Chapter Fifty-Eight: Elven Trouble

When he came, Gangzi had repeatedly emphasized that the time loss of the two worlds was different, and according to the time they spent on the main map, 25 years had passed in the Emerald World.

25 years is not too long for a long-lived elf, but it can't be described as short, 25 years is enough to change a lot of things. Bucknar felt a strong hostility from the elven fleet in the distance.

The posture of the "Flying Henan People" is certainly scary in the Emerald World, but the elves are a peaceful race, and they always cautiously test unknown and dangerous things first to confirm whether they are really threatening, and rarely report them with strong aggression directly.

Gangzi ordered the "Flying Henan" to stop far away, and Bucknar took a small boat to fly the white flag to the elven fleet, and in order to make the other party see clearly, he also specially tied up his hair, revealing the elves' unique pointed ears.

All the Black Sail Elves lay on the side of the "Flying Henan People" and watched Bucknar and the elven fleet in the distance, until Baknar successfully boarded the flagship of the elven fleet, and the elven battleship lowered the battle flag, and all the elves breathed a sigh of relief.

Without asking Gangzi to wait for a long time, the dinghy sent Bucknar back again, accompanied by a strange elf.

Kristol was the first to recognize the other party, and he said to Gangzi: "It's Uncle Nastrrom, he used to be the best captain in our elven kingdom, but now the best captain in the elven kingdom is my father, and he is also the best captain in the emerald world." ”

Gangzi heard the pride in Christol's tone, looking at the current situation, the misunderstanding between the two sides had been cleared up, and he said to Christol: "And the elves on this ship are also the best sailors. ”

Christol said proudly again: "Yes, we are also the best sailors. ”

"However, the way you are now is not the best sailor."

Christol looked at his body, and the elves who had been wandering the sea all year round no longer paid attention to their personal edges, and cool and convenient short coats and undershirts had become their favorite clothing. There were all sorts of hanging holes in it, and a group of elves looked like sailors more like refugees. It was rude to go to see relatives like this for the first meeting back home.

He looked at the approaching dinghy, which should have enough time, so Christol immediately beckoned all the elves to quickly get into the cabin.

When Bucknar happily pulled Nastron onto the deck of the "Flying Henan", he was greeted by a line of competing elven soldiers. They wore military uniforms specially designed for members of the Lingxiao Legion, the style of modern Western and the innovation of modern science and technology, and they wore them to show their upright figures, which stimulated the temperament of the soldiers to the fullest.

Nastron was impressed by the military might of the forest after only one glance, and he said to Bucknar, who accompanied him, "I didn't bid you farewell last time I went to sea. I didn't expect that it would be 25 years since you left, just when all our elves thought that they had lost you, you actually came back, and you were all still alive, which is no better news for our elven kingdom. This is the ship of the undead, it really scares me, it's an honor to be able to sail such a great ship. ”

Baknar said: "Our elven kingdom will have such a warship, let me introduce you, this is the captain of the 'Flying Henan People'." Admiral of the Yellow Sea Fleet of Qingzhou of the Han Empire, General Pingtao, Lord of Black Sail City, Lord of Annie County, Lord of Viscount Albatross Gangzi. ”

Gangzi stood at the front of the sailors' queue in a general's uniform and a major general's badge (General Pingtao belonged to a miscellaneous general, equivalent to a major general) and was ceremoniously introduced by Bucknar.

"Tsunako-sama. This is Claire, the fleet commander of the Elven Kingdom. Nastrom. ”

"Hello! Commander Nastrom. ”

……

An emergency was resolved peacefully, and the "Flying Henan People" restarted and sailed towards the elf harbor together, surrounded by the elven fleet.

In the captain's chamber of the "Flying Henanese", from the mouth of Nastrom. Gangzi and Bucknar knew why a three-masted galleon would be so nervous about the elven fleet.

Because the elven kingdom is at war.

There are many races in the jade world, and the so-called "non-my race, its heart must be different". Fights are inevitable. This time it was the Orc Kingdom that was at war with the Elven Kingdom.

The war between the two kingdoms has been fought for a long time. The elves are proficient in archery, and any enemy who wants to rush in front of the elves will have to pay several times the price; Orcs are simple-minded and have well-developed limbs, and their greatest advantage is their strong fecundity, and they are a swarm of surprise attacks regardless of losses.

In the jungle, the trees limit the population advantage of the orcs, and the elves can slaughter every orc who breaks into the forest; And in the open area of the grassland, the few elves were chased by hordes of orcs.

The land battles of both sides were divided by forests and grasslands, and neither could fight in a favorable environment for the other. So the battlefield shifted to the sea.

The initial naval battle between the two countries was a one-sided victory, and the elves, who had mastered sailing skills, rebuilt their original rowboats and became the dhow that the elves fleet now drives. The orc warship used to be the most powerful warship on the Emerald Ocean, because the orc's physique could slide the oars faster, but this time they encountered the elves who were hanging up, and in the encounter at sea, the fast and nimble sloops beat the orc fleet all over the ground. The sails and manpower made the sloops run faster, and the orc warships fought hard and couldn't rely on the gang to fight the broadside battle, and were finally wiped out by the elven fleet.

But then the orcs opened their minds, since the battleship can't beat the elves, then it doesn't take time and effort to build the battleship, anyway, there are many orcs and they are not afraid of death, so they start canoe tactics.

The topography of the Emerald World is extremely primitive, and trees tens of meters tall can be seen everywhere. A large tree is cut off, and the thickest part is cut off and thrown into the sea

After hollowing out, it is a canoe, the small canoe can carry four or five orcs, and the large one can hold eight or nine. Of course, there was no safety in this canoe, but it was easy and quick to build, and soon the orcs pulled up a fleet of thousands of canoes and hundreds of rafts.

The naval battle between the elves and the orcs started again, and the orc fleet sprinkled canoes all over the sea to oppress the elven fleet, and the elves with only a few dozen sloops were really good at this style of play. Even though the speed of the sloop sloop had an absolute advantage, the elven warship's attack method was only to ram and shoot with a bow and arrow, facing the overall advance of a thousand canoes. Once the small number of elven warships attacked, they could be surrounded by orc canoes, and the elven fleet could only be held back step by step.

Finally, when the elven fleet had to fight in the elven harbor, a gust of wind suddenly overturned the orc canoe fleet into the sea.

With God's help, the elven fleet escaped, but what about the next time?

So the elves began to build warships, not only expanding the number of sloops to 130, but also enlarging the number of brigs to 10 in imitation of the Tomato left by Gangzi.

However, according to the intelligence, another batch of thousands of canoes on the side of the orc kingdom is ready to go.

The elves knew they couldn't rely on unpredictable weather for their victory, but without the weather, the elven fleet was no match for orc canoe tactics. The mood of the fleet was very low. Nastron sent a large number of dhows in the direction of the orc kingdom to monitor the movements of the orc fleet, and at the same time concentrated the fleet on the outer side of the elven sea, to see if there was some way to consume some of the strength of the orc fleet first.

Yesterday, the "Flying Henan People" encountered an elf patrol ship responsible for monitoring the sea, and the direction of the "Flying Henan People" was biased towards the sea area of the orc kingdom, and such a large warship could be orcs, no wonder the elf fleet was so nervous.

Fortunately, everyone is their own people, Nastrom said: "I was going to retreat to the elven harbor after consuming some of the orc canoes, and rely on the defenses to resist the attack of the orcs, but when I heard that the orcs had a huge warship. It's a real jump, fortunately this huge battleship belongs to a friend of the elves, I have heard of the prestige of the undead ship, and now it should be called the 'Flying Henan'. Can it defeat the orc fleet? ”

Bucknar didn't know how to answer, he looked at Gangzi, hoping for an affirmative answer.

"No," Tsuyoko quickly replied, "a three-masted battleship has limited firepower. The enemy targets are small and numerous, and if the orcs send another thousand or more canoes, the "Flying Henan" and the elven fleet together will not be the opponent of the orc fleet. ”

Nastron couldn't help but look disappointed. He said to Bucknar: "It seems that I can't accompany you back to Elven Harbor, the elven fleet needs to continue to carry out the original plan to stop the orc fleet here, you accompany Gangzi and the 'Flying Henan' back, the wandering elves must be very much like reuniting with their families." ”

But Bucknar looked at Gangzi: "My lord said that we are not the opponent of the orcs in the conventional way of play, so what about the unconventional way of playing?" ”

Gangzi smiled but didn't say directly: "I only have one preliminary idea, whether it can be successfully implemented still depends on the level of the elven fleet's navigation queue, then Commander Stroon, the elven fleet may not have much success in blocking the orc fleet here, if the elf fleet is transformed according to my idea, it should be possible to destroy the attacking orc fleet, and the elf fleet should go back with us." ”

Although Gangzi spoke to Nastrom in a consultative tone, he was still accustomed to commanding the fleet, and he unconsciously showed the firmness of giving orders.

As the commander-in-chief of the fleet of the Elven Kingdom, Nastron has his own honor, and when he heard the unviolable subtext in Gangzi's words, he couldn't help but feel a little dislike in his heart, but the elf's character and respect for Bucknar were not revealed.

Bucknar was very happy and said, "Great, as long as there are adults, it will be easy to defeat the orc fleet." Nastrom, let's go and ask the elven warship to line up a few sailing queues and ask the adults to see if they are qualified. ”

With that, Bucknar pulled Nastron out of the captain's room of the "Flying Henan".

"Bucknar, my old friend, you seem to have changed after so many years of absence, and you are so humble as an elf to an unknown race, your honor! Your dignity is gone! I don't know what you've encountered over the years, but you've made me feel strange. Walking on the deck of the Flying Henan, Nastron spoke loudly to Bucknar about his displeasure with him.

Bucknar replied loudly, "The honor and dignity of the elves still flow in my blood, and I am not humble and flattering to Lord Gangzi, but respectful. You say we've been away for 25 years, but we've only been in another world for a year and 15 days, and in that year's time, we've experienced voyages that you can't even imagine. After experiencing battles that you can't even imagine, and seeing warships that you can't imagine at all, the orc fleet there is as childish and ridiculous as a child's house, but such a fleet actually makes the fleet of our elven kingdom have to face it with the belief that it will die. ”

With that, Bucknar pulled over a morning glory elf who had been attracted by their quarrel: "Tell me, have you ever seen a canoe during this year's voyage?" ”

"I've seen it! Captain! Then the elf straightened up, raised his head and replied in a loud voice.

"Where? What are they used for? ”

"The natives of Africa and the Americas, they used to make short voyages, captain!"

"What will you do if they dare to attack our fleet in a canoe?"

"Sink them. Captain! ”

"What if there are many?"

"All sunk, Captain!"

"What if someone attacks our fleet in a thousand canoes?"

The elf asked suspiciously, "Captain, there will be no fool who can build a thousand canoes." ”

"Answer my question sailor?"

The elf immediately stood up straight and replied loudly: "Destroy them, Captain!" ”

"Okay, get on with your work."

Bucknar called another elven sailor and asked the same question, and after receiving the same answer, he turned to look at Nastrom. At this time, Nastrom still maintained a shocked expression.

"See, a thousand canoes are not enemies to every elf on this, because the enemy fleets they once faced were even more powerful than this, but these enemies were all wiped out by Lord Gangzi. Nastrom. My brother, please believe me, believe in Tsuyoko-sama. ”

Nastron was shocked by the confidence shown by the elves of the Morning Glory, as if a thousand canoes were like dew on the leaves. With a single swipe, they fell to the ground and shattered.

"I apologize to you for my recklessness just now, as long as I can save the elven fleet. I'm willing to take the command of Master Gangzi, but what do you mean by marching in procession? ”

……

Bucknar has the urge to hit the wall, and in keeping with the Elven tradition of advocating freedom, the Elven fleet travels very freely. The fleet sails to follow the flagship, and as for how to follow it, it is free to play, and those who run fast will wait in front of it, and those who run slowly will quickly paddle to catch up.

Such a fleet turned out to be the fleet that the elven kingdom relied on to compete for sea power, and Bucknar was very ashamed in front of Gangzi. To command this fleet, which had difficulty even maintaining a single marching formation, to fight, Gangzi also expressed great pressure on Bucknar.

But Gangzi has already established a very good relationship foundation with the elves, and he must not see them lose their sea power.

"Arrange the morning glory elves to the ten brig-class sailing ships, I need these ten brigs to be able to maintain the equidistant and parallel formation with the 'Flying Henan People' in various directional change actions, whether they can defeat the orc fleet, it depends on how well these ten brig-class sailing ships practice."

One of the ten brigs in the Elven fleet is the Tomato, a two-masted merchant ship that has long since passed its service life for 25 years, but the Elves' unique abilities still maintain good performance.

The other nine brigs were all modeled after the Tomato, and even the gun doors were left intact by the elves, who did not have a cannon installed, so they arranged a large number of archers inside and used the gun doors to shoot outside.

Bucknar had reached a consensus with Nastron that the elven fleet would temporarily receive the command of Gangzi, and after the morning glory elves entered the ten brigs, the ten sailing ships immediately became orderly, and formed an equidistant side-by-side march queue of fifteen meters apart on both sides of the "Flying Henan".

With the guidance of the morning glory elf, the ten brigs can move synchronously with the "Flying Henan" as the center and keep it straight, but once the change of direction is carried out, when the ships need to accelerate and decelerate, the formation instantly becomes no longer neat.

During one of the failed drills, the fleet reached Elf Harbor.

Gangzi looked at the land that appeared in front of him and said to Baknar, "It's really a sense of intimacy to be back here again, as if you are returning to your hometown. ”

Bucknar looked at the approaching dock, which was already crowded, and it was clear that the current elven ship had spread the news of the return of the morning glory elves throughout the elven kingdom, "My lord, this place will always be your hometown, and the elves will always remember your gift to us. ”

"No, the elves have helped me a lot, we are friends, brothers who fight side by side. Forget the orc fleets for a moment, and we'll teach them a hard lesson, like the enemies we've faced, so that they know how powerful we are. And now, enjoying the hugs of your loved ones is all that matters. ”

"Yes, I've only been through a year and I can't wait to fly to my wife and daughter right away, and they have been waiting for me for 25 years, it's hard to imagine what kind of torment it is, I really owe them so much, it was the biggest mistake that I left last time I didn't take them with me, I won't make it this time."

Gangzi said happily: "You will return to my world with me?" ”

"Yes, I didn't bring them last time because I was afraid of unknown dangers, now that the captain's fleet is so strong, they will be safer there than here, and the Applegas Islands are very suitable for the elves' secluded life." (To be continued......)
