On the vast Black Sea, an ordinary-looking Level Four warship was running at high speed under the guidance of a huge shadow underwater.
"It's really on our side. This is simply a gift from God!"
"Thank you for the gift of the Eternal Fire!"
In the captain's room of the quasi-legendary warship, the Long-Snouted Mermaid, a group of officers were surrounding a large map table, their eyes firmly locked on a small red flag.
It was a prediction flag that had been planted before they left the port. There were two similar flags, which were the targets of the other two quasi-legendary warships.
Now that divination had been banned, and there was no radar or radio available, the Navy Tactical Data System had become their only choice.
In the naval tactical reform carried out by Admiral Fisher of Shilius, the concept of "Situation Map Central Battle" was introduced for the first time.
Every time the enemy fleet set sail, the spies in the port would report the intelligence obtained, including the size and purpose of the enemy, to their higher-ups at the fastest speed, so that they could make the corresponding strategic adjustments.
A comprehensive analysis of a complete set of data system, including departure time, supplies, commander style, ocean currents, wind direction, speed, and so on, was carried out to determine that a ship or fleet was in a specific port or a specific sea area.
Relying on sufficient intelligence to predict the enemy's movements so that they could intercept and engage in battle at sea.
However, this kind of prediction that was completely different from "divination" relied heavily on luck. No matter how experienced an officer was, the success rate of this "prediction" was not too high.
Especially now that the intelligence network had been severely damaged after an inspection.
However.
The entire staff room racked their brains to choose the three sea areas that were most likely to have an alliance fleet. In the end, the Long-Snouted Mermaid hit the jackpot.
Thirty nautical miles ahead of them was clearly beyond the field of vision of the lookouts on both sides. A fleet with the Long-Snouted Mermaid flag had turned around and fled, and this warship was chasing after them without fail.
And the distance between the two was rapidly closing!
Because as long as they entered the hunting range of the quasi-legendary warship, for a conventional fleet that could only rely on natural conditions to sail, even with the advance warning of the reconnaissance network, it was impossible to escape the pursuit of the quasi-legendary warship.
Moreover, the Long-Snouted Mermaid had the (Spell-like Lateral Line Sensing).
[Effect: A natural ability of fish creatures. The lateral lines on both sides of the body can act like a radar. It can locate, sense the direction of water flow, sense water temperature, sense electric current …]
This kind of perception was far beyond human vision, and it was also one of the main reasons why the fleet at the front had misjudged the situation even after they had received the warning from the seabirds.
"The enemy clearly has some kind of over-the-horizon detection method. We should be more grateful to the captain's' Long-snouted Silver Shark 'From."
The navigator's final words received unanimous approval from everyone.
Captain Marz Harry of the Long-Snouted Shark owned a large sea monster, the Long-Snouted Silver Shark, also known as the Wizard Fish, from the Treasure Sea (there was no mother of sea monsters in the Treasure Sea. All sea monsters were wild sea monsters).
It had a long snout that looked like a witch's nose, and it had many innate spell-like abilities. Because of its size, its spells were extremely powerful.
Although it was only a large species, it was still an existence that stood at the top of the sea monsters' chain of contempt as it was a "master mage" among the fish!
It was also the kind of confidence that could make you regret even if you ran 39 meters first.
The most important thing was that there was no equal force to stop them so far. Obviously, the two quasi-legendary ships of the Tulip Family were not here. They were entangled with the other two quasi-legendary ships.
Major General Marz Harry could not help but smile at this time. Although he did not have obvious factional leanings and did not want to get involved in the struggle between the Royal Party and the Church Party, military achievements were loved by everyone.
"Release the terns and summon our fleet. Let's end everything today!"
"Yes, Sir Captain!"
Then, a black shadow about 60 meters long under the bottom of the ship gently swung its long tail.
The turbulence surging around the battle increased in speed again, and the whole ship rushed out quickly as if surfing the waves.
Whoosh —
In less than an hour, even without the help of the "lateral line sensing", the lookout's telescope saw the fleet in the distance.
Major General Marz led a group of officers to the open deck. He did not give the order to attack. Instead, he ordered the sea monster in the water.
"From, slow down and keep your distance!"
There was no rush to advance. For the Long-Snouted Shark, as long as the joint fleet was delayed, the greatest credit would be in the bag. There was no need to fight to the death with the Tulip Family.
The quasi-legendary ability of the Long-Snouted Shark came from the sea monster, and there was nothing special about it. Coupled with the hidden Great Knight in the fleet, if the quasi-legendary ship were to fight force with force, it was very likely that it would be the other way around.
As a navy captain with rich combat experience, Marz's tactical choice was undoubtedly correct.
However, this tactical choice annoyed someone.
"Motherf * cker, if you have the ability, follow me. If you have the guts, follow me!"
On the "Storm Horn" 40 kilometers away, Elvin, who was also watching the battle, was seriously dissatisfied with the cautious style of the Long-Snouted Shark.
He, who wanted to be the oriole behind, had already communicated with the captains in the fleet using the [Telepathic Message].
Since last year, all the battleships of the Tulip Family that left the mainland had been equipped with the "Song of the Siren". As long as this sea monster dared to approach within two kilometers, the combined fleet's "Song of the Siren" could directly overturn it.
He could also achieve the achievement of killing a quasi-legendary without any effort!
"Roddy, fire the cannon."
"Yes, sir."
Olivia, who had been on standby for a long time, decisively pulled the trigger of the electromagnetic cannon.
Bang!
Ring ring ring …
Suddenly, the alarm bell in Marz's heart rang on the quasi-legendary battleship in front.
It was a warning from the "Long-Snouted Shark" with extremely sharp senses.
The next moment, the battle instinct of a Great Knight also began to give a strong warning. After becoming a Tier 3 Great Knight, there was almost no possibility of being ambushed.
Whoosh!
With a gust of wind, he suddenly turned around and looked behind him. There was nothing above the vast sea. After a breath, a sharp red light appeared at the end of the sea and the sky, silently growing rapidly like the rising sun.
A fatal sense of danger pricked his nerves like a steel needle.
He could not help but change his expression.
"If I'm hit … I'll die!"
At the critical moment.
Whoosh …
A tall and heavy transparent ring of water surrounding the entire battleship suddenly rose and then rotated at high speed.
The next moment, a conical bullet the length of a palm wrapped in bright red smoke shot into the water ring from one side. When it was shot out again, it had already flown to an unknown place.
[Spell-like Bubble Ring]
"Water Elemental Shield?"
Forty kilometers away, Olivia raised her head in surprise from her shooting position.
It was not easy to meet an opponent worthy of using the electromagnetic cannon. She did not expect that this weapon, which could be used to dominate the era, would be broken so easily.
Perhaps the bullet had a strong destructive power in front, but when the water ring rotated at high speed, it gave the bullet a huge force from the side in a very short time, causing it to deviate from its flight path.
It was like using four ounces to deflect a thousand catties. The direction of deflection and the direction of attack were actually perpendicular.
This armor technology was almost like a fantasy in the science and technology world, but in the world of witchcraft, it was very common. At least, most water elemental shields were formed by this kind of high-speed water flow.
It was obviously impossible to dream of using a cutting-edge weapon to dominate the Sorcerers World.
"As expected of a quasi-legendary. No one is a simple character …"
After two failed set-up attacks, Elvin, who was standing beside Olivia, also realized the impracticality of his strategy.
At first, he thought that even after the upgrade, his Storm Horn would still be able to join the battle line, and he would be able to easily crush the weak.
It was only after he received the commander's orders that he understood that the main battle line of battleships was derived from the 'line up and shoot' tactic. Its essence was to concentrate the firepower of the smoothbore cannons at the front to make up for the lack of accuracy and range.
However, a quasi-legendary battleship was at least at the level of modern rifles. If soldiers armed with modern rifles were to use line up and shoot to kill, it would be absurd.
One had to be as magnanimous as one wanted to eat, especially when facing the tyrannical strength of the strongest nation like the Shilius. No matter how powerful one was, there would always be opponents of the same level waiting for them.
Just like now, as a frontline combatant, his rank had reached the standard, and the military's intelligence had been disclosed to Elvin.
The current situation was three against three. The two sides of the battle were:
On the alliance's side: Storm Horn, Northern Cold Wind, Five Masts Peak.
Corresponding to Shilius: the Long-Snouted Shark, the Red Maple, and the Flamingo.
Other than the Red Maple, which Elvin already knew a little about.
The Flamingo's side cannons had all undergone the priest's [Extraordinary Weapon Blessing]. When it fired solid bullets, it actually fired scorching bullets, and its effective range was increased to two kilometers.
With all its attack points added, ordinary battleships had almost no chance of fighting back.
As for the Longsnouted Shark, which was already in front of them, other than knowing that it had a large sea monster, the Longsnouted Shark, there was no precise information about the specific types of spells it had mastered.
Therefore, Elvin did not know that if they had not coincidentally activated [White Shark Cruise] and been mistaken for one of their kind by the Longsnouted Shark, the Storm Horn would have long been discovered by the Longsnouted Shark.
"It's a pity that they didn't give me the chance to show my divinity in front of people like 'heroes always appear at the last moment'. Come, let's go! "
Elvin waved his hand forcefully.
The Storm Horn immediately accelerated and rushed toward the Longsnouted Shark, which had already abandoned the alliance's fleet and stopped in place as if it was facing a great enemy.
At this moment.
When the alliance's fleet activated its mobile mode again and played hide-and-seek with Shilius's regular invincible fleet.
The sea had become a stage for Quasi-Legendary battleships. A total of six Quasi-Legendary battleships of the Tulip Alliance and Shilius were fighting in pairs.
On the route between the northern part of the sea and the Treasure Sea, the Red Maple and the Northern Cold Wind, which were good at speed, turned into two shadows, one red and one blue, on the sea as fast as lightning.
Close to the distant sea, the Five Masts Peak, which was good at defense, and the Flamingo, which was good at offense, were engaged in a battle of spears and shields.
And far away in the New Continent's Port Hatrapha.
The aggressive "bandit suppression team" had finally arrived!
