34 This is the sea of dragons

When an epoch-making technique or theory is applied on the battlefield, the role is often decisive. Steamships are not only superior to traditional sailboats in terms of speed, but also unmatched in their maneuverability and flexibility. The naval battle that took place at the edge of the Sea of Dragons saw the overwhelming superiority of the new technology, and the originally superior Dragon fleet was slaughtered in an instant, once again showing the great power that the steam engine brought to the Spellet Empire.

The merchant and cargo fleets behind the Pearl were like burning buoys, making their last dying struggles on the sea, salvaging the suffering crew during the passage of unaffected ships. From the appearance of the Black Ships, to the sinking of three warships, to the damage to several ships, the Sun's position shifted only slightly towards the middle of the sky—the terrifying efficiency sent chills down the shoulders of those watching the slaughter.

The Black Ship was heading towards the Pearl at incredible speed, and it had sharpened its guns and was ready to attack the target in front of the Pearl.

"Dragon—bless us—" The Dragons aboard the Pearl still didn't give up calling for the Dragon, and more Dragons gathered on deck, including the Singer from Deeds Village.

The Black Ship once again passed to the right of the Pearl at extremely high speed, this time in the same direction as the Pearl. Milo and the others had no intention of looking at the black ship passing by, they were trying to find the Seagull, but they still found nothing.

The Black Ship overtook the Pearl, leaving the Dragons' invectives behind, and a new hunt was about to begin......

The singer Jasmine covered her mouth with her hands, and tears flowed down her eyes. The Dragonians on the ship still didn't give up shouting: "Dragon—"

A wave rushed over, and the Pearl jolted. People felt a little strange, how could the Pearl, which had always sailed smoothly, suddenly bumper?

A large, blurry black shadow swam underneath the Pearl, but no one noticed it. The black ship continued to move wildly, not noticing the fangs of a terrible monster beneath the surface of the sea behind it......

"Click!"

It was as if it was a loud noise coming from the deep sea, something was broken, and the people of the Pearl could clearly hear it, and the sound was coming from the direction of the black ship. At the same time as the loud bang, there was a scene that everyone could not believe: the black ship stopped! Not a slowdown, but a sudden immobility!

From the Pearl, several black dots flew out of the bow of the black ship and fell into the sea—the ship suddenly stopped moving, and the people and objects on the deck were thrown out by inertia, but they were lucky, and those who were not thrown out and the people in the cabin were thrown heavily on the wooden hull with a "click" sound—was it the sound of the planks shattering or the sound of broken bones?

The sudden change made the shouting on the Pearl come to an abrupt end, and even Milo and the others stopped searching for the Seagull and turned to look at the location of the black ship.

The Black Ship was still in that position, in front of the Pearl's right, motionless. The propeller stirred up a huge wave, and the black boat remained still; The sails were lowered and blown by the sea breeze, and the black ship remained still; The pitch-black chimney spewed smoke, and the black ship remained motionless; The crew members who had been miserably thrown let out a groan of pain, and the black ship remained still...... The black ship is like being nailed to the surface of the sea, motionless!

"Something, under the surface of the sea, clamped it......" said the captain of the Pearl.

"Dragon, it's a dragon! The dragon is coming!! ”

The Dragons began to shout wildly, cheering and tearful.

"Click...... Click! There was another loud noise, and one could see that the hull of the black ship was twisting, and the hull was tilting to one side, and soon it was tilting to the other side, and the back and forth tilting made the three masts of the black ship break in turn, and the sails slapped on the surface of the sea, making a loud sound of slapping water.

"Smack-" The sound was like a giant clapping his hands.

The black ship continued to sway from side to side, sometimes to the left, then to the right, while also spinning in circles, and the onlookers soon discovered that the black ship was sinking!

"Die! Bandit! Jasmine cursed and waved an insulting gesture at the Black Ship, and the other Dragons joined in calling for the dragon instead of calling for the Dragon.

The black ship continued to sway and spin, and after several ups and downs, there was a loud "bang-" on the ground, as if there had been an explosion, and like a salvo of dozens of artillery!

"Ahh Parrett exclaimed, his hands shaking.

The black ship began to make a twisted "squeak" sound, and the part that was still on the surface of the sea also sank rapidly.

Suddenly, a loaded gun misfired during the rotation of the ship's hull, and fire and white smoke erupted from the cannon, and the muzzle of the gun happened to be directly opposite the Pearl!

"Danger!" "Get down" "It's not good, it's not good, it's not good-" ...... Loud shouts filled the Pearl, and there was chaos.

The crew and the Dragonians were lying on deck; Night Sparrow and Snow Dog wanted to use a magic shield to block the cannonball, but they had no choice but to lie down like everyone else because the cannonball was too fast. Erin and Milo also threw themselves on the deck - everything happened in an instant. Cannonballs flew over the Pearl, and everyone on deck could feel the heat and howling air.

"It's okay, it's still far away." Parrett was the first to calm down, reminding everyone that they were fine. Melo pulls up Erin, who is fine except for some fright. The captain and crew quickly checked to see if the sails had been ignited by the passing heat, but luckily none of this happened.

The crowd on the Pearl looked at the black ship again—the hull part of the ship, which was still on the surface of the sea, began to crack and spew out columns of water like whales, and the towering columns of water released the pressure of the air inside. The hull of the ship is sinking at an accelerated rate, and many crew members can be clearly seen jumping out of the cracks in the hull, crawling out, or being washed out by air waves and water columns.

The stern of the black ship had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and more crew and sailors were floating on the sea, picking up floating splinters, barrel wreckage, and everything else that could float, trying not to sink in the rough seas.

With the sound of "squeaking" wooden planks breaking, the bow of the ship, which had been raised, instantly toppled over and smashed into the sea - the hull of the black ship broke in the middle.

"Look how the dragon retaliates against you!" "Accept the sanctions!" "Long live the dragon!" The Dragons began to cheer and roar again, but soon they fell silent—

The bow of the black ship was raised high again, pointing straight to the sky. From time to time, bubbles bubble up on the surface of the sea, which is the result of an explosion in the hull of the ship under the surface of the sea, and from time to time there is a dull explosion sound of "bang". In the midst of the spray and crackling, the bow of the ship sank in a daze, and at the last moment, it spun at high speed, and quickly sank into the sea, forming a huge whirlpool - the crew floating on the sea was sucked down by the strong suction, and they did not want to float to the surface until the whirlpool disappeared.

The black ship sank completely, leaving only the shipwrecked crew on the surface of the sea shouting hoarsely.

……

A deep voice came from the bottom of the sea, and the voice gradually became louder, depressive and refreshing. Gradually, the voice expanded, and the tone also increased, becoming majestic and powerful, wide and bold, which made people feel soft and beautiful......

"It's the dragon, the dragon is roaring, it's responding to us." The Dragons aboard the Pearl fell to their knees with their hands folded in the direction of the sinking of the Black Ship, as if praying for the blessing of the dragon, or for themselves and their country. In the face of people who believe in such unity, Milo and the others can't help but be stupid.

Jasmine, the singer from Deeds Village, the only one still standing, closed her eyes, folded her hands, and sang a melodious and melodious song, which was "To the Dragon" that Milo and Erin had heard the night before:

In the distant blue sea, the ship moves forward under the protection of the dragon;

The moon is bright, the wind is quiet, and the sea is flat;

The clouds and mist cover the banner of the mast, don't be afraid, the dragon is here,

Life is still harmonious and peaceful.

……

Most of the passengers heard the singing and walked out of the cabin, where they saw a tragic scene on the sea:

Far behind the Pearl, several sailing ships were blazing, billowing black smoke drifting into the clouds, and the wreckage of sunken sailing ships and warships was scattered near them, and many crew members were trying to call for help, and the ships that were not on fire were searching for survivors......

In front of the Pearl, on the right side, very close, hundreds of crew members floated on the surface, slapping the water with all their might, picking up everything they could find to float, and the death-conscious crew let out a miserable wail at all times......

The people on the deck of the Pearl watched in silence, and the once calm and peaceful sea was transformed into a killing field full of blood and fire, tears and wails—why is that?

Milo and the others didn't look for the Seagull anymore, they had already given up, but no one thought about those things, and the picture in front of them had already caused a huge impact on their hearts.

"It appeared?" A gentle voice rang out behind Milo, it was Koran Dutved.

Melo wanted to nod in response, but he also made sure that he hadn't seen the dragon with his own eyes, so he stopped nodding and couldn't say anything.

Kelan didn't get a response, and continued, "The dragon has been guarding this sea for hundreds of years. Without it, the Dragon Empire would have ceased to exist long ago. "Whether it's the up-and-coming Spreett, the old empire Aubei, or the rampant pirates, they all pose a great threat to Dragon, but if they attack from the sea, they are all repelled by the dragons...... Therefore, this sea area is called the Sea of Dragons. ”

Yes, this is the Sea of Dragons.

Jasmine's singing had ceased, the prayers of the Dragon had ended, and the sun had risen to its highest point—noon.

Erin suddenly remembered her conversation with Captain Finn:

“…… There can't really be a dragon, right? ”

"There really is!"

……

On the other side, Milo, Nightfinch, Snow Dog, and Parrett were in high spirits, and the muffled voice that had just come from the bottom of the sea was called the "roar" of the dragon, which they had heard two years ago at the foot of the snowy mountains north of Windtown......
