Chapter 140: Expeditionary Battle Group
A few hundred nautical miles away from the human fleet, the aircraft carrier battle group in Demon King City was also quietly following up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The entire fleet was flanked and fronted by three air battleships loaded with Valkyries and Nemesis.
A little inside, 16 small anti-aircraft destroyers lined up in a large circle, and at the same time a large number of gargoyles were loaded inside.
The large circle of destroyers is composed of six aircraft carriers more than 300 meters long, carrying dragons and griffins.
Finally, in the middle of the fleet, there are 5 super-giant transport landing ships and 3 large integrated supply ships.
The total number of expeditionary warships is 33, and almost one-third of the family base of the Demon King City has been moved.
The flagship is, of course, Ding Lei's location, the large aviation battleship leading the way.
Standing on the bow of the towering ship, the fierce sea breeze blowing in his face, Ding Lei had the urge to shout "I am the king of the world".
It would be more perfect if there could be another heroine.
Thinking of this, he turned around excitedly.
Behind them stood Denise and the three of them, and Emilia, who were smiling at the moment.
There are a lot of heroines, and none of them are easy to mess with.
"Ahem, what are you doing here?" Ding Lei coughed to hide his embarrassment.
Several people smiled and said, "Seeing that you have been standing here for a long time, do you have the urge to scream towards the sea?" ”
You can see this??
Just when Ding Lei wanted to say something, Adonis's voice appeared in his head, hoping that he could come to the bridge and have something to discuss.
"Well, I'm sorry girls, there's something wrong with Adonis, I'll have to go over first."
A few people glanced back at the bridge, and Grace pressed her hand on the hilt of her sword, and after a final thought, she let go.
Ding Lei also breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that she would be impulsive and split the command room with the skeletons inside.
"See you then." With that, the figure disappeared in place.
Inside the high command room, in a bright space, the Death Knights sat on either side of the Death Knights, operating various instruments, and in front, Adonis, dressed in gold armor, stood at the window and looked down the deck.
Ding Lei saw such a scene after he arrived, I have to say that the death knights are really powerful, except for fighting, there seems to be nothing they won't do.
"What's the matter?" Ding Lei walked forward as he spoke, came to Adonis's side, and looked down together, as if they could directly see the Nemesis at the front of the deck.
Adonis turned his head and asked, "Am I not picking the time?" ”
"How so. Say, what's the matter? ”
"After about 1 hour, you will enter the Storm Circle, the speed will slow down a little, and most importantly, according to the report of Nemesses who flew back, a sizable fleet will be found inside the Storm Circle."
Hearing this, Ding Lei's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked, "Do you see what type of ship it is?" ”
Adonius shook his head and said, "The storm was so great that Nemises was struck by lightning and had to retreat at last. ”
"Is she alright?"
"Her shield is in the way, no problem, and most importantly, according to her, it's a fleet that is different from ours and the human side, and the silhouette is also made of steel, except that each ship is made up of multiple tall chimneys."
"Steam Ironclad??" Ding Lei exclaimed after hearing this.
"Huh? Does Your Highness know? ”
The humans on Ding Lei's side are driven by magic energy and do not emit exhaust gases, so there are no chimneys.
If any of the new warships appeared, it meant that their civilization had entered the age of steam.
The civilization in this world is a bit chaotic, with sail warships, ironclad steam, and the magic energy drive on their side, and various ship types are mixed together.
It's just that in the end, which is stronger and which is weaker can only be known after fighting.
Introducing Adonis to the functions of the Ironclad, who smiled and said, "We seem to be a few generations ahead of them." ”
yes, how could this skeleton think of releasing Nemesis like a modern aircraft carrier to send out for reconnaissance like an airplane?
He asked him this question, and the latter replied, "When we went to sea in the past, we were attacked by the opponent's magic cannon, and Denise on the ship went directly to dismantle the other two with her. Since then, I've found that it's more cost-effective to have the Valkyries bomb in the past than to bombard, because they have a fast flight radius and speed, and their damage effect and hit rate are much higher than that of the magic cannon, so ......"
Adonis is worthy of being the premier commander, who knows how to be flexible, Ding Lei's impression of human society, from battleships to aircraft carriers, those high-level leaders have paid a considerable price to slowly adapt to it, unlike here, as soon as they find it useful, they immediately change their tactics without hesitation.
Ding Lei nodded and asked, "What is their combat radius?" ”
"The range was about 600 nautical miles, and I didn't let them go too far, otherwise it would be too late to retreat. The Valkyries have a radius of more than 2,000 nautical miles if they find a target, but they don't have a good sense of direction, and sometimes they have to send a lot of troops to find their target. ”
In addition, there is fatigue, and if you have energy, you can directly replenish it with magic energy crystals.
"Now that you've discovered that fleet, what do you want to do?"
"Go to them, and if it's an enemy, I'd like to test Strass's cannon power."
The usual style of Demon King City.
"I hope you can resist the urge to shoot as soon as we meet." Ding Lei finally said.
Under the gift of Adonis, Ding Lei's figure disappeared.
He came to the middle deck of the aircraft carrier fleet.
There were no lifts visible at the edge of each carrier, and instead there were three fixed portals that glowed.
On the deck, a large group of griffons lined up in four teams, and under the guidance of the death knight next to them, they came to the four devices in front of them that resembled giant sleigh boards, and stood up, and the sled boards swooped out, and the griffons on it spread their wings while chirping loudly, and threw the big bird out when the sled board hit the end of the deck.
The whole take-off process was completed, and the griffin that flew out turned around and flew back to the team to continue waiting in line.
They're using this thing as a game.
There were no witches on the deck, and it was said that the sea breeze was not good for the skin, so the girls all went back to the cabin to drink coffee.
In this expedition, Strass and Camilla did not come, after all, the family had to be guarded.
In the afternoon, it was close to the storm circle, and Ding Lei, who was standing at the bow of the flagship, also saw the outline of the large fleet in front.
"Boom~~!!"
The opposite side was the first to fire a shot...... (To be continued.) )
