"1741.12.7, the fourth day after leaving port zero."


    "Today, we were blocked again. The fleet lost the storm and thunder. Fortunately, we finally sailed out of the Hejian sea."


    "The time is too short for the fleet to prepare long-distance materials. Judging from the current consumption, the food and fresh water on the main ship and frigate can only last for two weeks. So far, the distress signal we sent has not been answered."


    "The enemy is in hot pursuit. This bad news makes everyone''s already tense nerves more fragile. Everyone''s temper becomes irritable. They shout and even fight at the people around them because of some small things."


    "I''m very upset. I heard that there have been three vicious fights among Orc soldiers on the thorn flower. Some sailors are mysteriously missing. Sailors of different races began to guard against each other."


    ……


    Charlie put down his pen, sighed, and looked at the records in front of him while turning the paper. This is the escape diary after the dawn of the north. On the first day, he filled two pages of paper, but the more he went back, the fewer words he had. Today, there are only a few messy and scattered words.


    No way, the current situation is urgent, domestic and foreign troubles, and no one can sit down and record daily life. Moreover, as the successor of master Corvette, he has too many things to deal with. It is not easy to insist on completing his diary in his busy life, let alone spend time connecting sentences and modifying words.


    Closing his notebook, Charlie stood up with a haggard face and looked at the rough black sea from the round porthole. During this time, he was worried about the sudden emergence of several magic guided ships on the sea.


    "May the Lord of Twilight bless us." he whispered a prayer to the sea.


    After the prayer, Charlie immediately went to the small hard bed in the corner. The fleet was in danger all the time, and the rest time should be cherished.


    The door was buckled and someone stopped outside: "Charlie, I guess you haven''t slept yet."


    "Come in."


    Charlie rubbed his eyes. This is not the first time. The captain of "northern dawn" often came to him at night to communicate intelligence and discuss problems.


    The captain''s clothes were wrinkled, which made the man in his thirties look a little old. When he came in, he directly found a place to sit down. There was no greeting at all. He said bluntly: "Charlie, you are a disciple of master Corvette. I want to hear your opinion about the serious shortage of supplies."


    At present, the only way to go is to wait for the rescue of the Empire. Cha ideal, but looking at the captain''s voice and expression, it seems that he doesn''t want to hear this answer.


    He pondered for a while and said tentatively, "there are some islands in the Red Sea. Although the Empire has not set foot in them, they have marked their positions on the chart. Maybe we can search for food and water on those islands?"


    "It will only take time," the captain shook his head. "Those islands are not on our route at all."


    "What are your plans?"


    In this tone, Charlie guessed that this guy didn''t come to ask questions.


    "Our current supplies can''t sustain the consumption of so many people," the captain said.


    "Yes, even if the dog demons can go to sleep..."


    Charlie nodded subconsciously, but then he stopped, suddenly looked up and looked at the captain, looked at the invariable expression on each other''s face, his eyes suddenly widened, and a cold idea appeared in his mind: "Badley, what are you talking about?"


    "We must give up some people," Badley said clearly.


    "Are you crazy?"


    "I have no choice."


    "You''re asking them to die!" Charlie was furious. "The first rule of the empire is that no one has the right to deprive others of their lives. This is the law written by his Majesty the emperor."


    "I said, I have no choice."


    "Badley, I always thought you were a responsible and trustworthy person, but now, you told me to give up those who fought with us." Charlie said, "well, if someone really wants to be given up, why can''t that person be you?"


    "The mission entrusted to me by the empire is to ensure the safety of the ''northern dawn''."


    Badri was not affected by his words, but just plain Narration: "this main ship is an important asset of the Empire and the crystallization product of northern industry and demon guidance technology. We must not allow it to fall into the hands of the enemy. Compared with the interests of the Empire, you, me and others are not important. These sacrifices are worth the completion."


    Charlie felt that the world was collapsing before his eyes. Not long ago, he lost his favorite mentor. Now he has to face such a terrible reality: "no matter how high sounding the reason, you can''t abandon your comrades in arms. This behavior will be sentenced to hanging by the arbitration tribunal!"


    "Hang or not, wait until you return to the Empire."


    Badley stood up. "I promised the captain of the wintering ship 30 places. Tomorrow he will send the supplies to the ''northern dawn''."


    "Why the winter?"


    "All the same."


    ……


    After a moment of silence, seeing that Charlie had no follow-up, Badley was ready to leave. Before leaving, he looked at the sitting young man, "whether you like it or not, the war has begun, and life is the most insignificant thing in the war. Wake up, the Empire still needs you."


    Charlie shook his head numbly.


    Badri twisted the doorknob, and a palpitating whine suddenly rang through the whole sea area. The frigate gave an alarm and made it clear that the enemy was found on the sea.


    Charlie had heard this sound sixteen times since he fled, and each time he was frightened. The moment the alarm sounded, he woke up from his stupidity and stood up.


    As captain Badley was one step faster than him. The guy''s expression was grim and he raised his feet and rushed to the battle command room.


    Charlie didn''t care about him. He quickly walked to the porthole and leaned over to peep into the deep sea. The ship body of the northern dawn was slowly deflecting. Gradually, he could see some faint black spots appear on the sea level.


    The magic guided warships of the Empire!


    It was only this morning that the Third Fleet finally got rid of the enemy''s encirclement and suppression at the cost of two frigates. Unexpectedly, the other party caught up so soon. With the advantage of all-round fan lock coverage, it was easy to locate the fugitive fleet without giving them a chance to breathe.


    This high-intensity pursuit and interception can imagine the enemy''s determination to capture the northern dawn main ship.


    At the same time when the alarm sounded, the flying dragons had climbed onto the deck and flapped their wings into the sky.


    They are not distorted radiation dragons, but they have also been transformed and implanted into Lingyuan armor. This reproductive outfit jointly developed by dwarves and undead is perfectly matched with bipedal flying dragons. It not only strengthens the fragile defense ability of bipedal flying dragons, but also greatly enriches their combat means.


    Now, the strong colonized flying dragons can not only attack with sharp teeth and claws, but also project shock bombs and incendiary bombs from the weapon port of the chest. Their existence makes the black wing fleet have a longer attack range than the magic guided ships in the old era. The first wave of attacks of the fleet are often initiated by the strong colonized flying dragons.
