Chapter 212: Preparing for a Naval Battle (Part II)

The group came to the edge of the ice. Salin looked at the hundreds of people who were following him, he didn't make any demagogic speeches, just handed the dimensional stone to Neris and said, "Let the battleship be launched." ”

With such a huge battleship, taken out of the dimensional stone, even if Salin's spiritual power is no different from that of a magician, it is still a heavy burden, and every time he collects and releases it, it will consume most of his spiritual power. Anyway, even if Nellis's mental power is used up, her ability to fight hand-to-hand is still there.

Neris didn't say anything, she jumped into the icy water, and she didn't see what skill she used, the water only reached her ankles. Without the flicker of magical light, a huge battleship suddenly appeared, and everyone felt an oncoming force, as if it was weighing heavily on their hearts.

The two-hundred-meter-long battleship was all cyan, and at the bow was a huge dragon head, without any decoration. Two sharp dragon horns stretched forward, as if to pierce everything in front of them. Even if it's a mountain.

Rumble!

There was suddenly such a behemoth in the seawater, and the squeezed out of the sea suddenly made a popping sound, and the water splashed dozens of meters high, and Kornuk and Passatro released the invisible shield in time, avoiding everyone from becoming a chicken in the soup.

Click......

The battleship writhed in the water, giving the impression that it was an illusion. The huge scales made of thundercloud wood rubbed against each other, and the sound was almost inaudible.

"Get on board. Salin smiled, and dozens of skeletons nimbly jumped dozens of meters, jumped onto the deck, and got into the cabin. The turtle alchemy ship slowly came to the bottom of the battleship, and the winged skeletons commanded these skeletons inside, and found the magic array that controlled the battleship. Although these skeletons have wisdom, but they can't release any magic, they are under the command of the winged skeletons, and the magic core they carry is embedded in the corresponding parts, and the dragon skeleton battleship is officially activated, approaching the ice.

The bone wings on one side slowly spread out and landed on the ice, and everyone followed Saleen to the deck of the battleship.

"Kornuko, you are the captain for the time being, this is the structure of the battleship. Salin handed a drawing to Kornuko. The magicians went to find their place, and Salin called to the winged skeleton and said, "I only left Zola in the city, you don't follow, if anything happens in the city, you should inform me as soon as possible." ”

"Master, my contact with you. After more than twelve miles or so, it will be completely disconnected!" said the Wing Skull with some concern.

"I'll go to the natural harbor to the south, do you remember that place?"

"Yes. Winged Skull replied.

The natural harbor of Saleen is four hundred miles south of the city of Metatrin. The natural conditions of this port are better than those of Metatrin City, although it is only 400 miles away, but the freezing period is significantly shorter. However, the land in this location is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side, so there is no way to communicate with the land except from the sea.

It's okay to build it as a fortress, but it's not possible to be a commercial city.

Saleen had always been thinking about this place, but he had to think about income as he built the city. Even if you don't do business, you have to farm. This harbor is a dead land, with a land area of only a few tens of square miles. It would be enough to build a city in such a large place, but all the food in the city would have to be transported by sea.

The city of Metatrin is bordered by plains to the north by several rivers, and to the south there are hundreds of bungalows where land can be cultivated. Self-sufficiency is not a problem. And there is a gap in the mountains to the west of Metatrin City, which leads to the plains in the distance, with more land and a connection to Phoenix.

Salin calculated in his heart that the speed of the warship he could build must have exceeded seventy miles, and this natural harbor was only four hundred miles away from the city of Metatrin. That's less than six hours away. It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, so you can build a fortress to support each other with Metatrin City.

As long as this fortress is built, the only way to attack is by sea, and there is no need to worry about being attacked from land. When the mages from Shreg Island arrive, a large number of warehouses can be built here to store grain for a long time, and the grain purchased and harvested by themselves in the future can be placed here, which is absolutely safe.

Of course, if you can have an artifact like Rex's Ring of the HRE, you don't have to worry about food storage.

Most of the dragon wreck battleship was submerged in the water, and after the magic array was activated, it floated up normally. If the skeleton goes up slowly, I'm afraid the battleship will sink directly to the bottom of the sea. After the mage and the skull gate were in their respective positions, the bone wings on both sides of the dragonwreck battleship reshaped slightly, and the stern of the ship swayed, quickly turning around and heading south.

Saleen keenly felt that the speed at which the battleship turned around was at least ten times faster than that of a sea ship of the same size. And when the dragon's tail swung, the battleship itself did not undergo any violent shocks. On the back deck of the battleship, three magic arrays formed a triangle and were stimulated, and in the center of the triangle, a huge magic sail with a height of more than forty meters slowly appeared.

It's necromancy, the Sail of Shadows, which has no offensive power, and is also used to steer ships on the undead plane. The Skull Gate raises this shadow sail, which reduces the consumption of core power.

The ones that Salin handed over to the skeletons were all fourth-level magic cores, and there were no high-end goods. After all, it's too wasteful to power ships with high-grade magic cores.

After the Sail of Shadows is raised. The speed of the dragon wreck battleship did not increase, and the huge battleship silently headed south. Generally speaking, sailing ships can only reach their maximum speed when they are headwind, and sailing downwind is a great test for sailors, requiring strong boat control ability.

But these skeletons are tireless and largely infallible. Salin stood on the front deck with peace of mind, the sea in front of him was broken by the battleship, and the sound of the water was stirring.

If you want to make this ship have combat effectiveness, you must constantly let the sailors and swordsmen cooperate and practice, which is another expense! Salin thought helplessly, the core power of this ship relies on the fourth-level magic core, which consumes at least six in an hour, and it will be more when fighting.

Six fourth-level magic cores, even if they are not purchased in the store, are more than a thousand gold coins. As the magic core that drives the magic array, it must be of the best quality, and it is impossible to deal with defective products, otherwise it is still good that the magic array cannot function, and it may even explode.

The large number of fourth-level demon cores obtained by Saleen could not be sold, because there were too many of them, so he took them out and sold them, which immediately caused the price of the magic cores to fall. Sell less. And it doesn't make any sense.

A thousand gold coins an hour, the drive of this dragon wreck battleship is to burn money. However, the speed of this battleship was so satisfying that he replaced part of the power with the Shadow Sail, and it easily reached seventy miles. At this time, the consumption of the magic core will be reduced by at least half, and the magic array will be fully activated during the battle.

If you hadn't gone to the Frozen Sea, you wouldn't have been able to afford such a battleship.

In less than five hours, the dragon wreck battleship came to the natural harbor, where the width of the sea was only a dozen miles wide, and Saleen was trying to stop the battleship, everyone went to see the natural harbor, and by the way drew a detailed map. Good to go back and design a fortress. Suddenly, a swordsman from Shreig Island ran up to the deck and said to Salin, "My lord, the captain has spotted the battleship approaching. ”

"How close?" Salin asked. He also knew that it wouldn't be too far away, and that the magic compass could only monitor a limited distance. The sudden appearance of the battleship was already at least fifty miles away.

"At a distance of about eighty miles, the battleship should not be large, about eighty to a hundred meters, otherwise we can find it earlier. ”

"How many are there?"

"Six, one formation. ”

Salin calculated in his heart that if the enemy's battleship performed well, he would be able to discover the existence of this battleship after half an hour at most. Salin is not afraid, the battleship below a hundred meters carries a limited number of magic trebuchets, and it is impossible to pose any threat to his ship.

No matter how good the magic trebuchet is, the attack distance is about five miles, and although his dragon skeleton battleship has not yet produced bone spirits, he doesn't have to be afraid of these ships. It's just that what are these ships doing in the north? There are no cities in the north that stop there, and it is estimated that Lianyun City has been in place for a long time, and these ships can only belong to the island countries of the East China Sea.

Could it be that he didn't kill it last time, ran away from someone, and was discovered by the expeditionary force in his city?

Salin still made some mistakes in his calculations, and if the magic compass wants to find the target, it usually has to be compared with the familiar charts, or the target is too obvious. The fact that his dragonwreck battleship could detect so far was entirely due to the undead eye on the dragon's head. The Eye of the Dead works with a magic compass to find any target that has a breath of life.

It was a little difficult for the fleet in the distance to find Salin's battleship, the dragon wreck battleship was completely closed, only a few people stood on the deck, and the magic compass might not be able to identify it.

"My lord, what should I do?" the swordsman was still waiting for Saleen's order.

Salin thought about it, if the turtle alchemy ship was there, it would not be a problem to deal with these six ships, but now he has no bone spirit, so he can only use the most stupid way to get close to the enemy ship and board the ship to fight. Although there are fewer warriors here, there are three great magicians. There are also Shika and Neris there, and it is impossible for the battleship on the opposite side to have such strong combat power.

"Catch up, as long as it's not the battleship of Alchemy City, all of them will be sunk. ”

The swordsman bowed, and went back below deck. The battleships on Sleeper Island also have ramming angles, but if they are six against each other, they will sink all of them, and this swordsman will inevitably be a little unbelieving.

"Let's go down too. Salin said to Shika and Neris who had been following him. The battleship collides, the force is quite large, when this dragon wreck battleship is designed, only the internal compartment can alleviate the feeling of concussion, and Saleen will definitely make a mess when he stands on the deck.

Unlike regular warships, the captain's quarters of the Dragonwreck are below deck, and the buildings on the deck are for swordsmen. The swordsmen had assembled and waited for orders, and once entangled with the enemy ships, they were to board the enemy ships to fight. With the help of the sailors, the swordsmen began to put on their armor and inspect their weapons. In the captain's room below deck, Kornuko stared at the magic compass, where the six targets were getting closer and closer, and had turned around and headed towards the dragonwreck.
