On Elf Bay, three demon warships flying rabbit claw flags broke the waves.

On one of the ships, Green was sitting in the dining room, waiting for Epova's new cuisine.

"I tried to extract the magic from the food, as you said, master, and made this ......," Epova lifted the lid with an uneasy look on her face.

A green drink with a black glow that gives it an ominous feeling.

Green looked at the black drink in front of him and blinked: "Drink? Feeling a weird-colored drink? ”

"When it comes to purifying the magic in food, I've only thought of this method." Epova also seemed a little uneasy about this kind of food, "I deliberately chose some ingredients with high magic content, and then absorbed the magic in them through siphon spells, and then concentrated them, and then formed these in front of me. ”

Green picked up his drink and took a sip. The magic juice filled his body, and the magic made Green feel shocked, but the taste was a little subtle......

"It feels like you're drinking vegetable juice." Grimm paused, "But the taste reminds me of the dark dishes of the past. ”

"Hmm...... The method of this cooking is somewhat similar to the previous magic cooking. ”

"That's not the kind of food in that store." Green shook his head, "Not only is their food high in magic, but it also tastes great, completely retaining the deliciousness of the food itself. And you can't eat the taste of the food itself. ”

"I'm sorry, master." Apova looked apologetic.

"It's okay, when you get to your destination, you can try the food from that store. I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I've said after tasting it. ”

"Yes, master."

Although he was not satisfied with the taste, Green still drank the drink in front of him in the spirit of "not wasting" mentality. Although the taste is not very good, the nutrition is good.

And just then, a short-haired girl in a white navy uniform walked into the cabin.

"Your Majesty, we've met an elven patrol ship." The navy girl had short and neat ear-length hair, and her purple-red pupils were cold.

"Elves?" Green blinked, thought for a moment, picked up the towel on the table, wiped his mouth, "Will there be a conflict?" ”

The navy girl's expression was a little subtle: "I don't know. Although the island we are going to belongs to us in name, the United Kingdom of the East does not recognize our territorial rights to that island. Therefore, it is really difficult to predict what will happen after the two fleets meet in this sea area. ”

The demarcation of borders is a troublesome matter. Although the Mona Kingdom overthrew the Kingdom of Northbold and occupied most of the territory of the Kingdom of Northbod, there are still some opposition forces that do not agree with the rule of the Kingdom of Mona, and many countries have governments in exile that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Northbod. At the same time, there is a great deal of controversy over the territorial scope of the Mona Kingdom - especially those remote areas that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Northbod, but were not fully occupied by the Kingdom of Mona when the Kingdom of Northbod fell.

One of the islands that Green is going to now is a border island that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Northbod.

Although Green wanted to say "since ancient times", the Mona Kingdom was not the "successor" of the Northborn Kingdom in legal terms, so the Mona Kingdom did not recognize the Mona Kingdom's territorial ownership of the entire territory of the Northborn Kingdom to all countries in the world. The Eastern United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Northbod already had a territorial dispute, although the dispute over the border was shelved because of the more cooperation between the two sides, but the dispute did not disappear, and after the Kingdom of Mona replaced the Kingdom of Northboy, this dispute became even bigger.

One of the islands that Green is going to now is a "disputed" nameless island.

There were no monster lairs found near that island, so there was no way for the demons to place heavy troops there. At the same time, because the island is too small, if you don't spend a lot of money to build a fortress, you can't withstand the bombardment of battleship guns, and neither the elves nor the demons are willing to spend a lot of money to build a fortress on this "useless" remote island, so the island is completely abandoned - instead of spending a lot of money to build a fortress on an island that is destined to be conquered, it is better to build a few more warships.

"Border territorial disputes...... Green couldn't help but feel a little headache, "When you used to patrol, how did you deal with elven warships?" ”

The navy girl was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke, "We will test each other's strength." If the battle will cause heavy losses, choose to save strength. ”

The simple hand is to meet and say hello to each other, and then go back to their respective homes, right?

Green thought for a moment, "Just do what you used to." Don't do anything superfluous to avoid being seen by the other person that I am on the boat. ”

Although Green sees himself as a "mascot", others don't see it that way. If you let those elves know that they are in this sea, it is hard to guarantee that they will not have some special thoughts. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Green did not want to expose himself.

After hearing Green's words, the Navy Maiden saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

The navy maiden saluted and left.

Green, on the other hand, left the dining room and went to the upper deck, holding binoculars and observing the situation at sea.

Not far away, on the sea, an elven rowing warship was cruising on the sea, facing the sailboat on Grimm's side across the sea.

The elves use paddle sailboats, which have superior speed and steering ability than a normal sailboat, but require more manpower to drive. More manpower means more sailors, and it also means a lot of supplies, and more supplies means more loads and lower speeds!

Faced with these problems, the elves have adopted a simple and brutal way to solve them: they use magic to drive the oars, thus saving manpower.

The warships of the elves all have magic-driven acceleration devices, although they usually rely mainly on sails to accelerate, but once they enter the combat link, they will turn on the magic acceleration. Therefore, although the elven warships have very average ocean-going capabilities, they have extremely excellent steering and acceleration capabilities in battle, and are the most advanced naval battleships in the world - the cost is also the most "advanced" in the world.

Not only are the battleships advanced, but the elven warships are equipped with the traditional "dragon slaying ballista" in addition to the latest magic cannon - as a traditional magic power, the elven archmages somewhat despise the power of the magic cannon, but this does not prevent them from introducing this "affordable war weapon" to enhance the combat effectiveness of the navy, after all, the price of the dragon slaying ballista is a bit unbearable even for the elves.

The ships of both sides confronted each other and kept a restrained distance from each other, cruising outside the range of each other's weapons. The demon battleships had an advantage in numbers, but the elven battleships had an advantage in equipment, so both sides did not fire impulsively, but constantly began to circle around.

"What are they doing here?" Green couldn't help but ask the deputy captain who was accompanying him. The captain was in command of the fleet, so Green was left with only one co-captain by his side.

'They're trying to find a point of attack and we're trying to get close to them.' The co-captain spoke slowly.

The moment the two sides met, the elven battleship quickly seized the upper hand with the acceleration ability of the oar, and the three warships of the demon clan were trying to get close to them.

Green observed the battlefield: "When will those elves attack?" ”

"The elves' warships are equipped with dragon-slaying ballistas, once they find a suitable point of attack and aim the dragon-slaying ballistas at our ship, then it only takes one shot to penetrate all three of our warships!"

Green raised his eyebrows: "Our sailboat is so big, even if it is penetrated, it may not sink." The shells of the dragon-slaying ballista are not cheap. If they fail to sink our ships with a single shot, they will be in ruins. ”

The Dragon Slayer Ballista is a weapon with a long range, high accuracy, and strong penetrating power, and its effective range is ten times that of the Magic Guide Cannon! If it weren't for the outrageous price, it is estimated that there would be nothing wrong with the magic guide cannon.

The price of a dragon-slaying ballista is outrageously high, and the price of a single bolt can buy a battleship. Moreover, wooden sailing ships are no better than steel warships, and even if they are pierced by a single cannon, they will not necessarily sink, so the dragon slayer cannon is not necessarily better than the magic guide cannon in naval warfare - if you can't sink more than two battleships with one shell, you will lose money.

"Yes. So they only fire the Dragon Slayer Ballista at certain times. We have three ships, and in terms of the power of the magic cannons, we have the advantage, so if they can't find a suitable position for the attack before entering the engagement range of the magic cannons, then they will retreat. ”

Green raised his eyebrows: "I see." ”

Green continued to observe the naval battle in front of him.
