Extraordinary Sailing
Chapter 27: Small species: impact conch
Open the silver flip cover, in the middle of the complicated mechanical dial, a green jewel-like hand rotates slowly with a continuous click, and then slowly stops at three o'clock.
"First level combat readiness, three o'clock direction, artillery ready!" Geer's command resounded throughout the ship.
Alvin, although I can't figure out what happened, he dared not speak casually at this time. There is no distinction between uncles and nephews on the ship during the war, only subordinates and superiors. If he misses the opportunity because of his own mouth, even if Geer does not punish him, Ivan will not forgive himself.
Ivan is not clear, but it does not mean that other officers are also not clear.
"It turned out to be a sea monster! How can there be sea monsters willing to come over in a place like offshore?" the navigator wondered.
"The sea monster's pointer is too inaccurate. We can only confirm their existence based on the sea monster's unique sound waves. It is impossible to tell what level it is." The chief steer gripped the rudder and carefully adjusted the course of the Silver Wing, complaining.
"In places like offshore, it is a good luck to encounter small sea monsters about 30 meters in size. How can there be large species? Not to mention giant species that are rare in the deep sea.
And thanks to the fact that we were once a member of Tier 4 battleships, otherwise even the sea monster pointer of this precision would not be issued, so let's be content! "The chief mate saw the most open. He who is in charge of the logistics on the ship naturally knows how rare a sea monster pointer is.
The first officer, the navigator and the steering commander were also standing beside Captain Geer. They all saw the cue from Geer's strange machinery and discussed with each other.
The officers obviously experienced more wind and waves and were not nervous. They were just a little curious about how sea monsters living in the deep sea came out on the offshore channel.
Ivan heard it strangely, this kind of sea monster rumors still remained in the category of the story for him, even if he hadn't touched it during the recruit training.
What he didn't actually understand was that all kinds of mysticism involving the hidden world were taboo knowledge that was jointly restricted by various secular countries and churches.
Because mysticism often involves power, just like the knight training method, without the corresponding basic knowledge and the guidance of a leader, the consequences of wanton exploration of the unknown are often disastrous.
The danger of the knight training method is not too great. The most serious consequence is that when the knight advances, he completely loses his mind and is controlled by the violent body, turning into a beast.
While hurts myself, it doesn’t hurt too many others.
And among other strange and indistinguishable mysteries, it is not uncommon for them to hide the prying eyes of a terrifying evil god. It is conceivable that once this power is out of control, it will cause irresistible terror to descend, and it is not impossible to drag an entire city to bury it.
The family inheritance is dying, so that except for the core knight heritage, Ivan did not get too much mystical knowledge hidden in the depths of the world, and the Leo steward would not teach him such temporarily useless knowledge at the time.
In the naval training camp, this is not something new recruits should be exposed to. When they really need to face this level of mystery, most of them are already at least the crew or even officers of Tier 4 battleships, and they have a lot of time to get from their predecessors.
Therefore, since crossing this world, Ivan has not seen much sailing technology and technology beyond the contemporaries of previous generations, except for the power of extraordinary knights.
Until now, he didn't feel a little bit in a strange world.
Then his first thought was:
"Wow! The first battle of the new recruits is to fight the sea monsters, I'm great!"
"coming!"
Ignoring the discussion behind Geer, he found the trace of the sea monster for the first time. After all, this big guy did not hide his consciousness at all.
Along with the sound of huge splashes, a huge conch taller than a house crashed into the sea and appeared in the field of vision of a group of people.
The black snail shell with metallic luster in the cold, the long dark blue tentacles dancing under the water are constantly stirring the sea, and the huge size beyond common sense is simply shocking the world!
just appeared.
The sea monster with the appearance of a large conch spouted endless sea water from behind, and it accelerated instantly, like an invincible siege hammer, smashing it at high speed with the momentum to crush the Silver Wing.
was so surprised that Ivan only now imagined what happened to the merchant ship. I can also realize how desperate they were before being hit by a "siege hammer" larger than a house on the sea!
"Confirm that the type of sea monster is a small species "impact conch", the gunner’s starboard artillery set fire! Fire!" Geer is worthy of the battle-tested former battleship captain, quickly confirming the type of sea monster, calmly commanding artillery attacks. The powerful lung capacity of the knight rank made his command thunderous, resounding through the entire warship.
"Received! The distance is 0.5 nautical miles, the target is directly in front of the conch and fires!" The gunner's shout immediately sounded, and the crew of the artillery crew didn't need to think, just follow the command of the officer.
Perhaps this sea monster has no experience in fighting human warships, and the chosen attack angle is exactly in front of the warship's unilateral ship's side, which can maximize the power of the ship's artillery.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
Amid the roar of continuous artillery fire, orange-red flames pierced the sea. In the first round of a salvo of twenty artillery, most of the howling solid shells fell in the sea water around it, only three of them fell on its conch shell, making a huge roar like a metal impact!
Aiwen saw that the sea monster had small fragments of conch shell falling down, and its speed was also reduced.
The shelling works! Sea monsters are not invulnerable!
Geer is still composed, and I don't know how many similar scenes have been experienced. Although the sea monster is the true ruler of the deep sea, it refers to the "giant species" or even the "son of the sea god". This small species can still be dealt with with the artillery on the battleship.
If the command is not withdrawn, the shelling will continue.
After another round of salvos, five shells hit the sea monster at the same time like a divine help. Even the heavy shell on its body was damaged and the body was injured. The sea monster did not know where it was hiding. A shrill cry.
"嘤——!"
Even if the Silver Wing is less than five hundred meters away, it seems that it will be smashed into pieces in the next moment, but the sea monster never dared to rampage again, and after a hateful cry again, it sank into the sea.
"Did it escape?" Ivan looked around, only he didn't understand the sea monster's behavior pattern and couldn't judge the sea monster's next behavior.
The habits of animals in nature are diverse. Some will choose to retreat to find other prey after a little frustration, while others will be stuck on the canthus and will never get rid of it again. Ivan doesn’t know which sea monster belongs to. class.
"The gunner prepares alchemy bombs, ready to guard underwater!"
"Yes! Alchemy bomb preparations, the first ten groups, bomber preparations!"
After issued a new order, Geer turned around and explained to Irvine:
"Impact conch is a relatively common small species of sea monster. The most common attack method is to stir the current on the sea to accelerate the collision against the ship, but it is also very cunning, and the absolute strength cannot be judged based on its size.
The sea monsters in the Black Sea are all dependents of the mother of sea monsters, Ector. They attacked human ships not for hunting, but from the hatred of terrestrial creatures in their blood, thinking that terrestrial creatures are betrayers of the sea! "
Speaking of this, Geer’s tone is very solemn:
"When encountering them in the ocean, in most cases, one party will fall forever as the end. Remember! As long as you don't see its body, you can never take it lightly."
The existence of sea monsters is a relatively elementary mystery, which can be spread among frontline combatants on a limited basis.
But what Geer just said is strictly speaking the core knowledge related to the source of mystery. Some mysteries can even use the name of a sacred existence to obtain power through rituals.
is to face Aiwen, if you change someone else, even if you are a young officer that you value, Gehr will not be free of such a level of extraordinary knowledge of science.
Even if the supernatural beings on the path of the Cavaliers cannot directly use this knowledge to gain power, the value lies there. In the eyes of the wild transcendents who lack systematic inheritance, this is a priceless treasure!
The officers beside Geer glanced at each other. With their understanding of Geer, it seemed that they had realized something in an instant. UU reading www.uukanshu.com looked at Aiwen's eyes more and more kind.
"Click, click, click..." The sound of the sea monster pointer became more and more rapid, and the green jewel pointer turned endlessly, as if out of control.
"Command! The gunner drops the bomb, the target ship is directly below!"
"Bombardier, the first batch, right below the target, drop the bomb!"
Following the command of the gunner loudly, the sides of the ships on the left and right sides made the sound of “pumping” heavy objects falling into the water.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
There were dull explosions from underwater, and I didn’t know if it hit the target or landed on the seabed. In this era, there is a lack of underwater detection equipment, especially in the face of super-spec opponents such as sea monsters, and rely on the experience of the commander.
Although Geer has the confidence to defeat the small species, he is the opponent's home court in the sea after all, and any misjudgment may cause him to fall into a huge crisis.
glanced at the sea monster pointer that was still spinning, and Geer decisively issued an order:
"The sail is long and lifts! We leave this water."
Since this sea monster wants to hide and seek, then find a way to mobilize it and let it run out by itself.
"Yes! Raise the sail, speed up the full sail!"
"Hey--hey--"
The order of long sails was issued, and the sails on the three mainmasts were raised in an orderly manner with the chants of the sailors, and then they were filled with sea breeze.
But Ivan then felt something was wrong!
Although the fog is not small and the wind is not strong now, it also means that the waves are not high and all the sails can be raised, which is often said to be full sail. But the speed of the battleship did not increase significantly, as if...
seems to be caught by something!
