Alcatraz - #294 - Chapter 294 Buddy the Turtle (spend a few monthly passes, recommend them)

“A large-scale wave of undead was discovered one hundred and fifty kilometers behind us. The speed was slightly faster than ours. It will enter the attack radius in an hour and a half!”

I used an undead vision spell and used a skeleton shark as a scout to spy on the enemy’s arrival. When the Wolf King and others heard the news, they all showed solemn expressions. My navigational knowledge was seriously unsatisfactory, so when expressing tactics, I abandoned the usual terms such as nautical miles, knots… and directly used distance units on land.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about doing it more professionally, but when the Wolf King explained it to me:

In navigation, it is stipulated that the arc length of one minute of the earth’s meridian circle is one nautical mile (which is one-sixtieth of the length of the longitude corresponding to one degree of latitude. Note: one degree is equal to sixty). However, since the earth is not a standard sphere, the arc length of the meridian circle is different at different latitudes. This creates the longest and shortest nautical miles. The shortest nautical mile is on the equator, one nautical mile = 1,843 meters. The longest nautical miles are at the North and South Poles, one nautical mile = 1,862 meters.

China, the United States, Britain, France, and Russia have different standards, and there is no internationally recognized length…

Suddenly my head was pounding, and I resolutely rejected the professional suggestion. I still used a relatively amateur method to easily determine the enemy’s position, and it was also more convenient for me, the captain, to command.

There are no skilled naval personnel on board the Golden Princess, so I can only do my best to get it on board. After all, I can operate the Golden Princess faster than others.

The Skeleton Whale Knights behind us have been chasing us for five days. Relying on the Golden Princess’s ability to teleport, they were able to break out easily every time we were in danger. However, the Golden Princess’ teleportation can only be used seven times a day, and the longest distance is only 120 kilometers. This is not enough for the Skeleton Whale Knights, who have dense scouts and can find our direction at any time, to escape their grasp. . The only way to delay this hopeless war is to circle around on the sea.

“The time for these damn big whales to catch up is getting shorter and shorter. Next time we should simply give them a head-on counterattack.”

Yai Zhenfu was not optimistic about the Wolf King’s bold words and advised cautiously: “Those skeleton whales are really too powerful and there are too many of them. Once they are entangled, everyone will end up miserable. I still follow what Wang Lin said. Keep dragging, everyone will be teleported away, and we don’t have to fight this battle at all.”

Only Yan Tianhong remained silent. She was highly skilled in martial arts but not a military expert. Therefore, although she was considered one of the four commanders of the Golden Princess, she never interfered with military matters.

The Humpback Dragon also arranged an interception force. When the densely packed group of sea snakes, one kilometer wide and more than a hundred kilometers long, appeared on the route of the Golden Princess, I decisively gave up my plan to escape into the jurisdiction of the other generals under the three underworld gods. , before I escape from the Humpback Dragon’s sphere of influence, I will be surrounded by endless ocean monsters, and the Humpback Dragon has blocked all escape routes.

Every day, people died in battle on the Golden Princess, and there were also adventurers who used the teleportation magic circle to escape to Baffin Island. Now the number of people on the ship has dropped sharply to 500. The number of people has been reduced. I have removed most of the unnecessary equipment and reduced a lot of weight, which has slightly increased the speed of the Golden Princess, but it is still a little slower than the speed of the Skeleton Whale Knights.

I retracted my vision of the undead. The skeleton shark I controlled just now accidentally got a little closer, and was noticed by a skeleton whale. With a flick of its tail, the skeleton shark was beaten into bone fragments. This skull shark was only temporarily captured by me as a scout. Its combat power is worse than that of ordinary sharks, and it has no resistance at all.

“In ten minutes, we will teleport again. I hope we can throw them away this time. What is left of the Golden Princess is the last instantaneous ability today.”

I informed the whole ship of the battle plan, and then fell into a spiritual state of extreme silence. The Tunguska Grimoire slowly opened in the hearts of the dead warriors. The Golden Princess shook slightly. Everyone present had experienced such changes more than once. .

Although there is still the sea outside the ship’s side, we have already left the original place for more than a hundred kilometers, and a small island faintly appears on the horizon in front of us.

“That’s Buddy! Go forward and go to that island.”

Chi Linyi suddenly appeared in the cabin and shouted in surprise. I asked curiously: “Who is Buddy? Is it that island?”

The little girl shouted: “Buddy is not an island. He is a free turtle. He likes to pretend to be an island. We can ask him to help us get rid of those hateful Skeleton Whale Knights.”

“Okay, even if he is a turtle, what can he do to help us? Can he help us cook a pot of turtle soup? No matter how big it is, it can’t deal with so many skeleton whales.”

“What do you know! Bass is one of the fastest creatures on the Sea of ​​Death. As long as we ask him for help, the skeleton whale can’t catch up with us.”

“It? Such a mountain-like thing can be faster than a skeleton whale?”

Chi Linyi said disdainfully: “Badi is one of the seven-headed vehicles of the Three Underworld Gods. If the speed is slow, how could the Three Underworld Gods choose it!”

I shook my head and rejected Chi Linyi’s opinion and said: “It is a subordinate of the Three Underworld Gods. Your father was punished by the Three Underworld Gods. It is impossible for me to take risks. If this tortoise turns against me, my Golden Princess cannot bear it.” live.”

“Do you believe me?”

“There are many things that you can rely on in this world, not including the eyes of a little girl. No matter what kind of relationship you have with it, I will not take this risk.” It’s a joke, I am now being taken over by the general of the three underworld gods. The dragon is chasing after me, and that Adi is one of the seven-headed vehicles of the Three Underworld Gods. Even if there is no adultery between them, I will not take the risk, not to mention that it is a bit weird for this elephant turtle to appear at this time.

“Reverse the course and turn to the west. At least we can drag it on for two more days, and by then there will be only a few people left on the ship…”

I ignored Chi Linyi’s loud shouting, closed my eyes slightly and said to the Wolf King and the others: “You control the navigation for a while first. I want to have a good sleep. I haven’t slept for almost two days and I am very tired. Wait for me Get up and replace Yai and go rest.”
