The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Today is a special day!

Because today, the transport fleet will deliver immigrants and supplies to the Antilles for the first time, which marks the official start of human exploration of the Antilles!

As the general manager of the [Anglican Islands Immigration Plan], Soren is well aware of the extraordinary significance of this operation and therefore attaches great importance to it.

So early in the morning, Sauron rushed to the port from Seagull Castle and took command on the scene!

At this moment, the berthing area of ​​the port of Ganise City is densely packed with more than 100 ships, like stars in the sky, which makes people sigh!

Among these more than 100 ships, large transport ships are the largest in number, with a total of 73 ships; followed by medium-sized capsize ships, with a total of 34 ships.

These ships will be evenly divided into three transport fleets, each fleet will be equipped with nearly 24 large transport ships and 11 medium-sized cap ships!

At the same time, each transport fleet is led by a captain who is skilled in driving and has rich sailing experience and is appointed by Soran himself. They will shoulder the responsibility of commanding the transport fleet!

Because the port on the Antilles side has not yet started construction, that natural port cannot accommodate too many ships!

Therefore, in order to reduce the possibility of ship jams, the departure and arrival times of these three transport fleets must be staggered and separated!

Only by doing this can we improve efficiency and ensure a steady supply of people and supplies to the Antilles!

The leader of the first transport fleet to set off was Magellan, who had been to the Antilles to carry out an expedition mission!

Because he had experience in sailing to the Antilles, Solon specially appointed him as the general manager of the first fleet.

The transport fleet led by Magellan is undoubtedly the largest in terms of the number of ships among the three transport fleets!

There are 25 large transport ships and 12 medium-sized cap ships in the entire transport fleet. The numerous ships connected together look majestic and powerful!

Among them, 20 large transport ships are mainly used to transport people, and each ship can accommodate about 60 people [Note: excluding the 20 boatmen and a captain responsible for rowing].

Thus, Magellan alone could transport 1000 people to the Antilles.

The remaining ships are mainly used to transport various daily necessities and survival development tools.

These materials and tools will play a vital role in the subsequent development of the Antilles, and they will provide solid material support for the new territory.

…………

At this moment, the port of Ganise was bustling with activity. Porters were busy loading all kinds of supplies onto the ship, and soldiers were organizing immigrants to board the ship in an orderly manner.

This first batch of immigrants had been carefully selected and counted beforehand.

Because the early large-scale development requires a large number of laborers, all of them are strong and healthy young laborers.

Most of them are strong fishermen who are good at swimming, in addition to some skilled construction workers and experienced farmers.

Officials of the city of Ganise initially forcibly conscripted or recruited them on the pretext of construction projects.

Then they were taken to the blockaded port and forced to board the ship without any explanation, and at the same time threatened them with their families to prevent them from escaping!
