Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 424: The quasi-legendary battleship “Storm Horn” (4,200 characters)
rush rush...
The waves were split by the pointed bow, and then regrouped at the stern. The "Cape Storm", which had been completely outfitted, finally set sail again.
Although from the outside, there is almost no change in this Tier 4 ship.
But only the crew who served on this ship deeply understood that even without the temporarily untested portrait of the ship, this battleship is completely different from the past!
Following Aiwen’s battle of cutting a Tier 3 totem **** and bringing back the opponent’s body, after detonating like a bomb among the top ranks of the garrison, his title of brigadier general has been completely confirmed.
is no longer the so-called "navy star" of the new generation of navy.
is a senior army officer in the kingdom who has both military exploits and strength, and can justify himself on an equal footing with most of them! Also a member of the ruling class of this country!
Besides, he is valued by the crown prince and even the queen, with a special mission, and the limelight has a bright future.
It is almost foreseeable that when His Royal Highness Livina succeeds to the throne, this young brigadier general will surely become one of the high-level forces in the future kingdom’s navy.
Even many of the old foxes who have daughters and nieces at home have begun to wonder how they can find a way to get closer to each other.
So.
When Ivan proposed to replace the shipboard artillery for the ship "Cape Storm", the garrison leaders headed by Lieutenant Gustav directly agreed without hesitation.
and every department has a green light all the way during the execution of the order, unimpeded.
Although the people in the middle level may not have actually sailed, they are all skilled at seeing the wind. Even if there are a large number of heavy artillery that can only be equipped by third-tier ships, they are ready for the first time.
At this time, in terms of hardware.
was originally a Tier 4 battleship. The ship-borne artillery of the "Cape Storm" had a total of 18 24-pounders, 20 12-pounders, 10 9-pounders, and two 6-pounders.
has now been updated. After the second outfitting, there were 18 32-pounders, 20 18-pounders, 10 12-pounders, and two 6-pounders.
The total projected mass has surged from 774 pounds to 1,268 pounds. It has reached 70 of the total projected mass of the 74-gun third-tier ship. The overall firepower has undergone a qualitative change.
And this level did not reach the strength limit of the steel ribbed wooden shell warship, still has sufficient surplus load.
In fact, for a wizard, the sails of this warship can also be enchanted accordingly. However, the sail of canvas material is a kind of wearable goods, and the cost-effectiveness of enchanting is not high.
Unless you completely use a certain extraordinary material, such as the sea monster skin that can be used, it is permanently enchanted and cured.
However, that may not be possible until you really build your own legendary battleship.
was riding the renewed "Storm Horn".
After the initial excitement period, Milan looked at the vast sea and felt that doing sea trials against the air was really soulless.
"Since we are going to conduct sea trials, should we find a test target?"
"Don't worry, isn't the goal here?"
Aiwen just finished speaking.
Fluttering--
The Herald Beth, who was moving with the ship, has flown onto the bottom girder of the mainmast.
"Report to the commander that a pirate ship not owned by us was found 25 nautical miles away at three o'clock!"
has a reconnaissance network covering almost the entire Golden Sea, and there is almost nothing that can be hidden from Beth's eyes and ears.
and after becoming an apprentice as a wizard, as the owl's witchcraft ability and spiritual power improved, its ability to process information has also been greatly enhanced.
"Command, full rudder to the right, go forward at full speed!"
"Yes, full rudder right!"
Now "Storm Horn" has replaced a captain named Thomas, who is thirty-three years old when he is rich and experienced.
repeated the captain’s command aloud, and Thomas felt that his blood had almost started to burn when he could pilot such a battleship in his lifetime.
slap——
At the same time, Ivan has snapped his fingers softly.
[Portrait of Ship · Cape of the Storm] A sea-blue halo exploded, spreading to the entire battleship in an instant.
rush rush...
Immediately afterwards, amid a pleasant sound of waves, a translucent film of water rose from the bottom of the boat and spread to a position close to the deck. The white waves suddenly agitated after the stern also instantly turned into the shape of a fish tail.
is like a huge white shark made of water. It gently lifted the "Storm Horn" with its back, and swung its giant tail against the surface of the water.
Ability: [Baby shark cruise].
The great white shark is also known as the white shark. The mako shark that belongs to it is the fastest swimming shark in the sea. Even an ordinary individual can reach a speed of 56 km/h, which is 30 knots!
"Silver Cruising", although it is impossible for the huge "Cape Storm" to directly obtain the speed, it can also attach a streamlined water film outside the hull to change the aspect ratio of the battleship in a disguised form. , Stirring the water flow provides additional power.
makes the "Storm Horn" reach the extreme speed of 20-22 knots in a short time!
And because of the racial characteristics of creatures like great white sharks that never stop swimming, it can reach a speed of 6 knots even in low-power sailing that can be maintained all-weather.
Compared with the "Monsoon Goddess", you don't need to look at God's face at all. This is the real boating without oars, but with waves...in the waves.
now.
Ivan’s two strongest and fastest battleships, the heavy cruiser "Venus" is the representative of pinnacle shipbuilding technology, and the fourth-tier battleship "Stormhorn" is the condensation of extraordinary abilities.
......
"Cheers! Celebrate our looted wealth ranking first in the group."
"Cheers! Congratulations to the captain, you have done a great job for the pirate king, and you will soon be promoted to deputy captain."
"Cheers! Although there are five or six deputy heads, at least one general will be named if the nation can be successfully established in the future! "Executive Knife" General Kidd!"
A grand celebration party is going on on the pirate ship, and barrels of rum are moved out and piled on the deck. That is the reward of the pirate king for their outstanding performance during this time.
All the pirates are indulging in drinking, for the reward of the pirate king, and for accepting the bright future of the Kingdom of Hilius!
The first black-clothed middle-aged man who looks like a bird of prey, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, stood up with a wine glass and promised his pirate officials:
"Hahaha, no matter where I Kidd sits, I will never forget my brothers! Today everyone has a good drink and a toast!"
"Long live the captain!"
"..."
Suddenly, Kidd, who had drunk a lot but was still sober, saw a small spot suddenly appearing on the sea in the distance, and then it quickly grew bigger.
"Hey, what is that? So fast!"
Clang! clang! clang! ...
At the same time, on the observation deck of the mast, the same watchman holding a bottle of rum, also struggling to sound the alarm.
The crew members who had drunk a lot reacted, and when they speeded up to escape, it was already too late.
Actually, there is no difference whether you drink or not...
"Cape Storm" sailed at full speed, and it took only over an hour to circle the black-sail pirate ship within the range of its own artillery.
"No warning, direct attack, the gunner prepares!"
"All guns, solid bullets, reload!"
Under the guidance of artillery expert Boris, "Cape Storm" already has an extremely skilled artillery team, no less inferior to any elite navy.
"Fire!"
Boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! ...
In the orange-red cannon flames, the searing shells with a total mass of 639 pounds on one side are already like migratory locusts, whizzing towards the pirate ship that had already turned its bow but could not escape at all.
[Artillery Command Knife · Artillery Artillery]: It can display 200% of the range, accuracy and power of shipborne artillery.
Even if compared with an ordinary battleship, cruisers and pirate ships below Tier 4 will only be as weak as ordinary boxing enthusiasts facing heavyweight boxers. At this time, the "Storm Horn" is A knight armed with a steel sword and riding a war horse!
gave them not "weakness", but "despair"!
was just a volley of fire. This powerful three-masted pirate ship has been riddled with holes and wailing.
The pirates on the ship have been directly beaten by this wave of justice, and the hearts of a few survivors are constantly echoing with the soul torture of "Who am I" and "Where am I".
"Order, turn the bow of the ship and rush for me!"
"Yes! Your Captain!"
With the cooperation of the sail leader Vader and the helmsman Thomas, the "Cape Storm" made a very small arc on the sea, and then pointed the bow of the pirate ship that had lost its power.
shows the excellent maneuverability of this warship.
slap——
after a snap of his fingers.
[Portrait of the Ship Head·Cape Storm] blasted the second sea-blue halo.
huhuhu...
The roaring whirlwind accumulates and gathers in front of "Storm Horn", close to the surface of the water, which is the position near the waterline of the normal ship.
then slowly converged into a collision angle composed of cyclones and rapids, and at the same time formed a whistling cyclone barrier around the hull, and the sails were immediately full.
Ability: [Unicorn Shark].
In the harsh hum, the entire battleship seemed to be against a huge drill bit, accelerating again.
Then with irresistible power, he crashed through the hull of the pirate ship from near the waterline, and then easily tore the entire pirate ship in half.
boom——! ! !
As long as it is within two meters of the collision angle, both the ship’s plank and the human body are easily shattered by the force of the whirlwind and rapids, even the hard iron cannon is lifted to hundreds of meters after being twisted and deformed. outside.
嘭嘭嘭...
fell into the sea.
When the "Cape Storm" passed between the two incomplete pirate halves, there were no living people on that ship.
This is the strongest single attack skill, and it is also one of the remaining powers from the totem **** Ovig.
With the high-speed advancing warship, almost no wooden hull can resist.
In other words, even if it is a first-class ship with a hull more than one meter in front of "Cape Storm", there will be no exceptions in the ending.
However, the price is not cheap.
After one activation, the cooling of this ability often reaches half a month, because it mainly relies on the remaining power of Ovig, during this period, even if the external gems are replaced, it cannot be restarted.
woo woo...
The whirlwind is whimpering.
"Storm Horn" continued forward until the wreckage behind him no longer saw the shadow. All the crew members were also shocked by the power of the head of the ship, and they couldn't recover for a long time.
After a while.
Alvin, who was also a little absent, remembered to take the initiative to turn off this ability, and coughed gently to cover up his excitement:
"Ahem, by the way, do you see which pirate group it is?"
The officers behind him also recovered.
"That ship seems to be under the'Oath Bearer' Bradley."
"Oh, then it doesn't matter. However, the days when you take off your military uniforms to grab merchant ships and put on military uniforms to fight pirates... I feel really good!"
The officers on the ship nodded in succession, agreeing.
"Not bad! Not bad!."
And, in the future, as long as you make sure you are standing on the "Storm Horn" when fighting, then you can prepare for the fruits of victory easily and happily.
Although it’s an abusive dish, there is no suspense, but it’s refreshing enough!
The last conventional ability of even the head of the ship has not been used, and it has already solved a three-masted pirate ship that is definitely not the weak among pirates and is almost equivalent to a fifth-tier ship.
Through this actual sea trial, it is sufficient to verify the prowess of the ship and the strength of the "Cape Storm".
Because of the double authority of the sea shark Ovegg wind and water, three abilities were finally solidified on the bow image. [Sailfish Cruise], [Stone Shark] and [Sailfish Aura], which can only be activated at the same time A sort of.
The ability that was not able to be used in the end was the [Silver Aura].
Effect: 20% increase in all attributes of shark species, 30 minutes per day, effective within 100 meters.
Perhaps, it's just a joke gift for others.
But for the crew of Irwin’s crew who are equipped with "activated shark skin", it is simply made in heaven.
As long as they put on "activated shark skin", plus this 20% increase ~ IndoMTL.com~ almost all the staff can reach the peak of traineeship and become a veritable melee invincible, which is already a strategic ability.
The most important thing is that it is effective under Tier 3, which means that even officers of the extraordinary level, wearing the shark skin of the demonized creature level, can still get the increase.
Therefore, in the future, there will only be one source of "activated animal skin" for the crew of "Stormhorn", and that is-shark!
The number of shark species recorded by humans alone exceeds 500. Even if it is limited to this one species, it is enough for Ivan to select carefully.
And on the day Ovig was beheaded, the two demonized sharks captured were also useful. It is gratifying.
"Switch the bow image!"
Click... Click...
During the rotation of the gears of the lifting device on the bow, the "Storm Angle" slowly lowered, and the "Monsoon Goddess" slowly rose.
The new bow image has many advantages, but it is better at short bursts. The two bows are used in rotation to complement each other, even with the quasi-legendary "Red Maple" that is the best at speed by Hilius.
, a solid hull with an iron ribbed wooden shell, powerful firepower, and [Marine Secret Treasure·Artillery Command Sword! 】
Now, "The Horn of Storm" is enough to crush any conventional warship, and it is fully qualified to be called a quasi-legendary warship!
So.
Standing on the stern, Ivan waved his right hand vigorously, facing the officers and soldiers on the ship looking forward to the glowing eyes, and said:
"Now, everyone can...cheer!"
"Long live the Horn of Storm!"
"Long live the Captain!"
"......."
The deck boiled instantly.
