"These feather clans are really like aircraft carriers on aircraft carriers." Lu Cheng looked at the Yu clan who was gradually flying away, "It's just that this load capacity is too poor, at most it can be regarded as a reconnaissance plane." ”

"What carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft?" Leah next to her tinkered with the magic array in front of her, "By the way, Lord Lord, do you really want me to attack this time?" ”

Lu Cheng looked at the complex magic array in front of Liya and was dizzy: "Don't use it for the time being, you are an ace, if you expose the other party too early, you will take precautions, so let's make a move at a more critical time." ”

"It's really boring, so what are you bringing me here for?" Leah put away the magic circle and poked her lips.

Lu Cheng smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, you will know when the time comes." ”

Liya glanced at Lu Cheng: "Okay, I'll believe you once, but if I'm not in the territory, Alice's research plan will have to stop." ”

Lu Cheng asked suspiciously: "What have you been studying recently, I didn't have time to ask you when I just came back, is it still about improving the Galen-class battleship?" ”

Liya looked at Lu Cheng with disdain: "Lord Lord, don't you forget, isn't there a relic of the Iron Hammer Dwarf Kingdom in the west of our territory?" Didn't you tell me before, find time to study it. Then you didn't come back for more than half a month, and we didn't have anything to do, so we went to the ruins. Well, we brought Jona with us, and we found a draft of a large armed merchant ship in the ruins, and we're working on how to turn it into a drawing. ”

"Large armed merchant ships?" Lu Cheng frowned, "What about tonnage?" ”

Leah took a breath and said slowly, "There should be 2,500 tons." ”

Lu Cheng: "What? 2500 tons! If you are armed with merchant ships, that is to say, if you have weapons, can you beat the Galen class? ”

Liya hurriedly waved her hand: "Alas! Don't get excited, we're just estimating based on size, and it's possible to exceed this tonnage, or it may be slightly less. As for weapons, there are no marks on the sketch, but depending on the size, it is easy to load 30 cannons. ”

30 cannons, that's the level of a mid-level battleship!

Lu Cheng chatted with Liya a little bit about the situation of this large merchant ship that was still in the sketch stage, and then looked around, but didn't see anyone, so he asked: "Strange, didn't Chiyan get on the ship together, why didn't she see where she went for half a day, and she didn't find it when she sent someone to look for it, where did she hide on such a big ship?" ”

Leah pointed ahead, "My lord, don't sigh at this, we are about to enter the enemy's formation." ”

One Galen-class and four Calais-class battleships on the right and four Calais-class battleships on the left flanked the fleet led by Galava under continuous artillery fire.

"In the era of sails, the conventional way of fighting was to line up and fire at the enemy, but this could only bring out the power of one side of the artillery, so if you want to double the attack power, you must let both sides of the artillery work." Lu Cheng pulled out the dwarven flame sword, "Send a signal, launch an attack!" ”

Boom boom boom~

Galava was shocked to see the fleet led by Lu Cheng rushing into his group of ships without dodging, firing continuously. He tried to dodge, but the other party was in a tailwind state, with more speed and mobility, and kept biting the cross course with the fleet he led, so the evasion efforts were all in vain.

At this time, the opponent did not turn sideways to fight with his battleships as he imagined, but inserted horizontally at a vertical angle. into his fleet, and then both sides of the artillery simultaneously fired.

"Damn! How so, who the hell is the enemy! Galava angrily slammed his fist on the railing, "Pass my order, small gunboats maneuver to entangle the enemy, Kirk-class keep a distance and continue to attack!" ”

"My lord, there is someone in the sky!" Just as Galava was busy giving orders, the guards beside him suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted.

"Huh?" Galava looked at the sky suspiciously, and several large birds were hovering over the head of his fleet at an altitude of more than 100 meters.

Wrong! Not a bird!

Garava took out his binoculars and found that these so-called "big birds" were not birds, but strange creatures with human bodies and a pair of wings.

"Is this an angel?" Galava looked in amazement at the creatures in the sky that fluttered their wings as if they were looking for something.

"My lord, it's the Feather Clan, not an angel." The subordinate hurriedly replied that the Feather Clan were all small-sized creatures, and the angels were large-sized creatures that were easy to identify.

Rumble~

The guns on both sides of the Galen-class battleship fired a salvo, and the two small battleships of several tens of tons in the front row were hit by dozens of shells at a distance of more than 100 meters, one of which even had the main mast flying, while the other was even less lucky, several water drifting bombs scuttled through the waterline, and a large amount of seawater poured into the cabin, and it quickly capsized.

The Calais-class battleships that followed behind the Galen-class also did the same, and the guns on both sides found their targets, and dozens of shells hit the nearest four small gunboats into holes, completely losing their combat effectiveness. The other 4 Calais-class ships were more painful, not as thick as the improved Galen-class battleships, and the close-range counterattack of the group of small gunboats was also full of damage when it hit the ship.

Under Galava's order, the small gunboats gradually dispersed in formation, no longer as dense as at the beginning, and this also meant that Lu Cheng's battleships had to enter the stage of tug-of-war.

"Leave these small gunboats alone and rush to the larger ones ahead." Lu Cheng's target was not a small gunboat that was fighting at a distance of several hundred meters, but a Kirk-class battleship that kept firing at a distance from a relative distance.

Galava planned to use these small gunboats that were constantly harassing and maneuvering around him to drag Lu Cheng, and the 12 Kirk-class battleships were responsible for the firepower output, but apparently Lu Cheng would not let him get his way.

The Galen class and the 2 Calais classes quickly broke away from the wargroup and headed towards the 12 Kirk-class, with 64 guns on both sides against 96, but in terms of momentum, the former was superior.

"Fire!" Galava roared.

The 12 Kirk-class battleships that had just been loaded with shells all turned their hulls, and a salvo that lasted for more than ten seconds rumbled, and 48 shells hit the flagship at Lu Cheng's feet along a fan-shaped attack surface.

呯~呯~

The Galen-class battleships were covered with debris of wooden timber without armor covering, and the main material of the battleships was still structurally stronger than ordinary ships, and most of the shells ran out of kinetic energy after gouging through the ship's side, causing no further damage. And those shells that hit the armor or had a copper lining either crashed or got stuck.

At this moment, Li Tiezhu excitedly shouted: "My lord, the Yu Clan has found the enemy's flagship!" ”

Lu Cheng fixed his eyes and saw that the girls of the Feather Clan were no longer flying around, but all concentrated in the sky above a Kirk-class battleship, which was the signal after discovering the enemy's flagship in the agreement.

"Ding Chuan, target the enemy's flagship, full speed ahead!" Lu Cheng looked at Liya who was stacking a magic shield in front of him, "Liya, you just said that you can use wind magic to speed up the battleship?" ”

"Ahh Leah said mischievously.

"Come on...... Let's try the results. Lu Cheng was almost taken crooked.

Leah raised her staff and chanted, "O blue wind elf,......"

Lu Cheng was surprised to see Liya raise the staff, and the spar on the top lit up at the moment of chanting, and then the spar on the staff formed a light blue six-pointed star pattern in mid-air like a paintbrush, and with Liya's chanting, the six-pointed star pattern slowly rotated, and the light became more and more intense.

“...... Obey my call - Tempest! ”

The six-pointed star suddenly expanded several times, and the wind erupted in the rapid rotation, and the sails on the mast suddenly rose under the strong wind, and the huge force made the battleship accelerate sharply in an instant, and this sudden acceleration made many unsuspecting people on the ship fall firmly. And Lu Cheng, who was holding on to the railing, also felt the air flow blowing in his face, and the speed of the boat was already faster than the wind speed!

"What a magic spell!" Li Tiezhu sighed, "My lord, our speed is more than a dozen knots!" ”

"If it weren't for the fear that the sails wouldn't be able to hold up, Miss Ben would have wanted to perform more powerful magic." Riya, who was constantly inputting mana maintenance spells, didn't forget to snort, "In addition, I have to remind you to hold on for a maximum of 3 minutes, otherwise such a violent wind will easily damage the ship." ”

"Three minutes is enough." Lu Cheng could see the enemy's flagship in the telescope, and someone on the flagship happened to be looking over with a telescope, and Lu Cheng could even distinguish a surprised expression from the other party's face.

Actually, I'm quite surprised that you dare to attack my brother's transport ship, and today I see that I don't beat you halfway!

Boom boom boom~

Several players on the Kirk-class battleship panicked when they saw the Galen-class battleship rushing towards it, they had never seen a ship with such speed, and it was such a big ship, it was just against the sky!

In the panic, without waiting for Galava's order, these battleships opened fire one after another, and the formation immediately became chaotic, and all the battleships desperately avoided the direction of the Galen-class charge, so as not to be the first to suffer. Thousand-ton warships, let alone big, are enough for their boats to drink a pot of waves.

"Bastard, let these guys stop running around!" Galava, who was still planning to use kite tactics to kill the opponent, scolded angrily. It may be willing to let these teammates who know people and don't know their hearts use the small gunboats in their hands to send them to death, but once the other party uses the main force to fill the pit, they will immediately be separated from Germany, and they will scatter one after another, leaving only the 6 Kirk-class ships in Galava's hands still in formation.

The distance between the two sides soon approached more than a hundred meters, and the target was the 4th battleship!

"Which bastard is driving the boat!"

Just as Lu Cheng was about to attack, the door of the cabin was kicked open, and Chi Yan walked out with his left hand covering his forehead: "The old lady is resting and recruiting who to provoke!" ”
