Chapter 481: Distress at Sea 1
Flowing down the Yandang River, the five ancient warships loaded with the Nirvana Expeditionary Force quickly sailed into the mouth of the Yandang River.
When I arrived here, the surface of the Yandang River suddenly widened. Yue Tian, who was standing on the bow of the ship, had already smelled the smell of the sea through the evening breeze blowing his cheeks.
This time, the Nirvana Expeditionary Force set out for Jipeng, and each ancient warship carried at least 2,000 members of the expeditionary force. Each battleship has reached saturation capacity.
Although it was uncomfortable to be crammed into the cabin, it was not a small difficulty in order to realize the dream of an expedition to Jipen. Moreover, from the moment it set off, the ancient warship moved very smoothly, and the officers and men of the expeditionary force in the cabin did not feel any discomfort at all. Some players even sit on the floor and play poker to kill their boring time.
Finally, with nine cannon shots, the five ancient warships slowly sailed into the magnificent East China Sea.
Entering the vast sea, the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force in the cabin immediately felt the difference.
Under the turbulence of the waves, the sway of the battleship increased significantly. Many first-time sailing players are starting to look ugly.
Although there is no way to vomit in the game, the other symptoms of seasickness are the same as in the real world. The feeling of being upset and disgusting is beyond words.
As the ancient warship gradually sailed into the depths of the sea, the wind and waves on the sea gradually increased. The officers and men of the expeditionary force in the cabin were miserable.
Although the wind and waves in the East China Sea are a little stronger tonight, the weather is relatively clear. Engineers such as the Piercing Dragon, who piloted the ancient warship, didn't even need to look at the nautical instruments and compass, they could use the stars in the night sky to discern directions.
Just keep going at your current speed. The Nirvana Expeditionary Force was able to reach the Goto Islands west of Jipon in three hours.
The Goto Islands are a group of islands in the eastern part of the country of Gipon, which is much more remote than the rest of Gipon.
If the Nirvana Expeditionary Force wants to harass and attack Jipon players for a long time. It is necessary to establish its own landing base as soon as it lands in Jipen.
With a solid landing base, the Nirvana Expeditionary Force could use it as a base. As a springboard, launch a powerful attack on the important main city in the hinterland of Gipon.
In Yue Tian's plan, the Goto Islands off the western coast of Jipon were the best places for the Nirvana Expeditionary Force to establish a landing base.
However, it was not easy for the Nirvana Expeditionary Force to reach the Goto Islands smoothly.
What Yue Tian was most worried about was that the Nirvana fleet encountered the legendary "divine wind"!
In the history of Kyushu, several powerful dynasties have launched expeditions against the island of Jipeng.
But I don't know if it's a coincidence or other reasons, but when the powerful dynasties of Kyushu sent a large fleet to Jipeng, they would always be hit by a terrible typhoon on the sea.
Ancient wooden sailing ships were vulnerable to typhoons, so the Kyushu fleet that set out for Jipeng was wiped out after the typhoon.
Therefore, the Jipon people have a superstitious belief that they are protected by a "kamikaze" incarnated by the emperor's gods. The kamikaze has also become the object of worship for the Jipon people.
In Yue Tian's previous life. Players in Kyushu have also organized a fleet expedition to Jipeng, but like their ancestors who went on an expedition to Jipeng thousands of years ago, they were unfortunately hit by a typhoon on the sea. Tens of thousands of Kyushu players were killed in the fierce typhoon, and the feat of the expedition to Jipeng was put to rest.
"Kamikaze" seems to have become an unbreakable sea curse, which makes countless Kyushu players with dreams of expedition to Jipeng daunted by the sea.
Ever since the fleet of the Nirvana Expeditionary Force sailed into the sea, Yue Tian had been paying attention to the weather conditions on the sea. According to the weather forecast in the reincarnation realm, there should not be much wind and waves on the East China Sea tonight.
However, Yue Tian didn't dare to be careless. Because he clearly knows the way, in the face of natural disasters such as typhoons at sea. No matter how awesome the ancient warships are, they are just floating clouds.
Just after the Nirvana Expeditionary Force fleet had been on the sea for about two hours, suddenly!
"Bell, bell......" A rapid bell broke the silence of the sea!
Yue Tian hurriedly followed the bell and looked, only to see that the Nirvana player who was in charge of observing the sea at the observation platform at the height of the mast rang the alarm bell.
"What's the situation?" Thorn Dragon Tomb asked loudly at the players at the observatory.
"Report! A large dark cloud has been spotted ahead! The Nirvana player in charge of observing the sea replied loudly.
Yue Tian, Thorn Dragon Tomb and the others hurriedly came out of the control room, and they climbed to the highest point of the deck to look at the sea in front of them.
Sure enough! I saw it right in front of the Nirvana Expeditionary Force fleet. A large dark cloud is rolling in!
"Wouldn't it? Did you really run into a kamikaze? This Nima is too awesome, right? Looking at the black and oppressive dark clouds in front of him, Yue Tian couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
"Boss, that dark cloud is coming quickly! If we don't adjust our course quickly. I'm afraid it's too late! Thorn Dragon Mausoleum said to Yue Tian.
"Pass my order, and all the ships will be fully ruddered. Dodge typhoons at full speed! Yue Tian immediately made a decision.
"Yes!" Thorn Dragon Tomb hurriedly ran back to the console and sent orders to the other four ancient warships.
As the clouds approached, the wind on the sea became fierce. Heavy rain began to fall in the sky.
The waves on the sea surface are getting bigger and bigger, and the huge ancient warship is as small as a flat boat on the undulating and turbulent sea.
When all five ancient warships turned around, a monstrous wave had already set off on the sea!
I saw huge waves dozens of meters high hitting one after another! The ancient warships were sometimes pushed to the cusp of the storm, and sometimes they fell into the deep valley of the waves.
How can the soldiers of the expeditionary force in the cabin now be described in a tragic word!
Under such a large bump, even the sailors who go to sea all year round are not able to bear it, let alone these expeditionary force players!
However, the only thing to be thankful for is that due to the timely turn of the Nirvana expeditionary fleet, although they did not escape the range of the typhoon in time, they managed to avoid the center of the typhoon with the most violent storm.
Despite this, the Nirvana Expeditionary Force fleet is still not out of danger at the moment, as the storm on the sea becomes more and more violent, as long as one is not careful or unlucky, they are still in danger of being destroyed and killed.
At this moment, the engineering players who were responsible for driving the ancient warship such as Thorn Dragon Ling were highly concentrated, and in order to control the battleship steadily, they all tied themselves to their respective seats with ropes.
The sea was dark, and the strong wind mixed with the torrential rain made it impossible for Thorn Dragon Ling and the others to see the surrounding situation clearly, they could only try their best to stabilize the battleship from being overturned by the huge waves, as for where the battleship was heading at the moment, it was completely out of their control.
Just when the Nirvana Expeditionary Force fleet was struggling to support itself in the storm, suddenly! A huge black shadow jumped out of the sea not far away! (To be continued......)
