Extraordinary Sailing

Fortunately, even though the "Conch" is only a Tier 6 ship, it bears the name of a warship after all. As a standard configuration, there is still a copper skin covering the bottom of the ship below the waterline.

The main purpose of this design is to avoid scratching the bottom of the ship and prevent shipworms from eating wood, thereby prolonging the service life of the warship and reducing maintenance costs after each voyage.

Of course, the copper skin covering the bottom of the ship is also a huge expenditure for the Royal Navy, which is impossible for most ordinary merchant ships and fishing boats. It's good enough that they can use "black material" made of pine gum and tar as a coating.

In this case, with the copper skin and the huge size of the warship reaching 38 meters, there is no problem in temporarily resisting the impact of the big fish.

but.

But we can't let them continue to attack like this unscrupulously!

"Gary, get my alchemy musket!"

Ever since he was attacked by a small sea monster "Shock Conch" when he went out to sea for the first time, Ivan has been thinking about how a surface ship can defeat sea monsters and various sea monsters that can attack from any angle underwater. A sea creature?

Expecting them to accommodate humans to take the initiative to fight on the surface of the water, it is like many film and television works in the previous life, and it really looks down on the IQ of the audience.

If it weren't for the attack method of the "Shocking Conch" itself, which was to glide and accelerate the collision on the sea surface with less resistance, but had been hiding under the water to sneak attack, it would not be so easy to solve it.

However, for this era where the level of science and technology is still very backward, the conventional technology of the mundane world is simply not enough to solve this problem.

So try to use your brain.

When studying in the "Shadow Library" at the Naval Academy all day long, Aiwen combined the knowledge of his previous life with Anthony, who is good at making alchemy equipment and enchanting techniques, to make a gadget, which can be used at this time.

Aiwen has high expectations for this "gadget". If it proves its value in actual combat this time, it may become another standard equipment in the hands of battleship captains in addition to the "Sea Monster Pointer" in the future!

The potential value is huge.

Even, at this time, Ivan's pocket contained a "Sea Monster Pointer", which is normally issued only by captains of Tier 4 battleships and above, and it was also bought from Anthony.

This kind of thing may be in short supply as a military supply, but as one of the strongholds of the alchemy school, it is still very easy for Anthony, who is rich, powerful and connected, to get one from the "Eye of Violet".

For his career as a naval captain, Aiwen has worked hard.

"Plop!"

Keeping the crew on alert, Ivan stood alone on the bow and threw a small brass ball tied with a tough steel wire into the water.

This alchemy prop named "Song of the Siren" by Aiwen has a very single function, that is, it emits a very strong infrasound wave after entering the water, which can drive away underwater creatures like the song of the siren, but it will make them a little uncomfortable.

Infrasound generally refers to sound waves with a vibration frequency between 0.01-20 Hz, and internal organs in living organisms also have their own fixed frequency, which is precisely within this range. When these two frequencies converge, a resonance reaction will occur, dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, and serious direct death may occur.

The development of "Song of the Siren" is based on this principle.

It's just that the set infrasound frequency eliminates the human band to the greatest extent, and is close to the unique frequency of marine organisms, especially giant marine organisms.

Hum——

The sound waves that cannot be captured by the human ear are emitted from the copper ball indiscriminately. The speed of sound waves traveling in the water was extremely fast, and the "Spearfish" who were still banging into the boat underwater quickly responded.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

I can't even hold on for a few tens of seconds.

Big fish with hideous appearances jumped out of the water one after another away from the "Conch", trying to avoid the sound waves that made them very uncomfortable. Among them, the three fish monsters with relatively serious symptoms were even slightly skewed at this time.

"good chance!"

Already prepared, Ai Wenguo, who was standing on the bow and held a gun vertically, disconnected the gun and entered the attack mode!

boom--

A brilliant line of fire crossed the sea, and the moment a fish monster jumped out of the water, it pierced through its head with incomparable precision. Shooting from one eye into the other and leaving the rest unscathed.

The death of the companion/offspring made the remaining four fish monsters go crazy instantly, and their already brutal and bloodthirsty nature was directly detonated.

Although the fish monster's poor brain capacity is temporarily unclear which one is the culprit, it does not prevent them from taking the most conspicuous "Conch" as the target of venting their anger.

Regardless of the unbearable invisible attack underwater, the fish monsters rushed towards the battleship again.

But the closer they got to the "Conch" after being dazzled by their anger, the stronger the sound wave attack from "Song of the Siren" would be. In a state where he couldn't even maintain his sense of balance, he became a live target for Aiwen's gun.

boom! boom! boom!

In less than half a minute, three more speared rift toothfish fell under Aiwen's gun.

Only the leader fish monster with the largest body and the best condition is still charging alone.

By this time, no matter how stupid he was, he would have discovered the reason why his companions died one after another. After all, it is a real demonized creature. Relying on its powerful real monster body, the "leader fish monster" dives into the water from time to time to the limit of its endurance and then jumps to the surface. It moves flexibly to dodge Aiwen's aim as much as possible.

But like a cold steel shaft in its brain, the option of turning around and running away never appeared in its mind.

Soon, after the successive sacrifices of his companions attracted Aiwen's firepower.

The distance between it and the "Conch" has been shortened to less than 50 meters, and the fish monster can almost look at Aiwen, but the menacing eyes in the pair of eyes that are a little confused due to the continuous attack of infrasonic waves are still undiminished.

A voiceless neigh from a throat without vocal organs.

The spear-like spikes on the back of the gills suddenly dislocated and turned forward, and the turbulent sea water rushed out from the parotid glands and turned into a violent vortex at the roots of the spikes.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Five on one side, and a total of ten spikes on the back of the gills on both sides. Under the joint action of muscle strength and water flow, they flew out with piercing screams like a siege crossbow, and shot straight at Aiwen who was standing at the bow. .

"Get down!"

Throwing the "thorny golden rose" into Gary's arms behind him, Aiwen had drawn his sword out of its sheath, and took the initiative to meet the "rain of arrows" that were coming.

clang--

clang--

A flash of bright lightning flashed a "z" in the air, and after two deafening metal clashes, two "crossbow arrows" attacking from the front were thrown out from the side by Aiwen's superb swordsmanship.

However, driven by the huge force, this majestic kinetic energy is not so easy to offset. Even though Ivan was shot away from the spear and stabbed, he was also sent flying from the forecastle, landed on the deck and stepped back. It took several steps to stop the castration.

Fortunately, the "Song of the Siren" did not have no effect on this most powerful big fish, at least the accuracy of this wave of "Arrow Rain" was extremely poor.

Except for the two strikes from the front, the others either flew high into the sky, or were blocked by the forecastle at a low level, and did not cause any damage to the deck personnel at all.

Well, except for one that flew too high and pierced the sail.

It's a minor problem though, and it's easy to fix.

Bang——

Aiwen jumped back to the forecastle.

Sure enough, it is better to have no books than to believe in books. The introduction of "Spearing Cracked Toothfish" in "Genealogy of Demonized Creatures" that I saw did not have this magic-like ability that can shoot "crossbow arrows" at all.

Unprepared to let it get too close almost suffered a loss.

I thought that with the alchemy musket in hand, no matter the size of the fish monster, it was just a matter of one shot, even if it was left until the end, it would be fine.

"Captain, here you are!"

Ivan took the "Thorn Gold Rose" from Gary again and prepared to kill it in one go.

"Um?"

Before Aiwen could shoot, in the scope, the leader of the "Spike Cracked Toothfish" had already floated up on its belly.

After issuing this spell-like ability, his vitality was already seriously injured, and even a powerful demonic creature could not resist the close-range attack of the infrasonic wave.

"Release combat readiness!"

Without waiting for Aiwen's orders, after the battle, the sailors had put down the boats and hurriedly picked up the bodies of the five demonized fish monsters.

Seeing the hideous fish monster with an average length of more than ten meters and covering almost the entire deck of the "Conch", the crew members looked at their new captain with even more awe.

The sea in this era is not the same as the Army Knights, where seniority is considered and origin is emphasized. Various dangers and high death rates allow those who are truly capable to be convinced by others.

Obviously, the new captain of the "Conch", Major Ivan, is such a person!

Maybe.

Even without Aiwen today, the "Conch" could eventually escape relying on the strong hull and artillery deterrence of the warship, but the loss of personnel is absolutely unavoidable.

Of course, that kind of situation cannot be compared with the result of completely annihilating five demonized fish monsters now!

"Your Excellency, Captain! What should we do with these fish monsters?" Bog, the first mate in charge of logistics on the ship, walked carefully to Ivan and asked with a bow.

"Well, pick a small one for everyone to eat today. Clean up the rest and marinate them before returning to Hong Kong."

Ivan thought of the celebration banquet held after the first sea monster was captured on the "Silver Wing". Although the grade of the demonized fish monster was slightly lower, it was rare enough for ordinary sailors.

Although the overall idea of ​​the upper ruling class is to limit the spread of supernatural beings, after all, they have served in the treacherous sea for a long time, and the soldiers still have some knowledge.

Realizing the value of the demonized fish monster, they all cheered after hearing this!

"Long live Your Excellency Captain!"

Immediately, the deck was full of excitement, and the sailors who were not on duty temporarily helped clean up the fish monsters.

"etc!"

The two sailors were holding the head of the leader of the "Gillfish" and were about to open it up along the lower jaw, when Aiwen suddenly stopped their actions a little excitedly.

Regardless of the blood stains on the ground, he took two steps forward, opened the big mouth of the fish monster full of sharp teeth and fangs with his own hands, reached in and grabbed something, and broke it hard.

Click——

"Good luck, it actually condensed!"

Facing the sun, a tooth with a slight blue light in the blood-stained palm was shining brightly in the sun. To Aven, or indeed to any knight, it is more charming than the finest jewels.

That is an extraordinary feature that belongs to the "Spike Cracked Toothfish"!

In terms of quality alone, this extraordinary quality is only inferior to the "Blue Flag Demon Shark" that Aiwen once used. I really hit the big luck today! After an encounter, there was such an unexpected harvest.

Well, maybe the lucky guy is
