Chapter 298 Omens and Simplified Battle Lines
At this time, the weather at sea was getting more and more groggy or weird.
The wind is not too strong, but the waves are not small at all. If the field of vision is high enough, you can see that this situation is not limited to the coast of the Taro Kingdom, but spreads across the small half of the Black Sea.
Countless sea fish jumped out of the water and fell into the water, as if there was something to fear in the whole sea, repeating the process of jumping and falling in vain. Even some aquatic creatures jumped directly to the shore, even if they were dehydrated and died, they would not be willing to return to the sea.
On a ship driving in this sea, no matter how big your nerves are, you can already perceive that something bad is about to happen here!
“How is it, Anne? What did the creatures in the sea say?”
Seeing Anita who was using the “Language Knowledge Mask” open her eyes, Jasmine asked with concern road.
She had learned about the powers of this sea treasure from Anita and had tried it herself.
It can convert any specific roar, infrasound, ultrasound, body movements, pheromone and other biological communication methods within a radius of two kilometers into human language that it can understand.
Includes a variety of marine mammals, birds, fish, shrimp, jellyfish and even plankton!
After possessing it, it can be said that the eyes and ears have spread all over the sea, and can easily obtain precious information that others cannot obtain.
“They had just experienced a terrible tsunami a few hours ago, and a warship, along with countless monsters, hit a human-inhabited city with the tsunami.”
After taking off the golden mask, Anita frowned told Jasmine what she had heard. It was obvious that her party was not at the right time. Hudgens’ actions had already started, and it was in this way like a fantasy story.
“However, this catastrophe is nothing to most of the tiny creatures that live in the seabed, but another, deeper fear lingers!
Eli With the mouth of the Don River as the center, countless aquatic creatures are frantically trying to escape the sea, not a natural enemy, not a natural disaster, but a fear rooted in the depths of the bloodline.
Every wave in the Black Sea around you It seems that there are endless dangers hidden.
What did Huggins do this time?”
Anita felt that what happened here has far exceeded her original imagination. , more than the third rank Great Knight himself can control.
The two people in the conversation did not notice that not far from their “golden horn”, a huge beluga whale swam from the direction of the “Atrid Sea” and ran against it. The school of fish quickly swam to the direction of the mouth of the “Leiden River”.
Even in the face of unknown dangers, the “golden horn” continues to accelerate.
The other side.
Whatever bad happens after this Sea Territory, it doesn’t matter to Alwin and the crew of Cape Storm.
Because very bad things have happened to them, if you can’t pass this level, you don’t need to worry about what will happen in the future.
“Bertlem! You’re a bastard–!”
Alwin echoed off the sea with a breathless roar with the lung capacity of a veteran Knight.
“Hahaha, thank you for the compliment! To each other!”
On the “Imperial Family Guardian”, which is not far from the “Horn of the Storm”, Solomon repaid Alwin without showing weakness. Two large sea monsters with baring fangs and brandishing claws behind him, roaring one after another, have been chasing after him!
Ah–!
ka-cha -!
The crew members of the two ships were photographed by their respective captains. There is no officer who can’t think of it, and will write down the “cordial greetings” of the two captains in their logbooks
but they will be scolded.
Alwin also knew that Solomon had made the most favorable choice for the battle situation. Taking advantage of his speed, while mobilizing the enemy, he dragged the “Horn of the Storm” into the water and concentrated all his own strength to deal with the strong enemy!
Well, this time, Quan should have evened out the thing that pitted him last time.
As for the half-abandoned bastion and the “old, weak, sick and disabled” in it, it has obviously been ignored by the two captains intentionally or unintentionally.
“All combat readiness! Open the muzzles, turn on the ‘sea monster song’, and wait for them to come by themselves.”
“Cape Storm” has a total of two artillery decks and A total of 18 Sects of 24-pounders were installed on the main deck, twenty 12-pounders, ten 9-pounders, and two 6-pounders on the poop.
There are 281 crew members, 3 transcenders (one Berserker, one senior Knight and peak apprentice, and one prophet), and two marine treasures.
Even among all Level 4 ships in the Tulip Alliance, this lineup is second to none.
And today, the “Cape Storm”, which was officially listed in the naval sequence, finally ushered in the true naval battle of the First Stage since its service.
Alwin did not give the Pharetis Navy’s customary command to seize the upper hand in naval battles.
Because sea monsters are different from warships, they are far more flexible in the sea than their own battleships, and it doesn’t matter whether you are upwind or downwind when you really start a battle, simply meaningless.
Flickering——
A “Needle-tailed Swift” shot down from in the sky and flew towards the “Imperial Family Guardian” like a black arrow.
Since the battle is going to be fierce, and there is an internal dispute to be discussed later, Alwin immediately sent his messenger to Solo Sect.
Since there are instant messaging tools, why use semaphores, which are backward and have a high error rate?
“Bertlem, you mainly attack me as a support. If you have the ability, use it as soon as possible! By the way, how many alchemy bombs did you bring? Leave them all to me.”
After seeing the Water Element seal Cypes under the “Imperial Family Guardian”, Alwin knew that this guy’s cards were much thicker than he had known before, and he was unceremoniously arranged for the main attack role.
“No problem! How do we play, one-on-one or two-on-two?”
Bertram also knew the reason, and agreed without any hesitation. The main attack position is natural It is to do everything possible to kill the opponent, while the auxiliary only needs to share the firepower to contain the opponent, the difficulty level is obvious at a glance.
Although he claims to be afraid of trouble, the arrogance of this prestigious Young Master is still born in the bones.
“You take them around in a circle and let me do an air strike first!”
While communicating with Bertram, Alwin dispatched a team that had already flown back. Bomber formation back on standby.
In order to facilitate the command, Owl Bass also came to the deck early, folded his wings and stood beside Alwin, and called out to Alwin’s shadow twice in a demonstration.

At this time, there were 19 large seabirds under Alwin’s command, and there were 9 in reserve on his own ship earlier, “Imperial The “Family Guardian” has more than the normal base, there are ten boxes of 40 pieces.
Previously, in order to quickly support the Major General, the seabirds were not allowed to carry multiple alchemy bombs. This time, there was no concern. Each seabird carried two alchemy bombs, which were far below their load limit.
Soon.
The bomber formation lifted off with 38 alchemy bombs and flew towards the two sea monsters following the Imperial Family Guardian.
As the only battleship on the Taro Kingdom side, the “Imperial Family Guardian” is of course equipped with a “sea monster song”.
Thanks to this, although the two sea monsters were in hot pursuit, they had to surface during the long chase, which also made them far slower than normal.
Instead, it’s the large fur seal-like Water Element creatures that power the battleship, Cypes, which are immune to physical attacks and are not affected by infrasound waves.
xiu! xiu! xiu!
As soon as the bomber formation reached the designated position, they launched a mass air strike.
Boom—!
A large number of alchemy bombs exploded at the same time, setting off an astonishing shock wave of formidable power, and even created a large wave.
The wall of water spread out in circles, and even the two battleships that were still some distance away from the explosion site were violently turbulent.
However, the results this time were far less than the previous bombing of the “water cannon humpback whale”.
The low IQ of these fast-growing sea monsters does not mean that they are blind. The sight of “mantis shrimp” and “whale” being attacked by air one after another is seen by them. Bombers” turned a blind eye.
saw that the situation was far from good, and immediately endured the continuous damage of infrasound waves with no opportunity and dived to the bottom of the water.
When the two sea monsters could not withstand the infrasound attack of the seabed and resurfaced, the “Iron Seahorse” was almost unscathed by the hard bone carapace of the bony fish, and the defensive power was even worse. The “ghost shrimp” is just a broken carapace on the body surface, which is far from losing battle strength.
It’s just that the bombing apparently totally angered them.
Ah–!
Boom—!
“Iron Armored Seahorse” made a dull and short call from the contraction of the pharyngeal muscles, and the sturdy shrimp claw on the right side of the “Ghost Shrimp”, which was almost the same length as the body, quickly opened and closed to make a thunderous rumbling sound.
Then two large sea monsters with an average body length of 70 meters rushed towards the two battleships that had already completed their rendezvous by taking advantage of this opportunity.
Among them.
“Iron armored seahorse”, the appearance is the half body of the seahorse covered with black plate armor, but the lower body is composed of numerous sturdy tentacles that wriggle, driving the violent ocean currents like a reloaded Knight rampaging on the sea.
The nature of this creature makes it one of the last enemies a human battleship would want to encounter.
The large species “ghost shrimp” is an elusive deep-sea killer. Its whole body is made of crystal-like transparent material, and even its internal organs are transparent even before it eats.
As long as this kind of existence hides in the sea water, ordinary lookouts can’t find it at all.
And it has a pair of asymmetrical pincers.
“It doesn’t look like there is any one to deal with.”
Even if there is no record of these types of sea monsters in the official “Sea Monster Manual”, according to general rules, they look like Weirdness must have a unique ability.
Alwin and Solomon looked at each other across the sea, and instantly determined the next strategy.
“Iron armored hippocampus” has no other way except meet force with force of real thing, and the hard bones will be chewed at the end. Concentrate your firepower first to eliminate the assassin-type enemy “Ghost Shrimp”!
The two battleships have been listed in a line according to the wartime manual, that is, the “battle line” with minimal configuration. No matter how many battleships, this formation is the most conducive to the firepower of the battleship .
“Cypes! Go and entangle that ‘Iron Seahorse’!”
Solomon, as the main attacker, has already taken the lead.
gu lu gu lu
The twenty-meter-long Water Element fur seal made a cry like boiling water, and quickly escaped from the bottom of the “Imperial Family Guardian” and turned into a sea Undercurrent, lasing to the “iron armored seahorse” like the violent Knight.
The atmosphere is condensed.
The final confrontation between humans and sea monsters in the sea is about to start!
