The Andrea-class high-speed battleship, because it is the shape of a flying clipper, is definitely a high-speed battleship in the sail era, and Andrea Doria, who is known as the strongest gunboat, really has nothing to do with it, and it definitely has nothing to do with her daughter Ellie.

We all know that this battleship is the famous shipbuilder Reading? Mr. Kilton's work, which has been equipped with the Neosfia Navy for nearly twenty years, is far from obsolete. It is a fast warship that combines high speed, protection and carrying capacity, and can be called the perfect work of the era of sail warships. Of course, when it comes to protection and firepower, it is naturally not comparable to the dozens of behemoths of the Neosfia Mobile Fleet that are used to dominate the sea and deter foreign enemies, and it is impossible to compare with the High Elf Ancestor Shenzhou. However, the power and speed are both combined.

The design concept determines the main work of the Andrea-class high-speed warships, which are usually responsible for coastal patrol, vigilance and escort, and pursuit and suppression of bandits.

In Lu Xi's view, the definition of the Andrea class should actually be a heavy cruiser. However, because its tonnage and combat effectiveness were much more powerful than the active cruisers of any country or force on both sides of the Chenhai Sea, the Neosfia merchants, who were very pragmatic in most cases but especially liked to pretend at some times, insisted on giving the Andrea-class "high-speed battleship" such a slotted classification.

A normal Andrea-class "high-speed battleship" can be matched with nearly 200 sailors and crews at most when it is engaged in a full-scale war, but it is only about 100 people when patrolling in peacetime. Despite this, the 100 sailors were all full-time professional soldiers, well-equipped, well-trained, and with high morale, enjoying the heavy offerings of the Dominion of Neosfia. In the event of a real battle, such an Andrea-class battleship, plus a hundred soldiers, would be enough to expel seven or eight pirate ships and hundreds of pirates like ducks.

Like a lion patrolling its territory, the Andrea-class battleship swaggered over. He didn't seem to be ready to pursue the two runaway pirate ships, but he immediately approached the Hope. The sailors and doctors soon got on board and began to treat and comfort the wounded.

As soldiers, their first thought is not to pursue the enemy to earn their heads, but to protect and rescue ordinary citizens, and from this point of view, the Neosfia Navy is indeed quite professional and humane, and very worthy of love. This can be seen from the reassuring expressions of the frightened and helpless citizens. This scene is indeed very easy to remind our protagonist of the subordinate soldiers in his hometown, if it weren't for the open hanging, Lu Xi would really almost believe it.

It was precisely because he didn't believe it at all, so when a middle-aged officer wearing the uniform of a naval officer of Neosfia, wearing a special sea tarpaulin armor, with a capable face and a burly body, as if he contained the aura of a "perfect soldier" in every pore, walked in front of Lu Xi with powerful steps, the smile that the latter responded to him became more and more bright, and the charm value and sparkle were even at least ninety-nine percent higher than before.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xi was very happy to see a flash of amazement and trance in the other party's eyes, and even a trace of ruddyness.

Rosy? Why is the word "hemp egg" used on an old man so terrifying! Also, you're a big man with three big faces, and you're blushing!

Fortunately, as a "perfect soldier", even if there is a slight gaffe, it will be very quick to adjust your mood. Mr. First Officer quickly regained his composure and gave a solemn military salute: "I asked the citizens just now, and according to their words, you are the magician who repelled the pirates, right?" I'm Gobin, Second Officer on the Tollis, Master, could I invite you to come and sit down for a moment? I'm sure Your Excellency Captain would like that. ”

"What? Is this preparing to arrest me? Lu Xi smiled.

"You're overthinking, it's just routine." Gobin's face did not change: "Of course, I also hope to be able to consult you about the details of the matter. After all, those pirates relied on your strength to repel them step by step, but in this way, you are the one who knows best which pirates on the Hope are coming from and what their purpose is, compared to the ordinary citizens. Of course, we will report to the Dominion Government as soon as you return to the port for your exploits in repelling pirates and saving so many citizens. You will definitely get the honor and reward you deserve, I guarantee it in the honor of a soldier! ”

Lu Xi looked at each other with interest, looking up and down, but he didn't speak. A few seconds passed, and of course the other party still had a straight face, maintaining the cold demeanor of a soldier, but there was gradually a trace of well-hidden panic in his eyes.

"Does your captain have the best wine and the Auckland court banquet, plus a dozen bikini-dancing hula papers waiting to be served?"

“…… This, this, alcohol is not allowed on duty on the mission, and it is impossible to have prostitutes on the warship. Your request, this, is too ......" Mr. Second Officer sweated profusely.

"Second mate, has anyone ever said that you are a person with a rather no sense of humor?"

“…… Uh, I'm ashamed of it. The second mate lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to let Lu Xi see his expression.

"Well, then, I'll have you to lead the way." Lu Xi patted the other party's shoulder and said with a smile.

The second lieutenant hurriedly made a gesture of invitation as if he had been pardoned, and then walked cautiously in front of Lu Xi, as if he was the companion of a certain big man who went out on patrol. It is really in stark contrast to the image of the perfect officer who is capable and fierce at a glance a few minutes ago. For some reason, even though it was only two minutes, Mr. Gobin felt as if two hours had passed, and he felt as if he was under tremendous pressure all the time. Although the other party kept laughing, he always felt that the other party could turn into a giant beast of the wilderness at any time, tearing the bones of both of them to pieces.

"Delusion, huh? This must be a delusion, right? The second mate secretly wiped the sweat stains oozing from his forehead.

"Hey...... I said, Mr. Gobin. ”

"Huh...... Oh! Huhu, that, master, is there anything else you can do? ”

"I said you, it's like a frightened bird that has been scared out of a nervous breakdown, am I so terrible?" Lu Xi sighed: "Cheer up!" If the officers of the Neosfia Navy were to remain in such a state of mind, how helpless would ordinary citizens be? ”

You are an alien spellcaster, who is qualified to make irresponsible remarks about the spiritual outlook of my glorious and great Neosfia Navy! I really don't know whether to live or die! Mr. Gobin may have thought so in his heart at this time. But in fact, what comes out of the mouth is: "Yes, yes!" Let you see the joke. I will definitely find a way to correct it next time, and I will never do it again next time......"

I've really disgraced the face of the Neosfia Navy! Gobin's second mate was grief-stricken.

"Since I'm on the ship, I should take your warship back to the city, right? So what should everyone on the Hope do? ”

"Well, don't worry, we've now sent a group of sailors aboard to treat the wounded and repair the ship. Fortunately, the Hope was not badly damaged, the mast and main rudder were not damaged, and it was still able to set sail reluctantly, and our Toris would accompany the escort all the way until it returned to Neosfia. ”

"Instead of chasing pirates, do you put the safety of the citizens first?" Lu Xi showed an inexplicable smile: "You are really the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, the teacher of the king!" ”

"Makes you laugh again! However, the Neosfia Navy was originally a soldier of the Capital of the Seven Seas, and the safety of the citizens naturally came first. The second mate puffed up his chest, and Lu Xi's "compliment" seemed to make him regain a little more energy: "In addition, behind our Tuolis, there are two fast warships coming, and those disgusting sea rats will definitely not be able to escape!" ”

"It's really reassuring!" Lu Xi smiled and echoed the other party, stepping onto the deck of the Tollis.

On the deck of the battleship, the sailors were all armed and with swords in hand, not like they were rescuing the citizens, but more like they were preparing for a bad battle. Lu Xi, the "uninvited guest", swaggered on the boat, and there was a third person on the boat in front of him to lead the way, this scene was naturally very eye-catching, but in Lu Xi's opinion, it was not so much that the sailors were curious, but that they were sharpening their knives and examining their prey.

However, after Lu Xi's gaze swept over, these sailors all avoided his gaze a little stiffly.

"Oh, sure enough! One person can practice, and ten or twenty people can also perform, but it is impossible for everyone to perform a hundred people. It's good to be able to get to this point. If I hadn't been prepared, maybe I could have fooled the past. Lu Xi thought so.

The expression on his face remained the same, with a leisurely smile on his face from beginning to end, and in the short time he had walked from the deck to the bridge, he had already memorized the number of people, the equipment, and even the strength and preferences of each person here. For a person of extraordinary strength who needs a lot of calculations when fighting, mental power and intelligence are far different from mortals, and this shorthand work is not a problem at all, not even a golden finger.

Like most sailboats, the entrance under the bridge leads directly to the cabin on the first level, ending in the captain's quarters.

We all know that the Navy is an "elegant" service. Naval officers often aim for the benchmark of aristocratic gentlemen with elegance, taste, courage and honor, regardless of how dirty they are for the time being, but at least on the surface they must show a polite and gentle demeanor, just from the aura and style must throw the army deer several dimensions away, otherwise it will be disqualified. Of course, this style is not only about dressing and behaving, but also about living and working in an environment that reflects the same degree of luxury. The tall image of an "elegant" naval officer can be erected in this way.

The Captain's Quarters of the Torlies were probably built to reflect this style.

The captain's quarters, located in the deepest part of the cabin on the first floor, are about 100 square meters in size and are divided into three compartments. They are the captain's bedroom, the study office, and the outermost living room.

The living room is luxuriously decorated, with an arcane chandelier from Nadia hanging from the ceiling, a crystal coffee table and sofa from Auckland, and a beautiful Sosnes blanket on the floor. Floor-to-ceiling windows on one side look out onto the sea outside the cabin, and on one side the inner wall hangs oil paintings, vases, wine coolers and small tables for snacks.

At first glance, it doesn't look like a cabin at all, but more like a room in a luxury five-star hotel.

There were five people sitting in the living room, and when they saw Mr. Gobin bring Lu Xi in, they all stood up.

A sturdy young man in the uniform of a naval officer, about thirty years old. The decorative stripes on his uniform were much more complicated than those of the second officer, and he was naturally superior, and that should be the captain of the "high-speed battleship" Thollis - the navy was a place of seniority, and the captain of this age was too young. However, it is obvious that this kind of unspoken rule is definitely useless to the protagonist-style peerless genius and the Zhao family. Lu Xi thinks that it must be the latter, because only one protagonist in the world needs himself.

One was an old man dressed in a maroon robe, who looked to be over sixty years old. His beard was white, his eyebrows were kind, and his face was full of a kind smile, and if you ignore his robes and staff, he would be more like an old merchant who has been doing small business all his life.

A beautiful girl around twenty years old, although her age is still between a girl and a royal sister, her temperament is quite mature, and even quite majestic. She had beautiful long dark gray hair, which seemed to be covered with silver light between the ends of her hair, and she stood in the beautiful hunting clothes of a noble lady in the tradition of a noble lady. There was a thin sword hanging from his waist, and he looked Lu Xi up and down, as if he was looking at a big doll, smiling like a flower.

A man in the prime of his forties, with an ordinary figure, an ordinary appearance, an ordinary temperament, and ordinary clothes. Such a person, if he didn't sit in this living room, would definitely be ignored by Lu Xi.

In the end, it was a little girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a very ordinary student school uniform, sitting next to a man in the prime of life. She can be regarded as a delicate beauty embryo, but in the eyes of Lu Xi, who is used to seeing stunning beauties, this girl still looks too ordinary, both in temperament and presence. At most, you can get the crush of some ordinary boys in ordinary schools and ordinary classes, even if you want to evaluate a class flower, it's a little reluctant.

"What a battle!" Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "So, who of you is in charge here?" Also, are we going to just hit it, or are we going to do it in a very traditional way, and then we start fighting? (To be continued.) )
