Chapter 608: Ghosts and Gods

Everyone was beaming, because this time there was a profit, although the previous attack on the enemy consumed a lot of supplies, but the three battleships also gained a lot.

Everyone can get a little bit of money, and there are some other things, the Duke's Palace is not counted as trophies, but some things that are not of high value and are not recycled in the Dukedom.

These things were distributed on the spot, such as some alcohol, clothing, and armor parts that had no recycling value.

For the nobles, it is better to take these things back and sell them later, and it is better to distribute them directly to their subordinates.

And for a soldier, at sea, a bottle of wine could be worth several silver coins.

It's good to drink it yourself or give it away, most people will choose to drink it all, of course, it's combat readiness now, and the captain will definitely not allow them to drink.

Then there is some food, of course, the rice that can be stored will not be distributed, but there is a lot of fruit on the ship, although it can be stored for a long time, but it is impossible to bring it back.

Besides, the dukedom has always not recycled these things, so they will be distributed to everyone.

It doesn't sound like much, but on a battleship, there are more than 800 sailors and sailors, and each of them can share more than one gold coin, and the sailors participating in the battle can share more, probably with a value of nearly 5,000 gold coins.

These are not rewards, they are the benefits that the captain gives to everyone.

The reward on the Duke's side is the dividends of the real loot this time. Excluding the income of the captains and magicians, these soldiers and sailors can share nearly 10,000 gold coins.

Everyone knows very well that if it weren't for the big difference in weapons, the income this time would be much less.

Although most of the naval battles are solved remotely, it is not uncommon to engage in broadside battles, and as long as the enemy is not weak and pitiful, there will be casualties.

And the duke's law is not low for the bereavement of the dead and wounded, these must be deducted before the spoils of war are counted.

So, it can only be down to luck.

Of course, the income this time is not very big in Bering's opinion, and some warships are worth millions of gold coins. If one is captured in a naval battle, it will be a great fortune to tear it down.

If these three battleships can be towed back, it will be a lot of money, but unfortunately they can't do it, so they can only be sunk.

"My lord, are we going to continue south?"

The magic net mage in charge of driving the ship came to ask for advice, and Bering said, "Always find land, or islands." If you go back now, the mission will not be completed enough. ”

"However, our magic projectiles have consumed one-third, and in the event of another big war, there may be insufficient numbers. ”

"Then slow down, we have molds with us, and we can make them in the lab. "Bering is also a wake-up call, one-third of the weapons consumed, which is not a small number. However, a large number of raw coal crystals have been obtained, and the energy of the battleship does not have to worry.

Of course, the magic cannon is fine, because it consumes magic gems. This time, there are some magic gems to be added, and there is no need to worry about the six-pointed star airship.

The battleship slowed down, but this time, in addition to the flying golem, the six-pointed star airship was also put in charge of the realm, and the number of members on the airship increased to eight.

When the battleship had sailed nearly a thousand miles, land appeared ahead.

Bering used the astrolabe for the first time to create coordinates. This is a very unexpected thing, unless there is a mainland ahead, if it is an island, the battleship may not be able to touch it if it is deflected at a slight angle.

In the southern seas, there have been adventurers since ancient times, and if there is a continent at this distance, it will not be marked all the time, it should be an island.

If it's just an island, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is no one, and the appearance of the noble warship of the Holy Thunder Empire is a problem.

The warship sailed around the coastline more than 30 miles away, and the six-pointed star airship went to reconnoitre.

The news came back quickly, and according to the detection of the airship, this is at least a large island, five hundred miles away in length and width. There was human activity on the islands, the warships were driven in the direction of the east, and there was a port in the western region.

There's a port, and there's a city.

The six-pointed star airship searched hard for the target, and finally saw a familiar symbol, that is, the noble badge of the Holy Thunder Empire on the sunken battleship.

The six-pointed star airship has a special detection device that determines that there are no legendary powerhouses in the city.

However, the six-pointed star airship still didn't dare to approach, because the city already had city defense artillery, and if there were a few more epics, it would still be a big threat.

When Bering heard this, he did not let the battleship dock, and the six-pointed star airship continued to reconnoitre, and in the depths of the island, there was also a large area of flat land between the mountains, all of which had been developed and had farmland. It is estimated that the food of this island can be self-sufficient, otherwise it would be too wasteful to build a city.

Where there is no ability to plant, they rely on foreign food to survive, and once the supply line is cut off, they can only rely on the magic array to transport food. Even those who have the skin of a small world in Xiahe can't waste it like this.

His teleportation array only transports high-grade supplies.

Bering thought about it, there was no point in destroying farmland, because looking at the scale of the city, the nobles of the Holy Thunder Empire should have been entrenched here for a long time and had accumulated a lot of food.

The grain depots in this world are basically all magical buildings, and even processed grain can be stored for decades. If it is not shelled, it will be stored for a longer time.

I just don't know if this island produces coal or not, and if there is coal, it is a perfect base.

Usually the Arcane Empire's grain depot will set the storage time to ten years, and then it will have to be disposed of. There is also a part of the reserve, which is grain that has not been shelled, so that it will not be stored for a long time, and it will not reduce the nutrition and taste. Ten years later, eighty percent of the food shortages that have been disposed of will be replenished by grain that has not been shelled.

In fact, the food of the Arcane Empire is inexhaustible, with the assistance of magical machinery to plant, there is no problem of drought, at most it suffers from some unforeseen disasters, such as earthquakes, hail, and locust plagues are not so terrible because of the existence of magicians.

In the city, there is a magic tower, and after the six-pointed star airship detected it, it never approached it again.

The powerful magic tower, even without a legendary mage, may attack hundreds of miles away, although it is only a possibility, but the six-pointed star airship does not want to risk it. The battleship carried such a one, and in case of a crash, the battleship would lose its long-range reconnaissance capability and would be in extreme danger.

The six-pointed star airship, continuing to the south, in a mountainous area, the airship saw that it was covered by white fog below, and there was nothing to be seen within a radius of dozens of miles.

In the white mist, there is a large area of magical buildings, interfering with the detection of the airship.

When Bering heard this, he ordered the airship to return, this time the people she brought were all used for regular adventures, and the enemy now has a city and a magic tower, which shows that there are a lot of magicians.

The 600 people went up to deliver food.

The six-pointed star airship caught up with the battleship, landed, changed mages, and carried a magic sealing box.

Then the six-pointed star airship set out again, flew to the area covered by white fog, opened the sealing box, and threw down the talismans inside. The talisman turned into a ghost god one by one, and the level was not high, that is, the appearance of the fifteenth level. However, these ghosts are not small ghosts that can only exist for a few days, and can act for years.

Most of the talismans were dropped in this area, and then the six-pointed star airship dropped some in other places as well.

These ghost runes are not allowed to be used unless they encounter a worthy target. Now that they encounter it, they will spread it, and the ghosts and gods will not do any destructive work, just collect information and wait for their own people to recover it.

These ghost runes spread, Bering's mission was completed, and the battleship traveled more than six hundred miles to the west, detecting the western edge of the island, although there is still a protruding part, but it will not exceed a hundred miles, this island is very large and has strategic value.

The rest will be handed over to the ghosts and gods, and when they turn around, Stormhorn will naturally send people to collect the ghosts and gods that have been scattered.

All the restored talismans recorded the information that the ghosts and gods had seen.

The intelligence gathering of Cape Storm has always been very efficient and professional.

Bering bypassed the western part of the island, and the six-pointed star airship began to warn, and two warships chased after it, the size of the battleship was about one hundred and twenty meters, and it was not an old-fashioned iron ship, but an all-magic warship.

When Bering heard this, he immediately ordered to speed up, break away with all his strength, and drive north.

At the same time, she ordered the six-pointed star airship to block and harass the two warships at high altitude. The six-pointed star airship immediately activated the warm-up of the magic cannon, and at an altitude of three thousand meters, it fired at the tail of a magic battleship, trying to break the rudder.

The elemental ball flew down silently, and on the magic battleship, a scorching light lit up, hitting the elemental ball accurately, and then hundreds of rays of light shot on the elemental ball.

The elemental orb finally couldn't maintain its form, and it disintegrated in the air, and it was completely dissipated less than two hundred meters away from the magic battleship.

On the back deck of the battleship, a hatch cracked, revealing a platform underneath with a monster crawling on it. When the platform was raised, the monster roared wildly and spread its wings slightly.

"Damn, it's the dragon beast knight, let's go!" The mages on the airship have been replaced, and one of them is a great mage in his twenties, who happens to know this thing.

The dragon beast didn't look big, more than six meters long, and its wings were not fully extended, but you could already see the magic patterns on it. Only a few of these magic patterns were innate, and most of them were refined by magicians later. The flying ability of such a magical beast will not be too bad.

And the monsters can sprint for a short distance, relying on the means of stimulating the bloodline.

The six-pointed star airship did not need to turn around, it naturally changed its course, and did not dare to attack the warships at sea again. The giant magic musket, turning the muzzle, shot at the dragon beast.

In front of the magic projectile, an ice pick flew and exploded, and the projectile no longer knew where it went.

"It's the Epic Mage, keep attacking, don't let him be idle!" said the mage commanding the battleship hurriedly. The Epic Mage jumped on the back of the drake, which flew vertically in the sea breeze.

Seeing this gesture, the people on the six-pointed star airship became nervous.
