The situation near Conason Island was tense, and every day ships left the island to listen to the information of Marquis Boris's fleet outside, and there were also ships that went out to reconnoitre, and the news brought back by the scouts was collected and passed on to Count E, who gave orders for the immediate battle.The inside of the island seemed to be tense every day, and in the past two days, there were many scouts coming and going in and out of the island, and Count E's face became more and more ugly day by day.Privately it was rumored that Marquis Boris had sent a fleet of fifteen Galen-class galleons to be stationed on Conason Island, so that Count E's bent desire to recover Conason Island immediately came to naught.The people on the island panicked, and a sense of anxiety about having no home to return began to breed on the island, and some people went directly to Count E, asking him to go out of this coral reef in a sailing ship and fight to the death with the fleet of Marquis Boris Marquis who was roaming near Conason Island, but all those who thought of this idea were scolded by Count E, and rushed back to the island to be confined.Since the island has fresh water, life has become much better.I never have to worry about not being able to find something to eat at the beach, but there was no fresh water before, and the food fished out of the sea was salty, even if I was hungry, I didn't dare to eat more, and the salt I ate in my stomach could not be metabolized, and it was easy to die of dehydration.But with fresh water, all this is no longer a problem.We also carry some wheat flour on our boats, and the wheat cakes are brought to the island every day.There are also tentacles on the hind limbs of the Mok fish monster like an octopus, I discussed it with Noah, and took out some of it and transported it to the island, this kind of meat of the primary sea beast, although it can't improve the physique after eating, but in terms of recovering physical strength and energy, it is much better than ordinary food, and I didn't transport all of these meat back to Xinliu Valley, but sealed a part of it with ice and left it on the ship.At this time, it was taken out and supplied to those wounded soldiers on the island, hoping that their bodies would recover as soon as possible.And I spent every day busy, but I didn't expect that Countess É was a woman who was roughly proficient in the art of medicine, and that she had been on the island in charge of treating the sick and wounded.My joining, not only brought the water magic hydrotherapy to the wounded barracks, but also brought a batch of hemostatic bandages, which made the treatment work in the wounded barracks a huge turnaround, many injuries and diseases hovering on the line of life and death, I pulled back from the door of death, and Countess É could finally see a smile on her face.Noah and I have gradually begun to be loved by the islanders, all of whom are Duke E's men, and the strong men are his warriors, and some of them are family members, and our participation has given the island a new lease of life.It's just that I found that the Countess E, who is quite respected by the islanders, is not very willing to deal with Noah, and she can avoid Noah every time there is an occasion, and I guess this countess is also a person with a story.I stayed on the island for two days and finally figured something out.The first thing is why the houses here are built on coconut trees, those tree houses are trembling on the coconut trees, and there is a soft ladder under each wooden house, although there are some inconveniences up and down, but all the wooden houses here are the same, the wooden houses are in the sea breeze, with the coconut trees swaying in the air.It turns out that this is an island, and at high tide, it will be completely submerged by the sea.This island was originally formed by the silt and sand of the coral reef group, but this coral reef has grown a coconut grove for some reason, these coconut groves have been growing in the sea, but the island is gentle, only one or two meters above the sea surface on average, at high tide, the sea water can just submerge the entire island, only a coconut grove is exposed on the sea.All the huts are very cleverly built, and when the tide is high, the water has just reached the bottom of the huts.
The legs hang outside, just enough to reach into the sea, like a house floating on the sea.As for the coconut shells hanging under the coconut trees, in fact, in order to be able to catch some rain when the rain comes, the island is extremely short of fresh water, bitter rain is also a precious resource for the islanders, but when it rains, and then ready to collect, it is too late, it is better to make some preparations early, so some coconut shells are hung on the coconut trees by ropes.However, the cauldron that boiled salt on the beach was not boiling salt, but a very inefficient seawater still, which relied on boiling the seawater, and the water vapor passed through a thin iron tube, and after the water vapor was slowly cooled in the pipe, it condensed into small droplets, which slowly converged and flowed out of the pipe wall.I have tasted this kind of fresh water distilled by this soil method, which can only be said to be salty and lightened seawater, and further distillation is required to get pure distilled water.All in all, the coral reef island, which has no fixed land, does not have enough resources to feed the people in Count E's fleet, so this is only a temporary refuge, and Count E's original plan is to quietly wait for Marquis Boris's fleet to slowly withdraw from Conason Island, after all, he needs to mobilize some military forces to conquer the lords on the other islands.At that time, Count Ey, with his warriors, will retake Conason Island on a sea ship.However, the plan has now run aground, and the scouts who went to sea have heard information that Marquis Boris has sent a new fleet to Conason Island.On the morning of the third day, Count E. sent for Noah and me to discuss matters on his ship, and Noah and I vaguely knew that Count E. had made a new decision.The dinghy leaned against the side of the boat, and Noah and I climbed up the soft ladder to the big ship, and then, under the guidance of the sailors, we came to Count E's council room, which was already full of people, these officers were probably the captains and first mates of the seven ships that Count E. docked in the deep waters next to the island.They were arguing in the conference hall, and it seemed that there was still a lot of controversy within them about some things.Count E's brows were furrowed, standing in front of a huge chart, his eyes were covered with some subtle red bloodshots, but his hair was still meticulously combed behind his head, and the whole person was like a crusader sword, all the edges were hidden in the scabbard.Seeing Noah push the door and walk in, the conference hall became quieter, Count E beckoned Noah to come to his side, and there were no polite words, and he directly told Noah his battle plan, our three sailing ships are also part of Count E's battle plan, I have to say, this is a very bold plan, putting me and Noah in danger.However, I could not find any reason to refute it.It was a great migration at sea, and Count Eyre finally gave up on the idea of recovering Connathan Island in the short term, and decided to sail with his fleet to more remote seas, and look for islands with living conditions, which must have abundant fresh water, lush vegetation, and no fierce beasts to watch.However, such a feng shui treasure can no longer be found on the chart of Eti, at least in the Etia chart, and if you want to find such an island, you must sail to the area outside the chart of Count Etia to try your luck.At this time, it was not the Age of Discovery when Duke Mensa led his army to colonize the Vaschi plane, those habitable islands had already been clearly marked on the chart, and each island had a lord, but I didn't know where Marquis Boris's next target would be.If we want to make a great migration at sea, this battle plan must be successful, otherwise once our fleet is targeted by Marquis Boris's fleet, it will be difficult for us ordinary five-masted galleons to get rid of those Galen-class sailing ships on the sea.After Count Ey's battle plan was finished, his eyes fell on Noah, and the captains around him fell silent, and for a while the hall became silent, and the focus of his eyes fell on Noah's, he scratched his head a little unnaturally, and then turned to look at me and asked, "What do you say, Jiga?"
”I knew that Noah had made up his mind at this moment, and such a relaxed expression meant that he basically agreed with Count E's plan."
What is there to say, do it!"
I said to Noah and clenched my fist and bumped into Noah.Noah said to Count E, "We will complete the plan. ”At this time, the atmosphere in the conference room became relaxed, and the captains gathered around Count E, and began a new round of discussion.Noah and I stood next to the charts and listened carefully to Count E's account of the waters around Conason Island, the places that could only be approached at high tide, and the places that were still very good waterways even when the tide was low.Then we took a closer look at Conason Island City, where Count Eyre had worked hard for more than twenty years, and knew everything about the grass and trees in this island city, and Noahmer and I remembered every word Count Ey's words, and even the additions of the captains on the side.Walking out of Earl E's conference room, Noah stepped into the dinghy and asked me, "Jijia, how sure do you think we are about the plan made by Count E?"
”I smiled faintly and said to him, "Don't worry, we'll clean it up no matter what's in the way, won't we?"
”"Of course, it's just that at night, Ying Li and I stood on the deck of the Slave Trader, watching the Belan sail into the darkness in front of us, followed by the Shirley, and the Slave Trader still falling behind.Sailing at night, and in the sea full of coral reefs, our ship did not dare to raise its sails, and the sailors on board ran to the oars room, lifted the huge wooden oars more than 20 meters long and stretched out into the sea, the sailors shouted trumpets, and pushed the huge oars together, and the big ship slowly sailed out of the coral reef island.Conason Island is not really an island city, it is a large island with an area of several square kilometers, and there is a small crater on the island, but the whole island has been completely covered by dense vegetation, only the highest part of the crater, because there are a lot of volcanic rocks, which are not suitable for plant growth, so some of the rocky parts are still exposed.Conason Island City was just like a cliff next to a cliff, and from a distance it looked like a castle on a cliff, only to find that it was not a castle on a cliff at all, but a huge city surrounded by a sea cliff, and on that cliff there was this unusually gorgeous lighthouse.The lighthouse is connected to some of the dwellings on the sea cliffs, and from a distance, it looks like a city on a cliff.There is also a huge forest outside Conason Island City, this forest is very rich in vegetation, and the plant species are far more than that of Coral Reef Island, and there are some small beasts such as hares and moles in the jungle on the island, and it is a paradise for some birds.Conason Island harbor is anchored with two Galen-class galleons, in addition to seven five-masted galleons, these warships seem to be the last force guarding Conason Island, if the plan goes well, the main fleet here should leave the harbor at noon, they are looking for the clues deliberately left by Count E's fleet, and chase them into the sea.As for the number of warships left on Conason Island, it was less than one-fifth of the entire fleet, it was entirely because those rebel scouts found that Count É had dispatched all the sailing ships all the way to the south, and since they were pouring out, the rebels stationed on Conason Island naturally would not deliberately leave their strength on the island.Because we hid in the waters near Conason Island after entering the waters near Conason Island, these rebels did not know any information about me and Noah's three slave trading ships, so when our ship approached Conason Island silently in the dark, those rebels kept it in the dark and knew nothing about us.Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Noah and I quietly landed on a shallow unguarded shoal with three sailors, and with their water-walking skills, the reef was so thick that we could easily find some hidden spots.This time Noah and I brought out three hundred sailors from the ship, and only a few dozen sailors were left on the ship to guard the ship, and Ying Li took Helena and Becky, Jacques, and Joan to stay on the ship, and they had to cheer up and watch the three ships for us, so as not to take advantage of our absence, the sailors on the ship to rebel and sneak away in the three ships.And Noah and I sneaked ashore with the Minotaur Ruka, Karantso, Katerina, Miss Cherry, the Rand Knights and his constructed knights, and Captain Just, who led the way, and a dozen of his men, and some wanted slave traders.Probably these 300 slave traders never imagined that one day, they would sneak into the island for the sake of what some people see as justice, and they would land on Conason Island in order to rescue the families of the warriors in Count E's fleet.When these slave traders were on the side of justice, and then looked at the rebels stationed on the docks of the harbors, these outlaws actually had the urge to fight.The first mate on the Slave Trader was lying behind a sea rock beside me, he looked a little excited, holding a sharp red-bladed scimitar in his hand, and smiled at Karan Cuo beside me, with some flattering meaning in his eyes, and said: "Chief, if you want me to say, what city are we rushing to, you must not know how high the walls of Connathan City are, if you want me to say, we might as well go directly to the docks and grab their ship, I haven't sailed such a big Galen yet!"
”The sailors on the side chimed in.Karan's knife-sharp eyes swept over, and suddenly, the noise fell silent, and only the sound of the waves could be heard all around
