『Chapter error, click here to report』
The small town of Pukan, the Naval Academy.
"Hey, Charlie, which ship did you apply to join after graduation?"
Charlie, who was immersed in the dormitory to check the information, looked up and saw his friend Locke. Basil's cynical smile.
"King Kong!"
Charlie seemed to be in a lack of interest, and after saying a word, he lowered his head to check the information again.
As a cadet of the first Naval Academy, the three-year student was coming to an end, and in the face of the unfamiliar warship about to set foot on the strange and familiar warship, he seized the time to memorize the information he had collected about the "King Kong", although he had already memorized the information that he had bought for 10 gold coins.
"'King Kong'?! Aren't you not a 'hunter'? ”
The 2,000-ton King Kong is a little guy in front of the 5,000-ton Hunter, but his old friend has always wanted to enter this legendary invincible-class battleship, why did he suddenly give up this time?
"It's not our new commander! It is actually required that the officers of the invincible-class battleships must have more than one year of experience in warship service! ”
"God knows, none of us elites with a new naval education are as good as those pirates who surrendered in front of him!"
Looking at the indignant Charlie, Locke comforted his friend in turn.
"But they're just ordinary sailors, and at most they can only control those thin secondary guns."
"Once you have served for one year, but you apply to be transferred to the main ship, it will not take half a year for you to control the main gun, and even you can control the 'Hunter'!"
Hearing the words "hunter", Charlie's eyes suddenly became confused.
If he first entered the Naval Officer Academy because of the mighty invincible ship, when he entered the academy for a year, his goal was refined to the point that he had to use the "Hunter" to kill him in his lifetime.
This magic cannon developed by Muli Park, which claims to be able to slay dragons, shocked four people as soon as it came out.
The split diamond-shaped barrel, which is completely different from the mainstream magic cannon, is said to have originated from the whimsy of the Morey City Lord.
And this "hunter", which is said to be able to accelerate an invisible lightning energy mass to the extreme, shortly after entering service, killed a legendary sea beast that suddenly broke into the Far Eastern route with a frontal blow, confirming that they were right.
Although it was because the sea beast underestimated the invincible ship, which was only one-tenth the size of its own body, that gave the "Hunter" enough time to recharge and accomplish what the outside world thought was absolutely impossible, but after all, it was a magic cannon that could damage and even kill legendary creatures.
When the invincible ship dragged the island-like sea beast back to the Emerald City, the whole city was in a stir.
People are singing and dancing as if they are celebrating a festival.
There are even bards who have compiled this event into new poems, and the name of the chapter is The Conquest of the Sea!
This invincible ship is also called the Hunter by the good deeds, because there are so many people that even the crew of this invincible ship has forgotten that the name of their ship is the Angry Waves.
The Naval Officer Academy, which has 3,000 cadets, was also instantly crowded with students, and even the high entrance threshold of Goude's temporary revision of the terms to raise the annual tuition fee to 100 gold coins has not been stopped, and the enthusiasm of these students for learning has not been stopped.
And when the news slowly spread to the whole world with the bards and merchants, even the Elven Continent actually had students who had crossed the ocean to study here.
And what everyone dreams of is nothing more than to personally go to the invincible ship and control the "Hunter" to kill him.
"If you want me to say, this invincible ship should be built a few more, only eight, it's not enough at all!"
Thinking of the "Hunter", Charlie thought of the number of invincible ships now, and couldn't help but routinely complain.
"That's it!"
Locke, who was on the side, nodded again and again and joined the condemnation team.
Although the "Hunter" is powerful, it is said that the manufacture of the Hunter requires the use of a valuable magic alloy, so the production has been limited, and now it has made eight doors and barely assembled eight Invincible-class main ships, the so-called one radish and one pit.
The control team of the "Hunter", counting all the operators of handling, loading, aiming, ranging, and firing, only needs 10 officers, and the Naval Military Academy in Pukan Town graduates 1,000 cadets every year.
1,000 people compete for 80 positions, you can imagine the fierceness of the competition, so even Charlie, who has always had excellent grades since entering the school, does not necessarily have the certainty of being able to control this fascinating legendary weapon.
"Still made? Not to mention that the magic alloy needed by the 'Hunter' can only barely sustain the combat consumption now, let's just say that the cost of an invincible ship equipped with the 'Hunter' is 1 million gold coins, and the maintenance cost of 100,000 gold coins in the first year and then increasing at a rate of 5% per year, how many more ships will be built? Do you pay? ”
The roommate, who had been silent on the top bunk, suddenly spoke, making this Nikkei topic suddenly full of gunpowder.
And the fast-building faction that should continue to be manufactured and the slow-building faction that insisted on doing what they could quickly spread from one dormitory to the entire student dormitory, so that these three-year old birds temporarily withdrew from this slightly sad graduation season in the fierce debate.
......
Red Leaf Castle, the castle lord's mansion.
"Boss, in order to implement your clumsy plan, I have suppressed the following soldiers for three years! It's time to build two this year! ”
Seeing Goude, who was like a resentful woman, Morey couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
This Gou De was obviously a cute money fan before, why did he force him to become Xianglin's sister-in-law, is it too cruel?
Seeing that Morey was thinking, Commander Arnold, who had managed to pull a little cavalry ration from the mouth of the navy in the past two years, was in a hurry.
"My lord, one will cost 1 million, and two will cost 2 million gold coins, we can't afford to build it!"
Hearing the cost of 2 million, Morey suddenly came to his senses.
Looking at Morey, who was gradually getting colder, Goude, who was originally secretly proud, shouted in his heart, and the conditions also dropped again and again:
"Boss, it's better to have one, or not to be a 'hunter'! As long as 500,000 gold coins, it's just a month's income in Red Leaf City! ”
"One? Not half a ship! ”
The ironclad ship without the "hunter" is just a target for hatred, and it is the best tool to vent the anger of countless sea monsters that have been damaged by the invincible ship and escaped into the deep sea over the years.
What do you do if you don't have anything to do with it?
Do you think you have a lot of money?
Seeing that Morey did not mean to retract his fate, Gou De glared at the cavalry commander with an unkind face, and the other party also glared back unceremoniously.
Just kidding, your navy is now invincible in the coastal waters, and you look like the boss and the second of you, so can you still drive the ship to the shore and fight those inland cities?
