Transcendent Journey

However, nautical charts can be further subdivided: general nautical charts, ocean nautical charts, offshore nautical charts, coastal charts, bay charts, etc.

The purpose of each nautical chart is different, and the value is also divided into high and low. For example, this one in Adrian’s hand is just an offshore nautical chart, and the scope of the labeling is also extremely limited. It only includes the routes that the “Conch” usually patrols and a part of the offshore cities.

Nevertheless, it was cherished by Adrian like a treasure. It was a fellow who used to eat as a navigator.

To be honest, judging from the nautical chart, the fishing town of Leopold and Gabriel, the station of the Third Fleet, are not far away. When Ivan set out from there to join the army, the total voyage on the “Yellow Hu” took only two days.

But from the beginning of joining the army until now, a year later, Ivan took the opportunity of the overlap of tasks to have time to return to his old place.

Recalling all the experiences that have happened this year, I met Uncle Gehr again, fought sea monsters, killed pirates, survived several times, and even faced Evil God directly, more than many people’s lives. The experience is even more exciting!

For a while, Ivan was rather embarrassed.

“Is the usual cruise route of our’Conch’ like this?”

After all, this is Ivan’s first cruise mission. If you are unclear, please blunt and ask Adri Well, this captain, as a commander, he doesn’t know how to pretend to be the most terrifying.

“Your Captain, this is not always the case. According to the season, wind direction, and trade route adjustments, our cruise route will also change.

But most of the time it’s just a formality. , There are not many times in a year when pirates are swimming in this offshore area.

As long as we have small pirates who usually only have a broken fishing boat, they will take the initiative to flee, and they really need to fight with each other. There are very few cases.”

“Okay, I know…”

crackle ….crackle ….

But Ivan’s words Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a continuous strange noise outside the captain.

“What’s the matter?” The two people in the captain’s room turned their heads and looked towards the porthole at the same time.

At this time, the sailors on the deck were already shouting:

“It’s a school of flying fish! A lot of fish!”

Get out of the captain’s room.

Ivan saw that the sea outside was already shiny with silver light, which made people confused whether it was a wave or a wave of fish. There are so many flying fish that there are too many to jump up from the water, glide tens or even hundreds of meters on the surface, and then fall back into the water.

Flying fish are connected to form a piece, “Conch” at this time seems to be driving in a piece of silver sea.

There were even many flying fish that couldn’t dodge, hit the ship directly or fell on the deck, and were picked up by the sailors.

A flying fish that is at least as long as an adult’s palm has a carp-like body, a deep blue back, and wide ventral fins spread out like translucent wings. Even if it fell on the deck, it was full of vitality, and the tail bounced vigorously to return to the water.

Ivan squinted slightly, and in the field of vision of another heavy seabird, the scale of this wave of fish looking down from the sky is indeed not small, at least it stretches for several kilometers. Even the seabirds who flew in the vicinity for investigation did not pay attention to their investigation duties, and they also joined the ranks of predation.

It’s just that I have just been focusing on the nautical chart without access to the perspective of the seabirds. Perhaps Beth did not feel that this “feast” for seabirds has to remind himself that when the flying fish is close at hand I just let myself notice it.

“Your Captain! Flying fish out of the water on a large scale is unusual.” Seeing Ivan’s silence, Adrian, the navigator behind Ivan, couldn’t help but reminded him.

“Level 3 combat readiness!”

Before he continues to speak, Ivan has exhaled and issued a combat readiness order.

Clang clang…

The alarm bell on the ship was sounded, and all crew members immediately ran back to their jobs with vigilance, even if a flying fish fell to their feet No one picked it up.

Ivan was nodded with satisfaction. Although it is only a Tier 6 ship, after all, it has been drifting on the sea for a long time and is always facing various dangers. The military quality of the crew is still guaranteed.

He shook the cloak on his body, and reversibly boarded the command position with the best view of the poop.

Flying fish out of the water means that there is likely to be some kind of predator underwater, depending on the scale and fierce response of this group of flying fish. There is either a big guy or a large group of hunters under the water. In either case, you need your own “Conch” to treat it with caution.

After all, last time the “Silver Wing” was even attacked by sea monsters on the offshore route. Obviously, it is not only in dangerous seas that it will encounter danger.

Now that his identity has changed, as the captain of the battleship, who is responsible for the lives of more than a hundred people on the ship, he must not lose his vigilance.

It feels like a long time to finish all of this, but only half a minute has passed.

Underwater predators have appeared in the sight of the “Conch” following the school of flying fish that fled.

“Is this… the spearfish?”

The seabirds who originally live in the sea have sharp eyes to see through the sea. With their vision, Ivan Everyone discovered this group of hideous-looking monsters earlier.

That is a big fish with an average body length of more than twelve meters, bigger than the fierce killer whale!

The spearfish, also called spearfish, is a magical creature unique to the Black Sea.

Dark gray with a long torso like a snake, a pointed head and a big mouth. The edges of the two gills extend back and turn into four or five long spear-like spikes. The fangs in the mouth scream. From the outside, he knew that this was a very vicious guy.

They are extremely offensive by nature and have a wide range of diets, ranging from large whales to small fishes such as flying fish. Even the “sea monster”, the ruler of the deep sea, dared to go up and take a bite when he was so hungry.

If Ivan were to use a more familiar animal to describe it, it would probably be the honey badger.

And like wolves, they like to hunt in groups in groups. The group that appeared in Ivan’s field of vision consisted of three, two, and five spearfish.

The law of action of the enchanted creatures when hunting is really difficult to predict, and the “Conch” is on their way, and Ivan can’t judge whether there will be a conflict.

Be prepared.

“Level 2 combat readiness! The gunner, the port side artillery is ready! Load the grape shells!”

“Your Excellency!”

Order issued, located on the main deck The gunners on the left quickly filled the muzzle with packets of small pellets.

Grape shells are one of many types of shells. After being fired, they will spread out to form a barrage, causing damage to enemies in a large area. Although the range is very close, it is the best way to deal with this slender and flexible Sea Beast.

hua hua Wow——

I don’t feel it from the perspective of seabirds looking down from the sky, but when I saw them with my own eyes, Ivan was also stunned by the momentum of these big fishes. Shocked.

They rushed forward at high speed against the water surface, the blade-like dorsal fin was raised high, cutting through the sea surface and pulling out five white water lines. The distance is still far away, and I seem to have heard the extremely sharp cutting sound in my ears.

呲..呲..呲..

Because of the arrival of several “overlords” in this sea area, several li large and small marine creatures either hide or run away, It just never jumped out of the water like flying fish, and was not discovered by the sailors.

Because of the tyrannical strength and ferocious temperament of the demonized creatures, they treat all marine creatures as if nothing, and they do not conceal their gaze, and naturally they will not put the trifling ship in their eyes.

The direction of advancement did not change at all. Under the leadership of the biggest fish monster, he ran straight over.

Ivan impossible to bet the “Conch” has a harder hull or a spearfish with a stronger head, and decisively ordered the fire:

“The target is up ahead of the sea, the distance is 70 meters. ! Ready to… fire!”

bang! bang! bang! …

The ten ship-borne guns on the left side of the ship fired at the same time, and the orange-red flame illuminates the sea. The densely packed grape bombs turned into a large black barrage that instantly enveloped all the space on the side.

Swish..swish..swish..swish..

Several wild enchanted creatures are like primordial holding lance skin shields who have never seen modern firearms before Like people, they bumped head-on.

Although they are weakened by the seawater, they are advancing against the surface of the sea after all. The grape bombs penetrated the seawater under the propulsion of the huge kinetic energy of gunpowder, and fell on them, cutting through the scales and digging into the flesh. .

gu lu gu lu …

The sea monsters who are extremely arrogant and rarely encounter this kind of encounters were beaten head-on, shaking their long tails and diving into the water to avoid them, instantly, Only the surging foam and bright red are left in place.

“It worked!”

“Don’t be careless, watch out for the water!”

After the knowledge baptism of the “shadow library”, the current Ivan said After learning about the characteristics of the spearfish, he has a headache for this kind of creature with a similar personality and flathead.

And as the lowest Level 1 in the six-level battleship sequence, the weapon ration is not much higher than that of a transport ship, especially the alchemy bombs specially used to deal with underwater targets.

If these big guys hide underwater for a sneak attack, it will really make people scratch their heads.

Boom——

Boom——

Sure enough, being reckless does not mean stupid. Soon there were two low muffled noises under the water. The hull also shook twice.
