467, Gunboat test firing thanks to the February ticket for the return of lights
The gunboat continued to move at sea.
Windsor did not order the firing after approaching the target, but conducted the first round of test firing before the gunboat reached the seaport.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The muzzle flashed with fire, and the shells flew out of the muzzle into the distance, and finally fell into the blue sea.
"Is this the legendary artillery?"
Elizabeth Lane was invited by Sean to watch the ceremony. When she saw the artillery fire, she exclaimed:
"The power of the artillery is indeed great! It requires at least a bronze-level warrior to throw the iron ball at such a speed! But Sean, I have a doubt."
"What doubts?"
"Where does the energy of these artillery come from?" Elizabeth touched the barrel of the artillery in confusion: "I didn't feel any fighting spirit or magic power fluctuations?"
"This..." Sean organized his thoughts and replied: "You can understand it as a manifestation of the power of nature. To put it in a simpler way, you can think of it as a kind of weapon used by humans.
New type of magic crystal."
"Oh, that's it!" Elizabeth suddenly realized: "He is indeed the man I like, his experience is different!"
Sean: "..."
...
The gunboat continued to move forward and officially arrived at the seaport ten minutes later.
On the shores on both sides of the outlet, there is a huge ship stranded here.
This ship ran aground on the shore on a stormy night three or four years ago. Because the damage was too serious, it was abandoned here until now.
Windsor's target was this stranded ship.
After crossing the estuary, Windsor ordered the helmsman to turn the rudder, and the oarsmen in the oars room also slid the oars, and the gunboat gradually became parallel to the stranded ship.
Windsor estimated the distance, which was about two nautical miles, within the gunboat's range.
So Windsor commanded the gunboat to stop, and commanded the gunners on the side of the ship who were ready to light the cannon.
The sound of "Bang! Bang! Bang!" sounded again, and black shells were fired in the direction of the stranded ship.
The last test firing was just to test the performance of the artillery, and this time it was a real test firing.
However, because of the first time, the angles of the cannonballs were uneven. Only a small part of the cannonballs accurately hit the ship stranded on the shore. The other cannonballs were either fired too high, too low, or missed.
Anyway, they all fell into the sea.
…
Sean rode the [Activated Broom] and flew on the top of the gunboat mast, holding a telescope to look at the gunboats in the distance.
But seeing this scene, Sean couldn't help but shook his head: "Wendsor, it doesn't feel good! The hit rate is even less than one tenth. If we officially fight in that kind of mobile environment, our hit rate will be even higher.
It’s low.”
"There is nothing we can do about it." Windsor scratched his head in embarrassment: "After all, none of us have experience in ocean shooting. People who know how to sail don't know how to use artillery, and people who know how to shoot artillery don't know how to sail.
Sir, it would be great if you could gather a few people who know both!"
Hearing Windsor's words, Sean's eyes lit up as he was flying in the sky: "You reminded me!"
There are many [Pirate] minions in the Hearthstone card library, such as [South Sea Shipwright], [Bloodsail Raider], [South Sea Captain], etc. They must be good at using artillery to fight on the sea!
So Sean controlled the [Activated Broom] and landed back on the deck: "Wendsall, I will call... tonight to transfer a group from the territory and let them join the naval force to command!"
"Well, my lord." Windsor replied.
...
…
After the test firing, the gunboat returned along its original route.
The wind is favorable when you arrive, and you can move forward quickly with the sails fully open.
When we returned, the wind was against the wind, so the gunboat furled its sails, the oarsmen in the oars room began to row, and the gunboat sailed against the wind.
Earl Powell was very knowledgeable about sea navigation. At this time, he went to the oar room to analyze the speed of the ship's progress.
Sean stayed on the deck and stared at the system panel in a daze. He currently only has a level 3 [South Sea Captain] in his card library. Should he exchange a few more for Windsor at the Anima Store?
At this moment, a group of white shadows descended from the sky and landed on the deck, startling Sean.
Looking carefully, it turned out to be a group of albatross, which made Sean look surprised.
The sailors working on the deck took out the food prepared in advance and fed it to the albatrosses.
These albatross are not afraid of people, and they surround the sailors to grab food.
Seeing this group of albatross, Windsor smiled: "Sir, this group of albatross will fly over to greet us every time we go to sea. They are very friendly."
Sean was not surprised here, but said: "What surprised me is that I didn't expect the albatross to be so big!"
The albatross in front of you are as small as 70 centimeters tall, and the big ones are even 1.4 meters tall!
There used to be a card in Hearthstone called [Albatross of Doom], and everyone called it Dove or Goose.
Where are the pigeons or geese? This is a huge thing for pigeons and geese!
Sean also took out bread from the [Dimensional Backpack] and wanted to feed these albatross.
Although these albatross had never seen Sean, they still gathered around him for the sake of food.
The black and white kitten Kate on Sean's shoulder is a feline. Due to the natural "bloodline suppression", many albatrosses are afraid to approach Sean.
But Kate was too young, and the food provided by Sean was the most exquisite, so there were still many albatross surrounding Sean.
Sean tore the bread into small pieces and threw them on the deck, where the albatrosses came to peck at them.
Looking at these albatross, Sean suddenly had an idea!
The card [Albatross of Doom] can be redeemed in the Anima Store.
【Albatross of Doom】
Quality: ordinary
3 mana 4/3
Deathrattle: Shuffle two 1/1 Albatross into your opponent's deck.
Race:Beast
Card description: In the legend, damaging it will bring bad luck. So just touch its head gently, okay?
...
Sean exchanged this follower and let it mix with the albatross group. Maybe it will have a miraculous effect!
After all, after the war begins, just Lunala's female eagle or Khadgar's raven flying over the enemy's sky to conduct reconnaissance will be in considerable danger.
After all, there are almost no birds like eagles and ravens in the sea, and a solitary one can easily alert the enemy.
But [Doom Albatross] is different! [Doom Albatross] can take the albatross group with it to the enemy fleet, and no enemy will be suspicious of the common albatross at sea.
Chapter completed!
