Episode 21
##021
Do you know where the communication line is and go to catch it?
Isn’t that obvious?
You can infer the direction the enemies are coming from in reverse.
It will be located in the center of the rear.
“Oh!! You must be good at leaving evidence, right?”
“Check it out.”
-Trrr
The place the vice-captain connected to Lian’s words.
“This is the Watchtower! What’s more, aaa~!!
A sweet and lively voice.
She was spinning very excitedly on the watchtower.
“Damn it, hold still!!”
A watchman drying Charlotte.
As directed by Rian, her first job was at the Watchtower.
“Churr. It’s so much fun.”
What the hell is fun about?
Is that girl’s head full of flower fields?
“How do you not get motion sickness?!”
“It was so much fun because I didn’t get motion sickness. hehehehe.”
“It’s already narrow and shaky.”
“It’s narrow and shaky, so it’s so much fun. hehehehe.”
“Ah-oh. I want it because I’m crazy.”
“You’re so mad you~~mu~ it’s fun. hehehehe.”
The watchman shook his head.
The watchtower was located at the top, so even the slightest rocking of the ship would cause it to tilt violently.
It is the most seasick place.
Conversely, the weakest spot for motion sickness is the rear end of the boat.
“Yes. Yes. Have fun~. Records?”
“It’s also fun to take a camera. hehehehe.”
She is holding a record magic tool. Click click! I took pictures of the sinking enemy ship as if flying.
There was a rope hanging around her waist to keep her from falling, but it didn’t look dangerous.
“Ah-oh. there are no monkeys It’s expensive, so be careful not to drop it. You need to take clear pictures without blurring. Because there is a limit to the number of images that can be left per record ball (film).”
“Yes~~!”
The senior sentinel shook his head.
what. you will do well
The key to a camera, a recording magic tool, is to take pictures without shaking, but when I ordered it, it was better than myself.
Report to the vice-captain first.
[You keep good records. Vice-captain.]
“okay? If there is anything out of the ordinary, report it right away.”
[I get it. Rather, how long should I keep this girl here? I’m so mad I could die.]
“what. That’s it. ask the captain It was the captain who placed it.”
Anyway, the record seemed to be doing well.
“Sir, Sir Seo Eon! Three ships are approaching this way from the southwest.”
The raider has reported.
“good. good. very good! Shoot the smoke grenade.”
“In the sea like this?! Fighting as a group? Would you rather agree?”
“Shoot red. If you find a communication line, they will come.”
The vice-captain scratched his head.
“no. Where is the communication line! If you get caught messing around with this, the trust of our pirates will go downhill.”
“Do not worry. It’s obvious where the communication lines are. More than that, I need an ally to take care of these scumbags.”
“Ah-oh. I don’t know. You are the captain.”
The vice-captain called the watchtower again.
After a while.
Beep! phut!
High in the sky something flew, spreading red smoke.
The pirate scout ships who saw this will come in droves.
Originally, the reconnaissance ship would not engage, but if the position of the opponent’s communication line was discovered, the words would be slightly different.
The fact that the red color is the discovery of a communication line was prearranged.
“Let’s go to sleep!! Come here.”
First of all, in order to get to the place where the queen bee was, it was necessary to unite them a little.
After that, you can have your pirates take care of it for a while, and then go to the enemy communication line that is hiding out of sight.
Before that, of course.
“sh*t. Are you going to be surrounded?”
The vice-captain banged on his chair and fretted.
He was not very good at naval battles.
If the sea had been calm, I would have seized the opportunity and sneaked up on the enemy ship to disturb it… As of now, there was nothing I could do.
I have no choice but to leave everything to the cute little boy sitting at the helm in front of me.
Kiriric!!
The boat swerved like crazy on the waves.
Correct. Not a cute kid, but a crazy kid.
“Uh ha ha ha. Come on. More, more, more!!”
The enemy is closing the siege, but Lian laughed maniacally and shouted.
Can I get out of this siege?
If you forcefully escape to one place, you have no choice but to be beaten from multiple angles by the artillery fire from several ships.
No matter how much Going Missha is the latest ironclad ship, it would in fact sink.
No matter how small and fast the enemies here are, but if they are completely surrounded, they will have firepower equal to that of a battleship if they are in range of at least four ships.
In naval battles, never be surrounded.
Weaknesses are exposed.
“Seo Eon-nim! ally Ships presumed to be allies are approaching.”
A number of ships were approaching in line.
The enemy’s location is already known.
The number of reconnaissance squadrons has been fixed to some extent and there will be no more coming out.
As well as the direction the squadron is approaching.
That means an ally.
“good. very good!”
It was worth the hard work time.
Meanwhile.
* * *
The captain with the highest rank among the reconnaissance warships shouted in frustration.
“Why the hell hasn’t the siege been completed yet? Enemies might come soon.”
A signal flare was fired from the pirate ship.
We don’t know what color means.
“Weirdly, the siege is weaker and we escape.”
The navies secretly communicated with each other and built a net behind the scenes.
By the way, that strange looking pirate ship smelled like a ghost and changed course in the other direction.
Thanks to that, it didn’t seem like it would take.
“Do you really know that you are under siege?”
“Maybe not.”
“I don’t know who the captain of that ship is, but the distribution is amazing.”
It seemed like I might have to give up.
It may move quite a bit from the place where the signal flare was fired, and there may be little chance of encountering enemies.
The pirates who came after seeing the signal flare will have to search.
still don’t know Giving up slowly… … .
“Uh… ?! I got caught.”
“ha ha ha. nice I want to see the captain of that ship soon. I wonder what kind of mug you did. If it’s not a personality breakdown, I’ll have to report it to the upper level and appease it.”
I thought I would raise a white flag when I was completely surrounded.
Of course.
The moment you try to force your way through the siege, you will be fired upon by at least three ships.
however… … .
* * *
Ryan was only on his own.
“Should I leave it soon and go?”
“You can get out of this?”
The vice-captain, who had been biting his nails inconsistently with his size, asked.
“Does our ugly vice-captain still lack respect for the captain? hehehe.”
“no. Rather than… … .”
Let’s go!
While the vice-captain was talking, the Going Misha tilted sharply and changed direction.
“Ugh… no way… over there?”
“You said it earlier. The tide is on our side.”
After saying that, he connected communications with the engine room.
“sister. Please turn ESP (posture control system) off.”
[Looks like you’re going to run amok again. Our cute baby shark.]
“Can you please stop calling me by such cute nicknames? I am a monster. That’s nasty!”
Tsutsutsutsutsutsu!!!
The engine room of the Going Missha roared like a vicious monster.
The ESP disengaged and all safety devices were disengaged.
“this. We’ll be busy too. Let’s move so that the self-proclaimed monster can stir it as much as he wants! What are you doing?! Don’t move fast!”
The engine room became busy at the words of Hermi, the chief engineer.
The fact that the safety device has been released on the engine means that the firemen will have to manually adjust the limits.
Tsutsutsutsutsu!!!
The Going Misha turned around in a big circle and got on the wave.
when viewed from the outside.
“You are restless. There is nowhere to escape. It narrows the siege even more.”
It looked like it was looking for a hole to escape to.
However, what is a little strange is that it feels like the speed increases the more you turn round and round.
The first to discover it was the helmsman.
“Captain, this is strange.”
“what? At this rate, he will be surrounded and will have no choice but to raise the white flag. It will soon be within range of all ships.”
“that is. Unusually high speed. That ship will soon reach out of control territory.”
Nothing is impossible in this world.
However, there was a speed that often drew a line between helmsmen.
Especially on a day like today when the waves are rough, you need to lower your speed than usual.
It’s like snow.
however… … .
“tail… kid. This is too bad.”
The vice-captain grabbed the chair.
I tried not to show it, but to be honest, I was a little scared.
To the point where spending so many years at sea is futile.
“what. Do it with something like this. From now on, it’s straight ahead. You don’t have to change direction, just hold the center. I’ve already boarded the wave. This unwavering comfort… … .”
rattle!
The moment I said that, my stomach rumbled.
“It shakes a little, but whatever. It’s a peace of mind.”
Ryan was smiling.
I broke out in a cold sweat inside, but… … .
“But can you really penetrate that way?”
“On days when the waves are heavy, the boat cannot be anchored unless the anchor is lowered. In other words, in order to create a perfect encirclement net that even calculates the speed of the tide, you need to make perfect calculations from the time you plan the encirclement. hehehehe.”
Even an old person like yourself can do that.
It is close to impossible to keep the boat in place while receiving it from the side rather than the front of the waves.
So, when building a siege, you have to calculate the amount of being pushed back or keep moving while making exquisite turns as a group, which is never easy.
The latter in particular requires group training. It’s tight too.
“And who made this plate? Will you let me do that?”
The enemies thought they had driven the Going Misha into the siege net, but it was the opposite.
He looked at the distance of the enemies one by one and entered the siege according to the timing.
“They foolishly created a siege too early. Look at that. hehehe.”
In fact, it wasn’t long before it turned out as Ryan expected.
“Captain. One side of the encirclement has been loosened.”
“Tighten again.”
“That is… The direction the enemy ship is trying to escape… … .”
“what… what!!”
The ships of the Serang Empire had to move their ships to coordinate the siege.
In other words, you have to ride the waves from the front, not from the side where the gun is located.
“Break through the opponent.”
“sh*t!! You’re sneaking in on that?! shoot! You can sink it.”
Bubber Beopbung!!!
As the Going Misha broke through the encirclement, the ships of the Serang Empire became impatient and opened fire.
Kang!! Kaga River!!!
There was a loud sound as the shells hit the ironclad Going Missha.
“hehehe!! This is bulletproof glass or bulletproof wire!!!”
Only two feet hit. Those two shots didn’t take that much damage either… … .
[Captain! Two people are seriously injured after being hit by a shell in the Marine waiting room.]
was not
By the way, there should have been quite a lot of sailors in the marine waiting room, but it was strange that there were only two.
[The moment the shell penetrated, Sebas stopped it.]
“Oh oh. As expected, Deacon Sebas.”
He was a capable butler and a capable warrior.
“how. How did you get only two shots?”
The vice-captain still looks dumbfounded.
Even if it is sloppy, if the siege is formed, at least 3 ships will receive concentrated fire.
A perfect encirclement would be 4 ships.
“I told you. He rode the wave.”
Just now, the encirclement had collapsed momentarily.
Moreover, all but one of the ships could only fire the Galvepaw at range.
Even that, the waves were rough and the hit rate was terrible.
“Of course, not everyone can do this. Heh!
“What kind of woman wants a crazy kid like you… ah. I do have one. I mean, both of them go really well with the slightly ground taste.”
Then Charlotte, who was at the Watchtower, sneezed.
“Echwi~”
She wiped her snot and kept an eye on the situation. And she saw a number of ships approaching in line.
The flagpoles of the ships each fluttered a different pattern of skull flags.
