Recently, there has been a strange legend circulating in almost all the ports of the Jesno Empire and the Parak Empire. About a kind of ghost ship whose name is unknown.

"I heard that the ship had no mast at all, it burned the souls of men, and I heard the wailing of the ghost on the ship." A sailor swore by it.

Before he could finish speaking, another voice rang out: "Forget it, you are bragging, my Romai is the fastest ship in the vicinity, we were traveling at full speed with the wind that day, and we had already driven at 18 knots, but the ghost ship caught up with us from not far away, and the ship was spewing black smoke, like witchcraft, but they had at least 25 knots, I'm sure of that." ”

"You're not kidding, v.25? That ship is at least 28 knots! I promise you my head! Apparently there was an objection to this point of view, and he said.

"That day we saw a boat with no sails on the south side of the sea, which sank to the bottom of the sea, and we were trying to rescue it, and it floated up on its own." A bearded man is blowing more and more mysterious.

In the corner, a sailor put down his glass and said loudly, "You are not right, it is a devil's messenger ship, they are responsible for carrying letters from the dead to hell, and I saw their captain that day, a one-legged zombie. ”

More and more anecdote spread among these sailors, as more and more of Iran Hill's warships began to move in the southern seas. In order to train his navy, Lawrence is letting these warships go in groups of three or five to train their ocean-going combat capabilities.

The most common mission of these warships is to pursue some sailing ships of the Southern Mortal Empire at high speed, and then follow behind these sailing ships, maintaining a safe distance from artillery bombardment, and quickly simulating a pursuit battle.

Occasionally, these ships would be ordered to speed up and overtake the ships in front of them to take the T-shaped position.

What made the few mortal Empire sailors in the south nervous was that these warships, which were so fast that they were shocked, did not use sails. These battleships emitted billowing black smoke, and the sharp bow cut through the waves, looking majestic.

No one dared to provoke these battleships, because they had black golden eagle flags on their masts. This banner represents the mighty mortal empire of Ellan Hill, a terrifying nation that can stand up to the magic empires.

The Jesno Empire and the Parak Empire are both mortal empires that still need to pay heavy taxes to the Norma Empire, so they look up to Iran Hill. They opened their markets to Iran Hill and allowed Iran Hill to do whatever they wanted on their land, as a way to guarantee their national security.

This time, on a southbound battleship, Admiral Lawns, the commander-in-chief of the navy, was leaning against the railing of the side of the battleship, looking boredly at the sea in the distance.

The battleship he was on was the flagship battleship of the Iran Hill Navy, the battleship "Dreadnought", a super battleship with 10 heavy guns, which can be said to be a supergiant battleship on the sea.

Even if this kind of battleship does not use its own guns to bully the weak, the heavy armor can make the battleship of Irlanhill easily ram and sink the enemy ships in front of it, after all, the navy of the Jesno Empire and the Parack Empire is only made of wood.

In fact, the world is also making crazy progress because of the progress of the Elanhill Empire, and the Dosen Empire previously defeated the Arrant Empire by the power of the Holy Demon Empire in the Abyss River, so that the artillery technology sold by Irlanhill to the Arrant Empire began to spread.

The so-called red-coated cannon technology has long spread to the south of the Dosen Empire, and even entered the hungry Jesno Empire and the Parak Empire.

With the expansion of Iran Hill, ordinary civilian-grade machinery and equipment have become ordinary and cheap goods. With the technical support of these equipment, whether it is a mortal empire or a magic empire, smelting and casting and other technologies are making rapid progress.

Naturally, these technologies are applied to the production of artillery, and today's front-loading redcoat cannons are actually not the original stupid version of technology.

However, in the face of the Iran Hill troops, which are already equipped with new artillery, these technologies are still backward and even ridiculous.

For example, the navies of the Palak Empire and the Gersno Empire are now generally equipped with redcoat guns, and the large-caliber and heavy-weight ones are deployed on coastal batteries, and the small-caliber ones are used on naval sailing ships.

They had seen the armed transport galleons that Iran Hill had often traveled south before, so they had also imitated the design of the gunwales, and the kind of warships with dozens of cannons on the side had also begun to appear in the navies of the Jesno Empire and the Palak Empire.

But you don't have to think about it to know what level these ships are in front of the real battleships of Ellan Hill, which have abandoned their sails, adopted an all-metal hull, and are equipped with rotating turrets.

Because both the Norma Empire and the Holy Demon Empire have imported Iran Hill's weapons and equipment, many countries have begun to copy these weapons: after all, whether it is the Norma Empire or the Holy Demon Empire, there are all kinds of Iran Hill's weapon production equipment bought at a high price.

The Mauser 98K rifle has completely proliferated and is equipped with a large number of front-line troops. Whether it is the Jesno Empire or the Parak Empire, there are troops using this weapon.

At the same time, the technology of 130 mm caliber artillery was also proliferating, and Alan Hill sold the drawings and production equipment to the Norma Empire, and the Norma Empire began to frantically begin to export these weapons and supporting shells to the Gersno Empire and the Palak Empire.

In order to restrain the rise of the Mortal Empire like Iran Hill and no longer obey the discipline of the Magic Empire, the Norma Empire only sells cannons and cannonballs to the Jesno Empire and the Parak Empire, but does not directly sell production technology, hoping to restrain the Jesno Empire and the Parak Empire.

Lovely Lanhill is not idle, Chris is also exporting 130 caliber cannonballs to the Jesno Empire and the Parak Empire, as a way to support the Mortal Empire against the Magic Empire - now Iran Hill has become the leader of the Mortal Empire, and is supporting many of the Mortal Empire's anti-magic empire movements.

As a result, with the dual support of Iran Hill and the Norma Empire, the Jesno Empire and the Parak Empire, and even the Holy Demon Empire and the Norma Empire itself, are all modernizing their weapons and equipment.

However, there are still a large number of problems that plague these countries equipped with new weapons, because their industrialization is not perfect, so they cannot fully meet the weapons and ammunition needs of their armies.

On the surface, it seems that the level of weapons and equipment of the two sides is narrowing, but in fact the gap between the two sides is widening, and it is widening exponentially.

"This time we went south, mainly to show off our strength and force these mortal empires to sell the mines in the south to us as soon as possible." A man walked behind Lawrence and spoke as he went.

His head shape is characteristic, a bald man that sparkles in the sun. And he also has a big beard, which looks very funny.

It's just that since the fall of the Arrant Empire, or since the real rise of Iran Hill, few people have dared to laugh at his strange makeup.

Sterred looked at the slightly rough sea, also leaned against the railing, and said to Lawrence who was silent.

"I'm lonely, Minister Tryed...... My wish was to make a good life for the people of Ferry City. Lawrence continued to look at the sea without looking back, and spoke.

Without waiting for Stryed to reply, he continued to speak to himself: "Your Majesty has fulfilled my wish and helped me fulfill this wish. The current ferry city is simply a paradise on earth. ”

"People are greedy, so after I got my wish, I found a new goal for myself...... Become the overlord of the sea and be invincible in the world. Lawrence pointed to his nose self-deprecatingly: "But, look at it now, my wish has come true again......"

As far as he could see, another battleship was following behind the battleship Intrepid in black smoke. It was another battleship of Irlanhill, the Spirit, and the cruiser Albatross was followed by the Spirit, and then there were many more battleships, forming a huge fleet.

When the fleet headed south, even Ran Hill's own fishermen at sea were shocked. It had been a long time since they had seen their country's fleet fully deployed, after all, one dreadnought was deployed at the ferry, and the other was deployed in the large southern port of Osa.

Where have the fishermen of Osa seen such a powerful navy? More than a dozen warships headed south, where they joined the battleship Courage, and a dozen other warships, which merged to form the Iran Hill fleet and escorted the legations south.

"You've only fulfilled two wishes, not much!" Breed laughed, touched his beard, and said, "When I first went to the Arrant Empire, it was difficult to meet the prime minister named Clark. ”

"Then I stood before him, but he did not dare to disobey any of my demands...... Ellen Hill has given us so much, and perhaps the most precious thing is the courage to support our dignity. He said with emotion.

Everyone has dignity, even a poor commoner, he has his own dignity - but because he is poor, because he has no strength, many times people do not have the courage to insist on such dignity.

In the past, when facing the Magic Empire, the Mortal Empire did not have the courage to maintain their dignity, they did not really have dignity, but they just did not have the strength to support their courage.

Iran Hill gave the mortal power, so the mortal remembered the dignity that he had forgotten in the corner. Now the people of Irlanhill can already build their own railroad on the land of the Holy Demon Empire, and the current Alleylander has begun to transform into a superpower from the inside out.

Supporting this confidence is the million-strong army and thousands of tanks that cross the borders of the Holy Demon Empire; It is the thousands of advanced fighter jets whizzing through the sky; It's the 20,000-ton battleship at Stred's feet; It was the loud noise in the grassland, and the mushroom-shaped clouds that rose after the loud noise.

"I just have to look at this fleet that sent me, and I have nothing to fear! Because I know that my homeland is so strong, I dare to ask for any conditions from the Jesno Empire and the Palak Empire! "Because no matter what, they're going to give it in the end!" ”

"Yes, it always has to be given, if you can't get it, I'll call them and beg for it!" With a big smile on his face, Lawrence involuntarily looked back at the bulky-looking barrels on the deck.

With the battleship's 305 mm caliber heavy guns, Lawrence was sure to destroy any coastal targets. Unless these southern mortal empires don't even want their own coastline, there is no way they can refuse Ellan Hill's demands.

This is a 305 mm heavy gun! Huge caliber unique to the Navy! You must know that the largest caliber artillery that the army is now equipped with is only a 283 mm caliber railway gun, which is 22 mm less than the navy!

Any target hit by this artillery, even a thick and hard wall, will collapse in an instant - although several southern empires have reinforced their walls with cement due to the popularity of cement, and the fortifications that may defend against this kind of cannonball attack are still only available to Elanhill.

Just as the main fleet of the Iran Hill Navy was heading south, Chris received a telegram from Greken.

The message is divided into two parts, one of which asks if Ellan Hill used forbidden spells, as Gluck had sensed the fluctuations of the forbidden spells some time ago.

The inquiry was very sincere, and Grican even said frankly that they didn't feel the magic and were not sure about the scale of the forbidden spell, but they were sure that there had been a forbidden spell attack in the direction of Iran Hill - they hoped that Ran Hill would be cautious about using this terrifying power similar to a forbidden spell attack, as it would "cause irreparable casualties and losses".

The reason why the telegram was used to ask for a warning at this time was because they had not intended to ask the question before. Recently, however, they had changed their minds, and it was the second part of the message that asked questions about forbidden spells.

"The Magic Eye is coming back to life, that's been confirmed. Humanoid demons have recently begun to appear around the Eye of Magic, and time is running out for everyone in this world. Looking at the second part of the message, there was no nervousness on Chris's face.

Even, he had a little expectation: he was now fully prepared, because he had mastered nuclear weapons technology, or rather, he had mastered a formidable power comparable to the forbidden spell attacks of the wizarding world.
