Chapter 82 Cooperation and Help
The so-called solution to the enemy is actually just showing off our strength. We don’t know the people in this medium-sized fleet. Cooperation is based on what we need. 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 the cooperation between us. Moreover, the other party should not be a secondary patient, and after seeing our strength, they will be more enthusiastic.
It is not necessary for all personnel to take action to show their strength. It is better to keep a little mystery. Therefore, there are only two of us who really take action. One is Zhenhong, and the other is Christina.
Christina has exposed some of her strength before, so it’s nothing more to take action. As for Zhenhong... She is in a melee and has no fancy abilities, so it’s not much different whether she is exposed or not. On the contrary, the abilities of gold coins and roses are very special, so she can only play a role at critical moments when she hides it.
"Christina, it's so red, I'll leave it to you." There were only a dozen enemy ships left on the sea and had not sunk yet, so the mission was not very heavy. After a brief explanation, I turned to Captain Donovan over there and asked, "Captain Donovan, can your sea beasts be recalled? We will destroy those ships later. If your sea beasts are in the ship..."
"This is not a problem." Captain Donovan immediately gave instructions to his subordinates. The other party quickly ran out and shouted a few words to the chess player. Then the chess player began to send flags to inform other warships. Soon a sharp high-frequency whistle sounded on the surrounding warships, similar to a dog flute. However, because I included the bloodline of the demon race in the game, I could also hear this frequency of sound.
As the sound of flutes sounded here, a large number of sea beasts suddenly surged out from the windows on the enemy warships, and then jumped into the water and swam back towards their own warships. Obviously, this thing has a caller-like function.
Since the sea beast has withdrawn, the rest is simple.
Christina stood on the deck and started casting spells. She did not use her usual signature skills. Since she was showing her strength, she should show off her a little. Although a simple burst fireball could severely damage a wooden battleship, it would look too simple. Christina directly casts a spell to summon a huge water dragon from the sea water. It is not the kind of jet stream, but a giant dragon composed of sea water. The length of this dragon is the same as a real dragon, and it is considered a larger type among dragons. When floating on the sea, it looks almost as long as the head and tail of two warships are connected.
As soon as the water dragon appeared, it roared and began to smash the ship. Those warships that were only half the size of it were not enough to see in front of this huge water dragon. One was sunk in a few seconds, and there was no power to fight back. The water dragon's body was condensed from sea water. After being hit by the shell, it had no reaction at all. The projectile entered directly from one side of the water dragon's body and then penetrated from the other side. Although it seemed like a hole was made. However, the water healed automatically as soon as the shell passed, and then sealed the hole again. The water dragon had no reaction to this. It was as if it was not shot and was not affected at all.
In fact, water dragons are certainly impossible to be invincible. Even Christina herself can't do it, so naturally it is even more impossible to create an invincible water dragon. In fact, after each shell pierces the water dragon's body, Christina needs to use her own magic to help the water dragon repair the hole, that is, it is necessary to recondensate the sea water in this part. This process is deceptive. Therefore, as long as the opponent's shells are shot enough, Christina can be consumed until she is powerless.
It's a shame to replenish magic. However, it's a pity that the opponent's cannon fires too slowly, and the power of the front-loading cannon is already small. In addition, the slow fire rate makes the damage to the water dragon not keep up with Christina's repair speed. Although Christina needs to constantly consume demons, her title of Elemental Queen gives her the superhuman return speed, as long as she doesn't throw her ultimate moves in a row. The consumption of ordinary skills is not as fast as her return speed, so it is basically impossible to waste her.
Although the warships have minimal damage to this water dragon, the counterattack ability of this water dragon is very strong. Every time it waves its huge claws or hits a warship with its head, it can directly smash the entire ship into two sections, and its power is definitely terrifying.
Compared to Christina, Zhenhong's attack on the other side seemed nothing, just jumping around one warship after another. But in fact, just pay attention and you will find that Zhenhong's attack is actually even more terrifying.
Every time Zhenhong lands on a warship, she will first clear the people around her, then brew for a few seconds, and then suddenly squat and punch on the deck under her feet. However, it is different from her usual fighting style. Usually, there will definitely be multiple holes on the deck when she punches, but this time Zhenhong swings her punch, and then there is no response. However, if you observe carefully, you will find that when Zhenhong hits the deck with her punch, the entire ship sinks a little, and then a circle of waves will spread around the hull. At this time, Zhenhong will jump from the deck and go straight to the next battleship.
It seems that Zhenhong's attack left without any result, but every time Zhenhong left, the ship will suddenly break into two pieces and quickly turn over after more than ten seconds of travel. If it is once or twice, it can be considered an accident, but it is like this every time. Normal people can guess that this must be related to Zhenhong's punch before.
Zhenhong's attack is extremely sharp. Usually, even a mountain can shatter you with one punch, let alone a warship. The reason why a ship is broken without shattering on the spot is nothing more than a purpose. One is that he doesn't want to fall into the sea, and twenty to shock those people. If he just smashes through a ship with one punch, it can only prove that you have great strength, but if you can finish one punch and let the ship disintegrate later, it means that your use and control of power have reached a state. Therefore, the strength shown by Zhenhong is even more exaggerated than Christina in the eyes of some people who know how to do it.
Originally, there were not many ships left on the other side. Under the joint attack of Zhenhong and Christina, the remaining warships soon sank into the bottom of the sea. As for those supply ships... they were eventually captured. After the warships were gone, although these transport ships were equipped with artillery, they were too small and were injured, so they could not escape the other's warships. Therefore, they all surrendered voluntarily.
Captain Donovan was obviously very happy after seeing the battle results of Zhenhong and Christina. He fought with a fleet that was more than them. Not only did he suffer very little losses, but he also captured most of the other side's transport ships. This was definitely a great contribution, so Captain Donovan was very happy. He also showed extraordinary 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 regarded as a guest of honor in our country. Even our great master of the country protection is an existence of about the same level as you. I believe the king must want to meet you."
"No, no, we don't need to see the king. We don't even have time to go to your country. We help you just want you to help you get us to the coldest place nearby."
The only place we have in all our information is that the map world we are going to experience will include water surface and ice fields. Now that the water surface is already there, our destination should be ice fields next, so I will have such an answer.
Captain Donovan obviously did not expect us to have such a request. It felt a little strange, but she did not stand there stupidly, but turned around and ordered something to her subordinates. Soon several crew members brought a roll of paper. Captain Donovan opened it after taking it.
Although we have never seen this thing, we can tell after a brief look at it that this is a chart. Captain Donovan asked two sailors to help her pull the chart, and he pointed to a position above and said, "We are probably at this position now. Then, the cold place you mentioned may refer to the Ice Continent. It is 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. There was almost a distance of more than one palm on the chart.
"How big is the scale of this picture?"
"What did you say?" Captain Donovan was stunned for a moment.
Next, I told her about Captain Donovan and understood what I meant by scale, but unfortunately their charts do not have scales, and the locations on the charts are all rough coordinates. In fact, this thing is similar to the ancient treasure map. The islands and other things on them are symbolic representations, not specific locations, but just a rough directional thing. It is obvious that the navigation technology in this world is not very developed, and there is no scale at all at the charts. But luckily, Captain Donovan's father is also a captain. And it can be said that he has been drifting on the sea for a lifetime and knows very well about this ice continent because his fleet has once been to the port on this continent. However, the other party is not here now, nor at the port of the country where Captain Donovan and others are located, but is sailing on the sea. What's more, the other party's route is still uncertain, and there is no GPS in this place. It is impossible to locate the other party's location at all.
"What should I do?" Jinxian asked anxiously.
Captain Donovan looked at us for a while and said, "Let's do this! Anyway, the task we came out this time is to find the other side's fleet to fight. Since your gang leader has exceeded the task, I will help people in the end in return. I will separate the fleet immediately. Let the slower warships take the prisoners to the port and select the three fastest light warships to take you to find the ice continent."
"But don't you know the way?" Jinzi asked.
Captain Donovan said with a smile: "Don't I have a chart? Although I haven't been there, it should not be difficult to find. The Ice Continent is not a small island, it is very large. You can definitely encounter it as long as you sail in that direction. As long as you see the continental line and then run along the coastline, you will definitely find the port."
"That's so great that you guys. But can I give me some advice?" I asked.
Captain Donovan asked in surprise: "What suggestions?"
"I hope I don't use light clutches, nor three ships. Just one, I want the ship that can resist the wind and waves most in your fleet."
"Why?" My suggestion is very strange, and normal people will think it is abnormal.
Of course, I requested this because when we set up the mission before, we clearly saw that the weather conditions and options were all bad weather, but now there are only four or five levels of wind and the waves are not very large, which is a relatively normal situation. So, I think the so-called extreme climate conditions should happen when we sail to the ice continent in the future. So, bringing a light warship with fast speed but weak wind and wave resistance is basically a suicide. Although we will not die because of extreme weather, if the ship sinks, or Captain Donovan dies, we will not find the way. So, instead of taking three small warships that are destined to sink, it is better to bring a larger and more stable super warship.
After hesitating for a while, Captain Donovan finally agreed to our request, but she did not ask 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 the arrangement of Captain Donovan. Most of the warships in the fleet turned around and left only one warship, which is the flagship of the fleet. This is a very huge warship. Of course, this is incomparable to the ironclad ships of our guild. The ironclad ships of our guild are basically the smallest of five thousand tons, and this warship nods at most five thousand tons. The two are incomparable.
As a flagship, this ship is Captain Donovan's largest warship, but it was also injured in the previous battle, but the damage was not large. After simple supplies, some of the captured supplies were loaded onto the warship, and then emergency repairs were carried out. After dealing with some slightly more serious injuries, the warship and the fleet began to sail while continuing to repair some inconspicuous minor injuries.
After the main fleet completely left our sight, I found Captain Donovan. Then he said, "Captain, we have a very tight time, so we hope to help speed up the ship. I don't know if it's OK."
"You want to help us accelerate? How to increase it? This boat has no oars, and even if you want to go into the water and row, there is no place to let you do your work!"
"No, no, no, you can't speed up much with a paddle. I hope my magic pet can help pull your ship so that it can be faster."
"Mortal Pet? Do you mean you can summon those monsters from the Astral Realm to help you?" Captain Donovan obviously knew the summoner profession.
I nodded and said, "It's almost the same. But my summoning creature is very large and looks a bit scary. I hope the crew can get notification in advance so as not to scare anyone."
"Of course this is OK. Let's notify you now."
After talking to all the crew in advance, we came to the deck, and the deck was full at this time, even the mast was full. However, when I released the lucky and the plague, many people were shocked. Some even fell off the mast. Thanks to Christina's preparation, she threw a feather drop technique while waiting for these people to fall down, otherwise the appearance of the lucky and the plague would have caused casualties.
The appearance of the two dragons made the sailors on the warship talk. But something that surprised them even more happened. When Xiaolongnu appeared in human form, it did not cause much sensation. Although Xiaolongnu was beautiful and the horns on her head were also very distinctive, it was a human form after all, and it was far from the visual impact of luck or plague. However, what Xiaolongnu did surprised these people, because after she appeared, she just reached out to make a lifting move, and the warship slowly left the sea and floated up.
It is not an easy task to fly a warship of more than 5,000 tons, but Xiaolongnu actually lifted it up like this, which was really amazing. However, because he said hello in advance, he was surprised, but the people on the ship did not feel panic or anything like that.
After the warship took off to a height of about ten meters from the sea, it stopped rising. It was not that Xiaolongnu could not let the warship fly higher, but because this was not the air warship of our guild, it was just a wooden shell warship, and it never considered how to fly during the design. So flying too high is obviously quite dangerous for such a ship.
After the warship stabilized, we asked Captain Donovan to find someone to put the sails away, then tied the spare rope to each part of the ship that could be subjected to force, and finally handed over the other end of the concentrated rope to Luck and Plague. The two dragons grabbed the rope with their claws, then flapped their wings and moved forward with all their strength.
As the rope was straightened, everyone on the ship felt the hull suddenly jump forward, and many people almost fell to the ground. However, once the warship moved, it stabilized, and the acceleration of the stone continued. Because it was suspended in the air and the sails were closed, the resistance of the warship was much smaller than before. With the help of two giant dragons, it quickly grew. Captain Donovan stood on the side of the ship with some excitement and looked at the sea flying past below and said, "I wish our warship could run so fast!"
