Demon Royal Family

Ivo purchased thirty-six crossbows from the shipyard owner and loaded them on the Palatine sailing ship, with a focus on combat. He also purchased a large number of standard crossbow arrows, with a total of 800 rounds, enough for a small-scale naval battle.

After the sailors from the shipyard docked the Palatine sailing ship at the Changfeng, it was already evening. The sailors on the Changfeng returned to the ship drunkenly and looked surprised when they saw the brand new Palatine sailing ship.

Ivo took a tour of the Palatine and was satisfied.

Yamo walked up to Ivo with a flattering tone, "Captain, have you bought a new boat?"

Ivo nodded lightly.

Yamo chuckled and said with a shy face: "Captain, I think I am qualified to be the captain of the new ship." Every ship must appoint a captain to lead the ship's work, and Yamo set his sights on the position of captain of the new ship. .

Ivo glanced at him and said unceremoniously: "New crew members will join soon, it's none of your business."

"Who is so unlucky..." Yamo was stunned and accidentally said what was in his heart. Seeing Ivo's face darken, he immediately covered his mouth with a sneer on his face.

Ivo snorted and refused to argue with him.

After this group of rogue sailors discovered that they were safe as long as they didn't offend Ivo, they returned to their ruffian nature and behaved laxly except at work.

After waiting on the ship for a while, Hades, who purchased supplies, and Barlow, who recruited sailors, returned, bringing with them about sixty sailors of various shapes, none of whom looked like good people at first glance.

Arriving on the ship, Barlow pointed at Ivo and said to the newly recruited sailor: "This is the captain."

"Hello, Captain." The new crew members responded sparsely, all looking at Ivo.

Ivo glanced at it and was quite satisfied with the energy of this group of sailors, and said: "Anyone is allowed to give opinions on my ship, but there is only one rule. No one is allowed to be lazy or disobey the captain's orders."

The sailors were in a commotion, and someone said angrily: "Hey, what will happen if you violate it?"

Ivo smiled slightly and said calmly: "Then don't blame me for throwing him into the sea to feed the fish."

The sailors laughed instead. They were all veterans and had experienced various captains. They had heard this sentence so many times that no one took it seriously.

Seeing that this group of new sailors did not take Ivo's words to heart, Yamo and others standing aside gave the new sailors sympathetic looks.

Go ahead and laugh while you still can.

"May I introduce myself, my name is Aganzuo, I am a sailing adventurer..." Ivo started to tell lies.

At this time, a deep voice interrupted Ivo's self-introduction, "Forrest Gump? I have never heard of this name."

A slender middle-aged man came out, wearing a dusty and tattered captain's uniform. His hair was as messy as a chicken coop. It seemed that he hadn't taken care of it for a long time. He looked very depressed. He was the person who spoke.

Ivo had noticed him a long time ago. The aura of this middle-aged man was very different from that of a sailor. He had the dignity that can only be cultivated by someone who gives orders. The dust on his face could not hide his shrewd eyes.

Ivo narrowed his eyes, "Who are you?"

"I, Gordon Eagle, others like to call me 'Captain Eagle'!" The middle-aged man straightened his back.

The sailors looked surprised and talked a lot.

"It's the famous navigator!"

"Why is he here?"

Ivo raised his eyebrows slightly, Yamo looked at him with a look of disdain, and immediately introduced him: "Gordo Igo is a famous navigator. He is quite famous in the navigation industry. He has discovered several undersea treasures. , has more than twenty years of sailing experience, and is one of the few outstanding captains who can easily sail through crazy waves."

It turned out to be a slightly famous captain, Ivo knew it.

Goldo frowned and said, "I've never heard of you, so you can only come from other sea areas."

Ivo smiled slightly, "Why can't I be a novice captain?"

"Impossible." Gordon said decisively, pointing to the Changfeng at his feet, "The traces on the hull are the history of navigation. I observed the hull before boarding the ship. There are obvious traces of water erosion on the bottom, indicating that it has experienced The long voyage, coupled with the polished hull scars, can be concluded that it has experienced naval battles, so you cannot be a novice."

Ivo's eyes lit up and he glanced at Goldot, "Then what is your intention in bringing it up?"

"Since you are coming from another continent, this voyage will definitely take a long time," Gordon said solemnly, "I hope to get more rewards."

"Tell me."

"When the voyage is over, I hope to get a new sailboat," Goldot said. "My old boat sank in a shipwreck."

The sailors were in an uproar. This was far beyond the normal hiring standards for sailors.

Ivo didn't care, and said: "I can afford a sailboat, I only care that your value is enough to get this reward."

Goldo pointed to the Palatine sailboat and said solemnly: "I can command that ship for you. I believe that an experienced old captain can make you feel more at ease than an ordinary sailor."

"Okay, I will appoint you as the captain of the Palatine." Ivo made the decision immediately without saying a word.

Ivo was so decisive, which shocked Goldor. He thought he would have to spend more words to convince Ivo. After all, recruiting another famous captain to command a ship alone is a taboo for every captain. There is a risk of the ship being taken away at any time.

Goldo said in surprise: "Aren't you worried that I will steal your ship?"

"Of course I'm not worried." Ivo smiled faintly, at most he would just spend more time killing people.

The new sailors looked at each other and mentally labeled Ivo as "easy to talk to" and "easy to trust others." To ordinary sailors, a captain with these qualities is very good. But to these ruffians, scoundrels, and oily sailors, such a captain is synonymous with weakness, and they look down upon him.

The new sailors prefer to work under Goldo. Compared with Forrest Gump who came from nowhere, the famous old captain is undoubtedly more reliable.

Recruiting Goldo was an unexpected surprise, and Ivo quickly allocated the manpower to the two ships. Hades and Barlow were on board the Paladin, while Ander stayed on the Changfeng to make soy sauce.

In addition to Goldot, there are several outstanding talents in this group of sailors.

A one-eyed dragon gunner with superb skills and a very high accuracy when using ship warfare weapons, far exceeding that of ordinary sailors.

A pair of twins with very strong personalities and bodies, they are very skilled boatmen.

After the work was assigned, the two ships set sail and officially headed for Hokuriku.

…

After several days of sailing, the fleet gradually moved away from the continent of Odin, and the sailors on the two ships quickly became familiar with each other.

On a calm sea, the two ships sailed side by side. Goldo commanded the ship with ease, and the work on the ship was arranged in an orderly manner without any mistakes. Ivo was very satisfied with this.

Compared with the Palatine, the sailors of the Changfeng were a little passive in their work. They seemed to think that Captain Forrest was easy to talk to. Some new sailors were lazy at work, and some were drunk while cleaning the canvas. Vomit stained the canvas and deck.
