Chapter 253 Evasion
Hunting a ship that is marked and wanted by the Sea God will not increase the wanted level. Once the hunt is successful, you can also obtain additional soul energy enhancement rewards from the Sea God.
After the vessel successfully destroys the armor of another vessel, the victor can have two choices: one is to continue to sink the opponent's fire. After sinking the opponent, the opponent's captain escapes or dies. The vessel and all the equipment and cargo on the vessel will be destroyed together, and the victor will get nothing.
Generally, only when you have to kill the enemy of life and death, you will choose to end the opponent in this way.
Another option is to use the soul to communicate with the Sea God under the supervision of the omnipotent sea god, and propose to sign a summon contract with the winning party. After the victory party receives the notification from the Sea God to agree to the sum contract of the defeated side, all the goods and equipment on the defeated side's weapon ship will be automatically transferred to the victory ship, and the defeated side's weapon ship will be forced to be reduced to the first level by the Sea God, and the weapon ship will be automatically transmitted back to the main island dock by the Sea God.
Therefore, although actively attacking other vessels at sea will be a risk of being wanted by the God of Seas, once you win, the harvest will be very rich. On the vast sea, it is very common for the captain to obtain soul power to upgrade the vessel for the equipment and cargo on the vessel, or for the sake of victory in the battle, and actively launch an attack on another vessel. Under normal circumstances, for safety reasons, when sailing on the sea, you can observe in your field of view that a vessel that is not a ship is approaching, so you must be very careful.
Lin Zhou left the main island for a distance and confirmed the direction of the crab claw island, then raised his sails and activated his soul power. He asked the vessel to sail towards the crab claw island at a second-level speed.
The speed of the vessel sailing in the sea is three levels. The first level is sailing with only the help of wind, the second level is sailing with wind and captain, and the spirit of the vessel activates part of the soul power. The third level is sailing with wind and captain, and the soul power of the vessel is activated with all the strength.
The third-level speed is naturally the fastest, but it cannot last long. After the captain and the instrument's soul power consumed too much, they only take the first-level speed. It is generally only used when they are used to quickly approach enemy ships or escape in naval battles. Under normal circumstances, the captain will only sail at a second-level speed that activates part of the soul power. In this way, the soul power is not consumed much and can be replenished between breathing.
The Kunte ship will have some low-level armed ships patrolling and blocking the waters outside Huludao in order to further force the new captains on Huludao to join their ship club and be enslaved by them. On the other hand, it is also to train the practical combat capabilities of these low-level weapon ships so that they can advance and upgrade as soon as possible. After Lin Zhou goes to sea, there is a high possibility of encountering them.
...
The blue sea and blue sky. The sea surface is undulating under the sunshine. The further away from Huludao, the more severe the waves are, but these three or four meters high waves are not enough to pose too much threat to the Shenzhou.
Lin Zhou, who stood at the bow of the boat and controlled the sailing of the entire vessel with his mind, was also excited. This was the first time he sailed down from the sea after he came to this life. Compared to the martial battles on land, it was a completely different kind of excitement and excitement.
At this moment, his soul belongs to the sea, his blood flows in the stormy waves of the sea, and his immortal belief is always right in front of the bow of the ship, inspiring him to move forward, fight and conquer.
When passing by a small island, Lin Zhou instinctively circled a little far away. He was not sure whether there would be a vessel that was full of malicious intentions to him hidden behind the island that he could not see. Otherwise, it would be possible that when he could see the island behind it, one or several vessels suddenly rushed out and made violent impacts or shelling at his hull.
This combat instinct does not seem to originate from himself, but from communication between him and the spirit of the vessel and the vessel. You must know that the Shenzhou is not an ordinary new vessel.
Lin Zhou's Shenzhou had just bypassed the island, and a ship really broke out behind the island. Lin Zhou saw the black flag he was already familiar with when he was on the shore, with the logo of the Kunte family on it.
Needless to say, this vessel belongs to the Quint Ship Club.
The vessel I saw in the telescope had sixteen guns on both sides of the side of the ship. Lin Zhou's mouth slightly raised. Is someone going to send the gun to the door?
In addition, the hull of the vessel was slightly red during the observation of the telescope, which was a sign that it was wanted by the Sea God. It seemed that the armed vessel had successfully robbed other passing ships before and was therefore "dyeed red".
Looking through the telescope, you can clearly see that the ship's hull carved with the big words Martin engraved. Then, it was already a third-level vessel of the pool level! It was two levels higher than Lin Zhou's first-level Shenzhou.
After discovering the traces of Shenzhou, the third-level Martin vessel of the Chi-level Martin quickly rushed towards Shenzhou. While Lin Zhou observed Martin with a telescope, Martin's owner also saw everything on Linzhou's Shenzhou with a telescope.
It is obvious that the Shenzhou is just a first-level weapon ship, without gun arms, and only has a collision angle installed at the bow! The owner of the Martin ship did not know that the collision angle on the Shenzhou was elite. Now in Martin's eyes, the Shenzhou with only one collision angle is equivalent to unarmed. As long as he can pass a few guns from a distance, he can break the Shenzhou ship armor, get the opportunity to improve his soul energy and rob the opponent's arms and cargo.
The owner of the Martin belongs to the Quint family, and all the funds coordinated by the ship association were used to equip the side cannons. Because he had advanced two levels before, he received the blessings of the Sea God. Martin also used all the blessings of the Sea God to strengthen the attack power of the Sea God.
After successfully hunting down the other three vessels, Martin looted a normal-class bow collision angle and several ordinary-class side guns installed on his vessel, allowing his side guns to reach a full value of sixteen. With the impact angle, the attack power of the Martin vessel is still very strong now.
If Lin Zhou's Shenzhou escapes, Martin will chase him back. Even if he can't catch up, he can drive the Shenzhou to the attack range of other Kant Shipbuilding vessels hidden on the sea. In this way, Martin can also strangle the Shenzhou, but the soul energy that it has been improved and the equipment and goods it has been robbed at that time will be allocated according to the contribution degree with other ships of the same ship.
For Martin, the best result is to hunt Shenzhou alone, so he has not notified other vessels from the same ship club to come. Of course, to deal with a first-level vessel that has just entered the sea, the third-level and fully armed Martin does not need the help of other vessels to kill the other party.
After Lin Zhou found out that Martin was chasing him, he did not choose to let Shenzhou escape. With his speed of two times now, if he chose to escape, Martin might not be able to catch up with him. But Lin Zhou's purpose was to use the cannons on the other side. Martin wanted to hunt Shenzhou, but what the captain of Martin could not have expected was that Shenzhou wanted to carry out anti-hunting on him.
A third-level weapon ship that has been blessed by the Sea God twice. If the enhancement of the Sea God blessing is used to strengthen the attack power, then its attack power will be about 20% stronger than that of the normal first-level weapon ship, which is a significant threat to other weapon ships.
When Martin was chasing him, Shenzhou did not escape as the captain of Martin imagined, but turned the bow of the ship and rushed towards Martin quickly. In a short while, Shenzhou entered the attack range of Martin's side cannon.
"Good guy! Is this a newborn calf not afraid of tigers? I think you are just a little fat sheep, right?" Captain Martin couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that he was going to eat a little fat sheep in one bite. And he still ate alone.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A few quick and continuous cannons, four long cannons among the eight guns on the side of the Martin hull were exhaling rage and shot four shells at the Shenzhou.
The side guns are divided into long cannons and short cannons. The long cannons are set on the deck, and short cannons are set in the lower cabin. The long cannons are used for long-range artillery bombardment, and short cannons are used for heavy cannon bombardment when two vessels are close to attack. The long cannons have a long range and a smaller attack power. The short cannons have a very close range, but the attack power is much stronger than the long cannons, and it is easier to produce critical strike effects than the long cannons.
Once a critical strike is made, the ship armor of the opponent's ship will become less stable for a period of time, and some parts will flash weaknesses with red light. If the ship of the attacker is equipped with a cyclometer, you can use the cyclometer to additionally attack these weaknesses, causing additional damage to the ship armor of the opponent's ship, or even double damage.
The unstable ship armor caused by the critical strike will quickly recover from stability, and these red weaknesses will not last for too long. Therefore, once a critical strike is made, the ship armor of the opponent's ship flashes its weakness, you must use a cyclone cannon to attack as soon as possible.
This is the experience that the spirit of the weapon told Lin Zhou. However, there are no circumferential cannons for sale in the Sea God dock now. If Lin Zhou wants to install circumferential cannons on the Shenzhou, there are only two ways. One is to go to unknown seas to eliminate indigenous pirates and rob them from their ships; the other is to find the drawings of the circumferential cannons from the ruins of the ancient battlefield, collect all the required materials according to the drawings and go to the dock to sacrifice and refine them.
The drawings are magical attributes and are also one of the raw materials for sacrificing various ship equipment. They disappear after the sacrificing. A drawing can only sacrifice the same equipment. If you want to sacrifice the same equipment again, you must find a new drawing.
The spirit of the Shenzhou weapon is far more powerful than Lin Zhou imagined. It had already predicted the time of Martin's artillery attack. In addition, the two vessels are far apart now, so the Shenzhou had already made evasion actions in advance when the Martin fired. The entire vessel turned sideways quickly with the help of a wave coming oncoming, and easily dodged away the four shells fired by Martin.
Predicting the timing, using the ups and downs of the waves, reminding Lin Zhou to activate his soul power to turn rapidly... The perfect combination formed a tactical avoidance action. All the Shenzhou did was as standard as a textbook. This is the art of manipulation of the vessel. The memory that has been engraved in the soul of the instrument. Without thousands of years of experience in naval battles, it is impossible to be so proficient.
When the spirit of the weapon was instilled into Lin Zhou's mind, these experiences also subtly became Lin Zhou's memory and experience.
Although all the shells in the first round of artillery shells were lost, Martin's subjective attack on Shenzhou has been judged by the Sea God. In addition, Martin has already had a wanted level. If Shenzhou fights back against Martin, even if he kills the opponent, he will not increase the wanted level at sea. Instead, he will receive the reward of the Sea God's additional soul ability improvement due to hunting pirates.
After avoiding the first round of Martin's artillery and using a telescope to confirm that there were no other Gunte Shipbuilding vessels on the surrounding sea surface. Lin Zhou controlled the Shenzhou and turned the bow again, and rushed straight towards the Martin's hull.
Lin Zhou is not able to control the entire vessel now, but with the help of the instrument spirit, he is quickly adapting to all this and incorporating the experience of the instrument spirit into his memory through learning. He knows that he must be familiar with and dominate all this as soon as possible, otherwise the powerful Shenzhou will not surrender to him so easily.
Shenzhou currently only has collision angles, so the tactics that Linzhou can use must be close-range collisions. The Martin has both side guns and collision angles. In the current state, the attack power of the side guns is much greater than the attack power of the collision angles, so the tactics used by Martin now are to try to keep a distance from Shenzhou and then bombard the opponents from a long distance.
Failed to hit the blow, Martin turned the rudder and sailed far away while sailing far away. He filled the side guns of the vessel's ship with shells and prepared to carry out a second round of artillery bombings on the Shenzhou.
During specific naval battles, wind power alone is not enough to complete various tactical actions. At this time, in order to complete various tactics, the captain of the vessel must vigorously activate the soul power in his body to control the vessel. Although the captain of the Martin is in the liquid condensation realm, the soul power is much stronger than Lin Zhou, but the spirit of the Martin vessel is much weaker than that of the Shenzhou. When the two are combined with the soul power activate, the Martin is still far inferior to the Shenzhou.
The confrontation between the vessels and ships is not only the arming of the vessels, but also the competition between the captains of the two sides. The test of soul power by ocean sailing is in terms of endurance, while the test of soul power by various tactical actions during naval warfare is mostly in terms of explosive power.
The Martin is strong in its attack power, and it has not been enhanced. The Shenzhou speed has been strengthened by two levels, and coupled with the full power of soul power, the Shenzhou's instantaneous speed is much higher than that of Martin. When one chases and escapes, the distance between the two vessels is slightly closer.
After the side gun shells were filled, the Martin did not continue to run away, but turned the bow of the ship to face the Shenzhou horizontally, and launched a shelling attack on the Shenzhou again!
"Bang! Bang bang bang!"
Like just now, four shells spurted out from the mouths of the four long guns of the Martin side gun, and shot towards the Shenzhou, which was quickly approaching Martin.
Lin Zhou has now had some experience and has already made predictions about the Martin shelling. He did not let the spirit of the weapon control the Shenzhou, but tried to dodge himself as a model. This prediction of the shelling is multifaceted. On the one hand, it is necessary to consider the speed of the opponent's captain filling the shells. On the other hand, if Martin wants to attack the Shenzhou, he must first turn the hull and let the side of the Martin face the Shenzhou.
Under Lin Zhou's control, the Shenzhou went sideways in a beautiful front-end dodge, and easily dodged the second round of Martin's artillery. At the same time, the distance between the two vessels was once again narrowed!
"You did a good job! You made rapid progress! You are very talented!" The spirit of artifacts was obviously very satisfied with Lin Zhou's learning ability.
Lin Zhou didn't say anything. Every cell in his body was very excited and focused on the battle behind him. The feeling of manipulating a ship for naval battle was completely different from the fighting between warriors on land, and it was extremely fresh and exciting.
Both rounds of artillery crashed and even a single shell did not fall on the Shenzhou hull, which made Captain Martin feel a little discouraged. The feeling was that the other party seemed to know when he would fire the cannon. Whenever he fired the cannon, he moved sideways in advance, away from the direction of his cannon, which made his cannons deviate so little that it could not hit the other party.
Captain Martin has calculated that under normal circumstances, if a first-level tank-class weapon ship has not been strengthened, under the current attack of the fire of the side gun, it will almost break the armor after two rounds of artillery attacks. Previously, Martin discovered that Shenzhou was a first-level tank-class weapon ship with no side gun armed and only had the bow impact angle, and was very confident that before the opponent approached and hit his hull, he would pour out two rounds of artillery fire from the opponent.
But what he never expected was that the opponent's strange evasion action made his first two rounds of shelling fall into vacancies. This was a big blow to the captain of the Martin, and it was even a result that he had not considered before the war started, which made him have to rethink the next combat plan in a very short time.
The Martin didn't consider the escape at all. The third-level Martin was chased by a first-level vessel and fled everywhere. He was heard by the captains of the same ship, and he could not see anyone in the future.
In close combat, although the opponent's corner of the collision would be a threat, it is a big disadvantage for the opponent to have no ship guns. However, the Martin can launch heavy artillery bombardment at close range, causing heavy damage to the opponent. At that time, it will be determined that the opponent's corner of the collision would first knock out the soul armor of his hull, or his heavy artillery would first blow out the soul armor of the opponent's hull.
It is unlikely that the other party will have a very powerful collision, right? So... Theoretically speaking, the possibility of Martin bombing the Shenzhou ship armor is much greater, accounting for at least 95% of it.
Although the range of the short cannon is very short, as long as the opponent dares to enter the range of his short cannon, he will not be able to do the same avoiding action as before! You must know that once the short cannon is out of the bore, it will go straight and fire. The shells will reach the opponent's hull almost at the same time. It is almost impossible for the opponent to dodge.
Captain Martin quickly made a decision, which was to sail around the Shenzhou, always letting one side of the ship face toward the Shenzhou, and immediately launch a heavy artillery bombardment as long as the Shenzhou enters the range of the short gun. Isn't Shenzhou very good at hiding? When the distance between the two vessels is close to a certain level, the heavy artillery fires to see how you can avoid it!
Even if the heavy artillery hits the bow of the Shenzhou ship, the damage is reduced by 60%, it will be enough to cause great damage to the Shenzhou ship armor. You should know that the first-level small ship has not been blessed by the Sea God, and the ship armor is very fragile and vulnerable.
At first glance, the Shenzhou has not joined any ship club. It is conceivable that it cannot obtain additional financial support like the Martin. Then the real strength of the Shenzhou can be easily judged.
Before, Shenzhou easily dodged the two rounds of Martin's artillery, which must be due to luck! The captain of the Martin thought so firmly.
Captain Martin's choice was exactly what Lin Zhou wanted. Because when the collision angle attacked another vessel, the bow attacked the side of the vessel at a vertical angle, which would maximize the attack's armor-breaking effect.
Martin did not know that the impact angle of the Shenzhou bow was elite, and the Shenzhou was just a first-level instrument ship. Therefore, the captain of Martin believed that the soul armor of the Martin hull could at least resist the impact of the Shenzhou bow angle. After successfully hitting Martin once, if Shenzhou wanted to hit him again, he had to go through many complicated processes such as turning around, returning to sail, increasing the distance, and adjusting the bow.
Then, the Shenzhou must hit Martin three times before it can break the armor. In this process, the Martin was enough to find seven or eight opportunities to bombard the Shenzhou with heavy artillery. When the two ships are close enough, even the stupidest captain, urging the ship's long and short cannons to shoot in a random way, it can kill the Shenzhou into pieces!
Whether the first-level Shenzhou can withstand a volley of heavy artillery is still a question.
After thinking about this, Captain Martin's confidence burst out again. He orbited with the Shenzhou as the center of the circle, always facing the Shenzhou side of his vessel, preparing to carry the impact of the Shenzhou and load shells to bombard the Shenzhou.
...
After one round of shelling of the ship, the vessel needs to reload and fill the vessel. After two rounds of shelling of the Martin, Lin Zhou has basically figured out the approximate time required between the two rounds of shelling of the opponent.
Therefore, Lin Zhou has also predicted when the opponent's third round of long cannon attack will be launched. At the current distance, the opponent can choose long cannon attack or short cannon attack. Of course, it can also launch long cannon and short cannon attack at the same time. In this way, it will be difficult to avoid it.
However, without getting close to him, the Shenzhou had no chance to sink Martin.
Chapter completed!
