Hearing the piercing alarm sound, the crowd who had been enjoying the tranquility after the storm was awakened again.

The fleet that had just relaxed seemed like a giant beast that had suddenly been awakened.

Countless crew members poured out of the cabin like a tide and ran quickly to their respective jobs.

Commander Madison didn't need to waste any words. He just stood at his command post like a needle in the sea. Everyone below knew what they should do and who they should cooperate with. In an instant, the entire fleet was like a clockwork gear machine.

The gears meshed and operated on their own, turning into a real war machine. Armed merchant ships and warships began to form battle formations.

"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder!!"

Under the control of the crew, the fleet dexterously drew a circle and sailed in the direction where the debris floated.

Soon, the crew members on the fleet had seen with their own eyes the scene of the merchant ship's disaster.

The damaged sailboat was torn apart and floating quietly on the sea. Flags, broken boards, and cargo in wooden boxes were scattered everywhere, but not even a body could be found.

"It looks like a Gallic merchant ship."

Some experienced sailors have already recognized it through the style of the ship and the broken flag. It is a merchant ship belonging to the Gallic Chicken Kingdom in the Entente Alliance. However, they don't know what happened to them. The ship is not much different from being shattered into pieces.

"Your Excellency, Captain, something seems to be wrong."

On the only warship, Navigator Kempf frowned.

A vague enemy has appeared in his mind, but he is a little unsure. After all, it is a threat that ocean-going ships may encounter in the deep sea. Their current location is on a mature shipping route and is not too far from the mainland.

"Level 2 alert!"

After hearing what the navigator said, Commander Madison himself naturally had some guesses and issued the order decisively.

The order was passed to the entire fleet. At this time, regardless of whether they were combatants or not, the crew took out their long and short muskets to load ammunition to deal with enemies that might appear at any time.

While everyone on the boat was nervously preparing.

I don't know when, a layer of mist gradually began to rise on the sea, and the visibility was constantly decreasing. After the storm, it should be sunny, but the sea in everyone's field of vision became darker.

"Click, click, click..."

At this moment, a strange mechanical sound suddenly came from Commander Madison's arms.

Kempf, who was standing behind Commander Madison, looked over suspiciously and saw that Commander Madison's uncle's expression changed, and he took out a silver pocket watch-like thing from his arms with a solemn expression.

Open the silver flip cover, and in the middle of the complex mechanical dial, a green gemstone hand rotates leisurely with a continuous clicking sound, and then slowly stops at the four o'clock direction.

"Level 1 combat readiness, four o'clock direction, artillery preparation!"

Commander Madison's order was passed to the entire fleet.

Although Kempf couldn't figure out what happened, he didn't dare to ask casually at this time.

During the war, there were no distinctions between uncles and nephews on the ship, only superiors and subordinates. If he delayed the fight because of his opening his mouth, Kempf would not forgive himself even if his uncle Madison did not punish him.

On the other side, on the cruise ship, sailors Alvin and Sanda also took out mechanical watches of the same style.

Their mechanical watches are not as exquisite as Commander Madison's and are only made of brass, but they still have the basic functions. The difference lies in accuracy and distance sensing.

"It's really a sea monster!"

"How could a sea monster be willing to come to a place like this offshore?"

"Our sea monster pointers were too inaccurate. Fortunately, Commander Madison discovered them in advance."

Sailor Ivan held his firearm tightly and was on guard. At the same time, he was also complaining about his captain. I don’t know what the captain was thinking, but he actually teamed up with this caravan to go to Shanghai.

"In a place like the offshore, it is considered lucky to encounter a small sea monster with a size of about thirty meters."

"How can there be a large sea monster, let alone a giant sea monster that is rarely seen in the deep sea?"

"And thanks to the fact that we were once members of the Royal Navy, otherwise we wouldn't even be issued this brass-level precision sea monster pointer, so we'd better be content!"

Sanda saw clearly that the Kraken Pointer was an indispensable alchemical tool for ocean navigation.

It is a tool developed by the Alchemy Union commissioned by the Royal Navy Command. It can confirm the existence of sea monsters based on their unique sound waves. As for the level of sea monsters, it cannot be detected by the sea monster pointer. To identify the level of sea monsters,

The basic skills of a good captain.

In continental Europe, all kinds of mysticism, knight training methods, and strange legends are also regarded as taboo knowledge.

Ordinary people on the mainland may know the legends of demons and vampires. However, knowledge about the deep sea can only be learned from the mouths of old sailors after joining the glorious royal fleet.

All kinds of occult knowledge involving the hidden world are taboo knowledge that various secular countries and churches jointly restrict large-scale dissemination.

Because mystical knowledge often involves power, without corresponding basic knowledge and guidance from a guide, the consequences of wantonly exploring the unknown are often disastrous.

As for other weird and mysterious knowledge that is difficult to distinguish, it is not surprising that there is a terrifying evil god hiding behind it.

Once the mysterious power gets out of control, it will cause irresistible terror, and it is not impossible that an entire city will be buried with it.

In the naval training camp, outstanding sailors have the opportunity to become Royal Sea Knights.

This sea knight is just like the previous continental knights. They are excellent warriors canonized by nobles. They will be awarded the knight's secret skills and master extraordinary powers. Sanda and Ivan were once members of the Royal Navy. Unfortunately, they did not pass the examination.

However, as retired members of the Royal Navy, they still received a sea monster pointer as a gift from the Royal Navy. With this sea monster pointer, they applied for sailor jobs, and their salary was twice as high as that of ordinary sailors.

"Wow, when I was at the Admiralty, I didn't meet the sea monster, but now I meet it. Destiny is such a fucking bitch!!" Ivan couldn't help complaining. The basic requirement for becoming a knight in the Royal Navy is that he must

Have experience fighting sea monsters.

"Be careful, they are coming -"

After hearing Sanda's prompt, Ivan turned around and discovered the traces of the sea monster. After all, this big guy did not hide his consciousness at all.

Accompanied by the sound of huge splashing water, a ten-meter-long tentacle rose into the sky and landed hard on the deck. Countless suckers firmly grasped the cruise ship. On the sea surface, several more huge tentacles appeared later.
