Chapter 199: Yingzhou Raiders

In order to catch up with Alice's fleet, Roger's two ships and one whale almost sleeplessly marched towards Yingzhou, day and night.

In normal times, the speed of the dragon whale is far from comparable to that of these two big and battered ships now. However, with the blessing of the wind magic array controlled by Wendy, and the promotion of the hurricane elemental troops and the sea elemental troops, both ships are moving forward with a "high speed" that is difficult to achieve in normal times.

As a result, as a living being, the blue-scaled dragon whale will feel tired from time to time, and the situation will be left behind, making the two ships have to wait for the dragon whale to reduce their speed a little.

In fact, sailing at such a speed all the time is also quite a serious test for these two ships. Even if the large sea ship produced by the elves is sailing at such a speed that far exceeds the performance limit of the ship, it is easy to be scattered by the waves in the face of the wind and waves at sea, not to mention these two broken ships that are only barely repaired.

Liebil, the former first mate (now the captain) of the Royal Knight, did not feel any worries about this, but comforted the restless sailors from time to time.

The reason why Liebil was not worried about the safety of the ship was simply because he had the good fortune to see Roger's "emergency" methods.

After Liber raised his concerns about the ship with Sakurahime, Sakurahime asked Sayuri to take Liber to the stern of the ship, which had been designated as a forbidden place. And at the stern, Liebier saw a scene that he will never forget.

Surrounded by an emerald green light that exuded a strong breath of life, branches suddenly grew on the originally flat deck, giving birth to patches of green leaves. Even on the side of the ship, you can see the roots of the trees stretching outward.

And under the action of these sudden growth of branches, leaves, and roots. The hull of the ship, which had been nailed to the planks, slowly grew together, and the gaps between the planks disappeared in the blink of an eye. The entire stern looks like a single piece.

Had it not been for the branches that had grown on the hull, Liebil would have been the least afraid of the wind and waves of all the ships. The whole ship has grown into one, and unless it encounters a huge wave that can smash the whole ship, this ship will surely be able to crisscross the seas with ease. After all, the hull of the ship is not afraid of the turbulence of the waves, and the captain can arrange a magic array that can accelerate the ship, and once the speed is raised, the ship is almost invincible at sea.

The shocked Liebil subconsciously took a deep breath, and a fresh breath suddenly poured into his nose. It lifted his spirits.

This is...... What a smell of the forest!

And in the middle of the dense foliage, Roger was sitting on the deck, his eyes tightly closed, trying to maintain the stability of a dark green magic array beneath him.

Libir was stunned.

Libier himself couldn't remember how he got back to the cabin, but when he came back to his senses, he immediately turned to Hattori Sayuri in front of him and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Although he had known for a long time that magic was magical, it was still completely beyond Lieber's imagination to allow the planks that had been made into a ship to sprout and take root like this.

What's more, it's at sea!

"I'm not a druid, so that's how the grown-up used. I don't know very well. Hattori Sayuri shook her head very calmly: "However, I believe that after seeing that scene, you shouldn't be worried that the ship won't be able to reach Yingzhou Island, right?" ”

"Even this ship can sprout and take root, what else do I have to doubt." Liebil said with a wry smile. "But what about the other ship?"

"After all, the elemental creatures on that ship have a high level of patience, and although the fire elemental creatures may protest a little, the entire ship is still frozen in a layer of ice by the ice elementals." Sayuri pouted. "Until that ice shell shatters, the ship won't have to worry about it at all."

"I see. It's no wonder that the hurricane element and sea element pushing that ship are obviously more than here, but the speed is much slower than here. Libier nodded. Then he shook his head again, "Suddenly it feels like the world has completely changed, I'm going to take a break, I'll see you later." ”

Watching Liebil shake his head and walk towards his room, Sayuri couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although the people of the Free Federation rarely see high-level mages haunting, they don't know much about magic, so Liebil is only quite shocked by Roger's actions.

But with Her Royal Highness as a water witch and her companion as an onmyoji, and a ninja profession that can perform magic itself, Sayuri was completely horrified by Roger's approach.

Dead wood in spring, this is actually close to the concept of "resurrection". Besides, this is not a dead tree at all, but a ship!

Is the Legendary Realm really that powerful?

Sayuri herself is actually at a loss, although she herself is already a master of stepping into the legendary realm, but what Roger has done is still completely unimaginable to her.

Roger, who didn't know that he had frightened many children, was still very calm and maintained the operation of the magic array, until the two ships and one whale finally caught up with Alice's fleet.

In the vast sea, it is actually easy to get lost. Alice's fleet was able to arrive in Yingzhou smoothly, and the compass handed over to Alice by the elves contributed a lot.

And Roger and his entourage relied on Sakurahime, who was a native of Yingzhou.

With the guidance of the god of water, Sakurahime successfully used the effect of ocean currents and trade winds to quickly shorten the distance between the two ships and one whale and Alice's fleet. However, when Roger and his party finally caught up with Alice, who was wandering at sea, it was clear to everyone on the ship that Alice must have suffered a loss.

Because of the seven ships that Alice originally owned, there are now only five left, and each ship has some obvious damage.

When the originally demoralized Free Federation troops discovered the approach of Roger's two ships and one whale, they quickly regained their courage and quickly prepared for battle.

It should be said that it is worthy of being the elite trained by the mercenary king.

Roger, who was watching this scene from afar, couldn't help but nodded, and it can be seen from the reactions of these troops that although Alice suffered a lot of losses, she did not lose too badly, at least the troops under her command still retained the strength to fight.

At this time, Alice and the others, who had sensed that it was Roger through the Hero's Certificate, had already walked out of the cabin. After seeing that Granny and the others quickly pacified the troops, Roger took Sakura and the others to board Alice's current flagship.

What intrigued Roger was that Alice's face did not look depressed, but rather looked a little uneven.

"What the hell is going on?" Roger immediately asked indifferently, and Sakurahime, Aisha and the others behind Roger immediately pricked up their ears.

Alice smiled bitterly, and then said slowly: "According to the instructions of the compass, the leaves of the World Tree should be on the main island of Yingzhou now, but the living materials of the fleet are already a little tight, so I decided to replenish them in the harbor here." ”

"However, as soon as our fleet approached the harbor, it was bombarded by magic cannons." Granny on Alice's side said, the look on her face was very distressed, "The other party didn't even ask, he directly activated the magic guide cannon and bombarded it, which is completely unreasonable!" ”

The consumption of a large-area lethal weapon like the magic guide cannon is also quite amazing, and an eight-grade magic crystal with abundant energy can only support about ten rounds. With such consumption, even the wealthy Tower of the Nine Rings would not be able to use the magic cannon to set off fireworks.

And Yingzhou is already short of supplies here, and it is impossible to use a sharp weapon like the magic guide cannon casually, but Alice's fleet has been shelled, so it can only be said that the other party must have been prepared.

"Because of the suddenness of the incident, the Guardian Knight, which was guarding the flagship at that time, was directly hit, and a huge opening was made in the hull, and it sank completely within a few minutes. Luckily, it was a griffon troop on board, and most of the griffons landed on the supply ship, so the damage was not large. Granny sighed heavily, "But there were three large magic cannons on the shore, and the Rose Knight was also badly damaged before the fleet was completely out of range. After transferring the ship's crew, the Rose Knight was scuttled by us. ”

"I've sent a lot of spies there to investigate these days when I'm wandering here." Alice slammed the Demon Breaker Sword in her hand onto the deck, and said very depressedly: "What is the name of that harbor Deer Ear Island, it belongs to the direct territory of the Shimazu family of Yingzhou Daimyo. The three magic cannons on the shore are said to have been captured by the Shimazu family from the Otomo family, and they are amazingly powerful. But we have never been to Yingzhou before, and it is impossible to make enemies with each other, and God knows why the other party opened fire directly. ”

Roger and Sakurahime glanced at each other, and both had a sense of foreboding in their hearts.

"Did your spy report to you which daimyo the current Shimazu family belongs to?" After a moment of silence, Roger asked Alice.

"Well, I heard that the Tokugawa family has won the world now, so the Shimazu family has also surrendered to the so-called Tokugawa family." Alice's eyes widened suddenly, "The reason why the Shimazu family fired directly at us couldn't be because of the order of the Tokugawa family, right?" ”

Well, it's all mixed up now. Roger rolled his eyes.

Sighing helplessly, Roger patted Alice on the shoulder and said, "Get ready, since the Tokugawa family has achieved the hegemony of Yingzhou, there is a chance that the leaves of the World Tree will also fall into the hands of the Tokugawa family, and we may have to directly challenge the entire Yingzhou." ”

Alice and the others were dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
