Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 348-Hatrafa Port and the Puppet Potion

North of the Golden Sea.

The unnamed island, the port of Hatrafa.

This is a secret private port belonging to the East Lunzi Company, and it has not been long since it was discovered and started construction.

Because of the special circumstances after the battle between Ivan and the Hilius fleet, they were urgently activated.

Although it is located within the core sphere of influence of Hilius on the east coast of the New World-the Golden Sea, its location is very hidden.

The area of ​​the island is not small, although most of it is uncultivated forest land, but there is fresh water, if you manage it carefully, it can supply thousands of people to live here.

There are reefs all over its periphery, and only a long and narrow waterway is connected to the lagoon outside the private port. If there are foreign enemies, no matter how many people or boats come, they can only enter and exit through the long and narrow waterways.

As long as a sufficient number of forts are built on both sides of the passage, this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack portal can be firmly held.

The other side of the island is also densely covered with reefs.

Although due to the time issue, the first explorers of East Lundz Company had not had time to explore clearly, but they believed that under such complicated hydrological conditions, there must be more than one road leading to the Tasman Islands not far away.

The Tasman Islands are made up of star-studded islands, reefs, sandbars..., even if an entire fleet hides in, don't even try to find out for a short time.

Obviously, just by looking at their initial selection of this place for the port construction in the early stage, it can be known that it cannot be used for any good deeds.

However, it happened to be cheaper for Aiwen and them.

In order to avoid Sirius's eyes and ears, they did not choose to return to "Dearborn Castle" or any colony belonging to Falitis.

Turning on the "fog silver lantern" all the way is like a large cloud of white fog on the sea, quietly coming here from the territorial sea buffer zone of Sack and tulips in the north.

Hide it smoothly.

In fact, although Hilius established a large number of naval bases, colonies, and bastions on the east and west.

It took two hundred years to defend its world hegemony step by step with the Great Wall on the Sea.

But there is a key issue that cannot be ignored.

That is, the population of Hilius is too small!

Compared with the land, the population is sparse, and it is impossible to rule the world's most extensive territory in every aspect.

Just like the ancient Chinese kingship did not go to the countryside, they only established point-like limited rule with naval bases and cities, outside of which there were a large number of vacuum areas that were beyond consideration.

It also gave pirates and other forces room to thrive.

There was even a situation where pirates drove the Hilius people away from a certain island to occupy the magpie's nest, and the Hilius officials were too lazy to take care of it.

At this time, it was the third day that the four warships came here.

In the dry dock, which was not small but still very rudimentary, the crew dragged the two most damaged warships of the "Cape Storm" and the "Stellenbosch" ashore for major repairs.

when! when! when! ...

nail! nail! nail! ...

The stern building of the "Cape Storm" was damaged once again. The carpenters who were already familiar with the ship commanded the sailors to get up and down. They wanted to repair it as quickly as possible with the ship's materials sent by the East Lundz company. .

A small half of the sideboard of the "Stardenburg" was directly torn apart by the powerful force of self-detonation. Although it was not below the waterline, the injuries were heavier than that of the "Storm Horn".

Even after emergency repairs, the water was still leaking while sailing.

On the way home, there is a group of sailors who are responsible for pumping water continuously for twenty-four hours with a human-powered pump before they insist on coming here.

In the expectations of the carpenters.

The repair time of "Cape Storm" should be a bit faster, and it should be about half a month away, and "Stellenbosch" may not be able to be launched again before the end of the "Silver War".

However, as the commander-in-chief, Aiwen is not in a hurry.

Because when he had just arrived at the Port of Khatrafa, he had already received the next order from Lieutenant General Gustav, the highest military officer of the "Dilbenburg", or more accurately, a "reward order."

In the name of the chief military officer stationed in the New World, the Lieutenant General has asked the Royal Military Department for credit for all officers and soldiers of the "Storm Horn" and "Endeavor", especially those individuals who have made outstanding contributions or sacrificed heroically.

In the "commendation order".

Promote Ivan's rank to colonel (from now on with the command of the small fleet), promote Milan's rank to lieutenant colonel (with outstanding meritorious service), promote Gary to major (captain's rank can no longer match his abilities and merits), promote Boris to lieutenant colonel (The credit is already enough, this time I will save face)...

Other personnel have their own promotion.

It's just that the direct superiors of Aiwen and "Storm Horn" are the naval military, and they can only take effect after the military command arrives.

But whether it was from Lieutenant General Gustav's perspective or from Ivan's perspective, it was obviously impossible for the military to reject this order.

The "commendation order" was personally delivered by Major General Demon Brand, and it also meant that he would come to inspect the results in person.

After all, don't say that the current "Silver War" is just a long and secret battle between the two countries.

The results of this kind of "annihilating the opponent's fleet headed by a third-tier ship" are absolutely rare, let alone doing it silently.

There are several tier three ships of Hilius in the entire New World, and each one is related to Hilius's dominance over this continent.

After losing this fleet, it is hard for others to say, but the deputy royal district of La Plata who sent them is absolutely going crazy!

But there is a double concealment of physical and spiritual aspects, and no one can find out that it was actually Falettis quietly.

At the same time, the captured warships were temporarily placed under the control of Aiwen, allowing them to withdraw from the battle sequence for temporary repairs. Major General Demon Brand promised to find ways to supplement Aiwen's lost soldiers as soon as possible after returning.

When he finally left, he only took away the flags of a few ships. He was going to show the results of the battle to the "allies" and strive for benefits!

Step on.. step on.. step on..

After inspecting the dock, Aiwen walked alone along the unrepaired loess path on the island towards the currently planned residential area on the island.

At this time, the manpower on the island is tense, every manpower is precious, and everyone has their own work to do.

"Hey...hey..."

Beside him, a row of bare-chested Hilius soldiers strode past. Together, they carried the trimmed tree trunks and went to the residential area to build temporary shelters for the soldiers.

Since they temporarily withdrew from the battle sequence, it means that they need to stay here for a while.

Under the influence of mountains, ocean currents, and trade winds in the Golden Sea, the climate varies from place to place.

But most areas have a tropical maritime climate, which is not friendly to most soldiers who have lived in the high latitudes of the Old World since they were young.

Malaria, yellow fever, blood dysentery, edema, colds, parasitic diseases...There are also a variety of strange diseases that are hard to prevent.

If there is no stable place to ensure a good rest, both physical condition, combat effectiveness, and immunity will decline rapidly, and you will be defeated by various diseases without fighting!

The only thing that makes people feel unbelievable is that they are not guarded by Falatis soldiers at all, nor are they wearing any shackles or other restrictions on freedom.

Even these Hilius faces were full of enthusiasm and high spirits, as if they were not serving Falitis but building a palace for their king.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that the soldiers' residence will be delivered on time!"

When passing by Ivan, the captain officer in the lead saluted him respectfully, and other soldiers carrying logs also paid attention.

Aiwen nodded very naturally and watched them run away energetically.

Regarding this, even the crew members who had been accustomed to Aven's magical methods on the ship felt a little shuddering after learning the truth.

He became more and more in awe of his captain.

Because, it was not that these Hilius soldiers had abandoned the dark and cast the light, but they all drank a unique potion. Aiwen uses the mushrooms grown from Mallory and Mopilates as raw materials to formulate-【Puppet Potions】.

This kind of potion will not have any impact on wisdom, ability, or health, but it has quietly planted orders that are completely loyal to Aiwen in their hearts. All other values ​​and concepts will be adjusted by themselves based on this core.

The most important thing is that it is very concealed, no hyphae can be found on the body, and there is no abnormality. As long as you don't encounter a choice that contradicts the core command, UU reading www.uukanshu.com can't find it even the closest people.

However, this kind of thing that has been completely called "evil" also has limitations. The effectiveness of a single medication lasts for up to one month, and the effect will gradually decrease over time, and even gradually develop resistance.

There is one biggest flaw.

Even the potion level can only control ordinary people, and the official knight who has undergone extraordinary transformation and determination is almost immune to this kind of thing.

It is absolutely impossible to use this kind of thing to easily reap a large number of loyal subordinates, control the command level of the enemy's military, or be used by those in power to rule the people.

In line with the principle of waste utilization.

Since there are so many Captives of Hilius, Major General Demon Brand did not say how to deal with them before he left. Ivan simply made his own claim and turned these captives into a member of the construction army of the Port of Hatrafa.

Just like...the Anuma and Atrians enslaved by Hilius.
