Chapter 7 Hunting for Enemies

In the afternoon, Xu Mo stood on the deck of the Vestalos, holding the ship's side and looking at the sea. As the second stormtrooper on the ship, it was his turn to be on duty on the deck during this time today.

The Baltic Sea in summer is long and the night is short. Although it is approaching the evening, the sun is still vicious, illuminating the vast sea in front of you. A few white clouds like marshmallows float in the sky, and the clear sky appears a faint sky blue. Although the blue sea water is connected to the sight, it can be said that the sea and sky are the same color, and there is no obvious difference between them.

At present, the sea is covered with a southeastern monsoon. The wind is not strong, the waves are only one meter high, and the ship speed is only 6 knots. The sharp bow of the Vistalos breaks through the waves, leaving a white mark on the sea surface. The waves split by the bow are unwilling to slap on both sides of the hull, causing the warship to sway left and right slightly. Xu Mo on the deck seems to feel like he has become a baby swaying in his mother's arms.

Just as Xu Mo felt the vastness of the sea and the sky, a childish voice rang in his ears: "Hisser Anderson, it would be better not to look at the sea for a long time, as it will affect your vision!"

Xu Mo was shocked and turned around and saw Blackney standing behind him. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Little Blackney, the sea view is so wonderful. I forgot that the sunlight reflected on the calm sea surface will damage your vision!"

"His Excellency Anderson, don't call me Little Blackney, you have to call me Your Excellency Blackney!" Blackney pouted in dissatisfaction. He was another alternate non-commissioned officer on duty.

"Yes, Lord Blackney, please forgive poor Alfred!" Xu Mo frowned and pretended to have a bitter face.

"Haha! Well, I forgive you!" Blackney laughed happily by Xu Mo's grimace, "Hisser Anderson, can you tell me about your knight training? Do you have to wear a heavy armor and then get on the horse and need four people to carry it up?"

"Ah? No, there are no cavalry with full-body knight armor now. Nowadays, cavalry use scimitars and muskets, just like our words..." Xu Mo tried hard to recall his pitiful knowledge of European history.

Although Xu Mo knew very little about the cavalry of this era, Blackney still listened with relish, with his expression unique to young people.

"Hisser Blackney, why do you have to fight on warships at such a young age?" Xu Mo's heart moved and asked Little Blackney.

"My grandfather was a general of the army, my father was also a navy, and my family was a navy family. I hope I could become an outstanding general in the future, just like Sir Drake of England." Blackney's eyes shined and he expressed his ideals.

"His Excellency Blackney, you will definitely succeed." Xu Mo encouraged meaningfully, "Okay, we should go on a patrol. Will we talk about it next time?"

"Of course, Lord Anderson, I'm glad to chat with you!" Blackney put on his triangle hat and touched the brim of the hat to salute.

Xu Mo also touched the brim of his hat, turned around and left, wandering around on the deck while patrolling. Suddenly, Xu Mo frowned, and he saw someone who surprised him a little.

The man knelt on the deck, rubbing the boat deck hard, and erasing the sweat dripping from his forehead from time to time. His young face was full of flesh. It was Heder, who Xu Mo had injured in Stockholm.

When Xu Mo saw Hurd, Hurd also saw Xu Mo, but Hurd obviously knew that the identities of the two had become superiors and subordinates, and did not lose their minds as they did when they were at the dock, and attacked Xu Mo desperately. He touched his forehead expressionlessly, saluted Xu Mo, and then continued to wipe his deck. However, during his actions, he tried a lot, as if he wanted to lay a layer of wood chips off the deck.

Xu Mo's eyes flashed. He had no hatred for this young man. He had hurt him before, just to allow Dinah to enter the fleet smoothly. However, since Hurd appeared here, it means that the tension between them might have to continue. I just don't know if he wanted to enter the fleet, gain some fame and wealth, and win Melsa's heart, or was instigated by others...

Just an ordinary person, Xu Mo quickly threw Hurd's affairs behind his head and walked to the main mast of the warship, with his eyes on the two people he was observing.

The two men were men and women, the deck sailors, who were rubbing the deck like Hurd. The women were sailboats, also known as sailboats, and were now sitting on the crossbar of the main mast to coordinate the sailboats. They were Selena and Yahan, and in addition to Xu Mo and Dinah, two other reincarnators on the Vistalos.

The two of them felt Xu Mo's gaze and couldn't help but speed up the movements in their hands. Xu Mo is the current officer on duty, and there was a little conflict with the two before. Regardless of whether Xu Mo is a reincarnation or not, they don't want Xu Mo to be caught and punished.

At this time, Dinah came out of the cabin to breathe and walked along the side of the ship. After seeing Xu Mo, she smiled and saluted. The two of them passed by without talking. However, in Xu Mo's soul mark, Dinah's communication came.

"Boss, I have already explored those two reincarnations with the eyes of reality. The perception of that man is very different from that of me. His strength attributes and physical strength attributes have reached about 25. Other attributes are below single digits. His talent ability has also been discovered. As you expected, he is a defensive talent mt. The female reincarnator's perception is similar to you. He is an agile reincarnator like you, but his attributes are slightly lower than you, and his other abilities are unknown."

"Well, very good. If they come to contact you on their own initiative and ask you to join their team, they will have a more ambiguous attitude and provide more information!" Xu Mo replied calmly.

"I understand! Boss, that female reincarnation person is probably a very rich man in reality!" Dinah suddenly said.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Xu Mo asked in a little surprise. He didn't see anything from Selena's actions.

"Hehe, boss, in terms of observation ability, you are far worse than me, a reporter. That woman is a sail cableman. Look at how many sail cables are on this warship? If you haven't been trained, how can you control it freely? Even if the character she possesses has the ability to drive sails, it will take a lot of time to adapt." Dinah began to educate Xu Mo with a smile.

"Yes, you're right. This woman should be very familiar with sailing operations in the real world. So, she should have worked on a sailing boat, and even owns a sailing boat. In addition to the small sampan, there is no doubt that most of the sailing boats in the real world are antique yachts. With such a yacht, this woman has wealth and status, tsk, it's amazing!" Xu made Dina's judgment.

"Hehe, boss, you have to be cautious when you want to go against her. Such a strong woman is smart. Be careful of capsizing in the gutter!" Dinah teased Xu Mo happily, "Ah, little Blackney is there, I'm going to go find this cute boy, boss, take it easy yourself."

Seeing Dinah running seriously to tease Little Blackney, Xu Mo was immediately amazed and crying.

Soon, night fell, and the sea breeze in the Baltic Sea began to strengthen. The temperature dropped, filling the sea with water vapor, forming a faint mist. At this time, Xu Mo had finished his rotation, but he was still in high interest when he went out to sea for the first time and accompanied Gerhardt on duty to patrol the deck.

Gerhart is a relatively old among the officers. Apart from the navigator Manuel, he is the oldest. He is 37 years old and was once a naval admiral in Hamburg. He retired due to an incident and was recruited by Hedram to join his fleet.

Gerha has a strong character, a rigorous style, excellent swordsmanship, and extraordinary leadership skills. However, he also has the usual characteristics of a Germanic officer, which is his serious and rigid expression and taciturn expression. Xu Mo accompanied him to patrol the battleship and turned around for two times, but he couldn't talk to him. He suddenly felt bored and left in shame, and took a single-tube telescope to observe the sea surface.

Suddenly, Xu Mo saw a faint light in the telescope, but there was no flash. Putting down the telescope, Xu Mo rubbed his eyes, and raised the telescope again to look in that direction. In the mist of the night, Xu Mo saw three yellow lights, but in the mist, they were looming and not very clear.

"Go and call Lord Gerhart!" Xu Mo stopped hesitating this time and immediately ordered the sailors beside him.

"It's the stern light, I'll issue a war preparedness alert!" The experienced Gerhardt only looked at the telescope once and immediately determined that the three yellow lights were the stern lights of a ship.

"Switch the rudder and keep up with it. You can't fight at night. Wait until dawn to see what ship it is, and we will make a decision." After the bronze bell of the war preparedness alert rang, Hedram soon arrived at the deck of the warship. "Well done, Alfred, this is the first time he went to sea and ocean. He should call you 'lucky Alfred' in the future."

"Thank you for your praise, Admiral, after dawn, please give me the first glory to climb onto its deck!" Xu Mo touched the brim of the triangle hat and saluted.

"Well, if it is determined that it is a merchant ship of the Hansar League, I allow you to lead the stormtroopers to seize the first prey for Vistalos and win the glory you deserve!" Hedram said proudly, "But now, our stormtroopers, you must go and rest first."

"Your Excellency, glory belongs to Sweden!" Xu Mo said with a smile, "I will take it back first!"

After taking a last look at the direction of the unknown ship, Xu Mo walked towards the cabin and felt a sense of excitement in his heart. He had never been a day like this tonight, longing for the arrival of dawn.

Perhaps, this will be the first naval battle in his life, belonging to the medieval sea knight war!

(The history of the earth's age referenced in this volume begins around 1612, and all the years before the British bourgeois revolution began in the fifth century AD to 1640 AD were medieval. Of course, there are many statements about the medieval period, and the mainstream statement is from the fifth to the fifteenth century AD.)
