"Gurr-" After a series of water sounds, a long shadow shuttled by. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info There are undercurrents hidden in the sea, and it is difficult to find anything from the surface of the sea under the cover of the water body.

The tall mast swayed with the slight swaying of the ship's hull – the seafarers on the lookout were sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right. But these skilled old sailors clung to the clasp of the mast, and fixed themselves firmly to the lookout, no matter how the foothold swayed.

Standing on a high place, they looked around with wide eyes, occasionally using the semi-fixed monoculars to observe the surface of the sea nearby. But in all this calm environment, they didn't find anything to do.

However, unlike those ordinary sailors, since the vigilance order was issued, the middle and high-ranking people on the three frigates "Silver Sword Brave", "Mithril Core" and "Iron Curtain Barrier" all seemed to be tense. Because the fight is clear that the next battle is inevitable.

Even if you have to negotiate, you have to convince the violent predators before you can proceed. Otherwise, the next sea route will definitely not be able to operate normally. The only trouble was that those Naga, after seeing the Boreham fleet, felt that the odds of victory were not good this time and chose to retreat. Wait for the future ambush of merchant ships - in that case, it will be very difficult to deal with them.

"Mr. Boreham. Your performance like this is very hairy. Captain Badham on the side, looking at Barrett, who was silently wiping his blade, finally couldn't help but complain.

"I'm sorry." After looking up at Captain Bardham, Barrett turned his gaze back to the gunners to the side. After seeing the frightened eyes of those seamen, he immediately inserted the 'broken peak' into the scabbard.

Then he stood up and said, "But now even the official cabin has become like this because of the preparation for war. I don't have a problem preparing for the next possible battle! Even this scared you? ”

On this type of frigate produced by Boreham Consulate, the mid-level officer cabin itself is a reuse of the artillery deck. When there is nothing to do in normal times, it is naturally a place of rest and entertainment for officers. But once the crisis comes, it can be transformed back to its original appearance in a short time.

"Don't forget, Mr. Boreham. Here are artillery squads, not stormtroopers. "We can withstand flying wood chips, tumbling metal projectiles, and scorching flames. On the other hand, the requirements will inevitably be lower. Besides, the average pirate and monster is not as infiltrating as you just now. I don't think even a stormtrooper can stand seeing you like that. ”

The gunners in front of them formed a squad of 6 people each. From the conversation just now, Barrett understood that they often referred to each other by numbers, and did not care about each other's names—as if to simplify the order.

Among them, the No. 1 is the gun commander, who is responsible for filling the ammunition, firing the ammunition, facing the target and firing. Number two was responsible for turning the barrel as well as the height. Number three was responsible for loading the shells. Four is responsible for extinguishing the spark before reloading the ammo. Number Five was responsible for moving the barrel and passing the shells. 6 is responsible for carrying the fire and ammunition - it is the division of labor and cooperation of these crew members that allows the guns on the deck to operate efficiently.

"Was I really that scary just now?" Barrett, who withdrew his gaze, touched his chin.

Captain Badham nodded very hard: "If Ibu were here, he would definitely agree with what I just said." ”

"Alright! Then I'd better go to the upper deck and get ready, so as not to interfere with your normal work here. As he turned to leave, Barrett thought to himself, 'Is this a setting that the system doesn't specify?' Georgie hurried out to explain it to me. ’

'What do you call me again?' Although the marshmallow-like halo didn't appear, someone's voice came to Barrett's mind.

'Don't say it, I seem to call you all the time, otherwise I wouldn't be so bored during this time.' What was going on with that situation just now, and why were they scared of me? Barrett asked as he walked into the hallway, telepathic.

The white ball seemed to want to jump out, but just nodded but was pressed back by Barrett. In the end, he could only obediently convey the message inside: 'You have read the novel!' Even if I haven't read it, I remember that there is a message left by the Sanbao Dao people. ’

'You mean something like murderous?' Even if this is in that world, is it also in this game? Barrett was obviously scratching his head, "But if there is, why didn't he write it?" ’

It can't be said to be murderous, it's just an outward mental influence. At the beginning, with the legacy of the Three Treasures, you walked so much earlier than the promotion of knights, and this aspect is naturally mellow and introverted. But this character in the game is not like that in the eyes of the system. The 'Marshmallow' paused, 'You just gave the impression that you were a bloody machete!' ’

'Bloody machetes? Barrett, who had that image in his head, felt the blood vessels on his brain twitch for some reason.

Just as he was about to ask further, the deck beneath his feet suddenly began to shake at a distance. If it weren't for his own stable center of gravity, he might have fallen because of it. Even Barrett was like this, and the various facilities inside the ship were even more dire, although they had been tied up and reinforced beforehand because of the threat of battle. But there will still be some staggering and rolling on the deck.

'War? The alarm didn't go off? Surprise attack? Barrett, who had all three thoughts in quick succession, immediately added a kick and headed into the air—though he had to keep his head down carefully in the passage below, and his toes were only a few inches off the ground. But in this way, it will avoid what the rocking deck will do to Barrett and cause delay.

So while Barrett was already feeling the warmth of the sun, the alarm bell on the aft deck was just ringing. Subconsciously looking up, he found that the lookout on the top of the mast was empty at the moment, and the two lookouts who were supposed to be on it were nowhere to be found.

But then he withdrew his gaze, for Barrett knew that now was not the time to care about the missing. Falling from such a high position without hanging on the barricade net, the two seafarers were unlucky both when they landed on deck and in the water.

"Don't look those guys in the eye!" Just behind the Society, Eevee was wielding a scimitar to remind his men. Because there are individuals in the Naga group who can use their gaze to influence the minds of the other person, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the other party.

Although it was not a stunt that all Naga could master, Eevee, who had been notified in advance, would never dare to let his subordinates take risks. He had already been informed of Naga's strength, and he knew that there was less than a one-in-three chance that ordinary marines would get rid of that psychic effect.

'Naga has appeared. Barrett immediately had the idea, and then he rushed to the side of the boat and pulled out a metal tube from the space bag that turned around again - the foolish mistake of recklessly sticking his head out to observe, Barrett would not make.

Although under the dual protection of flashing and spell resistance, the vast majority of Naga's spells are not able to pose any threat to Barrett's life. But on the battlefield, you can't think everything in your favor. If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what happens - who knows if you will be caught in the soul if you memorize it!

Through the lens of the periscope, Barrett noticed that the waters around the Iron Curtain seemed to be boiling. Under the splash, black shadows appeared and disappeared. Suddenly, an ugly face popped out of the water, and a thick green liquid flew towards the deck.

"Wow!" A sailor hugged his arm with his white fascia exposed, and crouched behind the side of the ship screaming. In fact, if he hadn't subconsciously waved his hand just now, the 'strong acid arrow' sent out by Naga would have directly confused this guy's face. Judging from the strength of this acid, it is not only a matter of disfigurement, I am afraid that even rescue can be avoided.

He still has considerable experience in naval battles against the Iron Curtain. The seafarer had only been injured for a short time when medical personnel carried him on a stretcher into the cabin. Although I don't know what kind of treatment he will get inside, at least it won't affect morale on this deck.

'Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound kept coming from below the waterline, and it seemed that the Naga didn't seem to be planning to seize the ship or the material, but were planning to scuttle the ship - from that point of view, it seemed that the other party was not establishing a commercial writing with other land creatures. Otherwise, it will be the same as the fish-men Barrett encountered earlier, with the main goal of capturing the entire ship.

However, these three frigates, which were built as battleships, were not so easily destroyed by an attack from underwater. Even if you don't count the specially crafted companion, the teak wood treated with alchemical potions alone is enough to withstand the bombardment of several cannonballs. It is true that the ship could be broken if the Naga and their minions were allowed to attack the ship's side, but would the Lords of Boram do the same?

Soon the sloppy man who appeared from below deck with a burden in his arms stumbled to the side of the ship, and immediately pulled out one test tube after another and threw it into the sea. As the potions disappeared on both sides of the ship, it didn't take long for the 'long snakes' to jump and cheer in the sea.

Despite the observation from the periscope, the nagas were extremely uncomfortable because of the effects of the potion. But they didn't seem to suffer much damage either—it felt a bit like an unlucky kid who had been splashed with chili water, crying a lot, but actually had very limited impact.

Therefore, Barrett had to turn his head and ask, "Sir, how effective is that batch of potions just now?" ”

"Nope! No! No! I'm just an apprentice, and the mentor won't come to the deck! The sloppy man who heard this shook his head again and again, "These mixtures have been made by my mentor for the past three days. It is said to weaken the nagas' bodies, causing them to lose their strength and become unresponsive. ”

'The alchemy potion made in the past three days? But didn't Captain Bardem say that there was no way to conduct alchemical experiments on the ship? Thinking about this, Barrett seemed to suddenly remember something, "Maybe it's the difference between the two skill levels, which means that there is also a skilled alchemist on the ship......

Barrett, who found out that he didn't know the information before, actually felt a lot more relieved. Because this shows that the territory is quite thoughtful about the arrangement of this operation.
