Chapter 614: Out to Sea
Like Winter's Claws, Avarosa is divided into two factions.
Ash arrived at the Gorde Pass with his main force, preparing to enter the Freljord subcontinent; And Rhodes came to Frost Harbor with his division and navy, ready to board the ship and set off.
After dividing the troops, there was no word all the way, and Rod successfully led the people to Frost Harbor.
Although the port is called a port, it is actually a port city, not only with tall and complete walls, but also with a considerable garrison.
In order to attack the Freljord subcontinent, Ash had drawn a number of garrisons, but she did not mobilize a single soldier for Frost Harbor - this was not only the capital, but also an important strategic stronghold, and if the Winterclaws wanted to land across the Golden Pass, this was the best landing base.
In the harbor of Frost Harbor, Rhodes showed Ash's arrows as tokens, and finally met the fully assembled Frost Navy.
Emmmmm…… Appalling.
Accustomed to seeing the cannon giant ships of Bilgewater, when Rhodes saw the small ship in Frost Harbor, he subconsciously frowned - that's right, Rhodes had also learned about the structure of the Frost Navy before, and had made certain psychological preparations, but when they actually met, they were still inevitably surprised.
There are a lot of ships, and it can be said that they are densely packed as far as the eye can see.
Is it just the quality of these ships......
Except for a few that seem to be okay, the others are simply rafts and canoes!
At the beginning, it was said that there were "30 large boats and 100 small boats", but after taking a closer look, Rhodes found that it was clearly "30 small boats and 100 armed fishing boats"—30 "big boats" that could hold 100 people to death, and more than 100 "small boats" that could sail out of the port without sinking.
Of course, the definition of size is different, so Rhodes can accept it, but what is more troublesome is that when Rhodes carefully examines the ships, he finds that the Avarossa people do not seem to know what "maintenance" is, and almost all ships are in a state of "can be driven, but do not know how long".
At this moment, Rhodes finally understood why when he said that he would lead the Frost Navy to deal with the wolf ship fleet, Ash's face was full of desire and stopped.
彳亍口巴......
Looks like I'm going to have to work harder.
……………………
After realizing the unreliability of the Frost Navy, Rhodes had to do some necessary training before officially going to sea.
This includes, but is not limited to, issues such as flag language, ship coordination, sail manoeuvring, sailors' guidelines – you read that right, for these "navies", flag language is something that needs to be learned.
As for how they cooperated before......
By roaring, of course.
彳亍口巴......
Realizing that there was still a lot of training he needed, Rhodes decisively sent Olaf as a messenger to inform Ash not to worry, and by the way, tell Olaf to follow Ash - although theoretically, Tydamir is reliable when facing Sejuani, but is it prepared?
After Olaf left, Rhodes began a long journey of training.
Rhodes could not sail or sail, but he was well aware of the rules of naval warfare—in Kul Tiras, Dahlin had always trained him as a son-in-law, teaching him the skills of naval command and training.
Of course, Rod, who is not sensitive to Gianna, naturally escapes if he can, although Dai Lin completely entered the identity of his father-in-law, but when Rod did not appreciate it, he failed to promote this family affair after all.
With the help of a favor, Dahlin "warmly invited" Rod to stay in Kul Tiras for a year, and during his year at Kul Tiras, Rod's biggest gain was the super magic expertise of multiple spells.
But as a spellcaster, Rhodes is blessed with arcane wisdom - although he didn't learn it by heart, he memorized a whole set of rules about the navy, and now he just uses them.
Although this is a bit of a paper war, no matter how much it is on paper, it is better than no rules, and there is no such thing as beating the master to death in war.
In this way, under the command of Rhodes, the Frost Navy completed the maintenance of the basic ships and left the port to start intensive training near the Frost Harbor.
……………………
The so-called "sharpening knives and not chopping wood", after realizing that the Frost Navy still needs training, Rhodes is not in a hurry at all - anyway, Ash will not take the initiative to attack before receiving his news, and it is only early summer, as long as the training is completed before autumn.
But on the other side of the strait, Kadrew was in a hurry.
Armed with the flail of the north wind, Kadrew kept an eye on the movements of the Frost Harbor navy.
The Freljord people like to domesticate birds as battle partners, and as the commander of the wolf ship fleet, Kadru domesticated a glacier harrier eagle, this glacier harrier eagle is not large, but it is good at long-distance flight, it is the eye of Kadru on the sea, and because this is the habitat of the glacier harrier eagle, when this glacier harrier eagle approached the frost fleet, no one including Rhodes found it.
Rhodes' every move is under the watchful eye of the Glacier Harrier Eagle - although the Glacier Harrier Eagle can't speak and is not as humane as Warlo, it has been trained by Cardru to hunt after spotting the Frost Fleet and then return at full speed.
The Glacier Harrier Eagle eats much more than ordinary birds, and because it is in the polar region, the sea will freeze in winter, so the Glacier Harrier Eagle can only barely fly after eating a large amount of food in a short period of time, and in this case, Kadru can roughly judge the location of the Frost Fleet based on the weight of the Glacier Harrier Eagle when it returns and the direction of its return - although the relative error is very large, it is difficult to judge the size of the fleet, but compared to the original Freljord Navy, this is definitely a black technology.
It's almost an "ultra-long-range bird power radar".
When Rhodes first left to lead the Frost Navy out of port, Kadru was thrilled to find that the returning Glacier Harrier Eagle had become heavier - he immediately ordered the fleet of wolf ships to set sail and be ready for battle.
And then...... Rhodes began training offshore.
Three times, over a period of more than ten days, when the glacier harrier eagle returned, the direction of return and body weight were almost exactly the same.
According to Cardru's judgment, the Frost fleet did leave the port, but not too far, and could only be regarded as a long-distance patrol, which made him very embarrassed.
The Harrier Eagle is still eating and flying, and after digesting it, it eats and flies, and Kadru's conclusion has always been that "the frost fleet is moving in a small area".
During this period, Kadrew did not suspect that the Frost Fleet had been divided, so he sent a small boat to investigate according to the information of the Glacier Harrier Eagle, and the result was that all the ships were together, and they were always not far from Frost Harbor.
Just then, Sejuani sent an emissary and began to urge Kadru to make a move - Ash's main force had reached the Golden Pass and sent a small force of scouts to explore, and Sejuani needed naval intervention.
So, Kadru decided to take the initiative to go out and do something.
Do you like to wander around Frost Harbor?
Then I'll land and attack in another place and force you to come out and fight me!
