Vol 14 Chapter 15: Sea Monster Strikes Back

do not know! The chief officer replied anxiously: no enemy warships were seen on the sea, and the shells did not fly from the city. "
"Can't see?" Jim thought for a moment and immediately understood: "Calculate the trajectory immediately, infer the possible target position, and then conduct a tentative attack with artillery fire. The Frost Rose Alliance ship has a mirage system, although it cannot be completely invisible But it is difficult to see at this distance. Let the watchman pay attention to the sea near the impact point, and the splashing water will make them visible. "
"Understood." The chief officer quickly conveyed the order, and the people on the battleship quickly executed it. However, after the shell trajectory was calculated, the sighters did not give the data to the gunner, but re-reported it to the first officer. The Chief Officer said to Jim with some uncertainty after reading: "Captain ..."
"What's wrong? Why not fire?"
"This ...!" The chief officer passed the ballistic calculation results to Jim.
Jim took the paper and looked at it, then suddenly looked up in surprise at the first officer. "Are you correct? Cannonballs come from 170 kilometers away?"
"It has been reviewed twice." The chief officer said helplessly: "Don't talk about the mirage system at this distance. Even an aircraft carrier parked there is invisible!"
"If we can't see, how do the enemies see?"
"Report, the enemy is now looking at the ship." The watchman cried abruptly.
There is no need to explain it. Jim said to himself, "Is the sight ship? They can make this thing!"
The second officer hesitated, "The sighting ship needs an instant communication system, a high magnification observation mirror, and a triangulation positioning system. Is this too exaggerated? Does Frost Rose League have so many security technologies?"
Jim calmed down a bit: "It's not a secret technology. I heard that the Frost Rose Alliance has a good relationship with the German Metro Crusaders. The large-scale sight lens technology of the Iron Crusaders has been perfected. Frost Rose Alliance can also buy Not surprising. As for the triangulation technology, it's just a pediatric thing. A slide rule and a three-pointer can do it. As for the instant communication technology, I heard that they already have it, as if crystal resonance A basic technology, I heard that it also incorporates magic array theory, which can not only transmit sound, but also images. "
The chief officer was distressed at once: "What shall we do? Our artillery can't reach this far. Besides, we can't aim even if we can reach it!"
Just when the US fleet was in distress, in the Sino-German special fleet of 170 kilometers away. King Chuang is sitting proudly on the command seat and watching the sailors busy making system corrections.
The correspondent shouted: "The leading reconnaissance ship reported that it hit the Liberty aft deck with minor damage. Feedback data: coordinates one plus three seconds, coordinates two plus seven seconds, coordinates three contracted by one point, coordinates four ..."
The second officer listened to the report and issued an expert command: "Each ship assigns targets as planned. Load high-explosive armor-piercing shells and volley one round."
"Yes. High-explosive armor-piercing rounds."
A large number of warships carrying the Frost Falcon and the Iron Crusaders began to turn. The large battleships of the entire fleet were unfolded horizontally, and the front and rear main guns turned towards the distant battleship group.
The second officer ordered again: "Pilot ship assists in revising the data."
"Fixed, feedback data. Report: Enemy targets begin to turn, all battleships add 6 seconds and a half seconds. Valid time is 7 seconds for the Seal of the Throne.
The second officer immediately ordered: "Bombard the shelling, grab the front."
The turrets of all battleships immediately turned to a slightly invisible angle, and the human eye could not see the angle for six seconds. After turning into place, the timekeeper was still counting down 321, and when the number zero was called out, all the main guns of the battleships roared at the same time. The huge caliber guns fired white cones of inverted cones. Terrible muzzle flames can often emit more than seven meters, and the shells weighing more than half a ton have been tens of kilometers away.
Jim still shouted as the battleship turned around. Suddenly a terrifying howling sounded in the air, and the first officer immediately pressed Jim under him. There was a loud noise, and the Liberty, the flagship, shook violently, and then a huge metal distortion sounded, as if it was a roar of a giant monster, it slowly slid down to the surface of the sea. Jim survived under the protection of the heroic first officer's weak body, but the poor first officer was smashed into a pile of rotten meat by glass shards and a piece of steel that had blown up. The poor Liberty is also completely dead. For the blasting armor-piercing shell that hits directly, the Liberty's armor is too thin!
Not only was the Liberty hit, almost one-fifth of the main ships in the fleet were named. The hit rate of the shells was more than 95%, and there was almost no miss. Almost none of the warships that have become targets can persist after the baptism of the shells. Except for the armored force group-class Seamaster heavy armored assault ship, all targets in this round of attack must not sink.
Jim teleported to the adjacent battleship before the ship completely sank. This is the benefit of magical naval battles. There are teleportation arrays on the battleship, at least the personnel transfer is faster. Jim, who boarded the standby command ship Kamandra, exclaimed with anger: "All the warships completed a half spin and then added impact. They pulled back to fight back at full strength. The fast destroyer, let me kill the sighting ship. . "
This is the only opportunity. Even the battleships in our guild cannot conduct such line-of-sight attacks without sighting ships. There is no radar in the magic age, and if you cannot see the enemy at this distance, you cannot attack. However, we have a leading reconnaissance ship. These specially modified little guys are actually high hydrofoil boats. They often run faster than torpedoes, and no warship can catch up with them. Each time our guild fleet conducts a line-of-sight attack, they need to conduct reconnaissance in the middle. This fleet calculates the relative position of itself and the leading ship. Then the leading ship calculates the relative position between itself and the enemy. In this way, we can infer the relative position of the enemy and ourselves through simple trigonometric calculations, and perform a line-of-sight attack. If this is not the case, the pilot can also directly report the impact point.
Main fleet correction data.
Of course, the American side can also think about the role of the pilot ship, but as mentioned earlier, it is impossible to build a pilot ship without the three technologies such as instant messaging. The semaphore transmission of coordinates is too slow, and the distance is too close. .
The command was obtained. The two fast destroyers in the U.S. fleet immediately separated from the team and rushed towards the leading ship. However, the leading ship was not a bulky battleship. The guy came out of the huge observation lens and dozens of crystal communicators inside the ship. It was a thorough reconnaissance ship. It had no intention to participate in the battle, and the only thing it had to do after encountering the enemy was to run.
It is based on the design idea of ​​the pilot ship running out of sight. The pilot ship of our guild is equipped with a class jet thruster, and its output power is one level of our main ship. This thruster occupies more than 90% of the cabin space of the leading ship, but the powerful output of this thing can provide a hydrofoil with a displacement less than three-thousandths of the main ship. It's three times faster. It is no exaggeration to say that it is flying on the water.
American fast destroyers just want to be faster for the battleships. They are not a level thing with our class pilots. The leading ship drew a large arc on the sea in a terrible degree, and then rushed towards the side of the destroyer. The artillery on the destroyer immediately turned, but the rotation of the turret could not keep up with the movement of the enemy. aim. The leading ship sprinted provocatively and rushed through between the two destroyers. Then rushed into the distance again in a big circle. The most recent shells of the destroyer and the main fleet landed just over a hundred meters behind the sea. For a ship of this class, it is necessary to calculate the advance amount before it can hit, but it likes to run s, there is no way to calculate the advance amount.
Failure to sink the leading ship means that we cannot stop our long-range shelling. The only thing Americans can do is to charge forward against the fire. but. As the distance approached, the number of shells began to increase. And the hit rate has also increased significantly. Originally the distance was long, only the main gun on the battleship was able to reach the range. Now after closing the distance, even the secondary battleships began to participate in the battle, and the firepower naturally became more dense. However, even so, the Americans stubbornly rushed into the vicinity of our fleet with gunfire.
Jim looked at only two-thirds of the fleet on the nearby sea, and he was so sullen that he didn't know where to go. Fortunately, we could already see our battleship in front, and he could finally order a fight back. "First mate, order to fire, focus on fire and hit me the biggest in the middle."
"Yes."
King Chuang is watching the American battleships rushing towards the team in front of him. Suddenly, more than thirty meters in front of the battleship suddenly burst into a water column with a height of 20 meters.
Is it far away? "Chuang Wang said with a smile.
Sitting next to King Chuang is Su Mei, she is holding a telescope and looking at the American battleship opposite. "Americans are technologically powerful nations in the real world. This at least shows that they are very creative and it is normal to improve the range of guns. But ... don't you plan to let the sea attack? Is it going to hit our strings? Our battleship is horizontal. American shells are more powerful than Japanese battleships. I'm not sure this armor can't stop it! "
"All right." Chuang Wang said to the first officer: "Signal to let the aquarium dispatch."
"understand."
As soon as the chief officer turned around, a large water column suddenly rose up less than two meters from the ship's outboard, and the whole ship shook. However, this is already the limit, and Americans have little chance to shoot at will.
Jim watched the explosion of the missed shot proudly, thinking that he should be able to land on the opponent's ship next time. However, his idea was interrupted before it was realized. Jim's newly changed flag seemed to hit something, and suddenly stopped. The huge inertia knocked him out of his seat. The people in the bridge also fell embarrassed. The second officer was the worst. Flip from the console to the opposite side. It looks like it's not a light fall.
Haven't waited for the people on the boat to recover. Jim suddenly raised a water column outside the left string. At first he thought it was an enemy's shell, but as the water dropped, a tentacle with a huge suction cup appeared in the water column. No one in the naval battle knows this thing. Except for the black devil octopus that can grow such a large sucker in the sea is the red spiny squid, no matter which one, it is not easy to deal with.
As soon as the crew had risen from the ground, the battleship suddenly trembled again. Then it shook violently, and many people who just got up fell again. Jim shouted, "Throw a deep-water bomb."
"Yes." The chief mate climbed up to the microphone and conveyed the order. Soon the crew of the ship rushed out of the cabin and threw the deep-water bomb off the ship's hemming. At such a close distance, a deep-water bomb would probably hurt his own ship, but it is better to be caught by a sea monster than to be spread by the entire bomb.
Deep-water bombs like petrol barrels rolled down the side of the ship, but before they exploded, Jim suddenly found them flying out of the sea. Several huge ground bombs flew directly into the air. Then a bang exploded in the air. With a bang, all the glass on the battleship control tower burst at the same time. There is no tempered glass in the game. After the glass on the ship exploded, the debris immediately flew, throwing several crewmen by the window to the ground.
Jim covered his bleeding ears, rose from the ground, and rushed to the microphone to order: "All are steady, and the nearby ships use side-string small-caliber weapons to help each other and blow up those tentacles."
U.S. fleet battleships are separated by more than a hundred meters. The smallest caliber artillery could accurately hit those tentacles entangled on the ship at this distance, but Jim forgot one thing. Whether it's an octopus or a squid, the tentacles are renewable for them. In addition to making them more brutal, attacking the tentacles is actually no good.
After blowing up a few tentacles, these unlucky guys really annoyed the sea monsters.
Jim saw the warship on his side sinking first. Then he suddenly jumped out of the water and was turned back in the air by a dozen tentacles. Then the tail of the battleship suddenly tilted up, then the whole bow plunged into the sea, and finally the whole ship quickly disappeared on the sea, leaving a huge vortex.
After the first ship was killed, a frigate on the side planned to rush out, but was suddenly listed on the water. Jim watched the middle section of the small frigate more than 1,000 tons squashed flatly by two thick tentacles, and then a dozen tentacles dragged the two ends of the ship and pushed up, the battleship immediately moved from the crushed middle Folded in half, then disappeared on the sea.
The frigate was blanked mainly because the armor was too thin, and it was impossible for large warships to be folded into iron like playing frigates. However, although the monsters cannot fold the large battleship, they can turn the battleship over and deform some parts of the battleship. Some monsters even know how to smash each other with two ships. The underwater thruster designed by humans is actually a very inefficient propulsion method. The poor motive force of the battleship can be ignored in the face of these sea monsters. No matter how to turn the rudder and how to increase the force, those warships can only be pushed and pushed arbitrarily. There is no way at all.
Jim watched in pain as his fleet was turned by the monsters, and suddenly shouted fiercely: "Summon underwater Warcraft and continue to fight."
In "Zero", some players often level at sea. Of course, there are many people who have special water pets, and most of them are in the fleet. Upon hearing the order, many players jumped into the sea immediately, and some Warcraft also followed the water.
This move was much better than the previous method. The monsters immediately released a battleship, but the surging water showed that they were not idle.
American player Kirby jumped into the water in a pose comparable to a diver. His profession is an aquarium warrior, with a high underwater combat effectiveness, and he is the captain of the Sixth Battleship. However, he was not very lucky today, and immediately after jumping into the water, he immediately appeared in front of him with a mushroom-shaped translucent umbrella cover and eight tentacles.
"Oh ! Lightning Overlord Jellyfish!" Kirby almost instinctively turned and ran away, but he only felt less than five meters before he suddenly felt a horrible current flowing through his body, making every hair in his body Standing up, I just don't know how to describe it. Fortunately, someone just stopped him. The two players who jumped after him fell between him and the jellyfish, and were turned into a pile of black matter and indulged into the sea floor.
Kirby is desperately moving forward without returning his head. Although this transparent Lightning Overlord jellyfish is only an eight hundred level monster, this guy is an underwater creature, and it is more than nine hundred level six creatures in the water. terrible. Kirby, who had been desperately swimming for some distance, stopped suddenly, not because he thought it was far enough, but because he saw something more scary. A giant octopus like an island was passing in front of him in a terrible degree. This is definitely not the black devil octopus that often attacks ships. The black devil that I usually see is not as big as this guy's tentacle! What scared him even more was that as soon as the terrible octopus passed, he was now facing a red lightning overlord jellyfish approaching him. The color of the Lightning Overlord jellyfish represents the level. Although red is not the most terrible type, the low-level transparent color of the hyphen is already very dangerous, and the red cannot be closer.
Swim out of the water almost at a world record, Kirby quickly found the battleship and climbed up. He dashed all the way to the bridge where Jim was, and shouted, "Captain. Let's withdraw!"
"Why?" Jim looked at Kirby's water and knew that this guy had just come up from the sea. "Is there something going on below?"
"The situation? The situation is big! The sea is full of Lightning Overlord jellyfish, and I can't go at all! And those tentacles, that's not the black devil octopus and the red spiny squid at all. I haven't seen that thing, but it must be some kind of octopus. , Five to six times the size of a black devil octopus. "
"What?" Jim asked in shock. "Did you see their tentacles?"
"I see."
"Are those tentacles with cell particles that are constantly flashing in various colors?"
Kirby thought for a moment: "I didn't pay much attention, but their tentacles did seem to be changing color."
"That's right. These are the giant octopus, the legendary ocean guard, who originally guarded the Seven Seas Temple. Some players previously took the relevant task, but were eventually killed by a giant octopus, probably these things."
Kirby said: "These monsters don't attack the enemies over there and they specifically attack us. It is clear that the sea people are helping them. We can't fight this way!"
"Do you think we're running away now?" Jim reluctantly asked ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Kirby was silent. The sea clan has an absolute advantage in the water. Although they may not be chasing the ships of the class of hydrofoil boats, the warships can never run over them. Since there are so many octopuses here, I definitely don't expect to run.
The two were sighing helplessly, and the chief officer suddenly shouted, "There is movement on the sea."
The two looked up at the sea, but only saw a few thousand dorsal fins standing on the sea. Jim called out immediately. "Oops. It's Ironback Swordfish!" This Ironback Swordfish is a slender aquatic World of Warcraft with three distinct characteristics. The first is that these guys swim extremely fast. Even if they are not the first, there are few things to catch up with them in the sea. The second is that these guys have scary dorsal fins and spines, which can easily cut the bottom of the warship, even the steel warships. The third major feature is the most annoying feature, that is, these guys are extremely brutal, even if they are not hungry, they will actively attack any nearby non-similar creatures.
Sure enough, the octopus and jellyfish in the water all ran out. The players on the American battleships thought that they had won, and they all surfaced to cheer and congratulate. As a result, a bunch of dorsal fins standing on the water suddenly appeared. Just silly.
