In the Dead Sea area below the hull of the Blood Sail, a sunken ship whose hull had just been repaired was pulled by the power of death and slowly floated up from the bottom of the sea.
The ghosts of the dead sailors gradually gathered around the hull and gradually integrated into this huge steel creation.
Some of the undead souls integrated into the hull still have flesh and form, and some are just translucent ghosts, but they are all integrated into the hull of the ship like butter melted on an iron plate.
However, although they are all integrated in the same way, the effects brought by corpses and ghosts are not the same.
After being integrated into the hull, the body with the entity will further repair the damage on the hull, while the ghost will make the rust on the hull caused by the erosion of the dead air fall off.
Although the erosion of the power of death allowed the hull to repair most of the damage, the holes and bullet marks caused by artillery fire and bombs have not been repaired, and because of the erosion of the death air, the hull is covered with rust, making it look like
It's like it has sunk for dozens or hundreds of years.
But thanks to the repairs made by the corpses and ghosts integrated into it, not only the rust on the hull is gradually falling off, but the holes and craters have also been smoothed and filled.
As a large number of undead were integrated into the ship, it gradually became like a new ship just leaving the factory, although this ship can indeed be called a new ship.
In fact, this is indeed a new ship.
As the only type of battleship planned by the Italian Navy after the Treaty of Washington, the Veneto, the first ship of the Veneto class, began construction in 1934 and was not officially completed and commissioned until 1940.
Its second ship, the Littorio, was similar. Construction started in 1934 and was not completed until 1940, when it joined the Italian Navy.
Before this naval battle occurred, as the flagship of the Italian Navy in the Port of Taranto, the Littorio had only been in service for less than three months and was a completely new ship.
However, it is quite ironic that such a new ship, which took the Italians six years to build, was sunk less than three months after it was put into service.
As a battleship, Littorio's performance is actually not bad. Considering that the Italian Navy does not need long-term maritime operations, although it does not have strong endurance, it has a super-high speed of 31 knots and
Excellent protection.
Moreover, in terms of muzzle penetration power, the 15-inch main gun equipped by the Veneto class is ranked third in the world after the Yamato-class 460 and Iowa 406, although its barrel life is only half of that of similar naval guns.
, but it is still a very good weapon.
It can be said that the Veneto class had the strongest comprehensive performance among the battleships in service around the world around 1940. It was also the best representative of Europe's new battleships. It was often regarded as the number one in Europe and the top five powerful battleships in the world.
In the original history of World War II, the No. 1 and No. 2 ships of the Veneto class survived until the war before being demolished, and also participated in the Battle of Cape Matapan, the First and Second Battle of Sirte Bay, and other Mediterranean Sea battles.
During the war, only the No. 3 ship Roma was sunk after being hit by a German radio-guided bomb in its ammunition depot.
However, now, the Littorio has become the first battleship to be sunk in this war, and Chen Mo, who knows all this, can't help but lament the impermanence of fate.
Gu Meng
But that's okay. One of Italy's latest battleships is a pretty good material, and the other battleships sunk in this naval battle are enough for him to use to conduct experiments on summoning ship spirits.
As a large number of undead merged, the repaired Littorio jumped out of the water, caused a wave, and then lowered the anchor and anchored on the side of the Bloodsail.
In the captain's room of the Blood Sail, Chen Mo had already started the summoning ceremony.
With the help of the underworld breath extracted from the Blood Sail's domain, the huge resentment and death energy gathered by countless sunk ships were gathered by Chen Mo into the Blood Sail's power furnace, and were purified and transformed.
Afterwards, it turned into pure necromancy power and was instilled into the magic circle in front of him.
A large amount of undead power gathered together and was transformed into a complex spell model through the magic circle, which appeared in the summoning circle.
As the spell model took shape, the hull of the Littorio docked on the side of the Bloodsail began to glow with a layer of fluorescence, and became brighter as the spell model operated.
If someone could see all this at this time, they would see a giant steel ship shining like a torch on the silent and dark sea, reflecting the surrounding thick fog into a pale white color, and even the other ship beside it.
The giant ship was also covered in a layer of white light.
Seeing the spell taking shape in the summoning array, Chen Mo knew that as long as he continued to promote the operation of the spell model and instilled the energy transformed by the spell model into the Littorio nearby, he could transform it into a ship spirit.
But he didn't intend to summon it directly. Instead, he waved to the crystal ball placed on a magic instrument, drawing out the golden light and instilling the spell model in the summoning array.
among.
The golden stream of light obviously conflicted with the spell model in the magic circle. Just a little bit of it caused a violent reaction like a ladle of water in a frying pan, as if it was about to explode.
Chen Mo seemed to have expected this. He adjusted several working magic instruments around him, changed their functions, and immediately extracted a large amount of black smoke from the spell model.
As the black smoke is drawn out, the spell model gradually stabilizes, and with the injection of golden light, the effect of the spell is quickly changed.
The change in the spell's effect also affected the Littorio nearby, and the fluorescence emitted by its hull gradually changed from pale to golden.
The atmosphere that was originally full of terror and gloominess gradually became sacred, as if the summoned spirit was originally a wraith, but now it was transformed into a heroic spirit.
Seeing that the spell was taking effect, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction. At the same time, he started another magic instrument, injecting the extracted black mist into it and storing it. At the same time, he accelerated the guidance of the golden stream of light, allowing it to be fully instilled.
In the spell model.
And with all the golden light flowing into it, the Littorio became even more dazzling under the influence of the spell, as if the entire hull was as dazzling as if it were made of gold.
Under the influence of the spell, the spell model in the summoning array also began to shine brightly, and under Chen Mo's control, it gradually turned into an embryo that was gestating something, and a bit of spirituality was gradually taking shape.
