"BOSS, don't worry too much. Blackney is more familiar with this world than any of us. He shouldn't have anything wrong with him!" Dinah's comfort came from the team channel.

"I know, I didn't receive any news of the death of the team members. He probably had encountered some trouble and didn't want to drag the team down, so he left the team by himself. He didn't want us to give up the overall plan to find him!" Xu Mo leaned against the side of the boat and sighed faintly.

"Admiral, there is a boat on the sea!" Wood's shout came from Xu Mo's head. After the last naval battle, this newly promoted second-level Y space transfer finally let go of all distractions and began to serve the Vasa with concentration. He also sent his subordinates to reach a mutual assistance agreement with Max, agreeing to work together on the Vasa and share the benefits of the naval battle mission.

"What kind of ship is it?" Xu Mo raised his palm to cover his eyes and looked at the sea in the distance.

"It's a Spanish ship, admiral, do you want to issue an alarm?" Wood shouted a little excitedly.

"No, no need!" Xu Mo changed his mind and shook his head, "I have seen the coastline. It is less than three nautical miles away from Amsterdam. The sound of cannons will attract interference from the Dutch Navy fleet!"

The Kingdom of the Netherlands, dubbed by the world as the coachman on the sea, consists of more than a dozen federal principalities. Because of the special national policy of trade and religious freedom, and the decline of the Habsburg dynasty in Spain, Amsterdam also slowly replaced Serbia in Spain and became the center of world maritime trade.

Since the death of the Spanish hero Philip II, the successor Philip III has no longer been able to siege the reborn Dutch Kingdom from both sea and land, and the external trade environment of the Netherlands has also been greatly improved. However, due to the particularity of the state's political system, the maritime coachman did not develop a marine beast - a battleship for high-intensity naval battleship, and has always favored the Flanders sailing ship, which is both military and business.

For the major states in the Netherlands, the cost of building battleships alone is too high. The privateer fleets of other maritime power powers in the world are also open to Dutch merchant ships because of Amsterdam's special status. Their only threats on the ocean are those pirates who are like lone wolf hunting on the oceans. And to deal with scattered pirate ships, the fully armed Flanders sailing ships are enough.

The current Dutch naval fleet is also composed of these Flanders sailing ships. Although on the ocean, these armed sailing ships can only become appetizers for the Vasa, no one dares to challenge the Dutch naval fleet on the sea of ​​Amsterdam's ports. Any ship that hinders the free trade of Amsterdam will be torn apart by them like wolves.

Xu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the Spanish ship opposite carefully. Due to the distance, he could only see the general hull clearly, and there was no way to know the specific situation on the ship. This ship is very similar to his Vasa, and it should be a battleship, but the hull is smaller than Vasa. Judging from the gun door on the side, there are only two layers of artillery decks, about 40-50 artillery pieces.

In fact, the design of the three-layer artillery deck of the Vasa is not mature. Most of the 36-pound cannons on the bottom have been removed in Stockholm, leaving only a few, so the actual combat firepower of this ship is very close to that of the Vasa.

The Spanish battleship also has three-masts, but its stern tower is higher than that of the Vasa. The square stern has a semi-hanging cabin that extends backwards. This design allows the hull to move the center of gravity slightly backwards and the bow has a flexible steering ability. However, in artillery battles, the rear bridge will also become the key target of enemy artillery, and the pros and cons can only be tested by actual combat.

The Spanish warship opposite had obviously discovered the Vasa, and carefully adjusted the route slightly, maintaining a distance of about 500 yards from the Swedish battleship, passing by in parallel.

"Hey, the admiral of this warship is a redhead!" Wood shouted in surprise from the top of the mast.

With the booming development of the Great Navigation, it is actually not uncommon for female seafarers, such as Christina, who is superb in swordsmanship, and Lilu, a business genius of the Agoth Chamber of Commerce. However, Christina is the captain of the stormtrooper and Lilu is the president of the Chamber of Commerce. They cannot be regarded as real warship admirals.

Although this era is already relatively open and free for women, female admirals are still rare, especially the admirals of a powerful warship.

"Redhead?" Tie Lilie walked over from behind Xu Mo with a frown, "Alfred, I seem to have heard of this woman!"

"Oh? Is she very famous?" Xu Mo turned his head curiously and looked at Tie Lilie with interest.

"This woman should be Caterina Elandz. She was originally a Spanish naval officer. However, after a naval battle, in order to avenge her brother and lover, she snatched a newly built battleship in Spain and became pirates with a group of seafarers under her. Now she is wanted by the Spanish government!" Tie Lilie shrugged and told the rumors she had obtained.

"Red-haired female pirate?" Xu Mo blinked and turned his head to look at the opposite side again.

...

When Xu Mo was observing the Spanish warship, there were several people on the other side looking at this side. The most conspicuous among them was a heroic red-haired girl. The woman was wearing an admiral suit, a white sailor shirt, and a black leather pants on her lower body. Her bright sky blue pupils exuded a sharp look that was blocking people from thousands of miles away.

Although her long red hair is somewhat similar to Christina, compared with the sexy and charming English beauty, the Spanish female admiral's facial lines are more rigid and has a heroic neutral beauty. Her temperament is somewhat similar to Elise, the black widow who has passed away.

"Catrina, it seems that the Swedish battleship is not ready to go to war with us!" A fierce blonde man stood on the left of the red-haired pirate, and was retracting his gaze from the Vasa at this time.

"This is Amsterdam's sphere of influence, and of course they will not start a war rashly!" Katerina said lightly, "Speed ​​up the ship and left this sea area as soon as possible when entering the port for supplies on Swedish warships. I don't want to fight a bloody battle with the 'North Sea Silver Eagle'!"

"Katrina, how do you know that the admiral of this warship is Hedram?" asked the blonde man in confusion.

"I have seen the Vistalos in Serbia. Compared with the Vistalos of the 'Judge' Gerhart, the warship is much larger, and it looks exactly the same as the legendary Hell God. The person on it is likely to be the 'North Sea Silver Eagle' himself!" Caterina smiled and turned to a young man on her right and asked, "Blackney, do you think so?"

The young man's eyes flashed with a splendor, he turned his head stubbornly, and replied hard: "I don't know!"

"Haha, little guy, do you look quite cute when you are angry?" Caterina reached out and rubbed his little head hard despite the boy's resistance, "I said that I found the merchant ship of the Farrell family and let you go!"

It turned out that on the way to Amsterdam, Blackney wanted to join the team early in Amsterdam, so he kept hiding in the bar in the port, hoping to find a merchant ship that could carry him to sea.

During these days, Blackney met a young admiral, John Farrell of Portugal, and his companions are currently sailing adventures around the world in order to pursue their dream of sailing.

John was born into a big family, and his father, Leon Farrell, was the Duke of Portugal, Prime Minister and Minister of Navy. Blackney also came from a great noble family. His same origin, similar age, and common sailing dream made the two teenagers appreciate each other and became friends in less than two days.

When he learned that Farrell's merchant ship was different from the Vasa, in order to avoid meeting with the team and to prevent friends from getting involved in the bloody battle between the Reincarnation team, Blackney politely declined John's invitation to board the ship and chose to stay in Amsterdam and wait for Vasa.

During a brief interaction for a few days, John Farrell showed him a treasure map of the Mediterranean, and the two also exchanged a lot of views on the treasure map. However, shortly after Farrell's merchant ship left, unexpected things happened.

A Spanish battleship followed John's movements and came to Amsterdam. The person who came was naturally the red-haired pirate Caterina. According to rumors, Caterina's brother and lover were killed by an armed merchant ship of the Farrell family, and Caterina came to seek revenge on John.

I learned at the tavern that John Farrell had left, and the only person who knew his course was Blackney, a close friend John had just met. The red-haired pirate immediately hijacked the Swedish boy and forced him to find Farrell's merchant ship for himself.

Under the siege of many pirates, Blackney had to surrender. He originally wanted to use Vasa to escape, but after seeing the Spanish battleship at the port, the steel boy immediately changed his mind. Although he had heard of the power of Vasa in the team channel, the battleship in front of him was also extremely powerful, comparable to the Hell God that he had shelled himself.

After boarding the ship, many experienced sailors and several well-trained Spanish naval officers around Caterina made Blackney quickly realize that if he notified his position to the Vasa, the old K regiment would most likely encounter an unplanned bloody battle.

Blackney didn't want the old K-Team to be dragged down by this matter, and he would rather face this dilemma by himself. Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, he took the initiative to leave the team to avoid letting his companions sharing the map know his current situation.

The Swedish admiral on the opposite side was definitely not Admiral Hedram, but Alfred! Blackney smiled and let the Vasa slide past him, and even quietly hid behind Katerina, so as not to be seen by his sharp-eyed companions.

Goodbye, friends!
