Chapter 79 Who are you helping?

Even the timely help and the icing on the cake have come out, and even the fool knows how to choose.

"Then I can only blame the opponent for being unlucky." Zhenhong said.

Although Rose understood what I meant, she did not start the battle immediately. Instead, she asked the assistant first. "Do you have any references?"

"I have no way to help with this, it is limited information."

"Then there is nothing to do." I said: "Let's take off first, don't get close to the warships of both sides, let them exchange fire first, check their approximate military preparations before starting the battle. Although their cannons don't look very good, it's hard to guarantee that they are not particularly powerful weapons. I don't want to be damaged as soon as I enter the mission."

"High-difficulty tasks, caution is necessary." Christina also agreed with me.

Everyone started to take off as I asked. Although they did not leave the sight of the fleets on both sides, the meaning of not being involved was already very obvious. In fact, our behavior made the captains on both sides relieved, because when they found that we could fly, they knew that we were all very powerful people, and both sides were worried that we were each other's people, so they were all worried. However, our current behavior at least shows that we are not each other's people, so they have to feel a little better. But no matter what, we are here, after all, it is a hidden danger, but under the current circumstances, they have no time to take care of us.

After we made a gesture, the warships on both sides gradually entered the range. Neither side used any tactics of seizing the upper vents, but each set up a long snake formation, and then moved closer together in a 8-shaped shape on the sea. Those who didn't know thought they were going to merge into a fleet. However, in fact, this was not about merging the fleet at all, but about shooting into two columns to start bombarding.

Because the cannons of sail warships are mainly concentrated on both sides, so to attack, you must face the enemy side with the side. This mode of warships on both sides being arranged in two columns can just exert maximum firepower. Of course, the one side has the greatest firepower. The enemy also has the greatest firepower, so this tactic usually occurs when both sides have a grudge and the positions of both sides are not suitable for grabbing the upper wind position. If you can grab the T-head position, most fleets will consider robbing. After all, such a position can ensure that your side has the greatest firepower, but most enemy cannons cannot fire.

The fleets of both sides were obviously the type of Qiu Shen and like the sea. They started a decisive battle as soon as they met. Even the transport ships did not fall. Although those transport ships were for transportation, the transport ships in these sailing ships were not without any armed forces. They were only half less than the cannons of warships, and were not completely unarmed, so at this time the transport ships also took battle together.

"Hurry, hurry up, let's take a few shots to see your firepower." Zhenhong muttered in the sky a little unwaited.

Both sides seemed to have heard Zhenhong's words, and they started the battle as soon as she finished speaking. The warships of both sides almost seemed to have made an appointment. They opened fire at the same time without a second. The warships of both sides fired in turn with sidewalk cannons at a distance of only seventy or eighty meters. In an instant, they saw fires flashing in the middle of the fleets of both sides, smoke filled the smoke, accompanied by broken wood chips flying everywhere.

The warships on both sides are basically the same in structure. The main battleships are equipped with three-layer gun positions on one side, the highest layer is the deck gun position, and the two layers below are in the cabin. The gun positions on the deck are slightly fewer, and the two layers below are a row of twelve guns. In other words, there are more than thirty guns on one side of this warship, which is much more than the cannons of modern warships. Of course, a modern warship can defeat a fleet here with just one gun.

Both sides seem to have solid bullets, because although the hit rate is amazingly high, the damage is very average. After the two sides hit the ball, each ship ate at least 10 or 20 shells. Even such front-mounted cannons rarely miss the distance of less than 80 meters, with a hit rate of up to 80%. For modern warships, 10 or 20 shells were basically useless by the opponent. After all, modern shells are too powerful, but the solid bullets here are obviously not so powerful. Although they have hit 10 or 20 shells, most warships have not changed significantly. Except for the many holes on the side of the ship, it feels like that.

After a round of artillery attacks, the two sides turned to both sides in a tacit understanding, and then the entire fleet fell in a direction and lined up in two columns again, and then used cannons on the other side to start bombing. However, this time the shelling was not so neat. Everyone fired randomly, some of them were fast and some were slow, and the fire density was also different. Some ships even fired a few shells sporadically. Of course, there were also types that were still strong.

The two rounds of artillery looked ordinary, which was completely the standard naval combat mode of the sailing warship and pre-installed guns. After confirming this, we planned to start taking action. However, just when we started and had not yet flown a few meters away, the largest ship in the fleet we originally planned to help gave us a shocking appearance.

Originally, this flagship was only a little bigger than other ships in this fleet, and there were only a dozen more artillery pieces, which didn't seem to be exaggerated. However, just after the two fleets completed shooting on the other side, the flagship suddenly began to turn towards the fleet over there, and this action was quite strange.

After the second round of artillery attacks, the subsequent fleet still turned outward, and most of the ships in the fleet here also turned outward, but this flagship turned inward, aiming its bow at an opponent's main battleship. Then, in our surprised eyes, the head-shaped bow of the giant dragon head at the bow of the flagship actually opened the dragon's mouth. Then, a dazzling white light shot out from the dragon's mouth, and crossed the distance between the two at a speed no less than a shell, directly hit the aimed and turning battleship.

It would be nothing if it was just a white light. The key is that this beam of light that looked three or four meters long and in an olive shape actually exploded violently after hitting the warship. It was not an ordinary violent explosion, but as if a large-caliber blast grenade with a caliber of more than 400 mm hit the middle of the hull. With a bang, the warship was completely blown into pieces of wood in the sky in a large number of blue and white flames, and even the two warships near it were ignited by the flames.

"Damn, what's this thing?" We were about to fly forward and were startled to be shocked.

Rose looked at Christina and asked, "Do you feel what magic it is?"

"Thunder magic, but I have never seen this fluctuation before, and I don't know what magic it is." Christina said: "It could be something like a spherical lightning."

"But what I just saw was obviously a beam of light!" Zhenhong said.

"Some spherical lightning will be very bright, and when moving at high speed, it will leave a afterimage on the human retina. It's like you staring at a strong light for a few seconds and even if you close your eyes, you can still see a white dot. The light is just a afterimage, but it's actually a light ball moving at high speed."

"But this power is too terrifying, right?" Jin Coin asked.

"It shouldn't be a matter of power." Rose said: "Of course, that thing has great power, but this effect is mainly because the sail warship itself is not strong, so it will be blown up in one go. If our guild's steel warship wouldn't have been like this."

"As long as the ammunition and magic crystals on the ship are not ignited by electromagnetic induction, the steel warship can actually shield spherical lightning." Christina said. "The metal shell of the warship will shield current on the surface of the hull like a Faraday cage and then lead it into the sea. There is only voltage and no current in the ship. So there will be no electric shock. But those sensitive equipment may be."

"Hey hey hey, who are we going to help now?" Zhenhong asked, "The fleet here looks weak, but this secret weapon...if it can shoot continuously, the other party's fleet will not be allowed to play at all, right?"

The fleets of both sides here actually only have more than twenty ships. The side we originally planned to help, that is, the side that suddenly showed their power, had a total of twenty ships. Nine of them were warships, and the remaining fourteen were transport ships with only two rows of artillery positions. The other side had even fewer warships, only twenty, which was three less than here, but there were fourteen of them all on the main ships, and the remaining transport ships seemed to have stronger firepower than the transport ships here, so to speak, it was actually the warships over there that took advantage.

However, if this thunder and lightning weapon can be used multiple times, even if it is not a continuous shooting type, the opponent will definitely not be able to hold on. After all, as long as this thing is aimed at, it will completely deal with the opponent one at a time. Moreover, if the opponent is dense enough, there may be more than one ship each time. The one just now ignited the warships on both sides. Although the fire was extinguished later, the sails were burned. So the two ships have basically lost their combat power. This is just annoying about sails. If there is no sail, it cannot move. If it cannot move, it cannot fight and it will become a living target. In other words, the secret weapon just now attacked is actually equivalent to reimbursing three ships. Fortunately, the two ships that were injured and unable to move are transport ships. If the two main ships were slumped there, the other party could run away now.

After Zhenhong asked, we were a little hesitant. According to the previous statement, we should be helping people with timely help, but now we don’t know who is better. So we are not sure who needs charcoal. In this way, we are at a loss.

"Or else, let's take a look?" Rose suggested.

Because we didn't know who we were going to help, we all agreed to take a look.

After killing the opponent's main battleship, the flagship turned around and joined the formation and started to set up the long snake formation. However, it seemed that they were going to grab the upper hand this time. Because one ship in the opponent's fleet was completely destroyed, and two other ships caught fire, the sails lost their function, which meant they could not move. So the opponent's fleet began to hesitate whether they needed to rescue the two ships first. As a result, after hesitation, he missed the opportunity and was run to the front by the opponent.

The sailing warship sails by wind, so there is no way to decide the course as a mobile warship. Once the opportunity is missed, it will lose its advantage immediately. If a warship has been lost, it will be taken to the upper hand by the opponent again. It will be really over.

Faced with this situation, the fleet opposite decisively chose the same tactic as the other party - to use the ultimate move.

I saw a warship in this fleet that was previously considered a transport ship suddenly opened the stern of the ship behind, and then I saw many unknown creatures as big as a calf jumping into the sea from the door that opened there.

The shape of these creatures is very strange. At first glance, they look like wolves without hair, and their bodies are all dark. However, in fact, it is not that they have no hair, but that of a very dense room, just like the fur of an otter. Moreover, this thing is obviously an amphibious combat elite because their tail proportions are a bit too long. Moreover, there are longitudinal fins that can be raised and folded at will at the top and bottom of the tail. As long as this thing is upright and combined with the swing of the tail, it can become a good underwater propeller. Therefore, the underwater movement ability of these things should be quite good. Moreover, these guys have a very good characteristic, that is, they are either able to hold their breath or have gills. Anyway, the guy has not come out after he goes into the water.

After these things were in the water, they immediately scattered and swam towards the fleet over there. The warships on the opposite side fired their machine guns, and then these guys dived, with no way to see. These sailing warships were still in the pre-cannon era, so of course they could not have anti-submarine weapons. Besides, even modern anti-submarine torpedoes, it is almost impossible to hit dolphins. The movement speed of creatures in the water is too fast and very flexible, so it is difficult to aim.

After they got into the water, the opposite guy lost his target and had no way to fire. However, they decided to continue to grab the upper hand. As a result, when they had just arrived at the right position and started to line up to counterattack, the creatures who were getting into the water finally arrived near these battleships.

Just as those battleships were lined up, the sea surface suddenly exploded on the side of one of the ships, and a creature jumped two or three meters high from the sea water. Then, its sharp and powerful claws buckled on the boat board, and climbed directly to the bottom of the cannon window like a flat ground, and then he cleverly lowered his head and drilled in.

As the first sea beast came out of the water, sea beasts began to climb onto the warships near the surrounding warships, and then the warships here began to get messy inside. At first, there were only screams and fighting sounds. But soon one of the warships suddenly exploded with a bang, and a hole several meters wide was directly opened on the side of the hull, and the situation inside was clear at a glance. With the explosion of the ship, the other ship suddenly began to turn away from the formation. Although he had the intention to turn back later, he had to wait for the entire fleet to pass and then line up to the end of the line because he had to force it into it, otherwise it would cause the warships behind to lose their position. Then the fleet would be broken into two pieces.

The chaos continued. Although the fleet finally successfully killed it back, the artillery fire was sparse after passing by the fleet here. Many warships only fired a few guns. And just after the shelling was completed, another warship exploded, and this time it was even worse, and it completely disintegrated.

Although the visual effect is not as exaggerated as the thunder and lightning weapon, it has to be said that these sea beasts are actually quite powerful, especially as the sea beasts here seem to be still in battle, and maybe they can be directly torn apart by the opponent's fleet. However, they are not easy to bully. After the fleet passed, the flagship once again pointed the bow of the ship towards a main battleship over there, and then decisively shot another lightning. This time it was exactly the same as last time, and it completely shattered the opponent's main ship with just one shot. However, because they learned the lesson this time, they divided the fleet very well, so they did not cause any joint damage.

After the two fleets separated, they began to circle again, then looked for a position again and planned to fight. At this time, Christina looked at me and asked, "President, it seems that their strength should be similar. Which side should we help?"

"I think it's the same on either side, because now both sides have suffered a lot of casualties, and helping anyone is considered a timely help." Rose analyzed: "However, I think there is a very likely unplanned benefit to choose from."

"The benefits of unplanned?" I looked at Rose in confusion because I didn't expect any unplanned benefits.

Rose explained without even understanding it: "It's obvious that the party we originally planned to help has some kind of energy technology, that is, the lightning attack. The other party has a training method for sea beasts. So, if we help the original party, we might get the principle of this energy weapon and improve it with our technology, which should be a good weapon. After all, their technology is so bad that they can make such powerful weapons, and we don't know that they are not as good as them, right? As for the other party, helping them should get a new sea beast as a new weapon for our navy. Although our weapons are now very advanced, we have to admit that these sea beasts are actually very useful. Their method of infiltrating into the warship and killing crew members is also useful for modern warships. After all, no matter how advanced the warships are, the people inside are still the same."

"It makes sense. So how do we choose?" Christina asked looking at me.

I was a little hesitant about Christina's question. Energy technology is indeed a good thing, but I like sea beasts too. After all, I am a summoner! But, it seems that you can't have both! Wait, you can't have both? It seems that it's not impossible!

As long as the thunder weapon is obtained, we may be able to use reverse engineering to study it. As for the training of sea beasts, it seems that it is enough to catch a prisoner. Of course, the premise is that the sample cannot be damaged, and the prisoner must know the method of taming. Both sides have risks, but they are feasible, which is really a dilemma!
