Chapter 176 Sailing

They were traveling on wooden warships of the Water Spirit Clan, ten in total, more than enough to carry two hundred people. However, compared to the steel warships of the Fire Blaze Kingdom, they were as weak as underdeveloped infants, and a direct confrontation would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.

In the past, when Hakuda led his fleet to fight against the Fire Nation, he could only adopt guerrilla and boarding tactics, and there was no possibility of direct combat.

However, things are different now. After integrating their forces, Hakuda discovered that their team seemed to be exceptionally strong.

It would take them three days to reach their destination, Azulong Bay, from Chameleon Port. The ideal scenario would be to avoid encountering the Fire Nation fleet along the way and arrive safely.

But the more you expect things to go smoothly, the less likely they are to go smoothly.

After a day of smooth sailing, they were forced to encounter the warships of the Fire Nation on the second day.

"A Fire Nation fleet has appeared to our left front. It's not on our course, but we might see it if we keep going."

Kahn ended his meditation, opened his eyes, and reported to Hakuda.

Spirit Masters can astral projection, allowing their souls to ascend to higher altitudes and see further, enabling them to detect enemy forces earlier and faster, and take proactive measures. This is practically a divine skill on the high seas.

He and An Ang, as the only two spirit masters, took turns being responsible for observation during the voyage.

Hakuda pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then gave the order:

"Have the naval commanders raise a thick fog to advance covertly."

"yes!"

As the order was given, the twenty-two naval commanders, including Katara and An'ang, worked together, and a thick fog instantly rose from the sea surface, centered on the fleet. It then continued to spread outward, eventually forming a dense fog area stretching for several miles with visibility of less than 300 meters.

The ocean is the territory of the Naval Masters; this has been a consensus in the world for thousands of years, and it is a testament to the absolute power of the Naval Masters in the ocean.

Unfortunately, this consensus was rewritten a century ago by the Fire Nation, which turned the sea into its territory with hundreds of steel torrents.

Ten ordinary naval warriors can take down a steel warship, but the Fire Kingdom can send out hundreds of warships at once, while the Water Goodness Clan cannot gather thousands of naval warriors at once.

Moreover, even with thousands of naval commanders, they could not withstand two rounds of attacks from hundreds of steel warships.

However, the invention of torpedoes may change this situation.

With the cover of the dense fog, the fleet passed by the Fire Nation fleet unharmed.

But before they could relax for long, Kahn reported the appearance of another Fire Nation warship. This time they weren't so lucky; the enemy was right in their path.

Hakuda continued, issuing the following orders:

"Maintain the fog, prepare the torpedoes, and await my orders."

"yes!"

"An'ang, please seal off the airspace above us to prevent them from spreading the message."

"I see."

Anang nodded and flew into the air on Apa.

To prepare for this battle, Apa donned a suit of armor custom-made for it, looking quite imposing.

Once the opponent got close enough, Kahn's soul returned to his body, and he used his divine eye to observe the opponent's location.

"The enemy is approaching, three kilometers, one kilometer, seven hundred meters, five hundred meters."

"Three hundred meters!"

"Launch the torpedoes!"

The moment the outline of the steel warship appeared before everyone, ten torpedoes, controlled by the naval commanders, sped through the water and accurately hit the bottom of the warship, blasting ten craters in a series of explosions!

"A fleet of the Waterfowl has been spotted!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom—!"

"What's going on?!"

"Where did this attack come from?!"

"Our ship has been hit! We're sinking!"

Inside the command center of the steel warship, everyone was in chaos, with a constant stream of panicked and noisy voices, not knowing what methods the enemy had used to sink their ship.

In the midst of the chaos, the commander shouted urgently:

"Counterattack! Counterattack!"

"Quickly spread the news of the enemy!"

By this time, the ship had begun to list due to taking on water, and its last desperate slingshot attack was easily blocked by the well-prepared Earthworkers.

Before the ship sank, a carrier hawk flew out of the command room and sped towards the Fire Nation, trying to send back news of the enemy.

However, an invisible wall of wind blocked its path, causing it to crash into something unsettling as it flew at high speed, falling from the sky and landing in An Ang's arms.

"Sorry, but I can't let you reveal our presence."

An Ang removed the envelope tied to the hawk's leg, tore it up, threw it into the sea, and brought the hawk back to the fleet.

The complete sinking of the Fire Nation's warship and the interception of the carrier eagle marked their complete victory in this blitzkrieg!

"We won!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this and revealed victorious smiles.

"Haha, torpedoes are really great!"

Parry laughed heartily.

He was pleased with the victory, but he was even more pleased with the appearance of the torpedo, which gave him hope for the resurgence of the Waterfolk.

Not everyone can be like a master of water manipulation like Cooper and Katara, who can single-handedly create tsunamis and cut through steel. For most average water manipulators, it is difficult for them to break through the steel hull of the Fire Nation's warships and cause damage.

The advent of torpedoes effectively compensated for the lack of firepower of ordinary naval forces against steel warships, making it possible for them to regain their position as the dominant force at sea.

"Thank you all for your hard work. You all cooperated very well."

Hakuda encouraged the soldiers, while Soka ran to An'ang's side, looking curiously at the carrier falcon he had brought back:

"Is this the carrier eagle of the Fire Fierce Kingdom? It's so cool! I wish I had my own carrier eagle."

Zu Kou, standing nearby, reminded him:

"These carrier hawks are specially trained and only fly to specific places, so don't even think about messing with them."

"Of course I know!"

Soka replied somewhat guiltily, silently abandoning his idea of ​​asking for the carrier hawk.

Looks like we'll have to use it for grilling.

"No! That's too cruel! The carrier eagle is an important partner of the Firefly Kingdom!"

"It's not my partner. Besides, there's no use keeping it. We can't expect it to feed and water us, can we?"

Soka and Zuko started arguing. Anang casually handed the carrier eagle to Zuko, walked to the side and stared blankly, looking listless and uninterested.

Katara saw Anang's condition and was somewhat worried, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

An Ang is about to face Ao Zai, but he still hasn't figured out how to deal with him, so he has been agonizing over this issue for some time.

To be honest, she also felt that killing Ao Zai would be better, but she was also willing to respect and support An Ang's choice and to believe in An Ang.

"An Ang, it's time to relieve you!"

"Okay, coming!"

Hearing Kahn's call, Anang woke up with a start, took over Kahn's reconnaissance work, and let Kahn rest.

Katara's gaze naturally shifted to Kahn.

For some reason, she always felt that Kahn had been keeping something to himself that he hadn't told them during this time.

What is it?

The college entrance exam is over today, that's great!

Thinking back, I realized I didn't end up traveling during my vacation after the college entrance exam, and I still feel a little regretful.
