Chapter 407: Cold Sweat

The telescope of the lookout hand is not a particularly good telescope, the telescope was made by Captain Quake himself, the production is very rare, and it cannot be mass-produced for the time being, and it is one of the captain's most cherished treasures.

Mohm, the lookout, also felt the same way, such a treasure is really easy to use on the sea, and objects at a distance can be seen more clearly.

Pay attention to the wording, not particularly clear, but "relatively clear", if you want to see something farther away, it can only be described as vague.

This time, what he wants to see is no longer at the level of ambiguity, but somewhere between "relatively clear" and "ambiguous".

Mohm saw the vague shape of the ship, with a lower head resembling the body of a ship, with a wide deck, but thinner than a wooden Galen.

"Is this a ship or not, hell, why doesn't it have sails?" Mom wasn't sure if it was an island or something else.

"Is it a sea monster?" A more reasonable answer flashed through Momm's mind.

The lookout put down the binoculars and shouted to the sailor below, "Report, we have noticed a strange creature approaching us, the bearing is 30 degrees to the port side, and the visual inspection is ......" He paused, thinking about the distance between the two in his mind, and looked again with the binocular, only to see that the shape of the other party was a little clearer, and it seemed that the distance was a little closer.

How come it is a little closer, it is not that its speed is very fast, Mom's mind is still quite clear, and many years of sailing experience make him most vigilant about the existence of sea monsters.

It's not that there are no sea monsters in the Storm Strait of the Tiger Country, but the probability of sea monsters appearing is relatively small, because there are a large number of islands nearby, and the bottom of the sea is not particularly deep, and life here is not suitable for the huge size of sea monsters.

"Predict a distance of three thousand meters, the speed is a little fast, it is very likely to be a sea monster, be careful!" The lookout said in a trembling voice.

"Okay." The orcs under the mast waved their hands to show that they understood.

When the orcs learned that a sea monster was coming, they rubbed their hands together excitedly, carrying cannonballs and gunpowder onto the deck, and the gunners poked the barrel with a mop and vigorously wiped the gunpowder residue in the chamber.

Front-loading artillery is this trouble, every time before firing to clean the chamber, the orcs don't quite understand the principle, in short, rote memorization of the shooting process specifications on the line.

After clearing the chamber, the gunner ran to the captain's room again and asked the captain if he was ready to fill the gunpowder and shells.

At this moment, Quake was hypnotizing a tiger orc with his hands tied, asking him for information in his head, and he was stunned when he heard the gunner's inquiry.

Someone came in just now to report that there was a creature suspected of being a sea monster, and he was still interrogating others, so he didn't care much about the sea monster, and he didn't really believe that there would be a sea monster in the Storm Strait, so he waved his hand to let the orcs observe further.

Hearing that the gunner was about to load the gunpowder, he realized that something was wrong, "Is there a sea monster?" ”

The gunner shook his excited tiger tail, curling and shaking, "Back to my lord, the lookout said that it was a little different, and the other party was more like an unknown ship." ”

"Oh, are there any of the orc pirates who have slipped through the net?" Quake looked at the tiger man kneeling on the floor.

The body of the tiger man is very strong, with muscles that are visible to the naked eye, pinched by hand as if pinched steel, and there are many bloodshot eyes.

When he saw Quaker, his eyes were red, his muscles were faintly a quarter larger, and his mouth was hoarse like a beast, and he felt a sense of strength.

But such hoarseness was useless, not only did the orc tie his hands to death, but dozens of long iron needles pierced the specific acupuncture points of the tiger man, making all his struggle in vain.

"Do you have reinforcements?" Quake plays with taste.

"Phew!" Tigerman Langdon Spat out, "I don't have reinforcements, you humans have already won." ”

"Yes, then I'll take you out to see if it's the reinforcements you prepared." Quake looked at the tiger man with contempt, and the tigerman's eyes were briefly confused, and he had been hypnotized again.

A minute later, the old pirate Langton came back to his senses and was at the front of the ship's deck, his knees on the deck, the wind blowing through his beard like a knife.

He just looked into the distance, his originally angry expression changed, and his face was full of doubt.

In the extreme distance, the dark shadow of the ship is getting closer and closer, with no sails, a sharpened bow, a graceful lean hull, and a trapezoidal bridge.

"It's a boat!" Langdon was even more confused, in his impression there were no reinforcements, and besides, there was only one ship in the distance, and there were no more than a dozen escort ships, how could he save people if he was alone?

At this time, Captain Quake's lookout also saw a clearer mirror, which was a black-painted knife-cut hull, like a sharp knife breaking through the waves and clattering high-speed course.

In a telescope, its clarity changes with each second.

"What kind of strange ship is this, I have never seen such a ship, it is like a ship made of steel." Lookout Momm was surprised.

At this time, the human captain Quake also climbed the mast, took out his own lookout glasses, and looked at the ship in the distance.

The black steel hull, the trapezoidal steel bridge, and the tall round cylinder pillar behind the bridge, the chimney mouth is emitting a black plume of smoke, which is blown back by the sea breeze and turns into crooked smoke after flying into the sky.

At the sight of the sailless steel ship, Quake chuckled in his heart, and his heart turned over like a bright lightning bolt across his brain.

Click! The lightning in his heart was so bright, and his voice was so intense, Quake's breathing became heavy, and the smile that had been hanging on the corner of his mouth slowly retracted.

Mohm, the lookout, looked at the lonely iron ship in the distance, put down the binoculars, and found that the regimental commander, Master Quake, was also beside him, he folded his legs and straightened his waist, and asked with curious eyes:

"Lord Quake, that ship seems to be made of iron, can a ship with a large block of iron sail on the seas, why doesn't it sink into the water?"

When Momm finished asking, he noticed that Master Quake's forehead was sweating profusely, his lips were trembling slightly, and his hands holding the telescope were shaking.

The knowledge of the sailors of the Tiger Country is really not very good, although the captain of the Quake regiment has been crazy to promote knowledge in these months, but the pirates are used to living a free and casual life, and the learning efficiency is still a little low, and now they have only finished learning basic elementary school mathematics, and navigation, marine knowledge and other sea-related knowledge.

More advanced knowledge such as chemistry and physics have not yet been learned, and Quake originally planned to transfer the knowledge of chemistry and physics to the land academy, or steal the achievements of other players and take the formed academy for himself.

Now the lookout has the disadvantage of not knowing physics, he doesn't understand how the big piece of iron floats on the surface of the sea, let alone its terrifying speed, it only took a short time to go from the "blurry" image in the lookout to the "relatively clear"!

"That's a steel ship, damn it!" Quake stared at the ship in the telescope, and when he saw the tripod-shaped six-barreled rotating machine gun on the ship, his eyes almost cracked and he trembled with anger.
