"Jack! How much did you catch today? On the yellow mud road of the town, a young man with a sallow complexion but a very sturdy figure wearing several layers of linen clothes, holding a fishing rod in one hand and a few tiny sea fish in the other, was humming an anonymous song on the road in the town. Perhaps because the weather was too cold, and he had no opinion on his winter cotton clothes except for a few torn linen clothes, the young man had to lower his head and tighten his neck, and when a familiar voice sounded in his ears, the young man named Jack slowly raised his head and looked ahead, searching for the direction of the sound just now.

"It's you, Billy!" Eventually, Jack's gaze rested on a young man his age, who was better than Jack in appearance and clothing, but only better. Under the slightly ruddy face, a pair of sharp eyes looked at Jack with endless enthusiasm, and the snow-white sailor suit on his body was set off by the turban on his head, the young man named Billy looked particularly bold: "Didn't you kid just set off for the Northwest Continent with the fleet last week?" Why did you come back so soon? Looking at Billy, Jack first looked surprised, and then said with a look of confusion.

"Don't mention it!" Billy said with a sad face: "I thought that I would become a sailor with some skills in my hands and feet, and go to sea with that merchant's fleet to see the world outside, but I didn't imagine that employer was so unlucky!" I had not been out to sea for a few days when I encountered a group of pirates, not only were the goods and ships robbed, but even the people were left as hostages, and when I was locked up on the pirate ship, I also learned from the pirates that if the pirate captain sent to the merchant's house to collect the ransom did not get the ransom back, it is estimated that the merchant would be torn up! ”

"Ahh So Billy, how did you get back? Jack looked at Billy and said curiously, "How did you escape from that ship back to Kroliate Island?" ”

"Oh, actually, it's nothing, the pirates seem to be just looking for money, and have no interest in us sailors who don't have oil and water, so they sent me and a few other sailors who survived the battle to a small boat, gave me some rations and a bucket of fresh water, and left with the merchant ship."

"You're so lucky............. Billy, what did you just say? You said you also took part in the battle! Jack, who suddenly reacted, exclaimed loudly.

"Ha Luha, don't count, the sailors who came back to Croliber with me are the ones who are really good at fighting on the deck with weapons in hand, I am just a handyman, and I am only controlling the sails when fighting............ Don't talk about that, Jack, haven't you always wanted to go out into the world, but you couldn't do it because of the injury on your shoulder? Some of the sailors I brought back this time are veteran sailors who have traveled all the seas in the west, north and northwest, and the rumors he brought back are estimated to make you feel good for your ears! ”

"Really! That's a great deal, will they eat grilled fish? I'd like to meet these fish ............."

"Oops! They can eat everything, and it is said that one of them even ate a large shark! Hurry up, I heard they're drinking in the biggest tavern on the edge of the harbor and talking about the rumors outside! If you're late, you won't be able to hear the highlights! Come with me! Billy took Jack's hand in one hand and ran with Jack in the direction of the town's port area, if Jack hadn't tied the hemp rope with the fish's mouth around his waist before this, otherwise the string of fish would have fallen to the ground under Billy's pull just now.

Following Billy's steps, Jack finally came to the port area, and followed Jack into a slightly dilapidated but very clean bar, this time, on the counter of the bar were sitting several middle-aged men dressed in Billy's sailor suits, they were sipping rum from their glasses, and beside them, including the barkeeper waiter, many townspeople, and even the mayor of this town pricked up their ears beside them, quietly waiting for these middle-aged sailors to speak.

"It's good to catch up! I heard that this time they are going to talk about the ......... of the Northwest Continent."

"Boom!" A middle-aged man who looked like these heads suddenly slammed his wine glass on the table, burped, took a deep breath, and said to everyone present in a calm tone: "That happened when we went to the Northwest Continent in July last year, when we and our employer's fleet were sailing on the Northwest Continent navigation line, although we had two small warships in our fleet at that time to escort us, but unfortunately, we encountered a more powerful group of pirates, they had five ships, The ship is full of battle-hardened pirates, and war is on the verge of breaking out as they want us to come and fire powerful ballistas. But none of our fleets could have looked up to this battle, for we believed that even our sailors, if they were brave, would not have been able to defeat the pirates in front of them. But that's when a miracle happened! In the east of our fleet, a large fleet suddenly appeared, and the most conspicuous thing was the 3 lion flags hanging on the fleet, their appearance made those pirates who were going to rush to us all turn around and retreat to the north, but the fleet that suddenly appeared was in hot pursuit, and then, we saw the most ridiculous naval battle we have ever seen, the fleet that suddenly appeared when approaching the pirates, instantly fired countless arrows and giant guns, directly sinking a pirate ship! Oh my God! That's a Hawk ................"

"Uncle, the 3 lion flags you are talking about, is it a flag with 3 lions painted on a red background?" The middle-aged sailor's words were suddenly interrupted by a child's voice from outside the door, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and found that it was from the mouth of a 5-year-old child standing at the door of the bar. ”

"Because there is a fleet coming to the harbor at sea, and the pattern on their sails is very similar to what you said, uncle."

"What!" The middle-aged man was startled at first, and then hurriedly probed out, and then, everyone present heard the middle-aged sailor's exclamation: "That's!" The sun never sets on the Empire's North Sea Fleet! ”
