Chapter 1195, Maritime Operations
After another day's rest on the side of the Yangtze River Fortress, Jie Zichuan, Cerelia and Hu Che set out on their way back to Spiegel City.
In just a few days, it is naturally impossible for Jie Zichuan to recover.
Therefore, on the way back, in order to ensure the quality of rest, the three of them discussed for a while, and Cerelia directly went to charter one of the carriages.
At the same time, on the side of Spiegel City, Yuan Xi's letter of guilt was undoubtedly sent to Spiegel City faster than Jie Zichuan and them.
After reading Luo Ji of this letter of guilt, the two eyebrows can be said to be directly twisted together.
A destroyer, he lost it, but the problem is the actions of the Fish-Man and Hydra!
Behind the hydra is the dark elf.
In other words, Naredis had already discovered his shipbuilding in the Yangtze River port.
Under this premise, as an enemy, Reddis would not let Luo Ji build too comfortably, so it was not incomprehensible to send fish people and hydras to harass and attack.
But the problem is this wave, according to Yuan Xi's report, not only did the other side launch an attack, but even Hydra wanted to forcibly tow their destroyer away.
What does that mean? The other party has discovered the extraordinaryness of their Ten Thousand Realms Civilization Battleship, so they want to grab one and go back to study!
Luo Ji, who already realized that the matter was a headache, directly signaled Ike to convey the matter to the Commander of Staff Headquarters.
At the same time, he also hurriedly sent a warrant to kamikaze city, asking William Zhang to temporarily transfer to the Yangtze River fortress with Ysera to guard against the follow-up attack of Hydra.
At the same time, the elven mage Iverson was also transferred over, allowing him to temporarily sit in the Yangtze River Fortress.
During this period, Luo Ji actually thought about whether he would be able to kill the hydra if he could have a high-level mage of the water system and come up with a high-level spell.
But the reality is, not to mention the high-level mages of the water system, the current civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms does not even have a mid-level mage of the water system, this is a reality that must be recognized.
Now turning the perspective to the headquarters of the commander of staff, the headquarters of the commander of staff who received the news can be said to have immediately convened an emergency meeting, and the seven-member staff group headed by Guo Jia are all capable, qualified, and loyal military ministers.
However, even the staff committee felt an incomparable headache when facing the hydra that could dive to the bottom of the sea.
Luo Ji originally thought that when the steam battleship was built, he should be able to restrain Hydra to a certain extent, but in fact, he seemed to underestimate this kind of fantasy creature, even if the threat posed by shipborne guns to Hydra was relatively limited.
The staff committee had a heated discussion about how to deal with the hydra hiding in the sea.
"When the Elven King went on an expedition to the swamp rainforest before, there was a successful case, we could let the Giant Eagle Knight directly bombard an entire river, of course, ordinary grenades are not powerful enough, we can use the newly developed high-explosive grenades."
"Please recognize the reality, how many resources does our military have to consume each time in this way? Moreover, as long as the hydra continued to dive, the damage of the explosion would not be able to affect it! ”
"What about torpedoes? The torpedo being developed by the Ordnance Research Department is just enough to carry out underwater attacks. ”
"The torpedo is still under development, there are difficulties that have not yet been overcome, and now they cannot be put into use at all, God knows when they will be able to come up with new results."
"In fact, if you want to kill Hydra, the most effective weapon should be Ysera's dragon breath, and there have been two instances of severely injuring Hydra, and the second time it directly destroyed one of the opponent's snake heads!"
"That's right, Ysera's dragon breath has successfully left it with only eight heads, but Ysera can't swim or dive, and now that hydra is already on guard, once he sees Ysera, it is estimated that he will not easily surface, you are really talking nonsense!"
Looking at the members of the staff committee who were arguing endlessly in front of him, Guo Jia, as the chief of the General Staff, sat there without saying a word, obviously not wanting to stop it.
Because that's what is normal.
The answer is often born in the midst of heated arguments.
And while the headquarters of the Commander of Staff was arguing over this issue, Reddis, who was far away at sea, had also learned the news that his plan had failed.
The only thing to be thankful for this time is that his Hydra did not suffer as hard as the previous one.
The civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, Reddis has long regarded it as a major problem.
The elven dragon's breath can cause a death threat to the hydra, and after that, the lizardmen have also become involved with the civilization of the world.
In other words, in the current situation, there are elven dragons in the sky and giant horned dragon lizards in the land!
In the face of these two giant beasts, his advantage is basically only at sea.
This situation undoubtedly completely aroused Reddis's sense of crisis.
He began to order the fishmen to search along the river, and if you want to grasp the enemy, you must first have information!
It took a relatively long time for the fishmen to spot the lizardmen's tracks, and then they found the lizardmen's camp, a human-infested harbor, strange structures on the river, and steel warships!
The appearance of the steel battleship was beyond common sense for Reddis, he couldn't imagine how such a heavy steel hull could float on the water, and with such an exaggerated weight, shouldn't it sink directly into the water?
And that's just preliminary information.
According to the follow-up information sent back by the fish-man scouts, they found that the steel warships were sailing on the river at an unexpectedly fast speed, even far exceeding their dark elf black sail warships, and the guns mounted on the hull were also amazingly powerful.
When Reddis heard the news, a strong sense of uneasiness instantly swelled up in his heart.
The unknown is terrifying, but for Reddis, the even more terrifying thing is that the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds has begun to touch the sea.
Once you wait for the formation of the opponent's sea power, it will inevitably threaten your own situation at this time.
Faced with this situation, Reddis certainly couldn't sit stupidly and do nothing.
At that moment, he made a quick decision and directly sent the soldiers of the Fish-Man Clan and the Hydra to go deeper, and he wanted to see if he could snatch one of the steel battleships on the opposite side and take a look.
And now it turns out that his operation failed.
But that doesn't make Reddis thwart his plans and let his enemies develop, so what's the difference between that and slow suicide?
The enemy is already baring their fangs at him, and if he doesn't do anything, he'll only end up gnawing away!
