When the huge ship was falling, the scene seemed to be in slow motion. The hull tilted a little bit, twisted a little bit, but all of this was so unstoppable. The heavier the giant, the greater the potential energy when it collapsed.
A ship has a left railing and a right railing, but it is more appropriate to use the upper and lower railings now. The captain grabbed the upper railing and watched the ship fall in the other direction. The
crew's screams were filled with fear. The windows of the bridge were smashed, and the helmsman and navigator in the bridge fell out with the broken glass shards.
Even the most experienced crew members had no experience in dealing with shipwrecks, and shipwrecks often meant death.
Everything on the deck was rolling to the side that was tilted. The large wooden boxes and ropes slid quickly on the deck, knocking down the already staggering crew members.
The angle between the deck and the sea surface was getting closer and closer to a right angle. A big wave came, and the sea water rushed onto the deck, leaving a terrifying purple liquid on the deck. The purple liquid represented a highly toxic substance and death.
Cannons fell into the sea, and crew members fell into the sea.
The captain saw a man on the sea, a man whose upper body stood above the sea.
Compared with the doomsday ship, the man seemed out of place. No matter how big the waves were, no matter what fell beside him, his body stood firmly on the sea.
That was the water wizard... the water wizard who had just attacked the ship.
The deck and the sea were completely 90 degrees, and the hull lay in the sea.
The captain could clearly see the terrible black and purple sea surface. It was the poison soup of the Scorpio wizard. Once they fell into the poison soup, everyone's life and death would be in the hands of the Scorpio wizard.
The captain originally wanted to resist, but he didn't know when he inhaled a breath of air.
This breath of air was so deadly that the tiny toxins spread around the hull with the water vapor beaten by the waves. As long as you inhale a breath, you will be poisoned by the Scorpio wizard.
Finally, his hand softened and fell from the railing into the sea.
Maybe he could still struggle for a while in front of the Scorpio Wizard, but it was useless. He closed his eyes painfully in the air. The ship sank, and he was doomed.
To die with the ship was the fate of every captain in the war.
His body smashed into the dark purple sea water, and the sea water rushed over immediately, like a sea snake, and drilled into his mouth and nose. The burning heat from his lungs proved how deep the poison was in him.
The captain looked up at the sea, watching the deck getting bigger and closer in his field of vision. The hull turned over completely and trapped him under the deck.
A ship was upside down on the sea, and the bottom of the ship covered with barnacles was exposed.
Rudolph looked at the bottom of the ship from the side, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder made him uncomfortable. This captain was too unrefined. How could there be so many barnacles? If there was a chance, the barnacles and shells on the bottom of the ship must be cleaned up.
The first mate Mackenzie at the bottom of the cabin was almost crazy: "What's going on? What's going on!"
He was standing on the floor just now, and then he stood on the side wall, and he was about to stand on the ceiling.
"First mate! The ship capsized!"
"I know the ship capsized! But how did it capsize? We were not hit by bullets, and it is impossible for it to capsize even if we were hit!"
The alchemical reinforcement array that was just under his feet now appeared above his head. The array was intact. The enemy did not slash the ship, but overturned the ship with some incomprehensible means.
After a few seconds of panic, the first mate Mackenzie suddenly realized the terrible situation he was facing. The doors in the warship were very airtight, and the part of the air sealed in the hull would not be exhausted in a short time. Once the oxygen in the air was used up by the few of them, they would be suffocated to death here.
"Hurry up... No, go to the lower cabin! We have to get out as soon as possible!"
The hull flipped over, and the walls on the doors became high thresholds at this time. The door handle was too high to reach, so one person had to sit on the shoulders of another person to reach the door handle.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!"
In order to avoid fire, the power system in the ship automatically cuts off the power under abnormal circumstances, and there are only some emergency lights in the aisle. In the dim light, the breathing of others became heavier.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but the first mate Mackenzie felt that the air became dirty and he was a little short of oxygen.
When they climbed to the second floor with great effort and were about to see the dawn, they suddenly felt the hull shaking violently.
"First mate! The boat is moving!"
"I know! Run!"
The first mate has been sailing with ships since he was young and has never encountered such a situation. He couldn't understand why the boat just capsized, and he couldn't understand it even more when the capsized boat was still moving.
The violent shaking of the hull made the already anxious people stagger.
The last door appeared in front of the first mate. The huge water pressure outside pressed the door tightly. The door became a one-way valve. The sealing ring on the side edge of the door perfectly blocked the entry of seawater under the water pressure.
Two people tried to pull the handle, but they couldn't pull it. Someone
hurried to find a rope, but was stopped by the first mate Mackenzie: "Don't waste time! Find explosives!"
How could human power be better than water pressure? Only explosives could open this door at this time. Everyone rushed to the gunpowder storehouse and finally found two explosive packs and some diving suits in the storehouse.
After installing the explosive packs, the first mate McKenzie put on a diving mask and shouted: "It will depend on your luck in a while! I hope to see you on the sea!"
After a violent explosion, the last door shattered under the power of the gunpowder.
The water on the seabed sprayed out from the shattered door like a blowgun, rushing those unlucky people directly to the distance.
The people in the aisle grabbed the handrails on the side wall and waited for the seawater to fill here. Only when the seawater filled this aisle could they swim out. After waiting
for a long time until the water flow was no longer so turbulent, the first mate was the first to leave the cabin and came to the original deck.
The deck was on his head, pressing him into the sea water, and he still needed to swim out. However, the first mate trembled all over in the cold sea water, and his muscles spasmed because of fear.
He looked down and was stunned by the scene in front of him. This was the scene of the legendary abyss hell!
Hundreds of corpses appeared on the seabed at some point! These corpses walked on the seabed, like silent visitors from hell.
The first mate was sure that these were corpses, because some of them even had exposed skeletons.
Among these corpses was a druid, who had woven several thick ropes out of seaweed and tied them to the sunken ship.
These ropes were divided into some thin ropes to make it easier for the corpses to drag the ship.
In the world of spinning and turning, the first mate Mackenzie turned his head and saw two extremely strong legs, which were the legs of the giants in the legend. These two legs alone were 30 meters long.
Because of the knights' targeting, there were very few apostles like giants. The first mate Mackenzie had been active on the sea, and it was even more rare to see such a powerful apostle.
At this time, the upper body of the giant was blocked by the ship, and the first mate Mackenzie could not see it. He only saw two pairs of people walking by the side of the ship.
The role of the giant seemed to be to prevent the hull from sinking to the bottom and to avoid damage to the two large chimneys, which were one of the very important structures of the steam turbine.
Corpses of all sizes walked on the seabed. They did not need to breathe and were not afraid of the cold. And... and they were dragging the overturned ship towards the shore.
At this moment, the first mate Mackenzie suddenly felt that he would not be able to escape...
Especially when he saw his captain, the second mate, the third mate, the chief engineer and others following behind the team of corpses, dragging the ship together, the first mate instantly lost his resistance.
Death was so close that even the corpses could sense his death. All the corpses looked up or turned their heads to look at the first mate, who was also dying.
In the dim seabed, hundreds of apostle corpses looked at the first mate in unison. This horrific scene suffocated the first mate instantly.
The ghost-like jellyfish floated beside him, and he made his final decision. If possible, he wanted to live a few more seconds, even one second, even two seconds.
So he turned around and swam into the hull. Everyone else swam out, only the first mate Mackenzie swam in.
It was impossible to talk in the sea water, and the others didn't know what was wrong with the first mate, but they fled outwards driven by the instinct of survival.
The first mate opened an equipment shaft. He was so familiar with the ship that he could find a way back to the cabin. He got out of an equipment shaft and breathed air again.
Those who swam out, their fate was already determined, and the apostles among them would join the army of corpses.
This is war. Once failed, everyone on the ship will die and be buried in the sea.
He curled up in the corner of a cabin, wanting to wait quietly for death, but the fear of death made him cry bitterly, especially since he might be the only living person in the entire ship, and this huge hull was his iron coffin.
At some point, the wall behind him rippled like water waves, and a person walked out of it.
Mackenzie looked at the person in front of him in great shock, and he didn't even bother to hide his ugly appearance before his death.
Mackenzie suddenly had an intuition that he had hope of survival:
"I'm not a Carolingian soldier! I'm a pirate on the Saragu Sea! My ship was sunk by the Carolingian Navy, and they captured me! I slowly became the first mate after I surrendered to them!"
Rudolph was not interested in knowing the truth of the crew member's story. He just said, "Excuse me, I just want to know where the engine room is. Tell me where the engine room is, and then you continue."
Mackenzie's eyes suddenly lit up, and this light made Rudolph a little interested.
"I know what you are going to do! I can tell if the steam turbine is still usable! Seawater is very corrosive, and the steam turbine is not in good condition now!"
Rudolph couldn't help asking, "How do you know I care about the steam turbine?"
"Sir! You are towing the ship to the seashore, you must want to get the ship, not to let it sink into the sea! Please believe me! Let me serve you! I am very useful!"
Rudolph frowned, not knowing what to do.
He, Cooper and Yvonne, three landlubbers, have no idea how to control a ship. Navigation knowledge is so professional that it is not something that the three novices can master in a short time.
"How do I know if you are really loyal to me?"
"I am a level 3 alchemist. As long as you pay, you will definitely gain my loyalty!"
Rudolph pondered, wondering if it was right to keep this first mate.
Mackenzie thought Rudolph didn't want to pay, so he quickly said, "It's okay if you don't pay!"
In the stuffy cabin, Rudolph was amused and made a decision:
"Okay, then you have a chance to live. As for how long you can live, it depends on you. What's your name?"
"Mackenzie!"
Rudolph took out a syringe and injected a tube of dark purple venom into Mackenzie's body. Mackenzie didn't resist at all during the whole process.
"Mackenzie, you are the first mate of the Carolingian Kingdom Navy after all. I can't trust you completely, so I need a little bit of insurance."
"I understand, this is what I should do."
"Wipe your nose and take me to the engine room."
The two walked in the inverted hull, but this time they didn't need to work hard to open the door. Every wall in front of Rudolph turned into a water wave, which made it easy to pass through.
"Are you an earth wizard?"
"You know a lot."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your information!"
A few minutes later, the first mate suddenly stood up from his bent waist. He remembered a wanted order. The wanted poster contained a picture of the wizard mentioned above.
Rudolf the Furnace! The Scorpio wizard who manually changed the term of the Fabro City Council!
No wonder he had to be injected with poison. Mackenzie's back was covered with cold sweat.
Soon, they came to the engine room.
The engine room was a huge three-story cabin with a double-cylinder steam turbine. At this time, half of the engine room was filled with seawater.
"Sir, the steam turbine of this ship has two chimneys more than ten meters high. The water must have flowed in from the chimneys. I really want to live, so I won't hide anything from you. The entire steam engine has been soaked in seawater. Unless it is overhauled, it can no longer be used."
Rudolf also saw that water was still gushing out of the steam turbine. Maybe it would be filled up in a few minutes. He asked, "Can you repair it?"
"Sorry, sir, I can't. Such repairs must be done at a dock or shipyard, and several experienced alchemy engineers are required."
Mackenzie was very scared. If the ship had no value, then he would have no value either, and he would die.
Rudolf lowered his head and kept thinking, then asked again: "Do you know where to repair this ship?"
"I know! Khodor Port is a big port, and there is a shipyard here. But the shipyard here should be controlled by the Royal Navy. If I guess correctly, the engineers in the shipyard must have been absorbed by the Royal Navy into their repair team.
Now only the Royal Navy has enough alchemical engineers, and only they have the ability to repair this ship."
Hearing this answer, Rudolf sighed.
It seems that the plan to steal a ship and run away on the battlefield has been shattered. This kind of alchemical ship is so complicated that it is not something that a few of them can handle.
"Okay, let's go."
Rudolf took Mackenzie out of the engine room and came to the sea outside.
After floating on the sea, Rudolph said to Mackenzie: "Go to the shore and find a zombie named Cooper. Tell him that I told you that you are very useful and I will keep you."
Mackenzie was completely relieved. He would not die for the time being: "What about you, Mr. Rudolph?"
"I will get a few more ships so that the Royal Navy can repair them for me." Rudolph felt that he had to get more things so that the Royal Navy would be willing to repair the ships for him: "Wait, what did you call me?"
"Mr. Rudolph! The great furnace! You are the terrible poisonous fire that can melt all alchemists! I will always serve you! Mr. Furnace!"
