Episode 69
Ditarterone (6)
Ditarteron steered the ghost ship in front of the fleets that entered the fog, especially the fleet with Jeong Do. With her countless naval battle experiences, she immediately found the captaincy.
‘Another ship made of steel.’
It is not a wooden ship with iron armor, but a ship made entirely of iron from the bow to the stern. How can a boat like that float on water? Of course I thought it had been magically processed, but surprisingly, I couldn’t find any traces of it.
‘Is this the work of a wizard better than me?’
no way. Is that possible? It would be more realistic to say that a huge chunk of iron was floated in the sea without any magical elements. But that was also a big deal.
‘It seems that this world’s technology is much better than I thought.’
good night. It was very good.
From the perspective of the plunderer, it is good to know that the opponent’s technology is superior. Sooner or later, that technology will become yours.
Even when Ditarteron saw the solid steel ship, he had no intention of losing the battle.
Of course, the strength of a ship was a very important advantage in naval warfare. It would not be wrong to say that in naval battles, the difference in ship durability determines victory or defeat.
however.
Such as the durability of a steel ship.
Compared to the ship strengthened by his own magic, it was nothing more than a piece of paper.
He is a pirate who has ruled the Kshanto Islands. Naturally, many kingdoms and empires sent armies to subdue him, and he survived many naval battles.
Even in battle with the fleet led by Admiral Swordmaster.
Even amid the countless bombardments from the magic corps.
He survived in the end and plundered them.
This fog is the tactical magic he perfected through numerous naval battles.
The Sea King’s Breath.
This dense fog not only prevents access from the air, but also severely limits visibility in the fog. And even magic to limit communication within the fog. It was his own barrier, simple but powerful.
And this fog and ghost ship have tremendous synergy.
Although his vision was limited in the fog, his army was undead. It’s not a big penalty since the enemy is tracked using the vitality of the living rather than the eyes.
In a situation where visibility is extremely limited, how would you react if a ghost ship appears in close proximity without a sound?
Naval gunfire?
no. Naval gunfire is an effective tactic even in situations where the distance increases to a certain extent. If you are not careful, firing naval guns at close range can cause damage to your allies.
A ghost ship suddenly appeared before my eyes. Moreover, if it looks like it will collapse immediately at the slightest shock, the opponent’s tactics are likely to be the same.
Filling tactics.
Adding to this the deliberate exposure of the side of the ghost ship is the icing on the cake. I had no choice but to rush in.
But of course this is a trap.
‘Humans are a race of people who judge only by appearances.’
Despite its shabby appearance, the ghost ship boasts durability stronger than steel due to its magic. An enemy ship that rushes into the ghost ship without even knowing it will be destroyed.
It was an advanced tactic that used the breath of the Sea King and human psychology. So far, this tactic has never worked. In fact, wasn’t a steel ship that appeared in the southeast recently captured using this tactic?
Sigh.
“You’ll see.”
As expected, the enemy ship this time also chose to rush into the ghost ship. And as before, the enemy ships will be destroyed.
“… hmm?”
Just before the enemy ship touches the ghost ship.
Something strange came into Ditarteron’s field of vision.
A sculpture attached to the bow of an enemy ship.
“Is it a dragon?”
It looked a little different from the dragon in his world, but it looked similar. A liveliness that makes you feel as if fire will spout from your mouth at any moment. Is the fleet in front of you a symbol of the country it belongs to? Ditarteron smiled with satisfaction.
“Humans in this world also tend to have a good sense of aesthetics. “Let’s use it well.”
decided. Let’s capture that ship, convert it into a ghost ship, and use it as a captain’s ship. That ship will be the starting point for conquering this world. Attacking an enemy country with a ship with that country’s symbol… She had fun just imagining it.
Now, the two ships are really about to collide. Ditarteron expected to hear the sound of the enemy ship splitting apart.
however.
Quang!
Kwazijic!
“What?!”
Unfortunately, the reality was just the opposite. The side of the ghost ship was completely shattered! Detarteron used magic to rise above the broken ghost ship.
“Nonsense!”
This is something that has never happened while ruling the Kshanto Archipelago. No ship could penetrate the ghost ship…
Ditarteron could only stare blankly as the ghost ship sank.
* * * * * *
A few minutes before the ship with Jeong Do rushed into the ghost ship.
‘What is all this!’
At least I couldn’t come to my senses because of the notification window popping up in front of me.
<<Naval Battle-lv.3> is activated. Increased attack power, defense power, and mobility when fighting at sea. Damage received is reduced by 50%.>
<<Tactics-lv.3> is activated. Nullifies the opponent’s reconnaissance. You will never be taken by surprise. It becomes difficult for enemies to feel uncomfortable with their allies’ actions.>
<<Command-lv.3> is activated. The bond with your allies becomes stronger. The allies’ abilities increase. The possibility of an ally resisting is greatly reduced.>
Triple 3 level majesty. But this was just the beginning.
<<Naval Battles>, <Tactics>, and <Steering Skills> demonstrate synergy. <Skill> When using Crane Wings, the ship’s movement speed and conversion speed increase by three times.>
<<Naval Battles> and <Naval Artillery> demonstrate synergy. The power of naval guns increases significantly.>
<The twin dragon sword detects <Command-lv.3>. The abilities of allies are additionally increased.>
‘… I don’t know anymore.’
There are levels of munchkins too. It was a more colorful notification window than any other character I had loaded so far.

<Finish. The enemy is close. Captain, you had better rush ahead.>
Certainly, as Yi Sun-sin said, the enemy ship appeared right in front of us with its side exposed. A shabby ship like that would be destroyed in one attack. The moment when Jeong Do is about to order a charge towards the enemy fleet.
<Wait a minute! master! It seems like a trap!>
Ixia, who realized the enemy’s intentions, stopped him.
‘Come to think of it… ‘
Why is that shabby ship blocking the front of the warship? Just as Do-do, who had doubts, hesitated to charge.
<It doesn’t matter.>
Yi Sun-sin’s deep voice rang in Do-do’s head.
<I may be a lowly person, but I will say something to the captain. The basics of naval battles lie in preparing a ship that is stronger than your opponent and has stronger firepower. And after that, trusting your own ship is the sure-fire strategy for victory.>
“Are you telling me to trust the ship and just rush in? But as a leader, you have to be careful… ”
<If you are truly anxious, you can prepare a stronger ship before reaching the enemy ship.>
“yes? What does that mean when the enemy is just around the corner… ah.”
i get it.
When it comes to strong ships that Yi Sun-sin directly mentions, only one comes to mind.
Turtle ship.
Jeongdo used the <Summon Turtle Ship> skill.
<This skill requires a catalyst. The existence of the catalyst <ship> has been confirmed.>
<Additionally applies the Turtle Ship’s abilities to the ship.>
Surprisingly, the <Turtle Ship Summoning> skill was in the form of loading information like Jeongdo’s drawing skill!
Faaah!
“Ugh! what!”
“Suddenly there’s light?!”
A short, intense light enveloped the ship and disappeared, and a dragon’s head appeared on the bow, although it was not visible from the captain’s office.
<The turtle ship information has been loaded. The ship’s movement speed, durability, and gun attack power increase significantly. Ignores magic below the highest level. Reduces magical damage of Legend level or higher by 50%.>
“… … .”
This is what it felt like to be able to see more than what you imagine. I was confident that I would win against anyone on the sea. Yi Sun-sin spoke to Jeong-do, who continued to express his admiration.
<Captain, do you know Xiang Yu, who was called the King of Heaven?>
“of course. The name is still widely known in modern times.”
<Then it will be easy to talk about. He swept the battlefield with invincible force. In the face of overwhelming force, tactics and traps were meaningless. The same goes for naval battles. However, in this case, it is not an individual’s force… >
“The strength of the ship. And it must be the judgment of the commander commanding that ship.”
<You got it right. And in my opinion, this ship is unrivaled anywhere in the world. The strange ship in front of her is said to be excellent, but compared to this ship, it is truly a blood-stopping operation. Captain, please trust your ship.>
“All right.”
okay. If you don’t trust a buffed ship like this, then what can you trust? Jeongdo shouted.
“Full speed ahead! Charge at the enemy ship. Everyone, prepare for shock!”
After receiving the order, the ship rushed towards the ghost ship.
Quang!
He easily tore the ghost ship in two.
“… and.”
I felt like I knew now.
The Battle of Myeongnyang, a naval battle that is considered one of the greatest battles in Korean, and indeed world, history.
I was wondering how on earth they managed to defeat nearly 300 Japanese ships with 13 panokseons…
‘It was just crazy strong.’
A battle in which a super munchkin named Yi Sun-sin unilaterally defeated the Japanese fleet. That was the truth of the Battle of Myeongnyang. After sinking the ghost ship, Jeong Do came out of the captain’s room.
A man was floating in the air in a thick fog.
‘Ditarteron!’
As the ghost ship broke apart, Jeong-do saw it fleeing into the sky. Ditarteron also glared at Jeongdo in the air.
Swish.
Then he turned his head and disappeared in an instant.
<Blink> Magic.
He was transported to a nearby ghost ship using short-distance teleportation. Do-do returned to her captain’s quarters, grabbed her radio and opened the line.
In general, communication devices and magic cannot be used in the Sea King’s Breath.
Tiring!
<<Communication-lv.3> ignores the Sea King’s breath (communication restrictions).>
Even if you searched the entire universe, there was nothing that could interfere with communication. It had a terrible compatibility with ditarterone.
“This is number 1. A little while ago, we sank an enemy fleet. “Please report any enemy sightings from each ship.”
“Crack. Do it twice. “There is nothing wrong.”
“Do it three times. “I am an alumnus.”
“Do it 4 times. Enemy ship discovered at close range. Instructions!”
“Do it 4 times. What are your current location coordinates?”
“The radar is not working! “Coordinates cannot be confirmed!”
It seemed that his communication was not applied to radar. Jeongdo frowned slightly, but soon straightened his expression and closed his eyes.
‘I can feel it.’
<Command-lv.3>. Because of that effect, I could vividly feel where my allies were right now. Jeong Do opened his eyes and ordered again.
“Do not charge the 4th ship, but keep your distance as much as possible and fire your guns.”
“Razor!”
And a little later, the sound of artillery fire was heard over the radio, followed by a report from the 4th ship.
“We fired our naval guns, but they were all blocked by the enemy ship’s translucent barrier! Next instructions!”
“This fleet will provide support. “Keep your distance as much as possible and maintain a confrontational situation.”
“Razor!”
This time, Jeong Do gave an order from within the ship.
“Direction 15 degrees from east to north. Full speed ahead!”
“Full speed ahead!”
“Ahh! What is this! Why so fast!”
“oh my god. “It’s several times faster than usual!”
The first ship, equipped with various buffs, tore through the East Sea at a speed beyond imagination.
‘I’ll be there in a minute.’
If so, you must prepare for battle immediately. This time, Jeong Do opened the line in the cabin where the users on board were waiting.
“There will be a battle soon. Everyone, get ready.”
* * * * * *
The ship was fast. In less than a minute she was near ship number four.
However, the battlefield was a little different than expected.
‘Two ships!’
In that one minute, one more ghost ship appeared and was playing tag with ship number 4. On the decks of the two ghost ships, numerous undead were holding weapons and long decks.
‘As expected.’
I had just thought that the ghost ship that had collided first had too few guns. There were hordes of undead filling the deck. It was clear what they were aiming for.
‘Hand-to-hand combat!’
After making his decision in an instant, Jeong-do issued an order inside the ship.
“Cross between the 4th ship and the ghost ship! Everyone, infiltrate the ghost ship on the left. “I’ll take the right side!”
“yes?! Are you speaking alone? “It’s reckless!”
The captain tried to stop Jeong-do, but Jeong-do jumped vigorously the moment ship number 1 crossed between the ships.
Wedge!
And before he knew it, a long sword nearly 2 meters long was held in his hand. It was not the twin dragon swords, but another long sword of Admiral Yi Sun-sin. As soon as he arrived on the ghost ship deck, he activated his skill.
Samcheok Seocheon Mountain and River Dongsae (三尺誓天 山河動河), Ilhwisotang Hyeolyeom Mountain and River (一揮掃蕩 血染山河).
I swore to the sky with a three-foot-long sword, and the mountains and waters trembled. With one swing, I swept them away, and my blood dyed the rivers and mountains. A skill imitating the phrase engraved on Yi Sun-sin’s long sword was activated.
“Hwaaaap!!!”
He swung his long sword horizontally.
Suddenly.
The ghost ship’s huge mast tilted to one side and struck the undead on the deck.
Quang!
Dozens of skeletons were completely broken apart. Jeong-do scanned the deck with cold eyes.
<It is a land that not even the living dare to enter, so what can a ghost say?>
With those words as a signal, he rushed towards the remaining undead.
