Chapter 740: end of the world

Windless land, perpetually frozen sea.

This is the twenty-fifth day of the Fengsong tree boat sailing here.

Behind it was towing eight new Silisti warships. Compared with the traditional

first-class sailing ships, they were obviously smaller in size, but because of

the removal of the masts on the deck, they were replaced by special watch

towers. , The outline appears more solid.

Suddenly, a harsh hum came from the fleet—

Accompanied by the violent rubbing sound, a watchtower quickly tilted and

pressed down the deck like a hill.

The blast of snowflakes immediately covered the entire surface of the ship,

just like billowing smoke when the station was damaged. It does not have the

high temperature of burning skin and flesh, but it can be fatal but not bad at

all.

The fleet commander Jayne Van Ritter put down the look-out mirror and sighed

insignificantly.

Although the specific situation on the ship is not clear, the sailors and

generals who stayed on the watchtower must be doomed.

This is the third warship that has a problem.

The temperature of the permafrost sea often drops below the freezing point,

and he can't tell how cold it is. At such a temperature, the metal will become

brittle, and it seems to be suffering from a cold disease. Although the main

body of the new generation of warships is still made of wood, the outer armor

and towers are replaced with iron materials. This method that is sufficient to

give them an advantage in future naval battles has become deadly after

entering the permafrost. hurt.

The brave warrior did not die on the battlefield, but died in this terribly

silent sea, his heart is not heavy.

As the supreme commander, he must fulfill his mission and cannot show any

negative emotions on his face.

There is no doubt that this is a place cursed by demons.

Any captain who has been in the permafrost will think so.

There is endless floating ice floating on the sea forever. They collide and

split like big mouths that open and close. Ships will sink deeply into them

and become statues of solid ice on the sea. The next time I get out of trouble

may be a few months, or even a few years. Along the way, he had seen several

such ships, they were still being slowly moved by the waves, but there was no

one on them, just like ghost ships.

Secondly, there is almost no wind here, and the boundary between it and the

windy area is variable, and sometimes it can be nearly a thousand miles away,

which makes it extremely difficult for the sailing ship to get out of trouble.

In the past, every step in the exploration of the permafrost sea cost a lot of

money, and it even allowed the nations of the sea of tranquility to put

aside their disputes and open up this place together. If it weren't for the

Holy Grail that might appear on this piece of ice, no one would want to get

close here at all.

Compared with ordinary ships, the tree boat is undoubtedly the perfect

exploration tool.

It can withstand extremely low temperatures, can move freely without the need

for wind, and can carry a large amount of supplies at a time, which is

comparable to a sea replenishment base.

In the eyes of the empire, it is simply the greatest waste that the elves

gather many tree boats together and do not go anywhere.

Now that the World Island has been occupied by Natantin, they are clearly at

the forefront of the nations in exploring the end of the sea.

"Master General, the black barrier area has appeared, just in the direction of

Shuzhou at 11 o'clock!" The first officer suddenly reminded.

Jayne lifted his spirits and raised his look-glass again.

I saw an abnormal black shadow in the grayish-white horizon. It floats in the

air like a mist, looming. Of course, water vapor may also have a similar

effect. The key to distinguishing black barriers lies in ocean waves. He

noticed that the waves in that area suddenly stagnated as they rolled forward,

as if they had encountered an invisible wall.

Make no mistake, there is the end of the permafrost sea.

Jayne immediately ordered, "The alarm sounded and the fleet slowed down and

turned left! At the same time, inform Your Excellency Aurora!"

"Yes!"

With the sound of a series of strong horns, the Fengge squeezed through the

layers of ice and slowly approached the boundary area.

Many sailors ran up to the tree boat pier and looked at the destination of the

trip curiously-Jayne had visited the permafrost sea more than once, but for

the Imperial Navy, it was the first time that many people saw this incredible

spectacle. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Although the weather was quite bad and there were many casualties along the

way, his subordinates are elites in the empire, and they still maintain

considerable vitality and fighting spirit at the moment.

"Why, are we there yet?" At this moment, a woman in a mink coat walked into

the command room.

Her red hair is scorching eyes more than flames, and her long, curly eyelashes

fill her crescent-like eyes with alluring charm. And this is also a portrayal

of her herself—others are trying to resist the cold that penetrated the coat,

but she left her black jacket open, and the leather jacket on the outside

seemed to be just decoration, exuding a lazy and charming atmosphere. .

Jayne didn't dare to look at each other presumptuously.

He knows what is behind this randomness-only if the strength is strong enough,

can he ignore the damage of the cold and fire. Even if they are of the same

high blood clan, Duke Aurora is different from him, not to mention that this

action is fully directed by her, and behind her is the emperor.

"Yes, it used to take three to four days to fix the ship and find a place

where the ice is thicker to build a stronghold. But this time there is a tree

boat on the scene. It doesn't have to be as troublesome as in the past.

Research can start at any time." He nodded to the other side. head.

The woman replied with a satisfied smile, "Very good. Tell the boat behind it

to come over, it's time for them to come in handy."

"Your Excellency... can you tell me now, is the true purpose of the fleet

going deep into the permafrost sea this time?"

He knew that this trip was not ordinary. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

For example, the Wind Song left the harbor at night, and stayed in the open

sea for about a week, waiting for a new warship to meet with it before it

officially headed north. In addition, Natantin always hires a few dragonborns

to accompany them. After all, their abilities are really useful in the

perpetual frozen sea. Dragon's breath can also relieve the trouble caused by

frost, but this time, they even have a dragonborn. Did not bring.

Judging from the itinerary, the entire fleet is under strict confidentiality

measures. It seems that His Majesty does not want anyone to know that Natattin

is about to launch a new study of the black barrier area.

He was transferred to act as a commander, and only emphasized obeying the

Duke's orders, and did not explain the rest.

Therefore, Jayne Van Ritter was quite curious. The reason why the upper layers

pulled the new imperial warships here—they rely on steam-driven wing wheels,

which can indeed travel through windless areas, but the canoe can also do

this. And it can be better. The permafrost does not need to fight the enemy,

these warships can be said to be useless.

"Of course. But even if I don't say it, you will know right away." Aurora

patted him on the shoulder, "We are going to break through the black barrier

and head to the other side of this world."
