Chapter 213 Naval Battle
The sky is clear and blue.
The sea is boundless.
With a splash, Lin Wen fell into the sea from mid-air.
【Fish and Water Harmony】
Lin Wenyu jumped out of the water and looked out. The sea was calm, with only some small black dots at the end of his sight.
"What bad luck."
Lin Wen complained.
The effect of [So Close Yet So Far Away] is to instantly teleport to someone he is familiar with, but there will be an error of several kilometers in radius.
Obviously, this should be the maximum error number.
Lin Wen moved his legs and his body immediately broke through the waves.
After checking the soul, [A World Away] is a blue-gray Jindan stage spell, which consumes 45% of the soul, and [Fish and Water Harmony] is a white Jindan stage spell, which consumes 25% of the soul.
A total of 70% is consumed, and after halving, there is still 35% of the soul.
When he came, his spirit was at 115%, and only 80% remained.
That's enough.
He swam quickly along the sea surface. Due to the effect of the spell, he had perfect water skills and a water affinity far exceeding that of dolphin skin. The waves and turbulence had almost no effect on him, but instead gave him a boost.
He was moving at an extremely fast speed but could not cause any waves. Because he was close to the sea surface, the warship's underwater sonar and surface radar could not detect him.
Of course, they didn't even turn on that thing.
In their eyes, this was an operation to take advantage of the situation.
As long as the fat sheep is found, the game is over.
Navy Marshal Lu Lijun sent Navy Captain Qiao Arthur to carry out this mission.
JoArthur, 43 years old, is one of the more promising young generals in the Imperial Navy. He is quick-witted, tactful, and good at guessing his superiors' intentions. Therefore, although his abilities are not outstanding, he was still promoted to colonel.
At this moment, he was sitting in the flagship "Yang Wei", waiting for reports from his subordinates.
Three 3,600-ton Seawolf-class destroyers and six 1,200-ton Storm frigates have tightly surrounded the 13,000-ton cruise ship, like a group of lions surrounding an elephant.
A smile appeared on Qiao Arthur's lips, and he swirled the red wine in his glass.
This hunt will be fun.
——
On the cruise ship.
Xiao Xiao's face was pale and cold sweat was pouring down.
He never dreamed that a warship would come to intercept. The cruise ship had very complete procedures, had passed all inspections, and there was no problem with the route. It was just the route of an ordinary cruise ship.
There are simply too many ships of this type on the Dalong River.
But as soon as they left the imperial territorial waters and had not been on the high seas for half a day, nine imperial warships came towards them.
Without saying a word, they surrounded the cruise ship, claiming that they were suspected of smuggling and demanded that the ship be stopped for inspection.
Although Xiao Xiao's career was not smooth, he was a man of great insight after all. He could tell at a glance that this was definitely the empire's regular naval fleet.
Why would the Imperial Navy target them?
Xiao Xiao couldn't understand.
Although the cruise ship's tonnage is much larger than theirs, the two sides are not on the same level. With the strength of the "Seawolf" class destroyer, they can be easily intercepted even without weapons.
There is no escape on the sea.
what to do?
Xiao Xiao has called Changshan County three times. The last reply was that County Chief Lin would send his Dragon Group agents to support and prepare for battle.
Xiao Xiao couldn't believe his ears.
This place is more than 500 nautical miles away from the coastline and more than 3,000 kilometers away from Changshan County. The other party has issued an ultimatum. If he does not slow down and stop the ship within 30 minutes, the other party will use coercive measures.
In such a short time, even if County Chief Lin’s agents flew, they wouldn’t be able to make it in time, right?
Xiao Xiao thought for a long time and finally came up with a possibility: there was a Dragon Group agent among the accompanying guards!
Before boarding the ship, Qin Luoshuang sent 200 crows to accompany him, led by Yun Zhixing. This was already half of the strength of Changshan County.
County Governor Lin’s agent could only be among them!
Hope suddenly rose in Xiao Xiao's heart.
He immediately summoned Yun Zhixing and Lei Tiantong and explained the situation to them.
Yun Zhixing looked very surprised: "Impossible, there can't be County Chief Lin's people here, these are all my people!"
Lei Tiantong was more perceptive: "What does it mean to be ready for battle? Can we sink the Imperial fleet or break out of the encirclement?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Xiao's mood suddenly became gloomy.
yes,
The maximum speed of a cruise ship can only reach 20 knots, while a destroyer can easily reach 30 or 40 knots. How can it break out?
Sinking the fleet is even more of a fantasy. Although there are no battleships, destroyers and frigates are also legitimate warships. Only warships can fight against warships.
What’s the use of one or two agents?
At this moment, a loud noise was heard. The three of them were startled and quickly stood up to look.
I saw a destroyer swaying up and down, and a large circle of waves spread out.
boom!
There was another loud noise, and the three of them clearly saw that the destroyer's hull trembled and rose and fell even more violently.
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
Lin Wen, who was underwater, frowned slightly.
He activated [The Strength of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers] and [The Power of Qi Confinement]. Under the double force, the absolute force was close to 100 tons, but it still couldn't penetrate the bottom of the destroyer.
However, there are some reasons for this.
Unlike the last time in Tianjiang, he was in the sea, the water was several thousand meters deep, he could not step on the seabed, and with nowhere to gain leverage, he could not exert his full strength.
The steel used in warships is all special steel, and he can't even insert his fingers into it.
After two punches failed to penetrate the ship, Lin Wen gave up the plan of directly destroying the warship.
He went to the bow and knocked his fist hard, making a loud noise, then quickly went around to the back of the ship, turned on the optical camouflage, jumped up, and climbed onto the stern.
No one saw it.
very good.
Lin Wen looked around, jumped up in one step, and landed on the top of the tower-like building on the ship.
The captain's command room was found behind the fire control radar.
When he looked over, he immediately saw a guy in a navy uniform, roaring wildly in front of his subordinates.
He picked up the wine glass which still had half a glass of red wine in it and threw it hard to the ground.
"Well, the cup smashing is the signal, it's time for me to go up."
Lin Wen smashed the front glass of the captain's room, jumped in, and threw five punches, and five bodies fell to the ground.
Only the naval commander was left.
He stood there stupidly, with an expression as if he was dreaming, and couldn't even speak.
Bang!
Lin Wen punched through the metal cabinet behind him, and his legs went limp and he fell down.
"You, who are you?"
A strong smell of urine came over, and Lin Wen frowned. Besides feeling nauseous, he also realized that he had accumulated a lot of bad karma.
Indiscriminate killing, bad karma +11.
That's a bit too much.
Lin Wen opened the [Observing Qi and People] to take a look.
fine.
This guy is all black.
But obviously, most of the crew should not be all black.
Lin Wen didn't want to increase the bad karma anymore. Besides the long time it would take to eliminate the bad karma, it would also take up the quota for strengthening the destiny star.
[Body of Destiny] There is only one chance to grab the star of destiny every three days, and it can only strengthen one magical power.
He used it all to strengthen [Yuankong].
If he could use the power of destiny to strengthen [Half-edge Cultivation], wouldn't he be able to become stronger faster?
Moreover, [Emptiness of Karma] eliminates both good and bad karma together. As much bad karma is eliminated, as much good karma will be eliminated.
It’s a big loss.
Therefore, it is best not to touch bad karma easily.
Lin Wen's mind raced, and he immediately came up with a solution that should be able to reduce a lot of the negative consequences of this action.
"What's your name?"
"I, I, I..." He was trembling, and even his tongue couldn't straighten out. "My name is Joe Arthur, I, I am a captain of the Third Fleet of the Navy."
"Do you know who I am?"
Jo Arthur shook his head.
"I am Qin, the supreme commander of the Southwest Region. I am the super-transformed warrior under Qin's command, who possesses the power to destroy the heavens and the earth."
"You only have one choice now. Order all ships to return immediately, or you will face the same fate."
Lin Wen pointed at the headless body on the ground.
The water above JoArthur's head and the water below him flowed at the same time, and his face was as white as a ghost.
Lin Wen stood a little further away in disgust, deciding to hit him to death with a table if he didn't agree, so as to avoid getting his hands dirty.
If plan A doesn't work, try plan B. After all, in the physical world, water battles are his home turf.
Warships are actually not difficult to deal with.
The power of all weapons will be limited underwater, and weapons such as guns and cannons cannot even be used at all.
Surface ships pose little threat to him because he can approach quickly from the bottom of the sea, and sonar will only mistake him for a big fish at most.
As soon as he got on board, it was a massacre.
The combatants on the ship are generally only equipped with pistols, and small-caliber firearms alone will not pose any threat to Lin Wen.
Therefore, in fact, there is no need for any particularly powerful spells, which can save a lot of energy.
There will be bad karma.
JoArthur wailed.
"Sir! I have no reason to order them to evacuate! Giving such an order would be tantamount to dereliction of duty. I won't survive if I go back!"
Lin Wen said, "I will take you back to the southwest region, and you will be under the command of Commander Qin from now on."
Jo Arthur wailed, "Sir! What about my wife?"
"Remarry."
"I have children!"
"regeneration."
JoArthur choked, but he trembled and still did not agree.
Lin Wen knew that he was worried about being deceived, and once the order to evacuate was given, there would be no turning back.
But Lin Wen can cross the river and demolish the bridge at any time.
Lin Wen thought about it and felt that maybe the Seven-Aperture Heart would be of some use at this time. It was very good at chatting, soothing people and building relationships.
He opened his seven-aperture exquisite heart and heard it say:
"Arthur, we've noticed you a long time ago. You're a rare talent. You're good at speaking, you can get things done, you have a sharp mind, and you're flexible. You possess all the qualities of someone who can accomplish great things."
"But unfortunately, you are from the navy. It is difficult for us to trust you. Do you understand?"
Qiao Arthur suddenly realized, "So, this is a token of allegiance, right?"
Qiqiao Linglong thought, "That's right. With this relationship, we can completely trust you. You also came here with merit. As long as you can continue to play your strengths, you will be promoted soon."
Suddenly, JoArthur stopped shaking and his urine stopped flowing.
He agreed very much with what Qiqiao Linglongxin said.
If not, how could they understand his strengths so clearly?
A hint of light appeared on JoArthur's face, but he did not agree immediately.
Qi Qiao Ling Long thought to herself, "Commander Qin has already been appointed Grand Marshal of the Empire. Moreover, Commander Qin has already created the legendary nuclear bomb. Following him, the future is limitless."
This was the inside information Qin Luoshuang had told him before. It was so logical, yet almost no one knew about it.
These two shocking revelations became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
JoArthur suddenly jumped up and shouted, "I do!"
"I've long seen that Commander Qin is unrivaled, invincible, and undefeated. The army is the core strength of the empire, and I've long wanted to join the army..."
"alright."
Lin Wen interrupted his flattery.
"Time is urgent, order the fleet to return immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
Joe Arthur immediately turned around and threw himself into his work.
He pressed the captain's channel.
"Everyone, obey orders. Destroyers, all turn left 3, forward 2. Frigates, all turn right 3, forward 2."
"Turn."
However, the order was not immediately executed.
My cousin got married today and the feast was all chicken. I came home with terrible diarrhea and it was unbearable.
