Chapter 146 -141: Assault on the Abyss Blood Pool
The massacre in the fog was without suspense. Da Fei laughed wildly to the end. When the last red dot on the mini-map disappeared, a long list of system prompts finally came as an end-of-year summary.
—System Prompt: A glorious victory! You defeated the legion composed of 44 players from the enemy camp, gaining Experience +234,691, Gold Coin +22,016, Reputation +12,760. You obtained C-level strategic treasure: Telescope ×43. You captured Demon Servant Shipworkers ×232 and Abyss Lord ×37.
—System Prompt: You achieved the victory of “The 7th Battle,” receiving an additional Command Power +10 as a reward. You achieved the victory of “The 1st Glorious Battle,” receiving an additional Command Power +20 and a Hero Life +20 reward.
—System Prompt: Your Vice Heroine, Katelina, obtained information about Master-level Navigation Skill.
—System Prompt: Your Vice Heroine, Katelina, obtained information about Master-level Pirate.
Wa hahaha! Katrina indeed obtained the Grandmaster information, and it was a double whammy! Pirates and navigation skills really complement each other, after all, pirates have potential, huh? Moreover, there was even the achievement of a glorious battle victory? How is this achievement determined? In any case, it must be a major victory in a large battle, wa hahaha!
Anwen laughed heartily: “Miss Katrina seems to have learned a lot. In any case, if she simulates a few more courses or fights a few more large battles, she will probably grasp it.”
Just like that! Fighting large battles while conducting God-level research, this is the way to comprehend Grandmaster Navigation Skill! Da Fei excitedly saluted again: “Lady Anwen, you truly earn my admiration!”
Anwen laughed heartily: “It’s your own outstanding conditions, otherwise, even if I wanted to teach you, you wouldn’t learn it!”
Of course! Da Fei said pleasantly, “You’re too kind, madam!”
Anwen waved her hand with a faint smile, the fog cleared, revealing giant paddle ships floating in ruin on the sea, prisoners scattered sparsely on each surrendering ship. The largest gain from this battle was these 37 Abyss Lords. Although it fell short of the goal to capture over 70, leaving so many survivors amidst the chaotic shooting was quite an accomplishment.
Da Fei waved towards the bridge: “Honey, tow it away!”
In high spirits, Katrina laughed heartily: “No problem!”
These prisoners were lucky to be carried by ships at sea. If they were on land, unless you’d learned Advanced Logistics to buy marching caravans, you’d be stuck staring blankly at them, unable to move, eventually becoming wild creatures. At sea, you can certainly tow them. This towing speed is extremely slow, so there is an important skill to improve speed, Towing!
—Towing: A sub-skill of Advanced Sailing Skill, allowing players’ large ships to rapidly tow seriously damaged, unmanned ships.
Keywords: rapid towing! Towing is a very important sub-skill in navigation. For pirates, this skill is essential, no explanation needed. For merchant fleets and navies, this skill is equally critical; if any ship has an accident, teammates can lend a hand, so some originally doomed ships will be preserved. More importantly, Towing is a prerequisite skill for the Grandmaster-level Navigation Skill sub-skill “Piloting.”
—Piloting: The speed of the flagship determines the fleet speed, and captains or first officers of subordinate fleets must learn Master-level Navigation Skill and Towing to accept the flagship’s piloting.
This is the Piloting, the divine skill for Chambers of Commerce!
Different ship models naturally have different speeds. Fast-running ships have small cargo capacities, while high-capacity ships often move slowly. With the Piloting skill, fast ships can act as flagships, towing slower cargo ships, ensuring they don’t lag behind.
Scientifically, this likely involves the V formation principle in fluid mechanics, where the lift produced by the leading bird’s wing flaps saves a lot of Stamina for the following birds. We often see news of United States Navy aircraft carrier fleets moving along a straight line, which is more or less the same concept. Those interested in the V formation principle can consult with their physical education teacher.
During the public test, the maritime world had a famous term “Locomotive”! Locomotive refers to players who have learned the Piloting divine skill. They are highly sought-after talents recruited by various Chambers of Commerce, and their game account valuations rival any so-called God-level Hero today. Correspondingly, the large, slow-moving cargo ship is the train car.
Now, with Katrina poised to break through to the Grandmaster in navigation skills and my unmatched fast ship, what does this imply? It implies a bright tomorrow awaits me, with beautiful Angels calling from afar! Wa hahaha!
I will not be employed as any locomotive; I’ll start my own Chamber of Commerce and lead my own fleet! I’ve promised to live in the most luxurious sea Royal Palace with my baby, and I will see it through!
However, speaking of this ship, Da Fei asked: “Lady Anwen, what should be our next move?”
Anwen shook her head with a smile and said: “There’s not much wind underground now. The Captain can hardly make any progress here. We must go to the Abyss Blood Pool. In any case, let’s take this time to rest the troops.”
Finally time to hit the road! Da Fei nodded: “Alright, madam, you’ve just worked hard too, take a break.”
Anwen laughed and said: “That’s necessary warm-up, Captain, you should be busy cleaning up the battlefield.”
“Understood.”
The Flying began collecting prisoners around the field, consolidating remaining troops and supplies onto several ships for centralized towing, as busy yet orderly as ever. Katrina, with her pirate background, is undoubtedly adept at such tasks. However, this clean-up of such a huge battlefield must have been a task never undertaken by her dad.
Meanwhile, other troops took the time to sleep and recover Mana while Da Fei vigilantly surveyed the surroundings.
The world channel was buzzing with encouragement and cheers from tycoons, and the current area channel was abuzz, with screens filled with applause whenever a player shattered a foreign warship. In such a fervent atmosphere, all players forgot their pre-battle thoughts of conserving forces, fully immersing themselves. This is the charm of national warfare; once the atmosphere is cultivated, no player can resist full-heartedly engaging.
Looking at the screen filled with cheers worldwide, how could Da Fei not feel restless and pumped up? Meow, after overturning 44 ships and no countrymen knowing, no one applauded for me! But foreigners knew! Standing on the battlefield with the momentum of this great victory, wouldn’t it frighten all foreigners into taking the plunge and committing suicide?
Hell, what’s the point of joining the battle now? There’s no wind; what else can be done? Not to mention, whether foreigners, seeing red, would launch large-scale attacks intending to annihilate me, this mission person, or whether enemies would take the opportunity to stab me in the back. Better listen to the old lady and prepare to hit the road.
Their names were unknown, but their achievements would be immortalized — oh, the legendary tragic life!
When the Flying finished the battlefield cleanup, the enemy never appeared. Such is fright, right? It’s fine.
Now, the Flying towed full two ships of troops and supplies to the Flower Demon barracks, which hosted Abyss Lords. It seems the Spider Demon reinforcements reclaimed most of the barracks. How long can my troops hold this barrack? In any case, depending on these 53 Abyss Lords to hold it. I guess it can’t be held for long. Alas, in the end, I didn’t even get the bargain of a level 6 unit. In any case, consider it a practice session for Katrina. She’s my future locomotive, wa hahaha!
After arranging the Abyss Lords, the Flying reached the pre-planned teleport location on the expedition map; the troops’ Mana had also almost recovered.
Anwen presided over the center of the Teleportation Array on the deck, her expression solemn as she began to cast spells, with white light bursting from the Array! Then, the entire ship subtly turned white.
Anwen said in a deep voice: “Captain, are you ready? We’ll implement sequential teleportation according to the pre-battle plan! The distance to the Abyss Blood Pool is infinitely far geographically, even unreachable, but spatially, it’s very near, you could say just a wall away.”
Da Fei took a deep breath and nodded: “Ready!” Suddenly, Da Fei remembered something: “Will the Flower Demons follow me on the expedition?”
Anwen paused and then laughed: “The Captain’s warship is now their only home; what else can they do but go on the expedition with you?”
Indeed, this mission mode has altered the Flower Demons’ attribute, allowing them to join the expedition! Good! With such a powerful magical meat shield, I feel confident!
Anwen shouted: “Depart!”
The entire Flying turned into a white light and disappeared.
