Chapter 149 [Witchcraft of the Army: The Fountain of Drowning!] (60,000 rewards for opening the door and sending express delivery for book friends)
Because of the delay in dealing with Lemmon for a short time, when Evan and the others arrived at the port, the students had already arrived and lined up on the dock.
Even their titular commander, Paul, had already arrived and was standing at the front of the line, staring out at the sea in the distance. Today is the collective operation of all the cadets of the Naval Academy, and as a commander, he naturally has to go to the front line in person.
"This time it didn't hide and dared to show up openly, was it the strange sea ship that gave it confidence?"
Looking through the monoculars, he saw a large black ship floating quietly on the sea in the distance, and Paul wondered.
The tattered sails, the charred hull, the large holes visible to the naked eye on the side sides, the strange shadows in the portholes, and the blood-red moonlight cast down it, casting a red mist over it, just like the legendary "ghost ship".
Naturally, the cadets behind him also saw the sea ship.
"Is that what we're aiming for today?!"
Krell opened his mouth slightly, it was the first time in his life that he had seen the "ghost ship", and he couldn't help but be a little frightened by these ghosts and the like. "Ye Gong is a good dragon" is probably a person like Krel...
Evan was also a little surprised, in addition to the terrible appearance of the big black ship, he also found that his seabirds did not dare to approach the "ghost ship" to investigate. As long as they get closer, they will frantically transmit their fearful thoughts back, and they will not be able to capture any valuable information at all.
So Evan simply let them stay away, and directly withdraw from the battlefield along with the owl bass to avoid meaningless losses.
Behind them, Anthony and Dilis looked equally solemn.
It stands to reason that although they are all active officers, after all, they have special status, and they do not belong to the members of the Naval Academy's short course, and they do not need to obey military orders to reinforce the port like Evan and Krel.
But at this time, both of them stayed without hesitation.
It's a team, and they hunted several "killers" together, but now when it's time to fight a tough battle, how can there be a reason to escape?
And they know more secrets than others, and they also have stronger confidence in the city's defense forces, especially in the principal Princeton, who is also the head of the "Violet Eye" branch!
Soon, the Knights of the Iron Wall, who were in armor and looked like a humanoid tank, and the Raven Men who wore a bird's beak mask and wore a black leather coat that looked like a big crow were all assembled.
Several warships of the First Fleet were also in place.
Paul, who had quietly changed his identity to deputy commander-in-chief before boarding the ship, encouraged the cadets and officers and soldiers who participated in the war:
"Valiant Marines of the Kingdom!
Today, the only thing you have to do is attack! Attack! Attack!
Field Marshal Princeton and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were watching us right behind us, even if it was a ghost ship? If a real ghost comes, it will be reduced to ashes under the guns of the Kingdom Navy!!Long live the Kingdom! Long live Her Majesty!"
Principal Princeton, as the former supreme commander of the Navy, has only been retired for a few years, and still has a terrifying influence in the Navy, and I don't know how many recruits have grown up listening to his legendary stories.
At the thought of His Excellency and the Crown Prince watching behind him, the fear of the officers and soldiers for the "ghost ship" suddenly subsided a lot.
"For Her Majesty!"
"Long live the Kingdom! Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"
For a while, the momentum was like a rainbow!
"Let's get on board!"
As the conventional defense force of the port, three fourth-class ships, two third-class ships and one second-class ship, a total of six battleships docked at the pier early.
It's not that the dignified First Fleet's "Port Newinn" is only garrisoned by a few warships, but ships below the fourth rank need to implement a relatively strict transcendent isolation system to control the further spread of super-level hidden existences.
You don't see that the short-training officers, the Raven Troops, and the Knights of the Iron Wall who joined this mission were originally teams that often dealt with the mysterious side, or even simply hidden troops, while other forces were directly excluded.
Not to mention that in the next foreseeable battle, battleships below the rank will not be eligible to participate in the battle at all!
The six-class warship system established by the Kingdom of Hylius, the overlord of the sea powers, is common in the entire human civilization world.
With a total length of 45 meters and a capacity of 350 people, and 50 to 56 shipborne guns on two gun decks, the fourth-class warship is far stronger in size and firepower than the sixth- and fifth-class ships that Evan once ridden, and belongs to the lowest level of the battleship sequence.
The 50-meter-long third-class warships range in size from 64 guns on two decks to 80 guns on three decks, with crews ranging from 490 to 720.
With a total length of 59 meters, the second class warship is second only to the first class ship, and with a total of 90 to 98 guns on three decks, it is a veritable mobile fortress on the sea. When a first-class ship is not released, it has absolute dominance over the sea!
As a manager who has made great contributions, Ai Wen and the others were arranged to board the only second-class ship "Frost White Sword"!
Also on board were Paul, a school instructor and First Fleet officer, and Ambrus, an acquaintance of Aven's, of the Knights of the Iron Wall, and his squad.
To tell the truth, after joining the army for so long, it was the first time for Ai Wen to participate in such a large-scale group naval battle, and even though he had already been in battle for a long time, he was still slightly excited.
As a second-class ship, the "Frost Sword" naturally became the flagship of this temporary formation, and the captain automatically became the commander-in-chief of the fleet, with Paul, who also had a naval background in the whole "murderer" incident, as the deputy commander-in-chief.
The signal lights turned off and gave the signal to set sail, and all the battleships took up anchor and set sail to meet the "ghost ship" that was somehow motionless in the distance.
In the process of long-term cooperation with the well-trained fleet, the "human" formation was gradually set up with the second-class ship as the core, and the opening end faced the "ghost ship".
The side guns were opened, which allowed the "ghost ship" to escape while allowing the full firepower of the ship's guns to be used.
Syllable... Syllable... Syllable...
"Gun Commander!
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Although the design and limitations of the sail battleship determined that it could only exert half of its firepower at a time, the six battleships also aimed a full 200 guns at the "ghost ship" at this time.
The captains of each warship are extremely confident, with their current firepower, not to mention a "ghost ship" that is not even a battleship, even if a giant sea monster collides headlong, it will be mercilessly blasted into minced meat!
Whoa—
The distance between the two narrowed little by little, and soon came into the effective range of the ship's guns.
There is no need to think about accuracy, this distance is one kilometer!
The "ghost ship" still floated silently on the water, neither advancing nor retreating, as if it had completely ignored the powerful fleet that was as fierce as a black cloud overpowering the city.
The commander-in-chief of the fleet did not care what the enemy thought, the signal light above the flagship flashed several times in a row, and the captains of the six battleships took out their pocket watches at the same time and began to count down.
"Eight, seven.... II. One, !! fire"
Boom, boom, boom......
Two hundred cannons fired in unison, the smoke of gunpowder formed thick clouds, the air exploded and shredded, as if a whole sea was trembling in fear, and the wisdom of human beings created a great power comparable to a natural disaster!
......
In the face of the solid cannonballs whistling like flying locusts, a "person" standing on the bow tower did not take it to heart at all.
"Oh, ignorant human!
Always speculating on the infinite power of the gods with his narrow eyes like ants, and even trying to compare with the gods, is it really because the lessons he has learned and the pain he has experienced are far from enough?!"
The goosebump-giving aria says.
"All those who ignore me, suppress me, and persecute me must experience the pain I once felt!"
A deep male voice that overlapped like an echo said.
And in front of them, the wooden bow of the ship, made of three twisted human heads and entwined spine, suddenly glowed green!
"Boom . . . Bang.. Bang.. Boom..."
The dense shells formed a real "barrage" that surrounded the "ghost ship", roaring and smashing down, and the sea water was shattered at this time, setting off a large mist in the field of vision of the navy.
"How's it going, is it solved?"
"How could anyone escape from an attack of this magnitude? not even the 'ghost ship'. ”
"I said we were making too much of a fuss, and all the shells we wasted were money!"
The mist had not yet dissipated, and many of the sailors on the battleship who were not on combat duty had already discussed the results of the battle, and without exception they were very optimistic. No matter who it is, the shock of "ten thousand cannons" will be exactly the same as them.
Whew-
Soon, the night sea breeze will blow away all the gunsmoke and water mist!
"What?!"
"Impossible!"
"Liar, huh?"
The unscathed "ghost ship" appeared in front of them again, as if it had just been hit by artillery fire was just a phantom, and the huge gap shocked the officers and men of the navy.
It's just that at this time, no one noticed that on the strange and terrifying bow of the "ghost ship", the eyes of a human head had been quietly closed.
The bow of the ship is like a statue of a human head made up of three male faces, each with a pair of green eyes, but with different expressions, one sad, one painful, and one resentful.
At this time, the eyes have been closed, and it is the human head that represents sadness.
Obviously, the "void" that has just dodged the cannonball is one of the abilities of this "ship's bow image", and there are two other human heads that have not been revealed, and they are also the "hosts" Wacker Wells and the "Dead Soul Box" have nothing to rely on!
The attack of the fleet with concentrated fire did not work, and a counterattack followed.
"Ignorant ants who dare to hinder the return of the true God, you will be destroyed by the power of the gods!
【Rival Witchcraft: Fountain of Drowning!】
The second human head, which represents "pain", suddenly widened its green eyes!
