Chapter 29: Drowning in the Deep Sea (Table)

An hour later, Shetland Islands, the northernmost post of Pantoraken. The ship came to shore quietly in the snow. The group quietly jumped out of the boat and was greeted by another pair of knights to the outpost on the north coast of the archipelago.

Make the most of the surroundings and carve out of the natural black basalt reef to blend in perfectly with the island. If a Viking fleet approached from within 10 nautical miles, the sentry could detect it in time and send a fleet to support it. Even the Vikings' fleet is too large to deal with, and the knights on the station can activate powerful shields to hold on for weeks.

This was Arthur's first visit to such an outpost. He pretended not to care, but his eyes surveyed the inner workings of the outpost. Although carved out of a reef, the outpost is not as humid as Arthur had imagined, and there seems to be some kind of magic to prevent moisture from invading the outpost. In fact, if you ignore the disgusting, rough and pitted reef walls, this outpost can be a very comfortable place to live.

The group walked about twenty feet down the stairs of the outpost, almost below sea level, to reach the machinery warehouse here. The warehouse is connected to the bottom of the sea, and dozens of small reconnaissance submarines are moored in it, which can be said to be the only armed liliang at the outpost.

The small submarine was about fifteen feet long and appeared to be capable of accommodating a crew of three. Its jet-black hull paint with almost no metallic sheen makes it extremely difficult for enemies to spot in the depths of the ocean. Its streamlined design is elegant and simple, with almost no metal seams throughout the submarine, embossed using a single mold. As a result, it is able to evenly distribute the water pressure in every part of the hull, so that such a small submarine can have a strong pressure resistance.

"That's amazing, you humans have even developed this kind of machine?" Bediwell exclaimed involuntarily as he looked at the intricate mechanism of the submarine.

Zack, the Black Armored Knight, chuckled: "Strictly speaking, this is not something that modern people have researched, we just copy this kind of machine according to the knowledge left by ancient people." Ancient people have left a lot of useful knowledge to modern people, and this submarine is one of them.

If there is no scientific knowledge left by ancient people, human beings will have to wait another two or three thousand years to make such powerful props. If we start from scratch, in the 5th century AD, we may not even be able to build a large ship that carries people to the ocean - we lack the photonic engine to power it.

Without the scientific knowledge of the ancients, modern people would still believe that the earth is a square earth - until 1589 B.C., when archaeologists dug up the scientific books of the ancients, realized how foolish their conjecture was that [the earth is square].

Although the ancient civilizations of ancient Kelton, ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, ancient Greece, and ancient Babylon perished, they spared no effort to preserve the most precious and valuable intellectual wealth for modern people, so that human beings in the glorious region could prosper so much.

How these ancient civilizations, who fought each other and regarded each other as mortal enemies, were able to work together to preserve these possessions for modern people remains a mystery to this day.

The only thing modern people know is that these ancient civilizations faced a very formidable adversary, a race called "Boundless Darkness" in ancient texts. The desperate ancients united to seal the darkness temporarily, and to leave their most haode cultural heritage to posterity.

They put their hopes in the next generation.

"Well, without further ado, from here it is necessary to use submarines for submarine reconnaissance. Zack, the Black Armored Knight, said, his voice echoing through the empty warehouse, "Be careful, everyone, movement in the sea will be restricted, and it will be very disadvantageous in case of attack." "Can't you use a large submarine?" said Arthur, looking uneasy as he looked at the small submarines that could seat only three people. These submarines looked like fragile items that would break if touched, though this was only Arthur's mental effect.

Captain Zack said, "Use large armaments on the border?stupid, do you want to provoke an all-out war with the merfolk - even the merfolk are only instigating the Vikings to do all kinds of pirate looting against us. They don't dare to invade blatantly!?" "Weishenme is going to beat around the bush?" asked the werewolf boy Bediwell, puzzled, as he curiously touched the black and slippery shell of the submarine.

"Because the side that started the war always wants to insist that it is [justice]. Aggressors always want to put on a decent face so that they don't look so ugly in the eyes of the world. Zach grinned with a sneer, "You're still young, and you probably won't understand the wrestling game between these countries." But one day you'll understand. Adult's shijie is so hypocritical and ugly. "I'd rather never be so ugly. The werewolf boy shook his head and looked at the captain.

"Haha, you can't say no to growing up, little ghost. "But you can try to keep your good things -- well, that's a good thing, do your best." Bediwell couldn't help but look at Arthur, and he noticed that the indifference on the knight's face deepened.

There is no suspense, Arthur and Kay, Bediville share a submarine. As Kai jumped into the submarine, the submarine visibly sank a few inches into the water.

"Are you sure this thing really doesn't leak?" "Arthur was a little nervous, he looked at the inner wall of the submarine and checked the surroundings over and over again.

"Could it be Arthur, you haven't learned to swim after all these years!?" Kay tapped the submarine with his hand, revealing a sneer.

"Can't you?" Arthur said angrily, blushing, "I'm determined to be a swordsman, not a swimmer!" "You-well, I'll swim ashore with a landlubber anyway, even if the submarine sinks." Rest assured, you won't drown. Sir Kay said helplessly.

"So," said Bedeville, blushing in shame, behind the back of the knight Arthur, "come on, there's a landlubber here." "Even you?!—" Kai sighed helplessly, "Okay, okay! Two little things are not a burden, I can handle it." I finally understood that I was assigned to your team, and it turned out that mine was a large lifebuoy!" "I'm sorry, that's right. The captain's voice came over the communicator, "Hurry up and save your life—oh no, hurry up, it's time to go." "Team Arthur, start diving. Arthur said helplessly, and he pressed the mechanism and activated the submarine.

The submarine began to slowly dive into the water until it was completely submerged. The cabin of the submarine was covered by silence. Arthur took a deep breath in the darkness, and the only light in front of him was the faint glow of the dashboard's lights.

Quietly and silently undersea reconnaissance began.
