Chapter 168 Times have changed

The emergence of the three-masted sailing ship can be said to have pushed the maritime transportation capacity of the three southern countries into the next era.

However, not many people know about this for the time being, and Andrew is one of them.

He knows that the three-masted sailing ship represents his nephew's power at sea, and all the sailing ships are currently going to perform a certain mission.

And it is a very important mission.

Under the guidance of the port's guide ship, the three-masted sailing ship sailed into a separate berth.

This is a separate area, where only some ships from Degen Port are parked.

Andrew and his three friends rode to the port on horseback to get first-hand information.

However, when they got closer, they found something wrong.

This new ship, which has been at sea for only a year, is covered with various traces on its hull, and it is obvious that it has experienced battles.

And the sailors who came down from the ship also proved this speculation.

Soon, the captain appeared in front of Andrew with a beard.

"Sir!"

The captain's expression was very ferocious, and his voice was a little bloody: "I found the secret of those southerners.

New route, this is a new route.

But we also looted their supply point, and we were discovered, and we almost didn't come back."

When they set out, they were divided into several fleets and set out separately. Now only this ship has returned, and it is unknown how many will come back later.

Without a specific sea chart, various accidents will cause the ship to lose people.

Andrew can only comfort: "Don't worry, give me the sea chart, I will remember these grudges for you, and I will definitely avenge you in the future."

The strong prey on the weak, although it was one of their own people who started first, but you can't say that.

No matter who is right or wrong, you must favor your own people.

It's okay for me to beat you, but if you kill my people, you must retaliate.

Besides, there are no rules on the sea, and there is no maritime convention between the three southern countries to restrict any behavior.

Even robbery and killing are legal.

The captain was very happy to hand over the charts and logbooks. He was not worried about being embezzled.

Andrew was very excited when he got the things. He asked some details, then copied all the documents several times with shaking hands, and finally sent them to Derek as soon as possible.

At the same time, he also ordered Sheriff Raymond to keep it confidential. The things behind it were enough to drive people crazy.

...

When Derek got the information from Port Degen, he read it carefully several times and found that it was just as he expected.

"These guys in the south are really lucky."

In a way, it is not good luck.

The maritime power of the three southern countries in the past was insufficient, that is, the southern nobles of the Locke Kingdom were suppressed too badly, and had to find another way to explore the sea.

In traditional cognition, there are only some small islands overseas, which have never been taken seriously.

Unexpectedly, they really found a new world.

What's more amazing is that the natives of the new world are very useless.

The southern nobles were suppressed in the country, but they immediately trembled when they arrived in the New World. They beat black people with one sword and made them call for daddy.

Under the power of their father, they came to Rock Kingdom to work obediently and used their blood and sweat to make Rock people live a better life. It was really touching.

But for Derek, the New World is a wonderful dream for the time being. The land under his feet has not been digested yet, so how can he care about the New World?

At least for three to five years, the New World will not be the first choice.

Of course, it is not that nothing will be done.

Derek picked up the pen and made instructions.

"Come on, send it to my uncle."

His idea is very correct. First, find out the route, and it is better to find more safe routes, and then consider it further.

Once a new continent is discovered, it is hard to say that there is no second one.

Even if there is no, first establish a base in the New World, and find some suitable places to establish supply points along the way. All these must be done step by step.

When enough power is accumulated, it can be exploded at once.

For now, it is still focused on the present.

For example, the barbarians in front of us.

The war situation is close to being stable. The barbarians are losing ground and being beaten unconscious by the Rockman.

The sense of superiority of the past 30 years was all destroyed in an instant.

The Barbarian King’s faction had suffered before, and now the clan faction has also seen how powerful it is.

Let’s not talk about the contradictions between the two sides for the time being. At least for now, they all know that they should stabilize the situation first.

Internal strife is internal strife, but being beaten by the Rockman is no longer an internal strife.

After unifying their opinions, the Barbarian King and the clan jointly nominated a new frontline commander.

The latter was actually prepared for a long time and took office urgently.

First, the frontline troops were unified, and then the defense line was contracted.

Except for the last city and several surrounding castles, everything was abandoned by them.

Concentrate the troops and be a turtle first.

Although it is not good to look at or hear, at least the inside is saved.

The attack of the Rockman was contained, and the opposite army, which was mainly composed of barbarians, was also unable to continue the attack.

Then, the new leader Renato disclosed the information he got from the king to all clan leaders.

"One year, less than a year of training, are the barbarian troops on the opposite side really the guys in the wilderness?" The leader Pabo, who suffered heavy losses, jumped up from his chair.

His situation has improved in recent days. After all, everyone has been beaten up, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.

However, he still didn't believe that his first compatriot, a compatriot who had failed in the struggle and lived in the wilderness, would be driven around after a year of simple training. Is there any justice in this world?

This is also a common thought among the leaders. They feel that this barbarian army was carefully prepared by Rockman. Maybe they have been training in secret for ten or eight years and are just waiting to take advantage of them.

Renato glanced around and saw that the heads were sitting in all sorts of strange ways, which made him feel very bad.

He knew the virtues of his people, especially the leaders and clan nobles, so he tried his best to explain calmly: "At most one year, many soldiers even escaped from your territory. This will never happen." wrong.

And according to our latest information, many of your captured tribesmen have joined the other side's barbarian army and are receiving basic training. Perhaps by this time next year, you will face your former subordinates on the battlefield. "

These words made everyone's hearts tremble. Today's barbarian army is troublesome enough, but they are also expanding?

"Now, do you all know the seriousness of the problem?" After Renato finished scaring him, he stated his purpose: "That Duke Leopold has proven time and time again that he is the best of this era. General, so we need to unite, otherwise the entire barbarian kingdom will tremble under his iron hoof.

It's not too late now, everyone... put aside your past grudges and be prepared to deal with the Grand Duke for a long time. "
