Unlike other civilizations, Medeno has been adrift at sea for hundreds of years, and almost everything is stored at sea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although they have connected many large ships together to form a floating city on the sea, they are still strongly affected by nature, whether it is a typhoon or a tsunami, which can cause them huge damage. Although none of the surviving Medenor people have seen the Western Continent in their homeland, they have never given up on the hope of returning to their homeland, and they even wish to "return home together in the coming days" before saying goodbye to their companions, which shows their longing for the mainland.

It's not that they haven't tried to occupy the continent, the Medeno have tried to occupy new lands since they were expelled from the Western Continent, but they don't have enough population, and they don't have any good weapons, and their mages died in the final evacuation process along with the attacking clay figures, and almost all the magic materials were lost in the fall of the ** Division's Tower.

Due to the lack of ships at sea and overpopulation, a large number of Meideno people died in the following decades due to various epidemics, sepsis, and even malformed children born of inbreeding. In order to control the number of people on board, the Medeno Convention stipulates that all Medeno people who have reached the age of fifteen must go ashore and go on a wandering journey, and these wanderers can only return to these floating cities on the sea if they have made outstanding contributions to the Medeno people, but they cannot return to their home cities on the sea for the sake of inbreeding.

As for these wandering Medenors, there are only a few ways for them to make an outstanding contribution to their kindred: to acquire a ship of greater tonnage; negotiate trade routes of sufficient interest; Or donate a large sum of money to the city of Medeno. And the difficulty of these things is not something that those who have just become adults can do, so they often use the method of cheating, abducting and stealing to accumulate wealth, which also causes the reputation of the Maidno people.

Later, the Medeno slowly gathered such a large fleet in this way, and then obtained the use of firearms from the Eastern Continent, and then discovered the Central Continent of the Yaning people, who were good at industrial production and production of fine products, and gradually began to seize the sea trade routes with these and gradually became the race that dominated all the maritime trade in the world. In order to grasp the monopoly of maritime trade, they cooperated with the Yaning people to sell the products of the Yaning people to the Eastern Continent, and together with the Yaning people to earn huge wealth and raw materials. The Yanin, on the other hand, built them well-built warships and provided them with weapons to help them maintain their monopoly on maritime trade.

Today, hundreds of years later, the Medeno have six fleets for naval warfare and more than a dozen maritime cities, and their convoys travel between the major ports in the Central and Eastern Continents, and the daily cargo handled is measured by sky-high prices. But more than half a year ago, they suddenly ran into a strange supplier, who claimed to be American, and offered a batch of strange products, the most incredible of which was perfume. Because almost all of the drinking water in the sea cities of the Medenor people comes from rainfall, it is not easy to collect, and it is often either stopped at one point or it is endlessly damaged, resulting in damage to the rainwater collector, anyway, the fresh water has never been sufficient, so almost all the Medeno people have a problem is body odor. Just imagine how frustrating it is for a beautiful girl to come over and make you look pleasing to the eye, but suddenly there is a smell of body. But this perfume solves this problem, as long as you spray a little perfume on your body, you can keep the fragrance for a few days.

The first thing the people of Maidnor did was to send these perfumes to the Yaning people, but the craftsmen of Yaning shook their heads when they saw these perfumes, not to mention that they did not have a spectrum analyzer to analyze the composition of the perfume, just because the fragrance inside was so strong, it was completely impossible to distinguish the smell inside. Not to mention the clarity of the perfume bottle, and the plastic spray device that they couldn't figure out, all in all, it was completely impossible to replicate.

Forget about perfumes, and later these suppliers actually offered to provide seawater desalination systems. So they first tried to install the transport ship "Venopolis", and after loading it, the Yaning people who came on board to inspect it could only turn their heads like rattles, this kind of thing could not be copied at all, and they could not even figure out what the jars and jars in were made of. For this reason, Yaning people even dismantled the most critical filter tank that the supplier said, but they still couldn't see anything, and wasted hundreds of taels of spare parts in vain. Later, they had no choice but to buy 150 sets of the same desalination system, and these "Americans" taught the installation method and installed it themselves in the sea city, for which they spent a lot of gold and silver. It has always been them who make other people's money, but now it has become someone else's money, and the decision-makers of Medno feel quite unhappy, but there is no way to do it.

They don't know the origin of these "Americans" at all, it stands to reason that although they haven't surveyed all the seas of this world, they have basically run all over it, and they have long discovered that this world is a spherical shape, but they have never heard of the country "America", and they can't find it in history books and encyclopedias, and they seem to have just come out of nowhere. However, a few months ago, they suddenly disappeared from the city of Mingzhou, Wuguo, and even the Huang Shi Huang shopkeeper, who had been their agent, did not know the whereabouts of these "American maritime merchants" at this time.

Fortunately, two months ago, a fleet of ships that went to Champa to trade found some products full of "American style", such as fine cotton cloth for weavers, cool oil for repelling mosquitoes at sea, etc., these unheard of products were once again born, and the price was quite cheap. This caught the attention of the Medinor intelligence agencies, who quickly dispatched intelligence gatherers, and after almost a month of inquiry, they finally learned in the teleportation report that a strange group of pirates had established a new city twenty-five or six miles north of the port of Champong. These pirates were strangely dressed and possessed extremely sophisticated firearms, and during the expulsion of Wuguo An Yuncheng, they defeated the attacks of more than 2,000 troops and village warriors with a mere force of dozens of troops. The most unbelievable thing for these Medeno intelligence agents was that the pirates were rumored to have brought with them an extremely large iron ship, which could sail freely on the sea, and there were many ships that were relatively small but also sailless and oar-free. And they also heard that these pirates had a flat-bottomed boat, which could actually go to the beachhead, lower the bow of the boat, and let the car in the boat go ashore, and both the car and the boat, all made of steel.

It's not that the people of Medeno have never seen steel, but steel sinks when it enters the water, how can it float on the water, let alone such a large ship, is this a floating technique that was lost a long time ago? And those pirate vehicles are heard to be pulled by oxen and horses, as long as a pirate can run around, it is rumored that there are some steel machinery, with their own steel shovels, a shovel can top the earthwork dug by ordinary people in a day.

This information is as incredible as the Arabian Nights in the eyes of the intelligence officers, but the intelligence gatherers swear that it is absolutely true, leaving them at a loss. At this time, they received news that the barbarians on the southern islands, which had been supported by the Medeno people all along, had been attacked by the Annam army, armed with firearms, near the port of Champong, north of the port of Wenshan, and suffered heavy losses. Listening to those barbarians who fled back said that these Annamite people used very sophisticated firearms, they could fire at a distance of more than a hundred steps, and they were extremely lethal, this defeated barbarian tribe was an army that domesticated giant beasts, and even giant beasts were killed in battle, which made the intelligence officers have to believe that the firearms of this group of Annamite people are indeed very sophisticated. So here comes the question, excavators...... Ah no, how did these weapons, which were stronger than their own firearms, be equipped in Annan's army?

There is only one truth, these so-called pirates must be the "Americans" who appeared more than half a year ago and disappeared a few months ago.

A few days ago, they received a distress message from the staff officer stationed in the barbarian army, and more than 10,000 barbarian troops encountered a strange bird that continued to attack for several days, and continued to be attacked by some inexplicable attacks in the process of going north, and suffered heavy losses. This has never happened in the process of continuous northern aggression that began a few years ago, when did the people of Annan have such ability? was able to burn the grain and grass of the barbarian army among the ten thousand armies, and inflicted heavy casualties on them without even seeing a human figure, which must have been the skill of those pirates.

The intelligence analyst suggested to the fleet commander that since the staff officer had offered to exchange the supplies of the port of Champa for the naval blockade of the port of Champa and the supply of the convoy to the barbarian army, he might as well do as the officer asked him to do so, and by the way, see what the pirates were capable of. As a race that dominates the sea all year round, they naturally know the absolute superiority of the combination of large and small iron ships and sailless and oarless sails and oars in naval warfare, and if possible, taking these ships from these pirates can provide a more powerful boost for continuing to dominate the sea in the future.

According to the plan made by the Naval Command of Meednor, the First Fleet sent six of its most elite Edge-class warships to blockade the pirate Vostochny Harbor at night, and if feasible, to seize the self-propelled iron ships. If the port of the east is blocked, then these pirates will not be able to continue to provide weapons and reinforcements to the port of Champa, and they will inevitably be captured by borrowing the hands of the barbarians to seize the port of Champa.

However, at this time, they were completely unaware that the sneak attack of their six warships at this time was completely ineffective, and the light points jumping on the radar screen were as conspicuous as the light rogues illuminated by flashlights, and at this time Cruiser No. 1 was heading at full speed at twelve knots in the direction where the enemy was coming, and their ships were also equipped with radar, and the sailors had already put their ammunition in combat positions and were ready for engagement.
