The dark clouds were covered with lightning, and the thunder was rumbling in the depths of the ocean. The slender rock headland was like a sharp sword and penetrated straight into the seabed, shaking the rock headland, and the waves were shattered! The sailing ship was rising and falling in the wind and waves, looking so small and fragile.

The fleet led by Li Jinde and others came to the storm corner at the southern end of the African continent. The sea was stormy and the waves were terrifying, making the entire fleet scared from the captain to the sailors.

Even the sailors on the Sailing Battleship of the Crown Prince who passed through the Storm Corner for the fourth time were carefully sailing in the wind and waves. The captain of the battleship looked solemn, and he prayed in his heart that the storm in the depths of the Arctic Ocean would not spread here.

"God bless, God bless!" The sailors grabbed the fixed objects around them tightly, looked at the place where thunder was rumbling in the depths of the ocean, and kept muttering to themselves.

Storm Corner is not a good stubborn! It is located in the strong westerly wind zone, with the warm current of the Mozambique in the Indian Ocean and the cold current of the Benguera current from Antarctica waters converging nearby. There is no continent as a barrier. The winds are extremely strong all year round, and the sea conditions are even worse when the weather is not good!

If it is clear sky, the fleet may be able to pass through the storm corner without any danger, but if it encounters a sea storm here, with the fragility of the sailing ship, the entire fleet may be destroyed!

"Haha!" The noble Earl of Compton was vomiting while holding the wooden barrel. The huge wind and waves made the sailboat sway and tilt greatly. He had never experienced such a harsh situation.

"More than a hundred years ago, Captain Dias of Portugal encountered great storms in this sea area while exploring a new route, which almost wiped out the entire fleet. Finally, the huge waves pushed the surviving ships to the headland, and their fleet survived. We are likely to encounter a worse situation than that time. Although our current sailing ships are only huge and strong than the ships that were more than a hundred years ago, if we encounter a real sea storm at the corner of the storm, it is like a moth to the flames..." Captain Royal Prince's face turned pale, and he was obviously extremely uneasy.

Earl of Compton walked over with a wooden barrel in his arms and staggered: "When we came, the Cape of Good Hope was sunny and the blue sea was spectacular. How can we return to the storm."

"It is probably the assessment given to us by God. I hope that the storm in the depths of the ocean will not affect the Cape of Good Hope, and there will be no killing waves. If we encounter the killing waves, we will not be able to return to Britain." The captain almost cried in his tone.

A captain fighting a Spanish warship on the Atlantic Ocean, the Pirates of the Caribbean were so frustrated that the Earl of Compton realized the seriousness of the problem: "What is a killing wave?"

"A very terrible wave, when it is weak, it is 20 feet high, and when it is strong, it is 50 feet or even higher. The wave head is like a cliff, and the back of the wave is like a slow hillside, which can easily swallow passing ships. Diaz went to the Cape of Good Hope several times, and finally died in this sea area during a voyage. It is said that his fleet encountered the common "killing wave" in the Cape of Good Hope. Not only that, according to some captains' records, there will also be spinning waves nearby, making it difficult for ordinary ships to escape..." The captain said the dangers of the Cape of Storm, which made Earl Compton look disgusted.

"How can I do anything good to deal with this situation?" asked Count Compton.

"Only by leaving this sea area as soon as possible, the rest is to pray to God." said the captain.

A group of Chinese businessmen, including Li Jinde, were tilted around due to the bumps caused by the strong wind and waves, and their faces were pale.

"I will encounter tigers after going up the mountain. This time I will suffer a lot. How could there be such a big storm!" Some businessmen who had not passed through the Storm Corner said it was not good.

Li Jinde was also worried about his current situation. He had been to London City once and returned to China under the escort of the other party's ship. This was his third time to pass through Storm Corner. However, when he passed Storm Corner twice before, it was sunny and the wind and waves could still bear it, but this time it seemed that he was in danger of encountering a storm.

If you really encounter a big storm at the Storm Corner, let alone fifty or sixty ships, even a fleet of hundreds of sailing ships will be useless in the face of huge storms that seem like natural disasters!

"Mom, Salina and Ying Er, I guess I'm sorry to you. If you die here, it might be God's tricks. I have let down the expectations of the military leader. This is an investment of more than one million silver coins. Will it all be in vain?" Li Jinde was prepared to fight against the wind and waves in the face of the danger that might come at any time.

The Fourth Fleet led by Sun Xu, Ruan Youjin, Ruan Youyi and other naval officers also encountered unprecedented tests since the establishment of the Fourth Fleet. They had not encountered such complicated sea conditions before training in the offshore areas of Lushun Wei!

"The sea is really intimidating. In such a bad situation, I'm afraid that our Fourth Fleet will be destroyed shortly after it was established..." Sun Xu, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, sighed quietly, and the waves shattered on the bow of the ship splashed on his face.

Now the storm in the depths of the ocean has not arrived yet. The waves caused by the strong wind at the storm horn have made the battleships sway. White waves splashed on the deck, and many sailors' military caps were taken away by the huge waves.

If the Fourth Fleet had not yet been established, it was destroyed by the storm before it was established, and Sun Xu became the most cowardly commander of the fleet in the history of Jiuzhou military, a captain who was buried in the sea after his first long-distance voyage.

"Everyone is fixed and don't walk around the deck at will! The storm has not arrived yet, and the current big waves will not overturn the ship!" The naval officer issued an order to let the naval soldiers and sailors perform their duties to deal with the possible storm.

With the current storm, this fleet of more than 60 large sailing ships is impossible to get rid of the place if they want to sail, and they dare not risk the risk of hitting the reef and forcefully docking.

If there were no ships, they would have to be here as savages waiting for rescue for some time. Moreover, there were supplies, gunpowder, and iron tools on the ships. Whether they could survive in the barren land of Storm without supplies is still a question.

The deal with the Fourth Fleet calmly, the merchants and sailors on the trading ships of Western companies seemed to be in a hurry, and they didn't know if they could escape this disaster.
