Chapter 1610 Into The Sea, We Go
No matter how many times Lucius saw it, his heart would always leap at the sight of this underwater world.
It was like magic!
Though dimly lit, the moonlight shone specs of fairy blue light into the water. And immediately, they had front-row seats to a fish show.
What?
Was that a crab? Impossible! How can they grow so big?... Could it be the effect of the giants?
Normal crabs around Baymard and Pyno were as big and round as a standard-size frying pan. But these were 3 times that size.
They latched onto the submarine's front-growing glass, confused about its appearance and being.
There were golden crabs and even purple ones, which were different from the pink and solved crabs they were used to seeing.
Additionally, these crabs had 2 heads.
Curiouser and curiouser...
The magical underwater world took them by storm. It was always amazing to see and discover never-seen-before species the sea had to offer.
To the Omanians, these lot might be very common. But to them, it was all new.
Amazing!
Nature sure was a mysterious force. They also noticed that some of the fish and beings here were bigger than expected, with the baby ones looking like teen or adult ones instead.
But there was also another group of underwater creatures that looked ordinary and well within what they were used to seeing.
Hey... Could these fish be the ones that left the open grand lines and entered Omanian water space?
The fishes slithered across the massive glass, burning bubbles as they swam.
Everyone watched in marvel at the whole experience.
And soon, one of the Navy pilots steering the sub quickly drew Lucius' attention. The pilot's eyes were still focused on the radar screen before him.
"Sir! Passing under Enemy ship now... 3 minutes more before Mission Departure."
The pilot's words were clear.
Right now, they were swimming underneath one of the Adonis patrol ships.
They were so deep underneath, and these Adonis followers would've never believed there were enemies right under their noses.
.
At the moment, the submarine ships carrying the soldiers tasked with attacking the patrol ships haven't made a move yet.
They remained underneath their targets, only waiting for the green light before leaving the subs.
As planned, only when the land team successfully reaches the shores can they begin their ascent.
The 3 Navy officers aboard Lucius' sub swiftly moved their fingers across the many controls.
They were like hackers on a computer, tapping away and very drawn into their operation.
The sub continued to advance, stopping between the sea shores and patrolling lines the enemy ships moved on.
Mid-way... Perfect.
The fake frog with a mic on its mouth was sent to shore level like one extended an antenna. There were also telescopes sent out. But that wasn't all.
They unleashed the latest spy water-resistant techs to the surface.
They placed another black frog in a special chamber, opened the chamber doors, and released the frog.
From there on, they used its controllers to send it to the surface. A fish tried to eat it, but it sent a stinging sensation to its opponent.
What a joke.
How can they create military drones that aren't covered with protective gear?
Some of their air drones could fire bullets and launch stun grenades if they wanted to.
They knew the dangers of underwater creatures. So they had to protect their expensive equipment.
A single drone of this caliber costs thousands of Bays. So who is putting it into the water without a means of it fighting back? You must be joking.
The underwater frog swam towards the surface, moving closer and closer to the shores.
With the submarine at a standstill, the soldiers and marines had already unbuckled their seatbelts.
Lucius moved to the front, looking at the bright display.
It showed what the frog was seeing. Its settings were in Heat Vision mode. And if they wanted, they could switch its settings to Night Vision mode too.
But their main reason for sending the frog wasn't all about visuals.
One should know that before their larger vessels docked far out in the seas, they had already sent several air forces into the air.
The weather conditions were perfect for the air forces to operate. So how can they not use them?
It was these air force officers who went ahead of them, zooming through the land and picking out where the many hidden scouts were located.
No matter how well one hides in the trees, how can they be a match for their heat vision technology?
Naive!
The air force units had operated as usual and were still above the land, waiting for ground team to make their move.
Both ground and air force teams will work together to eliminate the enemy.
It was now 3:46 A.M.
They had roughly another 3 hours before the sun came up.
Their best hours of attack were now. So they had no time to waste!
.
The spy frog was on the move.
They wanted better microphones to listen in on whatever goes on around and on the coastlines themselves.
How to say it?
The position they were on, covered a 1 and a half mile-listening radius.
The range was exactly between the patrol line and the shores.
They could hear the words of any enemy standing on the sandy shores, but anything above that became background noise when picked up.
If they wanted to listen in and pick up other sentences behind this, they had to send the frogs to move closer and closer to the shores.
This way, they might hear even those within the forest just before the sandy shores.
Of course, this was the maximum speaker range within these small submarines.
But for the main Baymardians ships hiding far back at sea, their listening range could go-to to 2 miles... Similar to their radar-detecting technology that can identify incoming ships from a 3-mile radius range away.
They could hear Dolphin and even boggle noises from a distance once these creatures cried out in the open air. Likewise, there were also underwater microphones to pick up strange noises too.
