Chapter 774 New World (End of Volume 6!)
7 days later——
On a certain sea, on the deck of the Hyperion.
——Today is still a cloudy day...
Moode, standing on the deck of the Hyperion, frowned and looked at the gloomy sky above his head.
It has been 7 days since he escaped from the storm.
During these 7 days, Moode led the four ships, including the Hyperion, and ran straight to the east without stopping, day and night.
The ocean is located to the west of the Britannia Empire, so as long as you keep running east on the sea, you can always encounter the coast of the Britannia Empire.
Even if you can't reach the coast of the Britannia Empire, you can still reach the coast of the Holy Hilan Empire or the Rolin Empire.
Therefore, Moode has always believed that as long as you keep running east, you will definitely be able to go home.
But after these 7 days, Moode feels more and more strange.
Not only did he not encounter the coast for a long time, but the surrounding seas were... weird.
The surrounding seas are very unfamiliar.
On the fifth day, Mude finally couldn't sit still anymore.
He began to wonder if he was going in the wrong direction.
But no matter how Mude checked the only steering wheel in his hand, it showed that Mude and his team were going in the right direction, they were heading east.
Then Mude began to wonder if his steering wheel was broken...
In the vast ocean without any reference points, if you want to tell the direction, you can only rely on two things.
One is the steering wheel whose needle always points to the south.
The other is the sun.
Mude and the people around him knew nothing about the manufacturing principle of the steering wheel, so there was no way to directly disassemble the steering wheel and check whether there were any problems with the parts inside.
Therefore, at present, the only way to check whether the steering wheel was damaged was to look at the sun in the sky.
If they were heading in the direction of the rising sun, then their direction was correct.
However, since the end of the storm, every day has been cloudy and the sun cannot be seen.
Therefore, Mude can only wait and pray anxiously.
Waiting and praying for the sun to appear early.
After waiting and praying until the morning of the 8th day, the sun finally appeared after a long absence.
After learning that the sun finally rose today, Mud ran to the deck without stopping.
When he went up to the deck and saw the red sun in the sky, Mud felt dizzy and almost fainted on the deck.
Because the slowly rising sun was right behind his fleet...
These days,
they always thought they were heading east.
As a result, they were actually running straight to the west!
This fact was so shocking that the elderly Mud almost fainted on the deck.
Those who can become naval soldiers basically know how to rely on the sun to tell the direction.
After seeing the long-lost sun, the soldiers on these ships, including the Hyperion, showed despair.
They have been running straight to the west stupidly these days...
Now the supplies stored in the ship are not abundant, and the remaining supplies in the ship are not enough for them to return.
Just when everyone was in despair, Mude, the commander-in-chief of the navy, stepped forward in time to boost everyone's morale.
After discovering that they had gone the wrong way, Mude also fell into despair.
Mude was a knight who had experienced many battles after all. Not long after falling into despair, Mude quickly regained his composure.
After calmly judging and analyzing their current situation, Mude thought that they were not yet completely desperate.
Relying on the few supplies left on their ship, it was definitely not enough for them to return to the east and return to the Britannia Empire.
The only way at present was to continue heading west!
Continue to move westward and see if you can find an island that can replenish supplies before the supplies are exhausted.
After obtaining sufficient supplies, return to the east and return to the Britannia Empire.
In short, it was a gamble on luck.
Bet that there is an island in the west that can replenish supplies.
This is the only way in this desperate situation.
It is better to try this ray of hope than to sit here and wait for death.
The soldiers on each ship could only cheer up and continue to sail westward.
…
…
They continued to sail westward like this…
Originally, their supplies were only enough for them to use for 10 days.
But due to their thrifty use, the supplies that were originally only enough for 10 days were used for 13 days.
Then from the 14th day, they fell into a food shortage crisis…
Everyone was hungry and drifted on the sea for another 2 days and starved for 2 days.
Finally, on the 15th day, a miracle happened…
…
…
The 15th day since Mud and others escaped the storm and began to head west.
On the deck of the Hyperion, Mude, whose eyes were green with hunger, leaned against the mast with a look of sorrow on his face:
"Am I going to die here...die on the vast ocean..."
"Why am I so unlucky...I haven't even participated in the reward meeting for the counterattack against the Holy Hilan Empire..."
"Why am I so old and still have to suffer such misfortune..."
"It's too much, it's really too much...Why is my life so unfortunate..."
After saying that, Mud began to recall his unfortunate life and covered his face with his hands, wanting to cry but unable to.
At this moment, Blaise's excited shout suddenly reached Mud's ears:
"Mud! Look! There is an island ahead!"
As soon as Blaise finished speaking, Mud quickly put down his hand covering his face and looked forward.
On the horizontal line in front of them, there appeared a patch of blurry shadows mixed with green and brown.
That was the shadow of the island!
Mud's excitement was rekindled.
Because of excessive excitement, Mud even began to dance:
"Quick! There is an island ahead! Go full speed! Go full speed!"
Mud and Blaise were not the only ones who were excited and ignited the fire of hope in their hearts.
Under the influence of the desire to survive, everyone forgot about fatigue and hunger, and began to paddle at full speed, rushing towards the island ahead.
After gradually approaching the island ahead, Mud realized that the area of the island was really not ordinary.
No matter which direction you look in, you can't see the end of the island.
Mud and his crew were lucky. When they approached the outer edge of the island, they saw a shoal suitable for landing.
Everyone, including Mud, was starving and just wanted to get to the island as soon as possible and find something to eat.
After the Hyperion dropped anchor first, Mud took the lead and jumped off the ship first.
Mud, the first to land, stepped on the soft sand of the shoal.
He left a big, very obvious footprint.
Mud, the first to land, became a Britannian... No, the first person to set foot on this land among all the people on the other side of the sea...
Mud's footsteps were just a small step for Mud, but a big step in the history of the Britannian Empire.

"I've heard a lot about you! Mr. Bankro, I am Kong Nan, the patriarch of the Ryan family."
"I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Kong Nan, I am Bankro. I won't waste any more time, this is the money our Britannia Empire government wants to borrow from you."
…
"Isn't the area of this island a little too big..."
…
"Hey, Mude, how long will it take us to find the natives of the New World if we search like this?"
…
"Captain, I'll be frank, is it really okay to let Deng Jiaer be the vanguard?"
…
"Su Cheng's subordinates are really full of talents and generals."
El sighed.
"This Deng Jiaer is also a famous general who should not be underestimated."
"The use of cavalry is admirable."
As soon as El finished speaking, the adjutant beside him said anxiously:
"Sir El! Now is not the time to express your admiration for the enemy's ability? Now there is no one in front who can stop Deng Jiaer! Deng Jiaer and her cavalry are coming soon! Let's run away quickly!"
"Yeah, that's true."
El nodded.
"No one in front can stop Deng Jiaer."
"But if Deng Jiaer continues to charge like this, it will not be a solution. This will cause great damage to the entire army."
"There is no way..."
El looked a little distressed and raised his hand to scratch his hair.
"Let's fight Deng Jiaer here."
