Chapter 889 The Sea (Part 1)
Chapter 889: At Sea (Part 1)
Mist plane
The black clouds were rolling in the sky.
Although the fog gradually dissipates on the sea during this season, the constant bad weather still causes the sailors to encounter many troubles.
At this time, the strong wind had swept everything, and the whole sky seemed to be swallowed up by black black.
A wave of roar passed by, and a large cloud of dark clouds gathered here.
"Slow down, pay attention to the direction!" The whole sky seemed to be overwhelmed, and the thick clouds were like huge black shadows, covering everything. The sound of the wind and the roar of the waves was extremely terrifying. The merchant ships drifting on the sea were like dead leaves, and could not be beaten in the wind and waves.
At this time, anyone seems very small. This is a force that shocks the world and belongs to nature.
"What should I do if the wind and waves are getting heavier?"
"What else can I do? Do as I say, don't panic!"
"Not good! Captain, water poured in on the left!"
"Quick, dig out the water and tie the rope!"
"yes!"
"Captain, Ship 3 has broken down! Look, Ship 3 has not followed!"
"Damn it!"
People's anxious voices kept repeating.
This fleet has a total of six ships, all of which are patrol ships. In order to explore new routes, many territories will send ships and personnel to travel far to the sea to explore the situation.
Because of the existence of many sea beasts and fog, the mission of navigation has always been extremely dangerous, but the rewards given to these navigators by those lords are also very high.
Money can make the devil push the mill, not to mention the risk of death.
Although sailing is a very dangerous thing, there are still many applicants. Usually, those who dare to sign up are brave, experienced and capable people. Even such a group of people seem to be confused and afraid when facing such a terrifying weather.
What's more, the sea they are now in is a famous sea of death. There are many sea beasts here, and each sea beast is enough to obliterate the merchant ship.
"Forget it, don't worry about them anymore. At this time, when the two ships leaned together, they were looking for death!" The captain of the ship said: "Didn't you see it? A sea beast has appeared! They have been targeted by the sea beast. We go over and are looking for death!"
At this time, the waves were constantly rolling and the hull was shaking violently. The captain had clearly seen the situation there. He saw that the big ship was in trouble, and there were many moving black spots around it. Those black spots were all sea beasts lurking in the water.
There were constant collision sounds of collisions, and from them, these sea beasts were actually hitting the ship.
The wind was loud, and the captain still heard the call of everyone on the ship. In order to preserve his strength, he had to pretend not to hear it.
"But..." The first crew member to find something wrong with the ship was still hesitant.
"Nothing, but I'll follow my orders and take it as my responsibility to ensure the safety of this ship. Be careful not to let the sea beasts get entangled!"
Ignoring the cry for help on the ship in the distance, the captain of the ship said coldly.
"Yes!" The sailors around him responded in unison.
The subordinate who was talking just now stood in the wind and rain, looking at the ship in the distance, with an incompetent expression on his face.
At this time, the ship was already destroyed by wind and rain and impacted by sea beasts. A loophole appeared on the ship. As soon as the water entered, the hull immediately tilted. Obviously, the ship might be overturned into the sea in a short time.
"Help! Come and help us!"
"There is no veterinary detoxifier on our ship. Who has it on your ship? Help me!"
"Who will help us! Help!"
The people on the ship were shouting loudly, and the sound reached the ears of others through the sound of wind and waves.
"Don't pay attention to them and keep sailing!"
"……yes."
Not only did this ship not go to rescue, but the other four ships also adhered to the principle of saving themselves but not saving them, and had no intention of getting close to that ship.
At this time, the wind and waves on the sea were very strong, and the rules here in the fog plane were very strange. That is, if there is no priest within the place where the gods they believe in, they cannot pray for the arrival of divine arts. Even if there is a priest on their ship at this time, they will only help them solve some limited problems on the way. The number of these divine arts is too small, and even if they are all used at this time, they cannot produce any huge effects at this time.
What's more, there was no priest on these ships. Faced with this natural force, they had no choice but to pray and wait.
The power of mortals is too small. Under the impact of such a natural force, they can only pray for the past of disaster.
"Sir, that hole can't be blocked. What should I do? The water is pouring into the boat!"
"Damn it! Get stuff in your way!"
"No, I can't stop it!"
"What are they doing? At this time, why don't you come by the boat quickly!"
"This group of miscellaneous people obviously want to protect themselves!"
"Sir, what should we do? If this continues, we will be dead!"
"Sir, those sea beasts are still hitting the hull!"
There were more than a dozen people on the ship entangled by sea beasts. They were all hired to act as pioneer fleets. Except for the captain, all others were hired.
It is precisely because of this that the people on other ships choose to ignore them indifferently - they are all the lord's direct descendants.
For those who spend money to hire, those who live and die in normal times, they may be able to take care of themselves in such dangers.
"Look, then other ships came!" Suddenly, a crew member, in despair, screamed as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.
"Other ships?" The person in charge of the ship looked back and sure enough, he saw several fast ships walking towards this side at a very fast speed.
These ships seemed to be protected by some kind of force and were not afraid of the strong winds and waves at all. Seeing this situation, the person in charge immediately shouted: "Hurry, everyone else will quickly dig out the water, you, and you, together with me, call them for help!"
At this time, he also understood that relying on his own may not be useful. It is better to see if these ships can save their lives!
"Help! Help!"
"Our ship is broken and entangled by sea beasts. Help!"
The shouts spread to the distance through the wind and waves.
At this time, the ships that were about to arrive also found the shadows of the ships ahead.
"Report, ships from other territories were found in front!" a crew member reported.
"Do you hear any noise?" The head of the fleet stood on the deck of the main ship and asked left and right.
"Yes, sir, we've heard that someone is shouting for help."
The person in charge was wearing a priest's clothes and said to the people around him: "Since they shouted for help, they should be in danger. Push the boat over and ask what happened."
"yes."
After hearing his orders, the fleet headed towards the shouting.
"Sir, there are sea beasts appearing!" As they got closer, a sailor suddenly said.
"It's okay, our ship is shrouded in divine magic, and we are not afraid of sea beasts." The priest in charge said lightly.
Sure enough, as soon as their ship leaned over, the group of sea beasts immediately spread out to the surroundings and did not dare to lean over again.
"What happened to you?" As the main ship approached the ship to call for help, the person in charge dressed in a priest's robe asked.
"Our ship is broken and will soon sink. Save us!" Seeing that someone really came to ask, and accidentally dispersed the sea beast, the captain quickly shouted for help.
The other crew members also shouted: "Save us, our ship is about to sink!"
Seeing the ships appearing in front of him, they all showed a steady driving look. These people immediately became more confident and their voices of crying for help became more and more terrifying.
"Why don't you let them save you?" He planned to order the rescue immediately, but the priest suddenly saw several other ships drifting on the sea not far away, so he paused and asked.
"They can't protect themselves. Sir, they don't dare to lean over!" the ship shouted.
After looking at the situation over there again, seeing that it was indeed the case, the priest nodded and said to the soldiers around him: "Let the boat go over and let them come up, but be careful."
"yes!"
Then, with their help, the crew members on the ship were rescued.
At this moment, a burst of exclamation suddenly came from not far away. Under the gaze of these people, the ship they had just left had already sunk into the sea.
"Oh my god!" Everyone who saw this changed their faces.
Especially those who had just been rescued on the ship exclaimed: "Bless my God!"
"Sir, fortunately, you and your crew rescued us, otherwise we would have died without a burial place." The captain of the ship who saw this situation thanked the people of the ship very respectfully.
"It's okay. Since you have met it, let's save it!" The pastor smiled faintly.
"We are all adventurers. This time we went to sea to carry out a mission in the territory of Radiga. Fortunately, we met you and your fleet, otherwise we would die for this mission." The captain said gratefully.
"We are from Sarante. I am a pastor. This time I brought people out to perform the mission." said the pastor.
"Sarante? I seem to have heard of it. I heard that you believe in God Romon, right?" The captain's eyes lit up when he heard his introduction.
"Yes, my Lord is the God of Romon." When asked, the pastor replied naturally.
Hearing the pastor's answer, the captain opened his mouth but did not say it, but just sighed secretly.
Just at this moment, another big storm came, and everyone focused on the storm at sea and stopped talking.
