The Battleship and the Scouting Ship
The Marquis of the Calm Sea looked at the crowd with a smile.
After a long while, the Sky Tiger disciples finally caught their breath. Chen Tianjiu bowed bitterly and said, "Please forgive our rudeness, Marquis."
"Hahaha, it's fine, it's fine. I was just joking with you."
The Marquis of the Calm Sea laughed heartily. His gaze paused on Luo Zheng for a moment and he said, "You came at the right time. A few days ago, a fleet of the Brave Battalion was besieged by a group of demonic beasts in the sea. They suffered great losses. Only fifteen out of thirty-six ships made up of shipwrights managed to escape. The generals on the ships were all killed in battle. We can fill in the gap."
"Hiss!"
Everyone couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Almost all the ships of the Jing Sea Army were equipped with weapons like the Immortal Slaughtering Crossbow, and the generals on the ships were at least at the Transformation Realm. Out of the thirty-six ships, only fifteen managed to escape!
The demonic beasts in the sea were too terrifying.
"Alright, this is the ship's seal. It is also the seal that you command. The Calm Sea Army only recognizes the seal and not the person. Now, most of the ships are damaged and many soldiers have died. There is also a huge gap in the weapons. It can be said that there are many things waiting for new ones. This is an urgent matter, so I won't say much. Take the ship's seal and go! "
The Marquis of the Calm Sea looked indifferent as if he was talking about a family matter. Everyone's faces were bitter.
They didn't expect to face so many difficulties when they just arrived at the Calm Sea Army. The Marquis of the Calm Sea clearly intended to wash his hands of them.
Military orders were like mountains. No one dared to disobey. One by one, they stepped forward to take the ship's seal.
"Ka, why are our ship's seals a little different?"
Yan Long took the ship's seal and couldn't help muttering.
The ship talismans in the hands of the Sky Tiger disciples were all engraved with the image of a towering ship. The ship talismans in his and Luo Zheng's hands were much smaller. They were engraved with the image of a long and narrow ship with a black awning. They didn't even have a ship tower.
"Hahaha, the disciples of the Sky Tiger Sect are third-grade generals. According to the rules of the Calm Sea Army, they can command a warship of eight hundred people. However, fourth grade Battle-Generals do not have the qualifications to do so. Therefore, these two ships of yours are scouting ships that are light in shape. Each boat is equipped with sixteen oarsmen, and their speed is extremely fast. Their main purpose is to investigate the movements of demonic beasts. "
The Marquis of the Calm Sea explained with a smile.
"Ah, a scouting ship? What's the use of that? It doesn't have any lethality. At most, it can run a little faster. What military merit can it achieve? "
Yan Long scowled miserably as he looked at Luo Zheng. What military exploits? What promotion to Sky Tiger disciple after returning to the Five Saints Army? It was all a lie!
Luo Zheng rubbed his nose and didn't say anything.
"Hahaha, those two idiots actually became the leaders of the scouting ship, and they even have sixteen sailors under them!"
"The speed of this scouting ship is indeed fast. Unfortunately, once it encounters a demonic beast with speed, it won't have the power to fight back."
"Kid, we can give you a chance. As long as you're willing to explore the path for our warship and kill some Demonic Beasts, we can give you some leftover materials. What do you think?"
As soon as they left the Calm Sea Marquis' tent, the Sky Tiger disciples began to mock him without restraint.
"Junior Brother Luo, what should we do now?"
Yan Long couldn't help but be tempted as he looked at Luo Zheng and asked.
Luo Zheng smiled faintly and didn't say anything. He walked straight ahead.
Yan Long didn't know what was going on. After thinking for a while, he followed.
"Senior Brother Chen, those two guys aren't willing to be fooled. Now that our warship formation lacks a scouting ship, I'm afraid it will be troublesome."
A young man looked at Chen Tianjiu and said.
"Hmph, let's take a look at the warship first. When we kill some Demonic Beasts and they see the benefits, they will naturally come over."
Chen Tianjiu sneered.
"Junior Brother Luo, if we don't cooperate with these Sky Tiger disciples, I'm afraid we won't be able to gain anything. Are we going to waste our trip to the Southern Demon Sea?"
Yan Long followed Luo Zheng and said unwillingly.
"Hmph, these people just want us to explore the path. If we encounter any danger, they will definitely turn around and leave. I don't want to be cannon fodder."
Luo Zheng smiled faintly.
"That's right. If we encounter a small group of Demonic Beasts, we won't get any benefits. If we encounter a large group of Demonic Beasts, they won't save us either."
Yan Long was enlightened.
"Don't think that the Calm Sea Marquis really gave them warships. Don't forget that these warships have just suffered a great defeat and are seriously damaged. Many soldiers have died and they are missing a lot of weapons. If they want to rearm and go out to sea, I don't know how much it will cost. "
Luo Zheng's face was filled with disdain. "Also, the soldiers on the warships have just suffered a great defeat. Many of their comrades have died in the stomach of the Demonic Beasts. It won't be easy for them to go out to sea again to hunt Demonic Beasts. Just this alone is enough to give them a headache. Also, who is the Calm Sea Marquis? He has led the Calm Sea Marquis for more than thirty years. His reputation is growing day by day. How can he tolerate sand in his eyes? "
"Therefore, Chen Tianjiu and the others are going to suffer. The strength of these warships are definitely not as useful as our scouting ships. "
