Woo woo woo...
Wind speeds suitable for battleship navigation are usually between 10 and 40 knots.
If it is less than 10 knots, splashing water on the sail will not be able to catch the wind. If it is more than 40 knots, it is a force 8 wind. All sails must be furled and you must find a shelter quickly.
At this time, the sea breeze blowing from the northeast is getting stronger and stronger.
The Category 6 wind, which has exceeded 22 knots, not only blew away the fog on the sea, but also rolled up large amounts of white foam on the sea surface.
The turbid waves are layered on top of each other, forming countless undulating sea hills.
The warship rushed in from the northeast like a mountain climber, despite the already harsh high sea conditions.
Byron's judgment was absolutely correct. It was a fifth-level cruiser belonging to the Strait Fleet of the Kingdom of Hetings - [Severe].
On the stern of the ship, which is much taller than the pirate ship [Man-eating Shark].
A gentleman wearing a silver wig and a tortoise-shell buttoned dress put down his brass monocular and gave a cold order to the accompanying officer:
“Sail with the wind astern, pursue at full speed, and must not let any remnant of the Lancastrian party escape.
I specially asked a [prophet] from the tower sequence to perform astrological divination and determined an offshore coordinate on the North Sea.
As long as we can get there in time.
No matter it is the [Devil's Son] who has a reward of 5,000 gold pounds, or the [Pelican] who is trying to help the Lancastrian party transfer property, there is no way to escape.
Anyone who dares to go against the White Rose York family will have no place for them not only in the Kingdom of Hattings, but also in the entire sea! "
Beside them, a hand-drawn wanted poster was nailed to the mizzen mast.
If the picture above is not Byron, which one is it?
Just like the [Logbook] said, in a world with extraordinary abilities, there is certainly no shortage of means to confirm life and death and track locations.
The "Hunter" in the "Wilderness Sequence", the "Psychic Medium" in the "Cemetery Sequence", the "Prophet" in the "Tower Sequence" and other professions are all experts in this field.
After the York family came to power, it was announced that the Lancastrian bloodline had been completely severed in the storm.
No one in the world is qualified to threaten their inheritance and legitimacy.
This is understandable. Which winner doesn’t want to dress up the little girl of history?
But beneath the surface.
However, a few core members have already seen the investigative report made by the hounds composed of extraordinary people from various sequences under their command on the old enemy Red Rose.
Immediately began an intense pursuit of Byron, the last Lancaster, in secret!
While the navy issued a high bounty, he was also given a wanted criminal code name [Son of the Devil] that sounded very evil.
I am afraid that this thorn in my side and my flesh will not die quickly enough.
Of course, this may also be the effect of Byron's title: "Enemy of York! Permanent pursuit, never ending!" was triggered.
Freedom is too far, York is too close!
Byron, who was lucky enough to save his life from the pirates, was far from out of danger.
On board the Severe, Lieutenant Colonel Harold, who did not know Byron’s true identity and importance, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to persuade him:
“But, Your Excellency Baron, the weather in the North Sea is very changeable in late autumn.
Plus the lingering remnants of the weird storm five days ago were still there.
The wind speed at sea is still rising, and the wave height is already close to 2 meters.
It is too dangerous to chase enemy ships in such high sea conditions. Once the wind speed exceeds 40 knots, it will be too late to hide in a safe harbor. "
In that cautious look, where is the majestic aura of a captain who has the power of life and death for a ship of soldiers?
But who made this Baron Adonis, who gives orders on his own initiative, come from the York family that just came to power?
Even if it's just a branch child who was urgently canonized to consolidate the family's power.
That is also the only royal family recognized by the [Iron Law of Royal Power: Magna Carta] in the Kingdom of Hetings after the genocide of Lancaster!
Hear the words.
Baron Adonis, who was wearing a wig, had a pair of blue eyes similar to Byron's with a slightly cold color, and stared at Captain Harold for a long time.
Finally, quite unexpectedly.
This Yorkie did not have the brainless perversity that he expected from a playboy. Instead, he gradually put away the coldness on his face and smiled sincerely at Harold:
"Your Excellency Captain, I am too impatient.
Please believe that I fully respect your authority on the ship.
But what I want to say is that in the decisive battle five days ago, you and your fifth-level ships were not allowed to participate in the fleet duel of battleships above fourth level.
If you could capture a few heads of Lancastrians at that time, you would have been knighted by His Majesty in the capital by now.
You ask yourself, you have missed an opportunity once, do you want to miss it a second time?
I guess, as a second-level professional-level [Fortress Guard], you don’t want to retire on a mere fifth-level cruiser, right?
And I promise you and every officer and soldier on board the ship on the honor of the York family..."
The baron glanced at everyone who looked at him.
“The royal family and I will not share a single gold coin in the loot during this mission.
All the collections of a nobleman on the merchant ship, as well as the 5,000 bounty on wanted criminals, were also given to the "Severe".
I have only one request, help me tear apart all the enemies of the York family before other pursuers arrive! "
What I had in mind was:
'This is the last Lancaster that can compete with the York family for the authority of the "Iron Law of Kingship".
As long as I kill him, my title can be upgraded by two levels, and I can even take over part of the Lancastrian party's territory and become a real nobleman!
Compared with power, what does mere money mean? '
After hearing what Adonis said, the captain and the officers, who didn't know the inside story, couldn't help but their eyes became hot and their breathing became a little heavier.
This is at least 5,000 gold pounds plus a whole ship's worth of property.
You must know that in this era, the annual salary of a skilled sailor will never exceed 20 pounds, and the income of a farmer will not even exceed 10 pounds!
And the baron is right, the fifth-level ships of various countries are generally the main force in privateer fleets and battles.
Looting enemy merchant ships and destroying enemy sea lines of communication are all part of his profession. It is not an exaggeration to call him an official pirate.
It's just that this time they were responsible for intercepting and killing domestic merchant ships.
There is no need to adventure on the outer sea routes full of headhunters, wizards, sea monsters, diseases, evil spirits, and all kinds of weird things.
As long as he intercepts the fleeing ships of the Lancastrian party, he may be promoted and make a fortune, becoming one of the leading rich men.
And that [Devil's Son] is just a mere mortal.
After receiving Baron Adonis's promise, there was no more noise on the entire battleship, and the whole battleship started to move like a chicken blood.
At this moment, the lookout stationed on the mainmast soon came with the news:
"Report to Captain, we have found traces of the [Pelican] at the two o'clock position of our ship!
But it had already been attacked, was burning, and was about to sink.
There is another pirate ship that is escaping quickly. Judging from the emblem of the skull riding a shark on the pirate flag, it should be the notorious "Man-Eating Shark" in the North Sea.
The captain is [Blood Eyes] Salman, who has a reward of 4,300 pounds. "
None of the group of officers cared about the sinking of the merchant ship Pelican.
Pirate Ship? No!
They are just carriers of wealth.
As half of the navy, the merchant ship Pelican must have been emptied of all valuables and people before it was bombed and sunk.
As for the difficulty of hunting, there is no essential difference between a small pirate ship and an armed merchant ship.
Lieutenant Colonel Harold visually measured the distance and speed of both sides, pulled out the command knife from his waist, and shouted loudly:
"Soldiers, show your skills and show His Majesty the Baron the prowess of the Harsh.
With the current distance and speed, we can catch up in about two hours and crush them!
For gold...Your Majesty the King! "
"Ho! For His Majesty the King——!"
