10 AM, the navy units in charge of monitoring the four battle groups each sent back the news that no small boats had broken away.
Most of the small boats followed the 'script' and gathered toward the 5th battle group.
When Zheng He received the news, he let out a long sigh of relief. Obviously, he could not hope that the enemy would 100% rush to gather with the 5th battle group. To prevent accidents, he arranged the navy unit to monitor the enemy.
If some smart soldiers tried to escape, the navy unit would stopped them. The entire plan was watertight.
”Send down my orders; prepare to reel in the net.”
”Yes!”
In terms of ocean communication, the Feng Birds from the Military Intelligence Division were not safe. One storm would blow these little fellows away. Hence, the voyage squadron similarly used tamed seagulls.
After rturning from Atlantis, Ouyang Shuo also brought back a new mysterious communication tool; it was a communication conch. The Atlantis people carved mystical patterns on the inside of the conch, placing a green magnetic ohlite inside, and turning it into a short distance communication tool.
Within one thousand nautical miles, they could clearly send and receive information.
Regretfully, it could only be used at sea. If useable on land, it could reach a radius of 10 kilometers.
If not, in a wilderness where all communication channels were blocked, the communication conch would be a killer weapon.
Amongst the treasures that the Divine Martial Guards had gathered, there were hundreds of these. Ouyang Shuo kept two and was ready to give them to Bing'er. She would definitely like this item.
As for the remaining ones, Ouyang Shuo handed them all over to Zheng He.
...
After the order was given, the four navy units swiftly pushed forward.
Meanwhile, the current Spanish Squadron was nervously sailing toward land under the protection of the 5th battle group. 20 odd Spanish galleons gathered six thousand boats around them.
Just at this moment, a roar sounded from above the squadron.
Looking up, they could only see a dolphin looking flying device.
”What's that, is that a dolphin or a plane?” The mouths of the players gaped open.
”Oh my god!”
”Is that the enemy's scouting drone?” someone asked uncertainly.
”Scouting drone? What a joke, with how backward they are?” Some people did not believe it, ”The backward easterners are still using such cumbersome cannons, how could they build planes?”
Cough. Someone reminded them, ”Do not forget, Qiyue Wuyi completed the Lost City of Atlantis Storyline Quest. Just because easterners cannot make it does not mean that the Atlantis people could not.”
”....”
The players instantly fell mute.
”Who cares? He definitely has nefarious intentions; shoot it down!” Pepe said.
”That's right blow his mother; let's see if he still dares to be so arrogant.” someone agreed.
The Lord players at the side looked at these two players like they were looking at idiots.
”Why?” Pepe felt annoyed and rushed, ”Quickly order them to fire!”
An older Lord simply could not watch on, face palming, ”Brother, do you think this is real life? Which cannon has the ability to shoot a plane hundreds of meters up int the air?”
One must know that the modern-day world only developed the first anti-aircraft in the 20th century. Trying to use a 16th century cannon to attack something in the air? It would not even hit a balloon.
”How would we know if we do not try?” Pepe was a stubborn and inflexible person.
”Then I'll try and let you give up.”
”Fire!”
As he ordered, the cannons fired in unison.
The results were obvious; it was useless. After all, the 16th century cannons used solid cannonballs. They flew out of the barrel, flying less than 200 meters, forming an arc, before starting to fall.
From its direction, it was about to fall onto the surrounding boats.
”Dodge!” someone exclaimed.
”**!” some people scolded out.
It was too late; the cannonball fell toward the boats at a shocking speed. Then, it blew open a gaping hole. Instantly, three boats were destroyed, and hundreds of people died.
The Spanish people wanted to cry but no tears would come out. Meanwhile, Pepe felt a little embarrassed.
”Whose mother ordered to fire? I'll kill you!” The players who survived scolded, their hearts had nearly jumped out from fear.
”Forget it!” The Spanish players gave up hope.
