Chapter 438: The Undercurrent of Golden Bay (Part II)
The blade of the god pierces the sky, bringing the origins of civilization and war.
Order is not just obedience, but also resistance and struggle.
The first to bear the brunt was none other than the most famous first-class battleship in the Holy Cult Country, and also the flagship of the First Fleetβββ the Divine Bless. It is 80 meters long and 35 meters wide, and it looks like a short sword that lies flat in the air and is slightly dented.
There are a total of 140 magic guns on both sides of the silver-white hull, but that's not the point, the most distinctive feature of the Divine Bless is its angping bow at the front. Unlike other ships that take the form of a floating mage, the Divine Bless is known for its melee attacks, despite being the flagship. Its bow is simply a flat blade. In battle, the most common thing this ship does is to rush directly at the enemy ship, plunge its bow into the hull of the enemy ship like a dagger, and then the paladins rush forward for a white-knuckle battle.
This battleship is also a legendary warship in the country of the Holy Religion, and the concept of its original construction is mainly because the construction technology of the magic guide ship of the Holy Religion Country was relatively backward at that time, and it cannot be compared with the magic guide warships of other countries at the level of long-range firepower, but on the contrary, because of the protection of the goddess, the defense of the battleship of the Holy Religion Country is generally very high.
And it was in this situation that in the face of the threat of the magic fleets of other countries, the Holy Cult Kingdom simply did the opposite, completely abandoning the long-range firepower advantage in the air, and only focused its strength on the defense and speed of the warships, so that these warships could directly rush into the enemy fleet formation as soon as the battle began, and then fight with bayonets.
At that time, the Holy Cult made fifteen warships of this type, but by the end of the war, only three were still in good condition, and two of them were later decommissioned, except for the Divine Blessing, which was converted and joined the First Fleet as the flagship. It symbolizes the protection of the goddess and the blade that represents the wrath of the gods, as well as the indomitable will of the Holy Religion Nation.
The sword of divine blessing, there is no advance or retreat.
And immediately after the Divine Blessing, there are thirty Holy Shield-class magic guide battleships, their total length is about 40 meters, which is also the most common type of main battleship on this continent, compared to the Divine Blessing in front, the appearance of these Holy Shield-class battleships looks more like a piece of silver leaves, each of these main battleships has 80 magic cannons, the warships of the Holy Cult Country are mainly dexterous, because there is divine protection to increase defense, so their warships, It is more based on the tactics of wandering and maneuvering.
At the moment, the fleet was like a flock of white birds, gracefully and lightly heading in the direction of the harbor.
"It's coming!!"
Seeing this scene in front of her, Ogelan couldn't help but be excited, she was also a member of the Holy Sect Country, and seeing such a huge fleet appear in front of her, Ogelan was also quite proud and excited.
"Knockβββ! Knock βββ!! β
However, at this moment, as if to spoil this wonderful atmosphere, a noisy war drum sounded, and hearing this war drum, Oglan couldn't help frowning, and then she turned her head to look, and then, the eldest lady's face couldn't help but change.
I saw that on the side of the First Fleet, another fleet had also arrived. They were all red, and even if you didn't have to look at the rugged hull, the image of the red dragon depicted on the sails, with its teeth and claws, already explained the origin of these ships.
The Seventh Fleet of Van Riel of the Flame Nation.
Compared to the magnificence and elegance of the Holy Cult Country, the warships of the Fire Nation followed a completely different style, and the bow of their warships was all dragons with open mouths and roaring roars, and the two-winged sails unique to the Fire Nation warships. From a distance, it looks as if these warships are living red dragons.
The largest of them is the Flame Dragon, the flagship of the Seventh Fleet. It was about the same length as the Bless of the Divine Blessing, but contrary to the design of the Bless in that the ship was equipped with a total of 200 magic guns. The idea is to tear all enemies that come into view to shreds. It also turned out that few warships could withstand a round of bombardment from the Flaming Dragon.
Of course, perhaps only the Divine Blessing can fight against it.
For a moment, the air became a little delicate, and in front of the airport, the fleet of the Holy Sect Country and the fleet of the Fire Country slowly moved forward, gradually forming a confrontation. The representatives of the various forces watching this scene also widened their eyes, and they didn't know what to say for a while. And Grand Knight Astor and Lieutenant General John were all smiling, as if they didn't see what was happening in front of them, just watching each other quietly.
Woo......... That's a real nuisance.........
Looking at this scene in front of him, Ogeland was sweating profusely. She could see both fleets moving towards the harbor in unison, with no intention of backing down. Obviously, although the two sides still maintain a friendly atmosphere on the surface, the meaning of fighting each other has already been revealed at this moment.
And that's not all.........
"Look, what's that?"
Just as the two sides were about to enter the channel, suddenly, a nobleman standing in front of the glass window pointed outside and shouted loudly, and at this time, everyone was surprised to find that there was actually a fleet behind the fleet of the Flame Country!
The number of warships in this fleet is almost the same as the previous two fleets, but the flagship of this fleet is very eye-catching.
Because it's just too big!
From a distance, this battleship is almost 150 meters long, which is almost the largest warship at present!
Of course, judging from its speed, it may be that it is not very agile because of its large size, but I have to admit that when I see such a behemoth flying in the sky, it will bring a great shock to anyone.
As for which country the battleship came fromβββ just look at the pattern of scales and gold coins drawn on it, and you can already get the answer.
"This is the latest warship that we have jointly researched with the Kingdom of Karon."
At this moment, Lieutenant General John also lost no time in smiling and joining the topic.
"We call it the Forward......... Unstoppable, enough to crush any enemy in its way, how, that's a beautiful name, isn't it? β
Those damn nouveau riche!
Hearing Lieutenant General John's words, O'Gran snorted softly. Is it great to have money? Can you do whatever you want if you have money? Damn it......... That's why I can't get used to the smugness of Caron's dead fat men!
Of course, strictly speaking, this battleship also has many flaws in O'Grand's opinion, such as being too large and easy to hit, or too slow to attack flexibly. If anything, she could criticize all sorts of shortcomings, even the ship's vulgar golden appearance.
But the helpless man is a visual creature after all, and the size of this advance battleship is a full circle larger than that of the Divine Blessing, and this stark contrast alone is enough to make people feel uncomfortable.
In any case, size is a pretty important aspect.
"Really, it made you laugh."
Lieutenant General John's smile did not change in the slightest, and he even waved his hand embarrassedly.
"To be honest, we didn't plan to make a fool of this battleship, after all, you see it's big and bulky, it's not a good battleship sample, but Caron has a strong demand to use this battleship for testing, so we brought it in by the way......... Ah, please don't mind........."
Hearing this, Oglan's heart was also quite unhappy, if she could, she really wanted to punch this bastard in the face. But there was no way she could do that, and right now, the huge battleship was already heading towards the channel under the escort of the Flame Nation's fleet, and it was clear that it wanted to enter the harbor before the Holy Cult's fleet!
Although this is only a battle of will, it is also a matter of face for the three countries. But to O'Grand's surprise, at this moment, the First Fleet of the Holy Sect suddenly slowed down and slowed down, and at the same time opened up the formation......... What does that mean? Could it be that they intend to surrender? In full view?
Thinking of this, Ogelan couldn't help but glance at the Grand Knight of Astor beside him, only to see that the Grand Knight was still smiling, squinting his eyes, as if he didn't mean anything at all. Although Ogeland wanted to say something, at the same time, suddenly, several flashes of light flashed in front of her.
Could it be that the First Fleet opened fire?
While thinking of this unreliable idea, Ogeland also hurriedly looked in the direction of the flash, and then, the girl couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
I saw white beams of light fall from the sky like meteors, landing in the gap in front of the First Fleet, and then they quickly expanded and turned into magic circles.
This is......... Spatial transfer circle, isn't it .........!
Thinking of this, O'Grand's eyes widened in surprise, in her memory, in the entire continent, there was only one force that had a fleet capable of spatial transfer!
That's ......... Guardians of the Eye of the Sky in the Land of Wizards!
"Hoo βββββ"
With the flickering of magical brilliance, dozens of warships appeared in the eyes of everyone, unlike the modified models of the other three countries, until now, the mages of the Wizard Nation still use the oldest magic warship style, with three decks and 85 magic guide guns is their standard design, which has hardly changed in decades.
But this does not mean that the warships of the Magic Guiding Country are all antique, thanks to the excellent alchemy and magic skills, although the battleships of the Magic Guiding Country are standard styles, but they each bear completely different responsibilities, coupled with the ring law increase for mages on the Magic Guiding Battleship, making the Magic Guiding Country's battleships one of the most influential existences in the sky on this continent.
And this time, in the fleet of the Wizard Country, a brand new warship was also displayed.
"That's ........."
Looking at the standing existence in the fleet of the Demon Guiding Country, many people were taken aback, if the previous warships of the Holy Sect Country, the Flame Country and the Wealth Country were more or less "battleships", then the tone of this battleship of the Demon Guiding Country was a battleship, and it was better to say that it was a small circular floating island. Around this floating island, there are a total of six mage towers, and that's not the most important thing.
Importantly, around this floating island, you can clearly see the berths used to moor the magic warship!
"This ........."
"Hehehe."
Looking at the expression of Lieutenant General John beside him, Grand Knight Astor smiled.
"I'm smiling you, Lieutenant General John, to be honest, we don't want to dominate any sea area, we just want to be able to protect our territory. That's why we joined forces with the Wizard Nation to conduct research on air berths......... Well, I'll admit, it's not really a battleship, it's just used to supply and anchor other magic warships........."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing the "explanation" of Grand Knight Aster, Lieutenant General John's expression remained unchanged, but a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. He is not a fool, although the Grand Knight of Astor said that this thing is not a battleship, and it does not look like a battleship, but Lieutenant General John knows that the appearance of this "battleship" has made the country of the Holy Religion a big trouble for them!
Because the Holy Religion has solved a very important problem, and that is the logistical supply of the long-distance fleet!!
As the commander of the Flame Nation's Seventh Fleet, which controls most of the Endless Sea, Vice Admiral John understands the importance of logistical supplies, and even they can only ensure the supply of the ocean-going fleet by building docks and berths within the existing civilized areas.
But a "supply ship" that can be moved at any time and can be used to moor a magic warship is completely different! Even if it's not fast, being able to move means that the Holy Cult can moor this "supply ship" anywhere! There is no need to be limited by the scope of supply like them, and in this way, the whereabouts of the fleet of the Holy Sect Country will be even more difficult to grasp!
Damn it, those bastard mages of the Land of Wizards......... I knew they weren't easy to deal with!
But.........
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in Lieutenant General John's eyes.
In that case, let me show you the will of our Flame Nation!
