While the sea windmill was receiving cheers from the crowd at Dunker Port, the patrol squadron commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Neville was passing through a small cape. wWw,QUanbEn-xIAoShUo,cOM

This is the sea area with the most complex terrain near Dunerqe. Dozens of small, rocky and barren islands are piled haphazardly in this sea area with a radius of less than a hundred miles. Undercurrents, whirlpools, fog, huge seaweed and The ferocious monsters in the sea, this sea area is called the 'Cape of No Return', and it is the most dangerous water area near Dunerker.

Danger means secrecy, and this is the ideal place for some lawless heroes to set up their lair. It is also the best place for Wudalian Island’s sneak attack team to sneak into Dunerke. As long as they occupy a small island and set up a stronghold in the Cape of No Return, the aliens who invaded the sea area of Dun'erqi can advance, attack, retreat and defend, which will give them a great tactical advantage.

Twelve warships lined up in a fan shape, traveling through the archipelago at the slowest cruising speed. The water traces left behind by the ship's stern were like a large net that carefully sifted the Cape of No Return. From time to time, one or two green fireballs would rise into the sky from the battleship, exploding into large swaths of fire high in the sky. This proved that the islands that had been searched were safe.

The strong wind whipped up big waves and slapped on the heavy hull of the battleship. The huge battleship was swaying in the storm. All the soldiers on board were staggering and swaying with the water waves. This is the most uncomfortable season of the year. Even when the people of the Western Continent endure the winter, the sailors of the patrol squadron must struggle to navigate the sea.

Standing on the bridge of the flagship, looking at the raging sea outside through the transparent glass window, Lieutenant Colonel Neville's adjutant Jerry knocked the burned out pipe hard, refilled the pipe with tobacco, and prayed in a low voice. Said: "Damn weather, I hope those damn aliens won't come to cause trouble again. Even if they want to cause trouble, don't come to our defense area, go somewhere else!"

Every year, three or five towns along the northern coastline of the Western Continent are harassed by aliens. Some of the harassing teams are small in size, and the aliens with more than ten or twenty people rob at most a little food and women. However, some harassment teams are extraordinary in strength. A foreign team of thousands of people can even storm a city.

Recalling the five armed fleets of Odin's Holy Guards that Lin Qi and the others encountered, Jerry shook his head vigorously. Fortunately, they were only chasing the ship Lin Qi and the others were on. If this team of elite Odin Holy Guards invaded the mainland, it would not be possible unless it was a large city like Dunerker with regular troops garrisoned and tens of thousands of militiamen assisting in defense, and other towns. They were all defeated in one attack, but Lieutenant Colonel Neville, who was responsible for patrolling, was in trouble.

"Great God, let those damn aliens harass other defense zones! Although Dunerke is the only ice-free port in the north of the empire, there are still many other places where you can land!" Jerry was very unkind. Praying, there has been peace for thirty years, and the blood in the emperor's body has been drained a lot. The idea of dead Taoist friends will not die of poor Taoists, Jerry's thoughts began to sprout in the hearts of many grassroots officers and soldiers.

In the cabin specially opened for the fleet commander behind the bridge, several large bright candles illuminated the cabin brightly. Lieutenant Colonel Neville was sitting in front of his writing desk, writing quickly as he described in detail what had happened in the past two days.

A blood-eyed iron-winged falcon the size of a human head stood calmly on a bronze scaffolding next to Lieutenant Colonel Neville. Its sharp eyes sometimes swept over Lieutenant Colonel Neville, and sometimes it lowered its head to tear a bloody piece between its claws. of beef. The Blood-Eyed Iron-winged Falcon is one of the very few small birds that can fly freely in the storms of the North Sea. It is a must-have messenger bird for the Imperial Ministry and some military nobles, and is specially used to deliver certain important messages. , confidential official documents and letters.

The Blood-Eyed Iron-Winged Falcon not only flies extremely fast, but its own strength is also extremely amazing. An ordinary species can even smash the skull of a bull with a single blow of its wings. If it is some mutated blood-eyed iron-winged falcons, they can even spit wind blades from their mouths and kill some of the strongest large birds in the North Sea.

After writing quickly for a while, Lieutenant Colonel Neville raised his head and reached out to touch the Blood-Eyed Iron-Winged Falcon. Then he lowered his head and continued writing.

"Dear uncle, Lin Qi's words and deeds have been described in the previous article. Unlike his peers, he has extraordinary skills and abilities. Judging from his actions, his family should be in Dunerqi He has considerable financial resources and influence. It will be beneficial to the future of the family to be friendly with him. When the family elite is withering and the family's traditional interests are being invaded by other families, we need external support."…,

"We need support from the top of the empire. We need to have the top of the empire to speak for the interests of the family. Whether he is a civil servant or a general, we need support from the top. In addition, we need more supportive support. Force, manpower , financial resources! Especially financial resources, as I said to you last time, if our family still had the financial resources of the past, maybe I would already be a naval captain by now."

"I urgently hope that you can investigate the background and strength of the family behind Lin Qi as soon as possible and make a decision that best suits the interests of our family. Enclosed is a golden ticket for your activities in the Navy Department, and you can change my position as much as possible .”

"With my rank of lieutenant colonel, the commander of Dunerqi local garrison should be quite suitable for my status."

After writing this, Lieutenant Colonel Neville couldn't help but smile. Damn it, the commander of the patrol squadron was embarrassed to be the commander of the patrol squadron with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Isn't this because he failed to satisfy the greedy deputy minister of the Navy? Did he put himself in this unfortunate position because of his huge appetite? At this time, the commander of the Dunerqi local garrison fleet should be in the mansion, hugging his beautiful lover, drinking strong wine, smoking cigars, and planning the fleet training plan after the spring.

That's the treatment an Imperial Navy lieutenant colonel deserves!

Instead of walking around like a dog on the rough sea in the strong wind and snow. Eating frozen, stale beef, nibbling on stored fruit that was as frozen as ice cubes, drinking tea that was as black as ink, all day long facing rough men who never took a shower during the entire patrol. Soldier!

"I hope you can bring me good news. The family now needs an officer who holds real power and has an actual voice somewhere!"

"I wish you good health, and please say hello to Viviya for me. Just say that I think about her beautiful, goddess-like face every day!"

With a slight sigh, Lieutenant Colonel Neville glanced at the undulating sea outside the window, and added another paragraph on the letter paper.

"Please ask your old friends in the military to verify the military merits of Lin Qi, Enzo and me as soon as possible. If I have a considerable medal now, it will be of great help to my promotion and the reputation of the family. Helpful!"

Sighing again, Lieutenant Colonel Neville shook his head and tied the golden tickets and letter paper that Lin Qi gave him to the paws of the Blood-Eyed Iron-Winged Falcon with a metal cylinder specially made by the Imperial Army.

Opening the window, Lieutenant Colonel Neville released the vicious bird trained by his family.
