After the naval battle with the Black Tusk Pirates, the Morning Advance entered a peaceful time. The scarred ironclad ship advanced rapidly, leaving a turbid white torrent on the sea. Cargo ships followed behind it, moving straight ahead, fully loaded with supplies and hope.
How many days had it been since we left the port of Rendona? Lorenzo couldn't remember clearly. The monotonous life at sea was not only boring, but also made his senses blurred under the mechanical repetition.
Lorenzo no longer cared what day it was. He just wanted to reach land as soon as possible and put his feet on solid ground. This shaking deck really made it hard to feel at ease.
"Blue Jade, you're bored too, aren't you?"
Lorenzo turned his head and looked at Blue Jade who was kneeling on the deck. She held a brush in one hand and a bucket in the other, constantly rubbing the bulkhead to clean the rust.
Blue Jade didn't bother to pay attention to him. To be more precise, she didn't bother to pay attention to anyone. She scratched the rust hard to give herself something to do.
"What about you, Seleu? What do you think of the sea?"
Lorenzo looked to the other side again. Seleu moved a small chair and sat in the shade. The sea breeze brushed her face. It sounded quite gentle, but it made people feel a little uncomfortable after a long time. However, she squinted her eyes and sat on the chair stubbornly.
Seleu said she wanted to see the sea, and then sat there. At first she was quite interested, but after a few minutes, even Seleu looked listless.
The sea is a monotonous painting. If it weren't for the rolling clouds, sometimes you would doubt whether you were still standing in the same place.
But it’s not too bad. Even though it’s so monotonous, Seleu still likes sitting here. He has a feeling of freedom.
Since becoming the Duke of Stuart, she has had very little free time. She is either learning new knowledge or attending various meetings. Although there are many people in the group who have the power to make decisions, Seleuco's signature is still required in the end.
For Seleu, this can be said to be a rare vacation. Of course, this vacation seems to be quite exciting.
People were hurrying on the artillery platform not far away. The maintenance of the Morning Advance was still going on. They tried to repair as much as possible before arriving at the Viking countries.
The continuous firing caused some problems for Ascalon, the main one being that the base was somewhat unstable. It could be seen that the bracket supporting the barrel had been slightly bent, and the slide rail below for adjusting the direction had been completely broken.
Here is a resting vacation, and a few steps will take you to the fierce battlefield. Seleucus has long been accustomed to such a somewhat fragmented life.
"It's not so bad. It's like a desert made of water. It's endless. If you're not careful, you might die here."
Seryuu spoke slowly. The afternoon sun was setting, a little hot and making people drowsy.
The crew members were not like her. As logistics personnel, they accelerated the pace of maintenance, working from morning to night. They were very busy, but everyone liked this busy life. For them, in this long and boring journey, they finally had something to do to kill time, and everyone was immersed in it.
"A desert made of water? That sounds pretty romantic."
