"It's beautiful! I really want to go out with these warships right away! This time I won't take a long detour, I won't hide from Delman's naval warships, Isabella will just kill them all the way!" Isabella said in a bold and loud voice, "I must be able to do a lot faster than before." ”

"And you'll ship more than you've done before. The port officer pointed to the huge cargo ship that had just blocked their view and said, "After two days of waiting, two more such cargo ships have been launched." His Majesty's order is that all of them should be used for long voyages!"

"Still going south with gold?" Isabella, who was already a little impatient, turned around, looked at the port officer and asked, "I think we can go this time and grab it directly." ”

"No, this time we only bring part of the gold, and the rest of the cabin, we have to bring all kinds of products, in short, what sells, we will go to the elven kingdom with a full load. The officer smiled and replied, "Then, we'll only buy what we need and bring it back." ”

"If they dare to sit on the ground again. Looking at the open gun windows on the new warships, and the dark gun muzzles sticking out of the gun windows, Isabella showed an expectant expression.

"Then we'll save money, won't we?" said Isabella, and the port officer smiled.

Although the sea route was a very important route for transporting strategic resources, King Gravel could only let his navy sail in wind-powered sailing battles. It's not that his skills aren't up to the level of building steel battleships, it's that he really doesn't have that many resources to work with.

Steel has now gone from being a not a scarce resource to a strategic scarce resource that needs to be tightly controlled. Not to mention building a warship that costs countless amounts of steel for the navy, even equipping the navy with those thirty large magic crystal cannons is a difficult task.

And how powerful these battleships are after being equipped with magic crystal cannons needs to be tested in actual combat. The current Kingdom of Norsland has not yet had the heart to test the strength of the navy, and they are frantically expanding their ground forces.

Actual combat is the best means to test the troops, and after the test of war, the top of the Kingdom of Norsland has realized that it is vulnerable to the attack of the artillery of the Delman Empire alone.

Therefore, increasing the proportion of heavy weapons in the army has become the top priority of the reform of the Norsland army.

Under this order, all the craftsmen in the entire Northland were working at full capacity, pushing one magic crystal cannon after another out of the production workshop.

"If these can't conquer the Delman Empire, then let's see how far the damned guys of the Delman Empire want to expand this war. King Gravel said thoughtfully, pulling the reins of his horse.

At this moment, in the wilderness of the territory of Northland, a steel beast let out a long roar. The airship carried two full ships of supplies, as well as sea salt and other industrial products from Byron Bay, and flew over the wilderness, causing the civilians below to stop their work and look at the scene with curiosity.

"It's called an airship, and it's scary. A farmer waved a hoe in his hand and showed off his knowledge to his fellow villagers.

In fact, he didn't know exactly why the airship was moving, or how much cargo was in it. However, in terms of volume, this thing called an airship is already a very shocking new thing.

It only takes half a day for this airship to travel from Byron Bay to Golgalon.

"It's so big, and it's so loud, it's going to be a lot of luck. Hearing the farmers around him showing off, the ordinary farmer who worked nodded and exclaimed.

"Well, I heard that with this thing, it will only take us a day to go to Golgaron!" said the peasant who was the first to show off and continue to work without raising his head.

"This year's harvest is much better than last year's...... I heard that the price of food has risen again?" the farmers, who no longer cared about the airship, talked about the issues they were more concerned about. Anyway, for them, no matter how fast and powerful the airship is, it is not as exciting as the increase in food prices.

Grain is the foundation of a country, and now the trade with the Kingdom of Kurut is still going on, but without the previous profits, the relationship between the two countries has become a little strained.

King Gravel realized that the other side was not protecting the Delman Empire by taking the initiative to negotiate peace—and the war would not end without fixing the borders between the two countries.

With the combat power of the Kingdom of Enosland, as long as you prepare for it, wait for a winter, and next year it will be possible to annex the entire Delman Empire in one go. However, if the two sides draw a border, then the war starts again, and the Kingdom of Norsland will have to find another reason to go to war.

Although the Kingdom of Norsland did not find any excuse for starting a war this time, but repeatedly launched wars for no reason, King Gravel still felt that his face was a little uncomfortable.

King Gravel still had his own consciousness. He knows what he's good at and what he's not good at.

"I don't know if Isabella has any decent gains on her side, allies are really a very important strategic resource for us. Gravel asked himself with some concern.

This time to the south, Isabella took the same route she had taken. And unlike the last time, this time they brought new ships!

King Gravel was confident of this. Three new sailing warships, three transports...... I don't think Isabella can be a threat with those rotten ships of the Delman Empire.

But then he gave an order to the officer in charge of this: "In any case, continue to build more transport ships! Even if it is a sailing ship! We need resources so much that we must purchase them in large quantities, even if we can't use them up, it's good!"

"The shipyards in Byron Bay are already working hard to build boats. The official replied helplessly: "But we don't have enough sailors, and we don't have so many idle cannons left for the navy." ”。

"There is no need for a fully equipped warship, a battleship is only equipped with 4 guns! Just two in the front and two in the front and rear! The rest of the space is used for transportation! When you enter the war, you can count it as half a battleship, and you usually run for transportation!" King Gravel directly came up with the concept of armed merchant ships.

King Gravel's idea made everyone's eyes shine, and there was indeed no way to do it.
