Chapter 384: More Terrifying Than a Storm
Captain’s room of the First Fleet of the Pande Empire.
This time, the empire sent a total of five fleets, but of course, this is the theoretical number.
In reality, for some strange reason, only thirty thousand arrived.
Of course, the soldiers still received their pay based on fifty thousand.
There are three fleets in total, each led by an eighth-tier knight.
These three eighth-tier knights are not simple; they are all descendants of the Knights of the Round Table.
For example, sitting in the captain’s cabin, this one with eyes closed, is a descendant of the ‘Red Sword’ Aiden: Rudy Aiden.
All three captains come from families famous for naval battles and have a deep understanding of maritime warfare. They even won a small-scale naval battle recently.
The leader of the navy expedition is Norman Eichler, the brother of the current Knight King Emmanuel Eichler of the Pande Empire, and he is also an eighth-tier knight.
Actually, fighting the Pande Empire head-on is quite easy when it comes to gathering information; their Professionals are either knights or wizards, and they don’t even have warriors.
"Captain, the detection magic array just showed unusual fluctuations."
Just as Rudy Aiden was lost in thought, a voice interrupted him.
Rudy quietly opened his eyes, "What unusual fluctuations?"
"Under the sea, it seems like there’s something…" The crew member hesitated for a moment.
"No signs?" Rudy raised an eyebrow.
"It flashed by." The crew member shook his head, "It doesn’t seem to be a submarine or a sea monster…"
"This area of the ocean is safe; there are no sea monsters here. As for submarines, how deep can their submarines go? Even if they dive very deep, as long as they want to attack us, they will be torn apart by our harpoons," Rudy said with disdain, "Those heavy iron ships are far slower than our fast boats."
"This battle will let the savages of Presea know that on the sea, speed is everything!"
"But the magic circle did respond a little," the crew member continued.
"Ha! It could just be a normal magical fluctuation, or maybe a sea monster accidentally brushed against it. If there were really enemies, the magic circle would definitely detect them. Are you questioning Master Kasim’s magic circle?" Rudy’s face turned cold.
"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare…" The crew member quickly shook his head.
"Hmph!" Rudy, with his sword at his side, walked to the captain’s office door, looking at the dark clouds that had covered the stars and moon.
On the sea, the weather is always unpredictable.
It looks like a heavy rainstorm is unavoidable.
In the storm, those metal ships are not as stable as the protected warships.
What armored ships? In the Pande Empire, our heavy cavalry can easily tear apart the enemy’s cannon formations, the knight formations can easily destroy those so-called tanks, and our sailing ships can easily tear apart their armored ships!
……
On the deck, Navy A looked at the calm sea.
I don’t know why, but the sea that I often see suddenly feels unfathomable today.
Beneath the surging surface, there seems to be some great terror hidden.
A lightning bolt split the sky…
Thunder rumbled!
A deep roar followed quickly.
Crackle, crackle…
The sky was filled with flashes of lightning.
Before long, heavy rain poured down.
Fortunately, these ships were protected by a magic circle, so the rain couldn’t touch them.
The sea began to grow restless, but the ships didn’t sway too much.
It was the winds that couldn’t be avoided; the sailors were blown all over the place, but many of them were veterans, who quickly steadied themselves and taught the new sailors what to do.
"Do you think everything will really be okay?" Navy A said, feeling a bit unsure.
"Are you scared just because of a little wind?" Navy C said with an exaggerated expression.
"It’s not about the storm; I always feel like there is something down in the sea…" Navy A didn’t dare to get closer to the edge of the ship.
"What could it be? Could it be an iceberg?" Navy C joked, "Our ship is protected by magic! Even if we hit an iceberg, we can push it away. Only those useless metal ships without magical protection would break easily."
"I have a bad feeling too," Navy B said carefully. "I’m not a knight; I believe in the Sea God. I always feel like I want to run away."
Bang!
Navy C kicked Navy B, "Shut up! Do you want to be hanged? Cowards deserve the worst punishment! Besides, this is the ocean; where would you run?"
Bang!
Just then, it felt like a giant appeared underneath the ship and gave the hull a punch, making it shake violently.
The three sailors stumbled towards the edge and grabbed hold of the ship.
"What is that?" The navy officer B also had a look of shock on his face.
Splash!
At that moment, a black ship suddenly burst from the sea, emerging faster than a submarine could surface, with no warning at all!
As it broke through the water, everyone’s gaze was fixed on it, as if it was the main character of this world.
The ship was an antique two-masted vessel, with a sleek body and flying a pirate flag featuring a skull and crossed swords, mysterious and imposing, with a hint of terror that made it intimidating.
As this ship emerged from the sea, cannons aimed at the nearby ships.
"What is that?"
"Why is there a ship?"
"Quick, get away, get away!" Both captains, who were sixth-tier Professionals, immediately gave the order.
But the soldiers were already swayed by the sea wind, so how could they follow the orders perfectly?
Both captains were well-trained and quickly took control of the ship’s wheel.
Unfortunately, it was still too slow.
In front of this fastest ship at sea, no other ship could keep up.
"Fire!"
A loud female voice shattered the darkness.
Boom, boom, boom…
Magic cannonballs shot out from both sides of the ship, hitting the two ships on the left and right.
Bang, bang, bang…
A Magic Cannon shell smashed through the protective barrier, landing on ship after ship, and the soldiers hit by the explosion were either dead or injured.
Even just a tiny touch could send you away from this world forever.
"Run!"
"Jump into the sea!"
"Fight back, quick, fight back!"
The navy was in chaos.
If they couldn’t even avoid the attacks, how could they fight back effectively?
Bang!
The blue ghostly fire burned on the sides of the ships.
"Help, help!"
One by one, the navy sailors, set ablaze with blue fire, jumped into the sea, but even the coldest ocean water could not extinguish the flames on their bodies.
After being consumed by the fire, they turned into skeletons…
There, the female captain of the black pirate ship steered with one hand while pressing her captain’s hat with the other, shouting, "Rogues, today we are going to rob… a decaying empire!"
