Chapter 175: Looting and Rivalry Narrow Roads
On the sea, a three-masted galleon was breaking through the wind and waves and moving at a speed that was clearly beyond normal speed.
At the bow of the ship, a statue of a beautiful goddess with a hazy face and graceful posture stretched out its arms, supporting a transcendent aura that was difficult to see with the naked eye, giving the battleship a speed and stability that ordinary ships could hardly match.
Considering that they were all on the same boat, it was impossible for the abnormal speed of the warship to be hidden from the crew all the time. At this time, the captains and officers who were qualified to contact the transcendent world had already learned from Aven about the magical abilities of this new ship's bowel.
At this time, the officers who were not on duty for the time being were all gathered around the bow of the ship, looking at this treasure.
After all, when had they ever seen such a magical thing when they had ever seen such a magical thing when they had always been in the sixth-level ship at the bottom of the kingdom fleet's contempt chain?!
All of them are amazed.
"Is this magical power witchcraft?" Borg, the first mate in charge of logistics, was the most expert, and inadvertently, he had already broken through the essence of this "ship's bow statue" in one sentence.
"Shhhh
"Hehe, what can't you say, this is on the sea! Don't say that the witchcraft items are wizards? You don't think that those alchemical weapons distributed on battleships are made by ordinary people in the arsenal, do you?"
has been the first mate for many years, even if he can't get in touch with the high-level, but some insiders in the navy can't hide this old sailor!
However, although they chatted about truth and falsehood, no one dared to touch it themselves.
Fear of unknown sorcery is only one of the reasons, and most importantly, it is the personal belongings of the captain, and they can't afford to break it.
Among the group of people chatting around the bow of the ship, Vader, the sail chief, was particularly fanatical.
At just 22 years old, he became a captain with excellent sail control skills and professional ability, and was the youngest captain officer on the Conch before Aven's appointment.
Unlike Evan who came from a declining aristocratic background and had a long background, Vader, who was born as a commoner, had nothing else but a spirit of studying professional skills.
Even when Evan recounted the effect of the "Shipbow Statue Monsoon Goddess", he was the only one who dared to ask questions, trying to discuss with Evan how this magical item works...
Although, after a little checking, Evan unfortunately told Vader that he did not have the necessary qualifications (wizard qualifications) to delve into this magical power.
But Vader also managed to get into Aven's sight.
After all, in addition to his military rank, this Captain Vader is one of the few "talents" on the "Conch" who still has the hope of going further on the road to transcendence.
After asking the officers to temporarily limit the spread of the "Ship's Portrait", Evan returned to the captain's office alone.
Goo-goo...
And, of course, there's the captain's "pet" owl bass.
Leaning back in the captain's chair in a very casual position, Aven closed his eyes, and his vision was automatically connected to the seabirds' scouting network.
In the months following the events of the Evil God, Evan finally perfected his Gallot Bird Modification 2.0.
The black-feathered frigate bird and the large albatross, two large enough seabirds, were mainly modified, and more precisely, they were demonized to a certain extent in an artificially induced way.
The black-feathered warship bird has grown from an average wingspan of three meters to five meters, and its feathers are tough and iron-colored, and it is now able to withstand musket fire at close range.
The beak and claws of the bird are sharp and cold, and even the hard head of the wild boar cannot stop it from swooping down from the sky.
Even if he doesn't have any spell-like abilities for the time being, this size and defense power alone are already comparable to the peak level of apprentice knights. Only three of them need to be dispatched together, and with the coordination and command of the bass, ordinary cadres like the "Sharktooth Pirate Group" can be directly suppressed.
Compared to the success of the Black Feather Frigate Bird, the transformation of the Great Albatross was not so smooth.
Inspired by its sheer size, Evan originally conceived the idea of transforming a warship as a platform that could carry people into the sky to form the "Sky Knights" unit.
But the end result was not satisfactory.
At the time of the final test, the size of the large albatross had indeed increased a lot, and the wingspan had reached seven meters, although it successfully lifted off with Angel as an experimental assistant, it was far from being able to carry a formal knight like Evan, who had completed an extraordinary transformation, and his muscles and bones had greatly increased.
Evan guessed that reaching this size and strength was probably the limit of a mortal thing. In order to truly break through this limit, their sorcery skills need to be further improved to help them complete their complete demonization.
By analogy with human beings, it is to carry out extraordinary transformation and complete the ferocity of the flesh!
However, at that point, it is difficult to say how many of the original Albatrosses, with a total of only about ten in total, will remain. There is a great deal of risk involved in the extraordinary transformation of human beings, let alone a mere seabird?
There seem to be many creatures in the outside world that have withstood the test of "ferocity" and formed a stable group of demonic creatures, but that is based on the huge base of natural creatures, which does not mean that they are more capable of bearing than humans!
In addition to the black-feathered frigate bird and the large albatross.
The most common white seagull is not outwardly modified as the main force of the scouts, and the nature of its work is, of course, the less obtrusive the better. It only further strengthens their sensory and environmental tolerances, and the transformation is constantly too large.
The petite and swift Pintail swifts maintain overall coordination while focusing on strengthening their wings and bones, making them lighter and fly faster!
In fact, with Aiwen's current knowledge accumulation, it is not that he can't give Seabirds a higher intensity of transformation, but he wants to reserve the greatest room for improvement for them. When your level of witchcraft is higher, you can still follow your footsteps.
Now Aiwen's bird flock has been transformed and supplemented several times, forming a reconnaissance team dominated by pintail swifts and white seagulls, an air battle formation dominated by black-feathered warship birds, and a reserve mount albatross that makes Evan not so satisfied for the time being.
However, Ai Wen is not ready to idle them, and for the time being, this large bird, which has a wingspan of seven meters and has all-weather flight ability, will be used as a large early warning aircraft.
As a relay for the owl bass, the existing detection radius can be greatly expanded again.
After repeated updates, the detection radius of seabirds has risen from 10 kilometers at the beginning to more than 50 kilometers. As long as it is within this range, the reconnaissance network can ensure that the footage is transmitted in real time without any delay.
At this point, Aven's seabird unit has taken shape, using warships as offshore platforms, and its main function is to reconnoitre, supplemented by combat assistance.
However, it is like a brand-new unit that has just been equipped with new equipment, and it still needs follow-up training and run-in before it can really exert its combat effectiveness.
Upon his return to Gabred, this is exactly what Evan has been doing.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The "steel" wingspan, which had reached five meters, easily controlled the turbulent air currents on the sea, and the flight formation composed of three black-feathered warship birds flew over the "Conch" and shot towards the sea in the distance.
Relying on the signal relay amplification of the "base station" bass and the "early warning aircraft" albatross, Ai Wen can not only passively receive the signals of the seabirds located at the terminal, but also project a part of the spiritual power in reverse to accurately control the actions of the seabirds.
However, with the size of the Blackfish Frigate Bird, three is already the limit. No matter how many there are, they will take care of one and lose the other, and their combat effectiveness will decrease instead of increasing.
Now Evan is ready to continue his previous training subject that he has failed many times: Consciousness Descends, and uses human consciousness to control the strengthened body of the warship bird to perform extraordinary swordsmanship!
This is also a somewhat helpless alternative to the lag in the development of quasi-spell abilities.
Whoosh –
A warship bird vibrated its wings awkwardly, accelerated to the limit and then swooped into the sea, its sharp beak like a sharp sword piercing and tearing the air apart, emitting a piercing scream.
But... Still failed.
If it hadn't reacted in time and controlled it to climb quickly, it might have just taken it and let this poor "test subject" plunge headlong into the sea.
You must know that although the frigate bird is a seabird, its feathers are not waterproof, and it cannot swim at all, so it only robs other birds for a living. If you plunge into the sea just now, you won't be able to come up again.
"It seems that this vision will be difficult to realize. The foundation of knight's swordsmanship is the breathing method, but the body structure and breathing style of birds are too different from those of humans, and I was really whimsical before.
To achieve that effect, it is tantamount to re-establishing a system of cultivation for bird creatures, which is far beyond the limits of my ability.
Is it going to come down to the development of spell-like abilities in the end?"
Evan was already mentally prepared for the failure of the experiment again, and he was not particularly depressed at this time. Instead, he recorded his own experimental process again and again, temporarily sealed it, and then explored the possibility in another direction.
Consciousness piloted the warship bird flight formation, and it was already a little far away from the "Conch".
"Hey, there's a boat here? That sign is... Egret Chamber of Commerce?!"
Looking down from the perspective of a warship bird in the sky, through the clouds and smoke, the two ships sailed side by side on the turquoise sea, but it was clear that they were not companions.
One armed merchant ship had white sails painted with the Egret Chamber of Commerce, while another three-masted galleon had black sails that belonged exclusively to pirates.
Boom, boom, boom...
The roar of artillery fire could be heard from below, and the two ships sailing side by side opened fire on each other as they continued to approach as they continued to approach each other, and the sailors on both ships sharpened their knives and prepared for the inevitable broadside battle that followed.
However, seeing the armed merchant ships looted by the pirates, Aven did not have the slightest idea of going up to help.
Because the "Egret Chamber of Commerce" is the property of his own enemy, Count Wright of the Kingdom of Ilia!!
The road is narrow!
