Chapter 165 Flying Fish

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

The purpose of each nautical chart is different, and the value is divided into high and low. For example, this one in Adrian’s hands is just an offshore nautical chart, and the scope of the labeling is extremely limited, including only the usual patrolling routes of the “Conch” and some offshore cities.

Nevertheless, it was treasured like a treasure by Adrian, the guy who used to eat as a navigator.

To tell the truth, from the nautical chart, the fishing town of Leopold and the station of the Third Fleet Gabred are not very far away. When Alwin set off from there to join the army, the total voyage on the “Yellow Hu” took only two days.

However, from joining the army until now, a year later, Alwin took the opportunity of overlapping missions to have time to return to his hometown.

Recalling all the things I have experienced this year, reuniting with Uncle, fighting sea monsters, killing pirates, surviving several times, and even facing Evil God face to face, which is more than many people’s life. The experience is even better!

Alwin was a little sighed for a while.

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

After all, this is Alwin’s first cruise mission. If you have any doubts, blunt and ask Yadri Well, this navigator, as a commander, pretending to understand is the most terrifying.

“Your Excellency, Captain, this has not always been the case. Depending on the season, wind direction, and adjustment of commercial routes, our cruising route will also change.

But most of the time it’s just going through the motions. , it’s not many times a year that pirates swim in this offshore area.

As long as we have a small pirate with only one broken fishing boat, it will take the initiative to escape, and those who really need to exchange fire and kill It’s very rare.”

“Okay, I know”

crackle crackle

But before Alwin’s words were finished, he was greeted by a continuous burst of chatter outside the captain’s room. Interrupted by a strange noise.

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

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

“It’s a school of flying fish! So many fish!”

Out of the captain’s room.

Alwin saw that the sea outside was already glittering with silver light, making it difficult to distinguish whether the sea was a tide or a fish tide. An innumerable number of flying fish jumped out of the water, gliding tens or even hundreds of meters on the water surface, before falling back into the water.

The flying fish are connected into pieces, and the “Conch” seems to be driving in a silver sea at this time.

There were even many flying fishes who couldn’t dodge in time, hit the ship directly or just happened to fall on the deck, and were picked up by the sailors for a bargain.

A flying fish that is at least the length of an adult’s palm has a carp-like body, a deep blue back, and its wide pelvic fins spread out like translucent wings. Vibrant even on the deck, the tail bounces vigorously to get back into the water.

Alwin squinted slightly, and in the sight of another heavy sea bird, the size of this wave of fish from the sky was indeed not small, at least stretching for several kilometers. Even attracted a lot of seabirds flying in the vicinity of the reconnaissance to ignore their reconnaissance duties, and also joined the ranks of predation.

It’s just that he has just been focusing on the nautical chart and has not been connected to the perspective of the seabirds. Perhaps Beth did not feel that this “feast” for seabirds needs to remind himself that when the flying fish is close at hand Just let yourself notice it.

“Your Excellency Captain! It’s unusual for flying fish to come out of the water on a large scale.” Seeing that Alwin was silent, Adrian, the navigator behind Alwin, couldn’t help but remind him.

“Level 3 combat readiness!”

Before he could continue, Alwin breathed out and gave the combat readiness order.

clang clang clang

The alarm bell on the ship was sounded, and all the crew members immediately alerted and ran back to their respective jobs, even if a flying fish fell to their feet, no one was there to pick up.

Alwin nodded with satisfaction. Although it is only a Level 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 himself shook the big cloak on his body and reflexively boarded the command position with the best view on the poop.

Flying fish out of the water means that there is likely to be some kind of predator underwater. Look at the size 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 handle it with caution.

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

Now that his identity has changed, as a battleship captain who shoulders the lives of more than 100 people on the ship, he must not lose his vigilance.

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

Underwater predators have appeared in the sight of the “Conch” following the fleeing flying fish.

“Is this a spearfish?”

The seabirds that live in the sea have sharp eyes to see through the sea, and through their vision, Alwin is more than everyone else. I discovered this group of hideous monsters earlier.

That is a big fish with an average body length of more than 12 meters, larger than the size of a ferocious killer whale!

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

Dark gray with a long trunk like a snake, a pointed head and a big mouth, the edges of the two gills extend back into four or five long spear-like thorns, and the fangs in the mouth are protruding. From the outside, you can tell that this is a very ferocious guy.

They are fierce and offensive by nature, and have a wide range of diets, from large whales down to small fish like flying fish. Even the “sea monster”, the ruler of the deep sea, was so hungry that it dared to go up and take a bite.

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

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

It is difficult to predict the behavior of the magical creatures when they hunt, and the “Conch” is lying on their way, so it is impossible for Alwin to judge whether there will be a conflict.

Be prepared.

“Level 2 combat readiness! Gunners, port guns ready! Grape rounds loaded!”

“Your Excellency!”

Ordered, located on the main deck The gunners on the left quickly filled the small bags with small projectiles into the muzzle.

Grape projectiles are one of many types of projectiles. After being fired, they will disperse to form a barrage, causing damage to enemies in a large area. Although the range is short, it is the best way to deal with this slender and agile Sea Beast.

Woooooooooo——

I don’t know it from the perspective of seabirds overlooking from the sky, but when I saw them with my own eyes, Alwin was also stunned by the momentum of these big fish. Shocked.

They dashed toward the water surface at high speed, their blade-like dorsal fins were raised high, and they cut through the sea and pulled out five snow-white waterlines. The distance is still far away, and the ear seems to have heard the extremely sharp cutting sound.

呲呲呲

Because of the arrival of several “overlords” in this Sea Territory, the sea creatures of several li large and small in the radius are either hiding or running away, but they are not the same as flying fish. Jumped out of the water 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 nothing, and make no secret of their contempt, and naturally they will not put a trifling ship in their eyes.

The direction of progress did not change at all, and under the leadership of the largest fish monster, it slammed into it.

Alwin is impossible to bet whether the hull of the “Conch” is harder or the head of the spear-stabbed fish is more iron, and decisively ordered to fire:

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

bang! bang! bang!

The ten ship-mounted artillery on the left side of the ship fired at the same time, the orange red flames illuminated the sea, and the densely packed grapes were bombarded A large black barrage instantly enveloped all the space on the sideboard.

whiz whiz whiz whiz

A few wild demonized creatures collided head-on, like primordial men with lance leather shields who had never seen modern firearms. .

Although it is weakened by the sea water, they are dashing against the sea surface after all. Grape bullets, driven by the huge kinetic energy of gunpowder, still fall on them after penetrating the sea water, piercing the scales and drilling into the flesh. .

gu lu gu lu

Extremely arrogant and seldom the ocean monsters who encountered this kind of encounter were hit head-on, and they swung their long tails and dived underwater to avoid them. Leaving behind surging foam and a hint of bright red.

“It worked!”

“Don’t be careless, pay attention to the water!”

After the knowledge baptism of “Shadow Library”, the current Alwin says After he got to Bo Wen Qiang Kee and really understood the characteristics of the spear-stab-toothed fish, he was also very troubled by this kind of creature with a similar character to his head.

And as the lowest Level 1 in the Level 6 battleship sequence, the weapon ration is not much higher than that of a transport ship, especially the alchemy bombs specially designed to deal with underwater targets don’t even think about it.

If these big guys hide underwater and keep sneak attacking, it will really make people scratch their heads.

Bang——

Bang——

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