Chapter 349: Night Attack on the North American Fleet
After Lao Jiu withdrew from the Mongol Empire, he also specially inquired about Zhao Yongsheng about the alliance between South America and North America. The current South American Alliance fleet has already met with the welcome fleet on the side of the Sunset Empire, and will soon arrive at the Sunset Empire.
And the North American Alliance fleet, after the annihilation of the sea group, also temporarily transported 500,000 elite soldiers through the teleportation array. Today, Harlem Island has been made the most important military port in Asia by the North American Alliance.
In addition, with the strong financial support of the Russian Empire, the North American Alliance has now established a fleet of more than 100 people. This can be regarded as the North American alliance, which has temporarily gained a foothold in Asian waters, and as for their next move, it is not yet clear.
For these guests who come from afar, of course Lao Jiu will take care of them. After all, letting them grow is like levitating a sharp sword above their heads, which will make Lao Jiu uneasy. Therefore, in Lao Jiu's thoughts, he had to solve them directly before they really became bigger.
After Lao Jiu returned to the Empire, the entire empire was already recruiting troops in an all-round way. And under the high salary, countless high-level NPCs have begun to participate enthusiastically. To Lao Jiu's surprise, there were more than 2 million 60-level personnel who signed up to join the army.
This was more than anyone expected. But in hindsight, this is also normal, after all, these NPCs have been growing up with the Xiaoyao Empire since the initial establishment of the Xiaoyao Empire. From cultivating wasteland to quarrying and building cities, they have achieved their current achievements by relying on their own labor.
And this is precisely the main process of the growth of ordinary NPCs. And what these people lack when they join the army is only basic training, as well as common sense of combat, and the control and application of their own strength. Lao Jiu believes that as long as these people are well trained, they will definitely become the elite of the Easy Empire!
And in addition to the NPCs of level 60, those of fifty and above directly exceeded eight million, which surprised Lao Jiu. It seems that the salary given by the Easy Empire is attractive, so that many NPCs who have jobs have directly chosen to join the army.
However, this time, the establishment of the Easy Empire is only 10 million. So many level 50 NPCs have been ruthlessly brushed down. But it is this ten million, and the lowest level of them is above fifty-five. This made Lao Jiu have to sigh: What a master in the people!
For these high-level recruits, their early task is to learn how to fight. This includes not only the use of various equipment, the cooperation between comrades-in-arms, and the perfect play of personal strength.
It also includes various professional military training, survival in war, and so on. And this will also take a short time, so Lao Jiu divided the eight main cities into eight regions, and built eight super military bases in eight directions as training places for this group of soldiers.
In addition to the army, the number of new navies this year has also exceeded 10 million. However, unlike the Army, the Navy's training bases can be found almost everywhere in the vast ocean. Based on Lao Jiu's exploration of the ocean, he found many sea areas suitable for naval training.
And these sea areas are basically the nests of some sea monsters. From low-level sea monsters to high-level sea monsters, the main areas where they are distributed, Lao Jiu has almost mastered them. And the number of sea monsters is also a hundred times that of the land monsters, or even a thousand times more.
Therefore, compared with the army, the navy is actually the fastest improving strength. They are equivalent to the army at the beginning of the game, and they will not be limited by resources at all. And with today's trend, players may need to pay attention to the sea if they want to level up in the future.
After all, the ocean in the game, like in reality, is several times larger than the land. At the same time, the number of sea monsters in the ocean is almost endless. Especially in the uncharted deep sea, which may become the last place for players to explore in the game.
Originally, the collapse of the Qilin trading base was an important blow to the economy of the Easy Empire. And the large expansion of the army has increased the burden of the Xiaoyao Empire, and in just a few months, the entire empire has become difficult.
Fortunately, this time the North American Alliance sent a thousand warships to the Empire, plus Lao Jiu's ruthless plundering of the Mongol Empire this time, as well as the slave trade, and the gold coins earned by the ** city, can barely make up for the gap in the Empire.
However, if this development continues, it is estimated that it will be unable to make ends meet next year. So before that, Lao Jiu must come up with a way to make money. Otherwise, the tens of millions of troops of the Empire of Freedom will be disbanded.
After dealing with the affairs of the army, Lao Jiu decided to go north in person and visit Harlem Island. After all, if someone else comes from afar, he doesn't want to visit him, and he doesn't want to go. Therefore, after eating and drinking enough and resting, Lao Jiu took Dumb and went directly on the road.
Harlem Island is located directly north of the Empire, more than 8,000 miles away from the Empire, and is a small island on the southeast coast of the Russian Empire. It is said to be a small island, but it also covers an area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers, and nearly half a million elite troops of the North American Alliance have been stationed on it.
The entire island of Harlem has now been turned into a barrel-like military fortress by the North American Alliance, and there are two main military ports on Harlem Island. One is due north, specifically connecting with the Russian Empire, and is trading with the Russian Empire.
And the other, just south of Harlem Island, is the gateway of the North American alliance into the vast ocean. Today's entire ocean is called the Endless Sea by players, which means endless exploration. Because the ocean is so huge, there are too many areas that players have not yet set foot in.
Dumb is equivalent to a living navigator, and there will never be any deviation in the cognition of direction. One man and one bird, when he set off from the Easy Empire, the sun had just set. By the time they reached the northernmost tip of the Empire, it was completely dark.
After checking his packing again and calculating the time, Lao Jiu set off towards Harlem Island. When Lao Jiu arrived over Harlem Island, it was already a child's time. Not to mention, from the air, the whole island of Harlem is brightly lit and looks very prosperous.
After locking on the North American Alliance's fleet, Lao Jiu let Dumb go around to the pitch-black sea in the distance. He was not stupid enough to break into someone's base camp alone, but paid attention to the fleet that the North American Alliance had worked so hard to build.
Under a beautiful low-altitude glide from Dumb, Lao Jiu jumped directly into the sea. With the strength of the two of them, in the sea area a few kilometers away from each other, they don't have to worry about being discovered by the other party at all.
After falling into the water, Lao Jiu quickly took out pieces of floating boards from the space. These things are hungry, they were all made when he and Dumb were exploring the ocean. The purpose is to build a simple landing site above the sea.
For Lao Jiu, this kind of thing can be said to be familiar with the road, and it only took less than an hour for him to put together a huge floating board of nearly 10,000 square meters. Then on the floating board, Lao Jiu immediately summoned five thousand undead cavalry.
After Lao Jiu took these eighty-level masters and all went to the sea, Dumb began to recuperate on it. With the coercion it carried, the demonic beasts in the sea area with a radius of more than ten kilometers did not dare to make any changes at all, which provided a lot of convenience for Lao Jiu and them.
With the strength of the undead cavalry level eighty, it is almost difficult to detect underwater operations if the enemy does not have a special expert to probe. And now there is Lao Jiu shielding the perception, and a group of people soon came to the fleet thousands of kilometers away.
At this time, Lao Jiu also began to officially issue tasks, with a team of fifty people and began to sneak underwater. And they have only one purpose, which is to scuttle the ship! All squads must be evacuated after scuttling the ship within the allotted time.
This is actually not any difficulty for the undead cavalry. With the weapons that Lao Jiu equipped them, almost all of them reached the level of pseudo-gods, and they were definitely able to cause serious damage to the bottom of the battleship.
Lao Jiu was in charge of a battleship alone, and although he arrived first, he was still waiting for the other personnel to take their places, and then began to act collectively. They are like a group of water ghosts, silently shuttling underwater.
With Dumb's coercion on the sea monster, Lao Jiu finally gave the order to destroy. And he directly took out the Dingqin Sword, and with the sharpness of the Dingqin Sword, he began to cut it silently under the battleship.
Unlike other squads, he relies on a large number of people, while he relies on the weapons in his hands and his own speed. With the strength of the eighty-level undead cavalry, it only takes more than a minute for each person to open two large holes in the bottom of the ship.
And fifty people add up, that's a hundred holes, which is a fatal wound for a huge battleship. Coupled with the strong water pressure, the sea water began to irrigate frantically towards the cabin, and it can be seen with the naked eye that one after another battleships began to sink slowly.
As soon as the mission is completed, all the undead cavalry begin to retreat quickly. And the remaining few battleships were all left to Lao Jiu. Then in the pitch-black sea, Lao Jiu shielded all his breath, and then swam frantically under the sea.
By the time the undead cavalry had all withdrawn, Lao Jiu had already dealt with the last few ships. At this time, the ports of the North American Union have long been in chaos. Lao Jiu, who rushed back, quickly put away the undead cavalry, and then rode Dumb and rode directly to the wind.
After Dumb circled twice, Lao Jiu threw a large number of porcelain jars filled with oil to the floating board below, and then threw down a torch, burning everything below. He didn't plan to leave too much for the North American Alliance, and as for the questions they might have, let them think about it slowly.
The sinking of a battleship with millions of gold coins in this way is undoubtedly a major blow to the North American Alliance. The successive losses of warships almost made the North American Alliance's plan for the Asian seas stillborn!
