Chapter 258: Thoughts on Motherships (Part I)
Back in Quel'Thalas, after a series of wars, the life of the elves is no longer as leisurely and leisurely as before, and all the elves have entered a fiery state of development.
The polymath in charge of the construction of the city, the farmer who ploughed the fields, the mage who enchanted weapons, and the alchemist who prepared medicine for the army were all in full swing.
With the high-level living conditions and excellent quality of life in Silvermoon City, coupled with the diligent elves, the development of the entire Quel'Salas is almost rushing forward.
The land cleanup has almost reached Sunny Breeze Village, and after the Death Marks have been cleansed, the Erudito are rebuilding Salas Avenue that has been eroded by the plague.
Before the invasion of the Plague, Salas Avenue was a transportation artery through the Yongsong Forest and the Wraith Land, directly connecting to the Salas Trail, connecting with the Elven Gate, which was the transportation of the entire Quel'Salas Kingdom, and rebuilding the Salas Avenue was an essential thing to revive the Quel'Thalas Kingdom.
Silvermoon City, Silvermoon Council.
Patrick's return to Silvermoon City immediately summoned all the members of the council, this trip to the Western Plague was more fruitful than the last trip to Filas, Keldaron Island has been completely owned by the blood elves, and there are two small dragons guarding it, Patrick's actions are tantamount to opening up territory for Quel'Thalas, which is the only achievement achieved by Patrick since the founding of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas.
Patrick saw the excited crowd around him and motioned for everyone to calm down: "This campaign has been a great success, and thanks to the great support of all of you, we will be able to add a new territory to the kingdom." ”
The people around were a little embarrassed, in fact, they also knew that the entire army and Lord Regent basically had nothing to do when they went out together, and the only thing they did was some work such as building cities, cleaning up the battlefield, carrying food, and cleaning up the remnants of the enemy.
The real fighters are those who have been sent to the New Elven Gate and the troops of Antellas and Ann Ovien, and we have to guard against the activities of the Scourge and the trolls, who are the warriors who come into contact with the enemy on the front line.
But then again, after all, it is easier to fight and difficult to defend, after Patrick led the army to defeat Eredani and Keldaron Island, it is still a little difficult for the blood elf troops stationed in the two places to control two completely unfamiliar places, and the surrounding climate, terrain, and human data need to be re-determined in order for the army to get detailed information.
"This time I was inspired by this battle outside." Patrick tapped the battle report in his hand, which was the report that Lotherma Theron had compiled and handed over to the Standing Committee of the Parliament: "The two main battlefields of this battle, one is the city of Andorhar, and the other is the Barov Castle on the island of Keldaron, the former is flat, and the city is built in the center of the road, and it is easy to attack Andorhar. ”
"But during the attack on the Barov family castle, I had an idea. What do you think of our navy in Quel'Thalas? ”
As soon as Patrick's question was raised, all the Standing Committee members instantly froze, and then Hadurun Mingyi slowly stood up and said, "Lord Regent, if you only look at the equipment configuration, Quel'Salas's unicorn fleet is the well-deserved navy of Azeroth. ”
This is true of what Haduron said, after all, all the warships of Quel'Salas are magic-driven ships, and the Unicorn Legion has no distinction between military and civilian, all ships are built according to the standards of warships, only large and small.
In the pre-Dark Gate era, Quel'Salas's ships were still frequent, and shipping and maritime trade were prevalent, so it was easier to travel anywhere along the coastline by boat.
But when it comes to naval warfare, the elves probably haven't fought a naval battle for thousands of years, and the entire Quel'Thalas's navy is naturally not good, but there are so many ships running around the air.
"In the world of Azeroth, the end of the continent is all the sea, boundless, except for those goblins, only the fleet of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras is not bad, and we, although we have a magic fleet, but our navy is useless." Patrick's voice was loud.
"Lord Regent, there is a reason for this. Because the sunwell was still there, and the arcane energy was overflowing, so in Quel'Thalas, you can directly teleport to most places, only large people and materials can only be teleported in a stable space, and ordinary mages want other places easily, so in the end, the main thing for the unicorn army is to run shipping. ”
Indeed, there has never been the idea of developing a navy, and the unicorn army is all supported by eating old books and the magical creations of Quel'Salas, and if it can be strong, there will be ghosts.
"From now on, we have to abandon the ideas of the past, and now we have to prepare to build a world-class navy, and the entire unicorn army must be reconditioned." Patrick stretched out his hand, and a magical image of the world map instantly appeared in front of everyone's eyes: "We have the world's top armament, we have the world's most proficient sailors, first mates and captains, why can't we build a top navy to gallop in the oceans?" ”
You must know that as early as 6800 years ago, the ships of the High Elves were the best in all of Azeroth, and at that time, the High Elves could cross the entire Endless Sea unimpeded, and now, although they can still do business all over the world, the attack ability of the fleet is not even as good as that of the goblins, not to mention the navy formed with Kurtiras.
"Look, everybody." The magical image in Patrick's hand turned into a large warship, which was not actually a new type of warship, but Patrick used several warships to combine them to become a behemoth---- aircraft carrier.
"The attack power of this new type of warship itself is not outstanding, and the main structure consists of hangars, ship islands, flight decks, weapons depots, reserve depots, etc."
Hadurun-Mingyi coordinated military affairs, and he could see the difference of the aircraft carrier at a glance: "Lord Regent, is this aircraft carrier going to carry air force units?" ”
Patrick replied in the affirmative: "That's right, the aircraft carrier flight deck is the area where the Dragon Eagle Knight takes off and lands, as you can see, the aircraft carrier does not have many attack muzzles, and the main design is the core supply and command role, the entire mothership is like a city, and the Dragon Eagle Knights on the mothership can effectively give target strikes." ”
"But Lord Regent, with so many supplies and supplies on board the mothership, and relatively few defenses, isn't this a target for the enemy?" ** Division Romans put forward his point of view that if this problem is not solved,
