Master of Thermodynamics

Under the low plume cloud, Renault, standing on the bow deck of the Odin, looked out to the distant island, standing motionless in the turbulent waves, like a lone watcher.

This is Saks Island and the final destination of the fleet.

When the entire Twilight Mountain Kingdom has been completely occupied by the Black Orcs, it is not a good idea to rashly approach the coastline. If discovered by the Black Orcs on the shore, it is very likely to attract the Black Orcs' warships.

Once this happens, all nearby Black Orc tribes will definitely be alarmed, and Renault's subsequent series of plans will also go bankrupt. This is definitely not what he wants to see. The most correct way is to dock next to the islands along the coast of the mainland.

Sachs Island is the island carefully chosen by Elon. It is only more than 30 nautical miles away from the Glow Mainland. If the fleet sails at full speed, it can reach the mainland in more than an hour at most.

The area of ​​this island is close to 5 square kilometers. The island is full of dense forests and there are several quite tall mountains. It is a natural haven. Even in the event of a large storm, the sailboats docked here will be fine.

The only drawback is that there is no fresh water, but this is not a big problem. The fresh water left on the sailboat is enough for 3 days.

Even if the fresh water is used up, fresh water can be produced by the steam generator of the thermal engine. It is really impossible and there is an omnipotent lord.

"10 nautical miles ahead, on the left side of Saxophone Island, a small sailing boat was found, and I should report it to the captain..."

At this moment, the watchman on the watchtower suddenly shouted.

Renault's heart shuddered, and his figure quickly rushed into the sky.

Amidst the turbulent waves in the distance, a sailboat was undulating on the sea, and its sails had been completely lowered.

Judging from its size, its tonnage will not exceed 200 tons. There is no doubt that this must be a black orc sailboat.

And it was mostly a civilian sailing ship, not a black orc warship, that is to say, the sailing ship should be a group of black orc civilians.

Renault couldn't help but feel surprised.

Even if it is offshore, the weather today is "good", but the chance of encountering turbulence is not small, and the smaller the sailboat, the easier it is to capsize after being impacted by turbulence.

Are these black orcs civilians going to die?

The sea conditions are so bad, why did they venture out to sea?

At this time, Captain Elon seemed to have issued an order, and the hull of the Odin tilted a few degrees and sailed towards the black orc sailboat in the distance, leaving an arc trail in the waves.

The two sailors each held a red square flag, quickly rushed out of the cabin, climbed to the stern deck, and issued a semaphore command to the Haichao which was more than a hundred meters away.

Seeing the sailor cowering in the cold wind while dancing with the square flagman, Renault couldn't help but shook his head.

This set of semaphores is not an "invention" of Lord Lord, but something that exists in the alien world itself.

If you want to express a short command in semaphore, you must take several poses. In order to ensure that the sailor on the opposite side can see clearly, each pose must last a few seconds, which is time-consuming and extremely inefficient.

It's a pity that there is no such thing as "electricity" in the alien world, and the "radio" artifact is also in vain.

Renault had discussed with Seth's group of rune magicians, and it turned out that he was very sorry that there was nothing in the rune black technology that could replace the radio.

One minute later, the sailor finished Elon's order and returned to the cabin, and the opposite Haichao also began to adjust its course.

Ten minutes later, when the distance between the two sides was close to 3 nautical miles, the black orc sailing still stayed here motionless, as if they hadn't noticed Renault's fleet at all.

But this is impossible.

On the endless sea, the distance of 3 nautical miles is very close, and the hulls of the Odin and Haichao are covered with a layer of steel film, the appearance features are very eye-catching, it is difficult to not see.

The reason for this situation is that there is only one possibility, that is, the Black Orcs regard the fleet as their own ships, so they will rest assured and boldly continue to do their own work.

After discovering this, Renault couldn't help but smile, which meant that the fleet could easily catch the Black Orc's sailboat without having to hunt down and encircle it.

But think about it seriously, in fact, this kind of oolong is also a normal thing.

In the past two to thirty years, the black orc army has been fighting and winning, and the human coalition has been killed by them. The human kingdoms on the Glory Continent have been destroyed in succession. The remaining Thousand Lake Kingdoms and the White Antelope Kingdoms are not much. Years.

The ordinary people of the black orcs were naturally bursting with anger, and of course they didn't believe that there would be human sailing ships that would dare to wander here.

In fact, it is true. The humans in the south have become a group of persuasive dogs, and it is harder than reaching the sky to count on the pustules to venture into the territory of the black orcs.

However, the black orc civilians encountered a probability of one in ten thousand: this was not a sailboat from the south.

After the distance was shortened to 2 nautical miles, Captain Elon issued a new order.

A large number of island guards and sailors armed with magic air guns rushed out of the cabin in groups. Under the shouts of the captains, they lined up neatly on the side of the ship. Place.

It is foreseeable that once the black orcs enter the range, they will face a terrible metal storm.

Moose will be solely responsible for the next specific battle.

When preparing for the trip to the mainland, Renault ordered the expansion of the equipment range of the magic air gun. More than 200 sailors in the fleet have experienced a month-long shooting training. The total number of armed personnel in the sea tide has also increased sharply. 300 people.

Some of the sailors also temporarily joined the island protection team. When necessary, they will participate in various operations with the official island protection team members.

The same scene appeared on the Sea Tide, and the battle commander was Lanster of the Island Guard.

At this time, the black orc also seemed to notice that something was wrong.

The big movements on the two sailing boats, coupled with the amazing speed, all clearly hinted that the black orc: the comer is not good.

Especially the latter made them feel more uneasy. The fastest sailing boat they had ever seen was far not as fast as these two sailing boats.

The black orcs also started to move. Many people ran hurriedly on the deck, the sails were quickly raised, and the sailboat started slowly.

They want to run away.

What is speechless is that the black orc's sailing boat is even full of sails, and the strong sea breeze blows the canvas high and swells. They are not afraid of sudden turbulence. They are really a group of people who do not live or die.

But the struggle of the Black Orcs was destined to be futile. Even in the state of full sail, the speed did not exceed 11 knots, which was less than half the speed of the Odin.

Only after 2 or 3 minutes, the two sailing boats chased the Black Orcs within 500 meters, and Renault also saw clearly the situation on the opposite sailing boat.

At first glance, he saw the conch and sea shells piled high on the middle deck of the sailing ship. He suddenly realized that this was a fishing boat. The black orcs ventured out to sea to salvage the conch and sea shells.

Due to the large size of the conch and seashells in other worlds and the lack of suitable fishing tools, they can only be harvested manually.

Send people to dive into the bottom of the sea, tie the ropes to the conch, and the people on the boat will drag the conch up again. This is the most common way of fishing in other worlds.

This shows that despite occupying the Kingdoms of Mushan and Fox and grabbing a large amount of wheat, the black orcs are still facing greater food pressure, so even if the weather is so cold, the black orcs have to go to sea.

From another point of view, in the cold winter months, the sea temperature was close to zero, and the black orcs dared to go to the sea, which showed the strength of this race's physique.

If it were replaced by humans, it would probably not last for a few hours, and it would be frozen to death.

However, after a few more glances, Renault's face suddenly became gloomy.

Because he suddenly discovered that, in addition to the burly black orcs, there were more than a dozen relatively slender figures on the deck of the fishing boat.

They are human slaves!
