Chapter 361: Shelling the Sea Monster
A few minutes later, the dolphin happily sank to the surface.
Allen's boat returned to the ironclad, and the crew waited for half an hour, and there were many more dolphins in the surrounding water.
They jump happily on the surface of the water, whistle from time to time, and have a strange tone, with a melody similar to that of a song.
The soldiers went from being amazed at first to becoming accustomed to, "It's nice to have dolphins to help us drive." ”
"Now the threat from the bottom of the water is gone, and we can swim in the deep sea with confidence." Heinz shook the cat's tail excitedly.
"We can't let our guard down, the dolphins' role is to help us warn, the sea monsters on the bottom of the sea will not be scared away by the dolphins, and they may surprise from the bottom when they often sneak up on the sailboat." Alan said.
"Huh?"
"I thought with the help of sea creatures, I wouldn't have to worry about the sea monsters." The orcs hung their heads, and the excitement that had finally risen was gone.
When the boiler is hot and the propeller is spinning, the ironclad continues to move with a bang, and the orcs in the captain's room keep an eye on the compass to keep an eye on it so that the ironclad does not deviate from its established course.
The dolphins chased after them, all seeing the ironclad as a giant sea monster.
They jump over the surface of the water in a regular manner, using high-frequency waves to communicate with Allen at wave levels.
The orcs don't have special abilities in this area, and they really can't hear clearly, so they can only vaguely feel that Eren is communicating with sea creatures.
The Dolphin was fast, and the Pioneer was not moving at full speed, and the two kept moving at a relatively flat pace.
Two hours later, the dolphin emitted high-frequency waves, and a sense of fear came from its voice.
Alan quickly captures the meaning of this sonic wave – the multi-legged tentacle of the sea overlord.
"There are sea monsters nearby, so keep an eye out and cheer up." After Allen finished speaking, he immediately reported a direction.
There were small generators inside the ship, and telephone lines were drawn in each compartment, which Captain Felton used to give orders to the various gunners, so that they could pay full attention and listen to the passwords.
The gunners cheered up to look at the sea, and the orcs who listened to the phone listened to the call and said the latest sea monster coordinates.
"Your Majesty, there is no sea monster in that direction, is it under the bottom of the sea?"
"Yes, the sea monster is under the seabed." Alan affirmed.
The sea monster was wandering seven thousand meters away, and it was spotted by the echolocation abilities of the dolphins, which reported it to Allen in time.
Alan himself understands echolocation, and he can use his sonic LV2 skill to send sound waves to probe the seabed, and then use his echolocation skill to identify the relative positions of nearby objects.
It's just that this skill is also limited by the main god, and it is limited to the level of LV1, which is the skill that has just debuted and is at its peak.
LV1's echolocation can only allow him to barely determine the target location within a few tens of meters, and the sound wave information from a hundred meters away is blurred and does not give an answer.
Humanoid sonar is talking about Allen's situation.
But dolphins are more than ten times better than Allen, they can press air into the air sacs, close the valves, and emit mixed sound waves of high and low frequencies through the front direction, and the sound emitted is like a laser to detect in the sea, and their detection range is much farther than Allen.
"Your Majesty, when are we going to shell?" The captain asked in a whisper.
"One word, wait." Alan also has no good way to meet super sea creatures in this era of low technology, and they can only wait for each other to surface, and then shell.
It is very unrealistic to enter the water, the orcs can't see each other's position, and Alan also uses his shooting skills to adjust the angle of the barrel shot.
Ten minutes later, the Vanguard was far away from the sea behind it, and the sea monster didn't seem interested in chasing their steel ship.
The Chosen Forward continued to run forward, and half an hour later encountered another sea monster.
This time, the sea monster is not underwater, but floating on the surface of the water, as if it is enjoying the sun or something.
After being reminded by his dolphin friend, Alan waited for the boat to get close to a certain distance and saw a black dot, then climbed to the highest platform and used a telescope to see the general direction of the dolphin's announcement on the lookout.
It was an island-like black creature that floated motionless on the surface of the water, with only a round head, jet-black purple, and no eyes.
The skin of the sea monster is smooth, and as drawn in the previous sketch, the head of the sea monster has no eyes.
"It's at least two kilometers away, which is a bit far." Alan put down the binoculars, he couldn't see the distance very clearly, but his shooting skills were already able to aim at the opponent's landing point.
"Adjust the angle and take out the grenade."
"Yes!" After hearing the order, the artilleryman excitedly loaded the sixty-four-pound grenade, and then constantly adjusted the angle according to the guidance of the voice of the telephone.
In order not to waste shells, Allen plans to fire a howitzer to test the strength of the sea monster.
Grenades are cannonballs that explode, and the Kraken visually does not have a hard exoskeleton that should blow out its flesh.
"Report, angle correction complete, request shooting!" The voice of a soldier rang on the phone.
The captain looked at His Majesty Allen, Allen nodded, and the captain immediately reported to the phone: "Permission to launch." ”
With a bang, the first gun barrel on the far left of the ironclad ship burst into flames, and the large grenade was pushed by high-pressure gas, spiraling out along the rifling, and on the way, it was pushed by the sea breeze, flew high in the form of a parabola, and landed towards the sea surface, accurately landing on the head of the sea monster.
The distance was too far for the orcs to hear the explosion right away.
The first thing they saw erupted from the head of the sea monster, and the blazing flames were released and spread in all directions.
The flame clusters bloom upwards in their most fiery form, resembling a small mushroom cloud.
Then Alan and the others vaguely heard the explosion from heaven and earth, boom, the sound was dull and loud.
"The sea monster didn't sink, it floated on the surface of the sea!" The orcs looked at the sea monster through binoculars and were pleasantly surprised to see that it was not moving.
The skin of its head was scorched, and the black, charred flesh rippled with the currents of the sea following the shockwave, and some black tentacles also surfaced.
The sea monster didn't move, as if it were dead.
"Dead?" Rhodes was surprised.
"Probably really dead." Heinz also covered his mouth in surprise.
"That's a grenade from Tomorrow City, with a weight of sixty-four pounds, and a single shot can hit a hole in the wall, and of course a sea monster can't stop the grenade." Ivan laughed proudly.
Alan also showed a relaxed smile, he had always heard that the sea monster was very powerful, which made Alan also feel a little bit of attention to the sea monster.
Now the navy of tomorrow does not need to be afraid of sea monsters, a grenade blows up the big head of the sea monsters, giving them endless confidence and motivation.
The Pioneer slowly moved forward, and as the distance got closer, Alan and the other orcs finally saw the true face of the sea monster.
It resembles a giant octopus.
