Chapter 147: Landing
"Laura, I don't mind following you to the ends of the earth, are you sure it's there? The aura doesn't seem to be very good there," Jonah said, looking at the raging wind and waves in the distance, to Laura on the side.
"Uh...... It was supposed to be a storm at sea, and compared to the Dragon Triangle, Bermuda was a pediatric," Alex said as he fiddled with the all-new Osben production of Chaoji.
"The legend of Queen Himiko was able to call the wind and rain, and the legend is usually somewhat substantiated," Laura said, looking in that direction.
"So it's decided?" Sprint asked, "It looks a little bad, but my boys can handle it." ”
Soon, with everyone's support, Laura finalized the final plan, and the warship turned its bow and headed for the most treacherous part of the Dragon Triangle.
"Sir, the target ship has turned around and is heading towards the Dragon Triangle area, shall we continue to follow?" On board the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine, an agent with the instrument in front of the operator asked John Gatler.
"Of course, keep tracking," John Gatler replied without thinking.
"Sir, an additional target has been spotted, according to the logo, it is a French Ruby-class submarine" At this time, the sonar detector suddenly shouted "They have also spotted us"
"What? French? Aren't they staying on their own turf, what are they doing in the Pacific Ocean, didn't they suffer enough from Godzilla last time? Hearing his subordinates' report, John Gatler couldn't help but frown.
If it were any other time, John Gatler would definitely order his subordinates to use clear code to power the other party and let the other party identify themselves, but now he can't, he is acting secretly, if he uses clear code, wouldn't it tell Totuga his existence?
"Regardless of him, let's continue to follow Totuga" After a slight thought, John Gart chose to ignore the other party and continued to quietly follow Totuga.
And on the Ruby-class nuclear submarine, a man dressed in black, with a katana at his waist and a white-haired hedgehog head, gave the same order.
Both sides tacitly chose to ignore each other, followed the Totuga, and entered the Dragon Delta region.
The Dragon Triangle region, a Devil's Triangle area as civilized as the Bermuda Triangle, often sees ships and planes disappear in this area.
The ultimate reason for this is the frequent stormy weather in this area.
As soon as the Totuga had sailed into the area, it had to deal with this kind of weather.
Although the Totuga is a warship, and it is a relatively stable landing ship, it is still extremely small in the face of the forces of nature, and everyone can clearly feel the power of the storm.
But in the feelings of ghostly people like Chris and Frank Fox, it's a different story entirely.
Spectral energy, the air is full of discrete ghostly energy, and it is these discrete ghostly energy that makes the weather in this area so bad.
"Is this the power of Himiko? Isn't that scary? Feeling the ghostly energy in the air, Fawkes said with a solemn face.
"No, this can't be the power of Himiko" Chris shook his head, the discrete ghost energy in the air is very huge, if this is really the power of Himiko, then it can only be said that Himiko's ghost energy level far exceeds the boundary of level ten, but this is obviously impossible.
Because of the era in which Himiko lived, but 17,800 years ago, if Himiko could really live for so long and still have such a huge amount of ghost energy, then it can only be said that Himiko's ghost energy level far exceeded the boundary of level ten, and even level 12 could not be stopped.
But is it possible? If he really possessed such a powerful ghostly power, how could such a humble miko be bound by a mere rotten body? You've already reached the realm of detachment, right?
And if this possibility is ruled out, then there is only one possibility left, that is, there is another hidden energy spring in this sea, and it is very likely that it is similar to the material type of dark energy spring like the Kaidarin crystal.
Even the fact that Himiko's soul was able to survive in the decaying body for such a long time was most likely due to this fountain of ghostly energy.
Otherwise, unless the ghost energy of the real transcendent level is reached, there is no soul that can be maintained for thousands of years without a physical body without dissipation, which is impossible even if Odin comes.
And is Himiko possible to surpass Odin's strength? Obviously, this is not possible.
"Yes, I can feel it, I can mobilize the ghost energy in the air, although it is a little difficult because the power is so large, but I can control them" Frank said as he closed his eyes and felt the ghost energy in the air.
Among the three, Frank is now the strongest, so he has a more acute sense of ghost energy, and Chris's speculation is quickly confirmed.
It's true that Himiko can control the area of the Dragon Triangle region, but this is not her own power, but the power of the region itself, and all Himiko needs to do is use her own ghost energy to drive this huge force.
This is probably why Himiko didn't stay in the footbasin chicken islands, but ran to a ghost place like the Dragon Triangle where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back to be his royal court.
Because only here can she have the power of a true god, and she is the true queen of the storm.
And leaving this area, Himiko is probably just a relatively powerful ghostly at best.
Chris, who understood all this, couldn't help but start to have great expectations for this trip, which he originally thought was not very meaningful.
If he can find the source of this ghostly energy, his strength will definitely develop by leaps and bounds.
While the three of Chris felt the source of the ghost's energy, the Totuga continued to work hard towards the heart of the Dragon Triangle.
The closer they got to the core of the Dragon Triangle, the bigger the storm became, and the more the three of Chris could feel the rich ghostly energy in the air.
Just as the three of Chris were intoxicated, the Totuga suddenly roared, making a loud noise, and at the same time there was a violent vibration, and several naval soldiers who were still working overtime were caught off guard and were directly swept into the sea by the huge waves and lost their tracks.
The piercing sound immediately resounded throughout the battleship.
"Mr. Osborne, the battleship has hit the rocks, and we must abandon the ship," said a naval officer, braving a raging storm as he walked to the cabin where Chris and the three men were.
"Is it bad?" Chris asked, feigning concern.
"Actually, it's not too bad, after all, the Totuga itself is a landing ship, and the cabin is a semi-draft, so even if it hits the rock, as long as it does not hurt the main body of the ship, there is basically no danger of sinking," the officer explained.
"Then why are we risking logging in?" Chris frowned, "Aren't those landing craft more likely to be blown over by storms?" ”
"There is no way, although it will not sink, but the problem has just hit the rocks, so we have lost a lot of important supplies, especially fresh water and food, staying here, we can't get any supplies, so we can only temporarily go to the island to find a way" The officer explained helplessly.
"Okay, then we'll let you do it," Chris nodded.
"Thank you, sir" Seeing Chris's cooperation, the officer also breathed a sigh of relief, if this master made up his mind to stay on the ship, he really couldn't do anything, but in that case, his subordinates would be in trouble, maybe he would have to use the landing craft to send living supplies to this master from time to time, according to the situation in this ghost place, this is definitely a dangerous job.
With Chris's consent, everyone on board immediately went into action.
As a large-tonnage dock landing ship, the Totuga can carry nine LCAC air-cushion landing craft or 21 LCM-type mobile landing craft.
Of these two landing craft, each of which can carry a tank and dozens of soldiers, or hundreds of soldiers.
However, because this is not a combat mission, the Totuga did not carry so many landing craft, let alone any tanks, but only carried 4 LCAC air-cushion landing craft as a backup.
However, it was enough, because the Totuga was normally full of operators, there were not more than 300 people, and because this was a non-combat mission, the personnel were halved, counting the people of the Perseverance and Chris, the total number of people was only about 120 people, and under normal circumstances, one landing craft was enough.
However, just in case, Captain Sprint still ordered all the landing craft to be activated, so that each landing craft only has about 30 people, and the pressure is very small.
And it was not only the landing craft that was activated, but also the two CH-46 Sea Knight transport helicopters that the landing ship originally carried.
However, the ensuing landing operation did not go as smoothly as Sprint had imagined, and it could even be said to be terrible.
