Chapter 209: Target: Western Continent
"Oh God! This is the Royal Victory, whether the more than 2,000 people built a ship or a sea monster! ”
"Look! That's Sun Lin's crown! He personally participated in the launch of the Royal Victory! ”
When a huge ship with a wooden carving of the Virgin Mary more than 5 meters high hanging from the corner of the bow of the ship slowly sailed out of the shipyard, the people on the Crescent Harbor let out an earth-shattering cheer, and at this time, Sun Lin, who was dressed in admiral costume and wore a three-cornered hat and a knight's sword "Masha Milan", was standing on the bow of the ship with a straight waist, enjoying the cheers of the people on the left and the sea breeze blowing on the right.
The Royal Victory is not the famous British ship in the original world (the full name is the British Royal Navy Victory, this article is abbreviated), and at this time, the original world does not want the Royal Victory, that is, whether a gun on the Royal Victory can be manufactured is a question. The Royal Victory that Sun Lin was riding at this time did not belong to the ranks of super-first-class warships, at most reached the level of second-class warships, with a total length of about 55 meters and a width of more than 11 meters, a total of 3 layers of board design, a total of 5 sails and 500 sailors, and of course, 50 members of the guard in addition to Sun Linrio. The model of the ship used in this Royal Victory is a model of the late medieval Karak Megaship, but it has been completely modified here.
Because it is a three-layer board design, and there are 3 layers inside the hull, so that the Royal Victory is more than the other Hawker A-class warships placed on both sides of the scorpion crossbow, and the Royal Victory on both sides of the total 88 naval scorpion crossbows, that is to say, on both sides of the ship each side has 44 naval scorpion crossbows, this latest type of naval combat scorpion crossbow is smaller in size, out of the structure is strong and the weight is relatively light, although the steel gun shot is twice as small as the improved land scorpion crossbow, but the accuracy and penetration are improved here, Unless someone wraps all the sound of the ship with iron plates, even the multi-layer wooden veneer design of the Da'an house ship can't stop the penetration of the naval battle scorpion crossbow.
Located on both sides of the deck on the surface of the Victory, there are 6 canister throwing bows on each side, and of course there are more than a dozen spare in the cargo hold of the ship, anyway, the weight of this small design weapon is no different from the weight of the Victory, which has a strong load. And at the bow and stern of the Victory there are also two miniature versions of the city-defending giant crossbows that have not diminished in power, the only feasible thing is that the environmental victory belongs to a flagship, not a professional warship, so there is no small counterweight trebuchet used in medieval naval warfare installed on the ship, of course, compared to the two city-defending crossbows, what can those trebuchets be? You must know the power of the giant crossbow in naval battles, but if you hit it accurately, you can break the keel of the small haya boat and the thousand stone ship at once, or leave a large hole with a diameter of more than 5 meters on the Da'an house ship.
At the same time, the appearance of the Royal Victory was like the beginning, with a burst of splashing sounds, one ship after another from the shipbuilding warehouse was pulled out by people with a fiber rope with the help of the cylindrical driftwood under the hull, in the shouts of many sailors, the first mate sounded, when the white sails fell, there were no less than 30 more warships on the right side of the Royal Victory, including 4 Hawker Heavy Class A 5-sail battleships, the largest number of Hawker standard class 3-sail battleships and about 6 Hawker double-sail assault ships.
However, compared to Sun Lin's Royal Victory, the size and configuration of these battleships are more frosty, for example, there are only 4 naval scorpion crossbows and 2 can-throwing bows on the Hawker double-sail assault battleship, and 12 naval scorpion crossbows and 4 can-throwing bows plus a small counterweight trebuchet on the Hawker double-sail assault battleship, while the Hawker weighted A-class 5-sail battleship has 32 naval scorpion crossbows and 6 can-throwing bows and two small counterweight trebuchets at the head and tail.
However, those who are attentive will notice that these two slender and dark iron pipes are installed under the corners of the collision between the bow of the Gare, Hawkgar and the Victory, which look like the head horns of a sea monster, as for the Hawker Double Sail Assault Battleship, there is only one slender and dark iron pipe, and the mouth is tilted towards the bow and mounted on the bow of the ship, instead of the wooden carving hanging on the bow of the ship, and at the bow of the Hawk Double Sail Assault Battleship, there is also an iron baffle that blocks the view behind the iron pipe.
"Leo, how is the situation of the fleets of the Sardinian, Herakon and Rhodes Islands, have they already set off for the Western Sea Continent?" Sun Lin, who reacted from the cheers, turned to Leo's side and asked Leo.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the fleet of the 3rd Leader has already completed the launch yesterday afternoon, and has begun to sail towards our outpost on the Western Continent, if the weather is fine, the wind direction does not change, and the speed and course of the Victory remain unchanged, then I think we should be able to meet with those 3 fleets in about 1 week."
"Well, but we'll have to wait a little bit before we go." Sun Lin nodded to Leo and said, and then, after all the ships were lined up side by side on both sides of the Royal Victory, Sun Lin also ordered the Victory to turn the bow of the ship and face the bow of the ship directly in front of the port exit, and Sun Lin also walked up to the bow, at this time the cheers of the harbor had stopped, and only the sound of waves and seagulls sounded in the Crescent Harbor.
"Soldiers, I think you still remember last Christmas, the shameless Xiyi attacked our trading merchant ship and slaughtered more than 100 of our sailors, I know if you were angry at the time, and I also know that you were skeptical about my decision to endure it first, but I still say that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. The Empire on which the sun never sets has lost hundreds of elite sailor brothers, and I can't let more soldiers die in vain because of revenge, and I also said that day, today, when our strongest fleet is reorganized, I will give you an answer, now come back to me, is this answer satisfactory? Sun Lin walked up to the bow of the boat and shouted loudly with his own strap.
"Satisfied !!"
"Very good, I won't talk any more nonsense, all of us will follow the Royal Victory to conquer the Xiyi people! Let Xiyi know the majesty of the sea overlord is not so easy to touch! Let those Xiyi people moan like wild dogs under our sword! Now, hoist the sails! ”
"Roar!! Following Sun Lin's order, nearly 40 battleships that never set sun, under the leadership of the Royal Victory, sailed towards the outside of the Crescent Harbor and sailed to the battlefield in the west for the position of the supremacy of the Western Sea............
