Chapter 165

However, nautical charts can be further subdivided into general charts, ocean charts, offshore charts, coastal charts, bay charts and so on.

Each kind of nautical chart has different uses and different values. For example, this chart in Adrian's hand is just an offshore nautical chart, and the scope of marking is extremely limited, only including the routes of the "conch" patrol and some coastal cities.

Nevertheless, it is also treasured like a treasure by Adrian, who is used to eat as a seaman.

To be honest, the fishing town of Leopold and the garrison of the third fleet, Gabriel, are not far away from the chart. When Elvin started to join the army from there, it took only two days for him to take the Huanghu.

But from the beginning of joining the army until now, a year later, Elvin took advantage of the opportunity of overlapping tasks to return to his hometown.

Recalling all kinds of experiences in this year, I met uncle Geer again, fought sea monsters, killed pirates, died several times and even faced evil spirits, which is more wonderful than many people's life experience!

For a moment, Elvin was rather sad.

"Is this the usual cruise route of the conch?"

After all, this is Elvin's first cruise mission. If you don't know anything, ask Adrian directly. As a commander, pretending to understand is the most terrible thing.

"Not always, sir. According to the season, wind direction, business route adjustment, our cruise route will also change.

However, most of the time, it's just a walk. There are not many times in a year when Shanghai pirates swim in this coastal area.

As long as we appear, small pirates with only one broken fishing boat will take the initiative to escape, and there are very few cases that really need fighting. "

"OK, I know..."

crackle... Crackle...

but before Ivan finished, he was interrupted by a strange sound outside the captain's room.

"What's the matter?" Two men in the captain's room turned to look out of the side window at the same time.

By this time, some of the sailors on the deck were already shouting:

"it's flying fish! So many fish

Get out of the captain's room.

Elvin saw that the sea outside was already shining with silver. It was hard to tell whether it was a tide or a fish tide. Countless flying fish leaped out of the water, glided tens or even hundreds of meters on the surface of the water and fell back into the water.

Flying fish connected into a piece, "conch" this time is like driving in a silver sea.

Many flying fish even couldn't dodge, directly hit the ship or just landed on the deck, and were picked up by the sailors.

A flying fish at least as long as the palm of an adult has a body like a carp, a dark blue spine, and wide ventral fins, which are like translucent wings. Even if it landed on the deck, it was still full of vitality, with its tail bouncing vigorously to get back into the water.

Evan squinted slightly. In the view of another seabird, from the air, the scale of this wave of fish is really not small, at least for several kilometers. Even attracted many flying in the vicinity of the detection of seabirds who do not care about their investigation duties, also joined the ranks of predators.

It's just that I just focused on the chart and didn't get into the perspective of seabirds. Maybe Beth didn't think it's necessary to remind himself of this "feast" of seabirds. He didn't realize it until the flying fish was close at hand.

"Sir! It's unusual for flying fish to come out on a large scale. " Seeing that Ivan was silent, the seaman Adrian could not help but remind him.

"Level three combat readiness!"

Before he could go on speaking, Elvin had already breathed out his breath and issued the order of combat readiness.

Dangdangdang...

when the ship's alarm was sounded, all the crew members immediately alerted and ran to their respective posts. Even if there were flying fish at their feet, no one would pick them up.

Ivan nodded with satisfaction. Although it was only a class 6 ship, after all, it had been adrift on the sea for a long time and was always faced with all kinds of dangers. The military quality of the crew was still guaranteed.

He himself shook his cloak and went back to the command position with the best view of the poop.

When flying fish come out of the water, it means that there may be some kind of predator under the water. Look at the scale and fierce reaction of this group of flying fish. There is either a big guy or a large group of hunters under the water. In either case, we need to be careful with our own conch.

After all, the last time the "Silver Wing" was attacked by sea monsters on offshore routes, it is obvious that it is not only in dangerous waters that it will encounter danger.

Now my identity has changed. As the captain of a warship, shouldering the life of more than 100 people on board, I must not lose my vigilance.

It's a long time to finish all this. In fact, it's only half a minute.

Underwater predators have followed the fleeing fish in the line of sight of the conch.

"This is... Spear toothed fish?"This is the sea birds that live in the sea. They have a keen eye to see through the sea. With their vision, Elvin found this group of ferocious monsters earlier than everyone else.

It's a big fish with an average body length of more than 12 meters, bigger than the fierce killer whale!

Spear toothed fish, also known as spear gill toothed fish, is a unique magical creature in the Black Sea.

It's dark gray, with a long snake like trunk, a sharp head, a big mouth, four or five spear like spines extending backward from the edge of two gills, and protruding tusks in the mouth. You can see from the appearance that this is a very vicious guy.

They are ferocious and aggressive by nature, and have a wide range of recipes, ranging from large whales to flying fish. Even the ruler of the deep sea "sea monster", hungry it dares to go up to bite.

If Elvin were to describe it as a more familiar animal, it would probably be the honey badger.

And like wolves, they like to hunt in groups. The group in Elvin's field of vision is composed of five spear toothed fish, three big and two small.

It's really hard to predict the law of action of demonized creatures when hunting, and the "conch" is on their way, and Elvin can't judge whether there will be conflicts.

Be prepared.

"Second level combat readiness! Gunner, port gun, stand by! Load the grape balls

"Yes, sir!"

The order was given, and the Gunners on the left side of the main deck quickly filled the muzzle with small bags of pellets.

Grape bomb is one of many kinds of shells. After being launched, it will disperse to form a barrage and kill the enemy in a large area. Although the range is very close, it is the best way to deal with this slender and flexible marine beast.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

They rush close to the surface of the water at a high speed, and their blade like dorsal fins stand up high, cutting through the sea and pulling out five snow-white waterlines. The distance is still far away, ears seem to have heard the extremely sharp cutting sound.

Yi.. Yi.. Yi..

due to the arrival of several "overlord" in this sea area, the sea creatures, large and small, are hiding or running away, but they have never jumped out of the water like flying fish and have not been found by the sailors.

Because of the powerful strength and ferocious temperament of demonized creatures, they treat all marine creatures as if they have nothing to hide. Naturally, they will not take a sea boat in their eyes.

No change in the direction of the meaning, in the leader of the largest fish monster led, straight hit over.

Elvin couldn't bet on whether the hull of the conch was harder or the head of the spear toothed fish was harder, so he decisively ordered to fire:

"the target is in front of the sea, 70 meters away! Prepare to fire

Boom! Boom! Boom! ...

ten shipborne guns on the left side of the ship fire at the same time, the orange red flame lights up the sea, and the dense grape shells turn into a large black curtain, covering all the space on the side instantly.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.

Despite the weakening of the sea water, they burst close to the sea after all. After the grape bullet penetrated the sea with the huge kinetic energy of gunpowder, it still fell on them, chipped through the scales and drilled into the flesh.

murmur.

is so insolent that very few marine monsters who encounter this kind of experience are attacked by the head, and they are swinging the long tail under the water to avoid it. In an instant, only the froth and silk scarlet are left behind.

"It worked!"

"Don't be careless, pay attention to the underwater!"

After being baptized by the knowledge of "shadow library", Elvin is now well-known. After he really understands the characteristics of the spear toothed fish, he also has a headache about this kind of creature with similar character as brother Pingtou.

Moreover, as the lowest level in the six class warship sequence, the weapon ration is not much higher than that of a transport ship, especially the alchemy bomb specially used to deal with underwater targets.

If these big guys hide under the water and attack all the time, it will really make people scratch their heads.

Bang -

Bang -

sure enough, recklessness does not mean stupidity. Soon there were two low muffled sounds from the bottom of the water, and the ship's hull shook twice.
