Time Travel: Age of Discovery

Inside the cabin, Sakaski stood in front of the desk, holding a conch in his hand, his expression extremely solemn.

A voice from Sora came from the other end of the conch, saying, "Sakaski, this transport of 'Sky Gold' is extremely important. This important task is entrusted to you. Remember..."

Hearing the words "gold from heaven", Sakaski's heart couldn't help but shudder.

In an instant, the first person who came into his mind was the late Roy.

I hope I am just worrying too much.

Although he was full of doubts, Sakaski did not express them directly to Kong, because he knew very well that he only needed to follow orders and not make any assumptions.

"I'll follow your instructions." After saying that, he hung up the conch and took a deep breath.

At this moment, the thought he had just had was still lingering in his mind, making him feel a little confused about his state of mind.

Why did I suddenly remember this matter? Could it be that I am deeply concerned about it?

Entrusting me with this important task should be a recognition of my martial arts skills. I should be fearless and have no doubts.

With this in mind, Sakaski ordered the ship to change course and proceed to the designated location for the handover. "Pass the order down, mission changed, sailing to the North Sea."

He spoke to his adjutant, then stared at the map on the table, as if he had realized something.

"Hmm? General Sakaski, we still need to hand over the supplies we just seized."

"..." Sakaski pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Send a message to the naval base on the next island to temporarily store the supplies and then replenish them."

"As ordered!"

The adjutant took the order and left, but he also knew that the journey that followed would be difficult.

Seeing this situation, he naturally understood Sakaski's intention, which was to march quickly.

While examining the map, Sakaski breathed a sigh of relief.

After a rough calculation, it is expected that this trip may be able to start a little earlier than originally planned.

"Mission comes first in everything." He murmured, looking at the rough sea outside the window, frowned slightly, and then walked into the wheelhouse.

In a moment, the warship's speed increased sharply, and it disappeared in the sea area in an instant, heading straight to the north.

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Residence.

There was a mountain of documents on the empty desk. He seemed quite anxious at the moment, flipping through one document after another in his hands.

Placed in the middle of the desk is a summary of the investigation report on the last "Gold in the Sky" incident.

There is a cigarette butt in the empty mouth, the ash is long, and the ashtray is full of cigarette butts.

For the past few days, Kong had hardly had a good rest. He always felt bitter and inexplicably irritated in his heart.

Until the nearly burnt-out cigarette butt was extinguished in the ashtray, Kong sighed softly and rubbed his temples, his fatigue evident.

I stood up and walked to the window, looking at the distant scenery, thinking to myself.

CP0's words echoed in his mind again and again.

"It's okay to tell you. The items loaded on this ship are precious amber and lead offered to the Celestial Dragons. I'm sure you already know where they are."

As the Admiral of the Navy, how could Kong not know the meaning behind CP0's words - amber and lead treasures that can only be produced by "White Town" Frevans.

Kong had long been aware of the Frevans affair, but if this batch of goods was indeed the last batch of precious amber and lead as CP0 said, then this matter might be far more difficult than he expected.

Even if he saw the truth, the matter already implicated the World Government, and even if he was extremely reluctant, Sora couldn't intervene. Therefore, the words left by CP0 before their departure filled him with rage, and he slammed the table in anger to vent his anger.

At this point, Sora glanced at the blue sky and sighed deeply.

This kind of situation is normal in all things in the world.

However, if this was the sole reason, the Navy had already dispatched a strong force, but why did they specifically send a Chinese naval officer to handle the handover? Could there be some hidden reason behind this?

Kong didn't want to dwell on it any further at this point; he could only hope that the matter could be properly handled.

Otherwise, the consequences may be difficult to deal with.

"Sakaski is certainly reliable, but it might be safer to add an extra layer of security just in case."

Sora muttered to himself, returned to his seat, and picked up a document from his desk.

"When the time is right, we will make plans."

……

The North Sea is the sea area close to the Red Earth Continent.

Located on the edge of the North Sea, it is very convenient to reach the doldrums and other sea areas.

At this moment, the three warships led by Sakaski were anchored in a line on the sea, as if waiting for something to happen.

Today the sky in Beihai is gloomy and covered with dark clouds, making people feel depressed.

Sakaski stood on the deck, silently gazing at the sea in the distance.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared on the sea level in the distance, rushing towards the sea where they were.

"Everyone on alert!"

Even after the scouts confirmed that the incoming fleet was a friendly one, Sakaski did not relax his soldiers' vigilance, which was his usual style.

It was not until the four ships of the other side approached and completed the docking signal that Sakaski confirmed the identity of the other side.

A man in black stood on the bow of an enemy ship, shouting towards Sakaski.

"General Sakaski?"

Sakaski frowned slightly and responded.

Unexpectedly, this person used the Moon Step to leap onto Sakaski's warship and nodded slightly to Sakaski.

"The items you need to hand over are on that large ship," the black-clad man pointed to the largest of their four ships and said to Sakaski with a stern expression. "According to the pre-established plan, you will cross the Calm Belt, then use the New World Channel, and finally reach the Holy Land. Your mission will be accomplished."

Given the current location, this is indeed the shortest and fastest route. However, after analyzing the nautical chart, Sakaski began to doubt this route.

Crossing the doldrums is not a big deal, but the journey must then pass through the New World, which undoubtedly greatly increases the risk factor.

The dangers of the new world are unpredictable, so Sakaski believes that this route is not suitable and decisively rejected the other party's proposal.
