The fleet will sail in public waters for the first two days and won't find anything...
Marlowe and Melsusa had already prepared themselves for the possibility of not finding anything, but they encountered quite a few merchant ships. Even experienced merchants were so frightened by the sight of such a battleship formation that they dared not speak.
Every time the Dragon Knight went up to him and asked him questions, he would answer them and then run away.
Don't stop for a minute!
This situation continued until the fourth day when the fleet entered the deep sea route and began to decrease. On the other hand, letters kept coming in reporting that the fleet departing from Lugang had already entered the deep sea area.
A route that very few caravans travel.
In fact, it can no longer be considered a shipping route, but there are still marks on the map because explorers and armies have visited these places, but very rarely!
A lot of food needs to be prepared for each long voyage, so unless there are special circumstances, general training will not go too far... and one of the reasons for going too far is to allow the troops to adapt to the environment at sea.
Now the Dragon Knights can hardly bear it anymore.
During this day, Melsusa came to see him many times and said that there was vomiting among the Dragon Knights. There were only a few people, mainly dragons!
"Is it serious?" Sean asked.
"My soldiers have all undergone various trainings. A slight change in the environment won't have much impact. I just need them to adapt. But I didn't expect the impact on the flying dragons to be so serious." Melsusa looked at the people standing next to Sean.
Almost everyone who could be named was in the cabin studying problems in the nearby waters, but he came here to report these things.
No matter what, Melsusa is also one of the commanders of the Royal Guard, and the largest Dragon Knight Regiment in the entire Jagun is under her jurisdiction...but she has to say this when everyone is discussing how to deal with pirates.
This made Melsusa feel very uncomfortable!
"I trust your soldiers, but those dragons..."
Sean looked at the people behind him, wondering if they could come up with a good solution.
"Maybe we can try using potions, just like you did on the first day, but I don't have that many potions here right now. Is Feilong's condition very serious?" Lucille suddenly said.
"A few seemed to be dying, but not many. I think it was from seasickness."
"That's easy! You let me... you can ask His Royal Highness to think of a solution. Maybe we can alleviate the situation of these flying dragons. The rest is just waiting for them to slowly adapt. Perhaps taking them on a flight over the sea for a while and observing the surrounding environment more will be much better."
Was Lucille planning to call herself 'little apprentice'?
Because the naval commander was present, he immediately changed the address. This was the first time he heard her call him Your Highness.
Rare~rare!
But then again, Lucille has been traveling with magical beasts all the time, so she should have some understanding of their living habits.
"Your Highness, do you have a solution?"
"Probably." When Lucille mentioned the potion, she knew that she wanted to use alchemy to make the potion. Although she didn't have the materials at the moment, she had the alchemist's stone.
This thing is like a bug. It can ignore the requirement of equivalent exchange and perform alchemy, so the potion is not a problem at all.
"I'll take care of this matter. Marlowe, you'll be responsible for organizing the fleet and contacting the troops in Lugang."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Sean began giving orders.
Now we have entered the deep sea area and are getting further and further away from the mainland. We must be prepared to deal with crises at any time.
"As for Melsuza, you await my news... Just follow Lucille's instructions and take your dragons out for more outings during the day. The weather at sea is unpredictable, so you need to serve as a pathfinder for the entire fleet."
"I understand, Your Highness."
Just as several people were discussing in the cabin, a soldier ran down from the deck to report.
"Your Highness, General... a large number of seagulls were spotted circling the fleet's flagpole."
Sean was stunned for a moment.
Some of them didn't understand what this report meant, so they turned around and looked at General Malo behind them.
"The storm is coming!!"
…………………………
The weather at sea is more unpredictable than in the desert.
Sean remembered hearing those ministers say these words in the hall, and now it seems to have come true.
After just a few days of sunny days, a storm is coming.
The impact of a storm at sea is greater than that on land, so precautions need to be taken in advance. All fleets will no longer be arranged in a "human" shape but will be close to each other. When necessary, they will use iron chains to pull each other to prevent being overturned by the waves. Spears will also be dropped, and the pterodactyls must be tied up in advance.
Before all the preparations were completed, the sky had already darkened and the sea began to surge violently.
Even the largest ship Sean was on couldn't withstand the pounding of the waves and began to shake...
"Did you often encounter the same situation when you were training at sea before?" Sean asked Marlow who was standing next to him while sitting on a rickety chair in the cabin.
"It happens occasionally. The Imperial Navy should be familiar with combat in all environments and be able to survive even in storms." Marlowe replied.
That's not bad.
At least it won't cause too much damage to the entire army except for the flying dragon.
"Your Highness, it's best not to go on deck at night. It's too dark up there. If you accidentally fall into the sea, I can't face you even if I sacrifice my entire navy."
"Don't worry, I'll be with a few high-level wizards."
Marlowe also gave a special reminder and looked at the witches behind Sean.
I had heard the name Mirke many years ago... She was a witch among the former court wizards. She was so powerful that she had few rivals even among the current court wizards. Although I didn't know the other two, judging from their demeanor, they were definitely not inferior to Mirke. I was just being too suspicious.
"Then Your Highness should rest early. The journey may still take a few days. Just wait until we get close to the pirates' island!" After saying that, he left the cabin.
Sean, Frelia and a few others were left behind again.
"This naval commander has some awareness of how to deal with situations at sea."
"You are from the Imperial Navy after all. How come you don't trust our country's navy?" Sean looked at Lucille who asked the question.
"It's not that I don't believe it, I just trust myself more." He murmured.
"The weather at sea is unpredictable. It's best to take care of yourself and don't collapse before finding the pirates."
He looked at Sean meaningfully, then turned to Frelia next to him.
Just from a glance, Sean seemed to know what she was referring to!
Is this guy really unable to speak...
Helplessly, he looked at the nautical chart on the table.
"Wait, look there!"
