When the afterglow of the setting sun stains the red horizon, a large mist inexplicably appears in the clear sky, spreading eastward along the "Bagel Strait", as if the sea is boiling and steaming. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This fog that appeared out of thin air drifted against the wind in an eerie manner, reaching a height of 1,000 feet below the sea, and the damp fog spread for ten miles, and the field of view was greatly limited when you were in it, and the objects separated by ten feet could only faintly see the vague outline, and the distance was almost impossible to distinguish.

The ten-mile mist moved evenly across the sea at a speed of 20 knots, and it was difficult to completely dispel it even if the wind and waves were strong. In the middle of the mist was a heavy cruiser that rode the wind and waves, this behemoth was three hundred feet long from end to tail and nearly a hundred feet wide at its widest point, with a hull made of steel throughout, and towering towers built from end to end, like two giants facing each other.

Titled the Sea Palace, the proud flagship of the Monster Island Navy, the white sails propped up by the mainmast are painted with a black trident, the emblem of Balor Vermore, and the symbol of the pirate queen Kraken's megatron North Bay.

The double-deck guns are equipped with a total of forty 24-pounder Crystal cannons, ensuring that the Sea Palace has the firepower of any other warship in the North Gulf, but not its most formidable weapon. Kraken personally participated in the construction of this battleship, and used her legendary magic to contaminate two spells for the "Sea Palace", one is the "Magic Duncan Forbidden Zone" known as the "Legendary Little Black House", and the other is the ten-mile obstacle, the former can block the detection and detection spells from the enemy, the latter can reduce the noise of the steam turbine, and more importantly, hinder the detection and bombing from the air, the effect is much better than the smoke barrier released by ordinary warships, and the "True Knowledge" cannot be seen through, "Dissolve the magic" It was only able to suppress a small patch of fog temporarily.

These two magical magical enchantments act like a locking lock to the Sea Palace that shelters the city, but not everyone likes the fog.

"Damn it! There is fog everywhere, and even if you stand high, you can't see the situation in the distance. We stayed in this hellish place and endured the dry air, just to drink the northwest wind! ”

There is a circular lookout platform in the middle of the main mast of the "Sea Palace", and two pirates sit on a high platform, one of them is a green-skinned fishman with a fish-headed body, and his webbed hands hold the monoculars, and he wanders around through the tube, but all he sees is mist, and a wide mouth keeps spewing dirty words, and mutters curses in a low voice to the boatswain who arranged for him to be a sentry.

Next to the Sawa Fishman sat a half-breed. His complexion is the same grayish-green as that of the Sawa Fishman, and his skin is like a moist mucous membrane, allowing him to breathe freely in the sea, but he feels suffocated when exposed to the air for a long time, but his facial features are not as ugly as the pure-blooded Sawa Fishman, and his physique is also short and dexterous, with distinct sea elf features.

"Murraygan, complain less, for if the boatswain hears you, he will surely chop you to pieces." Half-breed fishmen persuade their companions.

"Mattilin! You lowly bastard, don't talk cool things! Shahua Fishman made no secret of his contempt for his companion who had half of the blood of the Sea Elves, "Tell me what is the use of releasing the obstacle, if you can't say it, Lao Tzu will throw you down and smash you into a meat pie!" ”

The Sawa Fishman has always regarded the sea elves as mortal enemies, and most of the half-breeds like Matirin are the descendants of the sea elf female slaves who are the ** of the Sawa Fishmen, and they are generally discriminated against in the pirate society of the giant demon island, where humans and Sawa fishmen occupy the mainstream position, and over time he will get used to it.

"Morrigan, Admiral Maximian led the task force to secretly sail this time, the purpose of which is to surprise attack Baigull Harbor, give a little color to the Yangbo family who refuse to obey His Majesty Kraken's will, and let them know who is the real person in the North Bay, but Baigull Harbor is not a bone to gnaw on, if we openly attack Baiou Harbor, it is inevitable that we will have a head-on conflict with the coast guard, even if we can win after the fierce battle, we will inevitably pay huge sacrifices, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to suppress the shore defense position of Baiou Harbor after that, So we need to open the ten-mile obstacle and sail secretly. ”

"Hah! You're better than you sing, Mattilyn, and if your brain isn't getting air, you've at least heard that the White Gull Harbor Coast Guard has domesticated a swarm of giant eagles to act as sentinels, and those damned birds of prey will immediately notice the fog below if they fly over our heads, and unless the eagles are as stupid as you are, how can they not suspect that something is hidden beneath the fog? ”

"Morrigan, you're right, it's unusual to have a large fog floating on the surface of the sea on such a clear day, and the giant eagles are likely to guess that the 'Sea Palace' is sailing, but they can't accurately detect the number of ships sailing with the 'Sea Palace'."

Matillin subconsciously looked back. The fog obscured his vision, but he knew very well that the "Sea Palace" was followed by four light cruisers "North Wind", "South Wind", "Canglong" and "Ichthyosaurus", eight destroyers, and a large number of auxiliary ships, almost overwhelming!

Thirteen warships formed a task force that roamed the North Bay, with nearly 6,000 sailors accompanying the fleet, expecting a windfall.

In this day and age, the Sea Palace is a state-of-the-art shipbuilding experience. The propulsion system consisting of a longitudinal and horizontal combined sail and steam propeller is powerful, with a maximum speed of 32 knots and a cruising speed of 20 knots. The hull is boldly constructed of all steel, and the enchantment technology overcomes the corrosion of the sea, like a strong steel fortress, no wonder Maximian, the Admiral of the Giant Demon Island, once proudly proclaimed: The Sea Palace is the unsinkable floating island of the North Bay!

The cost of building new warships was huge, and the pirates had nothing to spare. With the exception of the "Sea Palace", the flagship of the façade, the other ships of the task force did not use the extremely expensive all-iron armor enchantment technology, but continued to use a hybrid of sails and old-fashioned steam paddle wheels, using fir and oak as materials, traditional tools to steam and make hulls, and wrap copper hulls below the waterline instead of enchanting and anti-rust technology.

The sea voyage was stormy and stormy, the ships were not easy to turn around, and they could not step on the brakes in case of accidents, and the huge warships were too close to each other and were prone to collisions.

However, just as the task force arrived in the waters near the Mermaid Islands, the silence was suddenly broken!

Swish! A pillar of teleportation light appeared on the deck of the "Sea Palace", and the magic fluctuations dispersed the dense fog, which immediately aroused the alarm of the two sentinels, Morrigan and Matillin, and looked down carefully, and a bewitching young woman loomed in the thick fog.
