Chapter 655: The Ruins of the Bottom of the Sea
Spain, a constitutional monarchy located in southwestern Europe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In modern history, Spain is an important cultural birthplace, during the Renaissance was the most powerful country in Europe, and from the mid-15th century to the end of the 16th century, Spain became the world's most influential empire, and the number of countries using Spanish as an official language was the second largest in the world, after English.
With more than 4 million players and a vast territory, Spain is a powerful country in Europe. In comparison, the Star Kingdom that was wiped out by Shanhai City was a bit insignificant.
No matter how confident Ouyang Shuo is, he is not arrogant enough to capture Spain in one fell swoop.
This time to provoke a national war is purely a helpless move.
Ouyang Shuo's strategic purpose was not only to prevent the national war from turning into a full-scale war, but also to hurt and wake up the Spanish Invincible Armada, defeat their arrogance and rebelliousness, and let the Spaniards maintain enough reverence for Shanhai City.
Truth be told, it's hard.
Whether the ocean-going fleet, which has only one formation, can defeat the Spanish Armada is two theories. Not to mention that after the start of the national war, there will definitely be a large number of Spanish players involved.
It is a great blessing that the ocean-going fleet was able to retreat in its entirety.
Ouyang Shuo was not a reckless person, he was really angry when he defeated the first Spanish battleship, and he didn't think too much about it. But when he decided to defeat the twenty Spanish fleets nearby, Ouyang Shuo already had a draft in his heart.
His hole card is Atlantis City.
The large-scale story quest [Vanishing Atlantis] in the previous life involved hundreds of thousands of players. Carefully recalling the mission information disclosed on the forum, Ouyang Shuo was sure that he would complete the plot task with only one person.
Not to mention the quest rewards, if Atlantis City returns to the Mediterranean, the situation will be very different.
That night, Ouyang Shuo took an ordinary building ship, quietly left the Strait of Gibraltar with Xiaoqing and Shenwuwei, and went straight to the sea where Atlantis City was located.
************
Ouyang Shuo was calm, but Spain was completely fried.
Spanish players never dreamed that the Shanhai City fleet from afar would have the courage to take the initiative to provoke a national war. Knowing that more than 20 warships were sunk by Shanhai City, and even the port of Gibraltar was captured, the Spanish players were even more angry, and they clamored for revenge without even thinking about it.
At the end of the 16th century, Spain's armada was defeated by the British navy led by the pirate Drake, and Spain lost its status as a maritime power and began to decline.
By the mid-17th century, Spain ceded Gibraltar to Britain during the War of the Succession. Until the 21st century, Gibraltar was under British control.
Spain tried to recover Gibraltar from the British, but to no avail. It wasn't until the Earth Federation was established that it was over. It can be said that Gibraltar is a scar on Spain.
In the game, Gaia assigned Gibraltar to Spain according to the principle of proximity, but now it is occupied by the Shanhai City fleet, which touched the sensitive nerves of the Spaniards.
"Make the arrogant Orientals pay!"
"Drive the Shanhai City fleet out of the Mediterranean!" Spanish players made a big statement.
Spain has a long coastline, more than half of the country's borders are coastlines, and the country has a glorious naval history, so the most powerful presence of the Spanish lords is basically the coastal lords.
The Spanish Armada is a general term and does not refer to a specific fleet. Because Spain has no less than 30 fleets under the command of the lord alone, in addition, even the domestic player guilds like to form fleets and go to sea together for adventures. In his previous life, the lucky one Pique was the leader of a small mercenary group.
Early the next morning, the major fleets spontaneously assembled towards the Strait of Gibraltar.
Shanhai City occupied the port of Gibraltar, but the ocean-going fleet led by Zheng He was not ready to have a big battle with the Spanish fleet here, which was too stupid and obviously could not be won.
Zheng He's strategy was to take advantage of the superior mobility of the Shanhai City fleet to fight a surprise battle at sea.
In a short period of time, the two fleets will be indistinguishable from each other.
************
The Strait of Gibraltar, an unnamed sea.
Under Xiaoqing's guidance, Ouyang Shuo's battleship finally arrived at its destination. Xiaoqing is worthy of being a sub-divine beast, and he has a high-grade gold sore medicine on his back, and the wound has scabbed over overnight, and he can go into the water again.
Because he didn't know the situation under the sea, Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to go rashly alone. Therefore, he must get Xiaoqing to dive to the bottom of the sea again and collect more scuba apparatus.
Despite the power of scuba apparatus, it is a rotten street in Atlantis City. Atlantis worships Poseidon, the god of the sea, so many of the technological products of the Atlantean civilization are related to the sea.
Scuba apparatus is just one of the gadgets.
When the city of Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea, the ruins of the city were littered with scuba apparatus.
If you want to participate in the [Vanishing Atlantis] mega story mission, the prerequisite is to obtain a scuba apparatus and dive to the bottom of the sea and enter the ruins of the city.
In a previous life, there were players who made a lot of money just by selling scuba apparatus.
Ouyang Shuo gave Xiaoqing a big net and hung it around his neck. In less than half an hour, Xiaoqing turned around and returned, and the big net was filled with underwater breathing apparatus.
After a rough count, there were more than three hundred pieces. Thanks to Xiaoqing's bravery, otherwise it would not be easy to drag such a heavy thing forward in the water.
Four times back and forth like this, Shenwuwei had an underwater breathing apparatus in his hand.
"Let's go!"
Ouyang Shuo put on an underwater breathing apparatus and jumped into the sea first, splashing a wave. Then, like dumplings, a thousand Shenwu guards and their own guards jumped into the sea in unison and dived towards the bottom of the sea.
The battleship that had brought them to them immediately left, so as not to attract the attention of the Spanish fleet.
……
The waters of the Strait of Gibraltar are already clear, the environment is extremely superior, coupled with the optimization of Gaia in the game, and there is no industrial pollution, it is more like a fairyland.
In the blue waters, there are constantly colorful marine fish, swimming in groups. Seeing Ouyang Shuo and his party, they were not afraid, and they actually came up excitedly.
However, those sea monsters and giant beasts, feeling the breath on Xiaoqing's body, had already fled without a trace.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly.
Speaking of which, this is Ouyang Shuo's first time diving, and he has never enjoyed such treatment in reality, let alone diving in the open sea now, and he doesn't have to carry bulky diving equipment on his back.
Putting on the scuba apparatus, Ouyang Shuo felt that he had turned into a fish, galloping across the sea. He rode Xiaoqing and slowly swam towards the bottom of the sea. After a few hundred meters of diving, the water pressure continued to increase.
The magic of the breathing apparatus is once again revealed, as it not only provides oxygen, but also automatically regulates the water pressure. Even if he dived into the depths of the seabed, Ouyang Shuo couldn't feel the existence of water pressure at all.
When you reach a thousand meters, you can really see the underwater continent. The bottom of the strait in the game is still as clear as a pity, and the mysterious city of Atlantis slowly appears in Ouyang Shuo's field of vision.
The legendary city of Atlantis is designed in concentric circles, separated by ships. As we progressed deeper into the center, identity restrictions became stricter, and the inner ring of the circle was the most important temple and reservation.
In the case of Atlantis, the third is one of its important features - the repetition of the lines three times, the complex of three similar buildings, and the group of three pyramids. The streets on every floor of the city are arranged diagonally, from one corner of the waterfront to the other, and there are many intricate underground corridors underneath.
Poseidonia, the capital of Atlantis, represents the essence of the Great West - the epitome of culture, art and craftsmanship. It is a monumental city and a model for other countries.
However, in Ouyang Shuo's eyes, it was a huge city ruins.
In the blue waters, ruined temples, giant round pillars that fall from side to side, and huge sculptures that fall in the mud can be seen everywhere. The towering sculpture was also mutilated, and the spear in his hand was broken in two.
Everything seems to tell the story of the decline of a civilization.
The sense of desolation and tragedy came to his face, and Ouyang Shuo could even smell the breath of time.
Rotten, dilapidated, and unforgiving.
Even so, Ouyang Shuo could still get a glimpse of the glory and splendid civilization of Atlantis City from the ruins. The well-planned municipal system of the city, the exquisite sculptures, the great buildings, and even the most ordinary stone are carved with unknown beautiful lines.
Undoubtedly, this is a great civilization.
Unfortunately, corals, seaweeds and other vegetation have crept up walls, columns and sculptures, taking root, gradually cultivating a new ecosystem. Schools of sea fish freely shuttle through the ruins of the city, including sharks, and the whole city is full of life.
The protagonist of the city, the Atlanteans, is nowhere to be found.
The murderous aura emitted by the Shenwu Guard made even the sharks retreat. After landing, Ouyang Shuo casually picked up an underwater breathing apparatus and put it in the storage bag.
Seeing a dilapidated civilization, Ouyang Shuo was touched by emotion, not only exclaiming: "Could it be that no matter how great a civilization is, no matter how glorious an empire is, it can't escape the erosion of time in the end?" ”
"And what is the majestic goal he has fought for all his life compared to?" In Ouyang Shuo's eyes, there was inevitably a trace of confusion.
Ouyang Shuo was alone, standing in a daze in the ruins of the city, but the Shenwu Guard spontaneously dispersed, guarding around the prince and marquis, ensuring that no one would hurt the prince and marquis.
At this moment, a whisper came from the empty ruins.
"Welcome, destined people!"
The voice is hoarse, and there is wisdom in the vicissitudes of life.
"Who?!"
Ouyang Shuo woke up in an instant, and his eyes became sharp again.
