Chapter 110 The First World War
"Report to the captain! The fleet has been spotted behind the fleet!" the lookout shouted to me from the top of the mast.
"Behind?" I quickly looked back, and sure enough, a rather large fleet was approaching. When I saw the flag clearly, I finally understood what the Americans were doing!
Following us is a Russian fleet with more than a thousand ships, more than the American fleet, but this fleet is mostly made of wooden warships like us. I was just about to take a look at the equipment of the Russian warship when suddenly the lookout man shouted again. "Fleet spotted at two o'clock!"
"No!" I shifted my gaze again, and what I saw was an even larger fleet. No, it should be two! At first, I just noticed that the fleets coming from two directions were divided into two and kept a distance from each other. When I got closer, I saw clearly that these two fleets were the British and the French. The British fleet is that damn imperial fleet, with more than two thousand warships, which is really scary! The French fleet is not much different, probably around 1,300 to 4,000 ships.
"What's going on?" I don't know when Su Mei came online. Although it is still very cold at this latitude, it does not affect the movement anymore.
I pointed to the sea. "Over there is the American fleet, over there is the Russian fleet, over there is the French fleet, over there is the British fleet!"
"The United Nations is meeting? All five permanent members of the Security Council are here! What are they going to do?"
"How do I know! It's okay for Americans and Russians to be here, after all, their country is nearby, but it's a bit incomprehensible for the British and French to appear here!"
Just as he was talking, the poisoner suddenly ran out from behind. "Boss, have you watched the International Forum?"
"What's wrong? What happened? Tell me slowly!"
The poisoner thought for a while and said: "I felt bored after I logged off, so I went to the forum. As a result, I found that an anonymous Russian player posted a message on the forum saying that there was an uninhabited man west of St. Lawrence Island in the United States. After comparison, he found that there is no such island to the west of St. Lawrence Island in the real world. Although the map in the game is not completely copied from the real world, most of it is still preserved as it is. There is no reason for it to be in this uninhabited land. It makes no sense to build an island out of thin air! Based on this, the player determined what treasures there were on the island, so he built it specially. Then he found some friends and bought a small boat to explore it! "
"Then he discovered the treasure?" Su Mei asked next.
"Wait a minute, west of St. Lawrence Island, isn't that where we are?" I finally knew why I saw so many battleships!
"Big thing! Big thing!" Big Pot Rice suddenly rushed out of the cabin. "I just saw someone on a Chinese forum saying that the location of the mysterious treasure was announced on an international forum, so I went to check it out. Guess what I saw?"
I interrupted him and said, "The poisoner is talking to us! Your news is expired!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Rose and Shura Ziyi rushing out of the cabin together. Before they could speak, I spoke first: "I already know about the treasure!"
"Ah? What treasure?" Both of them looked at me stupidly.
"Aren't you talking about the treasure island at the international forum?"
"What treasure island? It's inexplicable!" Rose pulled me and said: "Shura Ziyi called me just now, and Ying just told her the news that China had a fleet of more than a thousand ships that left the port last night and came to us. We're coming here, and we're about to meet each other based on time. Ying told us to be careful, the fleet coming out this time is a motley crew, and besides the Goddess Alliance and passionate people, there are many small guilds!"
"No! There's a maritime party here!"
"Sorority?" Shura Ziyi didn't understand what I meant. I pointed around, and then she noticed the outline of the fleet that could already be seen with the naked eye. "These are fleets from China?"
"You don't even think about it! How can there be so many fleets from China!" Rose took a telescope from the second officer next to her and looked at it. "Wow! All the five major countries are here!"
As everyone was talking, the door of the cabin opened again, and the last Wuqing ran out. It seems that the sensational effect of this news is really big!
"You all know?" Qing Qing asked immediately.
I nodded, and then said to the poisoner: "Tell me, what happened next?"
"As Ximei said, they later went to the island and discovered the treasure! But things were not that simple. First of all, there were many reefs around the island, and the wind would blow inexplicably. It was not an ordinary wind, but a cyclone, southeast, northwest and northwest' What a shame! The group's boat later sank because they failed to control the wind direction, and he was the only one who actually made it to the island. According to his description, there were not many monsters on the island, and he also recorded a lot of clips . The most exciting thing was that later, there was an extinct volcano in the center of the island. From the crater, you could go down to the island, and he recorded the whole scene inside the crater. Do you know what is there?"
"What?"
"Magic crystal! The entire volcano is a big magic crystal mine!"
"How much is that worth?" I seemed to have seen piles of magic crystals in my eyes. They were all money!
The poisoner continued: "The person who sent the message was still very excited at the time, but soon became depressed! The place was a treasure, but he couldn't take it away. There was no ship, nothing to transport, and there was no teleportation array on the island. . The magic crystal is not considered equipment and cannot be placed on his body. In the end, he had no choice but to 'commit suicide' and return home without taking anything with him!"
Su Mei shook her head and said: "I guess it's a lie! With such a good opportunity, he could go back and organize a large fleet to come back to dig for treasures, and only a fool would post it to share with others!"
I also nodded in agreement. At least I knew that if I encountered this situation, I would not post it. Even if I wanted to tell others, I would have to tell someone I know. It is a big favor after all!
Ruthless added: "That person said that the currents there were not generally 'chaotic', and the wind direction was not fixed, so it was impossible to sail or fly in. After that, he tried several times, but all failed, so he decided that there was It was impossible to get close at all. The first time he landed on the island was just by chance. Others could not get to the island again. Even if they did, they couldn't be transported out without a boat! So he deliberately posted this news to see who could take it. arrive!"
"That makes sense!" Su Mei nodded. "But the credibility is still not high!"
The poisoner said excitedly: "There is a live video taken by that person on the forum. It cannot be fake!"
"If there is a picture to confirm it, then it must be true. But..." Su Mei then only said one sentence, and no one said anything else! "We still have millions of Mist Legion troops on board. One of them will die before reaching Isengard. Who will be responsible for this price?"
Everyone was quiet. I finally concluded. "Anyway, it's not like the Chinese Guild didn't send people out. We still have missions, so don't mess with it inside!" I turned around and said to the first mate: "Instruct all ships to pay attention to avoid other countries' ships and not to cause conflicts. Also, no Before leaving this sea area, please do not put away the gun emplacements, and stay alert at all times!"
As soon as the order was given, the lookout hand shouted: "Island found ahead!"
We looked over one after another, and sure enough, an island appeared in front of us. According to visual inspection, it was about the size of Beijing! There are strange white reflections flashing around the island, which should be caused by the waves, but how messy the waves are to achieve such a large area of flash!
The flag bearer suddenly reported. "American warships signal us!"
"say what?"
The flag bearer said word for word: "We are the American fleet, please tell us your identity!"
I suddenly remembered that we did not fly the national flag. This time we went to sea to avoid getting into trouble, so the national flag was put away. Now there is nothing on the flagpole in the place of the country! I quickly asked the crew to raise the flag!
The signal flag bearer soon began to relay the American flag: "This is U.S. territorial waters. This island belongs to American players. Please keep Chinese players away!"
I immediately said to the flag bearer: "Tell them we just came from the Arctic Ocean and just passed by here!"
After the flag bearer finished signaling, the American over there replied: "Thank you Chinese friends for your cooperation!"
After receiving the affirmative answer, the American warship obviously accelerated its speed and came closer, unlike at the beginning when it maintained a fighting distance. Soon we were sailing side by side with the Americans. We could see that the players on the American battleships were standing on the side of the ship looking at our Noah in a daze. They must have never seen such a big floating object!
Taking advantage of the close distance, I quickly took a look at everything on the American warships with confidence. Fortunately, they looked very ordinary. They were all gunpowder cannons. Some ships had magic crystal cannons, but there were not many of them! When we look at Americans, they are also pointing at us, and they are probably studying us too!
After a while, the Russian fleet over there also came closer. It was the same as before. First, they communicated with flags. The Russians also said that the island belonged to them and told us not to get close. I had no intention of messing with them anyway, so I immediately said that I was just passing by. Upon hearing that we were not planning to go to the island, the Russians became obviously polite!
Next came the exchange between Russia and the Americans. The flag bearer translated the words of both sides to us. At first, the two sides were testing each other, but then it turned into a quarrel, and finally it escalated into an exchange of force! The unnamed island happened to be in our shipping lane, and we were sandwiched between the Americans and the Russians. This was not fun, so we quickly ordered the fleet to turn around and avoid the island.
As soon as we left the middle of the two fleets, we heard the rumble of artillery behind us. The US fleet and the Russian fleet are really fighting! I quickly asked the fleet to speed up. We are still within shooting range of both sides. If we are hit by a stray bullet, we will be wronged!
Before we could get very far, the British and French fleets in front started fighting. We were so frightened that we quickly turned to avoid the war zone. The British fleet is almost twice that of the French, and they still have time to pay attention to us during the war. Because we circled from the side of the British fleet, the French and us just sandwiched the British fleet in the middle. It may be that this position has stimulated the British, or it may be because of the last conflict in Gibraltar. In short, the British thought that we were going to overtake them and join forces with the French to deal with them. Without any notice or inquiry, the British fleet fired at us first!
Of course we had to fight back if we were beaten. Our fleet immediately fought back while maintaining its course. When the French saw that we were fighting with the British, they immediately used flags to ask if they were willing to cooperate with them. They would kill the British first and then compete with each other!
This reaction of the French is normal. The British have too many warships. They know that if there is a three-party melee, the British will definitely win in the end, so they will definitely unite with us to fight the British. This is a very simple truth. When three people fight, the two weak ones must first join forces to kill the strongest one and then fight each other!
Our reply was: "China and France are friendly, and of course we in the Rose Alliance are helping friends. We are not participating in this competition, we are just passing by. Now we are helping you weaken your opponent's strength, and we will leave soon!"
Although the French regretted not getting our help, at least we helped them reduce the strength of the British, which was finally helpful to them! After politely replying to us, the French began to concentrate on fighting with the British again!
Our side basically only exchanged fire with the British warships a few times before falling away from the battle line. The main reason is that we had no intention of interfering with it in the first place. Besides, some of our cannons have not thawed yet, and less than half of them can be used! But just now we concentrated the magic crystal cannons in the fleet to sink several British warships at key positions in the queue. The formation of a naval battle is very important. We bombed several key points, and the British formation immediately became chaotic. The French warships took the opportunity to knock out many British warships!
We just broke away from the battle line, and another large fleet came over in front of us while fighting in a melee! The scene was really chaotic. The fleets in front were all in a mess. It was completely unclear which fleets they belonged to! I looked at the flag with my star pupil, and the first thing I saw was the five-star red flag, and a lot of Chinese warships! However, the guild flags of these Chinese warships are in a mess, there are almost dozens of them! Of course, the most popular one is the passionate flag, which is the largest guild in China after all!
In addition to Chinese warships, I also saw Korean warships, Japanese warships, Indian warships, and a lot of flags. Some small countries may have just a few ships coming out, and it seems that there are quite a few who want a piece of the pie!
There is a strange phenomenon in this group of warships, that is, these warships, no matter which country they are from, are basically attacking Japanese warships except Indian warships. It seems that Japan's international reputation is not generally bad! Look at this posture, the Japanese warships will all be destroyed if they can't reach the edge of the island!
The melee in front was too fierce, and there were ships everywhere, with nearly ten thousand large and small ships piled together. Although our fleet has amazing firepower, we don't dare to open fire. I can't guarantee that we won't hit one of our own! Although I don't care about other guilds, there are ships from the Hot Blood and Goddess Alliance there. It would be bad if they were hit. Hong Yue will definitely settle the score with me!
After thinking for a long time, he decided not to fire the cannon and let the fleet avoid this big battlefield. "Rose, take the fleet back to Isengard first!"
"Then what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to step in and make the situation more chaotic. It's best if no one has warships in the future, only we do! Hahahaha! By then..."
"Then why did you come back?"
"Just leave me alone. I have so many dragons flying back. Maybe I will arrive first!"
"Okay! Then we won't care about you, let's go first!"
The fleet gradually moved away, leaving me and a few familiars alone under the sea. Just before entering the water, I opened the sub-dimensional door and brought out the four giant dragons, the little dragon girl, and Aina. The other magic pets were not suitable for the water, so I didn't let them out! When I left the Bi Ling, I also brought a speedboat out. Anyway, this thing is originally running underwater, which is just suitable for me to dive. I didn't run towards the Hot Blood Alliance's fleet. Anyway, there was a melee there, and I couldn't help much. My target is that island, you can fight slowly here! I'll go up and remove the things! I wonder what the last person to land will think when they see the empty crater after they decide the winner!
We soon reached the sea area where British and French warships were fighting. The bottoms of the warships above our heads were running around. From time to time, some shells or ship fragments fell around, and sometimes the entire warship even sank. I'm going to give the French a little help. There are too many British warships. If they kill the French and there is still a lot of combat power left, it will not be good for us. So I plan to balance the strength of both sides, so that the battle can last for a while, and it is best if they die together in the end!
The bottoms of British warships are made of steel plates. Although I can penetrate them, it would be a waste of time. It takes a long time to sink a ship. So I decided to do indirect damage and directly destroy the rudder! If you can't control the direction, you can't dodge the shells, and you can't find a good shooting angle for your cannon. In this way, the British's strength will decrease without causing too much loss!
Several dragons went out to cause damage. When they saw a ship, they bent its stern rudder into a curl. Because the warships of the Imperial Fleet are all silver, they are easy to recognize. We are not worried about getting French warships!
The French suddenly discovered that the British fleet's formation was in chaos on the sea, and many ships began to spin around. So they thought that an opportunity had come, and the British fleet's losses increased rapidly! I destroyed about three-quarters of the stern rudders of the British battleships below, and then quickly left here with my familiars and approached the island.
The first thing I didn't see on the island was the reef. It was like a stone forest, but it was in the sea! The waves seem to be driven by some special force, rushing in from all directions, then suddenly turning into a whirlpool, then suddenly disappearing, and then appearing out of nowhere to push you in a certain direction. After all, my speedboat did not escape this strange current and was smashed by the reef! Among my several demon pets, except for Ariana, who has extraordinary swimming skills, the rest rely on the reefs under the sea to anchor themselves!
Xiao Longnu has a long body. She is like a snake coiling around the reef and moving forward to change rocks one by one. She is very fast. Relying on their strength, the giant dragons simply grabbed the surrounding reefs and moved forward like rock climbing! I was the worst. I originally thought I could use the dragon tendon rope to move forward alternately, but I found that the dragon tendon rope was too soft. Although it would not be washed away by the waves, it was controlled by the current and floated around. After being hit, I was stunned. I decided to let Xiao Longnu lead me forward instead!
After finally passing the reef area and climbing the mountain shore, I really believed the words of the guy who posted the message. It's true that ordinary people can't get in here. If it weren't for my powerful magic pet, I wouldn't be able to get in by myself! I lay on the beach and took a breath first. Anyway, it was far away from the melee and they couldn't see me. Besides, the fight is getting fierce now, who has the intention to look over here. As for my demon pets, it's okay if they are seen. They can't tell what they are from so far away. At most, they think they are monsters on the island!
The view of the sea from here is really beautiful. The three melee areas are all in full swing. With the help of Star Eyes, I can see flashes of light and some faint smoke from time to time. The war between the United States and Russia is obviously coming to an end soon. The Russian wooden ships are still not as good as the American armored ships and are about to be destroyed. However, there are not many Americans left, and every ship is injured! It seems that our fleet must be armored as soon as possible, and wooden ships have been eliminated! The war between Britain and France is almost over. Although I help the French so much, the British imperial fleet is indeed extraordinary. In this case, the British still have to win, but they have not taken advantage of it. More than half of the more than 2,000 battleships have been lost. It may be difficult for the imperial fleet to develop again in the future! Of course, the British don't think so now. According to the poisoner's description of the video uploaded by the person who posted it, it is estimated that the value of those magic crystals is enough to rebuild two imperial fleets. The British idea is that as long as they win the final victory, even if they wipe out the imperial fleet, they will still make a profit!
The melee between the Chinese players has not yet been decided, but basically the Japanese warships are no longer visible, and they are probably all sunk! No matter how powerful the fleet is, it can't hold up all the Asian fleets to attack him!
It seems that the battle will continue. I don’t know whether the remaining American fleet will form an alliance with the British or be in a melee. But that doesn’t matter. Anyway, the melee in Asia will affect them soon! At this moment, I suddenly saw a fourth melee team joining in. This time it was even more terrifying. More than 20,000 warships came over while attacking each other. I don't recognize most of these flags, but I can probably tell from a few of them that they are fleets from Africa and South America, and there are even ships from some European countries in them. It seems that the attraction of the magic crystal is not that great! But yes, it is worth enough to build two imperial fleets. Who can not be jealous? The British imperial fleet is basically running rampant in Europe. If anyone has two imperial fleets, then he will really have the world at his disposal, and no one will dare to touch this fleet's idea!
After this new army arrived, it quickly got mixed up with the Asian melee brigade. The sea battle involving tens of thousands of warships was really not an ordinary heroic one! Before the British had time to wipe out all the French, the fleet that had just included the Asian fleet included them. Then the melee fleet continued to move until the Russians and Americans were also brought in. It seemed that they would not be able to achieve results in less than three to five hours!
I don’t have time to play with them, so I have to quickly enter the island and move things! Others cannot move the magic crystal because it is not considered equipment and cannot be put into the storage space. But I am different. I have a space door. No matter how many things there are, just pile them all in the backyard of Mother Earth’s house!
We didn't dare to fly because we were afraid of the fleet's attention, so we had to walk through the woods. As soon as we entered the forest, we discovered a strange place. Although this was no longer the Arctic Circle, it was still very cold, but all the plants growing here were tropical plants! After walking in the forest for a while, I actually saw a small freshwater lake, about bigger than a football field. The lake is constantly steaming, it must be a hot spring! When we were lucky, we suddenly jumped into the lake when we heard it was a hot spring. As a result, we got wet again after finally drying ourselves out!
Let the plague drag out the luck and continue to move forward. In order to speed up, we started running fast, but because we ran too fast, something happened. I was running well, but suddenly I felt my feet go soft, as if I had stepped on a sponge, with no place to bear my weight. I instinctively wanted to lift my feet to find a point of support but found that I couldn't lift my feet! My whole body fell forward due to inertia. I wanted to support it with my hands, but when my hands touched the ground, they were as soft as my feet. My arms were directly inserted into the ground, and my face was in direct contact with the ground! There was no pain, and the things under me were soft and sticky. No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't use any strength. My first thought was that I had fallen into a swamp, but it didn't seem like it!
It took a lot of effort to get my head out of the rotten things. The mask was completely covered and I couldn't see anything. With great difficulty, I pulled out another hand and pushed open the mask to finally see clearly!
This is a large pool of asphalt, the kind of natural asphalt pool that grows near volcanoes! These things are more elastic than chewing gum. Once they stick, they can't be shaken off! There are a lot of animal bones around. They probably fell in accidentally and were trapped here! I wanted to ask my magic pet for help, but when I looked back, I found that everyone had fallen in except the little dragon girl floating in the air! Luck and plague are still struggling there, but it seems to be of no use. The dragon is indeed very powerful, but there is nothing you can do when it encounters the asphalt like chewing gum. This thing doesn't use any strength at all!
Asphalt itself is poisonous. Although my mask can filter toxins, we are constantly sinking. Even if we are not poisoned to death, we will be buried alive sooner or later!
"Little Dragon Girl, find a way to get us out!"
"Let me think about it!" Xiao Longnu began to think about any way to catch us.
Lucky may have been a little annoyed because he couldn't struggle out, so he suddenly began to inhale and prepare to spray the dragon flames. Before I could stop him he was already squirting. Although asphalt is not easy to catch fire, dragon flames are enough to ignite it. There was a loud bang and the entire asphalt pool burned. Auntina was so frightened that she quickly used a rainstorm spell to put out the fire. But I didn’t expect that I would be blessed with the goods! The asphalt hardened immediately as it cooled, and we easily broke the asphalt around us and crawled out.
When the Plague came out of the asphalt it brought up some dirt which caught my attention. Carefully picked up the piece of soil and looked at it. Grandma came over to look at the mud on my hand, then looked at me and said, "What are you looking at, Master? Is there anything special about this piece of mud?"
"Did you notice his color?"
"It's a little blue, what's wrong?"
"I have seen this kind of blue soil once before! It was next to the largest diamond mine in South Africa!" My father took me to see diamond mining before, and that time my father specifically mentioned this kind of blue soil. Colorful soil, I didn’t expect it to be included in the game!
"You mean there are diamonds around here?" Grandina looked around. "Even if there were, we wouldn't have time to dig! And diamonds don't seem to be as valuable as magic crystals!"
"Then let's move the magic crystal first. If we have time when we come back, we can come over and take a look! If it's too late, forget it!"
We quickly left the asphalt pool and ran towards the crater. None of us noticed that after we left, an ugly head slowly emerged from the center of the asphalt pool, and then slowly disappeared into the pool.
At the same time, the melee on the sea has reached fever pitch, and many warships approaching have even started brutal hand-to-hand combat! The French fleet no longer exists, and the Russian warships are almost gone, but their original enemies don't know this because they are busy dealing with the mess of warships around them. Basically, there is no order or formation anymore. All the warships are simply shooting at the surrounding non-domestic warships! What I didn't know was that Hongyue was also in the melee team at this time, and her new flagship Goddess was participating in this melee! However, the Goddess was not far from sinking at this time, and no less than 200 large and small holes had been punched in its hull!
