Chapter 955: Inventory of Losses
Ronald certainly couldn't turn down an invitation at such a time.
What's more, this is still an invitation from an old friend.
So the investigator led the way, and the three Ronald quickly crossed the sea and flew directly from the air to the location of the steamship in the middle.
In the process of flying in the air.
The differences in what happened to each of the three steamships are also clearly visible.
The ship at the end of the line, due to Ronald's initiative to deal with the enemy, and the fact that the Church Caster protected the hull very well, the structure of the ship itself did not suffer any damage, and it was exactly the same as it was sailing before the attack.
The ships in the center of the line are home to Glade's most elite spellcasters.
These elite personnel sit here, and they also kill the attacking creatures at great speed. So with the exception of a few injuries and some damage to the hull that did not seriously affect travel, the ship and its passengers were mostly in good condition.
Only the ships at the front of the convoy were more damaged.
Not only did the battle end at the latest, but even during the battle with the sea monster, two spellcasters were unfortunately killed and disappeared directly into the sea.
In addition to this, the boat they were on was also deformed in the bottom position. Although the steamship itself has a structure to prevent water leakage in the hull, if this damage is maintained and not repaired, it will certainly not be able to complete the voyage as planned.
“……”
Ronald took this scene to heart.
Then he landed on the central deck of the ship, and immediately saw a familiar maiden leading people busy on the deck.
- It's Claudia.
Her Royal Highness the princess is currently basically locked in as the next ruler of Grede. Therefore, Queen Dainvery began to entrust Claudia with many important tasks to cultivate her ability to deal with various problems.
It is precisely for this reason that Claudia is the de facto supreme commander of the expedition. It was only out of aristocratic habit that Her Majesty also sent an old nobleman to assist Claudia in her work.
This is the strategist who Patricia told Ronald before.
At the same time, Claudia quickly approached Ronald when she spotted him on board.
"Ronald, I just saw you take action against that monster."
"My men have told me that you have barely been affected there, but I would like to hear if there is anything to be paid attention to in the details of the ship's situation from your perspective."
There were still about ten meters between the two sides, and Claudia took the initiative to wave and say hello.
As soon as the encounter ended, Her Royal Highness led her trusted henchmen to inspect the situation at various locations on the steamship and confirm the actual damage.
As for the powerful spellcasters on other ships like Ronald, Claudia also ordered her subordinates to summon them in order to understand the situation from more aspects.
In this case, Ronald naturally told the truth:
"I can handle this kind of sea monster alone, and the casters of the church on the ship are especially good at protecting themselves, so we don't have any problems there."
Ronald briefly recounted the situation.
At this moment, the spokesperson on the first ship from the other direction also came over.
Claudia nodded slightly at Ronald, and then immediately turned to ask the other party about the situation:
"Mr. Soult, what about your situation?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess took the initiative to ask a question, and the caster naturally reported the situation:
"The ship was badly damaged and there were casualties."
"However, according to the planning of the voyage, there is absolutely no problem in holding on to the shore until tomorrow."
“……”
"Such a serious ......"
Claudia thought about this answer, which was completely different from Ronald's, and immediately made a decision, ordering the investigators around her:
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the area I have just divided, you will immediately carry out the most serious inspection, and be sure to ensure the normal operation of the ship itself and the physical safety of all passengers!"
After these words, Claudia turned her eyes to Soul, who came from the first ship:
"Mr. Soult, let's go to the first ship at once."
"We can still carry out repairs on the ship this time, but we may not have such an opportunity next time."
While repeating the importance of protecting the hull of the ship to the caster in front of him.
Claudia also took advantage of this time to wave to Ronald, signaling him to follow her as well.
All of them have the ability to fly.
Without the help of others, they took off directly from the central steamship and soon arrived on the deck of the first steamer.
As a result, as Sirte stated, the situation on the ship was indeed worse, and hurried figures could be seen everywhere dealing with the problems that arose on the ship.
It's just because he has just completed such a deed as defeating a giant sea monster.
The expressions on the faces of the casters here were not too frustrated, but rather a sense of excitement about victory.
The detailed investigation continues.
Under the personal leadership of Soul, Claudia and Ronald surveyed several locations on the ship that had been badly damaged. After making sure that the damage would not affect the voyage for the rest of the day, as the other party had said, Claudia was relieved by the attack.
While turning back in the direction of the returning ship.
On the way, Claudia thought of the next uncertain voyage and couldn't help but ask Ronald a question:
"Ronald, if there are similar attacks in the future, can you spare time to help the other ships survive the crisis?"
“……”
This is a very standard tentative statement.
Claudia is making sure that Ronald is willing to help the team more, and at the same time determining the extent to which Ronald obeys Claudia's orders.
Faced with such a temptation, Ronald's mind turned sharply.
Immediately, the results that could result from the various answers were analyzed.
Whether this question is told truthfully or lyed perfunctory, there is a probability that it will cause trouble for yourself.
Only in one ingenious way to change the subject!
"Rather than asking me for help, Claudia, I think we should solve this problem at the root."
Ronald responded, and Claudia was really interested:
"Solve the problem at the root - Ronald, what are your good ideas?"
Ronald was very direct about his thoughts:
"The three big fish that attacked the fleet this time also showed signs of magic fluctuations, and I think it is very likely that the fleet's overzealous fishing led to this attack."
“……”
Ronald's hint got Claudia thinking.
Her Royal Highness lowered her head and pondered for a few seconds, and when she looked up again, her expression was completely different from before:
"Ronald, I think you have a point."
"I'll let you know the news when I get back, and until the specific situation is determined, the fishing plan for this new creature should be slowed down."
