Chapter 82 Cooperation and Help

The so-called solution to the enemy is actually just a show of force. We don't know anyone in this medium-sized fleet, and cooperation is based on each getting what he needs. What we need is the other party's intelligence and geographical knowledge, and what the other party needs is our strength. Therefore, the stronger the strength we show, the more chips we have, which will help deepen our cooperation. Moreover, the other party should not be a chuunibyou, and would normally be more enthusiastic after seeing our strength.

If you need to show your strength, you don't necessarily need all the people to take action. It's better to leave a sense of mystery. Therefore, only two of us actually took action. One is True Red, and the other is Christina.

Christina has already exposed part of her strength before, so it doesn't matter if she takes action again. As for True Red... She is a melee type and doesn't have any fancy abilities, so it doesn't make much difference whether she is exposed or not. On the contrary, the abilities of me, gold coins, and roses are all special, so hiding them can be effective at critical moments.

"Christina, Zhenhong, I leave it to you." There are only a dozen enemy ships left on the sea that have not sunk, so the task is not too heavy. After a brief explanation, I turned to Captain Donovan over there and asked: "Captain Donovan, can those sea beasts be recalled? We will destroy those ships soon. If your sea beasts are on board, If so..."

"This is not a problem." Captain Donovan immediately ordered his subordinates, who quickly ran out and shouted a few words to the chess player, and then the chess player began to send flags to notify other warships. Soon, a sharp high-frequency whistle sound sounded from the surrounding battleships, similar to a dog whistle. However, because my race in the game includes the ancestry of the Demon Clan, I can also hear sounds of this frequency. .

As the whistle sounded here, a large number of sea beasts suddenly poured out of the windows on the enemy warships, and then they jumped into the water and swam back towards their own warships. Obviously, this thing had the same function as a beeper.

Now that the sea monster has withdrawn, the rest is easy.

Christina just stood on the deck and started casting spells. Not using her usual signature skills. Since it is a show of strength, it should be dazzling, even though a simple bursting fireball can severely damage a wooden warship. But that seems too simple. Christina directly cast a spell to summon a huge water dragon from the sea. Not that jet of water. It is a giant dragon whose whole body is made of sea water. The length of this dragon is similar to that of a real giant dragon, and it is considered a larger type of dragon. When floating on the sea, it is almost as long as two battleships connected end to end.

As soon as the water dragon appeared, it roared and started smashing the boat. Those warships that were only half its size were completely inadequate in front of this huge water dragon, and one of them was sunk in a few seconds. There is simply no way to fight back. The water dragon's body is made of condensed sea water. After being hit by a cannonball, there was no reaction at all. The projectile entered directly from one side of the water dragon's body and then passed out from the other side, although it looked like a hole was made. But as soon as the shell passed, the water healed itself and sealed the hole again. The water dragon, on the other hand, had no reaction to this. It was as if it had not been hit and was not affected at all.

In fact, of course the water dragon cannot be invincible. Even Christina herself cannot do it, and it is naturally impossible to create an invincible water dragon. In fact, after every cannonball penetrates the water dragon's body, Christina needs to use her magic power to help the water dragon repair the hole, which means that the seawater in this part needs to be condensed again. This process consumes mana, so as long as the opponent's shells are fired enough, Christina can be consumed to the point where she is unable to replenish her mana. But, it's a pity. The opponent's cannon fire rate is too slow, and the power of the front-loaded cannon is low. Coupled with the slow rate of fire, the damage to the water dragon cannot keep up with Christina's repair speed. Although Christina needs to constantly consume mana, her title of Yuan** King allows her to have a superhuman speed of mana regeneration. As long as she does not throw ultimate moves in succession, the general skill consumption is not as fast as her mana regeneration speed, so It is basically impossible to consume her.

Although the battleships did minimal damage to this water dragon, this water dragon's counterattack ability is very strong. Every time it waved its huge claws or hit a battleship with its head, it could directly smash the entire ship into two pieces. The power was absolutely terrifying.

Compared to Christina, True Red's attacks on the other side seem to be nothing, just constantly jumping between battleships. But in fact, as long as you pay attention, you will find that True Red's side is actually more terrifying.

Every time Zhenhong landed on a battleship, he would first clear away all the people who were in the way, and then after brewing for a few seconds, he suddenly squatted down and punched the deck beneath his feet. However, it is different from her usual fighting style. Normally, when this punch hits the deck, there will definitely be many holes, but this time when Zhenhong punched down, there was a muffled sound, and then there was no response. However, if you observe carefully, you will find that when Zhenhong hits the deck with a punch, the whole ship sinks a little, and then a circle of waves will spread around the hull, and Zhenhong this When the time comes, he will jump off the deck and rush directly to the next warship.

It seemed that Zhenhong's attack left without any results, but every time Zhenhong left, the ship would suddenly snap in two in the middle and capsize quickly after continuing to drive for more than ten seconds. If it can be considered an accident once or twice, but it is like this every time, a normal person can guess that it must be related to the really popular punch before.

Zhenhong's attacks are extremely sharp. She can usually crush even a mountain with one punch, let alone a battleship. The reason why the ship was not destroyed on the spot was for the same purpose. First, I don’t want to fall into the sea myself and scare those people at twenty. If you simply punch through a ship, this will only prove your strength, but if you can punch it through with just one punch, you can let the ship disintegrate later. That means your use and control of power have reached a certain level. Therefore, the strength shown by Zhenhong is even more exaggerated than Christina's in the eyes of some knowledgeable people.

There were only a few ships left by the other side. Under the joint attack of Zhenhong and Christina, all the remaining warships soon sank to the bottom of the sea. As for those supply ships...they were all captured in the end. After the warships were gone, although these transport ships were equipped with artillery, the number was too small, and they were all injured. They could not outrun the opponent's warships, so they all surrendered voluntarily.

Captain Donovan was obviously very happy after seeing the results of True Red and Christina. In a battle with a fleet that was larger than theirs, not only did our own losses be very small, but we actually captured most of the opponent's transport ships. This is definitely a great achievement. So Captain Donovan was very happy. She also showed unusual enthusiasm for those of us who brought her victory.

"I really don't know how to thank you!" Captain Donovan said excitedly: "Your strength will definitely be honored in our country. Even our National Protector is about the same level as you. existence. I believe the king would really like to see you all."

"No, no, no, we don't need to see the king, and we don't even have time to go to your country. We just want your help to send us to the coldest place around here."

The only location-related information we have is that the map world we will experience will include water and ice fields. The water is now there. Then our next destination should be the ice field. That's why I have such an answer.

Captain Donovan obviously did not expect that we would have such a request. It felt a little strange, but she didn't stand there dumbly. Instead, she turned around and gave some instructions to her men. Soon several crew members brought a roll of paper. Captain Donovan took it and opened it.

Although we have never seen this thing, we can tell after a brief look that it is a sea map. Captain Donovan asked two sailors to help her hold the chart, and he pointed to a position on it and said: "We are probably at this position now, and the cold place you are talking about may mean cold." Ice continent. It's in this place."

I looked at the location pointed out by Captain Donovan and found that the distance between the two places was quite far. On the chart, there was almost a distance of more than one hand.

"How big is the scale of this picture?"

"What did you say?" Captain Donovan was stunned for a moment.

Next, I talked to her about it and Captain Donovan understood what I meant by the scale. But unfortunately, their charts do not have a scale, and the positions on the charts are only approximate coordinates. In fact, this thing is similar to an ancient treasure map. The islands and other things on it are symbolic representations. They are not specific locations, but just a general directional thing. Obviously, the navigation technology in this world is not very developed, and there is no scale for nautical charts. Fortunately, Captain Donovan's father is also a captain, and he has been drifting at sea all his life. He knows this ice continent very well, because his fleet has docked in this continent. However, the other party is not here now, nor is it at the port of the country where Captain Donovan and the others are located, but is sailing at sea. What's even worse is that the opponent's route is still uncertain, and there is no GPS here, so there is no way to locate the opponent's position.

"What should we do?" Jin Coin asked anxiously.

Captain Donovan looked at us and thought for a while and said: "Let's do this! Anyway, our mission this time is to find the opponent's fleet for a decisive battle. Since you helped us overfulfill the mission, in return, I will Help them to the end. I will separate the fleet immediately, let the slower warships return to the port with the transport ship that brought the prisoners, and select the three fastest light warships to take you to the ice continent."

"But don't you know the way?" Jin Coin asked.

Captain Donovan smiled and said: "Don't I have a chart? Although I have never been there, it should not be difficult to find. The Ice Continent is not a small island, it is very big. Just sail in that direction. You can encounter it. And as long as you see the continental line, you can definitely find the port by running along the coastline."

"That feels too bad for you. But, can I make a suggestion?" I asked aloud.

Captain Donovan asked in surprise: "What suggestion?"

"I hope not to use a light speedboat. Nor three ships. Just one, the ship that can withstand the most wind and waves in your fleet."

"What?" My suggestion can be said to be very strange. Normal people would find it abnormal.

Of course I asked for this because when we set the mission before, we clearly saw that the weather conditions options were all bad weather, but here now there are only level 4 or 5 winds, and the waves are not very big, which is considered a relatively normal situation. Therefore, I believe that the so-called extreme climate conditions should occur when we sail to that ice continent. Therefore, it is basically suicide to bring a light warship that is fast but weak in wind and wave resistance. Although we people will not die due to extreme weather, if the ship sinks or Captain Donovan dies, we will not be able to find our way. so. Instead of taking three small battleships that were destined to sink. It is better to bring a larger and more stable super battleship.

After hesitating for a while, Captain Donovan finally agreed to our request, but she did not ask us why we had such a request. It can be seen that although she is not old, her mind is incomparable to ordinary people.

The fleet was quickly grouped under Captain Donovan's arrangements. Most of the warships in the fleet turned around and left. Only one battleship remained. It is the flagship of this fleet. This is a very huge battleship. certainly. This is compared to wooden-hulled battleships, and is incomparable to the ironclad ships in our guild. The smallest armored ship bases in our guild are all over 5,000 tons, and this battleship is only 5,000 tons at most. There is no comparison between the two.

As the flagship, this ship is Captain Donovan's largest battleship, but it also suffered some damage in the previous battle, but the damage was not serious. After a simple supply, some of the captured supplies were loaded onto the battleship, and then emergency repairs were carried out. After dealing with some slightly more serious injuries, the battleship separated from the fleet and began to sail while continuing repairs. Some minor injuries.

After the main fleet completely left our sight, I found Captain Donovan and said: "Captain, we are very pressed for time, so we hope to help speed up this ship. I wonder if it is possible. .”

"You want to help us speed up? How? This boat has no oars. Even if you want to go into the water and row, there is no place for you to contribute!"

"No, no, no, you can't speed up much with the oars. I hope that my magic pet can help pull your boat, so that the speed can be faster."

"Magic pet? Does it mean that you can summon those magical beasts from the star realm to help?" Captain Donovan obviously knows the summoner profession.

I nodded and said, "Absolutely. However, my summoned creature is very large and a bit scary. I hope the crew can be notified in advance so as not to scare anyone."

"Of course there is no problem with this. We will inform you right away."

After talking to all the crew members, we came to the deck. At this time, the deck was crowded, even the mast was full. However, when I released Lucky and Plague, many people were startled, and some even fell off the mast. Thanks to Christina's preparation, she was waiting below for these people to fall. Throw in the Feather Falling Technique, otherwise just the appearance of Lucky and Plague can already cause casualties.

The appearance of the two dragons made the sailors on the battleship talk about it, but something even more surprising happened to them later. The Little Dragon Girl didn't cause much of a stir when she appeared in human form. Although the Little Dragon Girl was very beautiful and the horns on her head were also very distinctive, she was still in human form after all and was far less visually impactful than Lucky and Plague. However, what Xiao Longnu did surprised these people, because after she appeared, she just stretched out her hand to lift it up, and the battleship slowly left the sea and floated.

It is not an easy task to make a warship of more than 5,000 tons fly, but Xiao Longnu actually lifted it up with such ease, which is really amazing. However, since they had said hello in advance, they were surprised, and the people on the boat did not feel any panic.

After the battleship took off to a height of about ten meters above the sea, it stopped rising. It was not that Xiao Longnu couldn't make the battleship fly higher, but because this was not an air battleship of our guild, it was just a wooden-shell battleship, and When designing, I never considered how to fly. So flying too high is obviously quite dangerous for this kind of ship.

After the battleship stabilized, we asked Captain Donovan to find someone to stow the sails, then tie the spare ropes to various parts of the ship that could bear the force, and finally handed the other end of the concentrated ropes to Lucky and plague. The two dragons just grabbed the rope with their claws, then flapped their wings and struggled forward.

As the rope was straightened, everyone on the boat felt the hull suddenly jump forward, and many people almost fell to the ground. However, once it started to move, the battleship stabilized, and the acceleration continued. Because it was suspended in the air and the sails were retracted, the resistance of this battleship was much smaller than before. With the help of the two giant dragons, it quickly gained speed. Captain Donovan stood on the side of the ship with some excitement, looking at the sea passing by below and said: "It would be great if our warships could usually run so fast!"

"As long as you develop your navigation skills seriously, there will always be a day." After I finished speaking, I asked: "By the way. How are we going to go now? Just fly in a straight line like this?" (To be continued...)
