Chapter 204: Gripen Fleet
A group of warships resembled the three-masted medium-armed ships of the USS Manchester United and set sail slowly from the berthed state in the military harbor of the Second Sister Island in the Three Sisters Islands, numbering fourteen or fifteen ships.
The ships were uniformly equipped with the first standard ballista, each ship was controlled by thirty sailors, and twenty or thirty rough crossbowmen and spearmen, although the strength of the fleet was not remarkable in the eyes of the naval families of the Iron Islands or Dragonstone, but it was also a good naval combat power in the north.
These warships rest at the Three Sisters Military Port on weekdays, and are also responsible for patrolling the waters near Biting Bay.
It is also their task to arrest smuggling ships and to search for suspicious ships.
They also have a resounding regimental name, the Three Sisters Bay Coast Guard.
As soon as the Three Sisters Bay Coast Guard received the order from Lynn of the fishing village port, they did not hesitate to pack up and lead the team to sea.
Carry out the task of arming and monitoring the sea area outside the port of the old city.
However, this navy alone naturally could not trap Stannis's fleet in the old city harbor, so Lynn planned to make the Gripen fleet grow immediately.
With enough points, it's not a difficult thing for him.
On the same day, after Lynn finished lunch at the Lord's Mansion, he led the guards and rushed to his next destination, the ice-free deep-water military port on Second Sister Island.
Lynn reached the deck of the ferry, behind her, the east coast of the North shrunk into a long line, and the eldest sister island of the Three Sisters rose from the sea ahead.
A wisp of gray smoke wafted from the island ahead, a unique sight of the breweries on Changjie Island being busy.
After the long summer, the sales of ale seemed to be getting better and better, Lynn thought to herself.
With the paddling of a wooden paddle, the Three Sisters grew bigger and bigger. Lynn could even see the towering rocky silhouette of Changjie Island, the smoking ale distilleries and the sparse farmhouses that had been cultivated by the refugees of the Riverlands.
The ferry continued to split the waves, splashing the water like outstretched wings.
The bow skimmed the pier of Changjie Island and continued along the coastline of the archipelago, Nijie Island, a military island not developed for ordinary residents, with Lynn's naval military base and a military camp hidden in the woods in the middle of the island.
The few legions that were not stationed in the process of repairing would be arranged here by Lynn by sea ship.
Now temporarily resting on the second sister island are a mixed infantry battalion of the Tiger Regiment, and a heavy cavalry battalion, numbering nearly 1,500, who have been left behind to rest after assisting the Shifu Commander in the capture of Winterfell.
Lynn leaned his weight against the railing, listening to the heavy drumming of the oarsman, the fluttering of the sails and the squeak of the wooden oars, and he couldn't help but recall the journey to rescue Er Ya in the river.
I don't know how Arya is doing in Braavos on the other side of the Narrow Sea.
Everything was like yesterday, Lynn sighed.
The mountains of Changjie Island are getting shorter and shorter, and the Erjie Island is getting closer and closer. The sails were singing, the drums were beating, the oars were paddling smoothly, and after a while, the harbor of Erjie Island appeared in front of them.
The harbor is empty, with only a few ferries, moored and swaying by the breakwater.
The sailors of the ferryboat collected the sails and marched only by oars. While tethering the rope, the captain walked up to Lynn, "My lord, do you need to go ashore?"
Lynn shook her head slightly, and ordered everyone to wait on deck, while she turned and slipped into the ship's cabin.
Bite!
[Welcome the host to the blaster system]
Opening the system options, Lynn went straight to the product shopping column.
Light brig - 60 points.
Medium three-masted armed boat - 100 points.
This is an option that has been unlocked before.
As for the newly unlocked battleship, the Heavy Three-masted Oared Gunship, Lynn didn't even know that it was unlocked at system level 5 or 6.
In fact, there is no essential difference between these three types of armed ships except for their size.
But then again, in this era of hand-to-hand combat in naval warfare, the size of a ship is actually equivalent to combat power, and comparing the size of a ship means an increase in load-bearing, and carrying more oars and crossbowmen.
Lynn's gaze skimmed over these three types of armed ships, and his eyes locked on the new type of warship that had only been unlocked at level 7 of the system, a sail warship born purely for naval warfare.
This is a typical three-masted galleon, equipped with a spinnaker at the tail to help steer, upgrading the three-masted to a three-and-a-half-masted, oarless sail battleship, this is an epoch-making sea ship, Lynn's eyes are a little fiery.
Although the cost is as high as 600 points, which is twice that of a heavy three-masted armed ship, and the load is only slightly higher than the former, the advantage of this oarless warship is vividly reflected in terms of speed.
To put it simply, it is the load of a heavy armed ship and the speed of a light armed ship.
Unbeatable battleship, Lynn exclaimed.
But the addition of a steering jib, this is an advantage that the huge and bulky heavy armed ship cannot match.
Nothing to hesitate to click buy.
System panel.
【Current Available Points: 378792】
[Current experience points: 1657191.1/10 million]
With the continuous redemption of more than 37w points, the numbers rolled up until the time of 31w8792 points stopped.
100 real sail warships appeared like dumplings, and in a moment, the originally empty port dock of Erjie Island was almost full.
Lynn, who returned to the deck from the cabin, looked left and right in the sea breeze, and couldn't help but clench his fists as he watched the huge battleship mooring.
The Gripen fleet was truly born at this moment.
The fleet was anchored in the harbor and was naturally organized into ten battle columns, each consisting of ten warships.
The new sail warships have an incomparably large midsail, a low foredeck and a huge stern, a thick hull, multiple decks, and more than three mainmasts.
According to the configuration of 150 to 300 crew members, Lynn equipped the fleet with a minimum number of 1w5000 people, including 5000 sailors, 5000 crossbowmen and sword and shield men, and 50 for each of the three classes of warship.
Lynn manned the battleship with an adequate number of sailors.
This is because each team on the deck of the battleship has five giant scorpion crossbows that are comparable in shape to dragon slaying ballistas, and each of these giant crossbows requires at least 2 to 3 people before they can be activated by coordinated operation.
Hundreds of sail warships with a displacement of about 500 to 1,000 tons, with the equipment given by Lynn, are busy at the moment, one after another with flags waving and hanging sails, rippling slightly in the deep-water harbor of Erjie Island, at first glance it looks like ten thousand families in the water.
When the neat battleships lined up under the guidance of Lynn's ferry, began to retract their anchors and move forward in the waves, the waves rolled up like giant whales lurking in the deep sea.
Melisandre and Dany stood side by side on the wooden tower of Fishing Village Harbour, looking out over the Three Sisters on their way to the Old Town.
The red-robed woman ignored the sea breeze and ruffled her red hair.
She wanted to see how Lynn's Gripen fleet was on par with the Dragonstone fleet.
