Chapter 1545: Naval Battle
"Lord Elgang, we must slow down and use seawater to cool the core, all the cooling devices are alarming, otherwise we won't even have a chance to fight back, and we will be blown up by our own power core." The captain of Elgang's battleship emphasized again: "You have a minute and thirty seconds to hesitate. ”
Elgang suspected that the captain was deliberately deceiving himself, but the power wings of the swan-wing structure on either side of the battleship had indeed begun to redden, and a large amount of steam was splashed when the waves crashed on it.
"Do we have a chance to defeat the human fleet behind us?" Elgang asked the captain, having already made up his mind.
"If they still use bows and arrows and trebuchets as weapons, as before, then our victory is certain." The elven captain reached out and put his hat back on: "But as you can see, they are even equipped with some kind of power-plant similar to ours, and I personally have a hard time believing that they will continue to use those outdated weapons." ”
"Didn't you think of this before you ordered the shelling of their port, Lord Elgon?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the Elven Captain's tone: "Now give the order, we must stop the power wings." ”
The captain was obviously quite dissatisfied with Elgang, he heard the explosion in his sleep, but when he woke up, he actually found that his battleship was shelling the human harbor, and the members of the battleship's weapons team actually obeyed Elgang's order and bypassed themselves to make this decision, which was simply an insult to him.
Fortunately, such a mutiny did not only happen on one of his warships, but also happened to most of the warships in the entire fleet, some of which were personally ordered by the captain, and some of which were acted alone by the elven non-commissioned officers below.
"Stop complaining, Captain, we're in the same boat now." Elgang looked at the captain with a gloomy face: "You will soon get the order from Avalon, we can't watch the dignity of the elves be discarded by those pro-human wild species, now I order, lower the power wings, and use the steam generated when it cools down to fight back!" ”
"You just need to give the order to shut down, Lord Elgon, as for the specific tactics, we are much more professional than you." As soon as the captain turned around and stood in front of the communication equipment, he began to give orders: "All of them, listen to my orders, stop the power wing output!" ”
It was as if an invisible hand held down the entire elven fleet, and the speed of the fleet slowed down by more than a third at once.
"The last three rows of battleships began to lower the power wings, using steam to cover themselves, and the left and right battleships each went forward five nautical miles to lower the power wings, and we needed an arc-shaped steam barrier." The captain kept giving orders, and they discussed countless tactics in the academy about the new warship equipped with power wings.
Now, finally, there is a chance to engage in real combat.
When the elven warships reached their limit, the human fleet also breathed a sigh of relief, and their magic power drive device continued to have problems, and seven or eight warships were already sunk due to overloading along the way.
Then the human warship suddenly found that there was fog in front of it, and as the power wings on both sides of the elven battleship sank, submerged under the seawater, the high temperature stirred up a large amount of water vapor, covering the elven battleship.
The mages in the elven fleet began to activate the 'crystal bomb' carried by the ship the moment the water vapor rose, and the reason why it was called the crystal bomb was because this magic crystal bomb that had only been created in the last fifty years made a large amount of glass material, reflecting like crystal in the sun.
Those bombs activated by magic were pushed into the sea one by one along the special slide with the force of the elven warriors, and the whole process revealed the elegance of the elves, no way, this glass product is so fragile and sensitive, once hit by a hard object, it will explode.
Fortunately, the elves finally solved the problem that the bombs would be activated by large waves, and each crystal bomb was solidified with a small water elemental creature to calm the waves of the surrounding water.
Expensive, beautiful, and powerful, this thing is undoubtedly the perfect weapon in the eyes of the elves.
Hundreds of crystal bombs were left in the steam field, and now the wind on the sea is not very strong, which is suitable for them to use steam to hide the crystal bombs.
Ahead, the other elven warships had already laid another layer of steam to hide the fleet, and the magic fluctuations caused by the explosion of the crystal bomb were the best signal that the elven mages used to locate the human fleet.
This is equivalent to the elven version of mines and radars, but the human fleet standing opposite them has the incomparable naval combat experience of the aborigines, although the EU people have always been pressed by the new Huaxia, but their ancestors are at least wide, if there is no listener, they may not be completely suppressed by the new Huaxia on the sea.
No matter how experienced the captain is, he can't win in the case of generational differences, and the EU's navy will not forget that tragic experience for a long time, there is not even a ghost shadow on the radar, but friendly warships are constantly being sunk.
The blow came from the bottom of the sea, from outer space, from beyond the radar horizon, and now, they were going to send this helplessness and fear to the elves.
"Sir, the airship has passed through the steam mist area, the entire steam field is seven nautical miles long, about seven hundred meters wide, the wind speed is four to five levels, the steam has no signs of being dispersed, the mages said that a magic signal has been found in the steam field, and the elves use magic to maintain the existence of the steam area." The communications officer reported to the captain: "Nineteen nautical miles behind the steam area, the elves are arranging the second steam field, and twenty-three elven warships are leaving the first steam field. ”
"Give them some color, fire a salvo of three rounds, cover that sea!" As the order was given, all of the Europa fleet's capital ships slowed down and adjusted their course.
It is said that the new generation of warships has been equipped with armored shells, rotatable turrets, and tall conning towers for commanders, so that when the new ships are commissioned, they will no longer need to slowly find the angle of fire.
Nearly one hundred and fifty warships, more than a thousand guns were covered by fire according to the coordinates provided by the high-altitude airships, and humans also created a gray-black 'steam zone' on their side.
And for the elves, this is the end of the world, the sky is full of fire and rain with a whistling sound, the whole sea seems to be boiling, countless fragments of battleships, human stumps flew into the sky, three salvos bombed this sea area for five minutes, when the fire coverage is over, there is not a single elf battleship standing on the sea.
These elven warships are equipped with magic shields, equipped with invisible magic circles, and equipped with large magic positions that can affect the surrounding environment, all of which are useless, and when the human firepower descends, all functions are not turned on, because the magic energy core is still in a cooling state due to the consumption of power wings.
