Chapter 27: Fog Sea Battle
"It's getting foggy?"
Prince Hans stood on the deck and looked around, and said in a deep voice, "Why is there still fog in this weather? Your Excellency Kenrodo! Please drive away the fog!"
Standing next to Prince Hans was an old man in a long robe. He nodded and said, "Okay. This fog is really weird."
An aura of magic emerged.
As the old man in front of him cast a spell, not to mention a gust of wind blowing away the fog on the sea surface, but soon a new fog appeared, blocking their vision, but it didn't seem as thick as it was at first. The old man standing next to Prince Hans obviously frowned, and raised his hand to cast another spell. It seemed that he was a high-level warlock, so he didn't need to memorize spells in advance. Under normal circumstances, wizards rarely memorize such spells.
"This fog is not formed naturally!"
The high-ranking warlock named Kenrodo had a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that something is summoning the mist. Your Royal Highness! We may have encountered some sea monster!"
Normal thick fog would not appear on the sea so strangely, it was only in this area.
There is no geographical environment that forms fog nearby, so according to the speculation of the high-level warlock in front of him, the biggest possibility is that there is a sea monster that can summon fog.
"Damn it!"
Prince Hans hammered the deck of the hull, and said slowly: "Why did a deep-sea monster suddenly come out here? Then it can be said that the battleship that disappeared yesterday and the Orion that disappeared today are all done by it?"
The high-level warlock nodded slightly, and said, "It's very possible. If it is really a sea monster attacking them, I'm afraid they are all in danger."
Prince Hans nodded with a gloomy expression, and said in a deep voice, "Can you kill it?"
The high-ranking warlock next to him pondered for a moment, then turned to the naval officer beside him. After asking a few words, he said, "Yes! The Vrykul pirates have some whaling cannons on their ship, and our ship also has some special equipment for dealing with large marine life. If we can find it, we should be able to kill it .”
A smile appeared on Prince Hans's face, and he said in a deep voice, "But how to find it out?"
"This is on the sea. If it hides at the bottom of the sea, we probably have nothing to do. Your Excellency Kenrodo! Please be sure to get rid of this sea monster, otherwise our battleship may be attacked again. It is very important for us if this happens. It's a huge blow to morale!"
The high-ranking warlock hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll give it a try."
A faint magical aura emerged.
Immediately, an eye-like thing appeared in front of him, and the situation around the fog gradually became clearer.
"found it!"
A look of excitement suddenly appeared on the face of the high-ranking warlock, and he said in a deep voice, "In front! It really is a deep-sea monster!"
A huge black shadow.
Through the spiritual light produced by the spell, other people present also saw a trace. It was a very huge black shadow, wandering on the bottom of the sea in front, probably much bigger than the largest blue whale, such a huge figure was a deep-sea monster without even thinking about it. After seeing this huge shadow, Prince Hans showed a smile on his face. But soon he became serious again, because such a monster is not so easy to deal with.
"Ready to fight!"
The admiral next to him quickly issued an order and shouted: "Mount the whaling gun, everyone is ready to fight!"
The fog ahead has thinned a bit.
With the command of the admiral. The fleet was spread out widely so that it would not be affected in the event of a battle. The fleet sailed forward in a fan shape. To deal with this kind of giant sea monster, the only way to deal tons of damage is to open up the space. Due to some unknown energy mutations in this world, it may be related to the energy radiation of the Arcane Empire, and some mutant creatures often appear in the ocean area. The most common of these is the giant octopus. So the navies of these southern island countries have experience in dealing with sea monsters.
The calm sea seems to be brewing some terrible storm.
The looming huge black shadow was locked by the sorcerer's spell, and even Prince Hans who was standing on the deck was a little nervous. After all, it was not easy to deal with such a monster in the sea.
"alarm!"
The scattered battleships in front suddenly let out an exclamation, and then someone shouted: "The enemy is found! It is Arendelle's navy! Prepare to fight! Prepare to fight!"
What? !
Prince Hans raised his head in surprise when he heard the words, and then saw a fleet with the Arendelle flag appearing in front of him. The number of the other party was obviously smaller than them. Only after getting closer did they find each other. After seeing so many warships from the southern island nation in front of him, Arendelle's fleet also seemed a little flustered, as if planning to turn the bow and retreat.
"Get rid of them!"
Prince Hans' expression became obviously excited, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about that sea monster for now! As long as we don't provoke it, it shouldn't dare to attack so many people."
"Order the battleship to advance at full speed! Let's destroy this Arendelle fleet!"
the other side.
A bearded general was also standing on top of a large warship. When the surrounding fog gradually thinned, his expression changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice, "Not good! It's the fleet of the southern island country!"
"Oops."
"We fell into their trap."
The flare that went up today is too obvious.
Even he, who was far away in Arendelle, saw it. Although he suspected that it might be a trap, he finally decided to lead the fleet to check the situation. In order to avoid being intercepted by the enemy, all he brought out this time were clippers. If it weren't for the weird fog, he should have seen the traces of the enemy from a long distance, but because of the fog blocking the line of sight, they got closer because of the distance. find each other. Therefore, the first reaction in his mind was to fall into the enemy's trap.
Rumble!
The roar of the cannon rang out.
The first warship to enter the range fired continuously, and the leading warship of the Vrykul pirates rushed over quickly, trying to board the enemy's deck. Only the fast ships of the pirates could catch up with them. Many of the fleets of the southern island countries were medium-sized warships with fierce firepower. However, Arendelle's fleet also reacted very quickly. Following the general's order, it immediately turned its bow and retreated, and it seemed that it had no intention of fighting them.
In fact, there is no ability to fight at all.
If warships want to increase their speed, they have to give up their firepower. Most fast ships have less than half of the artillery fire of medium-sized warships. For large warships like the dragon head warship, the firepower net can be equipped with hundreds of cannons, which can be said to be positive. In naval battles, even the Deathwhisperer may be destroyed. The warships sent by Arendelle only had twenty-four cannons with the strongest firepower. However, Arendelle also has their advantages, that is, Arendelle has a group of ice witches.
The fog became thicker.
The Ice Witch seemed to cast a spell to intensify the fog on the sea surface, so that fifty meters away was already gray.
A lot of artillery fire hit the sea, and Arendelle's fleet could only see a blurry phantom. Vrykul pirate monsters screamed and rushed into the fog. When the distance was extended to a hundred meters, the navy of the southern island country They couldn't even see their pirate ship clearly.
"Don't fire!"
A naval officer stopped the gunner from loading ammunition, and said with an ugly expression: "The group of idiots rushed up! It is easy to accidentally injure them by firing now!"
The field of vision in front of him is already very small.
The possibility of accidentally injuring friendly troops with such blind firing is too high, and it is also difficult to aim at the opponent unless the distance is shortened to a certain extent.
at the same time.
Just as the navy of the southern island country was about to annihilate this Arendelle fleet, a huge black shadow slowly rose from the dark seabed. Near this huge shadow, a ghost ship gradually floated up, and the ghosts of the undead, with hideous smiles on their faces, swam up bit by bit under the cover of mist.
The battle has just begun!
The unexpected appearance of the Arendelle fleet did not affect Sauron's plan.
