Chapter 27 Small Species: Impact Conch

Open the silver flip cover, and in the middle of the complex mechanical dial, a green gemstone pointer Rotate in a constant click, then slowly stop at three o’clock.

“Level 1 combat readiness, three o’clock, artillery ready!” Geer’s order resounded throughout the ship.

Alwin didn’t know what was going on, but he didn’t dare to open his mouth at this time. In wartime, there are no uncles and nephews, only superiors and subordinates. If Geer did not punish him, Alwin would not forgive himself if he missed the opportunity.

Alwin doesn’t know, but that doesn’t mean the other officers don’t either.

“It turned out to be a sea monster! How can a sea monster be willing to run over in a place like the offshore?” Said the sailor strangely.

“The sea monster pointers are too inaccurate. We can only confirm their existence based on the unique sound waves of the sea monsters. It is impossible to tell what level it is.” the course of the number, complained.

“In a place like the offshore, it’s a great luck to meet a small sea monster with a body size of about 30 meters. How could there be a large species? Not to mention the rare ones in the deep sea. It’s a giant species.

And thanks to the fact that we were once a member of the Level 4 battleship, otherwise, even this kind of precision sea monster pointer will not be issued, let’s be content!” The first officer saw it most openly. , he who is in charge of the logistics of the ship naturally knows how rare a sea monster pointer is.

The chief mate, the navigator, and the helmsman also stood beside Captain Geer. They all saw the hint of the strange machine in Geer’s hand and discussed with each other.

The officers had obviously experienced a lot of wind and waves, so they were not nervous. They were just curious about how sea monsters living in the deep sea could come out on the offshore waterway.

Alwin listened to the side with novelty, this kind of sea monster rumors still remained in the category of stories for him, even in the training of recruits.

In fact, what he didn’t understand was that all kinds of Mystic Knowledge involving the secret world were taboo knowledge that was jointly restricted by various secular countries and churches.

Because Mystic Knowledge often involves strength, just like the Knight training method, without the corresponding basic knowledge and the guidance of a leader, the consequences of wanton exploration of the unknown are often disastrous.

The danger of the Knight training method is not too big, and the most serious consequence is that when Knight is advanced, he will completely lose his mind and be controlled by the violent body, turning into a wild beast.

While harming yourself, you can’t harm too many others.

And among the other indistinguishable oddities of Mystic Knowledge, it is not uncommon to hide the peeping of the terrifying Evil God. It is conceivable that once this power is out of control, it will cause irresistible terror to come, and it is not impossible to drag an entire city to bury.

The family inheritance has been broken down, so that Alwin did not get much Mystic Knowledge hidden in the deep world except for the most core Knight inheritance, and Leo Steward would not teach him these temporarily useless things at that time. knowledge.

That’s not what recruits should be exposed to in naval training camp either. When they really need to face this level of mystery, most of them are already at least the crew of Level 4 battleships or even officers, and have a lot of time to get from senior.

Therefore, since crossing into this world, Alwin has not seen much sailing technology and technology beyond the contemporaries of the previous generation, except for the real and extraordinary power of the Knight.

Until now, he has a little feeling of being in a fantastic foreign world.

Then his first thought was:

“Wow! The first battle of recruits going to sea is to fight sea monsters, I’m so good!”

“Come on!”

Ignoring Geer, who was discussing behind him, immediately found the trace of the sea monster. After all, this big guy didn’t hide his consciousness at all.

With the sound of huge water splashes, a huge conch higher than the house broke through the mist of the sea and appeared in the field of vision of a group of people.

The cold and hard black shell with metallic luster, and the long deep blue tentacles dancing underwater constantly stirring the sea water, coupled with the huge size beyond common sense, it is simply shocking!

As soon as it appears.

The sea monster with the shape of a big conch spewed out endless seawater behind it, and it accelerated in an instant, like a battering ram that there is no stronghold one cannot overcome, with a battering ram that would smash the Silver Wing into pieces. Imposing manner ramming over at high speed.

Stunned, Alwin is only now imagining what happened to the merchant ship. You can also feel how desperate they were before being hit by a “battering ram” bigger than a house on the sea!

“Confirm that the type of sea monster belongs to the small species “Shock Conch”, and the starboard cannon of the cannon is focused! Fire!” Geer is worthy of being an experienced former battleship captain, quickly confirmed the type of sea monster, and commanded calmly Artillery attack. The powerful lung capacity of the Knight class made his orders sound like thunder, resounding throughout the battleship.

“Received! The distance is 0.5 nautical miles, the target is up ahead and hits the conch, and fire!” The gunner’s shout immediately sounded, and the crew of the artillery crew didn’t need to think, just follow the commander’s order.

Perhaps this sea monster has no experience in fighting human battleships, and the chosen attack angle is just up ahead on the side of the battleship, which can maximize the formidable power of the artillery on board.

“bang!””bang!””bang!”

In the continuous roar of artillery fire, the orange red flames cut through the sea. In the first round of twenty artillery salvos, most of the whistling solid shells fell into the sea water beside it, only three triflings fell on its conch shell, making a huge roar like a metal impact!

Alwin saw that the sea monster had small pieces of conch shell falling from its body, and its speed was also reduced.

The shelling works! Sea monsters are not impervious to sword and spear either!

Ger remained calm, not knowing how many similar scenes he had experienced. Although the sea monster is the real ruler of the deep sea, it refers to the “giant species” or even the “son of the sea god”. This small species can still be dealt with with the artillery on the battleship.

The shelling continues until the command is not retracted.

After another round of salvos, five shells hit the sea monster at the same time like a divine help, and even a piece of the thick shell on its body was damaged, hurting the body, the sea monster did not know. The mouth, which was hidden, let out a shrill, baby-like cry.

“嘤——!”

Even though the Silver Wing is less than 500 meters away, it seems that the next moment can smash it into pieces, but the sea monster is no longer there. Dare to rampage, after making a hateful cry again, it sank into the sea.

“Did it escape?” Alwin looked left and right, only he didn’t understand the behavior pattern of the sea monster, and could not judge the next behavior of the sea monster.

In nature, animals have a variety of habits. Some will choose to retreat to find other prey after being slightly frustrated, while others will seek revenge for the slightest grievance and can’t get rid of it again. Alwin also didn’t know which category the sea monster belonged to.

“The Gunnery Commander prepares alchemy bombs and is prepared to be underwater at any time!”

“Yes! Alchemy bombs are ready, the first ten groups, bombardiers are ready!”

After giving the new order, Goll turned back and explained to Alwin:

“The shock conch is a relatively common small species of sea monster, and the most common attack method is to stir the current on the sea surface. It accelerates and rams the ship, but it is also very cunning, and its absolute strength cannot be judged because of its size.

Most of the sea monsters in the Black Sea are relatives of Erketo, the mother of sea monsters. They attack human ships and destroy them.

It’s not for hunting, but from the hatred of terrestrial creatures in bloodline, that terrestrial creatures are betrayers of the sea!”

Here, Geer’s tone was very solemn:

“Encountering them in the ocean will, in most cases, end with one party down forever. Remember! As long as you don’t see its corpse, you can never take it lightly.”

The existence of sea monsters It also belongs to a relatively primary level of Mystic Knowledge, which can be spread among front-line combatants in a limited way.

But what Geer said just now is strictly speaking the core knowledge about the source of mysterious, some mystic can even obtain power through ceremony through the name of the divine being.

In other words, in the face of Alwin, if it was someone else, even if it was a young officer who valued it, Geer would not be free to popularize this level of extraordinary knowledge.

Even if Knight’s path transcenders can’t directly use this knowledge to gain power, the value is there, and in the eyes of wild transcenders lacking system inheritance it’s invaluable!

The officers around Goll glanced at each other. Based on their understanding of Geer, they seemed to have realized something in an instant, and the eyes looking towards Alwin became more and more kind.

“Click, click, click” The sound of the sea monster pointer became more and more rapid, and the green gem pointer turned endlessly, as if it was out of control.

“Order! Gunners drop bombs, directly below the target battleship!”

“Bombardiers, first batch, directly below the target, drop bombs!”

With the loud command of the gunner, the “pu tong” sound of heavy objects falling into the water was heard on the left and right sides of the ship at the same time.

“bang!””bang!””bang!”

There was a series of dull explosions underwater, and I didn’t know whether it hit the target or fell to the seabed. . In this era, there is a lack of underwater detection equipment, especially in the face of super-spec opponents such as sea monsters, which can only rely on the experience of the commander.

Although Geer has the confidence to defeat the small species, he is the opponent’s home field in the sea after all, and any misjudgment may bring himself into a huge crisis.

Glancing at the sea monster pointer that was still spinning around, Goll decisively gave the order:

“The sails are long raised! Let’s get out of this water.”

Since this sea monster wants to hide and seek, find a way to mobilize it and let it run away on its own.

“As ordered! Raise the sails, and speed up with full sails!”

“Hey xiu—hey xiu—” To the sound of the sailors’ horns, the sails on the three mainmasts were raised in order, and then filled with the sea breeze.

But then Alwin felt something was wrong!

Although the fog is not small and the wind is not strong, it also means that the waves are not high, and all the sails can be hoisted, which is often referred to as full sail. However, the speed of the battleship did not increase significantly, as if

it seemed to be tripped over by something!
