Eight years is not a long time, and the heroes who joined back then are still hairy boys, and it is not short to say that it is not short, there are enough interests and the call of the strong, and the Northland, which has experienced several wars of guarding, has completely taken off.

The distance between the nascent Lan Alliance and the super empire probably needs a war to prove its strength.

This is not a peaceful earth, and when everyone knows that the holy war is coming, any bit of national strength that is raised will naturally be invested in the field of war.

In the past few years, the Northland Lan League has made a lot of military money, but the most advanced and mature weapons and equipment have always been only used by their own people...... What? Yet-to-be-labeled advanced weapons appear on the battlefields in other regions? The soldiers of the Lanmeng have never seen it themselves?

Ahem, those new weapons, maybe you'll see them in a while, maybe you'll never see them, such as the super super goblin death RPG with a range shorter than the explosion radius, for example, the super flamethrower that accidentally purchased the unstable goblin fuel, it is said that it will BOOM after three seconds of spraying... It seems to be called Super Bomberman, and it is actually purchased by some countries.

Over the years, the military observers, arms dealers, and great engineers of the Lanmeng have traveled all over the world, and all kinds of weapons and equipment that have passed the actual combat test have been formed one by one, but there are some things that they do not buy.

"The new Polaris fleet is the most advanced floating warship in the entire Lan Alliance, and compared with the original Northern Lights fleet, its hull is longer, the armor is thicker, and the artillery fire is stronger......."

"I know better than you do, so you don't have to explain it to me."

Sending away the endless stream of engineers, I began to carefully examine the ship's data.

The new Polaris, the No. 1 Beidou-type mothership, is 302 meters long, 60 meters wide, and has 20 magic crystal charged heavy guns. There are four mage towers and one offensive mage tower to maintain the protective array, the maximum range of the two super main guns in the bow is nearly 30 kilometers, and the built-in hangar can accommodate 16 Vulture 4-shaped assault ships, 4 Hurricane-2 cruisers, and 40 dwarf Phoenix fighters.

If this doesn't look good. Compare the data of the Northern Lights prototype back then, and the difference is obvious.

The Northern Lights, a super heavy battleship, is 243 meters long, 40 meters wide, nine magic crystal charged heavy guns, seven medium mage towers, one super mage tower, and thirty-two small and medium-sized engineering heavy guns. The super main gun in the bow has a maximum range of nearly 30 kilometers, and the built-in hangar can accommodate three Vulture-type assault ships.

At that time, the Northern Lights was a prototype carefully developed by the Orlan Empire, and it was indeed very powerful, it could be used as a powerful gunboat, and there was a mage tower on it to enhance the combat power of the spellcaster, and there was a reserve cabin for a small ship inside, which could be regarded as fully functional. However, in actual combat, many problems have been exposed.

When I use it as a gunboat. The super main cannon is powerful, and the demigod-level giant beasts can't afford it, but the consumption of magic energy is not ordinarily large, and the mage tower that lacks energy can easily become an ornament, and if it is attacked by the air knight, it can only rely on those engineering cannons that are removed from the city wall. Ground artillery is used to shoot off knights, and its range and accuracy are terrible and can be ignored.

And if you launch a surprise attack on the ground, the main guns do not dare to use them casually, and you still have to rely on those engineering artillery, which is simply the warship version of the ground attack aircraft. It's too dangerous and wasteful, and as for those vulture assault ships, I'm afraid no one counts on him.

The Northern Lights prototype can be a typical theoretical drawing machine, which looks beautiful and has a comprehensive design function, but it is all a problem when it is used, and omnipotence equals all can't, if I hadn't converted it into an undead battleship with infinite endurance, I'm afraid it would have sunk a long time ago.

And the new Aurora is obviously a functional warship.

He gave up the large mage tower that was too expensive and impractical, and only chose the functional protective mage tower, I am afraid that the main task of the mage accompanying the ship is to provide protection for the battleship and maintain various protective spells, and the offensive mage tower will probably only be activated when the archmage is stationed.

Then it completely eliminated the engineering artillery of the backward era, and the number of magic crystal charged heavy artillery that can consume magic minerals and gems has doubled, and the mage tower that consumes large energy has been abandoned, and the firepower of the double-mounted naval guns can also be directly doubled, and the power of medium and long-range artillery fire can be said to be doubled.

Ground attack and anti-air defense obviously rely mainly on carrier-based aircraft and attack ships, and the change of type from gunboat to mother ship undoubtedly shows that this is its most important combat performance.

And I saw from another source that he actually settled nearly 100 griffin knights and 12 aurora knights, which undoubtedly shows its determination to strengthen the air horse duel...... I'm afraid that even if two dragon knights come, they will be quickly shot down.

The engineers of the Lanmeng are not stupid, even if I don't care, they learned from the actual battle, and did not hesitate to give up the old era of ship-based magic groups and artillery bombardment, and chose the air-carrier battle group of motherships and carrier-based aircraft to strengthen their anti-air and ground support capabilities, and maximize the strategic significance of floating warships to the entire battle situation.

"Seven are motherships?"

I remember that there were several ships that were still under construction at that time, and there should be no empty carrier models.

"The Beidou type is all air carrier gunboats with a certain artillery capability, the models of the old era are either sold or directly modified, the new types of carriers are mainly carrier-based aircraft, and the actual combat has also proved the advantages of this combat method, however, due to the limited production capacity of our shipyards, only four carrier-based aircraft have been deployed......."

I nodded, I didn't even ask the reason, shipbuilding is to burn money, and it also needs enough industry, magic, and alchemy foundation, the industrial foundation of the north is thin, and I am very satisfied with being able to do this step, it seems that I have made a lot of money from doing arms trading over the years.

And after making the mothership, those assault boats and small fighters also need to spend time and energy to prepare, which is not a matter of time and a half.

"And the other three motherships are empty?"

"No, this time, Her Highness Renee has brought more than a dozen infantry and knight warbands such as the Avalanche War Regiment and the Silver Cross Knights, as well as archers and spellcasters from the Northland Elves, who will play a role in the landing battle. Then the fleet was followed by sixteen adult dragons, but they were all young dragons about ten meters long. ”

I nodded in satisfaction, at least for now, it sounded pretty reliable, Renee and her fleet were already ahead of us, but the new Northern Lights had been sent to pick us up.

As for those dragons, as the connection between the Lan League and the underground dragon city becomes closer and closer, the black dragons and red dragons of the underground world have become mercenary soldiers of the Lan League, in addition to the super expensive salary, these big guys have a very high fit with the mothership, attack quickly, have strong air combat capabilities, and can also cast spells, making up for the lack of flexibility of the mothership battle group, which is very popular with the military.

Of course, the old dragon is still very reserved, Xiaohong's underground dragon city can't command them, those little black dragons and young red dragons who don't have a house (dragon's lair) and no wife Ben (Caibao Mountain) have no discipline, and there used to be the so-called dragon dignity, but now the dragon queen has given orders, and the face is passable and can make money, the intensity of human war is not high for the dragon clan, the danger of life is less than that of the dragon slayer who robbed the house, the income is stable and high, and there is a good reputation and honor, why not do it.

"It seems that Renee is not just here to rescue this time......"

If it is purely to save people, the battleships are all empty, and it is convenient to leave with people, and this person with heavy firepower and powerful fighters naturally intends to have a good fight.

"Your Majesty said, this is the first head-to-head confrontation of the Holy War, and our First Fleet of the Lan Alliance must play with style and momentum......."

“…… And then the goblin broadcasts the whole process, is it just convenient to sell arms? ”

The young captain of the new Northern Lights smiled and didn't answer, but the silence had confirmed my suspicions.

"The shrunken version of the mothership is already in mass production?"

“…… The first one was delivered to Bayer two months ago, but please don't call him a scaled-down version, this is the Bayer commercial version. ”

I smiled and didn't say anything, the mothership has a limited carrying capacity, and it is here to save people, Renee is not stupid to fill it with elite soldiers, she probably just brings a wing from each class, and intends to use the battlefield to collect data, considering the adaptability of the various arms of the Lan Alliance in the face of the abyss class.

"It's getting more presentable......"

I sighed a little, maybe Renee is not an all-round queen who is good at handling government affairs, but in the military, continuous victories bring endless honor to the knight princess, excellent vision always makes the right and far-sighted choices, as Lan Meng grows step by step, her reputation is getting louder and louder, and she vaguely has the prestige of the younger generation of leaders.

"It seems that I have really chosen a good successor."

A day later, the New Northern Lights rejoined the Beidou Fleet, and I met Renee again, only this time in a strange situation. (To be continued......)

PS: What's that, it seems that today's state is okay, but it's a double change, and I finally made up for what I owed before
