Chapter 298: Omen and Brief Battle Line
At this time, the weather at sea is getting more and more drowsy, or strange.
The wind is obviously not too strong, but the waves are not small at all. If the field of view is high enough, you can see that this situation is not limited to the coast of the Kingdom of Taylor, but covers a small half of the Black Sea.
Countless fish jumped out of the water and fell into the water, as if there were things in the whole sea that frightened them, repeating in vain the process of jumping and falling. Some aquatic creatures even jump directly onto the shore, unwilling to return to the sea even if they die of dehydration.
Being on a ship sailing in this sea, no matter how big your nerves are, you can already sense that something bad is about to happen here!
"How's that, Annie, what did the creatures of the sea say?"
Seeing Anita open her eyes as she was using the "Language Mask", Jasmine asked with concern.
She had already learned about the power of this sea treasure from Anita and had tried it herself.
It is capable of translating specific forms of biological communication within a two-kilometer radius, such as roars, infrasounds, ultrasounds, body movements, pheromones, etc., into human language that it can understand.
Including a variety of marine mammals, birds, fish and shrimp, jellyfish and even plankton!
With it, it can be said that the eyes and ears are all over the sea, and it is easy to obtain valuable information that no one else can obtain.
"They had just experienced a terrible tsunami a few hours earlier, and a warship and countless monsters had hit the city inhabited by humans. ”
Taking off the golden mask, Anita frowned and told Jasmine what she had heard, it was clear that her trip had not come at the right time, Huggins's operation had already begun, and in this way it seemed like a fantasy.
"However, this catastrophe is nothing to most of the tiny creatures that live at the bottom of the sea, but a deeper fear is at the fore!
Centered at the mouth of the Leiden River, countless aquatic creatures are frantically trying to escape from the sea, not natural predators, not natural disasters, but a fear rooted deep in the blood.
Every wave in the Black Sea around you seems to hide infinite dangers.
What the hell did Huggins do this time?"
Anita felt that what was happening here was far beyond her initial imagination, and even more beyond the scope that she could control as a third-order knight.
The two men in conversation did not notice that not far from their "Golden Horn", a huge beluga whale swam from the direction of the "Sea of Atried", and swam against the fleeing fish in the direction of the "Leiden River estuary".
Even in the face of unknown dangers, the "Golden Horn" continued to accelerate.
The other side.
Whatever bad happens in this part of the sea, it doesn't matter to Evan and the crew of the Stormhorn.
Because something very bad has happened to them, if they can't pass this level, they don't need to worry about what will happen to them.
"Petram! You're a bastard!"
With the lung capacity of a veteran knight, Evan let out a roar full of anger echoed across the sea.
"Hahaha, thanks for the compliment!
On the "Royal Guard", which was already not far from the "Storm Horn", Solomon did not show weakness in returning the salute to Aven. Behind him, two large sea monsters with fangs and claws let out a series of roars, and they were already in hot pursuit!
Yikes!
Click!
The crews of the two ships were like quails and did not even dare to raise their heads. There will not be any officer who can't think of it, and will record the "cordial greetings" of the two captains in his logbook
But scolding is scolding.
Evan also knew that Solomon had made the most advantageous choice for the battle situation, using the speed advantage to mobilize the enemy while dragging the "Storm Horn" into the water and concentrating all his living forces to deal with the strong enemy!
Well, this time the right should be on par with the last time he was cheated.
As for the half-abandoned fortress and the "old, weak, sick and disabled" in it, it has obviously been ignored by the two captains, intentionally or unintentionally.
"All hands on deck! Open the muzzles, turn on the 'Song of the Sirens', and wait for them to come over on their own. ”
The Storm Horn had two gun decks and a total of 18 24-pounder guns, 20 12-pounder guns, 10 9-pounder guns, and two 6-pounder guns on the stern floor.
The crew consists of 281 people, including 3 transcendents (1 berserker, 1 veteran knight and pinnacle apprentice, 1 prophet), and 2 sea treasures.
Even among all the fourth-tier ships of the Tulip Alliance, such a lineup is second to none.
And today, the "Storm Horn", which was officially listed in the naval sequence, finally ushered in the first real naval battle since its service.
Evan did not give the usual order for the Phaletis navy to gain the upper hand in naval battles.
Because the sea monster is different from the warship, it is far more flexible than your own warship in the sea, and it doesn't matter if you are upwind or downwind, it is meaningless to really fight.
Fluttering
A pintail swift shot down from the sky and flew towards the Royal Guardian like a black arrow.
Since it was about to face a vicious battle, and there was an internal controversy, Aven sent his own messenger to Solomon as soon as possible.
If there are instant messengers, why use flags as a backward and error-prone tool?
"Bertram, you are mainly attacking my auxiliary, if you have any ability, use it quickly! By the way, how many alchemy bombs have you brought? ”
From the moment he saw the water elemental fur dog Cypeth under the "Royal Guard", Evan knew that this guy's hole cards were far thicker than he knew before, and unceremoniously arranged the role of the main attack for him.
"No problem! How do we fight, one-on-one or two-on-two?"
Bertrem also knew that he was at a loss, and agreed without much hesitation, the position of the main attack was naturally to do his best to kill the opponent, while the auxiliary only needed to share the firepower to contain the opponent, and the difficulty was clear at a glance.
Although he claims to be afraid of trouble, the arrogance of this famous son is still born in his bones.
"You take them around in a circle, let me do a wave of air strikes first!"
While communicating tactics with Bertelem, Evan sent a group of bombers that had already flown back to stand by again.
In order to facilitate the command, the owl bass had already come to the deck early, folded his wings and stood beside Aven, and shouted twice at Aven's shadow as if demonstrating.
Coo-goo-goo

At this time, there were 19 large seabirds under Aiwen's command, and there were still 9 in reserve on his own ship, but the reserve on the "Royal Guard" exceeded the normal base, with a full ten boxes of 40 birds.
In order to quickly support the Major General, he did not let the seabirds carry multiple alchemy bombs, but this time there is no concern, each seabird carries two alchemy bombs, which are far from reaching the load limit of these them.
Soon.
The bomber formation took to the air with thirty-eight alchemy bombs and flew towards the two sea monsters following the "Royal Guard". : :
As the only battleship on the side of the Taylor Kingdom to participate in the battle this time, the "Royal Guard" is of course indispensable to be equipped with a "Siren Song".
Thanks to this, although the two sea monsters were in hot pursuit, they had to surface during the long chase, which also made their speed far less than normal. Fastest update Desktop::/
Instead, it is a large fur-seal-like water elemental creature that powers battleships, and is not affected by infrasonic waves in the slightest due to its immunity to physical attacks.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as the bomber formation arrived at the designated position, it launched an intensive air attack.
Bang!
A large number of alchemy bombs exploded at the same time, setting off an incredibly powerful shockwave, and even creating a wave of considerable scale.
The wall of water spread out in circles, and even the two battleships that were still some distance away from the scene of the explosion caused a violent jolt.
However, the results of this battle were far worse than the bombing of the "water cannon humpback whale" last time.
The low IQ of these fast-growing sea monsters does not mean that they are blind, and the scenes of "mantis shrimp" and "whales" being attacked by air raids have been seen by them, and of course it is impossible to turn a blind eye to the "bombers" flying overhead.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he had already endured the pervasive continuous damage of infrasonic waves and dived under the water at the first time.
When the two sea monsters could not withstand the infrasonic attack on the bottom of the sea and resurfaced, the "Iron Armored Seahorse" was almost uninjured with the hard bony carapace of the bony fish, and the "ghost shrimp", which was even less defensive, was only a broken carapace on the surface of the body, and it was far from losing its combat effectiveness.
It's just that this bombing apparently completely angered them.
Yikes!
Bang!
The cry of the pharyngeal muscles of the "Iron Armored Seahorse" was dull and short, and the thick shrimp claws on the right side of the "ghost shrimp", which were almost the same length as the body, opened and closed with a thunderous roar.
Then two large sea monsters, with an average length of 70 meters, quickly rushed towards the two battleships that had taken advantage of this opportunity to complete the convergence.
Thereinto.
The "Iron Armored Seahorse" is a half-body seahorse with black plate armor attached to it, but the lower body is composed of countless wriggling thick tentacles, and it is a heavily armored knight who rides the raging currents as if it were rampaging on the sea.
The nature of this creature makes it one of the last enemies that a human battleship wants.
The large species of "ghost shrimp" is an elusive deep-sea killer, with a crystal-clear material all over its body, and even its internal organs are transparent even before it eats.
As long as this kind of existence hides in the sea, ordinary lookouts can't detect it at all.
Moreover, he has a pair of asymmetrical pliers, and the right chela is extremely thick and even about the length of the body, while the left chela is short and small as if it were deformed.
"None of them seem to be easy to deal with. ”
Even if there is no record of these sea monster species in the official "Sea Monster Illustrated Book", according to the general law, looking strange must have unique abilities.
Across the sea, Evan and Solomon glanced at each other, and instantly determined the next strategy.
The "ironclad seahorse" has no other way than the hard hitting of real knives and real guns, and the hard bones are gnawed at the end. Concentrate your firepower to take out the assassin-type enemy of "Ghost Shrimp"!
The two battleships have been lined up in accordance with the wartime manual, that is, the "battle line" that is simplified to the extreme, and no matter how many battleships, this formation is the most conducive to giving full play to the firepower of the battleships.
"Cypes, go and entangle that 'ironclad seahorse!'
Solomon, as the main attacker, has already taken the lead.
Grunt
The twenty-meter-long water elemental fur seal let out a roar like boiling water, quickly broke away from the bottom of the "Royal Guard", turned into an undercurrent in the sea, and shot towards the "ironclad seahorse" like a berserk knight.
The atmosphere was calm.
The final duel between humans and sea monsters on the sea is about to break out!
