Crondo stood on the roof at the top of the bridge command room, looking at the long fleet lined up behind him, and his heart was surging.

With the exception of the massive ironclad flagship "Imperial Grip", the rest of the ships are also made of ironclad, and although these reconnaissance ships, frigates, and supply ships are equipped with one or two sets of weapons, and are less than one-fifth the size of the flagship, when hundreds of them are put together, they still look extremely spectacular.

In the low whimper that sounded from time to time, the white smoke from the chimney stretched into patches, and the sea water also swung to both sides because of this huge fleet, the ironclad bow was more calm than the magic guide ship, and the ups and downs when breaking the waves were more slight than expected, quite a kind of momentum from before.

As the flagship, the "Imperial Grip" is definitely the most eye-catching existence in the fleet, its top is hung high with the black wing flag symbolizing the Northern Empire, the towering bridge and slender body make it different from ordinary paddle steamers and ironclad ships, the towering turret at the front of the hull and the caliber of up to 406mm super main gun, this main gun will fire 2,700 pounds of super heavy armor-piercing shells, dozens of independent guns, machine guns can attack the enemy from any direction without dead ends, but even if it is equipped with such a complex weapon system, The high-pressure steam engine with propeller power allows it to sail at high speed even with incredible strength.

In this day and age, the Imperial Grip and its two companions, Breath of the Holy Dragon, and Northern Dawn, are the undisputed lords of the seas - even if their opponents are Wizard Warships.

But......

Clondo glanced up at the dragon body hovering above the fleet, then lowered his head and sighed, the Black Wing Empire has the ability to build such a powerful warship, but it is held back by personnel and talent factors, and at this stage, the Northland is not able to provide navigators, gunners and other seafarers in large quantities.

After all, even as the captain of the Imperial Grip, he now wears many hats, and he has to go to various academies from time to time to teach. It is conceivable how scarce talents are in the North.

This is also the reason why only one armored ship group of the Imperial Grip went to this ocean-going plan, and the personnel on the "Holy Dragon's Breath" and "Northern Dawn" are still in the training and run-in stage.

"I hope that the development of the Sino-Ocean plan will encourage more people to join this industry." Clondo thought, "After all, the sea is a man's romance." ”

The Empire's Grip armored ship group is destined for Veloster, another continent that is not part of Eladia.

A thousand years ago, that continent was already called this name, as early as that time, the ocean-going fleet of the Sun Never Sets Empire had set foot on that land, but for some reason, the southerners gave up the exploration and expansion of Vloster, and the current more reliable theory is: The elemental reaction of the Vloster continent is not active, and it can even be said to be lifeless, making it difficult for spellcasters and magic products to play a role there; The indigenous people are primitive and ignorant and difficult to communicate, but they are far larger than the Eladians, and they have an extreme hatred for outsiders, and if they come into contact, war will break out. After evaluation, the Empire of the Sun Never Sets judged that Vylluster was of no value and aborted further plans.

Later, the trading city-states also arrived in Villeste, and the historical materials left behind confirm this statement.

Crondo had accompanied an expeditionary caravan and had made it to the continent, and although he didn't dare to venture too far, he did manage to leave behind a map of the sea and a small part of the area of Willowster, which he later presented to the Black Dragon Emperor when he was conscripted.

When the Black Dragon Emperor got the chart, he only glanced at it twice and signaled that he could leave, and did not show interest in the New World, which made Crondo quite disappointed, and he was depressed for a while. But now, the Blackwing Empire, a vast and emerging nation, has finally set its eyes on the depths of the ocean, on the other side of the ocean, to the vast new world beyond Eladia.

There are several major difficulties in navigating across the sea, such as self-supply, catastrophic climate, and sea monster attacks, among which the changeable climate at sea and the powerful sea monsters in the deep sea are the most worrying problems, but the more worried you are, the more you will encounter something, and when she receives an urgent summons from the command room, Clondo realizes that there is work to do.

The climate at sea suddenly changed, and the weather that was originally quite clear, with a dazzling white light piercing the sky, rolling thunder and explosions, like a tide of dark clouds immediately filled the sky, and the rain quickly poured down.

"My lord, there is news from the reconnaissance ship that there is a situation ahead, something is approaching us, and the number is ...... Many. ”

In fact, without saying it, Clendo himself could see through the magic guide survey system carried by the Imperial Grip that countless black shadows under the sea were approaching the ship, and the speed was very fast, and these things were surging from all directions, like sharks smelling blood.

"Tell everyone to prepare."

Crondo said in a deep voice that he had been mentally prepared for an unexpected situation long before leaving the port, and that the fleet was not a soft persimmon, and all the people on it had more than one experience in combat training and exercises.

Before the two sides could make contact, the dragon hovering above rushed into the sea first, and when it resurfaced, it already had a huge strange fish in its mouth.

Blackxia, the sister of the Black Dragon Emperor, is tasked with accompanying the ocean fleet in the search of the New World and providing the Empire with detailed information about Veloster.

"Roar."

Blackthea swallowed the strange fish into her belly, her slender neck fluttered, and then let out a roar of excitement, and her body had grown to sixteen meters, and her body turned upside down in the sky, and rushed into the sea again.

The enemy was near, and in the sea in front of the fleet, the dorsal fins of strange fish had surfaced, and at the same time, thick, strong, fleshy suckers of tentacles stretched out from the sea, and after these tentacles had pushed a reconnaissance ship away, they danced wildly and began to try to catch the roaring black dragon in the sky.

"Prodork."

Crondo's expression became solemn, he didn't expect to encounter such an opponent when he led the Northern Fleet to sea for the first time, the word "Prodolk" originated from the ancient orc language, and was later inherited by the human language and the lingua franca, which means a powerful octopus sea monster.

With a body length of up to 100 meters and more than 24 tentacles, this octopus has a unique physiological system that allows it to fully surface when needed, its terrifying regenerative ability and deadly winding attacks are its most notable features, and at the same time, this sea monster is capable of emitting sound waves that cannot be received by land creatures, enslaving all fish it comes into contact with - according to the Bestiary, the most powerful of this octopus can even hunt adult sea dragons, and is one of the most fearsome monsters in the deep sea.

Some fishermen, pirates, and other people who make a living from the sea even worship Prodolk as a god and pray all night before going out to sea.
