Chapter 1498: The White Boat will always have to go it alone
Noble Combine Fleet...... Uh, well, now this huge fleet concentrated in the Elichar Sky Region doesn't have an official name yet. It is said that the people above are discussing whether to call it the "Qinwang Army" or the "Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army" or something. The key problem is that the Federation has no "king", and the nobles have never been "loyal", so we still call it the Noble Union in a very old-fashioned way.
All in all, the nobles really used the coffin book this time for the sake of the coup d'état, no, in order to "set aside the chaos and save the building from collapse". In order to demonstrate their strength, they concentrated five first-class battleships, twelve battleships, and more than 40 patrol and frigate ships of various sizes in the Elichar Sky Zone alone, plus three new special class guided warships of the same class as the Orucello. This scale alone has actually surpassed the main force of the Federation fleet in the sky above the Iron Rock Canyon in the Battle of Farahals. Of course, for the aristocracy, what "fight for the country", "fight for the protection of the people" and so on, it sounds very glorious, it is just an obligation without any interests, and fighting for a coup d'état or not to "set things right" represents the glory of themselves and their families, and even the fate of the next hundred years, of course, is much more important.
However, we all know that in the so-called fleet, the ship branch represents the upper limit, but the crew will represent the lower limit. With so many warships, many of which were old-fashioned ships that had been withdrawn from active naval service and then picked up by local lords as ocean falls, it was naturally a nightmare difficulty to complete a reasonable fleet formation that included combat effectiveness, but it was a complete hellish difficulty to recruit a sufficient number of qualified sailors plus officers.
What's more, since it is a noble combined fleet, as the name suggests, the captain of each of its ships must of course be a noble son with a glorious and sacred bloodline. This is the case, for example, of the current captain of the cruiser "Queen Bertie", Commodore Rastit Berti.
The 40-year-old senior military officer was born in the Bevel family, and has been moving around his hometown, the province of Egre in the northeastern region of the Federation, from the county sheriff, to the county magistrate, and then to the sheriff of the heavenly district. By the time he became the governor of the province, he had the rank of colonel in the reserves. Although he did not serve a day on active duty, he is said to have made great contributions in the battle against all kinds of sub-species of bandits and all kinds of "mud-legged traitors" - no way, the northeast is next to the Atlas Mountains, where the civilians mainly live by mining, but they are a little more powerful than farmers. Uprisings will of course also be much more frequent than in agricultural areas.
All in all, according to the current parlance, this Lieutenant General Rastiet Bevel is a man whose hands are stained with the blood of the people - but by the standards of the nobles, this can be regarded as a relatively capable "talent".
Commodore Berti served as the captain of the "Queen Bertie" and also served as the admiral of the patrol fleet of the three ships. For the governor of a remote province, a brigadier general who had been leading a group of ruffians to suppress mobs and bandits, this was the most skilled force he had ever commanded.
The Commodore stood proudly on the bow of the ship, overlooking the bustling city of Elichar in the distance, and suddenly had a sense of accomplishment in reaching the pinnacle of his life. At that moment, he even felt that he was going to become the king of Elichar, but after all, he was too old to do such a thing as shouting "I am the king of the world" on the bow of the ship even if he had not graduated from the second illness in the field. Of course, in this way, it would be a little too frustrated to ignore the flag signal sent by himself, and the white boat that was busy there.
"There's no reaction over there, can't you understand the flag?" He said loudly, "Turn on the amplification circle." ”
He's a magician himself—and even though he took the exam three times, he's not even able to use amplification magic. It's just that, of course, you can't do the chores yourself, otherwise how can you establish the authority of a high-ranking officer? To put it bluntly, most of the time, the prestige of the superior is established by giving frequent orders.
The Commodore quickly felt the magic fluctuations of the amplification array, nodded in satisfaction, and then shouted loudly, "The crew of the Orucello! The crew of the Aurucello! Please leave the cabin immediately and line up on deck for inspection! We are patrol warships under the Federal Emergency Committee, authorized by the Senate, with emergency enforcement powers! Please immediately accept the order and go to the deck to line up for inspection! If you refuse to do so, we will regard you as treason. Repeat it, and you will be regarded as treason! This is the last warning ......"
The amplification magic depends on the abilities of each caster, and the effect fluctuates from 10,000 concert speakers to home speakers. The effect at this point is that the home stereo is turned on to the maximum, but it is enough for it to transmit the sound to the white boat here.
"He said they had Senate mandates." Mariana Ils stammered.
"How is it possible, the Azure Palace was just blown up. The elders haven't even booked a time for the next meeting, so what kind of authorization does it have? Andreel snorted coldly.
"How's our engine?" Sehireu said loudly.
"There is still a need for ...... A minute at most! The dwarven engineers replied.
"Excellent! Then, Colonel Ofresha and Lieutenant Colonel Kemir, let's take their places according to what we have just discussed! ”
“…… Ming, got it! The two powerful muscular uncles were completely suppressed by a young girl's aura at this time, and hurriedly nodded subconsciously.
"Over there...... Well, I'll give it a try. "Sehireu's steering is not bad, at least above average. She felt that since she had already served on the battleship, some key skills also needed to be mastered, so she went to learn them seriously. This girl is such a very responsible character, everyone should be used to it. In addition, with her learning ability, if she really wants to learn something seriously, she can actually master it much faster than mortals. No matter how difficult it is to steer, it can still be compared to casting spells. Anyway, you don't need to force yourself to memorize so many runes and spells, so many formulas for the combination of elements.
What's more, when the white boat directly attacked the demon god and the gods, Sai Xiliu was also present. To put it bluntly, she is the only one who has actual combat experience in piloting a white boat.
"Then, the front main gun will be handed over to you. Little Dina. Remember to take the opportunity to clear the field! ”
The little girl did not hesitate at all, smiled and made a gesture to Sesileu that was fine, jumped off the box, and ran briskly towards the bow of the ship. She is like a little girl who has just received her favorite gift, and her jubilant back is full of youth and cuteness...... However, why do you always feel that cheerful steps are a little murderous?
"Clear?" Andrel's gaze became more and more subtle.
"Always have a little bit of insurance. If you don't do it, you won't die, I hope they understand. ”
Seyleus spoke to Andreel as he walked briskly onto the bridge and looked at the empty captain's seat. Remember, the last person to sit in that seat was Orucello himself, after whom the ship was named. A hint of remembrance and sorrow flashed across her face, and she bowed slightly, as if to salute the captain who did not exist there, and then strode into the position of the main helmsman, and gently grasped the steering wheel.
"In the future, if you have a qualified full-time helmsman, remember to sit there." Andreel patted Sehiraeus on the shoulder and pointed to the captain's actions.
"Learn, senior sister...... According to the rank, it should be your ......"
"We're all about to become rebels. The rank is not convincing. If we do get forced to become a pirate this time, Sehiru, who do you think everyone will prefer to be the captain? Andreil laughed.
Without waiting for Sehireu to reply, she added: "Besides, I am not fit to call the shots on the bridge. Charge, fight, cast spells, manipulate cannons and even sail, I'm a person who knows a little bit of everything, but I'm not proficient in anything. So it's better to be an honest brick, and move it wherever you need it. ”
Seyriliu glanced at the other party deeply, and then smiled calmly, "...... Well, from the moment I was ready to take the ship, I was already the mastermind. ”
She and Andreel are neither hypocritical little women, nor dark-minded power-fixing villains, nor stupid people, how can they have a problem because of this kind of thing.
Sesileu gripped the rudder and looked through the bridge with a great view, looking at the cruiser that was only a hundred meters away from him. The other party seemed to have finally lost patience, and opened the magic crystal cannon door on the bow of the ship, revealing the crystal tip that was gathering energy.
"This is the last warning! If you don't obey the order, you will be regarded as treason! We will deal the heaviest and most merciless blow! One last warning at this time! We ......"
"Miss, the engine is ready to start!" The voice of the dwarven master master in the organ room has been transmitted to Sehiru's ears through the sound transmission channel - in order to ensure the command of the whole ship, there are actually two sets of sound transmission systems on the white ship, magic and mechanism.
"Let's go!" Sai Xiliu shouted: "Go directly to the second battle speed!" ”
"Uh...... Sister Sehiru, there are three ships ahead of us...... Ahhh Before the sister of the Ils family finished her questioning, the white boat's guiding engine had already spewed out an invisible air flow directly on the stern, which confused the faces of the gendarmes on the trestle on the spot, blowing them so that they could not even sit steadily, and the expressions on their faces were completely deformed. The conductive force is a clean, almost harmless and non-toxic energy if it does not run wild, and its exhaust is nothing more than a hurricane with a little manic element, at most it blows people into a rolling gourd. If they were using an internal combustion engine, these poor people would have been cooked.
The soldiers on the white boat had just thrown away the chains that served as cables, and the boat had already left the trestle. Of course, even with the guide engine of a battleship, it would take a certain amount of time to push such a large battleship to the so-called second combat speed, and at this time, the main gun in the bow of the ship began to roar for the first time of the day.
The loud bombardment completely covered the warning sound after the amplification in an instant, and the howling wind even destroyed the structure of the amplification magic for a moment. Your Excellency the Commodore who stood in front of the Queen Berti was probably the first to face the shelling, right? It's just that the hurricane and loud noise generated in an instant have robbed him of his sense of hearing and touch, and he is even more blank, and he can only subconsciously open his mouth: "They ran away?" ”
Then, as if the board had been hit by a heavy hammer, the bow of the ship collapsed instantly, but before the entire hull could be crushed, the waves of light and heat completely enveloped it. All of the ship's officers and sailors died before they could do anything about it. They weren't even burned to death, but were torn to pieces by the shock wave before that.
The aftermath of the explosion even affected the two cruisers next to it, and even pushed them off track, tilting half of the hull. Several unprepared soldiers descended directly from the deck of the ship and plunged headlong into the sea of clouds below.
“…… Oh, that's the clearance. Andreil sighed, feeling that she was not even excited.
"It's too powerful." Sehireu Road.
"What?"
"I mean the main gun. The destructive power against such an old-fashioned cruiser was too great. Sai Xiliu said: "In the future, it is enough to fight this kind of ship secondary cannon and flame crossbow, and the precious main gun shells must be left behind to hit larger targets." ”
"A bigger goal? Like, how many things? ”
"If they're going to come, that's not impossible!"
As he spoke, the white ship had already opened its shield and rushed directly through the middle of the exploding light-heat hurricane. The two old cruisers next to them, who were completely confused, were once again squeezed away from the distance, like quails directly squeezed out of the way by a white swan that was arrogant and domineering next to him.
It was the fourth boom in two days, after the Blue Palace, the shopping street, and an intersection, and for the first time today. Many citizens who had not yet had time to get out of bed were woken up by the loud noise, and many of them directly covered their hair with quilts and screamed and wailed - they were completely fed up. Some of the more daring people came out of the house tremblingly, only to see the three new floating ships hovering over the ruins of the Azure Palace in the central square, speeding up in the direction of the explosion.
At this moment, the white ship had completely detached from Elichar's main island and was heading towards the celestial region due east. Directly in front of her, a battleship of the first rank, which was even a few points larger than her, and its respective warships were on routine patrol, and the whole army was in a normal patrol formation, not noticing the battle situation here.
At that moment, everyone seemed to see a knight in white armor and white horse, roaring down from the hill and pounced on a group of enemies who were still in a state of confusion during the normal march. He was obviously single-handed, but he rushed out of the momentum of thousands of troops. He has many enemies, but he is like a flock of sheep charged by a tiger.
Anyway, as long as it is a white boat, it is destined to be a one-man fate!
"This time it's a bit far away! But it's better to be able to kill with one hit! Sehireu said to Akdina, who was operating the main gun, through the intercom: "This is the signal of the Sky Force class battleship, twenty years ago. Its tisru core should be in the second layer of the middle and aft part of the hull! ”
"Well, no problem. It is no more difficult than hunting to shoot a deer with a bow and arrow from a distance of 100 meters. The voice of the little girl was naturally confident, or rather, a little bit of excitement that smelled of blood.
