Chapter 236: The Elf Arrives (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Well, that's all we have. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Lothar clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention back: "I know that it will take a long time for a country to transition from peacetime to war, and I thank the kings for their efforts and support. What we have to think about now is how to use these troops to fight a series of beautiful victories. I don't want to destroy an entire tribe in one decisive battle, but I want to lead everyone to win all the way, from one victory to another. ”
The king's generals applauded.
At this time, Duke suddenly smiled: "Your Excellency, it seems that this is not all the troops you have now. ”
"Who else?" Lothar was really stunned for a moment, the troops sent by the Seven Human Kingdoms as promised, except for those deployed on the Beiliu Coast, were all here. The dwarves are still too busy to take care of themselves, and there is no way to spare them.
"How did you forget the High Elves?" At this moment, Duke was radiant, and there was still a little excitement on his face, and that joy was really something that anyone could see.
"High Elves?"
"No way! Didn't they join the League?" the kings disclaimed.
"That bullshit councillor. "King Eden of Alterac spewed out his poisonous tongue without hesitation.
As if remembering something, Antonidas touched his pure white long beard: "If someone else is the commander, it will be impossible." But it's you who is in charge...... Anduin Lothar. That's another story. Have you forgotten? The High Elves have made an ancient pact with us humans since the time of Soladin the Great. ”
"The Old Covenant......" Lothar muttered to himself, and it occurred to him that there was such a thing. But there had been so much going on lately, and the High Elves had been so cold before, that Lothar had almost forgotten about it.
Antonidas touched his white beard, looked at Duke who was a little restless, and smiled: "Hehe, I think it's better for the two commanders to meet them." ”
Antonidas was indeed steady, and he knew that the performance of Darkan, a member of the Silver Moon Council, had angered most of the kings on the day of the alliance, and most of the kings would definitely not go for the sake of face.
And it definitely won't be the Sun King himself. Then it makes perfect sense not to greet it.
It was only then that a sentry hurried to the gate of the headquarters and reported: "The elves are coming." ”
"Oh, we already knew. Lothar said lightly.
"We didn't get a report from a patrol ship until the elven ship was almost within five nautical miles......" The sentry, apparently from Kul Tiras, said in a bitter voice.
Lothar didn't blame the poor sentry: "It's okay, the patrol in the sea area off Nanhai Town, as well as the Naga and the fish-people under the command of the deputy commander. ”
When the sentry heard this, he retreated with relief.
Lothar looked around: "Okay, Your Majesty, Your Excellency, after all, the arrival of the elves represents the attitude of a powerful country on the continent. If you wish, come with me to meet the messenger of the Sun King Anastrian. The rest of your majesty, you can rest here for a while. ”
After a little thought, it was Lane, Daelin, and Antonidas who followed Lothar, Duke, and Tulayan to the docks.
Although Dalin was not too relaxed, he was extremely concerned about how many ships the elves could bring to him, the admiral, the commander-in-chief of the sea fleet.
Ryan simply wants to see the alliance strong. Antonidas didn't know what he was thinking.
At this moment, more than 20 clippers with typical High Elf characteristics on the sea are flying like arrows on the sea.
"Hahaha! I can't wait to see the humans in a hurry. Just now I had my men completely evade the patrol of their ships and enter through the gap in the patrol net. Anyway, with such a good view in broad daylight, they won't mistake our High Elves ship for an orc-broken ship, right?"
A calm voice interrupted the first voice: "Sorry, humans discovered us 10 nautical miles ago. ”
"How is that possible?!" exclaimed the owner of the first voice.
"My gut tells me that's the case, and while I haven't found a human scout ship either, I just feel the gaze, and more than one. There can be no mistake. ”
Walking out of the headquarters to the top of the hill near the sea, the eyes were cast on the Elven Clipper as it broke the waves toward the harbor in the distance.
Compared to the tall hulls of humans, elven clippers are flatter. The long, streamlined hull is made of hard starwood found only in the Quel'Salas woods. Not only is it hard, but it's also lighter than most boat wood.
Not only is the hull carved with a large number of delicate patterns dominated by curves, but the edges of the hull are also loaded with more than a dozen magically enchanted blade throwing cars. A huge triangular throwing blade consisting of three sharp cones, it is in no way inferior in range to the average cannon of a human being.
The bow of the ship is a typical horned eagle beast pecking bird, and at full speed, this seemingly decorative bow statue can also be used to ram horns, allowing the elf clipper to cut through the hull of a medium-sized or lower ship like a blade slicing through butter, completely crushing them.
"Elven destroyer. Naval expert Dalein Prodmore whispered, "Faster and lighter than our Kul Tiras's reconnaissance ships - they carry fewer weapons, but they also give them considerable speed." This is a good, no, excellent addition to our fleet. ”
After saying that, the alliance admiral frowned: "But that's too little, right? I only saw 8 light clippers and 16 ultra-light reconnaissance ships." This is just the configuration of two battle groups. ”
"Maybe there's more behind the horizon?" said Tulayan in a reassuring tone from the other side of Lothar.
"No!" Admiral Dai Lin shook his head with great certainty: "It's not their habit, and if there are no accidents, it's already all they have." ”
There was indescribable disappointment in Dalin's tone. Perhaps it was Duke's generosity that made him have more expectations, and the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Especially after having to divide his troops to garrison the open sea area off the coast of Beiliu, Dai Lin had an unusual desire for the number of warships.
He knew very well that it was impossible for the fleet to protect the coastline of the entire northern continent well.
"24 ships also represent an increase in the combat power of 24 ships in our fleet. Duke comforted Admiral Dalin: "As you just said, this is at least an excellent addition to our fleet. (To be continued.) )
