Chapter 408: Roaring in the Sea Fog

A deep and dignified steam whistle echoed over the sea, as sacred steam gushed from the core cabin of the ship, shaking the towering smokestack of the Sea Mist and every intricate pipe within it. Amid this war horn-like wailing of the steam whistle, all sailors sprang into action.

Lifts creaked as they transported shells and heavy artillery rounds into the combat ammunition depot below the gun deck, steam pipes roared ceaselessly, channeling the hallowed gas into various essential mechanisms and blessed areas. Sailors moved back and forth across the deck and corridors, each taking their positions for battle.

When the whistle sounded a second time, the small chapel at the rear of the Sea Mist rang its copper bell, signaling the blessing of the Storm Goddess, and bestowing Gomona's grace upon this fearsome warship considered "cursed" by the world.
