"Vivian, what should we do now?"
Papanov did not issue any instructions at the first time, but instead hurried to ask Vivian for his opinion. Seeing this scene, Couto, who had just arrived in Rogge Town and had been in office for less than a month, was suddenly confused.
What is going on
Isn’t Vivian just a sergeant like himself
The major obeys the sergeant's orders
Cotto subconsciously narrowed his eyes and began to think.
"Major Papanov insisted on letting Vivian go out to sea with him. Perhaps there is some special meaning behind it."
Could it be that the guy is different from what he seems and is a rare commanding talent
He guessed so.
Actually, the reason why Papanov asked Vivian's opinion was because two years ago when Vivian just joined the navy, she saved his life with her amazing "intuition".
Of course, he had no idea that multiple-choice questions would pop up in Vivian's mind.
Although he was somewhat skeptical about Vivian's so-called "intuition", it was a fact that in the past two years, Vivian had used her miraculous predictive ability to help a group of sailors escape danger no less than twenty times.
Therefore, not only Papanov, but also a group of veterans who had sailed with Vivian firmly believed in his decision.
At this moment, Vivian looked at the three options that appeared in front of her, slightly distracted.
"Nine-headed Dragon Flash?"
Although I haven't read Rurouni Kenshin, just hearing the name gives me a sense of power.
As for Isshin Ashina's sword moves in Sekiro...
Vivian, who had broken a controller because of this crappy game in his previous life, naturally knew how powerful it was.
"Very good, very good, these are skills that are very attractive to me."
But I still choose 3!
"Drop anchor, stop the ship, try to keep the warship close to the surrounding reefs, and don't act rashly!" Vivian said.
You chose option 3, and received a reward: Agility +1
As soon as he finished speaking, Papanov shouted, "Quick, listen to Vivian, stop the boat! And remember to turn off the power unit as well."
"Yes, Major Papanov!"
Upon hearing this, the navy officers hurriedly did as they were told. After folding the sails and dropping the anchor, everyone immediately turned their attention to Vivian, who was observing the situation ahead through a telescope.
"So what's next?" Papanov asked.
"wait."
"wait?"
"Um."
Vivian nodded, "Let's wait and see."
"oh oh."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, but the expressions on their faces showed confusion, and they had no idea what Vivian was waiting for.
After almost an hour, someone finally couldn't stand anymore.
"What on earth are we doing now?"
"The ship of the Giant Blade Pirates has been parked in front of that uninhabited island for such a long time without any movement, which means that the pirates on the ship must have entered the island. Now we just need to get close to them and drive their pirate ship away, then they will have nowhere to escape, right?"
The person who raised the question was a third-class recruit who had just recently joined the navy. As soon as he said this, he was immediately agreed by nearly half of the people.
"Yeah, if we just stay here and don't move, wouldn't that be a bit too cautious?"
Although they had also heard from Papanov about Vivian's "heroic performance" in the past two years, most people who had never experienced it believed that Vivian was just lucky.
Just like Cotto.
Having witnessed Vivian's "cowardice" a few days ago, he naturally thought that Vivian was probably being cowardly again.
"I suggest that we send out a vanguard of ten people to investigate the situation. If there is nothing unusual, we will charge forward directly." Couto offered his suggestion.
When everyone heard this, they all thought that Couto's plan was feasible.
However, five minutes later, before the ten selected navy men had time to get on the boat, a sea king-like creature suddenly emerged from near the pirate ship.
Accompanied by terrifying roars, the sea creatures had just approached the waters less than a hundred meters away from the ship, when there was a loud bang and a water column hundreds of meters high suddenly exploded from the sea surface.
Blood fell from the sky like rain. In the blink of an eye, the originally huge body was broken into several pieces of rotten flesh, which fell into the sea and slowly sank.
Looking at the sea surface that turned slightly red due to the infiltration of blood, the faces of all the sailors suddenly became a little tense.
"Water...mine?!"
"The pirates from the Giant Blade Pirates actually planted mines near the island?"
If that's the case, if Vivian hadn't asked them to stay where they were and wait and see what happened, I'm afraid everyone on the warship would have suffered the same fate as that sea king, right
Thinking of this, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at Vivian.
But at the same time, Vivian was frowning, with a half-smoked cigarette in her mouth, and a thoughtful expression.
A mine
Moreover, the power of the explosion was so great that it blew a sea king creature over 15 meters long into a pool of meat paste.
No wonder the rewards given by the system for the first two options are so powerful. After all this time, this is where the problem lies.
If I had really followed those two options and asked Papanov to bring the warship closer, I'm afraid that by now, both the ship and the people would have sunk to the bottom of the sea...
"So...Sergeant Vivian, how did you figure that out?"
Some people couldn't help but ask.
"Um?"
Vivian was stunned when she heard this, but then she realized that everyone was referring to the fact that there were mines buried near the pirate ship.
only..
What do you mean, how did I figure that out
I don't know how I could tell that!
Actually, the more than one hour of waiting had left him completely confused, and when Couto proposed to send a team of ten people to investigate the situation, he almost raised his hand to express his agreement.
But although I thought so in my heart, I still said, "Of course, it's because of my keen observation."
“Hiss~~~Hu~~~”
Blowing out a puff of smoke, Vivian looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, feeling quite lonely being invincible.
"So do we still need to go there by boat now?" Papanov asked again.
Option 1: Continue to stay where you are and observe the situation. (Completion reward: a random magic sword)
Option 2: Use all your strength to start the propulsion device and sail to the west of the uninhabited island. (Completion reward: random basic attribute +1)
"Push forward with all your strength and head to the west side of the island immediately!!" Vivian shouted.
You chose option 2, and received a reward: Strength +1
Under Vivian's command, the warship sped forward.
At the same time, when the sailors on the ship turned around, they found that near the reef where their ship was docked, a large group of sharks had suddenly jumped out of the sea water without warning, and quickly surrounded the place where the body of the sea king creature sank.
