People's Grand Voyage, I start a game with a ghost ship - Chapter 369

c369 Naval battle, part 1

“The boat is being driven by a group of half-murlocs?”

“Yes.”

“What’s so weird about that?”

“You’ll know just by looking at the photos.”

Yang Yi sent a screenshot of the screen seen through the Greedy Eye telescope to Su Na, and received an immediate reply.

“Is there such a fish-man? Let me see!”

A few minutes later, Su Na came to the observation deck and looked into the distance with the Greedy Eye telescope.

“There are actually half fish-men on the left and half on the left…”

…………

In the distance, a fleet of more than a hundred ships was approaching, about thirty nautical miles away from the Nightmare Star.

As if they knew the position and course of the Nightmare Star, they paused for a moment about thirty nautical miles away from the Nightmare Star, shrunk the fleet, and did not start again until they changed a formation.

All the boats slowly unfolded, like a large net, and they were fishing for the Nightmare Star.

“These fishmen must have discovered us a long time ago, but we didn’t notice it just because we were underwater.”

Yang Yi checked the crystal ball chart, and the layout of the opponent’s fleet was all on it.

“According to this assumption, the previous attacks were probably not accidental, but planned, in order to slow us down.” He further added.

Suna also holds the same view on this.

She returned the Greedy Eye telescope to Yang Yi, who took it and continued to observe the opponent’s entire fleet.

There are five small ironclad ships.

These small boats are highly maneuverable and serve as scouts at the front of the team.

Behind them are wooden sailing ships, which look relatively worn out, and mixed with several large steam ironclads. The surface is severely rusted and the maintenance is average.

Containers of light are hung on the decks of these ships, so you can use a telescope to see clearly the layout of the ship from a long distance without being covered by black fog…

“It feels like most of these ships are fishing boats. They don’t have many cannons, or even no cannons. They look like the most primitive first- or two-class ordinary ships…can they also be pirates?”

Yang Yi further observed and raised doubts.

“We’ll find out later by arresting a few living subjects and questioning them.” Su Na was concise and clear. She already wanted to arrest a few people involved and question them.

Even if they don’t say it, the corpses will never lie. Just do an autopsy and you can figure out what happened to them and why they became like this – not only the left and right murlocs, but also the upper and lower ones. Half of it, or even one that turns into a fish in the middle… In short, people are not human, and fish are not fish.

She returned to the deck and prepared for the planned ambush.

Yang Yi was the only one left at the top observation deck again.

Such a loose fleet with poor combat effectiveness, even if there are hundreds of ships and thousands of murlocs and half-murlocs, Yang Yi is still sure to win.

By then, just by dismantling the ships, you will be able to obtain a lot of supplies.

And the more he looked at this fleet, the more suspicious it became. He always felt that they had nothing to do with the pirate group, like civilian ships parked in the port.

“Is there an island nearby?”

He had an idea and immediately used the observation tower to scan his surroundings, and sure enough, he made a new discovery.

In the direction from which these ships came, about 1,300 nautical miles away, there is a circular island with a diameter of about six kilometers, which can be regarded as a medium-sized island.

So these ships most likely came from that island.

“Is this Cook Island…?”

Yang Yi frowned and took out the hand-drawn chart in the Aboriginal notebook to look at it. There were three marked locations on it, namely Grand Cross, Gold Chamber of Commerce, and Cook Island, and there were diagrams drawn next to them.

For example, Cook Island is a round island, which is very different from the image given by the observation deck.

Similar waters and similar islands, so this is most likely Cook Island.

It is extremely unlikely that two islands with similar shapes and similar distances will appear in the uninhabited and lightless sea.

Therefore, either the hand-drawn chart had a large error, and Yang Yi estimated the wrong direction.

Or…this round island has the ability to move.

Yang Yi thought for a few minutes, told Su Na what he found, and decided to act as planned and start an ambush.

After winning, go to Cook Island.

…………………

Forty minutes later.

The fleet of 107 ships finally arrived at the location where the Nightmare Star was previously located. They were lined up in a concave arc, with their muzzles pointed forward, and at both ends were small, fast ironclad ships.

It’s just that there is no shadow of the ship at this coordinate, and there is nothing on the water. The Nightmare Star seems to have escaped.

“Wow, wow, wow?” (Didn’t you say the ship is nearby?)

On the largest iron-clad ship in the middle of the fleet, an unknown creature with a fish on its left side and a human on its right side asked in fishman language.

Soon a big fishman emerged from the water next to the armored ship and reported in fishman language:

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.” )

“Gu Gu!” (But where is the boat? There is no shadow of the boat here at all.)

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.” (I dont know, maybe he ran away. I will lead a team to search the surrounding area…)

At this moment, a light suddenly lit up underneath the armored ship.

A “big shark man” emerged from the water and asked in broken fishman language: “Waa gulu guru?” (Are you looking for me?)

Beside him, there was a glowing light fairy floating, which could fly freely underwater and in the air.

Just now, they used the black cloth cloak to lurk underwater, waiting for these ships to fall into the trap.

Fortunately, the enemy arrived in time. If they waited for another seven or eight minutes, Yang Yi would not be able to hold his breath. (Bionic shark skin one-piece swimsuit will greatly increase lung capacity.)

The half-fish man who was suspected to be the leader looked at the sea and found Yang Yi. He was stunned for a moment, because it was also the first time he saw a shark man with a wolf head. It was too weird.

But this did not prevent him from identifying Yang Yi as an enemy, because Yang Yi’s fish language was too unauthentic, and he was not using fish bubbles to vibrate and make sounds.

He must be an enemy!

“Gu Pu Pu Wu Wa!” (Enemy attack!!!!)

Similar strange cries came one after another, and the fleet suddenly fell into chaos. All turned around and aimed their guns at the middle.

The nearest few fish knights had already thrust their spears forward, and many arrows and guns were fired at Yang Yi who had emerged from the water.

But they all missed.

Yang Yi was as agile as a fish underwater, and he jumped onto the large ironclad ship like a whiptail fish.

Tricia grabbed the mane on the back of Yang Yi’s neck and followed him onto the deck.

The battle was about to begin.
