Chapter 81

From Gabriel, the base of the third fleet, to Newport, where the Royal Naval Academy is located, the total voyage is about 12 days.

Although faletis is only a small island country on the west coast of the mainland, the world is too vast. On the mainland, it's better. If you go to the open sea, even with the help of seasonal ocean currents, it's quite normal for you to fly for months at a time.

On the third day of Elvin's departure, there was a continuous rain in the overcast sky, and the sea breeze was gradually noisy, which soon made the ship's flag sound.

Fortunately, Elvin's supply ship has been sailing in the coastal waters, which is generally stable. It's too normal for the unpredictable weather at sea. Even the most experienced navigators can't accurately predict its change. On the premise of not affecting the navigation, the supply ship has no plan to stop and escape.

Maybe it's raining hard at this moment, and it's sunny at the next moment?

However.

The situation did not develop as they expected. In the middle of the voyage, the weather changes on the sea slowly had some bad omens.

Sobbing...

CLICK!

Boom - boom!

There's nothing on one side of the coastline, but the dark clouds are a little low, and the continuous rain doesn't mean to stop at all. But in the direction of the open sea, layers of dark clouds accompanied by lightning and thunder kept lowering. It seemed that the sky and the sea were connected together in the roaring wind and rain, and the ships kept bumping in the waves several meters high, almost thinking that the sea and the sky were hanging upside down.

This extreme phenomenon clearly indicates that a very strong storm has begun to brewing.

Bang -

"Sir, the situation at sea is deteriorating. I think we need to find a safe place to escape." The door of the captain's room was pushed open. The captain, who was dripping all over, wiped his face and asked for instructions from the captain sitting behind the table.

Ivan was visiting the captain's room when the captain came in.

The captain of the supply ship, edrin, is a major with the same rank as Elvin, but he is much older than Elvin, nearly 40 years old.

The long-term comfortable life on the supply ship made him less energetic as a soldier, more like a peaceful uncle next door than a navy. In the face of the captain's impolite behavior in front of the guests, he was not angry at all.

"My dear navigator, you have run this route hundreds of times. I trust you as much as I trust my hands.

Go ahead! Prove our professionalism to our guests and I'm sure you'll find a perfect haven for us. "

When they mentioned themselves in their conversation, Elvin gave them a polite smile. Although the weather was bad, he was not nervous. As the captain said, there are too many small individuals in front of nature at this time. It is enough to give the experienced sailors sufficient trust.

"Yes, sir." After saluting the two young principal officers in the captain's room, the captain turned and left.

Soon, with the commander's orders one by one.

The forward direction of the supply ship was slightly adjusted. On the premise of maintaining stability, the supply ship sailed as fast as possible toward an island with a good safe harbor a few nautical miles away.

Evan has been on many ships. He found that every captain and his crew have their own way of getting along.

For example, under the command of Uncle Geer, every crew member on the "Silver Wing" is like a part of a machine, simple and efficient. However, major Edlin boldly delegated power to allow professionals to give full play to their role.

Elvin has always had a captain's dream. Although he knows that this goal is still far away, it does not prevent him from absorbing the experience of other captains to enrich himself from now on.

"Sail down! Anchor! Go back to the cabin, except for those on duty. "

The chief navigator of the supply ship was very reliable indeed, and soon led the ship to the leeward side of the island, anchored, lowered the sails and anchored.

Crackling...

huhuhuhu -

the supply ship had just stopped, and the heavy cloud coming from the open sea was like a toppling mountain. The rain suddenly became stronger by several levels, and even made people have the illusion that even the waves were pressed down by the rain.

However, the abnormal weather is obviously not so simple, and the clouds and rainstorms together with other strange "things".

"Moo ho... Moo ho..."

that's... It's like the strange roar of some giant sea animal.

"What's that sound?"

After the ship had been stopped, the chief sailor, who was still in charge, could not rest like other crew members, so he went back to the captain's room. The sudden roar made three people in the room look up at the same time and look out of the window.

At this time, the strange roar became louder and louder. After listening to it, the sailor with gray hair had a dignified face: "this is not the movement that any marine creature I know can make."

"Is it... Sea monster?" The three looked at each other and thought of a disturbing answer.But as the captain of a supply ship, major Edlin did not have the expensive alchemy equipment "sea monster pointer", let alone the alchemy bomb that could kill sea monsters.

It can be said that if there is a sea monster, the supply ship has little resistance. Even captain Edlin, the highest combat power on board, is just an ordinary official knight. It's hard to say how much combat power is left.

Major edrin and his captain were a little ugly at this moment. They kept drawing an iron cross on their chest with their right hands and praying for the blessing of the goddess.

Elvin was not surprised.

The Iron Cross Church is the common belief of the tulip alliance. It worships the "goddess of kingship and navigation", one of the seven gods. The black iron cross with anchor point at the bottom is his holy emblem.

In faletis, at least 70% of the people are believers of this goddess. Therefore, if the word "goddess" is mentioned in public, it means "goddess of kingship and navigation".

Because of his clergy in the field of navigation, he had a great influence in the Royal Navy, sailors and fishermen. In the face of the harsh marine environment, the smaller the self is, the easier it is to rely on the gods.

Evan is not an atheist, but his reverence for the great existence does not affect his own action to find a way out. He must be prepared for the worst consequences!

The eyeground Mou light is tiny a flash, invisible wave moment transmits. Given the command, the two pintail swifts in the distance have already shot high into the sky like arrows, penetrating the storm and flying rapidly in the direction of the roar.

...

the strange roar came from far away than Elvin imagined.

At present, the maximum real-time detection radius of seabird Scouts is about 10 kilometers. Beyond this range, Elvin can no longer receive real-time images.

The two pintail petrels who received the order flew to the edge of the detection radius, and finally found the anomaly in the rough sea. Can you imagine how powerful it is to be able to spread the roar so far?

When Ivan cast his eyes on the sea through the pintail petrel's eyes, he was deeply shocked by the giant.

"My God, what is this?"

A huge sea monster, shaped like a whale, with a bony crustacean on its head and thousands of tentacles on its body, floats in the sea like an island.

Just by visual observation, its size has exceeded 2000 meters, which is much larger than that of the largest giant species among the small, large and giant sea monster species!

"This... Can't be the son of a sea god who is comparable to the fourth level of human beings? ! "a slight tremor rose from the depths of Elvin's bone marrow, which was the biological instinct in the face of the suppression of life situation.
