Chapter 216: Fierce Battle at Sea

With the command of the divine envoy, there is also Iwabe and Nozomi to make peace with him.

The crew members also obediently put down their weapons.

Subsequently, Qin Fan began to number the ships.

"From the ship I am on, my ship is the whaling ship No. 1, and the other ships are numbered No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 in order of distance from this ship......

According to Qin Fan's number, the whaling ship where Yanban and Xi are located is No. 2.

There are also No. 3 and No. 4...... No. 8 and other six ships.

Together with the whaling ship that was being searched and rescued, and the whaling ship that was crashed, there were ten in total.

Now one has been attacked by whales and has become fragments of wood scattered across the sea.

The other is searching for and rescuing the crew.

Eight more ships remained to take part in the battle.

With the completion of the numbering, Qin Fan asked the captains of each ship to confirm their numbers again, and the instructions were issued smoothly after a while.

It seems to be calm, but in fact, under the drag of the whale, all the crew members are in a state of high tension, for fear of being suddenly hit by the whale.

In addition, there is no attack and harassment of whales, and the swimming speed of whales underwater has also increased to a certain extent.

While paying attention to the whale's every move, Qin Fan continued to order, "Now, all ships will report to me the number of remaining weapons in turn according to their numbers."

As soon as Qin Fan's words fell, Huaisuke beside him reported loudly:

"Divine Envoy, there are eight spears left on the No. 1 whaling ship! A few harpoons."

Hearing this, Qin Fan nodded and said:

"Harpoons don't need to be reported, and there is no way for harpoons to do any harm in the face of such a huge thing."

Harpoons are also very sharp, but throwing harpoons can do far less damage than spears thrown with a crossbow.

But even spear guns do just that, let alone harpoons.

So, the damage done by the harpoon is completely negligible.

And Qin Fan also selectively ignored this weapon.

At the same time, Kazuki Iwabe opened his mouth and reported loudly, "Your Excellency, there are four spears left in the second whaling ship."

Other whaling vessels followed:

"Whaling Ship No. 3, three spears remaining."

"Whaling ship four, two spears remaining."

When Qin Fan heard this, he also frowned a little.

Fortunately, he had prevented them from continuing the attack.

Otherwise, if the weapons are exhausted, there is really no chance of turning the tables.

And these guys will also be left in this sea area to feed the fish!

As for why there were far fewer spears and guns left on the other ships than the No. 1 ship that Qin Fan was on.

This is also very understandable.

Because this ship was ordered by Kazuki Iwabe to save people before.

There was no participation in the battle for some time, and as a result, there were a few more weapons left than the other ships.

Knowing the status of the weapons on each ship, Qin Fan began to plan.

At the same time, one order after another was given.

"Whaling boat seven, you quit the hunt and go to exchange positions with the search and rescue whaling boat, and you will rescue it, and the one that will take over is the new seven."

After listening to Qin Fan's order, the captain of the No. 7 ship also immediately ordered to withdraw from the team and began to sail towards the search and rescue ship for a job rotation.

The reason is simple, because the spear guns on ship No. 7 have already been fired.

In the next hunt, there was no longer any threat to the whales.

If you stay here, you have to worry about being hit by whales.

Rather than do this, it is better to rotate and let another ship with a certain spear gun take his place.

However, just then, the whale stopped moving forward and crashed into the Seven, which was about to retreat.

"Ship Seven, one hundred and eighty degrees on the left side! whole

Hurry on!"

Qin Fan hurriedly issued an order.

The No. 7 ship, which received the order, began to turn around to the left and accelerate.

At the same time, Keisuke on the side asked nervously, "Divine Envoy, should we launch an attack to cover?"

Qin Fan waved his hand at him, and at the same time commanded loudly, "The fifth and eighth ships are looking for an opportunity to attack!" Aim for the whale's eyes and blowholes!"

"Ship Three, attack the belly of the whale!"

"The rest of the ships are starting to encircle the whale's wings!"

Qin Fan's command is targeted!

The ship he was on was far away from the whales, so even if he attacked, he probably wouldn't be able to do much damage.

In addition, the weapons of the ships are very limited, so the remaining spears and guns cannot be wasted rashly at this time.

And the ships eight and five, on the level of the seventh, were facing the whale's dash.

So, they have a chance to attack the whale in the front.

If it is pierced in the eye or the fragile water hole, it will cause a lot of damage and blow to the whale.

At the same time, worried that they would miss, Qin Fan arranged for the No. 3 ship located on the side to attack.

In this way, even if the damage of the first two is not deflected.

An attack by Whaling Ship III can also have a blocking effect.

Even if it can't do much damage, it can slow down the whale's sprint, giving Ship Seven a chance to evacuate calmly.

After Qin Fan gave the order, the group of ships began to move according to his instructions.

It's just that the effect of the attack is not ideal.

Instead of piercing the whale's eye or breathing hole, Five stabbed a piece of skin on the top of its head. The damage done is also minimal.

No. 8 was even more outrageous, plunged directly into the water, empty.

Fortunately, the No. 3 ship located on the side successfully hit the whale's abdomen, blocking its advance, which allowed No. 7 to narrowly avoid the attack!

After missing the blow, the whale turned its head again and swam off into the distance.

Vessel Seven took the opportunity to swap places with the search and rescue vessels, taking over the duties of the search and rescue of the surviving sailors.

And the new No. 7 ship joined the hunting team under the command of Qin Fan.

After that, Qin Fan arranged the ships in different positions according to the number of remaining weapons.

For example, the No. 1 ship and the No. 7 ship that he was on were arranged at the front.

These two ships are the ones with the most weapons left.

Eight spears remained on the first ship.

And the seventh ship has even more left, a full ten.

In this way, in the face of whale attacks, they are also the existence that can launch the most powerful counterattack.

But equally, confronting a whale means that the risk is maximized.

Because, once the whale launches the next charge.

And if your own attack misses, and the cover on the side is not in place.

That would mean that the ship would be hit at full speed by the whales.

At that time, it is impossible to say whether the ship will be torn apart as the first whaling ship did, or how it will be.
