Translations for conquest in French

Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:

I was greatly elated with my new command, and pleased with the bright, sunshiny weather and these different prospects of the coast. I had now plenty of water and good things to eat, and my conscience, which had smitten me hard for my desertion, was quieted by the great conquest I had made. I should, I think, have had nothing left me to desire but for the eyes of the cockswain as they followed me derisively about the deck, and the odd smile that appeared continually on his face. It was a smile that had in it something both of pain and weakness—a haggard, old man's smile; but there was, besides that, a grain of derision, a shadow of treachery, in his expression as he craftily watched, and watched, and watched me at my work.

J’étais tout transporté par mon nouveau commandement, et je prenais plaisir au temps clair et ensoleillé et aux aspects divers de la côte. J’avais désormais de l’eau à discrétion et de bonnes choses à manger, et la superbe conquête que je venais de faire apaisait ma conscience, qui m’avait cruellement reproché ma désertion. Il ne me serait plus rien resté à désirer, n’eussent été les yeux du quartier-maître, qui me suivaient ironiquement par tout le pont, et l’inquiétant sourire qui se jouait continuellement sur son visage. Ce sourire contenait un mélange de souffrance et de faiblesse… comme le sourire hébété d’un vieillard ; mais il y avait en outre dans son air un grain de moquerie, une ombre d’astucieuse traîtrise, tandis que de son coin il me guettait et me guettait sans relâche, au cours de mon travail.
