Blue sky,

In the late autumn season, the emptiness is spotless,

Crystal clear clouds, faintly covered with a thin layer of sand in the sky,

The beautiful and clear surface of the Satsuma Kuri River, the river is like scales, and the merchant ships are like weaving,

The white sails are like clouds flowing between heaven and earth, and they are extraordinarily gorgeous.

"Pounced" on three Samar military warships with pointed heads and oars, splitting the river water that rushed ahead, like three slippery and nimble eels in the tumbling white waves

Seeing that it was three Kraken warships of the Samar Navy! The merchant fleet along the way consciously moved out of the main river.

"Turn the rudder 6 degrees to the right! Slow down by three knots! Lower the triangular auxiliary sail on the second floor!" a merchant captain pulled the rudder violently with both hands, and the huge merchant ship swayed and turned to the edge, and the white waves on the river squeezed by the hull of the ship rolled

The "pop" wave swept from the dam, and a fierce impact hit the left chord of the ship's edge, making the merchant ship shake for a while.

"What's the matter! Didn't you say lower the spinnaker?" roared the captain at the rear of the ship, but the sailors in front of him looked at him dumbfounded.

"Boat, such a big ship!" a sailor looked horrified, pointing in the direction behind the captain.

"What's going on?" the captain of the merchant ship turned his head curiously, and his face turned pale with fright when he boarded,

I saw a huge triangular sharp bow, like a legendary giant kraken, coming out of the waves behind him,

The huge hull tore through the waves of the river, and rushed past the right side of the merchant ship,

The sheen of the metal of the thick baffles covering the sides shone in the sunlight, and it turned out to be a huge warship with iron armor attached to the surface.

The five huge four-cornered sails on the tall five-story mast were blown up by the wind, and the rapidity of more than thirty knots dwarfed the big-bellied merchant ships around them.

The mere squeezing of the waves made the merchant ship shake, and in the blink of an eye, it exceeded half of the hull

On this huge warship, an engineer from the Dyrrens family introduced to the fat man with a flying face, "Grand Duke, this is the Samar Navy Stereotype, Kraken!"

Its main design adopts the latest giant ship construction technology of Dylan at sea, with five four-corner mainsails, eighteen auxiliary spinnakers, and forty pieces of wood pulp specially requested by adults

Because of the characteristics of the waterways with rapid inland currents in the south, we designed the bottom of the boat as a triangular hull with a deep draft but a narrow front.

This allows the Kraken-class warship to break through the river rapids and move at high speed with the help of the wind

Of course, this is only a medium warship after all,

There is still a certain distance from the original Dylans Fury-class giant battleship that crisscrossed the sea, in terms of hull and carrying capacity.

However, if you remove the 10 Thor Curve 2 guns in the gun compartment and the various repair materials loaded,

The carrying capacity of the Kraken can even surpass the main troop carrier of the Dyrens sea, meeting the requirements of 450-500 soldiers stipulated by the Grand Duke,

It's just that it takes a lot of time to build, only 6 ships can be built a year, which is already the limit of our Dylan shipyard!

After saying this, Engineer Dylan rolled up the carefully drawn drawings in his hand,

This is Dylans' highest-end construction sketch, which contains decades of hard work and ambition for Dylans at sea.

"Yes, as long as it can be made, the rest will be easy to do" The fat man nodded with satisfaction and asked with great interest,

The wind from the river mixed with the water vapor hit his face, but this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the fat man,

"If I double the size of the shipyard and guarantee your financial and material needs,

How many ships can you reach?"

"I'm sorry Grand Duke, we can only express our regret for your request and generosity,

It's not just the scale that limits the speed of manufacturing, it's the skilled craftsmen!

We in Dirrens only have 5,000 skilled shipbuilders, and this is the result of our decades of training, if the adults really want to equip the Samore Navy with 30 Krakens in the short term,

"And there's only one way?" said Engineer Dylans, with a solemn expression

"Oh, what's the way?" said the fat man, curious

Engineer Dylan looked cautiously at the sides, until the fat man waved his hand to the guards back, and then he muttered in the fat man's ear with a stern face

"The Hulins, the former enemies of our Dyrens on the sea! the entire south, only they have the strength to build the Kraken,

If the Grand Duke can get the Hulin to provide the same number of craftsmen,

I believe that 2 years, only 2 years,

A tyrannical fleet of forty Samar Sirens is a nightmare for all enemies at sea!"

"Ask the Hulin clan for craftsmen! this is not easy to do!" the fat man frowned when he heard this, and did not continue to ask, but fell silent for a while,

Kraken!

The latest of the main warships of the Samore Navy,

Thinking that Samore was about to have a full-fledged naval capital ship, the fat man's heart felt a burst of irrepressible excitement,

But

Thin quantities are the dead knot of the Samar Navy!

Compared with the Hulin clan, a group of sea wolves that dispatch dozens of warships at every turn, compared with the main navy of other kingdoms, the Samore navy is still too young,

The relationship between the Hulin and the Samar is not bad.

However, it is almost impossible for the Hulin people, who have always been conservative to the outside world, to agree to this tiyì, which may threaten their maritime supremacy.

"Hey, let's think of another way to do this!" the fat man waved Engineer Dylan down, rubbing his temples in pain.

The fat man has been busy enough recently, with a hint of paleness on his slightly emaciated face, and his eyes are complicated to look at the end of the river.

The fat man specially ordered this time to transfer the only officially commissioned Kraken from the southern port and personally board the ship at the dock outside Crysdor.

All the way down the river to verify the combat performance of the Kraken driving on the inland river,

From the point of view of the adaptability to the inland waterway, in addition to the excessive volume, the rotation is not flexible, for the performance of this Kraken, the fat man is still relatively satisfied,

This was not originally designed for inland waterways

The Kraken's battlefield should be a vast sea!

The 35-meter-long and 10-meter-wide hull design allows the Kraken to be used both at sea and in inland waterways.

The state-of-the-art five-mast propulsion auxiliary sail design, and 40 oars extending from both sides, can still travel at high speed on inland rivers even when the wind speed is not large.

Covered with iron armor on the outside, the inner gun compartment is equipped with ten Thor curve cannons with powerful attack power,

has a good balance of attack and defense,,

It is completely possible to become a transport dual-purpose attack ship, but the number is too small,

Together with the three Krakens that were also being built at the Dyrence shipyard in the south, there were only 4 in total for the Samore Navy,

The fat man knows that such a number is only enough for general coastal patrol tasks at most,

Whether it wants to become a fleet in the vast sea area, or to achieve the ability to move more than 10,000 troops,

There's still quite a distance,

"Maybe it's too hasty!" the fat man sighed, retracting his gaze from the river in the distance, and a Samar military dock was already faintly seen in the distance.

"Woo!" the trumpet honked on the docks, and three Samarish warships responsible for clearing the way escorted the large Kraken into the harbor

The huge body of the kraken and the stone staircase docked at the dock made a squeezing sound, and the wide baffle fell from the side of the ship and smashed on the embankment along the river.

"Salute!"

"Slap" The Samar soldiers standing along the river stood up straight,

"Grand Duke!" Lidarchus, who was in charge of picking up the ship, came from the front with a hurried expression, and walked all the way to the exit of the ship's side.

Just waiting for the figure of the fat man to appear on the side of the ship,

"This is something that was sent urgently from the Duke's Mansion of Zhivadin" Lidakus hurriedly stepped forward and handed the thing in his hand to the fat man,

It was a silver crescent crest, with three crystal clear azure diamonds set on the edge of the crescent crest.

"The Silver Moon Three-Star Crest of the Court of Kujit?"

When the fat man saw the thing in Lidarchus's hand, his originally excited expression suddenly dimmed a little, and after a while, he condensed his voice

"I expected them to send someone more, but I didn't expect it to come so soon, it seems that the situation in Tulga is not optimistic!

"It is said that this time it is a member of the Kugit royal family, well. Lidarchus hesitated for a moment, staring at the fat man with strange eyes.......

"It's a woman, a very beautiful woman! It was personally accompanied by Miss Mao Mo Naqing of the Mao Mo family!"

"Mao Mona Qing?" When the fat man heard this name, his face was obviously stunned for a moment, and a beautiful and delicate woman flashed in his mind.

It seems that he is specifically disgusted with the three conditions of the Mao Mo family.

Thinking of the old fox's deflated demeanor, a strange smile appeared at the corner of the fat man's mouth,

The Maomo family still relented, and he also calculated a bad breath, without the Maomo family as a hindrance, the problem in the west would not be a problem!

"Hehe! It seems that the old fox of Mao Mo is nothing more than that" The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, wanting to continue to tease,

However, Lidarchus's next words made the fat man's smile freeze and turn into a strange embarrassment on his face,

"My lord, this time Mao Mo Naqing personally brought 1.5 million compensation from the Mao Mo family!"

"What!" said this, which made the fat man feel depressed and had an urge to flatten himself! He glared at Lidarchus angrily, and realized that this fellow was looking at him with a sneer,

No matter how you look at it, it's ridicule greater than flattery,

"Next time I talk like this, I'll make you two cuts!" The fat man could only cover up his gaffe with an indignant scolding,

I can't help but feel a little admiration for Mao Moddyne's old and spicy methods, and he is worthy of being an old and refined character.

Even someone brought money to send Rivadine, which showed the sincerity of the Maomo family, and also forced the fat man to an unavoidable choice.

The fat man's embarrassing discovery,

No matter which one you choose, the Momo family is the winner!

What a headache! The fat man's mouth was faintly bitter

Then Samar will inevitably send troops to help the Maumo family stabilize the west.

The selection of people, the marriage relationship between the Maomo family and Samoor, will inevitably make the position of the Maomo family more stable.

Mao Monaqing, who has the dual identity of the Western Alliance and the co-leader of the Snow Mountain Clan, will inevitably become an indispensable member of the core structure of Wiki's new power.

The old man, who had been lurking in the west, seemed to be looking at himself with his bright and cunning eyes,

The fat man felt that this intractable situation had already been laid out when he decided to enter the west.

"Old fox! Don't play cards according to the rules, but the beauty plan adds sugar-coated cannonballs all over" The fat man scolded in annoyance, "Be careful I ate the beauty and sugar-coating, and send you back the cannonballs!" (!)
