Chapter 145: Encountering in the Storm

The "Mangra" commanded by Francis is an iron-armored warship with a length of 91 meters, a width of 18 meters, a displacement of 7,200 tons and a maximum speed of 15.4 knots. It is the largest "Mangra" class warship in the Birea Empire. It is powered by three large magic circles, two of which are used to provide power, and the remaining one can create magic shields around the battleship. In addition, thick armor plates, four dual-equipped large-caliber magic crystal cannons and many small secondary cannons make the "Mangra" a formidable existence on the sea.

It can be said that the Mangra is one of the highest-level masterpieces of humans in Dowlivan that combine magic and science with master Rez, which makes every occupant on it proud and proud.

As the captain, Francis was also very unhappy by the emotions of his subordinates, but not long after, the report from the magician team responsible for monitoring the weather immediately made him depressed.

"Where are we now?" After throwing the report casually, Francis asked the eldest mate standing next to him.

"Near the coastline of Kelberg Province. IMHO, sir. We are just wandering around like this."

Francis sighed and rubbed his forehead, do you think I thought? If it weren't for the mission briefing that fishermen had seen huge sea monsters appearing nearby, they would come here to blow the wind. It's a pity that I should have enjoyed many beauties in swimsuits on the sunny beach…”

"Cough" the first mate coughed hard.

Looking at the rich expressions of the surrounding subordinates with "Although I'm used to it, I'll still be very embarrassed every time I'm used to it." Francis leaned back without caring and said that, notifying the 'Alchemist' and 'Royal Guards' to prepare for the storm. Also, I remember that there are island groups in this area? There are reefs everywhere, which is really not suitable for navigation. We just stopped in place and searched for it after the storm and returned directly."

"Yes, sir."

After a while, a storm came upon this small fleet of ironclad ships and two frigates. However, the warships are no longer as fragile as the wooden ships before. Although these three-search warships shaking very hard, they are not damaged at all. ~

Just as Francis was drowsy in his chair, the liaison officer next to him woke him up, and Jicrem, the captain of the Royal Guard, asked for a call."

"Oh, is that guy okay?"-Piao Tianwenxue--No jumping. Francis stood up and walked to the crystal ball used for contact and clicked it. Suddenly, a three-dimensional male upper body projected and appeared, "Oh, why are you calling me? Do you agree to share with me your gongkou book hidden under the captain's bed?"

"I'm so silly that you will become the captain of the armored warship? Is the daughter of the Imperial Navy Minister a gang with you?" Jicrem spat and said seriously, "Commander Francis, the observation room on my ship just reported that a fleet appeared behind us, and they seemed to be sailing west. However, due to the bad weather, the other party's identity was unknown."

"We have not received any reports of merchant ships booking to sail nearby." Francis put away his hippie smile and said seriously, "Do you think?"

"Maybe the fleet passing by nearby is preparing to go to Kelberg's harbor to avoid the storm but does not run over the head, right? "Nothing is a lot of words," Jikrem said uncertainly, "After all, even pirates will not be dispatched in such weather."

"How much myopia is needed to miss a harbor city?" Francis sweated for a moment, "Are we the other party?" - Piao Tianwen - don't jump.

"I don't know. The weather is so bad."

"Okay, let's turn around and face it." Francis decided, "If it's a lost merchant ship, take them back to the harbor. Of course, if it's another fleet... For safety reasons, the whole team formed a battle formation and turned on the magic shield, ready to fight at any time."

"Francis, will you make a big deal?" Jicrem dissuaded, "The magic shield cannot be turned on casually. That thing is simply a money-burning machine."

"You don't want to write the report, so don't worry."

"...You really have an affair with the daughter of the Minister of the Navy."

After cutting off the contact, Francis immediately ordered the observation room to pay attention to the sea surface in the east, and then the three warships shook at the other side with a sky blue water shield.

After a while.

"This is the observation room. Captain, we have already had the other fleet, which is located at two o'clock in the direction of our ship, with a distance of about 3,000." The crystal ball in front of the liaison officer rang.

"Continue to monitor each other." Francis said, turning to the helmsman, "keep the course and speed unchanged, and just parallel to them. If those people were really lost caravans, they would definitely take the initiative to rely on them after seeing the light of our shields on the dark sea."

The first mate was sweating profusely and said, "This is why you opened the shield?"

"Well, it's mainly for protection. Well, it's for protection. What if the other party is a pirate?"

"...Are you going to rob the pirates of naval warships? You have read too many pirate novels, sir."

The sound from the crystal ball interrupted the first mate's complaint. This was the observation room. The other party had already left us and was adjusting the course. A flash appeared on the deck of the other party's ship... It was a magic crystal cannon bombardment-"

"Retaliation" Francis immediately ordered, "The entire fleet is promoted to the maximum battle speed, immediately turn right to seize the position."

The four main guns of the Mangra emitted a terrifying flash as bright as daylight, and the huge magic bullets rushed towards the unknown fleet in the distance with other relatively smaller roars.

But the opponent's attack has come first.

A series of splashes rose around the fleet, and only the shield of the Royal Guards shook violently.

"Royal Guards were hit" Observatory report, "The shield is still under maintenance and no damage"

"Good guy, Jicrem," said Francis, "I thought I could take good care of his daughter after he died."

"Francis, you forgot to turn off the public communications." A voice of Kicklem was angry from the crystal ball, "And you just talked about a woman for me?"

"Oh, I'm sacrificing my life."

"If we were facing each other, your eyes must have floated to the side now, right? Nothing is a lot of words on Novel Network."

"Ahem" The first mate standing aside interrupted the two, "The two commanders are in the battle now."

"This is the observation room. The enemy fleet is accelerating and turning right, and they also raise shields. Our shelling strikes... Our main gun hits a shot, and the shield of an enemy ship is broken."

"Very good" Francis stood up excitedly when he heard this, "notify the gunners, who will send that guy into the sea next time I will sink it, and I will invite whom I can drink a week's flower wine."

"The other party may not be the kind of ship that can be killed in one shot..." the first mate reminded.

"It will always sink when I come a few more times." Francis sat again, "The whole fleet continued to turn right and attack the liaison officer, and called for reinforcements to the nearby Imperial warships. I want to see if it is the person who dared to make trouble in the Imperial territorial waters?"

"No, Captain. The magic communication cannot be connected due to the storm."

"Is that your thing?"-Piao Tianwenxue--do not jump.

"Captain, you've made a spell..."

The opponent's second wave of shelling came. This time, Francis quickly determined that the opponent did not have the calibration equipment configured, because most of the attacks still fell into the sea.

Only the Mangra's shield was hit by two shots.

"Yo, Francis, are you dead?" Jicrem's laughter came from the crystal ball, "If I die, I will raise the handsome flag."

"Farting" Francis, who was so confused that he fell, got up in a mess and said, "I will not die until the daughter of the Harris family, Alicia, proposed to her on her 16th birthday."

"So you like small girls... By the way, is your soul slightness worthy of others? And the age difference is too big, right? There are many words on Wu Novel Network"

Francis immediately looked sacred and his age was not a problem..."

"Character is the key." Jikrem interrupted immediately, "So, you a slutty uncle, don't be foolish."

When the two of them had become nonsensical again and the captain of the Alchemist expressed silence, the observation room of the Mangela was inserted into the dialogue in time and the second wave of our shelling arrived. A warship on the other side caught fire and could see clearly the number and model of the enemy. A total of six frigate-level warships belonged to... unknown, the other side did not hang any flags. Captain, the enemy began to slow down and turn around to the west."

"Do you plan to risk your life to escape into the island group full of reefs? They wouldn't think this is the kind of place where you can come and go when you want to come, right? No novel website has a lot of words." Francis waved his hand and said loudly, "Catch up and give them some color."

"Sir, this is too dangerous," said the first mate hurriedly.

"I won't let the fleet really chase in." Francis waved his hand, "but I won't tolerate their provocation of the empire's majesty to tell me where are you standing now?"

"On the battleship of the Birea Empire Navy, the warship of the Mangra." The first mate said strangely.

“So what does that mean?”

The first mate understood, and he immediately put on his pose and said that I was an Imperial Navy soldier."

"Hit louder, I didn't hear it"

"I am an Imperial Navy soldier-"

"Very good." Francis nodded with satisfaction and pointed outside, "There is a malicious fleet that invaded the Empire's territorial waters and even launched an attack on the Empire's warships. As an Imperial Navy soldier, should you do something now?"

"Take them into the sea"

The public communication of the crystal ball was always on, and the officers and soldiers of the entire fleet immediately burst out with a roar of shocking sound and sent them to the sea-"
