Chapter 394

    "Cheers to the northern emperor!"


    Clendot dressed out of the captain''s room and ordered the sailors to take out the remaining wine from the warehouse and distribute it to all the crew on board. People''s nerves have been stretched into a straight string by the increasing pressure. It''s time to relax.


    In fact, as a captain, clendot was under no less pressure than others, but more. He handed over the vilost chart to the Black Dragon Emperor, and he was also the direct person in charge of the task. If he finally returned to the north without anything, he could not imagine what he would face.


    So Karen was far from as light as the surface, and his inner anxiety and suffering tortured him at the same time.


    Fortunately, they all survived. After six months of drifting at sea, today, the ocean fleet finally arrived at its final destination. For this reason, some people even shed excited tears.


    But arriving at their destination does not mean that the task is over. On the contrary, their task has just begun.


    Clendo was an experienced captain. After a drink, he didn''t lose his mind in the cheers of the crew. He didn''t wait to order the landing, but let the fleet cruise near the sea and spent some time observing the situation on the shore with a telescope.


    Velost is a secret place for the aladian people, and the light of civilization is far from reaching the corner of the world. Therefore, there can be no ports for large ships to park in and out on this continent, and the shallow water area not far from the coast is a taboo place for the ocean fleet.


    With the displacement of armored ships in the ocean fleet, even the smallest patrol reconnaissance ship can hardly ensure that it can safely and stably reach the shore without grounding, let alone flagship, frigates and supply ships - they can''t sail into the offshore sea at all, but can only park on the sea a long distance from the coast.


    The "landing ship plan" of Beidi is still in the long process of research and development. At present, the crew can only rely on the original wooden boat commonly used by Aladia to go to land. This process is very dangerous because of poor stability and weak defense. At this time, once the soldiers are found and attacked, even if the other party only uses the original bows, arrows and missiles, the damage caused is enough to be fatal.


    The "appropriate place" mentioned by clendot means avoiding the coast with dense trees and open terrain, which is not only conducive to observing the situation, but also providing support from the sea in case of emergency and ensuring the safe landing of soldiers. In addition, it is also conducive to the establishment of sentry posts at the first time after landing to prevent the attack of the velost aborigines.


    After half an hour of observation and analysis, combined with the comprehensive discussion of the information handed in by the reconnaissance fleet, credo selected the landing point of the soldiers.


    He was gracious and solemn. His fingers moved horizontally on the simple semi-finished map drawn by relying on information integration, and finally stopped in a certain part: "we''re going ashore here."


    "Ah?"


    His words caused the unanimous confusion of others in the command room, because in the discussion and analysis just now, the commanders came up with two landing schemes: the whole south bank and some areas on the east bank with open terrain.


    In contrast, the situation on the south bank is much better than that on the east bank. It is reasonable that the small-scale landing on the east bank can only be used as an alternative, but Captain credo chose this more difficult road.


    "This is an order to inform all landing personnel to prepare!" clendot did not explain his motivation, and the order was issued immediately.


    The reason for making this decision is that after a period of time, they are bound to leave this land. In this process, once they contact with the local aborigines, as long as they are not stupid, they will absolutely investigate their motivation, direction and landing place, and even build a tight defense line at the original landing place after they leave.


    This is not what clendot wants. He understands the difficulties facing his country. The blockade of the empire is strong and powerful, the trade volume has decreased sharply, the domestic commodity backlog, the economy is depressed, the unemployed population has increased... Various unstable factors have brought great harm to the north, and this repressed country is constantly finding new ways out.


    If velost is judged to be valuable, the Empire will visit this continent again. Credo wants to hide the landing place on the south bank and create the best environment for the return of the Empire.


    ……


    Landing training is one of the routine training and assessment subjects of the Northern Fleet. Soldiers who cannot complete the assessment with excellent results will not be allowed to become a member of the Northern Fleet. In various military training, the royal court''s orders are very strict. Even superior casters have no privilege and still have to receive training and participate in the assessment.


    Therefore, the whole process took less than five minutes from the issuance of the order, the preparation of the troops to the start of the operation. Soon, hundreds of landing boats were dropped from each warship of the ocean fleet, packed like dumplings, and moved quickly and orderly to vilost.


    The landing plan was unexpectedly successfully completed. Perhaps the veloste aborigines didn''t care about the coast guard, or perhaps there were no aboriginal tribes nearby. Anyway, the landing soldiers didn''t suffer any obstacles and blows except to deal with the turbulence of the waves.


    "At least for now, this is a fertile land."


    Karen, who jumped ashore, thought that when the ocean fleet approached, he saw many beautiful islands surrounded by green trees. After standing on the main continent, he found that this place had a mild climate and fertile land, which was much better than the barren and harsh north of ayladia.


    Such land should belong to the black wing empire!


    "Quickly take their belongings off the ship and hurry up!"


    Before his feet had stood on the earth of vilost for three seconds, Captain credo''s order came again: "go inside. We must complete the station and sentry before sunset."


    His Majesty''s order is to try not to offend the local aborigines, try to trade with them, ordinary new trade products, and build a maritime trade system.


    However, according to clendo''s own judgment, this is basically impractical, otherwise the guys of the trading city-state would have done business here long ago. As far as he knows, the veloste aborigines are a group of heterogeneous people with dark skin and strong body. They have not developed a highly organized society like countries and city-states, that is, the veloste people do not desire trade, On the contrary, they are extremely vigilant and hostile to foreign travelers.


    In addition to the language barrier, different customs and other factors, it is obviously difficult for them to reach any friendly agreement with the vilosts. The forerunners of the trading city states have tried and proved after repeated attempts that similar policies and measures are wrong and ineffective.


    Therefore, clendot secretly violated his Majesty''s order and made his own decisions. Instead of continuing to make futile efforts in this regard, he asked his subordinates to devote limited time and energy to investigating the climate and real estate of velost, the social composition and force level of indigenous tribes, etc.
