There is such a saying, it is called the endless sea of bitterness, and the shore is turned back. The reason why we use the sea is because before the Age of Discovery, the world that most people knew was only the earth under their feet. The so-called sitting in the well and watching the sky is nothing more than that.
Of course, there are so-called fanatics in every era, who like to imagine what the end of the sea will look like. And there are always some emperors, either who have a lot of money or have the same interests, and will fund to help them find a new world.
Not to mention the Age of Discovery, which is now popular on the continent of Europa, there are countless brave people in China alone who have gone to the ocean to find a new continent.
It's just that life at sea is obviously very miserable, and perhaps people who have never been to sea will find life at sea very interesting. But in fact, the vast majority of people who live at sea all year round yearn for the life they most yearn for is to live on land.
If nothing else, just a little bit, the night!
The sea at night can be said to be a very terrifying environment, except for the light brought by the bright moon in the sky, only the oil lamps on the ship can bring a trace of comfort to people. Away from the light, it was pitch black. Especially the sea below, it's pure black and endless, and you have no idea what kind of monsters are cruising underneath the water.
It's not like Yoshinobu Oda hasn't been to the sea, but to be honest, whether it's going from Ise to Ezo, or from Ezo to Sado, or from Ise to Satsuma, it's not an ocean. Only now is a trip to the Ryukyus that can be regarded as a true ocean voyage.
Well, it's not that far, but at least it's out of the sea for a while. But no matter which one it is, Oda Yoshinobu has never encountered any strong winds and waves, and it can be described as quite smooth along the way, and Lilu and Ozuru both joked that Oda Yoshinobu was an illegitimate child with the goddess of the sea.
It's just that now, the boat suddenly shook violently, although this shaking was nothing to Oda Yoshinobu and Li Huamei, but he didn't know why, and he had a very bad premonition.
"What's going on?!" Yoshinobu Oda asked nervously and loudly. In his previous life, he had seen too many accidents at sea, such as the most famous Titanic, and some hurricane at sea or something else.
Therefore, it was difficult for him not to get nervous, after all, although his fleet was quite large, with 15 large ships, it could be compared to the sea...... Hehe.
Just hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, the navies on the deck and on the lookout shook their heads in confusion, and they didn't notice anything unusual. The other ships were contacted with a signal light, but nothing unusual was found.
"What's wrong?!" After a while, Dazhu Tsuru, Maeda Keiji and others rushed out. His face was serious, obviously startled by the violent shaking just now. Although the shaking is only fleeting, as the saying goes, there are no small things on the sea, because if any so-called small thing is not treated carefully, then the ultimate consequence is the death of the sea.
"It's not like there's a storm coming." Da Zhuhe and Lilu said after discussing for a while. The two of them, one from the navy and the other from Europa to Japan, are obviously familiar with the weather at sea.
After a while, Shigeharu Takenaka also rushed over, "My subordinates went to investigate just now, and there is no sign of damage to the ship. ”
"What's going on here?!" Oda Yoshinobu thought suspiciously.
"Could it be a school of fish passing by and just hitting us?" Lilu thought for a moment and said.
"Hmm...... It should be so......" Oda Yoshinobu was silent for a while, then nodded in response. Other than that, he really couldn't think of anything else. And he didn't want to think about other possibilities.
"The order goes down, everyone don't rest yet, strengthen the vigilance, and carefully inspect the inside of the ship! At the same time, the surrounding sea surface is monitored! If there is anything unusual, report it immediately! Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.
Oda Yoshinobu's order sounded unreasonable at first glance, because it was already late at night, and it was the time when people were most tired. But no one has any objection to this. Except for Keiji Maeda and others, who resolutely carried out Oda Yoshinobu's orders, the other navies, when they were training, always had a sentence in their ears, there is no trivial matter above the sea!
It's just that as the saying goes, what is afraid of what comes. After a long time, another ship shook violently, again, in a fleeting moment. At this time, Oda Yoshinobu and the others could see it clearly, because many oil lamps had been lit on each ship at this time.
After a while, Da Zhuhe rushed to report, "My lord, I didn't find any problems over there, and I didn't find anything on the sea near the ship. ”
When the "......" heard this, everyone fell silent. If the whole fleet is shaking, it may be because of the wind and waves, but before only the flagship was shaking, and now only one ship is shaking. If it's a school of fish...... Will they still turn around?
After a long time, Oda Yoshinobu looked at everyone and ordered with a serious face, "No problem is a big problem!" We may have run into the creatures of the sea, everyone, get ready to fight! ”
When Lilu on the side heard this, she muttered strangely, "Could it be a shark?" Or...... Whale? ”
Hearing Lilu's muttering, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly said angrily, "Tsk, it's not a good thing anyway!" "Well, you can't blame him for this, after all, this is above the sea, in the Pacific Ocean, even if Oda Yoshinobu is awesome, how much ability can he have when he goes to the sea? Can you beat a shark? Not to mention whales. As soon as people flicked their tails, Oda Yoshinobu didn't know where he was washed away by the waves.
All of them were holding iron cannons, bows and arrows, and some were carrying oil lamps to constantly shine on the sea, and all of them had very serious expressions. And Maeda Keiji and the others also picked up bows and arrows, after all, here, there is no use for any spear or sword.
At this moment, Oda Yoshinobu, who had been staring at the sea, suddenly saw something, and for a moment, cold sweat broke out all over his body, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief. And beside him, Li Huamei, Maeda Keiji and others are also the same.
Because not far from the ship, under the seawater, under the light of dozens of oil lamps, two huge eyes appeared in the eyes of everyone under the reflection of the light.
What kind of giant eyes are they? With a diameter of at least two meters or more, a pair of jet-black pupils were staring at Oda Yoshinobu's side, and Oda Yoshinobu and the others were standing on end.
"This ......," Oda Yoshinobu closed his mouth as soon as he said a word, as if he was afraid that the unknown creature would do something because of his voice. And Maeda Keiji and the others didn't dare to move, they stood on the side of the boat gang in a daze, like a statue.
At this moment, "Puff puff!" Several loud waves rang out in everyone's ears, and then they saw the red tentacle-like object that was not known how long it was sticking out of the sea and quickly winding around Oda Yoshinobu's flagship.
Oda Yoshinobu's flagship was an enlarged version built on the Karak sailing ship, with a total length of 32 meters and a capacity of 3,000 koku for cargo. But such a huge ship, in the tentacles of this unknown sea beast, seems to be just a toy in the hands of young children.
"Fire! Aim for the eye and fire! Keiji! Go for a long time! You lead the ninja army and the Grim Reaper to cut off those tentacles! Oda Yoshinobu shouted, "Tsuru, immediately order the other ships to open fire into the sea!" ”
After saying that, he didn't care whether Maeda Keiji knew what the tentacles were, he pulled out Yaqi violently, and at the same time rushed towards the tentacles that were about to wrap around the mast with the halberd, and the sword light halberd shadow, the tentacle suddenly fell heavily on the deck.
"Bang!!" The hull shook violently again, but fortunately it did not roll over. Of course, the most fortunate thing for Oda Yoshinobu is that this tentacle can be cut off. If even his Yagi and the Divine Halberd can't get these tentacles, then the only thing Oda Yoshinobu can do seems to be to accept his fate.
The tentacles were severed, and the sea beast was obviously unusually angry in addition to the pain. After all, according to its size, no matter how you look at it, it seems that it has been across the sea for decades without an opponent. And now, he has broken one of his hands by this little human? And there are countless people attacking his exposed tentacles and body hidden in the sea.
......The sea water swelled up, and the sea beast finally revealed its true face.
Looking at the huge body that was more than ten meters high, the head was pointed, the body was like a cylinder, the two huge eyes were at the bottom of the body, and the tentacles that were not long at all, "This is...... King Squid?! Oda Yoshinobu looked at the sea beast and thought in shock.
In his previous life, he liked to see these things very much, so he had also heard of this sea beast, of course, he didn't remember how big the king squid was, but apparently ...... Now is not the time to think about that.
"My lord! It's hard for the soldiers to hurt it! Da Zhu Crane shouted anxiously.
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu looked around, but found that except for samurai such as Keiji Maeda, who had great power and famous swords, they could inflict some damage on those tentacles, and the bows and arrows and iron cannons in the hands of other soldiers were of no use at all.
The only thing that can make a difference is the ship's artillery, it's just ...... Faced with the huge cylinder, which I don't know if it was the head or the body, after a burst of cannons, the huge squid could not see whether it was injured or not, except for becoming more and more irritable.
