Extraordinary Sailing

Open the silver flip cover, and in the middle of the complex mechanical dial, a green gem-like pointer rotates slowly with a continuous click sound, and then slowly stops at the three o'clock direction.

"Level 1 combat readiness, three o'clock direction, artillery ready!" Geer's order resounded throughout the ship.

Although Ai Wen couldn't figure out what happened, he didn't dare to speak casually at this time. In wartime, there is no distinction between uncles and nephews on the ship, only superiors and subordinates. If Geer missed the battle opportunity because of his own mouth, even if Geer did not punish him, Aiwen would not forgive himself.

Ai Wen didn't know, but it didn't mean that other officers didn't know either.

"It's really a sea monster! How can there be a sea monster willing to come here in such a place near the sea?" the navigator wondered.

"The sea monster pointer is too inaccurate. We can only confirm their existence based on the unique sound waves of sea monsters. It is impossible to tell what level they are." The steering officer gripped the rudder and carefully adjusted the course of the Silver Wing, complaining.

"In a place near the sea, it is considered lucky to encounter a small sea monster with a size of about 30 meters. How can there be a large species? Not to mention the giant species that are rarely seen in the deep sea.

And thanks to the fact that we were once a member of Tier 4 battleships, otherwise we wouldn’t even be able to issue sea monster pointers of this precision, so let’s be content! "The chief mate was the most open-minded. As he was in charge of the ship's logistics, he naturally knew how rare a sea monster pointer was.

The first mate, the navigator, and the steering officer were also standing beside Captain Geer. They all saw the hint of the strange machine in Geer's hand and discussed with each other.

The officers obviously experienced a lot of wind and waves, and they were not nervous. They were just a little curious about how sea monsters living in the deep sea would come out on the offshore waterway.

Ai Wen heard it strangely. For him, this kind of sea monster rumors still remained in the category of stories, and he had never been exposed to them even during recruit training.

In fact, what he doesn't understand is that all kinds of mystical knowledge related to the hidden world are taboo knowledge that is jointly restricted by various secular countries and churches to spread on a large scale.

Because mysterious knowledge often involves power, just like the knight training method, without the corresponding basic knowledge and the guidance of a guide, the consequences of wanton exploration of the unknown are often disastrous.

The danger of the knight training method is not too great, and the most serious consequence is that when the knight advances, he completely loses his mind and is controlled by a violent body, turning into a wild beast.

While harming oneself, it cannot harm too many others.

And among other strange and mysterious knowledge that is hard to distinguish, it is not uncommon to even hide the prying eyes of terrifying evil gods. It is conceivable that once this power gets out of control, it will cause irresistible terror, and it is not impossible to drag the whole city to be buried with it.

The family inheritance has been broken down, so that Aiwen did not get much mysterious knowledge hidden in the depths of the world except for the core knight inheritance, and Steward Leo would not teach him such temporarily useless knowledge at the time.

In Navy training camp, that's not what recruits are supposed to be exposed to. When they really need to face this level of mystery, most of them are already crew members or even officers of at least four-tier battleships, and they have a lot of time to get from their predecessors.

Therefore, since traveling to this world, except for the real power of an extraordinary knight, Aiwen has not seen much nautical technology and technology beyond the same era in the previous life.

Until now, he had the feeling of being in a fantasy world.

Then his first thought was:

"Wow! The recruits' first battle at sea is to fight sea monsters. I'm so good!"

"coming!"

Geer, who ignored the discussions behind him, immediately discovered the trace of the sea monster. After all, this big guy did not hide his self-consciousness at all.

Accompanied by the sound of huge splashes, a huge conch higher than a house broke through the fog on the sea and appeared in the sight of a group of people.

The cold and hard black snail shell with metallic luster, the long dark blue tentacles dancing under the water constantly stirring the sea water, coupled with the huge body size beyond common sense, is simply shocking!

As soon as it appeared.

Infinite sea water spewed out from behind this big conch-shaped sea monster, and it accelerated instantly, like an invincible battering ram, rushing towards it at high speed with the momentum to smash the Silver Wing to pieces.

Surprised and stunned, Ivan only now imagined what happened to the merchant ship. You can also feel how desperate they were before they were hit by a "battering ram" bigger than a house on the sea!

"Confirm that the type of sea monster belongs to the small species of "shock conch". The gunner's starboard cannon focuses fire! Fire!" Geer is worthy of being a battleship captain who has experienced many battles. He quickly confirmed the type of sea monster and calmly directed the artillery attack. The powerful vital capacity of the knight class made his orders resound like thunder, resounding throughout the entire battleship.

"Received! The distance is 0.5 nautical miles, the target is directly in front of the conch, fire!" The gunner's shout sounded immediately, and the crew of the artillery team did not need to think, as long as they followed the commander's order.

Perhaps this sea monster has no experience in fighting human battleships, and the chosen attack angle is exactly in front of the side of the battleship, which can maximize the power of the artillery on the ship.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Amidst the continuous roar of artillery fire, orange-red flames pierced the sea. In the first round of 20 artillery salvos, most of the roaring solid shells fell into the sea water around it, and only three fell on its conch shell, making a huge roar like metal impact!

Ivan saw that the sea monster had fine pieces of conch shells falling from it, and its speed was also reduced.

The shelling worked! Sea monsters are not invulnerable!

Geer is still calm and composed. I don't know how many similar scenes he has experienced. Although sea monsters are the true rulers of the deep sea, they refer to "giant species" or even "sons of the sea god". Such small species can still be dealt with with the artillery on the battleship.

If the order is not withdrawn, the shelling will continue.

After another round of volley, five shells hit the sea monster at the same time as if by a god, and even a piece of the thick shell on its body was damaged, hurting its body. A piercing cry.

"Hey—!"

Even though it was close to less than 500 meters from the Silver Wing, as if it could be smashed into pieces in the next moment, the sea monster didn't dare to run amok again, and sank into the sea after letting out another cry full of hatred.

"Did it escape?" Ivan looked around, only he didn't understand the behavior pattern of the sea monster, and couldn't judge the next behavior of the sea monster.

The habits of animals in nature are various. Some will choose to retreat and look for other prey after a little frustration, while others will never get rid of it if they get stuck on it. Aiwen doesn't know which sea monster belongs to. kind.

"The gunner prepares the alchemy bomb, and is ready to be underwater at any time!"

"Obey! Prepare the alchemy bombs, the first batch of ten groups, prepare the bombers!"

After issuing the new order, Geer turned around and explained to Ivan:

"The impact conch is a relatively common small sea monster. The most common attack method is to stir the water on the sea surface to accelerate the collision with the ship, but it is also very cunning, and its absolute strength cannot be judged by its size.

Most of the sea monsters in the Black Sea are the dependents of the mother of sea monsters, Ecetho. They attack human ships not for hunting, but because of the hatred of land creatures in their blood, and they believe that land creatures are traitors of the sea! "

Having said that, Geer's tone is very solemn:

"Encountering them in the ocean, in most cases, will end with one party falling forever. Remember! As long as you don't see its corpse, you can never take it lightly."

The existence of sea monsters is still relatively elementary mystical knowledge, which can be spread among front-line combatants with restrictions.

But strictly speaking, what Geer just said is the core knowledge related to the source of the mystery, and some mystics can even use the name of the sacred existence to obtain power through rituals.

That is to say, facing Aiwen, if it were someone else, Geer would not popularize extraordinary knowledge of this level for free, even if he was a young officer who valued him more.

Even if the transcendent of the knightly path cannot directly use this knowledge to gain power, the value lies there. In the eyes of wild transcendents who lack systematic inheritance, this is a priceless treasure!

Several officers around Geer looked at each other. Based on their understanding of Geer, they seemed to have realized something in an instant, and the eyes they looked at Ivan became more and more kind.

"Click, click, click" the sound of the sea monster pointer became more and more urgent, and the green gemstone pointer kept turning round and round, as if it was out of control.

"Order! The gunner dropped the bomb, right below the target battleship!"

"Bombardiers, the first batch, directly below the target, drop the bomb!"

Following the gunner's loud order, the ship's sides on the left and right made a "plop" sound of heavy objects falling into the water at the same time.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

There were dull explosions under the water one after another, and it was unclear whether it hit the target or fell to the seabed. This era lacks underwater detection equipment, especially in the face of super-standard opponents like sea monsters, and can only rely on the experience of the commander.

Although Geer is confident of defeating the small species, the sea is the opponent's home field after all, and any misjudgment may put him in a huge crisis.

Glancing at the sea monster pointer that was still spinning around, Geer decisively issued an order:

"Sails up! Let's get out of these waters."

Since this sea monster wants to hide and seek, then find a way to mobilize it and let it run out by itself.

"Follow me! Raise the sails, speed up with full sails!"

"Hey-hey-"

The order of the sail cable length was issued, and with the sailors' chanting, the sails on the three mainmasts were raised in an orderly manner, and then they were fully blown by the sea wind.

But then Ivan felt something was wrong!

Although the fog is not small and the wind is not strong, it also means that the waves are not high, and all the sails can be raised, which is often said to be sailing at full sail. However, the speed of the battleship did not increase significantly, as if

It seems to be tripped by something!
