Infinite Bloodcore

Chapter 437: Section 224: Morning Prayer of Justice

Morning.

The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps’ fleet was sailing on the sea.

The bow was cutting through the waves, with the white sails billowing fully.

In the distance, the boundless deep blue sea and the pale blue sky reflected each other, and under the sea breeze, the sailors felt refreshed and delighted.

Good weather brought more than just good moods.

When sailing at sea, it meant the most important thing—navigational safety.

Two mercenaries stood at the railing, one of them throwing a wooden board into the water.

The board was tied to a rope and immediately slid toward the stern upon hitting the sea.

The rope was dragged by the board, continuously being let out.

This rope wasn’t ordinary, it had been prepared in advance with many knots, spaced evenly the distance between each was 23 feet 7.5 inches.

The other mercenary held an hourglass in his hand.

The hourglass completed its flow in 14 seconds.

Soon, 14 seconds passed, and the sand had fully streamed through.

The mercenary counted the number of knots released along the rope, finding there were 11 knots with a bit of extra distance.

With this data, they immediately ran to the captain’s cabin to report to the Dragon-man youth, “Squad leader, our current speed is 11 knots.”

The Dragon-man youth nodded, letting them leave.

He continued to bury his head in the desk work.

On the desk were laid out ordinary sea charts, a standard compass, a Star Guide Plate, and various other nautical instruments.

“11 knots…” The Dragon-man youth dipped a quill into some ink, made some calculations on parchment, and finally marked the fleet’s position and current heading on the ordinary sea chart.
