Chapter 358: The Steel Monster Stopped in the Harbor

Several large ocean-going wooden sailing ships sailed the sea, and the lookout on the mast saw the shoreline and the outline of the new gray-white cement port on the shoreline.

"Southbank is almost here!" The lookout shouted.

When the sailors below heard the news, the depressed faces of the voyage finally smiled.

"After three days of running, I finally arrived in Southbank Town."

"yes, if it weren't for the sudden upside vortex that stopped us, we would have been in Southbank yesterday."

The sailors complained about what happened last night, and almost died on that large ocean whirlpool.

The large whirlpool appeared suddenly, without warning, and the crew was startled when they found the hull irreversibly driven by the currents.

Instead of going deep into the Sea of Death, they drove close to the coastline, a safe shipping lane, a safe lifeline that Lionheart had explored for hundreds of years, and no sea monsters appeared, but just last night, they encountered a large ocean whirlpool.

Luckily, their boat was a sail-and-manpower ship, and all the sailors rowed desperately to get out of the edge of the whirlpool.

Since it was night, the sky was overcast, and there were no stars or moon, so they couldn't tell how big the big vortex was, but their intuition assumed that it was quite amazingly large.

"Wow, what did I see, a steel monster!"

It was also at this time that the lookout gave an exclamation from the lookout, interrupting the crew's discussion about the events of the whirlpool last night.

"Daniel, what do you see, are you sure you're not talking nonsense?"

"I'm sure, really, I'm pretty sure I saw a steel monster!" Daniel said in horror.

When the orcs heard this, they all ran to the side of the boat and looked farthest, trying to see the steel monster.

After a while, the crew really saw a huge ironclad ship, slowly moving on the sea, and it was also heading towards the newly built reinforced concrete port area of Nan'an Town.

"What is that, it seems to be made of iron." The orcs wiped their eyes, thinking they were dazzled.

"Maybe last night's nightmare isn't over yet, why don't we go back to the boat and sleep."

The orc crew watched in horror as the ironclad ship drove ahead, and they all saw a string of ultra-long and extra-wide white sprays pulled out of the ironclad's tail.

The white sprays are long and wide, reminding the lookout of shooting stars in the sky, and they also drag their long tails when they flash in the sky.

According to the High Priestess of the Old Royal City of Lionheart, the meteor is a signal that a new god has come and the old god is sleeping.

After the meteor flashes, Lionheart needs to hold a solemn sacrifice to prove that his people revere the new gods, but not forget the contributions of the old gods, because the old gods still have the possibility of resurrection.

And at this moment, the lookout Daniel had that reverence for the gods in his heart.

"Could that monster be the creation of the god of the sea?" Daniel couldn't help but think so.

Last night, they encountered a large maelstrom, and if it weren't for the strength of the crew, I'm afraid they would all be caught in the center of the whirlpool at this moment.

Now seeing a steel monster, he subconsciously thought that the god of the sea was angry and sent the steel monster to punish the humans.

Because of the appearance of the ironclad ship, the captain from the port of Meitai decided to slow down and follow slowly, and if the situation was not good, the food they were carrying on this ship would not be delivered, and they would return the same way.

The ships followed for a while, and the cargo ships coming from other routes also entered the coastal area of the town of Southbank, and the captain changed course and approached the cargo ships, ready to question them.

The other cargo ship sailors also saw the giant steel ship, which had sailed into the new port of Southshore Town, and they did not know what was going on, and they did not dare to enter the port.

Several cargo ships were gathered together, connected by ropes, and then connected by decks, and several captains gathered together to discuss the ironclad.

"Captain Cook, it's great that you're here, do you know anything about the big iron ship, my sailors and I are so scared that we don't know whether to enter the harbor and unload it." The captain from the port of Meitai touched the bald head of the Mediterranean.

Meitai Port is a large port town in the west of Nan'an Town, because it is located at the mouth of the sea, there are developed town resources such as Lionheart City in the upper reaches of the canal, and its commerce is also very developed, and it is easy to purchase grain from the western region.

A large amount of grain from the western region departed from Meitai Port and was transported to the south bank, where it was sent by the orcs of Zai Nan'an Town to Saltpeter Town, and transported back to Tomorrow City by train.

"We in Shuizhu Harbor have heard that His Majesty Allen's ironclad ship is preparing to start the Kirishima expedition plan in the near future, maybe that ship is His Majesty Allen's ship." Captain Cook touched his lion's beard, a little unsure, but it was the only information he knew.

Speaking of His Majesty's Kirishima expedition plan, the captains remembered a report written in the Tomorrow's Newspaper that the shipyards of Tomorrow City were building the world's first steel steamship to explore the Kirishima coordinates of the Sea of Death.

The captains looked at each other and felt that it made sense.

Ten minutes later, the first wooden sail sailed into the South Shore harbor.

The closer the cargo ship in Meitai Harbor got to the port, the closer it got to the ironclad, and when the two ships were less than five hundred meters apart, the crew could clearly see that the hull of the black ironclad was painted with a line of white paint, which was written in the common orc language of the Lionheart Kingdom - Pioneer!

The Pioneer was about a hundred meters long, and their cargo ship was not that long, only fifty meters long, half the size of the Vanguard.

Looking at the size of the giant and the all-steel hull, the orcs in Meitai Harbor felt deeply uncomfortable.

"What a big iron ship." Daniel, the lookout, had gone down to the deck at this time, looked up at the ship, and did not understand how the other party had built it.

"How did you do such a ship?"

"Look at the hull, it's all steel!" The helmsman also stared directly at the hull of the ironclad ship, they were all old fritters of the sea, and they probably knew the manufacturing process of a ship.

Knowing how difficult a ship could be, they were even more shocked than the average sailor, and it was hard to imagine what kind of shipbuilding techniques Tomorrow City had used, turning steel into a huge hull.

"I have a friend who works in the royal blacksmith's shop, and he read the newspaper that Hijo was building steel steamships, and he said that steel ships can't be built because the steel plates are hard to sew together, and the weight can sink into the water."

"But what do we see now, the steel ship is really built, it won't get into the water, and it's a Big Mac!"

The orcs watched the ship over and over again, and they didn't even want to get off the ship, they just wanted to memorize every part of the ironclad ship in their minds.
