Chapter 21 Internal Troubles

"Whew!" The thick iron file slid over the thin bayonet, bringing a small spark, and the barbed sword was quickly pressed into a circular arc by the force brought by the iron file, but it failed to break the sword.

With a flick of her wrist, the tip of the sword staggered the iron file, and with a "bang", the sword bounced from under the heavy iron file.

Xu Mo only felt a figure flash in front of him, the red-haired beauty stepped on the mysterious dance steps, and with a twist, she deceived him within three feet, the stabbing sword in her hand lit up with a silver light, and the tip of the sword pointed at the back of his spear-holding hand.

The young admiral's eyes lit up, and his spear-holding hands tightened, but the thoughts in his mind dimmed again after an instant, and his hands loosened and jumped back slightly......

"Dangchang!" The heavy iron file fell on the deck of the Vasa with a loud bang.

"You've won, my stormtroopers!" Xu Mo smiled awkwardly at Christina, bowed gracefully, and turned his back to the captain.

"Hehe, Christina, congratulations on winning the last giant of Vestelos, it seems that the three giants of Vestelos are all in martial arts, and they have lost to you!" Tie Lilie on the side lifted the wine bottle and took a sip and said with a smile.

"No, Admiral Alfred...... I haven't lost yet! Hearing Tie Lilie's compliment, Christina didn't have a happy smile on her face, but frowned and looked at the iron file on the deck, a little stunned.

"The Admiral's weapons were all shot down by you, isn't it considered a loss? At least in terms of competition, it should be considered a loss! As for martial arts, Tie Lilie is a layman, and suddenly asked with a puzzled face.

"No, he just let it go. If he hadn't used such a heavy weapon and exchanged it for a real spear, he wouldn't have needed to let go! Christina tapped the Iron Rite on the back of her head, "and...... Although he was very skilled in spear skills just now, I always felt a little weird! ”

"Oh? When you say that, I remember. Admiral Hedram had said once before that Admiral Alfred seemed to like to use a dagg......er the most when he was fighting," Tie Lilie touched his chin and said in a pretended deep voice, "Haha, no matter what, he always admits defeat. Let's go have a drink and celebrate! ”

"Hee-hee, that's too!" A coquettish smile bloomed on Christina's face and she put away her sword.

After Christina and the Iron Train re-embarked, a sailor on duty on the deck looked back at the corner where the two had just fought, and muttered a few words.

"BOSS, why did you admit defeat just now, even if you don't use two golden weapons to take advantage of that beauty, you can use ghost steps to dodge Christina's stabbing blow?" When Xu Mo returned to the captain's room, there were incomprehensible questions from the team channel.

"Hehe, you guys just hid and peeked!" Xu Mo smiled, "Christina's martial arts have formed their own style, and they can be regarded as a master of swordsmanship. Even with ghost steps, it is not easy to win against her. What's more, in the martial arts competition, it is too boring to use the space-time footstep skill of ghost step. ”

As he spoke, Xu Mo shook the wine glass in his hand, and his face became serious, "There is another point, I want to remind you." Before I ran into the Temple of the Gods, in addition to Max, there were also Hong Jian and Li Ze, who protected Tie Lilie, not only me, but also others were not allowed to use martial arts that were not available in this era. ”

"Why?" Dinah's surprised voice came from the team channel, "If I can't use ice spells, it won't help the naval battle!" ”

"Boss, are you worried that there are reincarnators from other teams on the ship......" Serna suddenly asked softly.

"Not bad! I'm worried! After the last adventure, the history of the sea power era has been influenced by us to a certain extent! Sweden defeated Clifford, got the battleship blueprint and the hegemony of the North Sea, and it can be said that the original land lion has also become a shark in the ocean! ”

Xu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, "X-space can no longer be regarded as a rookie space, and I am afraid that a lot of reincarnation teams have also been invested in the space-time battlefield this time." An emerging maritime power like Sweden should be more than just us. ”

"BOSS, according to the principle of spatial balance, other teams should have a greater possibility, on the battleships of Hedram and Gerhardt, right?" Max asked, confused.

"Well, I don't rule it out!" Xu Mo nodded and said with a smile, "However, if you are the leader of another reincarnation team, you will just be assigned to a warship with a complete officer system. But then, there is still a chance to be selected into a new warship that the Admiral has just taken office, what will you choose? ”

“…… I'll pick a new ship! Max was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice, "If you perform well on the new battleship, you can get a greater chance of promotion!" ”

"BOSS, speaking of which, we are in danger of exposing our position to the Temple of the Gods on our own ship!" Serna said with a wry smile.

"Hehe, you're right! Few people know about the identities of me and Dinah. However, if there really is a Y-Space team on the Vaasa, we will still be easily exposed to the Temple of the Gods, so be careful! Xu Mo said lightly.

"Boss, if that's the case, do we need to hide our identities as well? After all, apart from Max, we didn't shoot during the day! Li Ze, who had been silent, asked, "Or we can search in advance, maybe we can find out their plot identity!" ”

"No, you don't! You, Hong Jian, and Max, the careers of the three of them are just harmonious, so that you can give others the impression of a small team and cover the plot identity of others! Xu Mo said meaningfully, "As for the search and exclusion...... There's no need. Soon, they will stand in front of Admiral Alfred and do their best for the Vasa! ”

The "......" team channel fell silent, and everyone felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

……

"Admiral, morning!" Tie Lilie held the steering wheel and looked back and smiled.

"Hey, there's fog on the sea?" Xu Mo rubbed his temples, he drank a lot of rum yesterday, and his head was still a little dizzy.

"Hehe, the fog will dissipate soon, and in the early morning of this season, there will be a little fog on the sea!" Tie Lilie said with a smile, "I saw the stars last night, and the fog won't last long!" ”

Xu Mo looked at his first mate appreciatively, and was very satisfied. For naval warfare, the climatic factors at sea are indispensable, and sometimes, the harsh climatic conditions are enough to affect the victory or defeat of a naval battle. In this respect, neither Hedram nor Gerhardt is comparable to the Iron Lilie.

"Admiral, there's a ship on the sea!" While the two were chatting, the shouts of lookouts came from above their heads.

"Oh?" Xu Mo took a few steps to the bow of the boat, raised the monocular in his hand, and looked at the sea. However, it was only a moment before he frowned, and he didn't see any boats.

"It's 11 o'clock, Your Excellency!" The lookout, who had already come down from the watchtower, stood beside Xu Mo and reminded him softly.

Xu Mo's heart moved, he took a deep look at this lookout, and raised the monocular again. After a moment, he finally saw a faint black shadow in the mist that was slowly starting to thin out.

"Tie Lilie, ring the alarm bell and enter the third level of alert!" Xu Mo's face was grim, and he quickly ordered, then turned his head, looked at the lookout and smiled, "Sailor, what is your name?" ”

"Please call me Wood, Admiral!" A flash of joy flashed in the eyes of the tall lookout, and he hurriedly replied.

"Wood, you're very observant!" Xu Mo smiled and patted the lookout's shoulder, "Are you up there, do you see the flag of that ship clearly?" ”

"This ......," Wood's expression hesitated.

"Hehe, it's okay! It's normal to be so far away that you can't see clearly! A hint of disappointment appeared on Xu Mo's face, "It's a pity, it's still a little foggy, if you get closer, it will be too dangerous if it's an enemy ship." It seems that it is better to avoid it! ”

"Admiral, that ship seems to be a British warship." Wood's eyes twinkled.

"Oh? Can you be sure? Xu Mo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked again.

"I just glanced at it...... I'm sure! Wood gritted his teeth and nodded affirmatively.

"Tie Lilie, how long will it take for the fog to dissipate completely?" Xu Mo's face became serious, and he asked his first mate.

"About half an hour!" Tierell frowned and glanced at Wood, and said in a deep voice, "I see the shadow of that ship, and the enemy ship is probably at least five thousand yards away from us. Admiral, do you want to enter the first level of combat readiness? ”

"Five thousand yards? Is it still half an hour? Xu Mo rubbed his head and sighed, "Forget it, in this kind of weather, the accuracy of the shelling is not high, and they are heading north, we still need to complete the Mediterranean cruise, we can't track them." ”

"Don't you hit them?" A hint of disappointment flashed in Wood's eyes.

"Hehe, cheer up, even if we don't beat them, you still have merit!" Xu Mo turned his head to Wood and smiled, "Wood, your eyes are very good, I have appointed you as the alternate officer of the Vasa lookout post, and you will be as vigilant as you are today in the future!" ”

"Yes, Admiral!" Wood replied with a red face.

"You keep an eye on this Wood to see if there are any reincarnators around him. If necessary, Max can reach out to them! Looking at Wood's distant back, Xu Mo sneered and ordered in the team channel.

"Tsk, Admiral, I didn't expect you to finish talking last night, and a reincarnation person jumped out in the morning. On such a foggy day, I can actually see a flag five thousand yards away, and this reincarnation's detection talent is much stronger than mine! Dinah said self-deprecatingly.

"BOSS, are we really not going to fight this battle?" Max said a little eagerly.

"Don't risk ......" Xu Mo was just halfway through speaking, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and he instantly looked up at the English battleship in the mist, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Hehe, I changed my mind, this battle really has to be fought!" ”
