Chapter 259: 259

“Damn it, if we stick more, won’t our bodies remain at the bottom of the sea?!”

“We still have to go further! Just a little more!” 

There was no way Leeha’s mind would be calm.

In the sea where it was impossible to escape, he instinctively knew that the skill Burke used was impossible to use twice.

“If we don’t turn right now, we won’t be able to get out when you fail!”

“If I fail, the whole Dike Beach would be over, so what are you worried about?! Just go!”

Leeha heard Burke’s warning and shouted.

Except for the navigator, all the NPCs and users looked at Burke with rabbit eyes. What kind of attitude was that to a naval commander?

But Burke did not say anything.

“Less than 1.1 nautical miles from the flagship!”

“We have less than 20 seconds left, navigator-nim.”

The navigator and the watchtower NPC alternately said to Burke. The helm held by the naval commander did not move as if it had been firmly fixed.

“Reinforcement-kun!”

“Don’t talk to me and move! 5 seconds to get to 1 nautical mile away!”

Hearing Burke’s cry, Leeha shouted once more. His eyes, body, and mind were completely focused on the Black Bass at the moment. Looking down, Burke shouted.

“……Get ready for a quick turn! Hard port, ready!”

Turn left! Everyone, get ready! Wait for the commander’s signal! Hard port! Hard port!

Chwaaaa- chwaaaaa.

“Approximately 150m to reach 1 nautical mile!”

Everyone held their breath. Burke, the navigator, and Leeha also held their breath.

Every time the Sailfish got affected by the waves, one could only hear the roar of the wood as it jumps over the ship.

“Less than 50m away! In fact, we’re already one nautical mile away!”

“You have about ten seconds left, Captain.”

“Shhh. It’s okay. Be quiet.”

“Yes?”

Burke told off the navigator. What did he mean it’s okay? The sailor asked.

“Don’t you see him?”

Burke’s eyes saw nothing but Leeha. The movement of a sniper who has mastered even the rippling of the waves. They now saw a person laying face down on the edge.

“1 nautical mile-”

There were some errors. However, it did not deviate significantly from 1 nautical mile.

In other words, they were about 1,852km away from Kraven’s 3rd flagship.

“They should have inserted the shell now! Perhaps soon-”

For once, Leeha was on an adventure. Of course, there was tension. There was also a burden.

There were waves that shook not only the mind but the whole body!

‘I can do it. It’s something I have already done before. No worries.’

However, nothing could stop Leeha.

‘Calm Mind.’

He pulled the trigger after casting his skill.

A single finger lifted from his body as he looked like he had no breathing or pulse.

Baaaaaang—–…….

A slightly different sound from a cannon rang out from the Sailfish.

It was only 2.2 seconds later that a commotion broke out among Kraven’s naval forces.

“Admiral! We are ready to open fire!”

A user who climbed up to be Kraven’s 3rd fleet’s navigator could not contain his pounding heart. He was in the back row, so he didn’t think there would be much to do, but some idiot from Fibiel wanted to commit suicide!

‘Okay, I’ll take the contribution for now.’

Even if he tried to miss, he wouldn’t be able to. The effective range of Culverin was around 1,500m. It was about 300m farther than that but it should be enough.

In addition, considering the size of the enemy’s ship, which was smaller than a galleon, even a few misses could cause waves.

“Run away! The enemy is running away!”

“Oh, ohhh! Those bastards are suddenly breaking out! Navigator Aswani! What’s your order?!

The enemy’s ship suddenly started turning. The navigator saw it too.

However, what if they suddenly gave up the flank? It would be a bad choice if they were in that position where they couldn’t increase the distance anyway.

‘Face the front and show the side? It would just widen the hit range.

 Stupid fools!’

Aswani, the navigator of Kraven 3rd Fleet’s flagship, laughed and turned to face the admiral.

“Admiral! Ready to fire-…… huh? Where did you- huh?”

And then he discovered that the admiral’s body had been moved somewhere.

The NPC, an admiral of the Kraven 3rd Fleet, who was staring at the enemy with his eyes glaring from the upper deck, had already flown to the starboard side of the deck, turning gray.

“What? Admiral?”

Is he dead? Why? No, he can’t die.

“What? What happened?”

“Navigator Aswani!”

The artillery user in he artillery room shouted toward the port, but Aswani did not know what to do.

“Hey, why did the admiral die?”

No one saw it. Because everyone’s eyes were still fixed on the Sailfish. After Aswani’s words fell, they all turned their heads in one direction.

“Yes? Die? What- huh? Ahhh?”

“The- the- the- the admiral is dead!”

And all that was left of Kraven’s 3rd fleet was shock.

That cry was the sound of hope delivered to the Sailfish 1.8km away.

“Uwaaaah?! T-there’s no artillery fire from Kraven’s 3rd fleet!”

“Their ships are in chaos! There are suddenly people in the port and people on the starboard!”

“Really? Their admiral is really dead?”

Users gathered at the stern of the Sailfish could not hide their excitement

Even if the artillery flew, it should have flown sooner. However, what did it mean when there was no bombardment? What does their disorganized movement mean?

“Commander!”

“Kuhahahaha, that’s right! As expected of the old man! Even if he only sent a single 

person as reinforcement, he still sent the right person!”

“Now, navigator set out!”

Even the navigator who was always level-headed could not hide his delight. It was an accomplishment equivalent to dismantling the enemy fleet with only one ship.

Had it not been for Leeha’s words, they would have been truly delighted.

“Where are you going? There are still three fleets left. We have to take down the whole back row.”

“Huh?”

“What?”

“Yes?”

“Before Drake shows up, we have to finish four Kraven fleets. Commander! What are you doing not turning the boat?”

Leeha pulled the bolt of the Black Bass and made a brazen expression.

[Defense War- Dike Beach Campaign – Special Mission-1]

Description: Stop the Kraven Navy from landing in the Dike Beach for 20 days or kill 4 or more Kraven Fleet Admirals.(1/4)

‘Three more.’

A sniper’s main purpose is to kill the target after standing by and waiting  However, it wasn’t the same for naval battles.

Middle Earth’s strongest sniper intended to literally end this war with ‘one voyage’.

It was Leeha’s plan from the very beginning. 20 days at Dike Beach? He couldn’t.

‘Unfortunately, the problem was how to close the distance with the admirals.’

The lack of experience in shooting from a ship also played a part, but the most important problem was that there were no means to narrow the distance.

At that time, he was extremely grateful for commander Burke’s words, who told the crazy strategy.

He was able to convince him using the Bargaining skill.

“If we don’t move to the nearest back row, don’t you think that the 3rd fleet would come back to their senses?”

As Leeha spoke, both users and NPCs of Sailfish had puzzled expressions. Except for Leeha, there was only one person who had a normal expression. A user spoke to that person.

“C-commander-nim, I am not talking nonsense, it’s just a question- you don’t really mean to do that, do you?”

Commander Burke’s expression suddenly became serious.

The first thing that Leeha said to persuade him was that they will use this ship as bait, and that they would shoot only the admiral. However, Leeha did not say ‘how many’ admirals.

Does he now think that it is possible to succeed in the operation? Leeha did not know.

“Are you serious?”

“If we dismantle only the 3rd fleet, they can join another Kraven fleet and come back.”

The 1st to 7th fleet was still intact. Besides, if it was the Kraven guys, they would quickly re-adjust their command and put the 3rd fleet under another fleet.

Burke knew that.

“……Kuhahaha! I see. We can’t let that happen. Good! Turn back again! Hard starboard! Go back to those Kraven bastards and close the distance again with the three ships in the aft!”

Commander!

Hearing Burke’s loud roar, everyone except the navigator looked dead.

“You guys thought that I would take it easy because I’m in a good mood! Who! And don’t doze off! Aren’t we the Sailfish! It’s a fish that crosses the blue sea!”

“What are you talking about, captain-nim?”

The navigator retorted to Burke’s words, but Burke only hummed pretending not to hear it.

“Don’t you know the song “Beyond the blue horizon”?! That our happiness and victory can only be beyond that horizon, hard starboard! And move forward at full speed!”

The bow of the Sailfish sharply bent to the right.

In front of them, the rear flanks of the Kraven fleet were now visible.

Without knowing what happened to the 3rd fleet, which had not yet regrouped its battle line, chased after Fibiel’s ‘huge bait’.

“The movement of the rightmost fleet in the back row of Kraven is strange! They changed direction and went out- as if they had suddenly lost command……”

“Really?”

“Yes! And! And beyond that, the naval commander’s ship is turning!”

The NPC in the watchtower shouted with an excited face.

Even before they could hear the NPC’s cry, the faces of Fibiel navy users were already in bloom. It was because they had already heard the news through the whispers of users who were in the Sailfish.

“Uwaaak! The admiral of Kraven’s 3rd fleet is dead! The admiral of Kraven’s 3rd fleet is dead! Kraven’s 3rd fleet is currently in chaos as it had lost its command!”

“Amaziiiiiiing! Did that person really make it? What? Who is that person?”

“Wah, crazy. That’s completely crazy How? Ask how he did it.”

“Shh! Shh! He’s an expert…. Did he shoot while lying down on his stomach? He shot?”

As if listening to a radio broadcast, Fibiel users gathered to share their opinions.

“What? ‘Huh?’ Cannon? The cannon has a long reach, but how did he hit the admiral-…”

“Wait, cannon. It’s not canon. Gun? Is it a gun?”

“Gun? Musket? Like this?”

One user held up the musket he wore on his back. One of the weapons used by sailors was a musket.

Because it was normal for a naval battle to shoot cannons, they could shoot a musket if they get stuck, and then start melee combat when they get near.

“Hmm……. I don’t know. It looked like a musket.”

“Puhaha, a normal musket’s range is 40m, what kind of musket did he use? It should be different. Isn’t it magic?”

There were already a few musketeers, and it was natural for musketeers who play games to join the navy.

Because it was impossible to level up on land.

Land hunting for ordinary musketeers with the combat assistance system turned on was virtually impossible. They had to get on a ship and grow by being given experience points when piloting a ship.

“I don’t know, it looked like a musket-”

“Everyone, line up Our commander’s effort cannot be in vain! Our fleet will turn again to lure Kraven! Contact the entire fleet! With our 2nd Fleet at the forefront, be prepared to give your all!”

The NPC admiral of the 2nd Fleet, who has entrusted the command of Fibiel’s main naval force, shouted.

The users who were whispering returned to their position in surprise, and then all the fleets that kept their distance from Kraven slowed down and turned around.
