Chapter 198: Heading to Yingzhou

Now that the Alchemy City Core is in hand, Roger and Sakurahime are ready to join the rest of the fleet.

The closest thing was naturally the ship of the Elemental Legion led by Wendy and other elemental heroes, but when he arrived near the island where the Elemental Legion was anchored, looking at the miserable scene in front of him, Roger really felt a pain in his eyes.

All four large ships ran aground on the beach, and each of them suffered considerable damage: some had broken masts; Some of the sails were all broken; Some of the stern steering rudders are damaged. One of the most serious ships had a hole in its body, and it was on the verge of sinking. From the looks of it, these ships simply could not continue their voyages.

On one of the large ships, a group of sailors were busy repairing the ship. Compared to the other three ships, this one was the most intact, except for some damage to the hull and all the sails.

And the three elemental heroes under Roger's command are all on the shore at the moment. The rabbit was grilling the fish, but her skills were obviously not very good, and the fish was a little burnt; Kerr was still as indifferent as water as ever, leaning against the tree and playing the harp; On the contrary, Wendy, who has always had a bad relationship with Roger, is helping the sailors at the moment.

Just as Roger noticed Wendy, the whirlwind that Wendy was controlling swept up a stack of planks on the shore and slowly lowered them onto the boat.

For the sailors, it was really flattering that a powerful hero like Wendy actually took the initiative to help them. However, with Wendy, who can control the whirlwind, a lot of repair work has become a lot easier, so the sailors are happy to watch Wendy come to help them repair the ship.

Sakurahime's two friends and Aisha and the others are sparring; The phantom shooters, led by Melia, are running around the island; The druids, led by Ina and Isis, are preparing food. But all they prepared were fruits and vegetables.

As for the elemental troops of the Elemental Legion, most of them are now quietly staying on the shore.

The fire elemental army under the command of the rabbit is bored on the beach and staring at the sea in a daze. For these elemental creatures with flames on them. Whether it's the ocean in front of them or the small jungle behind them, it's not a place where they can move around at will. Therefore, whether it was an eighth-order fire phoenix or a seventh-order flame elemental, they all had to stay on the beach aggrieved.

Wendy's hurricane elementals are even more tragic, and they are now the most hated objects for sailors with hurricane shields around their bodies, after all, being splashed by the hurricane's waves is not a good experience for busy sailors. On the contrary, the electrified Heavenly Thunder Elementals are very popular with sailors, after all, most of the three meals a day of sailors are based on the fish that these elemental creatures have electrified.

Kerr's Ice Elementals are also very popular with sailors. No way, there is no fresh water on this island, and the original water elements are now advanced to sea elements, and sea water cannot be drunk directly. So now the sailors drink water from the ice cubes that are condensed by the dew. Naturally, these freshwater providers are grateful.

The three elemental heroes were the first to notice Roger's arrival, Kerr and Rabbit were silent at Roger's suggestion, and Wendy, who was busy, didn't pay any attention to Roger's intentions.

Naturally, the sudden appearance of the blue-scaled dragon whale caused panic among the sailors, and Roger asked Sakurahime to communicate with the dragon whale for a while, and made him play obediently in the sea, while Roger pulled Sakurahime and flew to the beach.

"Your Highness the Princess!" *2

Noticing Sakurahime's return, Hattori Sayuri and Servant Koaki suddenly cried with joy, and they all rushed over and hugged Sakurahime tightly. Completely ignoring Roger on the side.

For Sakurahime, although Sayuri and Xiao Ming are nominally her retainers, they are actually playmates from childhood to adulthood, and they are also very happy to chat with the two at the moment.

Melia, who was running a long distance, rolled her eyes directly at Roger. Then, as if he hadn't seen Roger, he ran past Roger with the Phantom Shooters, but the Phantom Shooters all saluted Roger honestly as they passed by Roger.

Hearing the voices of the phantom shooters, the strength of the kitchen knife in Ina's hand, who was preparing food with the druids, suddenly rose two notches. The kitchen knife with a series of afterimages chopped the wooden board that served as a cutting board and the fruits and vegetables on it into several pieces.

However, Ina quickly regretted venting her anger on the food, and with the help of Isis, she repaired the planks and continued to carefully cook the chopped fruits and vegetables without raising her head.

Elsa, who ran away from the target of the sparring, came to Roger's side with a fireball. The eyes that looked at Roger were also full of resentment.

Roger, who took the fireball from Elsa's arms, could only laugh haha.

Elsa aside, Melia and Ina and other awakened subordinates are in front of Roger's charge without regard for their own safety. I've always been very dissatisfied. But at that time, the situation was urgent, and except for Roger, there was really no one who could stop the terrible sea dragon, so Melia, Ina and the others only showed a little dissatisfaction and revealed the matter.

With Aisha with him, Roger walked straight to the only ship where sailors existed. When he got closer, Roger frowned.

Although he was not very familiar with these ships, after spending some time on them, Roger quickly saw that this damaged large battleship was Alice's flagship "Royal Knight"!

"Are you a crew member on the Royal Knight?" Roger climbed onto the side of the ship with ease and asked the sailors who were busy with their work.

Seeing Roger who suddenly appeared, the sailors were in an uproar, but soon a middle-aged bearded uncle wearing a three-cornered hat walked out of the sailors and respectfully gave a military salute to Roger: "The Third Brigade of the Praetorian Guard of the Free Federation Navy, Deputy Captain Liebil has seen Your Excellency!" ”

"Well, I think you seem to be the first mate on the Royal Knight, right?" Roger nodded, staring at the burly middle-aged man closely. "Can you tell me, after I'm gone. What's going on again? ”

"Of course!" With his feet slammed together, the naval soldier briefly recounted the previous events in a serious tone like reporting to his superiors.

In Roger's transformation into Xuanwu. After successfully repelling the sea dragons, the returning sea elves once again attacked Alice's fleet. And this time, the sea elves, who had a fairly accurate understanding of the strength of Alice's fleet, did not engage in broadside battles again, but commanded the dragon whales carrying ships on their backs to ram Alice's ships in turn.

Although the angelic forces successfully repelled the sea elves with the help of emergency dispatches, Alice's fleet was also not lightly damaged. And to make matters worse, when the sea elves retreated, Alice, who took out the compass, was able to determine that the leaves of the World Tree were not on the sea elves' fleet, but in another direction: the direction of the main island of Yingzhou!

Alice, who was anxious for the leaves of the World Tree, immediately prepared to rush to Yingzhou. However, Roger's whereabouts were unknown at the time. And under the collision of the dragon whale, there were also several ships in the fleet that were quite badly damaged, so Alice simply split the fleet into two, handed over the five most seriously damaged ships to Ke'er, and then rushed to Yingzhou with the rest of the ships.

Compared with the Terran troops under Alice's command, Roger's Elemental Legion not only does not need provisions, but even in addition to the ships that the Fire Elemental Legion must have, the Air Elemental Legion and the Water Elemental Legion do not rely much on ships, so Alice is very relieved to entrust the five ships to Kerr. Liebil and the others were the minimum number of sailors needed to start five ships.

However, on the third day after Kerr ordered the fleet to be moored on the nameless island, the fleet was hit by a storm. Although there were no casualties under the protection of the Elemental Legion, the five ships that were already badly damaged were once again severely damaged. The most damaged one even fell apart.

To make matters worse, during that storm, a considerable part of the daily necessities were swept away directly by the hurricane. And just rely on the water and food obtained from the ice element and the heavenly thunder element. It simply couldn't last long, so Liebil had to rush to repair the ship with his sailors. In the hope of being able to catch up with Alice's fleet before they run out of food.

"Well, I have an idea." Roger nodded. They didn't care if they wanted to give up looking for him, "In a hurry, you can simply dismantle the other two ships that are more seriously damaged, and use the removed components to repair these two ships that are still intact after all." ”

"However, in this way, two ships will not be able to hold all the troops at all!" Liebil said with a wry smile. He hadn't thought about this idea, but if he really wanted to reveal a little bit of such a thought, it would easily cause a commotion.

Four ships can still squeeze out all the troops, not to mention that elemental creatures don't have any need for a living environment.

The sailors naturally didn't want to die, but if they really wanted to fight for the ship's position, neither the elves nor the elemental creatures were easy to deal with, so the sailors just thought about it, and pinned their hopes on repairing the ship one by one.

"No, two ships are actually enough." Roger waved his hand, "A ship carries the fire elemental troops, and a ship carries us. ”

"In this way, do you plan to leave those elemental troops behind?" Liber asked a little dumbfounded, and his heart couldn't help but be worried. Weaker elemental creatures are more likely to be outcasts than powerful elemental creatures.

"In fact, during this time, Sakurahime and I captured a dragon whale, and it was very suitable to use that dragon whale to carry those elemental creatures." Roger spread his hands and said, "Air elemental creatures can fly, sea elementals and ice elementals can swim, and then let them take turns to rest." ”

Elemental creatures that don't get tired and hungry just need to take a break when they need to replenish their elemental powers, even on the back of an unsheltered dragon whale.

After receiving Roger's instructions, Liber immediately happily led the sailors to dismantle the two seriously damaged ships, and with the help of Roger and the elemental creatures, there were ready-made "materials" and enough manpower, and after working overtime, the two ships were barely repaired the next morning.

In order to appease the hearts of the sailors, Roger also deliberately let the dragon whale appear in advance. Although it inevitably caused panic among the sailors (after all, it was attacked by the dragon whale of the sea elves not long ago), the appearance of the blue-scaled dragon whale still successfully gave the sailors full confidence.

When everything was ready, Roger arranged the fire elements on the latter ship, and then let the air elemental legion fly around the fleet, and the water elemental legion went into the sea to swim, and then took all the sailors and the remaining elven troops, and rode the Royal Knight, which was covered with patched traces, to Yingzhou Island.
