Black sails

Chapter 323 CCCXXII. Disaster

Through Ben's information, Li Site learned that Lin Ge owned a huge ship, which was one of his pillars of domination in the East China Sea.

The logbook is absolutely impossible to make mistakes. Including Fuma Keqing, there are a total of sixteen ships here, and there is no deviation.

There's no way it's an island.

In the era before radio communications, ships in the fleet communicated mainly through semaphores.

That is, each hand holds an eye-catching flag. Although I don’t know the reason, red and yellow are the most eye-catching colors. Semaphore signals are composed of hand flags spliced ​​together in these two colors, which express different meanings under different gestures.

Li Site never expected that before he could return to Tianguo Port, Daolinger would come to block him. He quickly conveyed the order and asked the flag bearer on the ship to wave the flag to the sailing battleship. It was not an island, but a mobile fortress. Everyone should turn left to avoid the detour. No contact.

He himself was not idle, using his hands and feet to climb the sail ropes and read the replies from other ships through the telescope.

fine.

Taylor's men are all professionals, and the crew are all veteran sailors who will not make stupid mistakes. Their lookout has discovered the signal, and the flagman over there has also sent back the flag message and is trying to avoid it.

Even so, Li Site's tense heart did not let go. The distance is too far, so I don’t know how big it is, but it must be at the level of a monster, even several times larger than the Earth’s aircraft carrier.

With such a large body, the sailing speed must be very slow. The sails must not be able to push the thing. Even if there are hundreds of horizontal sails lying sideways, they can only be used as an auxiliary power source. The magic crystal must be burned by the movement.

If that thing could catch me, it would be a disaster. It would consume so much energy and the engine would be completely useless. This would be impossible.

It is only suitable for offshore landing battles. On the sea, it is a short leg that no one can catch up with.

Something seems wrong about the atmosphere.

Renn took over the job of chief of sails and cables, and just in case, Xia Di also temporarily took on the responsibility of chief of gunners.

"Do you know what that is?"

Serin also climbed onto the cable net and stood next to Li Site. The wind was howling up here, making it impossible for most people to stand still. She also freed up one hand to look at the "Black Island" at the end of the horizon with a telescope.

Seeing Li Site's weird behavior, I couldn't help but think so.

"That's a ship."

"Boat?"

"That's right, one of Dollinger's pillars of support will not end well if faced head-on."

"I will protect you back to Heavenly Port."

"Now is not the time to talk about that."

Everyone on the deck was prepared, but it seemed like there was something under the sea. According to the navigator's observations, with the current wind speed, there could not be such a wave.

In an instant, whether it was Fuma Keqing or the large fleet headed by the sailing battleship, the ships were jolting. This was not a normal shaking, it was close to the turbulence of Category 6 winds. Some new sailors were knocked to the ground, unable to stand without holding on to something.

Li Site knew that that kind of thing drove slowly.

Needless to say, the person in charge of "Poseidon" must know better than Li Site.

Sail battleships can form a fleet, let alone "Poseidon"?

It's just that Dollinger's fleet is more than just ships.

More than ten years ago.

Dollinger beat to death a sea monster several hundred meters long with his fist. It was a huge thing called the "Whale-Eating Monster" that was rarely recorded and lived in the depths of the East China Sea.

Very few people have seen that kind of monster. Even the larvae are said to be more than ten meters long. The one Dollinger killed was the king of giant monsters.

It was as if the sea surface was boiling hot and the vast sea area was boiling. This strange sight was unprecedented. The people on the sixteen ships were under high security, but most people seemed to be scared out of their wits.

With the rolling waves, the sixteen ships began to bump violently, swaying back and forth. Suddenly the front half fell below the waterline, and then was thrown up again. Even the old seaman had been knocked upside down.

Li Site was also almost thrown off the cable net, but he held on tightly.

The scene that followed was too surprising, as the monster from the deep sea officially appeared.

Poseidon moves very slowly, so it is needed to entangle Li Site and others.

Dark-colored tentacles that were thicker than three people tied together strangled out from the sea. Each tentacle was more than ten or twenty meters long, standing high in the sky. As one tentacle emerged, dozens or hundreds more stretched out. , slapping and winching those patrol boats. Grooves were opened on the ship wall, layers of planks exploded and turned into debris, and the sailors above were beaten into a bloody mist by the tentacles.

Dollinger didn't know what he was capable of, even the sea monsters had to obey his orders, not even his own orders, but his men.

The patrol ships of the three fleets have all been attacked, and there is no resistance at all in front of that kind of monster.

Those patrol boats also had artillery, and they fired at the sea monster with tentacle suckers attached to the wall of the ship.

pound! pound! pound!

The power of the twelve-pounder cannon was terrifying enough. The smoke was steaming, tearing flesh and blood, and creating huge holes.

But this sea monster was just a mindless beast. It didn't howl in pain at all, but just ran silently. Its tentacles continued to wrap around the ship, stirring it until the deck and walls were completely broken.

Three patrol boats were destroyed. The crew members jumped into the sea, and some were eaten directly into the tentacles by sea monsters. The suction cups on the tentacles were not only suction cups, but also contained spiral layers of wriggling teeth. Those The crew would rather jump into the sea than be eaten.

The tentacles were churning on the sea surface. The sea monster whose detailed size was unknown, its tentacles alone were extremely huge. It was moving towards the sail battleship in the center and the Forma Keqing. It was not swimming, but just rolling.

"Fuck you! Fuck you!"

Ren panicked. Because of the aftermath of the huge wave, the entire Fulmacqing was still jolting. He had only one thought, escape! No matter what, the sea monster cannot be allowed to approach the ship.

Li Site was also shocked by this battle for a moment. This scene was too shocking. Facing the speed that was much faster than a sailboat, a huge black shadow was cruising under the sun-drenched sea. It seemed that no matter what instructions were given, , are all useless.

He suddenly lost consciousness, as if he felt like a dead person.

seven years ago.

On the day when the teacher comes out, there will be glory in death but no disgrace in life.

Li Site jumped off the cable net and landed firmly on the ground, already making a decision.

"Artillery, I'll go below the deck to control the artillery..."

A new sailor has been completely petrified.

"Holy Spirit above...save me, save me..."

A new crew member prayed with his fingers crossed on his forehead. He had never been so religious in his life.

Li Site's expression was cold. As a captain, he couldn't show his timidity. If he was scared, then he would send it away completely.

"What should I do? Do you want to fight?"

Xia Di realized that even firing the cannon was useless, so he hurriedly came up from below the deck and asked Li Site, "You are so scary."

"No……"

Li Site was extremely calm. He took out his binoculars and glanced at the position of the flag carrier of the sailing battleship. Even he did not expect that Taylor's people were so convinced of him.

Logically speaking, they should have completely collapsed in this situation, but the flag bearer over there was still at his post. Although he looked frightened, he was still waiting for his instructions.

Li Site ordered the flag bearer: "Tell them that we should spread out and evacuate. If we all stand in one pile, the whole army will be annihilated. Only in this way can we have a chance to escape at least some ships."

After this order is issued.

Li Site knew that the main target was himself. He would not be able to escape until he killed the sea monster. The thing moved much faster than the sailboat.

"This is the captain's order! Drive towards the sea monster!"

Li Site called out the Junlin Sword.
