"Measure value."
The result of disposing of prisoners depends on the value itself.
The captain couldn't help thinking of his wife, two children, and large
farmland at the far end of the Western Sea. If he is gone, these things
will...
Be occupied by others!
That was a scene he never wanted to see.
"As a member of Saint Wing Country, you are working for the mainlanders here?"
"Efficiency? Do you treat mercenaries as your own courtiers?" Olena sneered,
"Next, you don't want to say, because everyone is an Oceanic country, will you
give you a hand? At sea, don’t you treat the ships of the Holy Wing Islands as
your own people?"
"That was done by the pirates..." In the middle of the story, Ferryn could not
go on. The hands-on were indeed the hands of the pirates, but Natatian did not
do anything less about providing route information and even sending officers
to guide operations. .
Under the recommendation, the novel app I'm using recently,
[\Mic\Mic\Reading\app\\] Both Android and iPhone support!
For competition in maritime trade, open and secret struggles among ocean
countries have become increasingly fierce.
This is no secret in the eyes of the nobles.
"Well... what do you want to ask?"
Filin comforted himself silently. He was not disloyal to his Majesty, but was
forced by the situation, not to mention that he had tried his best to deal
with it.
Who made it too savage here, and simply ignored the rules of the Ocean Region.
"Let's talk about your fleet first, the content is naturally the more detailed
the better." Olena said in time.
This is a new task given to her by Xia Fan.
And there is also an additional honorarium.
Since learning about Chi's treatment, she has hinted to Xia Fan that she can
sing in a roundabout way. Unfortunately, the latter did not agree with her
self-recommendation, but promised to consider adding some extra tasks for her
in the future. Although the goal has not been achieved, she is not without
gain.
Now Olena has become more aware of the habits of this treacherous Central
Plains.
He appreciates those who actively negotiate more than passive acceptance; and
as long as he says yes, he rarely fails to speak.
This time the interrogation of Captain Nathalie is one of the results of the
negotiations.
She didn't mind seeing the imperial people in embarrassment.
And also to save the family, it is much safer to interrogate the prisoners
than to risk the whereabouts of the Holy Grail.
"These three ships are the capital ships of the Fourth Fleet. The main task of
going to the Western Seas is to hunt down the elves that escaped. The
commander of the fleet is the Governor of the Western Seas, Lord Tural Nath,
who is fighting with you on the ship. If you kill him, the empire will
definitely not give up. Although it is far from the ocean area, Natatium does
not lack strong ships and guns... If you leave me to explain, the adults
refuse to surrender and fight bravely. Death, things may still have a chance
to turn around, after all, sacrifice on the battlefield is inevitable..."
The captain recounted the fleet information roughly, and added his own hint.
Even if the former did not ask him, those first mates and helmsmen who were
dragged out could say nothing about it. Only by increasing his weight can he
hope to avoid the old path of his colleagues.
"That's it? Nothing else?" Olena raised her eyebrows.
"Uh...I usually stay in the ocean area. This time I came to the West Sea to
act on orders. This is the first time I have cooperated with the Governor. I
don't know much about things here." Ferryn racked his brains, "Yes. Now... the
Governor-sama also established a docking base on an island not far from the
mainland. The local kingdom is called Dongsheng. I heard the Governor
mentioned that if the empire intends to open up the mainland, it can be used
as a springboard."
It turned out that Natartin had stretched her hand to such a far place, Olena
thought to herself, this is a valuable piece of information. After all, other
kingdoms are only at the stage of sending ambassadors, and the empire is
already building forward ports.
"So..." she lowered her voice, "Tural is also for the Holy Grail?"
The captain's expression couldn't help condensing, obviously this was not the
topic he wanted to talk about. But under the aggressive gaze, he could only
slightly nod his head, "I don't know much about it, but I heard from the
wizard that the Holy Grail is not a gift unique to Oceania. It may appear in
any corner of the world. The twilight seas of the mainland and the south, or
other areas that we don't know yet, include... even the black barrier area."
"Black barrier area? What is that?" Olena frowned.
This is considered a secret, but it is not that important. Ferrynka decided to
speak out after weighing the pros and cons. The upper layers of the Holy Wing
Islands have heard of this in all likelihood, but the woman in front of them
doesn’t know, “The border of the world, the end of the sea, or the land of
nothingness is fine. Anyway, that area is very weird, I I haven't been there
in person, but someone in the fleet has approached the black barrier area,
saying that the sea there tends to be static, and the closer it is to the end,
the slower it is. After crossing the black barrier, there is nothing, as if
the earth is empty. same."
"How large is it?" The Dragon Girl asked subconsciously, "Has anyone been in?"
"Water can't get in, and humans can't do it. Of course...it may have a special
channel. As for the scope..." Fellington paused, "Boundless."
"How is it possible?" Olena immediately questioned, "The world is round. As
long as you follow one direction, you can naturally find its boundary."
"I understand this naturally." The captain sighed, "But the man said that no
matter how far the exploratory team sent out, they could not find the place
where the black barriers were gathered, and at the same time they could not
return to the original point, so some people called it the sea. The end of the
world, not just a barrier or something."
This is a contradiction, Olena perceives. If it is truly endless, there should
be many ships discovering its existence. The Holy Wing Islands is also one of
the frequent visitors to explore the oceans, and we shouldn't miss these
strange things.
"The black barrier you are talking about...Which sea area is it?"
"In the permafrost sea area, only the Imperial Navy has the courage to go deep
into that polar region." The captain said proudly.
This is a piece of information that sounds interesting but of little use.
Olina lifted one leg. The only thing that can be learned from it is that in
order to get in touch with the Holy Grail, the Kingdom of Natatine has
invested much more energy than other competitors.
There shouldn’t be much other information to understand.
The other party is just an ordinary person, not a Natantin nobleman.
As far as the value of intelligence is concerned, this person is obviously
inferior to the dead Governor of the West Sea. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Thinking of this, Olena asked the last question, which was also the key to Xia
Fan’s commission, “As you can see, Jinxia City does not have a fleet in the
traditional sense. The rulers here hope to change this. They have the
technology and the resources. , But lacks some long-distance sea
experience..."
The captain's heart shuddered, and he instantly understood the meaning of the
other party's words.
"This is absolutely not possible. I cannot train an army for the imperial
competitors. If the news goes back to Silisti, my family will be sent to the
gallows!"
"You can even train pirates, but you can't accept employment from the mainland
kingdom?" Olena shrugged, "First, declare that this job is paid, and after
passing on your experience, your war crimes can be pardoned. Jinxia City will
not stop you wherever you want to go."
"I can't give this risk to my family..." Ferryn said with a fist.
"Really?" Olena suddenly remembered what happened to her in the dungeon of
Shangyuan City. What did the treacherous Central Plains do? "Then Mr. Captain,
goodbye..." She stood up regretfully, turned and walked out of the cell.
"Wait, wait!" Ferryn hurriedly stopped her.
"Huh?" Olena stopped. "You need to know that your value is that you are a
captain, but not anymore."
"Ahem, I mean, the experience of sailing is so varied and countless, and it is
difficult for the captain to keep all of them in his mind. So in order to
avoid forgetting, everyone will write these experiences in diaries or make
manual records. ... As for them to be captured with the ship, it is by no
means the captain's intention, and it does not mean that the captain has
surrendered to the enemy. Do you understand what I mean?" Ferryn said
cautiously.
"That's it." Olena raised her mouth slightly, "...I will pass your original
words to the relevant person in charge."
