[Second Holy Alliance, December 15, 478, 2:38 p.m., Sacred Tree Country, East of the Green Sea]

After the first strategic meeting of Operation Ray Island, General Howell explained the precautions with Colonel MacArthur and Lockhardt, and then went to the dining room alone for lunch, and then returned to his room to rest.

Colonel MacArthur and Lockhalt had lunch with the two juniors, Yakura and Zhizhang, and no one mentioned the army of the undead they had encountered last night. Before the Maple Leaf Harbor assembly, General Howell ordered in Sheep City that no one should leak the slightest rumor.

According to General Howell's inference, the Snow Fleet should have also encountered an army of the undead before reaching Port One. However, no one mentioned it. So, both Mark Arthur and Lockhart deduce that Snowpiercer, like them, is hiding the fact that the army of the undead is being hidden.

As for why this secret was hidden, no one knows. At least one thing can be known: the four divisions of the beast country and the ice knights of the snow country have intervened in the investigation.

While everyone was silent in the scene that happened last night, Yakura and Shizhang played a two-person scene, and the atmosphere was very lively for a while. Most of the fleets on the Beast Country's Fire Department are Dragons, and Dragons have always discriminated against Beasts. They consider the tall, rough beasts to be a barbaric people, who do not understand etiquette, and always like to shout in public, even when they encounter difficulties, they will only use duels to solve problems.

Among the Seven Sacred Kingdoms: Dragon Country, Tree Country, Ning Country, Snow Country, Sand Country, Beast Country, and Fog Country, the Dragon Country and Tree Country are the highest; followed by Ning Country and Snow Country, Ning Country people are called 'Wealth Fans', and Snow Country people are called 'Glacier People'; the lowest status is Sand Country, Beast Country and Fog Country, Sand Country is called 'people hiding in the sand' by people from other countries, Beast Country is 'tall barbarians', and Fog Country is 'people who can't see the light'.

Therefore, the attitude of the dragon soldiers on the ship on which the fire ministry was on was not enthusiastic about them. Mark Arthur and Lockhalt could clearly feel the discriminatory gaze of the Dragons. But fortunately, they are the elite of the four fire divisions, and each of them is very strong, even if they gather all the spiritual magicians on this diamond-class battleship, they will not be the opponent of their fire department's hundred-person squad. Therefore, the people of the Dragon Kingdom just sat and stared at them from a distance, and then complained a few words.

Mark Arthur, Lockhardt, Zhizhang and Yakura don't care about this, the reputation of the beast people in the alliance has been bad in recent years, strictly speaking, the status is only higher than that of the fog people.

In the face of other people's cold eyes, they are also used to it.

"In two hours, the fleet will leave the green sea and enter the open sea. If all goes well, we should be able to reach Longhai tomorrow morning. Lockhart said, dressed in a dark red military uniform, and his long bright red hair looked particularly bewitching in the sunlight.

"Long Hai, do we have a chance to meet the Dragon Fleet?" asked Yakura in surprise.

"It's possible, but it's not likely. MarkArthur picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth, "The vast sea is like the endless night sky, and the fleet is like the sand in the night sky, so the chance of two fleets passing by in the sea is as small as the collision of two sand grains in the night sky." ”

"It's a pity, the Dragon Sea Route is the most lively route of the Holy Alliance. Yakura muttered.

Zhizhang spoke: "That's because there is a lot of trade on the Longhai route, so it is called the most lively route. The Ninth Fleet of the Dragon Country, which escorts the Dragon Sea Route, is not the strongest one, and the strongest fleet is the Sixth Fleet of the Dragon Country. ”

"The Sixth Fleet?"

Lockhalt said: "Yes, the Sixth Fleet of the Dragon Country is the strongest fleet in the Alliance, its scale far exceeds any of the other eight fleets, and the number of armed forces and soldiers of the Sixth Fleet has even caught up with the combined number of the Snow Country Fleet, that is to say, the naval strength of the Snow Country is only barely comparable to a fleet of the Dragon Country." ”

"Wow Ka Ka, the Dragon Country is so powerful, even a big ocean country like the Snow Country can't be compared. Yakura said with wide eyes.

Mark Arthur said: "Due to the small coastline of our beast country, the importance of the navy is much lower than that of ordinary warriors, in terms of maritime security, the beast country, the sand country, and the fog country have reached an offensive and defensive alliance, so our sea power mainly relies on the support of the fog country and the sand country." ”

Lockhart said: "The danger to the security of the beast kingdom often does not come from the sea, but from the surroundings. Of course, this does not refer to the country of sand, the country of Ning, and the country of fog. It is the demon clan that retreated to the border area as early as the beginning of the establishment of the Second Holy Alliance, although in the past five hundred years, the demon clan has not reappeared in the eyes of the alliance, but the war will always come one day-"

"So we have to be ready. Zhizhang said: "According to the records of the Alliance, the Flower Demon of the Ten Thousand Flower Tide, the Beast Demon of the Holy Beast Mountain, the Mist Demon of the Red Lotus Swamp, the Snow Demon of the Permafrost Tundra, the Sand Demon of the Endless Sand Sea, and the Dryad of the Misty Forest. More than five hundred years ago, the Demon Alliance led by the Wanhua Chaohua Demon did not disband, if one day they made a comeback. The beast country will become the most important battlefield, once the beast demon turns over the holy beast mountain range, the open plain will lead to the national capital, once the beast country is lost, the situation will be troublesome. ”

"I see. Yakura grew her mouth and was very surprised by what the three seniors said, although she was also a fire warrior, she had never cared about these issues, and for her, it was her life to complete her mission and live happily. She never imagined that the world would be so complicated. 、

Mark Arthur, Chizhang, and Lockhart also talked about a lot of things, most of which was new to Yakura, so she listened carefully with a humble attitude.

She never thought of becoming a big person, whether it was the inheritor Hongtu or the representative of the Beast Cabinet Tai Sabei, she just wanted to have an ordinary life. As for why she joined the fourth part, it can only be said that there is a voice calling for her, and it seems that she can find her home here.

Looking at Mark Arthur, Zhizhang and Lockhardt, Yakura gradually understood that what he was looking for was not for recognition, nor for fame and fortune, but just to find a home, a place where everyone would laugh.

The name of the ship is 'Azure', and it is the same color as the sea and the sky. The style of the restaurant is simple and simple, with chandeliers, tables and chairs, sofas, and semi-open front desks all containing the style of traditional Shuguo architecture.

Until the fleet arrives at the port of Carmero in the city of Dumille, the army will not have too many orders. So, after having lunch, MacArthur, Zhizhang, Lockhardt, and Yakura went to the chess and card room on the Azure, where everyone spent a relaxing afternoon.

——

Clear skies couldn't have been better for a moving fleet, smooth sailing, with each ship's Flare engines turned on at maximum power. Under the sun, the blue sea is sparkling, and seabirds fly over the water, occasionally falling to catch fish in the water. Clouds flew across the sky, the breeze blew, and the sea was dotted with ripples.

The largest army in a century rode the wind and waves, drawing breathtaking ripples and moving into the distance step by step.

Soldiers learn how to operate the psychic cannon in order, a psychic weapon formed by a special immobilized array of veins that is the vitality of the fleet's active lethality. According to the size, the Psionic Cannons are divided into: Advanced Psychic Cannons, Intermediate Psychic Cannons, and Primary Psychic Cannons.

The high-grade psychic cannon is the league's highest-scale standardized large-scale psychic strike weapon at sea. With a diameter of 600 mm and an effective range of 12,000 meters, it requires more than ten magicians who have opened the four veins to activate the harmonic pulse array.

Intermediate Psychic Cannon, second only to High-Level Psychic Cannon. With a diameter of 300 mm and an effective range of 7,000 meters, it requires four psychics who have opened the four veins to activate the harmonic array.

The primary psychic cannon, with a diameter of 150 mm and an effective range of 3,000 meters, can be activated by a psychic who has opened more than four veins.

It is not difficult to open the spirit cannon, and the principle of the spirit harmonic pulse array is the same, as long as the spirit pulse resonance is realized, the effect of strengthening can be achieved. The spirit cannon uses its own fixed spirit array as the eye of the harmonic pulse array, and amplifies the power of the harmonic array dozens of times through the inherent spiritual amplification method.

The vibration frequency of the pulse gate increases from low to high, and the lowest frequency that can produce the resonance of the harmonic pulse array is higher than the vibration frequency of the third pulse gate, which means that only by opening the fourth pulse gate can the harmonic pulse array be launched with other psychics, and only by opening the harmonic pulse array can the spirit cannon be launched.

The more veins a person has, the stronger his spiritual power, and the stronger the spiritual impact released through the spiritual cannon. In recent years, the number of Spiritual Magicians has been decreasing, and it is difficult for most people to open the Fifth Pulse Gate, and the regular combat power equipment in the army is the Fourth Pulse Gate.

In a way, the Spiritual Cannon makes up for the lack of combat power caused by the insufficient number of Pulse Gates, and with the help of this weapon, the Harmonic Pulse Array Spiritual Impact released by ten Four-Pulse Gate Spiritual Magicians can compete with the Eight-Pulse Gate or even the Nine-Pulse Gate Spiritual Magicians. If these weapons were used by the spiritual magicians of the Eight Pulse Gate and the Nine Pulse Gates, the power would be even greater, and it would be difficult for even the seven inheritors to face the bombardment of such a powerful force alone.

Of the 415 warships that went to Thunder Island this time, 100 Glory-class main ships (main firepower coverage), 200 Starlight-class battleships (close-range offensive operations), 100 Gold-class battleships (as a supplement), and 15 silver-class battleships (for vanguard exploration).

The Glory-class battleship is the largest, equipped with a twin Fengyao No. 10 spiritual engine, ten high-level spiritual cannons, and one hundred intermediate spiritual cannons, with a displacement of 30,000 tons and a carrying capacity of 1,200 people.

The Xingyao-class battleship is the second largest, equipped with the Fengyao 10 spirit engine, two high-level spirit cannons, and forty intermediate spirit cannons, with a displacement of 10,000 tons and a capacity of 500 people.

The Diamond-class battleship and the Star-Class battleship are both the second in scale, equipped with a twin Shenlei No. 8 engine, a high-level spiritual cannon, and a fifty-level intermediate spiritual cannon, with a displacement of 9,000 tons and a capacity of 550 people.

Due to the similar scale of the role of the Star Shine Class and the Diamond Class, no Diamond-class battleships were used in this operation, and the Snow Country side was to transform the Diamond-class battleships according to the Star-Shine class ships.

Another important reason is the engine revolution, in terms of power energy, the alliance had a heated discussion a few years ago, in which the psychic expert group provided two directions: one is the Fengyao series engine developed by the Dragon Kingdom, and the other is the Shen Thunder series engine produced by Ning Guo combined with spiritual magic.

While the Thunderbolt series engines are significantly superior to the Shine series engines in many ways, engine production relies on magic. The alliance was worried that the Sinking Thunder Engine would make itself subject to Ningguo's constraints, so the experts of the other six countries unanimously agreed to abandon the development and practical use of the Sinking Thunder Engine, which led to the demise of the Diamond-class battleship.

This process is known as the "Engine Revolution" by the Alliance. Although the Shen Lei No. 8 engine was resisted, Ning Guo was still researching and exploring the combination of magic and spiritual power, trying to improve and improve the multi-faceted indicators of the Shen Lei series engine. Two years ago, Ning Guo secretly launched the latest engine of the Shen Lei series: Shen Lei No. 10, according to the grapevine, the power of Shen Lei No. 10 will be more than 7 times that of the Fengyao No. 10 engine.

However, many people doubted this news, because the people of Ning Guo did not use Shenlei 10. Over time, the alliance also forgot about it-

In addition to the Glory-class, Star-class, and Diamond-class ships, the Gold and Silver ships are also crucial.

The Gold-class battleship is the third in scale, equipped with the Shenlei No. 8 engine, 30 medium-level spiritual cannons, a displacement of 4,000 tons, and a crew of 280 people.

The silver-class battleship was the smallest, equipped with the Fengyao 9 engine, ten intermediate psychic cannons, and fifty touch psychic cannons, with a displacement equivalent of 1,800 tons.

With such a large fleet sailing towards Thunder Island, what if [Thunder Island] awakened? There is nothing in the world that can withstand the bombardment of tens of thousands of psychic cannons. This is also why when the Dragon Fleet sailed into Maple Leaf Harbor, the soldiers of the Tree Country were very vigilant, if the Dragon Fleet chose to open the cannon at that time, even if the Maple Leaf Harbor opened the defensive spirit array, it would be difficult to resist the artillery fire at close range. It can be said that it only takes a quarter of an hour for Maple Leaf Harbor to be wiped out.

The same is true for Ray Island.

Many soldiers are optimistic, all they need to do is to stand on the deck and open the Harmonic Array, they don't need to take the lead in the charge, they only need to turn on the spirit cannon and aim at Thunder Island to complete the mission.

But a small number of people don't think so, a hundred years ago in the Battle of Thunder Island, the alliance sent a seven-nation alliance fleet of one million people to fight against [Thunder Ya], but the result was still annihilation?

So if it was really the [Thunder Fang] awakening this time, the 250,000 soldiers would just repeat the mistakes of the past.
