Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World Chapter 203

In the waters outside Fulan Port, the "Hope" is performing a patrol mission.

After Quick served as the captain of the "South", the captain of the "Hope" was replaced by Yarman. Captain Yarman was very excited to be able to command this illustrious warship.

The "Hope" has not been in service for a long time, and there is no damage in previous battles with pirates, it is almost a new ship.

Now Captain Yarman is carefully inspecting the deck after the sailors wiped it on the deck.

He walked from one end of the deck to the other in a pair of white cloth socks, without shoes.

After walking back and forth several times, the captain took off his socks and found that the soles of the socks were still as white as before, so he nodded in satisfaction.

Yarman announced loudly: "Today's deck cleaning work is over."

The sailors around breathed a sigh of relief, and each picked up buckets, brushes, mops and other cleaning tools.

"Captain, there is a situation!"

The lookout on the mast shouted suddenly.

Everyone on the ship was on alert immediately, and the gunners ran to their running positions one after another to deal with emergencies.

Arman yelled to the lookout, "What do you see?"

"A ship, a suspicious ship is coming towards us, not a civilian ship, but a full-sail ship."

Someone on the deck asked: "We should be the only ones patrolling at this time, could it be... could it be Nanfang?"

The only full-sail ships known to them hitherto were the Navy of Arda.

The telescope held by the watchman has not been lowered, and he has been staring at the suspicious ship in the distance.

"I don't know if it's Nanfang, but I still can't see clearly."

There were sailors on deck who didn't take the lookout's words seriously.

"Really, who else is there besides Nanfang? It's too cautious."

"To shut up!"

Yarman sternly reprimanded the sailor, frightening him into a smart body, and immediately stood at attention and waited for the captain's next reprimand.

"The price of carelessness may be the life of the entire ship. I don't want to hear such careless words in the future, do you hear me?"

The captain's roar was like thunder.

The sailor moved his right foot to his left and replied loudly: "Yes, Captain!"

Yarman immediately issued an order: "The gun crews are on their positions, the helmsman, seize the upper wind!"

As the two ships got closer, the two sides finally saw each other clearly.

"It's Nanfang, it's really Nanfang!"

The watchman's voice was full of surprise, and he saw clearly the flag flying on the mast of the ship in the distance—the flying dragon flag of the Greiman family.

Immediately a burst of cheers erupted from the deck of the Hope.

"Come closer to the Southern, helmsman! I really miss that **** Quick."

Captain Yarman happily issued new orders.

"We're home!"

The deck of the Nanfang was filled with excited shouts.

Today is December 25th, and it will be a new year in a few days. Nanfang set sail on November 11th. After nearly one and a half months of sailing, it finally returned to the Northwest Gulf.

But it is a pity that they still failed to arrive at the Northwest Bay before Advent Day, and in order not to miss the New Year in a hurry, all the staff had to spend a very memorable day at sea.

They also spotted the Hope on patrol in the distance.

Since most of the people aboard the Nanfang had served on the Hope, seeing it was like seeing their own brothers. The signal soldiers on both sides exchanged semaphores endlessly with the help of binoculars, and other sailors asked the signal soldiers to convey their own semaphores. greetings.

"Everyone is very excited to see things in their hometown."

Seeing the cheering sailors all over the deck, Xie La couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, after all, no matter how good a foreign place is, it's not as important as the place where you were born and raised."

Her daughter, the female advisor Ladi, responded somewhat sentimentally to her mother.

"Mom, will you blame me for letting you follow me and leave home?"

Xie La smiled and shook her head, she reached out and stroked her daughter's long hair.

"Don't say something inexplicable, haven't I said it before? Our home is where you and I are."

"Thank you, Mom."

The female consultant was a little choked up, and Xie La hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"It will be a joke if people see it."

The Nanfang and the Hope finally met, and the two sides could hear each other's calls through the loudspeakers.

"Quick! Are you still alive, bastard?"

"Yarman! I'm fine, but you haven't gotten into the shark's belly yet."

The captains on both sides held the big horns and greeted each other.

The people on both boats laughed loudly, and the sea was full of happy sounds.

Then the Hope and the South sailed one after the other to Port Flanders.

"Congratulations, Captain Quick! You have finally completed the task entrusted to you by the lord."

Xie La came to Quick's side and congratulated the captain.

After so many days on the ship, she also inquired about the affairs of the Earl of Arda.

This ship named "Southern" shoulders the task of opening up a new route ~www.mtlnovel.com~ to prepare for the large-scale maritime trade between Northwest Gulf and Jiaowan in the future. It looks like that Paul · The Earl of Greyman is a man of hard work.

"Haha, same joy, Madam Setia, you can live with Ladi Xiaojie in the future, avoiding the pain of separation."

"Yes, this child was an adventurer before, and he often didn't return home. Now he has finally settled down. Although he is in a strange place, it's better than not seeing anyone for a long time."

Quick became a little hesitant, as if he was thinking about something.

Mrs. Setia saw his expression and asked, "Does the captain want to ask me anything?"

"Uh... I do have a question in my mind. But I don't know how to say it."

"Haha, Captain, just speak out if you have anything to say."

Quick made up his mind and said in a low voice: "Lady Setia, to be honest, I used to be a pirate. Later, I was captured by Earl Greyman, and he allowed me to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. Then I joined the navy and became a captain all the way. .”

"So, I'm quite familiar with pirates, so...so..."

"Haha, you want to ask about this tattoo on my arm?"

Xie La rolled up the sleeve on her arm half way up, revealing a symbol on her arm - a strange skull.

"Uh... yes, although the shape is a little strange, but the skull is a general symbol of pirates, and seeing how you went to look for Ladi Xiaojie in the forest north of Nissberg at Nantian night, you don't look like an ordinary housewife."

"The captain is really careful to observe."

Xie La smiled and said openly: "Indeed, I was indeed a pirate before."
