Chapter 131: The Nord Warship

Whale Bay, or the new Whale Hunt Bay. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ancient Whale Hunt Bay has gradually become a gathering place equivalent to a city with the opening of trade routes. Such a place is no longer suitable for the Nords to continue their ancient hunting customs.

In particular, the custom of hunting whales and sea monsters is related to the existence of the Nord fleet. And the problem of the Nord's fleet cannot be exposed to other races. It was a military secret, so for the sake of safety, the Nords had to set up their own whale hunting and return places in other locations.

As Hiko, who was personally involved in the renovation of the entire Whale Bay, he naturally knew where this place was, and this was the destination of his trip.

It was a canyon that appeared under the influence of the tides. The constant tides and waves throughout the year have caused a huge crack in the cliff that rises above the sea level like a solid wall. And as this rift deepens, it becomes a natural bay shelter. Even the largest Leviathan ships can sail in and out of this rift unharmed. Not to mention its depth, it can accommodate the entire fleet of ships.

It can be said that there is no better place to stay. Although most of the time, the ships of the Nord fleet had to drift at sea. But they always need a base on land, which is used for the maintenance of ships and the reconditioning of personnel. Because not all ships and crews can stay on the sea all the time. Seawater corrosion of ships is secondary. The dragon whale skeleton is the keel of the ship, and the ship's resistance to the corrosion of the sea is far higher than that of other races of ships. The real crux of the problem is the psychological problems of the crew.

Holding on to a boat for a long time will suffocate people. Especially the pirates are extremely energetic. A day or two may be fine, but a month or two is not too much of a problem. But if the time is long, even the Nords with physical endurance beyond ordinary people will not be able to bear it.

Get off the boat and relax on safe land. That's the real way to solve the problem. And this newly built port is undoubtedly the most suitable place.

Safe. And it's close enough to the town of North Wind, a city that has begun to take shape. It can not only facilitate their trading, but also give them a place to relax. Of course, such a nice place will not go unguarded. And what Hiko is looking for are these guys who guard the port.

From a hollow cave in the edge of the cliff, Hiko found a long, narrow horn with a spiral pattern. It was a horn made of the teeth of a giant sea beast that made a sound unlike any other horn. And when Hiko began to blow it vigorously, an unusually high-pitched sound suddenly pierced the sky, and then drifted far away towards the depths of the canyon.

Shortly after the sound sounded, a muffled trumpet came back from the depths of the canyon. As the sound got closer, Hiko soon saw a wooden boat waddling from the depths of the canyon and directly docked at the foot of the cliff where he was.

"Who's blowing the horn of the sea beast? This year's deal is over. Don't you know it's time for us to close?"

"Kun, is that you?" Hearing this big grin, Hiko immediately shouted at the foot of the mountain. And as he called out, he began to speed down the cliff face.

Although the steepness of the cliff was already a thrilling level that almost went straight up and down, it was not a dangerous thing for Hiko, who had already mastered the subtle use of the power of the Big Dipper God Fist. So soon, he appeared in front of the visitor and waved his hand at him enthusiastically.

This is Hiko's way of greeting familiar people. But seeing his appearance, the person who came directly showed a stunned look.

"Hiko, why are you here. And you came down from the mountain in this way?Wait, what's in the back of your waist?Weapons?Aren't you incapable of training as a Nord warrior?"

After a series of questions, Ranghiko almost didn't know which question to answer first. But soon he stopped dwelling on the subject. Since there are so many questions, then simply do not answer. So immediately, he walked over to the person who came, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed at him.

"Kun, I didn't expect you to pick me up. I thought it would be Ou's crooked old man again?"

"The old man is retired, and he says he's going back to teach his grandson, and he doesn't have time to mess around with our group of sons!" grinned, and the young man named Kun replied to Hiko. Then he gave Hiko a big hug warmly.

"I didn't expect you to come here. You know, it's been two years since we last separated!"

Kun and Hiko are childhood friends, and of course, this relationship does not last long. Because Kun is a real man of the sea, from birth to the present, he has spent most of his life on a boat. And the time that Hiko and he really spent together was only the two months when he went to sea with his father.

But there is a saying that is called tilting the lid as it is. That's what happened to Yan and Kun. Although they didn't get along for a long time, it took so long to meet again. When Hiko saw him, he couldn't stop rejoicing in his heart, and grinned to justify his innocence.

"Don't blame me, I've been here for you. It's just that the last time I came here, Ou told me that you went to sea with everyone!"

Hearing Yan's explanation, Kun immediately laughed. He has a deep friendship with Hiko, and it is impossible to blame him for such a trivial matter. So immediately he slapped him the back.

"There is really no way, last year, the captain said that he wanted to do a big ticket, and even I, the ship repairer, brought it over. It was only in the last two months that we returned from the Great North Sea Route. By the way, what are you doing here? You can't come to me!"

"If I had come to you on a special trip, I wouldn't have blown the horn of the sea beast!" gave him a blank look, and Hiko didn't have any intention of hiding it from him, so he directly told him his intentions. "I'm here to find the head of your port. I need a big ship to help me do something right now, it's very desperate!"

"A big ship, how big a ship do you want?" didn't ask Hiko for a specific reason, but directly asked about his needs. Although it has been two years since I saw him, Kun still knows Hiko. He knew that his little playmate had been a shrewd, calm and intelligent person since he was a child. So I'm not worried that this is his nonsense.

"I want a big ship that can help me stop the Imperial warships. At the very least, it needs to be a dragon whale battleship. ”

"Dragon Whale Battleship!" Hearing the specific request, Kun couldn't help but groan.

The main battleships of the Nords can basically be divided into four classes. The first stage is the Sea Shark warship. The warship made of a large sea shark with a body length of more than 20 meters as the keel is the most maneuverable and common type of ship among the Nord warships. Because big sharks are actually really common. They weren't rare dragonborns or gods, they were just ordinary sea beasts. And such a sea beast is really not much of a problem for the people of the Raging Tide tribe to hunt.

And one level higher, there are relatively few big whale ships. Ships made of the bones of sea whales ranging from thirty to forty meters were the main force in the Nord fleet. Because the sea whale is the darling of the king of the furious tides, Berronde, they are born with the ability to control the waves. And using their skeletons as keels also allows the Nord whale ships to better ride the waves.

It can be said that the big ship of sea whales is already a very good warship. And the only ones that can surpass it in terms of performance are super warships built by dragon whales with dragon blood and deep sea monster Leviathans.

Dragon whales, as the name suggests, are sea beasts that are a hybrid of real dragons such as sea whales and sea dragons. Because this sea beast inherits the blood of the dragon, it is even larger than ordinary sea whales in size, and it is also stronger in ability. The sea whale can only control the waves, while the dragon whale behemoth has evolved to the point where it can create and control the angry tide.

The warships made by the Nords from the bones of dragon whales have also inherited this ability of dragon whales to a certain extent. It can be said that when the dragon whale warship sails on the sea, it will definitely not be troubled by any wind and waves. It can run rampant on the sea and be at ease.

Gu was able to obtain a dragon whale ship at that price, which was actually a profitable business. Because the hunt of dragon whales is not so easy.

The Raging Tides follow an ancient custom that they only hunt an old dragon whale every three years. The Nord dragonwhale ships were basically hunted and built by the people of the Raging Tides tribe. It's scarce and expensive. It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that there were really few people among the Nords who could pay the corresponding price. This kind of good thing can't be Gu at all.

The dragon whale ship is almost invincible on the sea. Even the two behemoths of empire and kingdom can only be compared to the three-masted warship that takes shipbuilding technology to the extreme, and the giant ship of magical energy supported by alchemy. But even this dragon whale ship is not the most powerful creation of the Raging Tide Clan. The most powerful of the Raging Tide tribe is the Leviathan Giant Ship built from the bones of the deep-sea monster Leviathan.

Leviathan is a true godborn bloodline. Unlike the Murderous Narwhal, a sea beast whose bloodline has been so thin that it is impossible to see, the Leviathan possesses the purest bloodline of the Glacier Splitter.

The first Leviathan was undoubtedly a natural demigod sea monster. Although the descendants of the Leviathan do not have the power of the demigod level like the original Leviathan, there is no doubt that the existence of the legendary realm exists. They are born with the ability to manipulate cold currents and thunder, and coupled with the terrifying size of this giant beast, it is not an existence that ordinary people can deal with at all.

Even the Raging Tides only possess three giant ships made of Leviathan, which is enough to make the entire Nord fleet a worthy supremacy of the seas.
