The azure sea stretched endlessly beneath the blue sky. In the face of the vast ocean, anyone could deeply feel their own insignificance, just a mere speck in the grand expanse. Unlike the great rivers, Chen Tao, being the instructor, had no assigned duties on this ship. He had plenty of time to leisurely pass the hours.
Thus, he boarded the vessel to personally experience sailing on the sea, believing it would enhance his ability to teach his students. Before Chen Tao could ponder further, he suddenly heard someone shouting pirate warnings from above.
He immediately looked up to see a lookout on the crow's nest frantically waving flags, signaling readiness for battle. Pirates? Were they out of their minds? Chen Tao glanced around in disbelief; he was standing on the deck and could see two Giant Ships on either side.
Such enormous vessels appeared from a distance like three wooden mountains floating on the sea! What kind of deranged pirates would dare to cause trouble for them?
Before Chen Tao could relay his thoughts, a messenger responsible for monitoring the lookout signals quickly sought out Wu Qianchuan. As he ran to find him, he shouted warnings to prepare for confrontation. All the sailors stood at attention, taking their positions.
Upon receiving the message from the messenger, Wu Qianchuan calmly made his way to the bow of the ship. In the distance, more than ten small black dots were emerging, braving the choppy waves as they approached.
At this moment, Chen Tao was somewhat puzzled: Brother Wu, is this part of His Highness's drill?
Well, unlike the other sailors who were fully alert, Chen Tao whimsically imagined that these pirates were actually allies. Perhaps they had intentionally raised pirate flags to practice naval combat with the sailors. Otherwise, how could a handful of small boats have the audacity to challenge their Three Giant Ships? Were they seeking death?
If they wanted to end their lives, they could simply jump into the sea; why go through all the trouble of sailing over to confront the sailors? Where in this world would you find such benevolent pirates?
Wu Qianchuan's solemn expression was momentarily stunned by Chen Tao's question; his thoughts became disjointed as he struggled to respond. Chen Tao didn’t think his musings were absurd and continued: Brother Wu, you know His Highness has asked me to occasionally push sailors into the water when they least expect it.
To help them adapt to the panic of sudden immersion in water, they must always remember to operate the Cang Hai Jue.
The prince has so many thoughts; perhaps arranging for fake pirates to come for a drill is a possibility? Don’t worry, I won’t tell the other sailors.
Wu Qianchuan's face began to twitch as he looked at Chen Tao, as if he were staring at some kind of extraordinary fool. The camera even zoomed in on Wu Qianchuan's expression, amusing many viewers who were following the show.
"Hahaha! I can't hold it in anymore; that look, that expression of disbelief is killing me!"
"To be fair, Chen Tao's idea is indeed ridiculous."
"Wow, I thought the production team was going to shoot another traditional martial arts story, but it turns out the characters are being fooled into preparing for a new era on the villain's ship."
Wu Qianchuan couldn't help but raise his hand, pressing his thumb and index finger against his cheeks to prevent excessive twitching: Captain Chen is overthinking it.
In the Xiacheng Sea Area, there are indeed pirates.
I grew up in Xia Cheng; not only there, but most ships traveling along the coast have been subjected to pirate raids.
Chen Tao felt quite embarrassed. According to Wu Qianchuan's words, pirates weren't part of the drill at all; it was all just his own overthinking.
