Shura White Tiger in Navigation - Chapter 55
“That’s right, we should wait until the river is calm before setting off, that would be safer.”The captain in charge of shipping here suggested
“It seems that this is the only way. Safety first, you make the arrangements. Andre nodded and said to the captain.
“Yes.” The captain saluted in return.
“Have you ever thought about building a bridge over such a wide river? Then we don’t have to worry about the water conditions, which will be much more convenient. Rogers asked Andre
“It’s not that I’ve thought about it, but we have built a bridge before, which cost our Kingdom of Mok a huge amount of manpower and resources, but it was destroyed in the war half a year ago.”Andri said helplessly.
“By the Vampire Pirates?”
“Who else could it be? At that time, they wanted to bypass the inland river and attack Moku Town from both sides. Fortunately, we discovered it in time, otherwise Moku Town would be in danger. However, in that battle, the rebels were so angry that they blew up the bridge. We lost the best logistics replenishment route, which was disgusting to us.”Andri said
“Was the previous bridge here?”
“No, the remains of the bridge are a little further downstream, where the water level is a little shallower than here, making it easier to build a bridge.”
“Oh, that’s a pity. It should be difficult to build such a bridge.”
“Of course, if it weren’t for the high cost and difficulty of construction, we would have planned to repair the bridge, but we were worried that it would be destroyed by the rebels, so we gave up.”Andre spread his hands
“So that’s how it is. The existence of inland rivers is actually an advantage for pirates.”Rogers said, to put it bluntly, they lack the power to control the sea.
“It’s OK for our fleet to encounter the Vampire Pirates here, as we can defend ourselves. But if we encounter them in the open sea, it will be terrible.” Andre was a little distressed. Their fleet was indeed no match for the battle-hardened New World Pirates.
“Well, then when can we set off?” Rogers asked.
The big river looked magnificent, but it was enough to look at it for a while. It couldn’t be eaten. It would be better to go to the capital as soon as possible.
“It won’t take long. According to past experience, it will take at least half a day for the river to calm down.”Andre said
“”Okay, let’s wait a while.” Rogers said helplessly.
As Andre said, the river was roaring wildly all day, and it was much calmer on the morning of the second day. Although there were still some waves, it would not have any impact on the big ship.
Rogers and his team quickly boarded a big ship and crossed the river to the opposite shore.
The group continued on their way to the capital.
“Was the big ship just now built by our country?” Rogers asked Andre next to him.
“Yes, even though our country doesn’t have much of a shipbuilding industry, since the forging industry is well developed, developing the shipbuilding industry is just a side job.”Andrillo said with some pride
“To be able to build such a large ship, it must be more than 100 meters long, right? It’s amazing.”Rogers said sincerely
“Are you interested in ships like Nataya?” Andre asked in confusion.
“Well, I am interested. Rogers wants to go to sea, so of course he has to consider the issue of the ship.
“You don’t want to go to sea like Nataya, do you?” Andre glanced at Rogers suspiciously.
“What do you think? How about going out to sea? Rogers asked back.
“I don’t care. Going out to sea sounds good, but with the outbreak of the war, Nataya’s idea can’t be realized. At least we have to wait until the war is over.”Andre shrugged.
“”Yes.” Rogers nodded. He really had to wait until the war was over.
“If you want to know more about ships, you can ask Gulacis when you go back. His family owns the largest shipyard in our country, and he himself is an excellent shipbuilder.”Andre said
“Oh, Gulash… I see. Rogers took it to heart. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“We will go to the mine management office later to hand over the prisoners to them, and then go to the military camp in the capital to report. After that, we can move freely. Don’t miss it.”Andre introduced the next arrangements to Rogers.
“I remember it.”Rogers said it was no problem.
The group walked until noon before arriving at the capital.
A huge town located near the bottom of the mountain, with the mountain of the mine behind it, the palace of the Mok Kingdom on the mountain wall, and the houses of the town on the flat surface below, all of which were a bit retro Western style. Generally speaking, the closer the houses are to the mountain, the more luxurious they are.

The west side of the town is lined with factories, with chimneys spewing out smoke. A rough count shows that there are about thirty or forty chimneys.
The west side is not only where the forging factory is located, but also the entrance to the mine.
Rogers and his men’s destination is here, and they are going to hand over the captives here.
Before Rogers and Andre’s convoy arrived at the mine, someone came out to greet them.
“Lord Andre, and Lord Rogers, just bring the prisoners with you and we will check them.” The manager of the mine prisoner of war department was very kind.
“Hey, Higgs, you’re now an administrator.” Andre obviously knew this guy.
“The battlefield is too dangerous, so I can only do these jobs.”Higgs said helplessly to Andre
“Well, forget it, you are too small to handle it. I will leave the transfer of prisoners to you. Andre waved his hand at Higgs.
“What about you guys?” Hines looked at Andre.
Andre looked at Rogers.
“Huck, help with the handover. Rogers shouted to the back of the convoy.
“Yes.” Hake immediately ran out from the convoy behind.
Rogers was going to the capital and going out to sea, so how could he not bring his little brother Hake with him? He also wanted to go out and see the world.
“”Okay, you and I, and the captives, follow me.” Higgs said skillfully.
The two of them received the captives, and one by one they stepped into the gate of the mine with a gloomy look on their faces. They all knew what they were going to face, but they didn’t have the courage to die. It was better to live than to die.
“Can I go in and take a look?” Rogers looked at the weapons forging factories.
“It’s not possible now. The factory is strictly managed and is separate from the military. We are in different systems, so it’s not very convenient. Wait until later, Sister Nataya will take you in and it will be fine.” Andre shook his head.
