Due to dealing with Clement's matter, when Elvin and the others arrived at the port, all the students were already there and lined up on the dock.
Even their nominal commander, Paul, had already arrived. He was standing at the front of the line, looking at the sea in the distance. Today was the collective battle of all the students of the Naval academy's short training class. As the commander, he naturally had to go to the frontlines.
"This time it didn't hide and dared to show up in the open. Did that strange ship give it confidence?"
Through the monocular, Paul saw the black ship quietly floating on the sea in the distance. He was puzzled.
The tattered sails, the burnt body of the ship, the visible holes on the side of the ship, the strange shadows in the porthole, and the blood red moonlight cast a layer of red mist on the ship. It was no different from the legendary "Ghost Ship".
The students behind him naturally saw the ship as well.
"Is this our goal today?!"
Crail slightly opened his mouth. This was the first time in his life that he saw a "Ghost Ship". He couldn't help but be a little scared of these ghosts and monsters. "Lord Ye is a dragon" was probably talking about people like Crail.
Elvin was also a little surprised. Other than the terrifying appearance of the black ship, he also found that his seabirds didn't dare to approach the "Ghost Ship" to investigate. As long as they were close enough, they would frantically transmit their thoughts of fear back. They couldn't get any valuable information at all.
So Elvin simply let them stay away from the battlefield, along with the owl Beth, to avoid meaningless losses.
Behind them, Anthony and Dilis also had a serious expression.
Logically speaking, even though they were active military officers, their identities were special. They weren't members of the Naval academy's short training class, and they didn't need to listen to military orders like Elvin and Crail to reinforce the port.
But at this time, the two of them didn't hesitate to stay.
They were originally a team that hunted a few "Man Killer Fiends" together. Now that it was time to fight a tough battle, how could they run away?
And they knew more secrets than others, so they had more confidence in the city's defense, especially in the Princeton president who was also the head of the "Violet Eyes" branch.
Soon, the armored Iron Wall Knights, as well as the Crowmen, who wore beak masks and black leather jackets, all arrived.
The warships of the First Fleet were also in position.
Paul, who had quietly become the vice commander before boarding the ship, encouraged the students and soldiers participating in the battle:
"Brave Royal Navy!
Today, the only thing you have to do is to attack! Attack! Attack!
Marshal Princeton and His Royal Highness were right behind us. So what if it was a ghost ship? Even if the ghosts come, they will be turned to ashes by the Royal Navy's cannons! Long live the kingdom! Long live Her Majesty the Queen! "
Princeton's president was the former supreme commander of the Royal Navy. He retired only a few years ago, but he still had a terrifying influence in the Royal Navy. Who knows how many new recruits grew up listening to his legendary stories.
Thinking that His Excellency and the crown prince were watching them from behind, the soldiers' fear of the "ghost ship" was greatly reduced.
"For Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Long live the kingdom! Long live Her Majesty the Queen! "
For a moment, their momentum was unstoppable!
"Let's board!"
As the port's regular defense force, three fourth-tier warships, two third-tier warships, and one second-tier warship, a total of six battleships were already docked at the port.
It didn't mean that the First Fleet's base, New Haven, only had a few warships guarding it. It was just that the warships below the fourth-tier were required to implement a strict Transcendent quarantine system to prevent the secret Transcendent beings from spreading further.
The short-training officers, the crow-men, and the Iron Wall Knight Regiment that joined this mission were all teams that often dealt with mystics. They were even hidden forces, and other forces were directly excluded.
Not to mention, in the foreseeable future battles, ships below the battleship class were not qualified to participate at all!
The sixth-tier warship system established by the Kingdom of Shilius, the overlord of the sea power, was universal throughout the human civilization.
Fourth-tier warships were 45 meters long and had a fixed crew of 350 people. There were 50 to 56 cannons on two decks, and their size and firepower were far stronger than the sixth-tier and fifth-tier warships Elvin had been on before. They were the lowest-tier of the battleships.
Third-tier warships were 50 meters long and had specifications ranging from 64 cannons on two decks to 80 cannons on three decks. The fixed crew on board ranged from 490 to 720 people.
Second-tier warships were 59 meters long and were second only to first-tier warships. There were 90 to 98 cannons on three decks, and they were truly mobile fortresses on the sea. As long as first-tier warships didn't appear, they had absolute dominance over the sea!
As elites who had made great contributions, Elvin and the others were arranged to board the only second-tier warship, Frost White Sword!
Also on board was Paul, who was both an instructor and an officer of the first fleet, as well as Elvin's acquaintance, Ambrose of the Iron Wall Knight Regiment, and his squad.
To be honest, after being in the military for so long, this was the first time Elvin had participated in such a large-scale naval battle. Even though he had been on the battlefield for a long time, he was still slightly excited.
As a second-tier warship, Frost White Sword naturally became the flagship of this temporary fleet. The captain automatically became the commander of the fleet, and Paul, who had participated in the "Man Killer Fiend" incident and also had a naval background, was the vice commander.
The signal light flickered and signaled for the fleet to set sail. All the warships raised their anchors and raised their sails to meet the motionless "Specter Ship" in the distance.
The fleet, which had been trained for a long time, gradually formed a "human" formation with the second-tier warships as the core. The opening of the formation faced the "Specter Ship".
The side cannons opened up to prevent the "Specter Ship" from escaping, and at the same time, it was convenient to use the full firepower of the ship's cannons.
Clang … Clang … Clang …
"Gunner! Reload! "
"Yes, Sir!"
Although the sail warship's design and its own limitations determined that it could only use half of its firepower at the same time, the six warships still aimed a total of 200 cannons at the "Specter Ship" at this time.
The captains of the warships were extremely confident. With their current firepower, not to mention a "Specter Ship" that was not even a warship, even a giant sea monster would be mercilessly blasted into minced meat if it crashed into them.
"Hualala —"
The distance between the two slowly closed, and soon it was within the effective range of the ship's cannons.
There was no need to consider the accuracy. This distance was one kilometer!
The "Specter Ship" was still quietly floating on the water, neither advancing nor retreating. It was as if it completely ignored the powerful fleet that was like a black cloud pressing down on the city.
The fleet commander didn't care what the enemy thought. The signal light on the flagship flashed a few times, and the captains of the six warships simultaneously took out their pocket watches and began to count down.
"Eight, seven … two, one, fire!!!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! … "
200 cannons fired together, and smoke formed a thick cloud. The air exploded and tore apart, as if the entire sea was trembling in fear. The wisdom of humans had created a force comparable to a natural disaster!
.....
Facing the solid cannons that whistled like locusts, the "person" and the box standing on the bow of the ship didn't care at all.
"Heh, ignorant humans!
Always using the narrow vision of an ant to estimate the infinite power of God, and even vainly trying to stand shoulder to shoulder with God. Is it because the lesson you learned and the pain you experienced is far from enough?! "
The aria that gave people goosebumps said.
"All those who ignore me, suppress me, and persecute me will personally experience the pain I once felt!"
The deep male voice that overlapped like an echo said.
And in front of them, the wooden bow of the ship made up of three twisted human heads and spines suddenly shone with a green light!
"Boom … Boom … Boom … Boom …"
The dense cannons formed a real "barrage" that surrounded the "ghost ship" and smashed down. At this time, the seawater was shattered, and a large fog was raised in the vision of the navy.
"How is it, is it done?"
"How can anyone escape from this level of attack? Even the 'ghost ship' can't do it. "
"I say, we are making a big deal out of nothing. Those cannons are all money!"
The fog hadn't dissipated yet, and many of the soldiers on the warship who weren't in combat positions had already discussed the results of the battle, and without exception, they were very optimistic. No matter who it was, the shock of experiencing the "thousands of cannons" would be exactly the same as them.
Whoosh —
Soon, the night sea breeze blew away all the smoke and mist!
"What?!"
"Impossible!"
"Is this a lie?"
The unscathed "ghost ship" appeared in front of them again, as if what the cannons just hit was just an illusion. The huge difference made the navy officers and soldiers turn pale with fright.
But at this time, no one noticed that on the strange and terrifying bow of the "ghost ship," the eyes of a human head had been quietly closed.
The bow of the ship was like a sculpture of three male heads. Each head had a pair of green eyes, but their expressions were different. One was sadness, one was pain, and one was resentment.
At this time, the head that had closed its eyes was the head that represented sadness.
Obviously, the ability to "turn invisible" to avoid the cannons was one of the abilities of this "bow statue." There were two other heads that didn't reveal their abilities, and they were also the reason why "Host" Wake Wales and the "Box of Dead Souls" were so fearless!
The concentrated fire of the fleet didn't work, and the counterattack followed.
"Ignorant ants who dare to obstruct the return of the true god, you will be destroyed by the power of the gods! Here, the divine punishment comes! "
[Military Witchcraft: Drowning Spring!]
The green eyes of the second head representing "Pain" suddenly widened!
