Chapter 059 Man, Nature and Man
"On August 24, 1503, the East China Sea, Roger Town to the Kingdom of Victoria.
Just like the previous three days, today's weather is still not conducive to navigation.
For some reason, the sea route, which has always been clear and clear, was covered with dark clouds. The bitter sea breeze blew on people's faces and stabbed like a knife. The sailors on the ship could not explain this strange weather at all..."
In the cabin, Crow was sitting upright at a desk, using a quill to record his current sea situation in the logbook.
Clow is a very meticulous person. He will record any small things that happen in life that may not seem to be special to others in his diary, not to mention the strange weather these days.
And his habit only started after becoming a navy.
Because in the past days, he did not dare to use text to record any information - in order to avoid leaking any information about himself.
Clow didn't like this kind of sailing life. He was not the decent life he wanted.
But he had no choice. Since he had tied himself to the Navy Major's warship, it might not be that simple to leave.
But the only thing that made Clow feel relieved was that Major Hailan was indeed fulfilling his original promise - trying to make Clow live a decent life.
The warships were undulating in the wind and waves, and not only sailors and sailors were busy outside, but also Major Hailan and Lieutenant Wagner.
If you don’t worry about lack of worries and inequality, your sense of happiness is comparable.
As a result, Clow's psychology was still a little more relaxed.
Clow would not take the initiative to walk out of the cabin and deliberately please Hai Lan by helping sail, because he knew that his value to Hai Lan was not here.
It is not scary to be used by a person, but what is scary is that others are too lazy to use you.
Clow knew very well that as long as he could maintain his existing value and continue to carry forward it, as long as Major Hailan did not fall, his future would only be bright.
...
"Sir, the storm is too big. I'm afraid that if we continue sailing, our warship will be overturned by the waves!"
Lieutenant Wagner used his left arm to cross his forehead, squinted his eyes tightly, walked to Hai Lan's ear and shouted loudly.
The sound comes from the vibration of the medium. The sound that is usually transmitted in the air when it encounters strong winds of today, the distance that can be transmitted is extremely limited.
Hai Lan also shouted loudly: "Do you, a native of the East China Sea, have no experience in fighting this kind of storm?"
"I've never met it before, I've never met it before!"
Lieutenant Wagner was shirtless and had no image of a lieutenant. In such extreme climates, no one could still take care of his image.
Unlike Belmer, who has been promoted to colonel of Roger, Wagner is still a branch lieutenant.
Because he has a different choice from Bellmeier.
Wagner wanted to stay with Bellmeier, but since he met Chief Hailan, he felt that his pursuit of life had gradually changed.
Major Hailan, who was specially sent to the East China Sea, fought bravely and sympathized with his subordinates, and attacked the pirates very actively.
This is the image that the navy should have in his mind.
Only such a superior deserves his respect.
Unlike Clow, who stayed with Hailan for his future, Wagner wanted to follow Chief Hailan from the bottom of his heart.
As for Bellmeier...
Fortunately... I have never confessed my love, nor have I ever expressed my admiration for her.
Although, with Belmer's intelligence, she might have seen it a long time ago.
But Bellmeier's independence is too strong, and maybe he will not have any results if he persists.
Why not follow Chief Hai Lan to realize the ideals of both sides.
Wagner comforted himself like this.
Click!
A thunder flashed through the clouds, as if nature was venting its ruthless anger.
A huge wave like a hill rose up and shot towards Hailan's warship.
Lanjiao. Siege cannon!
Hai Lan jumped up from the warship, and the blue vacuum chopping wave formed a spiral blue energy shock wave on his legs, carrying an unstoppable momentum and blasted towards the surging waves that ordinary people could only look up to.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
One after another, "siege cannons" flew towards the huge waves in Hailan's footsteps, and burst into deafening roars.
Finally, water drips through the stone and cannons collapsed.
The huge wave that was enough to sweep all the masts on the warship broke into two halves from the middle, making a way for the warships moving forward.
The sea water mixed with rain poured on the warships. Hailan, who had been wet by heavy rain, no longer cared about the sea water.
He stood at the bow of the ship like a stone statue, and remained motionless without the wind and rain.
Hai Lan's firm image gave the soldiers on the deck great confidence.
"Don't worry, with Chief Hailan clearing the way for the warships, no huge wave can stop us from moving forward. Everyone should work harder and try harder to rush over!"
Wagner took the lead in pulling the sails while boosting morale.
But in the face of the power of nature, no matter how high a person's morale is, it still seems extremely small and powerless.
The huge waves are no longer.
But it does not mean that the blocking disappears.
The boundless and surging sea actually blew with strange dark green wind.
Click!
Without warning, the main mast of the warship suddenly broke in the incredible eyes of everyone.
The violent shaking even Kloe shook out.
"The mast is broken? This is impossible!
The man has not been scraped away yet, how could the mast be broken?
This is not an old pirate ship, it is a warship!"
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, after the mast breaks, the wind and waves on the sea seem to have become smaller.
"The dark green wind? Who has seen it?"
Hailan frowned and asked the soldiers on the deck.
Everyone, including Clow and Wagner, was full of confusion and kept shaking their heads.
"Go back."
With everyone's surprise and disappointment, Hai Lan finally issued an order to return.
What is happy is that you no longer have to risk your life to compete with nature; what is disappointing is that even with the leadership of Chief Hailan, everyone was eventually defeated by the power of nature.
"Go back, you shouldn't be involved in this."
Above the dark clouds, a man hiding himself in his hood was talking to himself.
But just when he thought the matter was over, his attention was attracted by Hai Lan again.
"Clow, find me a redundant compass."
Without saying anything, Clow turned around and got into the cabin.
But Wagner asked curiously: "Sir, what do you want the compass to do?"
Hai Lan turned around and looked at the sea in the distance: "The only way to travel the warship is to go here. I will walk the next road myself!"
