Apocalypse in Water 121

Episode 121

At that moment, a voice was heard from the battle formation following the speedboat.

The man’s voice coming through the speaker was deep and powerful.

– Ah! Ah! Mic test! Hey! You flag-waving guy! Do you know what you’ve done? You just turned the Goldtooth Pirates, whose name alone makes even crying children stop crying, into your enemies. How dare you insult the Goldtooth Pirates’ symbolic flag like that?! I’ll catch you, no matter what. Show the universe the pride of the Goldtooth Pirates! Dispatch! Pirate Express! Go! Fire!

Let the universe know the pride of the Goldtooth Pirates? Pirate Express! Go! Fire?

Shouting out English that doesn’t even make sense sounds like a slogan from an anime or a series.

The voice also sounds like an exaggerated voice actor.

Anyway, as if responding to the powerful voice of the yellow tooth, the battle formation increased its speed.

I took out my telescope and looked where the voice was coming from.

Sound was coming from large speakers installed on the ship, which had a golden carp sculpture rising like a watchtower.

Someone was seen standing at the observation deck at the head of the golden carp sculpture, holding a microphone.

A stylish feathered triangular hat, a jacket with a turned-up collar, and a white scarf around the neck.

He had a plump body and was wearing the captain costume that everyone would picture.

And light was coming out of his wide open mouth.

I could immediately tell that it was Nureongni, the leader of the Goldtooth Pirates.

With the captain on board, is that tourist cruise ship a battle squadron command ship?

On the bow of the ship, where a carp sculpture stands tall like a fountain, was written the phrase, “Boat ride in Wolmido with a carp cruise.”

When I went to Wolmido to play, I saw that cruise ship, but at the time, the bow wasn’t that high to the point of being dangerous.

It looked like it had probably been remodeled.

The Goldtooth pirate fleet that surrounded the apartment was not made up of only battleships.

It included a very diverse range of vessels, including the bizarre cruise ship, drill ships and construction vessels.

In addition, there were also useless vessels such as canoes and yachts that were just there to fill up numbers.

So the number of battle ships rushing this way was only about half of the fleet.

Several fishing boats that had been converted into combat ships by installing iron plates on their bows and sides and installing machine guns were deployed, as well as three coast guard boats and one Chamsuri-class high-speed boat.

I heard that the Goldtooth Pirates originally only had coast guard ships.

That’s why the Goldtooth Pirates, who had ambitions to expand their power, tried to purchase urgent frigates and corvettes from the Navy when they had some money to spare from selling water substitutes.

However, the Navy, wary of the growing power of the Goldtooth Pirates, did not sell any of their ships.

If the Navy had sold even a patrol ship at that time, they would not have even thought of trying to do this.

Although the Hallasan-ho’s twin engines have double-layered steel plates to enhance their defenses, they are still unable to withstand anti-ship missiles and torpedoes.

The Goldtooth Pirates eventually purchased the sunken Eagle-class speedboat that Hyunwoo’s father had discovered for a high price.

And then, I got a Type 210 100mm gun from somewhere and mounted it on a barge.

Hyunwoo’s father and Hoyoung, who are both fans, had a lot of fun talking about this situation.

According to what I overheard, the Type 210 100mm naval gun is the main gun of the Type 052 series of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy, and it is said to be a turret removed from the mother ship.

That’s why the Type 210 100mm gun is said to be capable of firing laser/infrared guided shells, but only manually.

When Hoyoung attacked the front line with a tower crane catapult, he targeted a barge with a Type 210 100mm gun as the next target after the fire boat.

It was a great strategic choice.

Thanks to this, we were able to carry out this operation more stably.

The Type 210 100mm gun is manually aimed, so evasion won’t be difficult, but since it’s a 100mm shell, if you’re unlucky enough to get hit, the Hallasan’s armor will be pierced in one shot.

But why are they using that slow tourist cruise ship as a command ship?

I tilted my head as I looked at the tourist cruise ship.

The battle ships that had been speeding up at the urging of the Yellow Teeth were slowing down to keep pace with the command ship.

Moreover, since there are no iron plates or other defensive devices attached, it would be helpless if attacked.

Even if you leave aside the defensive or offensive capabilities and consider the various communication command equipment, it would be much more advantageous for a commander to ride on a coast guard vessel or a Chamsuri-class high-speed boat.

Did he board that boat on purpose to show off his bravery?

Don’t male peacocks flaunt their colorful tail feathers to show females that they have survived despite being so visible to predators?

Well, I think there might be another reason than that.

Is that guy a puppet?

Couldn’t the yellow teeth be a bait to attract the enemy’s attention, like the pants president?

So who is the boss?

The pirates on the barge were afraid of this butler, perhaps?

A few butlers with the last name Lee came to mind.

Deacon is a term used in the Ark Church, but is also commonly used in general churches.

It was unusual for a pirate to use the title of butler, but it wasn’t strange at all.

But somehow, this butler seemed to be on a coast guard vessel, not a speedboat of the type called the Chamsuri.

Among the rising Ark Church deacons, there was one person who stood out.

I can’t be sure, but I think it’s Lee Su-ho.

But that person was an apostate, just like Nurse Jang.

Then isn’t that the case?

I frowned as I looked at the coast guard boat.

It was because the Coast Guard mark installed on the bridge of the patrol boat was shining in the sunlight and dazzling my eyes.

The distance between the speedboats rushing towards the vanguard is getting closer.

Pirates began installing machine guns on the bows of ships that had spears or planks attached to them.

The sight was just like the Somali pirates I saw on the news.

Armed with AK rifles and RPGs, they chased the giant container ship on a speedboat.

“Boys, don’t give the guy who insulted us such an easy death. Let’s capture him alive and make him pay for it. Pirate Express! Go! Fire!”

The yellow tooth shouted an English slogan that didn’t even make sense.

But thanks to that, the pirates were able to put their guns away.

In that case, there is no need to go into the water to escape.

I glided as if I was riding a motorcycle, with only my head and the hand holding the flag above the water.

It was one of the light-weight techniques that appeared in the Seohae Dongjeong Jinkyung, a step that drained water by adjusting the angle of the toes.

This step was similar to the speed of an average boat, but the speedboat seemed to have been modified, so the distance between us gradually decreased.

But I wasn’t too worried.

Because an assistant was expected to appear soon.

The speedboat that had been chasing the player with its flag held high stopped and slowed down.

It was the sight of Mt. Halla Lake suddenly appearing.

At that moment, with a loud ‘bang’ sound, a shell flew from Hallasan Lake toward the speedboat.

Unlike regular shells, the red-tinged pyrotechnic shells were slow and leisurely, like a magpie bringing good fortune.

The pirates on the speedboat raised their heads and stared at the projectiles.

It was a speed that seemed like it would be possible to avoid it even by walking.

However, the shell inevitably hit the speedboat running at the very front.

Kwakwang!

Flames shot up along with the explosion.

The explosion was so powerful that even a nearby speedboat was engulfed in the blast.

“Oh! Nice shot!”

I waved the flag and shouted toward Hallasan Lake.

They say that Jinman took first place in the gunnery contest and went on vacation as a reward. It looks like it was true.

But on the other hand, the guidance function of the projectile seemed to have had some influence on the hit.

When I defeated Elder Kim of the Ark Church, I took every last bullet I could find.

Afterwards, we test-fired the projectile for practice, and it wasn’t just the explosive power that was strong.

It flew slowly, but strangely enough, its angle changed to follow the moving target, as if it were a guided missile.

This function was applied without fail in actual practice.

The surprised speedboats suddenly started to run back and forth in a zigzag pattern.

It may be to dodge shells, but it is impossible to avoid being hit by a bomb.

Still, you can’t just fire the projectiles recklessly.

The number of rockets was limited to the amount Elder Kim had prepared.

I had already warned Jinman about using the pyrotechnics.

Now that the objective of slowing down the speedboat’s pursuit had been achieved, there was no need for another barrage.

I leisurely swam to Lake Halla.

As soon as I got up, I praised Bomi and Jinman.

In the midst of combat, morale boosting was another tactical weapon.

“Hey! How did Bomi create a sea of ​​fire in one shot? As expected from a divine palace! And Jinman! This is a jackpot. She took down three speedboats in one shot.”

“Oh, that’s right, it’s not because Jinman oppa shot well, it’s because of the Pipo bullets.”

“What are you talking about! Do projectiles fly by themselves? And you just shot an arrow at a pile of oil.”

“No. What are you talking about, Jinman? You saw it. My arrow flew farther than the cannonball.”

The two were bickering.

I didn’t bother to stop them.

Because competition is the seed that leads to better results.

These days, I’ve been thinking a lot about how to lead my colleagues and how to run the apartment community.

Although I plan to delegate a lot of work to managers like Director Park, I have realized through my social life that how to bring out the abilities of colleagues depends on the attitude of the leader.

“Well then, do you want to bet on who can catch more this time?”

I made a suggestion to them both.

“Okay, sir. I’m at a disadvantage using arrows, but I’ll show you what I can do.”

“Then I will show you the daily routine.”

I lit a fire in both of their hearts and moved to the bridge.
