Chapter 577: The Pirate's Strategy
Magnus, the Immortal King, did not expect that the Rigner pirates, who were secretly negotiating with his country, had already obtained Bracada's airship technology through Chen Jian, and if he knew about it, he was afraid that he would not show off his powerful force and force the pirates to bow their heads at the negotiating table, and show the airship to the envoys sent by the pirates.
Although this kind of display does not include the internal facilities of the flying ship, but only allows the other party to watch the majestic posture of the flying ship in the sky from a distance in a designated place, but for the Richner pirates, who have the ability to imitate the air battleship, this kind of display is enough for them to see a lot of problems and get a lot of inspiration.
Katarina suddenly felt at this time that in fact, Chen Jian was not as picky as she imagined, because she found that the air battleship that Chen Jian gave him was not only similar to Bracada's flying ship in appearance, but also did not have much difference in performance, such as speed and steering.
This gave Katarina a lot of confidence in the technology she had.
The pirate princess thought very clearly, even as the birthplace of the technology of air warships, the flying ships owned by Bracada are only like this in terms of performance, then the air warships in Chen Jian's hands are not much stronger, so that the technology owned by the pirates still has a considerable advantage, and the shipbuilding speed of the pirates is incomparable to Bracada and Chen Jian, that is to say, in a certain period of time, if you want to fight the air warships at sea, the Rigner pirates still have a considerable chance of winning.
The pirate princess was even thinking that if the combat strength of the Bracada Navy was speculated, it seemed that the naval strength of the alliance was not much stronger, and if there was a way to deal with the alliance's black dragon tactics, then even if she immediately turned her face with the alliance at sea, it was not impossible, she was really a little reluctant to that fat golden sea area.
These discoveries made the pirate princess feel very good, but she couldn't enter the interior of the Bracada airship to visit, she didn't realize that even the Bracada airship was far more concise in operation than the pirates' air warships that were manipulated by Jian Chen, and she didn't realize that the air warship technology owned by the alliance was far more advanced than Bracada due to the guidance of Chen Jian, a visitor from the earth, and under the control of Chen Jian, who had mastered a lot of resources from Negan and Baierdes and attached importance to air superiority, The speed of shipbuilding in the alliance is also much faster than she imagined.
So she happily boarded a Bracada Navy warship and set sail with the menacing Bracada Navy, ready to see up close how the magicians fought the Alliance's fleet in the world's first ever naval battle with an aerial battleship.
Her arrival made the battleship of Bracada's fleet as lively as a festivities, except for the Naga, except for the mages who had no one in their eyes, there were no female soldiers in Bracada's navy.
Now a woman with a thousand charms and a beautiful face suddenly came to the ship, and suddenly made this place full of the smell of male hormones agitated, and the male magicians and human soldiers who accompanied the ship were as excited as if they had taken stimulants, and the soldiers worked extremely the ship, and the magicians also showed off their skills from time to time, in order to make this elegant and easy-going beauty look at herself more.
Katrik, the young supreme commander of the fleet, also lost sleep, and Katarina's beauty and elegance amazed the commander, who was still single, and the commander was not a young man who had never seen a woman, but he never imagined that among the notorious Rigner pirates, there would be such a stunning and aristocratic woman, who combined beauty and intelligence.
Such a woman should be dressed in costume, haunt the drinking parties and balls of the nobles, and not go out to the sea to endure the storms and waves, and should not mingle with the vulgar and barbaric pirates who take pleasure in robbery.
With this in mind, Cattrick moved his headquarters on a flying ship back to the ordinary warship, using it as his flagship, in the name of keeping an eye on the pirate messenger nearby.
To the young commander's delight, Miss Catarina also seemed to have a good impression of him, always smiling at him, and if he didn't remember the identity of the other party, he was always subconsciously a little wary and guarded, so that he would not be completely lost in the beauty of the other party, maybe the commander would soon propose to the other party.
Of course, this situation is what Catarina is happy to see, the pirate princess has long been accustomed to using her beauty to achieve certain goals she wants, she has absolute confidence in her beauty, in fact, she has tried this trick repeatedly for many years, that is, it was in Jian Chen, she failed once.
This made Katarina happy that she could get a lot of useful information from Katrick and the Bracada magicians and soldiers on the battleship without a trace, and at the same time, the anger in her heart towards Chen Jian was also increasing day by day, she had never been so worried about a person, she was so eager to defeat Chen Jian, even if she couldn't, she hoped to create some trouble for Chen Jian, in short, she didn't want Chen Jian to have a good time.
She wanted Jian Chen to know that it was quite a wrong thing to provoke her Katarina, and the consequences were quite serious.
So she couldn't wait to see the Bracada Navy defeat Jian Chen's fleet at sea, although it was not her victory, but she was happy to see Jian Chen deflated, and Jian Chen's setback at sea also meant that the pirates had a chance to regain their huge interests in the southern waters of the mainland, without worrying about the bad consequences of fighting with Jian Chen.
"I don't know how strong Jian Chen's fleet is, but based on the experience of fighting with Jian Chen's fleet in the past, I think that the Bracada Naval Fleet is fully capable of defeating Jian Chen's fleet!"
In a letter to her father, the Emperor of the Endless Sea Empire, Katarina wrote this, and she didn't notice that where the word Alliance should have been used, she always unconsciously wrote it as Jian Chen, for example, the Alliance Fleet, which she would write as Jian Chen's fleet.
"According to my analysis, the reason why Chen Jian's fleet is strong is that they have the ability to carry the black dragon immune to magic to the sea to fight, and the amazing maneuverability of his strange battleship without sails. But this tactic is not without a solution, our fiasco in the Crescent Moon Strait is not because Jian Chen's fleet is too strong, but because Jian Chen cunningly used the Black Dragon Cluster to raid us from the shore! ”
"And our defeat in Negan has nothing to do with whether Jian Chen's fleet is strong or not, we really don't have much advantage on the shore, and he has an artifact in his hand, and he is inexplicably unanimously supported by the Negans, coupled with the appearance of the air warship, so we have to give up Negan under the trade-off! However, now it seems that we have overestimated Jian Chen's ability to use air warships, because even the Bracada Mage Kingdom, the founding country of air warships, has not had more than double digits in the number of air warships they have so far, that is, what they call flying ships, and Chen Jian's technology is still snatched from the Bracada people, and he has just gained a foothold in Negan, so he should not have the ability to manufacture and equip air warships in large quantities, I even have a little doubt, Whether Chen Jian really has the ability to make an air warship now, maybe he just played a trick, using the air warship that he knew was not very powerful when used alone, in exchange for our retreat without a fight and cede that golden sea area, if this guess is correct, then we have been tricked by him solidly! ”
"I am looking forward to the confrontation between Jian Chen's fleet and the naval fleet of Bracada, and I am sure that through my own experience of this battle, I will be able to fully understand what kind of strength Jian Chen has at sea, and as long as he is not as strong as we thought, then our main fleet of the Empire will return to the Golden Sea with my wrath. Of course, father, you can rest assured, although I am in danger, I have already made all the arrangements, if Chen Jian's fleet is indeed strong, and the Bracada navy is invincible, I have my own way to get out, I have the ship with me, and the magicians of Bracada know nothing about it. ”
"The magicians seem to have put a lot of thought into it this time, they have also fought with Jian Chen at sea, maybe in places we don't know, there have been more fierce confrontations, they have long prepared for the tactics that Jian Chen may use, for this reason, their navy is now based on air warships as the core, reorganized, which has a large number of flying troops, if I am not mistaken, the magicians want to use air superiority to suppress the opponent, this idea is very good, it is similar to what I thought, compared to our imperial fleet, The fleet of magicians has an advantage in this tactic, because they have a large number of gargoyles, gods, and even more powerful magicians and magic wands than us, in the face of the numerical superiority, I think Chen Jian's black dragon should be inactive, and I am worried that if the magicians start to pay attention to the ocean, we will face another powerful opponent in the future, it seems that we must invest more manpower and material resources to speed up the development of air warships! Time is of the essence! ”
"Speaking of the magicians of Bracada, I'm angry in my heart, it's all a bunch of self-righteous and nobody-eyed guys, and one day I'll give them some color to see! They have another purpose for this negotiation, I got the news that they have a fleet in the western waters of the mainland, it seems that they are either going to Krurod or going to Tytalia to carry out some secret plan, maybe they started this negotiation because they were afraid of being embarrassed by us at sea, in order to ensure the unimpeded passage of their fleet at sea through negotiations, I have to say, their plan is indeed very good, but I did not debunk their ideas, I still want to stay in Bracada for a while, Let's see if we can make more benefits for the empire from here, and there is no need to fight with the magicians now, as for the magicians going to Krurod or Tytalia, it will have no impact on us, just let them go, anyway, the more chaotic the Erathia continent is, the better, maybe we will have some opportunities in the future! But if the magicians lose this battle on the sea, and Jian Chen proves his strength at sea, I don't mind secretly relaying the news to Jian Chen, so as to strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two sides! ”
