Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 67: Forced Landing
After saying this, the captain staggered towards the cockpit in front. He thought that Senator Ibr had been frightened and he wanted to return to his position to command the airship to make an emergency landing.
When Councilman Ibel heard the captain's order to throw unimportant items on the airship into the sea, he grabbed one of his followers.
Let him lean over and whisper in his ear: "Take your men to throw all the boxes of gold in the bottom layer of the ship into the sea."
The attendant was shocked: "Sir... so much gold was thrown away? How are you going to explain this to the adults in Raging Wave City?"
"If I don't throw it away, my head will be gone. I can't explain it even if I want to! This is a shallow sea area close to the continental shelf. The gold will not be washed too far by the current. Remember the location of this sea area. When this matter is over, we can send people to salvage it."
"Sir, your wisdom is truly..."
Councillor Ibr said angrily : "What flattering words are you saying at this time! Hurry up and take people there to destroy the bottom shell of the warehouse and push the box of gold directly downwards. Be quick! Don't let anyone see the gold!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Several followers received orders from Senator Ibul and took advantage of the brief moment when the airship was stable to rush quickly to the cargo hold on the lower floor.
On the sea , the Lucky Princess raised the flag of the Raging Navy and slowly pursued the pirate ship that was "fleeing in panic". The navy warship was very fast and soon passed the merchant ship, forming a pincer attack on the pirate ship from the left and right.
After receiving the light signal from the Shamrock requesting rescue, the Lucky Princess immediately turned its bow and headed for the sea where the Shamrock armed airship was about to make an emergency landing, while at the same time conveying information about this "emergency" to the naval warships through flag signals.
The navy battleship replied: Sir Meteorite Detective, please rescue the Shamrock as soon as possible, and leave the pirates to us.
The Lucky Princess' steam engine was fully powered, and it rushed towards the Shamrock armed airship, and notified the other three merchant ships to rescue the Shamrock immediately.
The four ships were separated from the Navy warships.
Shelley, who had been watching the Shamrock through a telescope, saw the people on the airship throwing things into the sea. He excitedly shouted to the inspector beside him: "Inspector, Inspector! You guessed it right! They are throwing things, throwing things!"
Most of Luke's attention was on the clear sky. When he heard Shelley say that the Shamrock was throwing heavy objects into the sea, he casually replied, "Keep the course and let Naga go to confirm!"
"Yes, Inspector!"
Shelley walked to the side of the ship and blew several whistles of different tones at the gun ports on the side of the ship. The gun ports opened, and a large group of Nagas jumped out and jumped into the sea.
A vortex appeared on the water surface and spread towards the Shamrock.
"Inspector, they're gone."
"Um!"
Luke didn't dare to be distracted too much.
At this time, the hull of the Clover airship was covered with cuts all over. White steam billowed out from the wounds, and smoke rolled up. These were all high-temperature steam, and the heat steamed the entire top space like a sauna.
The high-temperature and high-pressure air currents formed barriers that restricted Luke's movement and also restricted the magicians.
The four magicians cursed in their hearts, thinking they had misjudged this intruder.
I thought her behavior showed that she was well-educated, and even though we were rivals, I still responded with appropriate courtesy.
But I didn't expect her to be so unruly!
This is a noble fight. Why are you cutting the airbag? If you don't want to live, why don't you just stop and let us kill you? If we fall into the sea like this, we'll all be doomed!
As more and more steam leaked, the replenishment could not keep up with the rate of leakage, and the airship was descending uncontrollably.
Moreover, the pressure inside the airbag dropped, and the airbag wall became extremely soft, and stepping on it was like stepping on a swamp. In the shaking, let alone moving, it was even difficult to stand still and not be thrown out.
The magicians moved forward holding onto the brackets and other protrusions on which the gargoyles were mounted, using magic to dispel the heat and steam, searching for the intruders in the fog.
She is really too fast!
Luke, who controlled the clear sky, dodged the magician's attack while destroying the airbags according to the blueprint of the Shamrock armed airship.
Shelley said the guys on the airship were throwing heavy objects to lighten the weight…it was going very smoothly.
Congressman Ibul, who was escorting the gold, absolutely did not dare to let the navy discover this batch of black gold, and the armed airship Shamrock, which was about to make an emergency landing on the sea, had to accept the rescue of the "Navy".
The only way to prevent this from happening, of course, is to throw the black gold into the sea and salvage it quietly later.
The Naga has swam over from underwater. If they find gold, they will collect it immediately and wait for the Lucky Princess to come and receive it.
If Senator Ibel is stupid enough not to throw it away... wait for the Shamrock to make an emergency landing, the Lucky Princess will rescue everyone on the airship, and then Naga will chisel open the bottom hold of the airship and transport the gold out.
The bottom of the Lucky Princess was remodeled and an underwater cabin was added. This time, a total of 158 Nagas were brought, and it would not take long to transport nearly nine tons of gold.
However, if they needed to break open the bottom of the ship to transport the goods, there would be a risk of being discovered. Luke had to order the spies on the ship to attack the Naga pirates and then put the blame on the pirate ship that was sunk by the navy.
Councillor Ibel threw out the gold as planned, which was the best result Luke hoped for. There was no need for so much micromanagement to avoid unnecessary complications. The sea is vast, and you can't blame us if you can't find the gold you threw.
A batch of black gold that never sees the light of day is gone, and they don't have the courage to blame us.
On the airship, Luke dodged the magic cast by the magician, and from time to time released sword marks and magic to counterattack. The damage to the airship had achieved the result she wanted, which allowed the airship to make an emergency landing on the sea, but did not cause a crash on the sea and cause an accident that was difficult to resolve.
What she had to do now was to delay these magicians and prevent them from using magic to repair the gap.
In the air, the Shamrock, billowing with smoke, flew towards the rescue "navy" ship. Its altitude kept decreasing, and its deflated airbags made people worry that it would fall directly from the sky.
On the Lucky Princess that came to "rush to the rescue", the flag bearer used flag signals to direct the flying posture of the Shamrock and told the crew the sea area where the emergency landing was to take place.
The other three merchant ships protected the Shamrock's forced landing area from other directions.
The sound of cannons rumbled in the distance.
The navy warships had caught up with the pirate ship and launched a fierce bombardment at the pirate ship that had given up resistance.
Everything is where it should be.
The shortened distance allowed Shelley to see the gap in the bottom of the Shamrock, which was the location where the black gold was stored as pointed out by the inspector.
"Inspector, they opened the mezzanine and the gold must have been thrown into the sea."
Luke controlled Clear Sky to jump into the sea, and then said to Shelley: "Continue to follow the plan!"
