Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 250: For Your Majesty (65)

Dragon Raja 5

It’s easy to imagine how talented she was. If she weren’t one of the top figures in the British Royal Navy, she wouldn’t have been able to become a captain in the male-dominated world of submarines. This kind of woman is simply stronger than a man.

Finger immediately showed a look of gratitude, but what surprised Mai Jiude was Caesar’s indifference. From the moment the captain stepped into the cabin, he didn’t say a word, just listened with a cold face.

He was a cultured aristocrat. Even if the person sitting opposite him was not his savior but just an ordinary elegant woman, he will still smile gently and say “What can I do for you?”

Although the captain was indifferent, this was not a reason for Caesar to respond coldly.

“Coffee, tea or liquor, just tell my orderly if you need anything.” The captain’s wife stood up and left.

After the hatch closed, Jude Mai lowered her voice, “What do you dislike about this captain? Or do you simply hate the rescue mission your father sent?”

“No need to be polite,” Caesar said coldly, “I know the captain.”

Jiude Mai was stunned.

“The last time I saw her, she was wearing a low-cut evening gown and was kissing my dad passionately on the sofa in my house.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, you’d better come to the command cabin.” The captain came back with a serious expression.

There were hurried footsteps outside, and the sailors were running frantically in the narrow passage to their respective posts.

Caesar stood up suddenly, with no intention of resisting at all, and Jiude Mai and Finger followed him.

It’s easy to guess what happened. The fight between Leviathan and the snakes hasn’t ended yet. The hunting of giant marine creatures sometimes lasts for several hours. That’s why the sperm whale needs an amazing lung capacity that can stay underwater for two hours so that it can dive into the deep sea to hunt giant squid.

The submarine’s sonar system can monitor movements within a radius of about ten nautical miles. As long as a huge creature like a whale enters its range, it will inevitably be discovered.

    ***

The command cabin was small and compact, densely packed with monitors. The sailors hunched over their workstations with nervous expressions. Some had been looking around, but the moment the captain entered, everyone tensed even more, their eyes fixed on the monitors and instruments.

They haven’t seen another woman on this submarine yet, but just as Jude Mai once judged, she is the Alpha on this ship, and her sharp eyes alone can intimidate this group of well-trained men.

I really don’t know how Pompey got her. He was clearly an old sissy, but he held down the lioness.

“Report the situation!” The captain stood in the middle of the command cabin.

“Medium target, rapidly approaching, 30 knots, 37.5 degrees, depth 150 meters!”

“Ruling out submarines, ruling out torpedoes, high infrared response, no radio signals received, judging it to be some kind of creature!”

Mai Jude was stunned for a moment, not understanding why a behemoth like the Leviathan would be a medium-sized target, but then she understood. They were aboard an Astute-class nuclear attack submarine, designed to target submarines of the same class. In terms of sheer size, the Nautilus was a true steel behemoth, while the Leviathan was merely a medium-sized one.

The captain turned around, gave Caesar a meaningful look, and lowered her voice, “Leviathan?”

Caesar was surprised, but when he noticed the flash of gold in the captain’s eyes, he understood why his father was involved with this heroic female soldier and why she could intimidate these unruly sailors.

Being mixed-bloods, they are naturally attracted to each other. She may not be in the secret party, but she is qualified to know the secrets of the dragon clan.

“The target is approaching faster! The target is approaching faster!” the sailor warned loudly.

“Thrust 100%, dive, right rudder, and take evasive action!” the captain ordered.

There was barely any engine noise, but there was a slight pause before the submarine suddenly accelerated, its floor tilting sharply. The captain and the standing sailors expertly leaned back to counter the tilt, keeping their feet steady. Mai Jude and Caesar staggered briefly, but quickly regained their balance thanks to their excellent balance. However, Finger rolled twice before finally standing up.

The Astute-class submarine, known as one of the quietest in the world, as quiet as a fish even at full speed, was diving down to get out of the Leviathan’s path.

Of course, a Royal Navy submarine would not open fire on a whale, even if the whale was of an incredible size. The captain said the name “Leviathan” in a voice that only she and Caesar could hear, which implied that the sailors did not understand what they were facing.

“Turn target! Turn target! Keep approaching!” the sailor shouted.

The sailor at the weapons control console took off his headphones and turned to look at the captain. “The enemy is taking aggressive action. Requesting the use of weapons!”

The captain’s expression was stern, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking. But based on Caesar’s understanding of submarines, she knew she had to fight back at this point; an attacking nuclear submarine wouldn’t allow an unknown target to get close.

The Leviathan changed course and rushed towards the Nautilus, clearly locking onto them rather than approaching unexpectedly. Furthermore, the Nautilus couldn’t confirm whether the creature was a living thing. Even if it was, it could still be a weapon. The Soviet Union had previously researched the use of dolphins carrying bombs to create biological torpedoes.

But opening fire is also a dangerous option. The Arctic Ocean is known as Russia’s back lake. At this moment, there should be more than one Russian nuclear submarine cruising in the Arctic Circle. The huge explosion sound will be heard far away in the sea. If there is a Russian submarine nearby and it is alarmed, it may be a diplomatic incident.

According to the rules in the Arctic Circle, submarines from all countries live in peace. You can quietly follow another country’s submarine, flex your muscles and send a silent warning, but almost no one dares to use weapons in this sensitive waters.

“Your father asked me to leave the decision of whether to destroy the Leviathan to you,” the captain whispered. “Although I disagree, he believes you can make the right decision.”

She turned to the weapons controller and ordered with the majesty of a queen, “Activate torpedo tubes 1, 2, and 3, and prepare to launch!”

The torpedo tubes of the Astute-class nuclear submarines are equipped with the “Swordfish” torpedo, which is said to be the fastest and heaviest in the world. If the freak “Storm” torpedo is not counted, one shot can sink a cruiser.
