Chapter 206 Where to Land Is a Problem
Zhang Wei looked at Port Augustus in the north of Holy Deer Valley, which was the third closest port to them. Port Augustus was the actual control area of the Highland Dwarves. Zhang Wei suggested that they should just capture Port Augustus directly. If everything went well, it would take eighteen days or even longer to get from here to Port Augustus.
Lilith didn't say anything, but was shocked. She saw that Zhang Wei didn't seem to be joking, and suddenly felt that Zhang Wei seemed even more mysterious in her eyes.
Although Lilith and Zhang Wei had not been together for a long time, she, who lived on the edge of a knife, could still sense that the crew on Zhang Wei's ship were not merchant ship crew members at all, but more like navy officers with hidden identities, especially since these crew members could obey orders under the command of the first mate.
"Does he have the military backing him up?" Lilith hesitated but did not ask.
Instead, the Highland Dwarf slave looked at Zhang Wei as if he were an idiot. If he was not afraid that Zhang Wei would get angry and throw him off the boat, he would definitely mock Zhang Wei and ask what gave him the courage to propose directly capturing Port Augustus.
The Highland Dwarf slave didn't say anything, but his expression and eyes revealed his inner thoughts.
"Neither this nor that will work. The only port left is Dhaka in the southeast of the continent. It will take at least a month to get there. Buzau Port in the southwest will take at least ten more days, and we must first get to Dhaka to rest."
Zhang Wei used a ruler to measure the nautical chart. Fortunately, the nautical charts in this world are relatively easy to obtain, and they are all drawn in proportion. During this time, he was able to roughly estimate the wind direction, sea conditions, hull status, etc.
"Only by going to Buzau Port can we have the opportunity to go all the way north and look for the opportunity to go to the Holy Deer Valley." The Highland Dwarf Slave pressed his finger on Buzau Port in the southwest of the continent.
"And we have to go to the port of Libervi to handle the formalities first. Otherwise, the port of Dhaka is a military port and we can't enter for supplies." The Highland Dwarf slave reminded Zhang Wei that it is not so easy to enter the continent of Osroni.
"Then you better hide well and don't let your mortal enemy find you or they will kill you directly." Zhang Wei ended the meeting. After talking for so long, there was only one choice. It was such a waste of time.
A day later, Zhang Wei's ship "Orient" set out from Canterbury Port and arrived at Liberville Port two days later than expected after nine days of sailing.
When the Orient arrived near the coast, a warship from the Grand Principality of Naima that was patrolling near the port of Libervi came forward to inquire about the purpose of the visit. After learning that the Orient was registered in the Andaman Port and that it came here to open up trade routes, the boarding officer checked all the formalities and informed Zhang Wei that only the Port of Buzau in the Grand Principality of Naima was open to the outside world and could conduct trade routes.
If Zhang Wei still wants to open up a trade route with the Grand Duchy of Naima, he will need to take a pass and first go south to the Port of Dhaka for a short replenishment, and then go west to the Port of Buzau.
Seeing the serious look on the officer's face, Zhang Wei hurriedly smiled and handed over the "tea money". He saw that the officer was with three soldiers, so he gave one gold coin and nine silver coins.
The officer skillfully put the gold coin into his pocket and handed the nine silver coins to the soldier.
After each soldier received three silver coins, the looks they had originally given the crew and the deck turned into friendly ones.
The officer smiled and put his arm around Zhang Wei's shoulder, giving him some advice:
"Don't even think about the three ports in the north of the principality. No outsiders will be allowed to enter. I have an acquaintance in Dhaka Port. Take this token, and you will encounter less difficulties when the time comes." The officer said as he handed a small object to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei quickly put it away with many thanks.
Three minutes later, Zhang Wei stood at the edge of the deck, waving goodbye to the officers and soldiers who were leaving with a smile on his face. He put away his smile and walked into the captain's room until the other party stopped looking at him.
"You've given too much. This thing might be a token for people to continue to blackmail you, rather than a token that will allow you to pay less." Lilith reminded Zhang Wei that there was probably something wrong with the token, because she secretly saw the officer's expression in the room and it was obvious that he had met a "fat sheep."
"I know, but a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem." Zhang Wei said, and threw the token that he had just received with both hands onto the wooden table fixed on the deck, without any intention of cherishing it.
Lilith saw that Zhang Wei didn't care about the money, so she didn't want to persuade him anymore. She found an excuse to go out and left the captain's room.
Because the Navy of the Grand Duchy of Naima did not allow them to enter the port, they had to head to the Port of Dhaka without stopping.
Twenty-three days later, after a safe journey, the Orient finally arrived at the outskirts of Dhaka Port.
Zhang Wei stood on the deck, looking at the Dhaka Port that looked like a military fortress. He couldn't understand what the significance of the Grand Principality of Naima building the Dhaka Port into a military fortress was. However, Zhang Wei knew that there must be something wrong when things were not normal, and there might be unrest in this area.
Soon, three Principality warships surrounded the Orient. One of the warships lowered a small boat. Zhang Wei stood on the edge of the deck and watched the small boat slowly slide towards them.
When the boat arrived next to the Dongfang, Zhang Wei asked someone to throw down a rope ladder. Three people on the boat climbed onto the Dongfang via the rope ladder, one of whom was an officer.
The first thing the officer said when he saw Zhang Wei was: "Do you have a token?"
"Yes, yes." After hearing this, Zhang Wei hurried back to the captain's room. When he held the token in both hands, he found that the officer's hand was on the pistol at his waist, and the muzzles of the other two soldiers' guns were vaguely aimed at the crew members they thought were threatening.
It is obvious that these three people are in a state of war.
Zhang Wei pretended not to notice and still trotted over to the officer holding the token.
After the officer saw the token, his originally vigilant expression instantly relaxed.
"So we are brothers. Why didn't you say so earlier?" The officer took the token from Zhang Wei's hand, walked to the edge of the deck, and said to the officers and soldiers on the boat, "We are one family!"
The officer said, and threw the token onto the boat very accurately.
The people on the boat picked up the token, checked it, gave a gesture as if it was all right, and then slowly glided towards the warship they came from.
After waiting for a while, the battleship recovered the officers and soldiers on the small boat and then signaled the Oriental to follow them into the port.
"Don't run around and don't ask questions when you go in. After checking that there are no problems, I will tell you what to do next." The officer instructed Zhang Wei and his men to obey orders.
Zhang Wei smiled and stuffed a gold coin and four silver coins into the officer's hand. The officer accepted the gold coin with a smile and gave the silver coins to the two soldiers as usual.
After the Vostok docked at the berth as required by the army, a team of fully armed soldiers quickly boarded the Vostok...
