Just when Smith thought Abigail would turn his face, Abigail smiled and gave Xia He a hug.

"Then next time, when I ask you to do something, you won't have anything to gain. ”

"If it's not a goddess thing, of course. "Xia He's indifferent attitude.

"Well, all those who are idle in the future will come to me and see how they march and fight. It's not okay to practice behind closed doors, and we'll have a lot of things to do in the future. Xia He pointed to the illusion on the magic array.

Nearly a hundred warships, mighty and mighty, headed for the south.

No matter which nobleman's ship was, it was maintained on the Xia River side and unified supplies before it set off from the Sun City side.

The Merifin family's boats are very good, two of them were bought in Xia He's hands, but those small nobles, some of the boats have very bad power, Xia He had to make some modifications and install external defenses. Especially the deck, if someone smashed it with an ordinary stone cannon, it would be a joke.

The ships of the Merriffin family were at the front, and the fleet of the Xia River was broken.

On the ships of both ships, the magic cannons are more accurate and have a longer range, which can take care of the two wings.

The ships in front and behind regularly release special sound waves into the sea to drive away the demonic beasts in the sea. Warcraft also has wisdom, and it is found that with such a huge fleet, few people are willing to provoke.

Those who dare to take the lead are all grumpy goods, but the fleet is driving near the sea, and there are no too terrible guys.

The speed of Xiahe's fleet can be above two hundred miles, but in order for the entire fleet not to be disjointed, it has to maintain a speed of one hundred and twenty miles. Those little nobles' warships can drive up to one hundred and twenty miles, and if they are not afraid of the loss of the magic array, they can also drive to one hundred and eighty miles.

But that's the limit, the generation gap in weapons can't be made up for by desperate efforts.

Imperial warships, the previous minimum standard was one hundred and two, and the combat posture should exceed one hundred and fifteen. The limit state is 200 miles per hour. Xia He changed the cruising speed to two hundred miles, but in fact, it was not as helpful as he thought for naval warfare, because everyone was equipped with magic airships and flying warships, and this speed was not comparable to that of warships.

The speed of one hundred and two per hour is not slow, the speed of the primitive sailing ship is only twenty or thirty miles, and the running speed of the war horses on land cannot catch up with the battleship.

All ships were reinforced with keels and used magic segments. In front of the ship, there are metal ramming corners, of course, not for colliding with the enemy, there are some large magical beasts in the sea, and when you can't dodge, you can hit it headlong.

Abigail was in the room, and Xia He asked her to come so that she could explain the magic to herself.

Smith also opened his eyes, the teacher can actually let a believer of the gods explain the secrets of the gods to him, but he doesn't understand very much, because Abigail understands that if you don't tell Asra about this kind of thing, Asra will know sooner or later. Passing on knowledge to Asra now will also pay off.

Besides, this is allowed by the goddess, what can and cannot be said has already been set for her.

In front of the fleet on the sea, there was a sudden commotion, Xia He frowned, let out his voice, and heard the magician in charge of monitoring shouting: "There are giant ballistae, giant ballista!"

The giant ballista is not very big, it looks more than a meter long, and it is considered a small guy in the sea.

More than half of the fish's body is a sharp spine that grows in front of the mouth. The sides of the spines are extremely sharp and have a jagged shape. When encountering prey, this fish will pounce on it in the thousands, stick its mouth into the body of the prey, and then twist its body desperately, tearing a larger wound.

In a world where magic is backward, the mouth of a giant ballista is a very good weapon material.

In this world, because the cost of hunting ballista is high, there is no one who has nothing to do to trouble them. The army's giant crossbow arrows, or spearheads, can be enchanted with metal and can be repaired repeatedly. And the mouth of the giant ballista is used as a weapon, if it is damaged, there is little point in repairing it.

"What are you panicking about, the fleet is full of ironclad ships, just drive away. A magician next to him scolded.

The leader of the mage group had already reported the information to the commander of the fleet at this time. The commander, on his part, immediately gave an order to take precautions.

Actually, it's not that difficult, if it's a wooden boat, it's still a little dangerous. The Giant Ballista does not attack metal ships, the only trouble being that it can fly short distances across the sea, for fear of hurting the sailors by jumping on deck.

The fleet didn't want to destroy these things, so they simply let the sailors temporarily go off the deck, leaving only fleshless metal golems on the deck. The ballista observes its prey with its eyes, and if you stay in the cover of the ballista, you will not be attacked by the ballista, and the ballista is not too sensitive to the bloody breath and will not go crazy.

Xia He saw that the fleet had no problem coping, so he continued to talk to Abigail about the magic arts.

There are thousands of ballistas, skimming the sea, most of them are still underwater, the ballista on the sea surface falls, and the water flies out, the scene is quite spectacular. After almost an hour or so, the schools of fish were left far behind the fleet. There were only a few unlucky ones left, because when flying over the battleship, their mouths were stuck in some deck buildings.

The alarm passed, and the people on the large and small battleships returned to their posts, and some magicians took the soldiers to catch the jammed giant ballista. This thing is ferocious, you have to kill it before you can pull it out, otherwise it will hurt people. Ballistae are to be confiscated, and on whose ship is counted as someone's thing.

Don't look at this fish, it can be sold for more than a gold coin, but it costs a lot of money to repair the damaged ship.

The magicians would exchange the fish for gold coins and hand them over to the family, leaving the ballista themselves to cut the materials. It's not as good as enchanted metal, but it's fun, and if you make magic equipment, it's worth a little more.

Magicians are also strange, and the magicians of this world, some of whom believe in the power of nature, will feel that the materials on the ballista are better than the enchanted metal, with natural attributes, which can make each piece of equipment have a unique personality.

For Taoist priests, this still makes some sense, but it is also a Taoist priest who has leisure time, and it is regarded as a study. Daomen who are really in the middle of the war will choose general equipment, things that can be manufactured in large quantities and replenished at any time. Your equipment has unique stats that may seem taller than generic equipment, but once lost, you can't replenish them.

The boat of the Xia River was at the back, but there were also nearly 100 giant crossbow fish.

The magicians came out and froze with ice magic, and then plunged their short swords into the back of the ballista's head. Abigail watched the magicians hunting, and then he was dissatisfied: "What do you say you left me here, how good it is to go to the sea to have fun, the last time I came out, I didn't get anything." ”

"What's the fun, just to go out and do coolies, you see. ”

Abigail looked at the mages on the Summer River fleet, one by one holding bottles and jars, using fast-drying gummy material to repair the damage caused by the giant ballista. One by one, they used magic to speed up the repair process, and sure enough, they were all coolies.

Moreover, the decomposition of the giant ballista has to rely on the magician and let the warrior get it, and the value is less than half or more.

Abigail looked at it, and sure enough, the next thing was quite boring, the magic warning of the Xia River fleet was on, and the mages were monitoring in three shifts. Most of the soldiers sleep in the cabins, but a quarter of them take turns to train. Battles on deck, battles in small spaces in the cabin, training all the time.

However, the purpose of this time is not training, the intensity is not so great, and it is necessary to save energy to deal with the half-elf army in Red Sea City.

The 6,000 soldiers sent by Xia He were scattered in seven boats, and the troop transport itself was also a ship carrying supplies, half of which had 3,000 people, and the rest were scattered on other warships. Under normal circumstances, it would all be placed on troop carriers, but this fleet in Xiahe does not have legends in charge, and it is not very daring to put people together.

The distance between the north and south of the Ice Maple Continent is quite large, and the straight-line distance from Rhodes Island in Asra to the Half-Elf Empire has exceeded 10,000 miles. The fleet will also stop and adjust, and it will take three thousand miles a day, four days, to reach the Red Sea City.

Xia He couldn't stare at it all day, he opened the magic array, and let Smith, the most idle person, guard it.

On the second day, Enslin suddenly came to look for Xia He.

"Asla, I have something to ask you about. ”

"Lord Enslin, you're so kind. ”

"I see that you have a new weapon on your new battleship, what are you doing?"

"That's it?" Xia He wondered, he was also experimental with that weapon, and he didn't know if it was useful, anyway, he went to the Half-Elf Empire, and he didn't plan to take it down in one fell swoop. He only sent a thousand elites.

"This is it. ”

"It's not very useful, it's just that the enemy is worried that the enemy has powerful flying warships that can be used for air attacks. It can only be fired once, and after firing, it takes time to reload the magic projectile. This thing fires tens of thousands of projectiles at a time, with different attributes, and there must be one that can break the enemy's defenses. "Of course Xia He didn't tell the truth, these magic projectiles have a little bit of the attribute of a sword pill, and they have an excellent effect on physical defense.

But without it, it's still a crazy weapon.

"How far is the attack?"

"Within twelve miles, the enemy flies too high, and he will definitely not be able to hit it. ”

"That's it? I look at that thing, there is a huge magic array down there, and the smaller ship can't fit it. ”

"The consumption is a little bigger, mainly for the pursuit of speed, the speed of this projectile is much higher than that of the magic cannon. Within twelve miles, it is instantaneous. ”

"More than twelve miles?"

"The magic attribute is declining too quickly, and the lethality really starts to decrease exponentially. ”

"I see, can you sell me this drawing?"

Xia He is strange, this is not a high-level weapon, he plans to test the attributes, and see if he can use it when attacking the low-level world in the future. In this Overworld, with this weapon, he can't make a name for himself.

"Your Excellency, it's not that I won't sell it, I don't even know how much it's worth. Xia He smiled bitterly.
