Hu——

　　Hu——

　　 Feather wings engulfed the airflow and swept the clouds and mist. The two eagles on the indigenous pirate side and the two formations on the Aiwen side, a total of six iron feathered frigate birds, broke through the mist and flew over the “Conch”.

　　 Almost at the same time, the "air forces" of both sides entered the arena collectively!

　　 Before, there was white mist blocking the line of sight. With the sharp gaze of "Eagle Warrior" Karawusu did not notice that in addition to his own giant eagle, there were six unusually huge frigate birds in the sky!

　　Looking at their appearance, they are obviously the result of some witchcraft transformation. Although they are slightly smaller than their own McKinley Condor, the total of six should not be underestimated.

　　唳!

　　喳喳喳...

　　 There is no need for the owner's continued command. The "air forces" entering the arena from both sides have spontaneously tangled together, circling and flapping over the "Conch". Broken feathers and blood fall from time to time in the birdsong.

　　 Some of them belonged to the McKinley Condor, and some belonged to the frigate bird... the battle situation was evenly matched, and even the giant eagle was slightly at a disadvantage.

　　 The last foreign aid was offset, and Karawusu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

　　 suddenly.

　　 Boom——! ! !

　　 A loud noise from a distance made his heart chuckle again, and the icy chill penetrated into his bones!

　　At this time, the sea seemed to be shaking.

　　 A **** phantom that barely maintained the shape of an eagle cut through the mist, and slammed into his body under the guidance of the blood of the same race, along with the wizard's last command: "Vengeance!!!"

　　 "Hahaha, the pirate ship’s ammunition compartment has exploded! The ‘scorching bomb’ really works!"

　　 An excited shout from a young voice came from the ship.

　　 Then came the collective cheers of the sailors.

　　 "Long live!"

　　"....."

　　 "Blow up?!!!"

　　I couldn't even care about being on the battlefield. The young first officer suddenly turned and looked in the direction of the "Eagle Spirit". At this moment, his eyes seemed to penetrate the mist.

He saw the pirate ship that was slowly overturning with the burning fire, the wizard Aklava who was buried with the pirate ship on the seabed, the last tribe recognized by the spirit of the eagle who could not escape, and he also saw his destruction. dream...

"nothing left!"

　　 "Vengeance!!!" The wizard's command took root in his heart, and it instantly grew into an evil tree full of thorns and venom.

　　 Karawusu's eyes turned red in an instant, and the black tattoo on her body was constantly twisting as if she was about to come alive.

　　 At this moment, what are the side effects of overuse of abilities, what is the beloved giant eagle that is already at a disadvantage, what is in a dangerous situation where the enemy is on all sides... everything is no longer important.

　　 The bone daggers in his hand crossed across the shoulder bones on both sides of his back, and the blood burst!

　　 stab!

　　 A pair of huge red and yellow deformed wings tore the flesh and stretched out, and the strong wind pressure blew all the sailors near him.

　　 There is no doubt that he... is out of control!

　　 The loss of control of the "Eagle Warrior" is obviously more terrifying than the extraordinary ones in the path of the knight.

　　 The face that was originally handsome from the eyes of the natives gradually deformed and elongated into a half-human, half-eagle head. The alienated joint of the right foot reflexed and turned into an eagle claw.

　　 There are hollow bones under the ribs that pierce through the flesh and grow out like deformed hyperplastic tissue, strange and disgusting.

　　 In a very short time, he has become a monster, like a combination of half an eagle and half a person!

　　 Without knowing anything, withdrawing his gaze into the distance, the young "True Eagle Warrior" turned and glared at the "culprit" who caused all this: the captain of this navy warship!

　　唳——

　　 "Eagleman" made a hoarse, high-pitched eagle cry, and raised his arms holding a bone dagger...

boom--

boom! boom!

　　 fired three shots in a row, and Ivan lightly blew the gunpowder that did not exist in the muzzle of the "thorn gold rose", and spit out: "Finish work!"

　　嘭——

　　 The "Eagleman" with a big hole in his chest collapsed into the ground with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

　　 But, how can you be allowed to pose for memory killing on the battlefield?

Karawusu was not sniped in the first cross-sea raid because Ivan was caught by the poisonous bee. After temporarily leaving the battle group and re-distinguishing from Ivan, his life was actually beyond his control. .

　　'S "transformation" effort has been seized by Ivan to cut off the gun, and he also rewarded the two giant eagles that had been wounded in the air battle with a bullet each, and sent them to reunite with their master.

　　 "Milan, lift the fog!"

　　 Actually, both Aiwen and Milan were ready to face a formal wizard at first, but they benefited from the smooth execution of the battle plan.

　　 Except for accidentally being intruded by this native extraordinary person. They didn't face the possible weird methods of the native wizard from beginning to end, huh...in fact, they didn't want to see it at all.

　　 After the pirate ship explosion, the number of pirates "fortunately" surviving was extremely small, but then they were culled one by one by sailors who arrived in long boats.

　　Because the ships of this era are all wooden, they have good sink resistance.

　　 Although the pirate ship was left with a large piece of charred wreck because of the ammunition exploded, it was still firmly floating on the sea until the "Conch" approached.

When 　　 sent sailors to board the wreck for inspection, no accident happened. However, the trophies collected are not unexpected and not much.

　　 A big bang almost turned everything into nothing!

　　 Regarding this, Ivan doesn’t feel distressed either. After all, it’s already a battle with zero casualties. What else can I expect?

　　 "Your Captain, can this work?"

　　 Fleck took the lead to climb to the wreckage of the pirate ship in spite of the danger and searched for all the weapons, and was also the last one to return. He brought back a piece of the scorched main sail of the pirate ship, with part of an abstract silver eagle still remaining on the black sail.

　　 is the place where the [Guardian of the Eagle Soul] held by the indigenous wizard Aklava once lived.

　　 "Thank you, Flake!" Encouraging the very positive and motivated recruits, Ivan handed the canvas to Milan. Although the battle has been won, he is most concerned about the life and death of the wizard Aklava as the captain of the pirate.

　　 After a while, Milan, who used canvas as a medium for divination, opened his eyes again and said with a smile:

　　 "Good luck, he should have been directly affected by the big explosion when the ammunition depot exploded, confirm the kill!"

　　 "Not bad! Not bad! I won the first battle, today I have an extra meal!"

　　 "Long live the captain!"

　　 Amidst the cheers of the crew, Irvine has turned around and returned to the captain's room with Milan, took out a very old animal skin from his pocket, and gently rubbed it in his hand:

　　 "The "Eagle Warrior Training Method" harvest is pretty good!"

　　 This is the battle product obtained from the young warrior who broke into the "Conch", because the mysterious source of this world all comes from the "spiritual sun", although the continents are blocked by the vast sea, but the extraordinary writings are similar.

　　 This "Eagle Warrior Training Method" is also written in a variant of "spiritual text".

　　The physical training and the taming of the giant eagle are very primitive, and I don’t see it in his eyes. However, the method of drawing on the power of animal spirits with the help of tattoos impresses Aiwen very much.

　　 Although it seems to have some flaws, it may not be a useful supplement for the extraordinary knight.

　　I just discussed the possible application of this "Eagle Warrior Training Method" with Milan, who is also a wizard, and the door of the captain's room was knocked.

　　咚..咚..咚..

"Come in."

　　 "Report to the Captain, our ammunition reserves are already less than half, do you think?"

　　 At this time, the first mate Borg, who was in charge of the ship's logistics, knocked on the door and came in and reported the loss of supplies after the battle. Everything else is fine, but today's practice of dumping ammunition as much as possible has already made ammunition reserves in a hurry and can no longer support another battle at the same level.

　　 After listening to the report of the chief mate, Ivan also felt that this problem must be resolved as soon as possible, so he turned his attention to Milan:

　　 "Mr. Navigator, I remember that the naval base closest to our location is on St. Martin, right?"

　　 Saint Martin.

　　 is a naval base controlled by the Tulip Principality in the Alliance.

　　 In fact, the name "Tulip League" came from this. Although it is only a principality, it has a very special status in the league.

　　Because it is called the "Tulip Principality", it is better to call it the "Tulip Religious Country". As the headquarters of the Black Iron Cross Church of the common belief of all countries of the alliance, the pope automatically crowned "The Tulip Grand Duke~lightnovelpub.net~ as both a herder of faith and a secular ruler.

　　 But the base ownership is temporarily put aside.

　　Because the ships of this era are all wood, sailing for a long time at sea, the hull continues to be corroded by sea water and parasites, and the underwater parts are easily corroded. The baptism of the storm and the force of the artillery will also loosen the structural frame of the warship, so the ship must be docked at the dock regularly for overhaul.

　　 Otherwise, let the wood loose and corrode, and the life of the whole ship will be reduced. Eventually, it may not be able to withstand the test of the storm, and it may capsize during a long voyage.

　　 On the other hand, if a wooden sailboat is carefully constructed and regularly maintained, it can generally survive 50 years easily.

　　 Therefore, for a fleet, it is very important to have a sufficient number of dry docks for regular maintenance of its warships.

　　The naval bases of various countries are often built with docks as the core, so that the base can provide a safe berth for the fleet, and provide rest and medical facilities for seafarers.

　　The navy can also obtain canvas, rigging, decks, masts, guns, ammunition, food, fresh water and personnel in the naval base, and it can maintain its full combat effectiveness even if it is far away from the mainland.

　　 Therefore, within the territorial waters of the Tulip Alliance, along the main routes, there are large and small naval bases like a bead chain, which are operated by various countries but for common use within the alliance.

　　While reducing operating costs, it has also greatly expanded the combat radius of the alliance’s internal navy, and of course this naval base on St. Maarten is the same.

　　 Although the "Conch" belongs to the Kingdom of Falitis, it is also eligible to use it!
