Chapter 223 Murloc???
There are thousands of specially set fishing grounds in the waters near the Orc Territory, and there are docks and fleets around the fishing grounds, and many Orcs do their work here.
The orc prophet used the hierarchy system to allow pigs to generally only engage in agricultural activities. In the past, other orcs might have only been engaged in military security teams, but now there are too many orcs. After all, they have to find some other things for these orcs.
The orc prophet let the orcs participate in the fishing industry.
Fishing is a job of strength and a test of a person's quality.
Because every trip to sea means risks and high costs, a fisherman needs to work twelve to fourteen hours at a time, regardless of day or night. This is just an ordinary boat.
If it is a larger sea boat, this kind of life may last for one to two weeks, or even several months.
Therefore, this kind of hard work is very suitable for orcs, and they don’t need to do very meticulous things, as long as they can sell their strength.
At the edge of the sea near the Orcs' territory, a ship about twenty-five meters long and ten meters wide sailed on the sea. The width of this ship did not conform to fluid dynamics, but because the orcs did not study this enough, it was the only way.
The orc captain looked at the fishing net that was salvaged yesterday. There were not many fish, only the small fish were jumping at the bottom of the net, and there were a few ungrown crabs holding pliers in the net, unable to move.
The orc captain was discouraged. "We are the official fleet of the Holy City organization, not the orc fishermen who fish independently in small boats."
"Just just a little fish, we can't complete the task this month."
"You guys think of a solution."
An orc sailor said, "We are still half way from three hundred tons of fish... but the middle of the month has passed."
"Not us, we have tried our best. There are too few fish in this area of water, so we'd better drive some distance into the deep sea."
Another orc sailor hesitated and said that he accidentally broke the guardrail at the edge of the hull while he was talking. "Captain, the sea area near us has been salvaged for several years. The fish are smart and have avoided here and ran to other sea areas. If we can enter a sea area where no one has fished before, we will definitely have a great harvest!"
"But..." The orc captain ran to the stern and saw the colorful sea marks floating in the sea behind him. These marks made of stones and wood of different colors dyed with dye are used to locate the sea surface.
Each sea mark is connected to other sea marks with iron locks, so that you can find the way back to the coast by observing the location of the sea mark.
The sea surface is wide. Without these sea markers, they will not have coordinates that can be referenced and will not be able to find the ones they can go back.
Because of the lack of communication means to determine location, the Orc sailors have no ability at all and are too far away from the coast. Once you leave the coast too far, you can only follow the wind. As for where to dock, it depends entirely on luck.
The orc captain thought for a while. If he couldn't complete the mission, he would have to be downgraded from the third level to the fourth level and could only be an ordinary orc sailor. He gritted his teeth. "The orc who has no courage can't eat enough, set sail! Let's continue to move forward."
"But we can't drive too far."
He looked back at the sea marker, then looked at the position of the sun, remembering the angle between the sea marker and the sun during this period of time.
In this way, when they need to go back, they can find the approximate direction of going back with the position of the sun at the same time, and then find a specific sea sign to find the way back.
The sea is a completely different environment from the land, and the orcs may be an excellent race on the land, but it is not necessarily the case on the sea.
Navigation requires a lot of knowledge, which forces orcs to improve their intelligence.
An orc who can be a good captain has an intelligence level that is definitely above the racial IQ average.
But even so, they often feel inconvenient to live on the sea.
They need better positioning means and better ships.
The sails rose on the mast. An orc sailor pulled the sail cable more than ten meters long with one hand, put down the canvas, and his thick arms steadily grabbed the sail cable. In terms of strength, orcs are indeed suitable for being sailors.
The boat traveled forward for a distance.
They came to a location without a sea sign, which meant that no orcs had ever been here.
They chose a location and put down many fishing nets toward the sea. When the next morning, they could collect the fishing nets. There must be lively white fish in it.
Orc sailors all thought of this wonderful scene.
As night fell, the sailors ate potato cakes and went to bed.
When it was dark in the early morning, they ran out and stood on the edge of the boat, and started working to collect the fishing nets that had been sprinkled yesterday morning.
Some people prepare harpoons, some are pulling nets, and some are putting boxes.
"I think there will be a great harvest this time."
"I think so, God of Father blesses it. It is best if the fishing net is full of tender and soft white-bellied fish."
"Well, if we can't even do a fishing job, we will be embarrassed. Others will think that we are not serious about our work, and my neighbors will definitely think that I am a lazy guy."
An orc sailor asked in confusion: "What's wrong, this fishing net is so light."
When he pulled it up and saw that the orcs were stunned in an instant, because the fishing net was empty and there was nothing.
"My side is empty, too."
"Fuck, what's going on?"
An orc pointed at the fishing net in his hand angrily, "A doggyman tore the fishing net. Are you? You and me have never been able to deal with it."
He pointed to an orc sailor and said that the orc sailor also picked up the fishing net on his side, indicating that his one had also been destroyed.
Only then did the orcs find that there is a hole in the middle of every fishing net they scattered.
The orc captain came over, and he swept the fishing nets with a serious expression. "I'm sure these fishing nets were not destroyed by the orcs."
"This is simply bitten out of the teeth."
"But do fish have teeth?"
The orc captain said mistyly.
Suddenly, the fishing boat vibrated and something hit the fishing boat underneath.
The entire ship was shaking.
The orc captain yelled: "Be alert! Take up the weapon! Whoever you see clearly is attacking our ship."
A sailor pointed at the sea, "There is something that attacks our ship in the sea."
Everyone picked up their weapons and looked down angrily. They saw many big fish with limbs under the sea, biting the bottom of the boat with sharp teeth.
The center of gravity of the entire ship began to change, and the ship was falling to one side.
The orc captain immediately realized that water had entered the bottom of the ship, and then he realized that it was very dangerous to enter the bottom of the ship on the sea, and there was a group of enemies who seemed to be fish.
"The boat can't be kept, what should I do now?"
"We drowned without a ship."
One orc suggested: "The big fish can swim. We grabbed two of them by one, took ropes and wooden boards to grab them as livestock, and asked them to carry us back."
Some orcs raised their weapons and supported them, "It's hard not to support them. Who told them to bite our ship."
"Why are these things attacking us?"
"Who knows!"
