"Hmm, three out of ten hit the target in a distance of 300 meters, that's pretty good."
Qin Mo's words brought smiles to everyone's faces. It was so difficult to get praise from the prince. Everyone knew that the prince was not only handsome and a fierce fighter, but also very smart. He almost never praised anyone.
"First mate, you be the gunner and try firing a few shots."
"Hi!"
Kaihime walked to the cannon with the best view, where a gunner with a particularly sycophantic nature had already cleaned the barrel, loaded the powder, and loaded the ammunition. A new target ship was also lowered into the water. No one felt sorry for it; seeing that the prince and she were dressed exactly the same, even the most blind fool would know that she would be someone who could influence him in the future.
Kaihime slowly cranked the handle, moving the cannon up and down into position. The left and right directions were easily adjusted by her Yellow Realm cultivator's strength. She carefully felt the frequency of the ship's rise and fall, gripping the rope tightly.
"Bang!"
The shell traced a beautiful arc and struck the target ship's tall sails squarely, creating a hole.
"Bang...bang...bang"
Four shots in a row, all hitting their targets, silencing everyone's laughter. This... was a deliberate slap in the face to the men.
"Bang!"
Kaihime excitedly fired the final shot, the shell hitting the mast directly. The enormous impact caused the target ship to tilt and sink.
Everyone stood ramrod straight, silent, their eyes fixed on Kaihime. She placed one hand on her chest and gave a standard military salute, an acknowledgment of her rank as first mate.
Kaihime blushed and returned the greeting solemnly. She no longer cared about Qin Mo's praise; what she wanted most was the recognition from the crew.
"Kai, how's it feeling to be the first mate?"
Kaihime was still excited when she returned to the captain's cabin with Qin Mo. Upon hearing Qin Mo's question, she replied without hesitation, "Kaihime feels great."
"Yes, be more careful in the future. Navigation is a vast subject, and naval battles are extremely dangerous. The sea is not like land; there is no way to retreat."
"Oh!.... Kai still prefers to follow His Highness... and doesn't want to be the first mate."
"I'll be the captain, and you can be the first mate!... Think about it, on this high seas, what's yours is yours, and what belongs to others can also be yours!"
"...Why is this thing mine...?" Kaihime was a little confused.
