After the Sun Yan left, Avalon's floating port area also dispersed a lot of curious spectators, but it didn't reduce much of the tense and lively atmosphere. Many elven warriors and the cranes in the harbor are still busy, and countless tools, ammunition, materials, etc. are carried onto an elven floating battleship.

It was next to the original Yangyan docking, a floating warship with a green color as the main tone and a shape similar to the original surface ship. It is about 200 meters long, about 50 meters wide at its widest point, and about 20 meters high, which is about one-eighth the size of the Yangyan.

Therefore, the Yang Yan was regarded by everyone at the time as a dreadnought: the largest and most powerful of a race, and the total flagship of only one. Therefore, even if it was later discovered that only one battleship, the Yang Yan, broke into the battlefield, the morale of the entire battlefield remained at the top position.

Let's take this opportunity to introduce it in passing, after all, you may not have a chance later. The floating warships on the Ilona continent are divided into four classes, namely the dreadnought as the general flagship, the battleship as the flagship of the sub-fleet, the cruiser as the backbone of the main force, and the destroyer of the cute elementary school.

A standard floating battleship is about half the size of the Sunfire, while a destroyer is about half the size of a cruiser.

Basically, the specific image of battleships and cruisers can refer to the Galen galleons of the Age of Discovery, while the image and design of destroyers and dreadnoughts are different for each race, such as the dreadnoughts of the elves: the deck of the World Tree is not a sail, but a huge ancient tree.

In fact, there are airships that can fly independently and have an image similar to assault boats...... However, an airship or something, count it as a battleship?

As for the airship with a length of about 5 meters, although the principle of floating is the same as that of a battleship, the level is similar to that of a fighter. To be more precise, because there is no way to install sufficiently powerful energy and weapons, the airship cannot meet the minimum standards in terms of maneuverability, firepower, or defense, etc., so it is a very weak existence, and there is no way to participate in real air battles.

After all, floating in the sky, except for some weak chicken demon races that can naturally fly, are at least high-level demon creatures. The airship can be said to be the existence of a bento immediately after turning left when going out, and its tragedy can be comparable to that of the helicopter of the eternal lucky E.

Airships are equipped on each floating battleship, and the number is indefinite, which is equivalent to the existence of fixed components, and generally only undertakes unimportant tasks such as escape, reconnaissance, and disruption, etc., which are useful when necessary, but are dispensable for more time.

All floating warships on the Ilona continent have common basic technology and components, so they can be docked and repaired in any town with a floating port, or they can be coordinated with other warships at will, or they can be repaired in an emergency by dismantling the equipment of other warships.

However, because each race has its own racial technology and unique design, each race's floating warships have different characteristics and tactics, and their armament and number of carries, as well as mobility, defense, and so on.

For example, the floating battleship of the elves, because of the addition of ancient tree technology, has a very strong self-repair function, as long as it is not blown up in one breath, it can slowly repair itself. And in melee combat and deck combat, the entire battleship can unleash vine spells anytime and anywhere, as an enemy, it's really not too sour to take one step at a time. Moreover, the overall layout focuses on mobility and long-range firepower, and the strength of the defensive enchantment is not high, but the ultra-long durability and abdication backlash make the defense of the battleship not weak.

And not only the fleet is also universal, and the three-three system is adopted. To put it simply, each race has a general flagship that reaches the Dreadnought level, and three battleships that each command a detachment. And in each detachment, in addition to the battleships that served as flagships, there were at least three cruisers, nine destroyers.

The total number of floating warships of all races on the Ilona continent is about 360, including destroyers used to fill the gaps in the battlefield and the firepower network.

As for the fundamental reason why we should build more, it lies in resources and manpower.

The Ilona continent is not a technological plane, although there are also preliminary assembly lines and mass production standard accessories, but the various high-end alchemy materials and equipment used by floating warships still need to occupy considerable manpower and resources.

Subtract the resources and manpower needed elsewhere, for example, for the construction of a conventional army. The rest was basically supplied for the routine maintenance of dreadnoughts, as well as for the creation of new battleships.

Needless to say, dreadnoughts, as a large energy consumer, are similar to aircraft carriers in the 21st century, even if they are just docked, the daily maintenance expenditure is an astronomical amount that ordinary civilians can not reach.

The battleship will be equipped with a super-high-power extreme caliber bow magic guide gun, whose power is equivalent to the four-track electromagnetic cannon in the bow of the Yangyan, that is, the existence of the main gun level. It can be said that this is the only shipborne weapon that has a certain effect against the existence of the evil god level, so its importance is self-evident.

Therefore, the firepower of the Yang Yan was not suspected, and everyone took it for granted that the Yang Yan belonged to the specialized firepower type, and was not equipped with a super giant magic guide cannon for decisive battles, but was equipped with more ordinary weapons than ordinary dreadnoughts.

In fact, they guessed half right, the Yang Yan does belong to the anti-aircraft firepower specialization, but the specific number of its armament is actually not more than that of the dreadnought, and it can exert the firepower of a whole floating fleet, relying on the rate of fire.

The rate of fire of a repeater is ...... than that of a machine gun. Does this analogy make sense?

Therefore, the manpower and resources for the construction of cruisers and destroyers, naturally, are minimal. Then adding the damage of each battle, the fleet size and the total number of ships on the Ilona continent can be said to be quite stable.

Unless there is a revolutionary reform and progress in production technology, there will probably not be any major fluctuations.

That's all for the introduction, let's turn the camera back to the standard floating cruiser docked in the Avalon floating port area.

On the deck of a brand-new battleship, a handsome elf man stood at the bottom of the mast, listening to the report of the elven soldiers beside him. This handsome guy in the captain's uniform is the captain of this cruiser.

In other words, there is nothing ugly about the elves, right......

"Captain! All supplies are moved in! ”

"How's the preparation for the voyage going?"

"About thirty minutes to go!"

"Finish as soon as possible! I'm just going to give you fifteen minutes! ”

After giving the order, the handsome captain glanced at the letter of appointment that he was holding tightly in his hand:

From now on, Captain Olivier Langheim of the First Captain of the Forest Guard Force is appointed as the captain of the standard floating cruiser: Czumea!] 〉

[Due to special circumstances, the Ksumya will participate in the war as an independent force in this holy war, and the specific subordination will be decided after the war!] 〉

After the preparation for the voyage is completed, the Ksumia immediately goes to the 26th Space Passage to join the 6th Brigade of the 1st Heavy Regiment of the Royal Banner Force to participate in the forced closure of the plane passage, and the specific tactics are discussed and decided by the captain and the captain!) 〉

〈This battle will be fought at any cost!' Be sure to do it in the shortest possible time! 〉

〈Elf Sub-Headquarters of the General Headquarters of the Continental Alliance〉

In this regard, Olivier shook his head helplessly and said: "Although it is not bad to be the captain of a floating cruiser, and I still have some confidence in my command ability, it is really ...... to take over a new warship directly."

That's right, the battleship has just left the factory, and it didn't even have time to go on sea trials. Because of this, the battleship is now docked in the floating port of Avalon.

The other floating warships of the Elven Clan had already set off at the moment of the start of the Holy War, and went to the corresponding location according to the predetermined plan. Even after the battle spiraled out of control, the ships continued to fight in various places, and did not immediately return to Avalon's aid. As a result, the tragedy of the Avalon front line was the case, and even if the reinforcements were returned immediately, they would have been able to collect Avalon's corpse when they arrived at the battlefield......

And this newly manufactured Csumia, not to mention, the most important supplies were not fully equipped, and the ship's personnel had not yet been assembled, and it was impossible to fight if it wanted to go to war at that time. Although in the end, no matter how incomplete it is, this cruiser will definitely go to war.

"Now we can only count on the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, and hopefully there will be no major mistakes."

Ten minutes passed quickly, and with the efforts of everyone, the sailing of the battleship was finally completed.

At this time, Olivia, as the captain of the ship, had already arrived on the bridge of the Ksumya.

It is a room made almost entirely of wood, with the exception of other materials in some key parts, no windows or air vents, and even a single door that can only be passed through to the outside world, and the whole room is covered with mysterious patterns. That's right, the bridges of floating battleships are located inside the battleship!

The bridge was already full of places for others, and when Olivia took her place, the patterns that spread all over the bridge shone brightly, and in an instant the floor, walls, and ceiling disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Just like standing in a glass house suspended in the air, the people on the bridge seem to be standing directly above the sky. Looking around, there is no obstacle, and you can see all the scenes around the battleship very clearly.

The full-angle holographic projection technology has a much lower standard for the magical civilization than the technological civilization. At least before the advent of floating warships, this technology had been developed long ago, but not many people would use it.

"I don't want to say anything more, because I don't know any of you, including this standard floating cruiser I command now!"

Olivia's voice, through the magic array, made everyone on the battleship hear his words.

"And I, the captain of this battleship, Olivia Ronheim, I am sure none of you know me, at least I have heard my name. Therefore, there is nothing to say to everyone who meets for the first time, especially now that they are about to set sail and the first flight is the first battle. ”

"This time we will go directly to the predetermined battlefield as an independent action force, instead of going to join the rest of the fleet, and have already given the order to do whatever it takes!"

"Therefore, I have only one request for you: obey orders! Obey any order I give, including abandonment and ramming! ”

"Even if we sink in the first battle, we must complete our mission!"

"Target: Space Passage Twenty-Six, Standard Float Cruiser: Ksumemia, Set sail!"

"May Ilona bless us!"
