Chapter 144: | 144 | More New Warships
Silence shrouded the fleet admiral's office residing deep inside the branch office building. Abraham blankly gazed forward to an empty wall as though he was looking at something important. In actuality, he was gazing at something significant.
Before him was a digital screen displaying the amount of wealth he currently had in his pockets. And to say the least, it was the largest amount of Naval Points he had gotten from the system.
"7,000 Naval Points... The amount of frigates I can buy with it." Abraham quietly muttered to himself, imagining a fleet of 20 Admiral Gorshkov-class Frigates under his command. But at the moment, numbers weren't the things he needed the most.
It was versatility and adaptability.
To gain what he needed, he needed to gain several warships that could be useful in the larger picture of the United Navy.
"The Lightning Carrier, Jaeger of the Blue Seas, has proven itself to be incredibly effective. Its fighters have practically dominated the airspace above Eisenberg and allowed for long-range tactical mission."
"It was because of this warship that the Storm Fleet of the United Navy managed to destroy several runic shielding scattered throughout the colony." Abraham mumbled, remembering the report about the Lightning Carrier and what it had done in the operation against the Archipelago Colony.
He could buy another Lightning Carrier, but that would be too expensive for his own good. Instead, he wanted to test his luck. Whether or not, would he really gain something interesting from the Random Naval Spin.
Besides, he also wanted to try the new features of the Naval Gacha System. This was the best moment to use it, the time where he has 7,000 Naval Points in stock.
With this in mind, Abraham opened his drawer and took out a telephone from it. He opened communications with the command center in the defense sector of the Port of Dawn and gave them orders.
"New warships are about to be summoned to join our fleet. I want the port personnel to be prepared, and don't want our guns to be pointed at them." It was practically needed for him to always give orders to his subordinates when summoning warships.
After all, the teleportation ability of their adversaries made them tense against warships that emerge out of nowhere. Abraham didn't want them to shoot at each other, so it was important to give warning.
"Affirmative, Fleet Admiral. I will be relaying your orders to the remaining fleet." The communication operator from the other side responded and swiftly contacted an intelligence officer. The moment the intelligence officer heard of the orders, he rapidly relayed it to most of the command center.
With that, the naval personnel scattered throughout the Port of Dawn should be aware of the upcoming summoning.
It was finally time to stop resisting the urge. After all, who wouldn't want to gamble in a large spinning wheel.
'Systema, use 2,000 Naval Points to purchase two Naval Random Spins.' Abraham quietly thought while closing his eyelids. It didn't take long before a mechanical bell rang inside his mind. The edges of his lips rose as it had begun.
*Ding!*
| Understood, Fleet Admiral. |
| Random Naval Spin Selected! |
| Triggering Spin… |
In a mere instant, a massive glowing wheel materialized before his eyes. Within it were the same hundreds of classes of warships and ships he had seen before. It came from different nations across his former world.
Though, it did make him wonder why most of his warships came from the US of A.
At any rate, the arrow in the center of the massive wheel began spinning. It started slow at first, but became blurry in seconds. Abraham carefully watched as it passed through hundreds of warships and ships.
As said before, what he wanted was a ship with versatility and adaptability like the America-Class Carrier, or Lightning Carrier for short. So, he was somewhat tense regarding what he could get from the spin.
It didn't take long before the arrow was beginning to slow down. He watched with a scrutinizing gaze as it slowly but surely concluded its spinning session.
| Revolution Terminating in 5…4…3…2…1… |
| Congratulations! You have received (Prototype Advanced Hindenburg-Class Airship)! |
"A what?" Abraham found himself stupefied as he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He wondered if he had become crazy because of excitement. He expected a warship or a ship, an airship was beyond his expectations.
It didn't even come to mine.
'And a prototype, huh? Is it somewhat similar to the UNS Trinity of Solace?' He wondered to himself, but out of nowhere, a monotone voice answered his question.
| It is somewhat similar to the UNS Trinity of Solace, Fleet Admiral. But it is also different in a way. The UNS Trinity of Solace is a personalized warship of the Fleet Admiral. On the other hand, the airship has its own captain and crew under the authority of the highest of command. |
| The Prototype Advanced Hindenburg-Class Airship is part of the newest types of ships that was updated into the Naval Gacha System. There are many more of the Prototypes, ships that were merely imagined, not built. |
The explanation of Systema made the stupefied Abraham calm down. It seems that the update didn't only give him features, which was interesting. The fact that not only real warships, but imaginary ones got included was intriguing for the fleet admiral.
It made him wonder what the limits of the Naval Gacha System were.
'Though, I didn't think that my first non-American ship would be a prototype of a German airship.' He thought as despite expecting a warship not part of the US Navy, he wasn't expecting it to be an imagined German airship.
'But I guess this isn't too troublesome. After all, who knows what a Prototype Advanced Airship could do.' Abraham was undeniably curious about its capabilities.
However, the Random Naval Spin hasn't ended yet. After all, he bought two of them, costing him 2,000 Naval Points.
He turned his attention to the massive wheel in front of him. It was as if it waited for his attention before beginning the spinning session. A mechanical bell rang and like before, the arrow at the center rapidly spun.
*Ding!*
| Random Naval Spin Selected! |
| Triggering Spin… |
Abraham calmly waited for it to conclude. He wasn't as nervous as before since he had realized that the Prototype might have been under the adaptability and versatility. Even if he had gotten something inadequate, he wouldn't be too saddened by it.
Though, it appears that Abraham was in for a surprise.
Seconds passed by, Abraham watched with interest as the arrow passed through numerous classes and types in the Naval Random Spin. It didn't take long before the following notifications emerged before him.
| Revolution Terminating in 5…4…3…2…1… |
| Congratulations! You have received (Virginia-Class Block V Submarine)! |
He looked at the notification with a frozen expression. He wondered if fate was messing with him. He had little to no expectations, yet the Naval Gacha System seems to give him the best. Would reverse psychology work against his system?
'Nah, I'd rather not test it.' Abraham shook his head and turned his attention to his recently-gained warship. It was a submarine, his first one. And it was amongst the most powerful submarines in his former world.
From his memories, the Virginia-Class Block V Submarine was an attack submarine of the US Navy. It was equipped with usual armaments and conventional weapons along with advanced technology.
It would be able to sneak up into the shores of enemy territories with ease and assault them with the full power of an attack submarine. It was practically suited with ambushes.
'This is amongst the most versatile and adaptable warships I could have gained. I guess this is the early update luck I am getting.' Abraham thought after calming himself down. He turned his gaze towards the window of his office and saw golden light gleaming near his ports.
Every Naval Personnel watched the golden light with interest. After all, they have been told that the fleet admiral was about to summon more of their comrades into this world. Surprisingly, however, only one golden light brilliantly glowed in the seas.
The other golden light radiantly gleamed in the heavens. The Naval Personnel near the docks looked at the two and wondered why one of their ships was above them with the heavens.
Some even backed away, thinking that it would fall directly in the waters near them.
Abraham stared at the golden lights, which faded with time. What replaced the brilliance in the sea was a Virginia-Class Block V Attack Submarine. On the other hand, what emerged from the radiance in the heavens was none other than the Prototype Advanced Hindenburg-Class Airship.
It was a lot bigger than the UNS Trinity of Solace in terms of size, and it also proclaimed an intriguing futuristic look with its search lights scattered everywhere on its main body. It makes one wonder if it really was a human ship.
It seems to resemble an alien one.
"Damn, I didn't think it would be that big." Abraham muttered to himself while gazing at the airship in the skies above the Port of Dawn. If they had complete air supremacy, he wondered what his adversaries would feel upon fighting such behemoth.
"With the discovery of Adamantium, the United Navy would no longer be suppress by magicraft. We would limitless grow, unimpeded by anyone and anything." He declared while observing the magnificent scene before him.
The War for Liberation had already begun. And the finale was rising in the horizons. It was about time to see who rules over the sea region of Terra.
Abraham began to smirk as he remarked.
"I'm quite excited."
