Ahon frowned as he pondered.
"You mean … to lure the Nagas to snatch the Ghostship? How can you be sure that they will come? "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "The key lies in my surface layout.
"Let's say that the Nagas learned of the drill plan I made in the military conference room through a spy … Then, from their point of view, after our military drill is completed and we familiarize ourselves with naval warfare, we will use the Ghostship as the vanguard to go deep into the sea and destroy all the Nagas' bases."
Ahon nodded.
Bai Xiaowen continued, "For the Nagas, the Nagas' bases in the Boinus Sea are absolutely not to be abandoned. According to the information I've gathered, the establishment of every underwater base requires a divine talisman bestowed by the Nagas' Great Sovereign in order to create a 'giant shield' that isolates the sea water … There are very few of these divine talismans.
"The Nagas must take action to avoid a destructive attack in two days.
"I happened to drive the Ghostship to this place far away from Chakarlo Port in the name of cannon practice. This gives the Nagas an opportunity — if they can take back the Ghostship, not only will the greatest threat on the battlefield be eliminated, it will also be a great contribution to the leaders of the Nagas in the Boinus Sea. "
Ahon understood and said, "This is an overt scheme. The Nagas have no choice but to take the risk unless they are willing to give up the three bases in the Boinus Sea."
Bai Xiaowen said, "If our field of vision is limited to the Boinus Sea, that is indeed the case. However, we still have to be prepared for the expansion of the war … "
…
The next day.
The continuous wind and rain finally stopped, and the long-awaited sun finally appeared in the sky that had always been covered with dark clouds. The sea breeze blew and the sun was warm. It was as comfortable as coming to a seaside resort on Earth.
Li Shuyi, Qiao Rui, and Cecilia were basking in the sun on the deck. It was a rare sunny day.
After more than a day of training, the dozen or so Camelot elite mages finally familiarized themselves with the trajectory and range of the magic crystal cannons. Their hit rate was about 50%, which was barely satisfactory. It must be noted that the guidance of spiritual power was also quite taxing on the mages. Seeing that the mages' faces were somewhat pale, Bai Xiaowen could only let them rest for the time being.
Once the hit rate was above 50%, it would be very difficult to increase it quickly.
The mages of the Kingdom of Camelo, on this rare day of rest, all chose to relax, fish, or get some sleep.
Bai Xiaowen was sitting on the crossbar of the Ghostship's mainsail. He leaned against the mast and looked at the sea in the distance, somewhat bored. However, his spiritual power was connected to the White Eagle from afar, so he could observe through the White Eagle's vision.
The Qiao Rui on the deck looked comfortable, but in fact, it was also searching the sea with its spiritual power. The combination of two Hero classes with high Spirit was like a combination of radar and sonar. They could detect possible enemy movements in advance.
"As of 12 noon, there are no signs of large ships approaching within 1500 meters of the ship. It's safe." This was the message sent by Qiao Rui through the team channel.
"There are no ships approaching the sea. It's safe …" Bai Xiaowen had just replied when the Bracelet of Misfortune on his left wrist suddenly felt a strange sensation.
Bai Xiaowen glanced sideways and saw that the human face pattern on the Bracelet of Misfortune had turned into panic!
Level 4 danger level!
Bai Xiaowen's eyes narrowed slightly. He quickly narrowed his spiritual power to a radius of 30 feet around him. After silently checking that there were no enemies, he sighed in relief.
In other planes, the Bracelet of Misfortune would only alert him of instantaneous danger. Therefore, Bai Xiaowen had developed a habit of silently checking his surroundings whenever there was a change in the human face's expression. This was to prevent assassin-type enemies from taking advantage of the situation.
Now that the Bracelet of Misfortune was in the Blacktide Plane, its ability to alert him of danger had been greatly enhanced. It could now alert him of dangers that would only occur in the future. This was also in line with the Prophecy Slate's ability to "foresee the future."
After confirming that there was no danger around, Bai Xiaowen divided his spiritual power and probed into the Bracelet of Misfortune.
An illusion appeared. On the surface of the sea, where the sun was setting, there were suddenly serpent-men ghost ships around the Ghostship! Assault boats cut through the waves as countless serpent-men and murloc slave warriors charged towards the deserted island …
"Are they attacking at dusk?"
Bai Xiaowen heaved a sigh and jumped down from the mast.
"There's no need to investigate anymore," Bai Xiaowen said. "Let the mages have a good night's sleep and replenish their spiritual power. The real battle will be … Well, in short, the next time light and dark alternate, everyone will prepare for battle. "
Bai Xiaowen said this to his teammates. He almost blurted out the future scene revealed by the Bracelet of Misfortune, forgetting the principle of "metaphor" of the prophet. Fortunately, he reacted quickly.
Before Qiao Rui and Cecilia could react, Li Shuyi raised his hand and said, "I get it! The serpent-men's invasion is in the evening, right? "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and nodded. Since Li Shuyi had deciphered the metaphor, there was nothing to worry about. Li Shuyi could decipher it so quickly because he had seen a similar metaphor in the invitation letter to the abyss when he was in the Blacktide Plane. Naturally, he understood it with just a hint.
A few mages who were fishing next to him had skeptical expressions on their faces. They received the order to rest and wait for battle, so they returned to their cabins to rest. They also spread Bai Xiaowen's "little prophecy".
Bai Xiaowen did not stop them from spreading the news. These elite mages were not allowed to leave the ship as they pleased. Naturally, they could not send messages to the outside world to warn the serpent-men. As for the use of magical tools to send messages, Bai Xiaowen had already prepared for it. He could use this opportunity to catch a few traitors …
Of course, Bai Xiaowen did not want a traitor to appear in the mages' team. These mages were more important members of his team. They were the cannoneers who helped him in the Blacktide Plane. It was best if the team was pure.
This little prophecy could be considered as a way for Bai Xiaowen to gain prestige in front of his mages.
Under Bai Xiaowen's control, the white eagle Yi Yi flew quickly towards the sea south of Port Chakarlo.
…
South of Port Chakarlo.
The warships of the allied forces were conducting a drill.
Black gunpowder was ignited and the cannons roared. Flintlocks and sailor's scimitars were brandished. The boarding battle was extremely intense. The marines who were under the spell of underwater breathing were fighting under the sea, trying their best to adapt to the new battle environment …
Ahon stood on the command platform with his arms crossed.
"A day of training seems to have some effect. The marines' movements under the sea have become much smoother, "said Harold, the leader of the knights of the Kingdom of Altoria.
Ahon nodded slightly and did not say anything. He only looked at the sky.
Not far away in the clouds, a white dot appeared and quickly grew bigger. Accompanied by the cry of an eagle, Yi Yi Yi flew to the top of the command platform and flapped its wings.
