Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

On this day, the sea was sunny and windy, and it was a good weather for going out to sea. Five small magic warships of the Condor Navy set off from the Ryukyu Islands and sailed side by side on the vast sea.

Since the capture of the Ryukyu Islands, the Condor Navy has been based on the Ryukyu Islands and has been exploring the surrounding seas.

In the Condor Empire, every time a new island is discovered or captured, a reward will be received from Ning Yuan, so the enthusiasm of the Condor Navy is very high.

Different from the army, the battle order of the Condor Navy is based on battleships. Each battle team is composed of five small mana battleships, and each mana battleship is loaded with 200 marines and 100 mermaid warriors.

During the exploration process, in order to avoid encountering danger and destroying the entire army, the Condor Navy stipulates that each combat team can only have four mana warships directly participating in the battle at a time, and the fifth ship will observe the enemy's situation from behind. Once the situation is found to be wrong, It will return immediately and report the specific situation to the rear.

Ji Yun and Wu Qing are the captain and deputy captain of the Flying Fish mana battleship respectively. Ji Yun is in charge of commanding the 200 Condor Navy on the ship, and Wu Qing is in charge of commanding the 100 mermaid soldiers. They went to sea this time. He was ordered to explore the East China Sea.

The fleet sailed continuously at sea for two days, and they found nothing except for a few large rock piles that could barely be called small islands.

Looking at the endless distance, Ji Yun asked listlessly: "Old Wu, why do you think my lord is so keen on exploring the far sea? It seems that you mermaids don't like these places very much."

"It's not that we mermaids don't like the open sea, but that we can't live without land.

Don't look at our water quality is very good, we can stay in the water for several months, but to be honest, if it is not necessary, no one would like to soak in the water all day, we prefer to rest on land.

Let me tell you, if we didn't have the mana battleship, if you let us swim to explore, no matter how rich the reward is, we wouldn't do it.

As for the hobby of the lord, to be honest, I don’t know much about it. The far sea is full of sea water, and I can’t see any schools of fish. Occasionally, I come across a foothold or a pile of rocks with no grass growing. It’s not even an island. What is worth developing?"

Wu Qing answered while shaking his head.

Not only is Ji Yun, who is a human race, unable to understand Ning Yuan's plan, but even Wu Qing, who is a mermaid race, is also unwilling to explore the endless far sea. In their opinion, the offshore sea with rich land and fish resources is more worthy of them. to scramble.

Because of the existence of the Lost Continent, Ning Yuan felt that if there are any big secrets in the game that have not been discovered by the players, then these secrets are likely to be hidden in the endless ocean.

Only the boundless ocean can hide these secrets, so he is so obsessed with exploring the ocean.

In fact, Ning Yuan's persistence is not aimless, but because he discovered a little secret.

On the world map given to the player lord by the system, except for the territories of those known countries on the big earth, many oceans are in an unexplored state of fog.

Ning Yuan accidentally discovered that when a Condor Navy fleet deviated from the channel,

The fog on that part of the world map disappeared in an instant.

The disappearance of the fog means that the area has been successfully explored. Since the fog will disappear due to exploration, then their existence must be meaningful. Then what does Goddess Nuwa want to hide with them?

Once curiosity is seduced, if you can't get an accurate answer, it will be quite uncomfortable.

Therefore, in order to satisfy his curiosity and make himself less uncomfortable scratching his head, Ning Yuan formulated a strategy to explore the ocean.

Just as Ji Yun and Wu Qing were chatting without saying a word, a small island suddenly appeared in front of the fleet.

Looking from a distance, you can find a touch of green on the island.

Green represents fresh water and vegetation on the island, and with these two things, there is likely to be other life on the island.

After seeing that touch of green, Ji Yun and Wu Qing immediately regained their spirits. After they left a mana warship behind to observe the situation, the other four warships headed straight for the island.

As the distance got closer, the whole picture of the island soon came into view.

There are some unknown trees growing on the island, there are a few simple cabins near the coast, and there are several fishing boats parked on the shore.

After finding a large ship approaching, more than a dozen men ran out of the wooden house. After they boarded the fishing boat, they paddled desperately away from the Condor Navy.

Seeing that the residents on the island wanted to escape, Ji Yun immediately commanded the mana battleship to chase after them.

In order to catch people alive, Ji Yun did not let the navy soldiers on the mana battleship launch a long-range attack, he handed over this task to the mermaid warriors on the battleship.

Because staying on the battleship was really boring, Wu Qing went out in person and led the mermaid warriors into the sea.

After surrounding the fishing boat from under the sea, Wu Qing suddenly showed a mischievous smile, and the mermaid warriors understood it. They grabbed the bottom of the boat from all directions, and then slammed into it.

Wu Qing originally wanted to scuttle the fishing boat, and then play a game of big fish catching small fish with the people on board for a while in the water.

But when he hacked the bottom of the ship several times with an ax made of blue iron, his face suddenly changed.

Looking at the blue iron ax in his hand, and at the unscathed bottom of the ship, Wu Qing's heart skipped a beat.

"Stop playing, capsize the boat quickly, and bring me back with the boat and people."

Looking at the mermaid warriors who were still clanging against the bottom of the boat, Wu Qing gave the order with a serious face.

Their mermaid clan has a pivotal position in the Condor Navy. After Ning Yuan formulated the ocean strategy, he loved them even more.

The reason why they were able to get these treatment was entirely because they could scuttle the enemy's warships into the water. Without their escort, the warships of the Condor Navy would not be able to leave the port at all.

Wu Qing originally thought that they were the overlords in the ocean, because no matter how huge the warship was, they could scuttle it.

But the fishing boats above his head woke him up suddenly. It turned out that the mermaids were not omnipotent in the ocean. It turned out that there really were their unsinkable boats in this world.

Wu Qing knew that this was a very important discovery, which might change the pattern of naval battles in the future, so he didn't dare to be negligent. After overturning the fishing boat and knocking out the people on board, he immediately lost control of both the people and the boat. We dragged them back together.

After returning to the battleship and explaining the specific situation to Ji Yun, the two immediately had the captives woken up, and then conducted a surprise interrogation.

When the two got some information from the captives, they felt the seriousness of the matter, so they decided to return to the voyage immediately and report the discovery to the higher authorities.
