The seventh largest military port in the Western Continent, it is a deep-water port belonging to the Tulip Empire, facing the boundless West Sea. It has been one of the most important bridgeheads three hundred years ago.
The World Government and the Tulip Empire have three fleets stationed here. In addition, this is the only way from the West Sea to the North Sea, a central station for merchant ships, and a distribution center for commerce. It has a large and prosperous population.
As a bridge connecting the two continents in the northwest, the constant traffic of caravans and frequent privateering incidents along the coast forced the government and the empire to invest a large amount of armaments. Only the prosperous commerce of Pavarotti Port could fill the gap between the three branches.
A large amount of military expenditure for the fleet.
At noon.
Captain Gaspar is leading his team on routine duty at the guard tower at the port.
The sun was shining brightly today, and the sea was not too windy, but Captain Gaspard's mood was not as good as the weather.
"My lucky lady!"
Gaspar, who was originally in charge of the trade port, was transferred to guard the gate because he offended the interests of some people. Even if the weather was good, he could not suppress the bad breath in his heart.
"Those worms and vampires." While venting his anger, he used the telescope in his hand to observe the sea in the distance.
The windless sea, the calm sea surface, the unchanging scene, and the warships coming from a distance.
The towering hull, three huge masts at the front and rear, and countless hidden design gun ports under the deck. Under the action of the jib filled with wind power, it quickly sailed towards the port. The white sail body marked the two huge "worlds"
Text.
Dang, Dang, Dang, Gapaz knocked on the bronze bell next to him.
The continuous ringing of bells attracted the attention of everyone in the port, and the crowd began to talk one after another.
Soon the warship appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Under the leadership of the navy leader, the ignorant young people in a foreign land filed down and followed the team silently, without anyone making a sound.
Aibian saw a strange environment in the team. After gathering at the port in the morning, he was brought here.
No one told them where their destination was. If those people were wearing navy uniforms at the time, Abian would have thought that all of them were deceived into becoming slaves. Abian felt relieved when he saw the land underground.
The team soon arrived at their destination, a towering, majestic military fortress. The main body of the masonry structure had long been covered with green. The discharge port hidden in the dark pointed to the trading port in the distance. There were artillery marks everywhere on the wall.
There are traces of guards patrolling the high walls in an orderly manner.
This is a fortress that has endured battles for a long time. Abian thought to himself as he looked at it.
The navy team led the handover at the entrance of the fortress for a while, and Abian finally entered.
Under the curious gaze of the fortress, the crowd came to the training ground deep inside. The navy leader signaled everyone to wait where they were before leaving.
Abian looked around and saw that there were not many young people traveling with him, about 30 people. This was all the people recruited in the four port cities.
It's not that the number of people joining the army is small, but that the government's requirements are too high.
The daily job of the navy recruited by the empire is to patrol the country's coastline. The fleet with a slightly more powerful combat capability is only used as a frigate for the caravan. As long as they can swim without getting seasick, it is enough.
But the government is different. The original intention of countries around the world to invest in forming governments is to deal with the increasingly frequent piracy incidents. Not all countries can afford the expensive maintenance fees, and a single ship does not have enough force to maintain peace.
Only one country has proposed establishing a world-class violence agency to deal with rampant piracy.
The government has also fulfilled this task perfectly, so those who can join the government navy, among other things, must be able to fight and run. This high requirement has also led to a long-term shortage of manpower in the government navy.
However, the strength of the government's organic fleet is often several times that of the Imperial Navy, so the government has always followed the route of elite troops.
Time passed slowly like this, and Abian and his party had been under the sun for four hours.
Under the strong sunshine at noon, people began to collapse from dehydration one after another. No one dared to leave at will. Abian knew that this might be a trial.
Seeing his crumbling body, he tried to use the breathing method in his dream. A trace of heat began to appear throughout his body, and his brief appearance also moisturized his dry body, supporting Abian to continue.
I pursed my chapped lips and practiced the breathing method for 2 hours. Even relying on the special effects of the breathing method, I still felt exhausted.
In addition to Abian, there were two other figures still standing beside him. The other teenagers had already fainted and been taken away.
The three people on the field were still struggling. Aibian's competitive character did not allow himself to fail, squeezing every part of his body's strength and relying on the body he had trained non-stop for three years to endure until the end.
After seeing the two people walking together falling down one after another, they could no longer hold on and lost consciousness.
In a dark room in a hidden tower outside the field, several old men in military uniforms nodded while looking at the performance of Abian and the others on the field.
"These three are all good seeds."
"Well, these three people should be included in the observation?" one of the white-bearded old men asked.
"Well, let's take another look and decide."
Silence began in the room again.
After regaining consciousness again, Abian found himself in a strange room. The last two people were also in the same room with him, and neither of them had woken up.
There was a neatly folded black training suit on the bed. Although I didn't know what the outcome of today would be, I still managed to stay.
Looking at the darkness outside the window, Abian suppressed his thoughts.
Three years of hard work finally came to fruition today, and they were one step closer to revenge. Thinking of this, the two people next to them also woke up.
The two of them sat up suddenly, looked around quickly, and relaxed their bodies when they found Abian who was walking with them.
"They have very sharp reflexes. They seem to be good players." I thought after seeing the reaction of the two people.
One of the two people asked: "I remember you were the last one to fall. Where are you?"
Abian shook his head and said he didn't know either.
"We must have passed the trial and are still at the base. I saw those who fell before were also carried away by other marines." Another person said.
The three of them all agreed with this statement and began to inquire about each other.
"My name is Kapuswang Trikanshi, the son of a blacksmith." said the person who spoke out first.
Abian looked at Garp across from him. He indeed looked like a blacksmith, with curly brown hair, a body taller than himself, huge arms thicker than an adult's thighs, and a waist as wide as a bucket. If he wasn't so immature,
With his face, Abian thought that the person in front of him was a middle-aged man.
"My name is Skalyka. I am a hunter." The last one introduced him. After saying that, he and Garp looked at me, waiting for me to introduce myself.
"Well, my name is Abian Howard, and I'm just an ordinary person." Abian, who has lived in seclusion for three years and seldom gets along with his peers, feels a little embarrassed.
The three of them slowly started chatting in a familiar manner. To be more precise, it was Garp and Scar who were chatting, and Abian was listening to their chat. In this way, the first day of the three of them at the base ended. Who?
