Silent Crown Chapter 640: escort
In the endless ocean, there is only the sound of distant tides.
In the mist, there is silence.
The mighty fleet is hidden in the mist, moving forward silently.
After all the members cut off contact with the outside world and entered a state of silence, they maintained their extreme distance in the fog and communicated with each other only through the most primitive light language.
The thick fog obscured everything, and the slight noise generated by the minimum engine operation was hidden in the chaotic sound of the black area, and it quietly moved towards the hometown like a ghost.
The Royal Fleet, on the bridge leading the ship in the forefront, Servin sat on the command seat, silently looking at the chart.
"Sir, we have already left the border." The navigator reported: "In ten minutes, we will leave the black zone and approach the market."
"Prepare to release stealth."
Selvin nodded.
A crisp reminder came from the channel: "Sir, I have received a communication from Anglu, the identification band of the Privy Council."
Soon, the voice of the Secretary of the Navy rang out from it: "Viscount Selvin, this operation is related to the fortune of the country. In the future, the maritime hegemony of the nations must not be relaxed in this battle."
"Understood." Selvin gave a military salute, "It must not be what your Majesty expected."
"Very good." The Secretary of the Navy said: "Four hours ago, His Royal Highness and the Royal Orchestra had left the port with the second batch of warships and were rushing to meet you.
All military affairs are still under your control, and your Highness will be responsible for your decisions. "
The Secretary of the Navy's words were very tactful, and Servin would take charge of military affairs at that time, but the final decision must be approved by Prince Avalon. Regarding this, Servin had no objection, he was originally one of the enthusiastic supporters of the Prince of Avalon.
Furthermore, Prince Avalon came on behalf of the royal family this time. As Vice-Prince Angelu, he should supervise the Royal Fleet instead of the Queen.
What's more... The current Royal Fleet lacks heavyweight warships like the Nomad Mountain, which is still a little vain.
After the Battle of Leviathan, the Royal Fleet has made great contributions, but the sacrifices behind this glory are by no means an understatement.
In the process of maintaining the country and the subsequent eradication of the monsters, a large number of warships were damaged in battle, and more ships were difficult to leave the port due to lack of maintenance and repairs. It is estimated that it will take two years to repair all of them. A large part of them has been included in the retired list. After a comparison of cost performance, the kingdom decided to build new ships to replace them and continue to serve.
Although the true core layer, the twelve legendary warships that can be used as the decisive force, are not much damaged, but the formation of the fleet does not only require the core. It also requires a large number of light long ships, clippers, and even armed merchant ships. Make up for shortcomings.
The ability to organize a fleet in a short period of time this time is about to squeeze the naval department completely, piece together everything, and take shape. But without actual combat drills, it is hard to believe its combat strength.
In order to seize the opportunity, Servin took the six legendary warships and a small number of clippers to set out first.
The subsequent fleet will be divided into two batches, coming one after another.
Among them, because of waiting for the completion of the assembly of the "Nomad Mountain" and facilitating the refereeing process, foreign aid temporarily accepted the employment of Anglu. Ye Qingxuan could only wait until the second batch to come and support.
At that time, a large number of armed merchant ships will fill the weak state of the Royal Fleet, making this fleet formally capable of fighting any enemy head-on.
Selvin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news of Ye Qingxuan's arrival.
After routinely reporting on military affairs, Servin cut off the communication and checked the chart again, but soon he noticed something wrong.
"Navigator, how long have we been out of the black zone?"
"Fifteen minutes."
The navigator replied: "There is still a six-hour voyage from the sea where Guixu is located."
Selvin frowned: "Since I have left the black zone, why is the fog still so thick? I convey my order to the musicians on the boat to detect the surrounding situation and hope that nothing will happen."
Fog at sea is very common, especially at the edge of the black zone.
It’s not uncommon for the Selvin family to serve in the Royal Fleet for generations, but for the sake of safety, it is better to send a few musicians and a Clipper to detect.
Also, he was fed up with this fog.
Beside the navigator, the closed musician on the iron chair quickly opened his eyes and looked at a chaotic ether ball: "Sir, there is still too much noise in the red zone, and nothing has been found.
The reasons that may have happened so far have caused some changes in the red zone. Leviathan's call for recovery has not been over long, and there may be some sea monsters that have not entered dormancy. "
"Notify the fleet that all warships are on alert and ready for battle."
Soon, following Selvin's command, the sound of the engine warming up sounded in the red zone, sparking waves of ripples and spreading to all directions. In the rush, the personnel of the various ministries are in place...
At this moment, the etheric fluctuations in the distance suddenly disappeared.
Leaving the deck, the apocalyptic musicians who lifted off to explore went into silence, all feeling a bit of a bad state. Soon, a stern roar sounded. In the deepest part of the mist, the missing musician burst into his heart, setting off a terrifying flame and ethereal turbulence.
The turbulence swept through, washed away in the fog, and made the fog turbulent.
The flames are fleeting, but they illuminate the indistinct shadows around them.
Selvin was stunned. He bounced from his chair. Before he spoke, the navigator had already pressed the alarm button. A piercing, sharp sound rang from the ship. Soon, the red dangerous light Light up from above each battleship.
Immediately afterwards, one after another huge ether fluctuations appeared on the battleship's observation sphere.
That is the ether engine of the battleship.
In the depths of the original silent mist, a vague outline emerged from a hideous shadow. It is a battleship, dozens of battleships, the battleship is hidden in the mist, as if it merges with the mist. Through the thinner fog, you can faintly see more traces of ships behind.
I don't know when, the Royal Fleet... has already been surrounded!
There was a dead silence on the Sovereign.
"Burgundy's Phantom Fleet?"
Selvin's face was green: "How do they know we are here?"
In order to hide their tracks, all the crew sailed silently, and even Avalon didn't know where the fleet was, especially in the red zone.
It's like hiding in a dark forest, without fire, how did those **** Burgundians surround themselves?
Moreover, those guys... are they really ready for war between the two countries?
At this moment, above the bridge, a red flame suddenly lit up under the skin of the second officer, and the whole person seemed to be burning, did he rush towards Servin, his body swelled rapidly:
"Angel has rebelled against God's way and will surely be spurned in **** and will eat the bitter fruit!"
Boom!
The next moment a cold sword light emerged from the cabin, slashing vertically and horizontally, smashing the ball-like attacker, and then, the invisible wind gathered from all sides and turned into a cage, blocking the fire. Forcibly annihilated.
In the end, only the ashes fell silently to the ground.
Selvin's face was blue.
Okay, now I know how the enemy discovered me.
He turned his head, looked at the cold iron armor emerging from the air beside him, and thanked the armored knight: "Master Gerant, thank you for your help."
"Party matters."
The knight of the round table took the sword into its sheath, and under the armor, the middle-aged knight made a voice: "It's up to you next."
Soon, loss reports were sent from all ships. Not only were the rapes hidden on the flagship Sovereign, but also the same happened on two ships. Fortunately, they were all put out the fastest. The two captains suffered only minor injuries.
The Burgundians have probably been planning for a long time.
Otherwise, it is impossible to have such an amazing effect in such a short period of time.
Unexpectedly, the Burgundian Phantom Fleet did not take advantage of the situation to attack. Instead, it maintained its original formation. It only surrounded the Anglo Royal Fleet. All the main guns were aimed at them, but they did not. Launch a surprise attack.
Instead, there was a communication coming from outside.
The correspondent looked at Servin, who nodded: "Come in."
Soon, an unfamiliar indifferent voice sounded from the bridge.
"This is the Phantom Fleet of the Kingdom of Burgundy."
He paused, then said:
"—Next, we will **** your country’s fleet. For the sake of bilateral relations and the safety of both parties, please refrain from any misleading measures."
Communication ends.
Selvin's face was blue and he clenched his fists.
Convoy?
Where is this escort!
This is a captive!
"Commissioning fleet--"
Selvin's eyes burned red with anger~IndoMTL.com~ raised his palm, and he was about to issue an order to attack all his staff, and the piercing alarm sounded again. Immediately afterwards, there were countless broken sounds overlapping each other.
It was a loud noise when ice and iron rubbed.
Rumble like a sea tide.
The mist was torn apart, and the soaring chill spread from the bottom of the sea, and countless thin ice ridges grew out of the waves, separating their branches like trees.
Countless ice crystals seem to lean out of the warehouse. After freezing and expanding, they spread out in all directions, and the crisp sounds gathered together, and the roar sounded in everyone's ears.
In an instant, the entire surface of the sea was completely frozen.
Encircled by the Phantom Fleet, the sea where the Royal Fleet is located has instantly frozen into an ice field with numerous sharp ice crystals erected.
The fleet is frozen like a bug in amber.
I could only see countless sharp ice crystals pointing towards the sky.
Only between my fingers, the mighty movement hidden in the roar has finished freezing. The terrifying etheric fluctuations rise from the flagship of the Phantom Fleet, and they are no longer hidden and exposed.
It is hard to imagine that a musician can instantly freeze such a huge ocean, and he is still in the chaotic red zone.
As if the gods took the flames away from the earth, leaving behind the ancient cold and deep north wind.
"The Fifth...The Fifth Symphonic Poem."
On the bridge of the Sovereign Power, with the military musicians watching the cracks appearing on the etheric sphere, his face was pale, and he trembled and said: "Sir, it's a saint... saint Schubert!"
For an instant, the entire Royal Fleet fell into dead silence.
A saint?
Why did a saint appear on the battleship of Burgundy?
