Lyubov patiently listened to Kun Tiliang's generous statement, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are not unclear about the situation of the Bend Alliance, where is it so easy to gather the resources of the various city-states to fight against the Giant Demon Island, not to mention that there are three of the city-states that have already defected to the pirate side, not to mention that they want to send troops and ships, thank God if you don't pull me back, as for the armed merchant ships of Baiou Harbor...... This is not something that can be done in a short time, the contradictions caused by the airship company have not been completely resolved, and most of the shipowners are openly and secretly dissatisfied with me, and from the beginning they are not in favor of starting a war with pirates, and it is too difficult to count on their support.

Roland listened to the argument between Lyubov and Kun Tiliang, and was also thinking about a solution to the current predicament. The ideal situation is, of course, to intercept the Maximian fleet before it escapes back to the Giant Demon Island, and directly destroy it at sea, but the White Gull Harbor fleet has been thrown nearly a hundred nautical miles away by the pirate fleet, and there is no obvious difference in the speed of the main warships of the two sides, how can they catch up with the enemy before dark?

After pondering for a long time, Roland finally broke the silence.

"Lyuba, Mr. Kuntiliang, I'll tell you the truth, if we want to catch up with the Maximian flagship before dark, we can only hope for two variables."

"Tell me about those two points." Lyubov cast an expectant gaze.

"First of all, the weather factor, if the wind suddenly changes direction and the pirate fleet is trapped in a raging storm, we have a chance to catch up!"

Lyubov muttered: "I have also thought of this, and I have also prepared some magic spells to change the weather and wind direction, the problem is that the scope of influence of these spells is limited, I have to chase the pirate fleet before I can cast a spell to trap them, you see, the problem is back to the beginning?" ”

Roland smiled and continued, "If you expect to chase down the pirate fleet with the warships below, there is really not much hope, but why do we have to follow the fleet?" Think about it, where are you at the moment? ”

Lyubov's eyes flashed: "Airship! That's right, an airship can sail at full speed five times faster than a battleship! We can hunt down the pirate fleet directly on an airship! ”

"Wait!" Kun Tiliang raised his hand to interrupt her, "Only rely on this airship to catch up single-handedly, what can you do against the pirate fleet, bombs?" Even if all the bombs are dropped, it is still doubtful whether the 'Sea Palace' can be blown up, and as for Lady Lyubov casting a spell calling for a typhoon to trap the pirate fleet, this idea sounds good but is actually difficult to implement, after all, Maximian is a Fermore priest with powerful mana, and if you can summon the wind and rain, he can dispel the wind and rain, and he may not be able to take advantage of anything. ”

Roland shook his head and chuckled, "Mr. Kuntiliang, you don't know enough about the strategic significance of the 'Dawn', whether it is the airship dropping bombs, or Liuba casting spells to manipulate the weather, they are just means to cause trouble for the pirate fleet and cover up people's ears, and our real big killer is in the bilge-"

Roland pointed to the floor under his feet, "Six new mechanical armors, with a speed of more than 50 knots, equipped with a 2-pound magic crystal rapid-fire cannon, a large pearl steel saber, a power drill, a power pickaxe and other full sets of submarine combat equipment, this is the real trump card for us to overturn the 'sea palace'!" ”

Kun Tiliang gasped when he heard this, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. It's not that he doesn't understand, it's that the world is changing too fast.

"Is the new mechanical armor really as powerful as you say?" Not only Kun Tiliang, but even Lyubov was deeply skeptical about this.

Roland was about to speak, when the alarm sounded in the overhead channel, and then Jennifer's voice was heard.

"Attention the whole ship! The enemy light cruiser 'Ichthyosaurus' has been spotted, and all the combatants are in place! ”

Roland walked quickly to the porthole and looked down, and saw a ship in the distance with billowing black smoke struggling to sail through the waves, it was the ichthyosaurus ship that had escaped with injuries. Because it was accidentally hit by the angle of attack of its own flagship, it was too heavily injured and its speed plummeted, unable to keep up with the large army, and was forced to fall last.

"Liuba, Mr. Kun Tiliang, I'll miss you first, whether the new mechanical armor is reliable or not, you can see it with your own eyes right away." Roland smiled slightly, turned and walked briskly out of the briefing room, taking the elevator to the bilge mech Gnaku.

"Bearing 30!"

"20 nautical miles away!"

"Confirm the enemy ship 'Canglong', the speed is 15 knots!"

Roland stepped out of the elevator and saw Zehir shouting loudly with his hands on his hips, urging the support staff to reload the Giant Eagle.

"Zehir, is the Eagle Regiment ready to attack?" Roland stopped by to say hello.

Zehir gave him a thumbs up and said confidently, "Two rounds of bombing at most, and I promise to send that straggle pirate ship to the bottom of the sea to accompany the turtle." ”

"Then you have to refuel, maybe before the Giant Eagle completes two rounds of bombardment, the Canglong will be sunk by the submarine team." Roland replied with a smile.

"Submarines?" Flannis cast a curious look, "Mr. Roland is talking about those new mechanical armors in the hangar next door?" ”

"That's right, those six Yangbo mechs are the 'Dawn' carrier-based submarine fleet, and there is currently a shortage of professional pilots on board, so I and a few friends will make a temporary cameo."

"So Mr. Roland is going to attack in person? Wouldn't that be too ......" Flannis hesitated for a moment and swallowed the word "reckless" back, "Wouldn't it be too risky?" ”

"There's no way, the airship is full of fights, and the six of us have experience in piloting new mechanical armor, the battle situation is urgent, who are we not going to go?" Roland looked at Flannis's size, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Flannis, you're a ranger, right?" ”

Flannis nodded, "Mr. Roland has something to say." ”

Level 11 Half-Elf Ranger, medium stature, sturdy and strong, outstanding in strength, agility and physique, rich experience in riding giant eagles, all-round combat in land, sea and air, and especially proficient in archery...... The more Roland looked at it, the more satisfied he became, "Flannis, in the future, the affairs of the air team will be handed over to your sister, how about I arrange a new errand for you?" ”

"Mr. Roland wants me to switch to mechanical armor?" Flannis had a nimble mind and immediately guessed what he meant.

Roland nodded, "I ordered a batch of new mechanical armor from Morozov, although I don't have the money to pay for it yet...... Ahem, but there will always be money, and in the future, I plan to set up an armored knight regiment modeled after the Baigull Port Coast Guard, if you are interested, help me get this thing done. ”

Flannis never expected that Roland would be so important to him after meeting him twice, and he was deeply flattered, and immediately patted his chest and assured Roland: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to build the Knights of Arnier into an elite army for you!" ”
