"I'm willing to take on this task. ”

As the captain of the Blackstone Navy, leading the ironclad fleet and becoming the savior of Arabe City can certainly achieve a great sense of accomplishment. But on a strategic level, Qin Song's idea has good reason.

Everything was given by Qin Song, and Harald nodded without hesitation, willing to take on the difficult task of attacking the sea monster palace.

The three members of the advisory group all know that they can only provide reference opinions and have no right to speak.

Alice hesitated for a moment, and pointed to the five ship models on the chart: "Qin, among the five ships, there is also a transport ship without naval guns. If there are two ways to divide the soldiers, I fear that both things will take huge risks. ”

"I mean that the army is divided into two ways, not that the fleet should be separated. Qin Song smiled: "Who said we only have five ships?"

Elena on the side suddenly spoke, "Ghost ship." We also have a purified ghost ship. ”

Harald was shocked.

That's right!

His fate was changed by the ghost ship, and he forgot about it.

Maybe he had been living ashore for too long, and all his attention was on the ironclad.

However, he knew in his heart that the ghost ship, which had no sails and no manpower to maneuver, and could sail freely under the sea, had an incomparable advantage over ironclad ships.

"Commander, are you trying to use the ghost ship?" Harald's interest was raised, "This is indeed something I didn't consider, what is your plan?" I'm happy to carry it out. ”

"No, you don't need someone to do it. The captain you know best, he's not retired yet. ”

As he spoke, a familiar figure fell from the porthole—a white crest, a white-feathered tongue Mons, the captain of the ghost ship.

During the development of the Black Stone Collar, the ghost ship did not have much effect. Captain Mons has temporarily become a scout, and has been living in the Sage's Canyon, monitoring the movements of the orcs.

It can be said that the early warning of several orc wars is the clever tongue of Mons.

It is an unobtrusive behind-the-scenes hero.

Seeing a white-feathered parrot appear, the three members of the advisory group were all full of curiosity. Harald's father-in-law, in particular, Edmund, had long heard of the parrot's name.

Magician Seren is not so new, as there is no shortage of magic in the field of magic that manipulates animals. In his mind, Mons was a pet domesticated by magic.

"Commander, the clever tongue Mons is at your service. ”

Mons said in his own unique tone.

"I'm sure everyone is impressed by the characteristics of the sea monster. I would like to say one thing, and that is the blood plague. The sea monster will attack humans and transform them into its own kind, which is its toughest point. Although we have special crystals that can lift the curse. But don't forget, it can't bring the dead back to life. ”

"So, we need to build on our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. And ghost ships can do just that. ”

Qin Song patiently explained that the decision to divide the soldiers into two ways was the result of his careful consideration. But the difficulty is the same as Alice and Harald's fears, the lack of troops.

It's a sea monster's lair, and even if Harald had the courage to die, it's a hellish mode of death.

I can't afford to lose at all.

Therefore, Qin Song chose to find another way.

Isn't unmanned ships fragrant?

Isn't the ghost ship a variant of an unmanned ship?

Even if the sea monsters boarded the ghost ship, there would not be a single living thing, and with their intelligence, they would probably not be able to figure out what was going on.

"Ghost ships do do have no casualties. But...... I can't figure it out, how can it attack without a crew?" Harald was still confused, glanced at Mons, and thought to himself: Could it be that the captain has any special skills that he can't do?

"That's the second piece of the puzzle. Qin Song nodded: "Attack the problem." And that's the key to what we're going to talk about today. ”

Regarding the rescue of the city of Arabe, in fact, many meetings were held to discuss the battle plan, and the division of troops into two ways was not the first to be raised, and the problem was the lack of troops. Since Hadilis became the heir to the Temple of the Seekers, the city of Arabbe was in danger and had to go on an expedition with a low number of ships.

Originally, Alice and other witches would not go on the expedition with the ship.

After a change in personnel, a bold idea took shape.

Ghost ship unmanned combat plan.

"We're going to allocate some of the supplies to the program. Qin Song finally said his true idea: "Create a special weapon for attack." ”

Then he looked at Alice, "Do you remember our Beetle One?"

"The model?"

When developing the infantry chariot, there were four experimental models of the beetle, one, two, three, four. Small size, simple construction, just for verification.

"Yes, do you remember Luna's joke at the time?" Qin Song asked with a smile.

"I remember!" Alice's eyes lit up, and when Luna fiddled with Beetle One, she had a cute idea, which was to put a mine into Beetle One, crash into the enemy, and boom, and bloom in full bloom.

Originally, it was just a small joke, but if you think about it carefully, isn't this the original version of unmanned attack?

"A specific enemy, with a specific tactic, with a specific weapon. Why don't we develop a weapon that can sail through the sea and doesn't need to be manipulated by a human being, or it's called Swordfish One, which loads ammunition, sets course, and can automatically rush into enemy groups and cause explosions. ”

The most effective against orcs is mines, and the most effective against the Holy Spirit is machine guns. And what about fighting sea monsters?

In the sea where the palace floats in the sea, there are follicle-like things floating everywhere, layered and dense, and the sea monster hatchlings are bred inside. Once the larvae mature and the follicles rupture, they dive into the ocean and become the main force attacking land.

Qin Song has the thinking of modern people, which has always been different from others.

The first weapons that came to his mind were torpedoes and mines. However, he did not know much about the principle of torpedoes, and mines were similar to mines, but they were too limited and suitable for defense, not offense.

If you can't make a torpedo, then make a model of a ship full of blasting powder and fragments, equipped with a simple power system and orientation system, with the current technology, there is no problem at all.

"I think it's doable!" Alice nodded heavily, she was already a master of powertrain and build models: "The timing device, you can use clockwork mode." ”

"I see!" Harald said, "That's a brilliant idea. ”

Well, about the conversation of the three of them. The advisory panel said that they were confused.

What the hell are you talking about?

Mr. Mason could only marvel at how much of Blackstone's whimsy he had.

Magician Selen's eyes were full of adoration.

That's right, it's worship.

As a seeker of knowledge, he couldn't understand any of the terms spoken by the other party.

It creates a feeling of uncertainty.

The wise man in their mouth is indeed mysterious.

The knowledge they mention is incredibly desirable.

"Okay, now that it's agreed. So in order to achieve this goal, during the next voyage, our focus is to develop new weapons, and modify the ghost ship, to become our surprise attack on the sea monster palace!"

At the speed of the Blackstone fleet, it would take about four days or so to reach the sea around Arabe City. During these four days, time is precious.

......

Reduced Lodir, the Crucible of Souls.

Tucked away in the ruins of a town destroyed by Candusleta, it is once bustling and bustling like many Star Seeker cities, now devastated by ruins, desolation, and pervasive contamination by evil energy.

The Soul Forge is located deep underground in the ruins of the city.

Thirteen broken statues symbolizing the Prophet hide a device that opens the entrance. Only those who control the secret of the stars are eligible to enter.

The rune messenger walked through the ruins, standing silently in front of a statue with a severed waist, and the pedestal of the statue was engraved with the name of the prophet, Sraddir.

The Runebringer fell to one knee and paid homage to the prophet.

The hatch opened, and Hadilys, holding the Secret of the Stars, came to the statue. This is the last trigger, and the entrance to the Soul Forge is right in front of you.

When the ruins beneath the statue are cleared, a notched star ring appears.

The Secret of the Stars is placed in the groove, the light flickers, and the ring activates.

The moment the star map returned to its position, thirteen dazzling pillars of pure white light rose from the ruins, drawing a graceful arc, converging into one point and bursting into a brilliant starlight cluster.

The Secret Gate of the Stars.

A portal to the Soul Forge Portal.
