Chapter 146: Magic Battleships and Fiefdoms

Outside Longshou Fort, a magic warship more than 200 meters long and 30 meters wide, hanging the sign of the Nine Rings White Tower, easily broke through the solid ice, and sailed towards Longshou Fort without hurrying, and finally stopped at a distance of dozens of meters from Longshou Fort.

"Is this the legendary magic battleship? so majestic!" Karl said to Luo Sheng with a shocked face as he looked at the giant ship in front of him that exceeded the limits of his cognition.

In the final battle of Snow Dragon Pass, the Bright Sect not only dispatched Monroe, a gold-level warrior, but also sent the black and white thorns under the command of the Bright Adjudicator of the Turin Sect. After Luo Sheng solved Monroe, he cooperated with Carl to find out the two of them, killed them on the spot, and avenged Uncle Buck. After fulfilling his wish and letting go of his knot, Carl officially became Luo Sheng's brother and subordinate, and followed Luo Sheng.

"This 'Iceberg Smasher' is one of the strongest magic warships under the command of the Nine-Ring White Tower, and of course it is majestic. Looking at this huge ship, which is even comparable in size to an aircraft carrier on Earth, Luo Sheng said with a smile.

This 'Iceberg Crusher' is a special magic warship specially designed by the Nine Rings White Tower for sailing in the icy seas, and it is also one of the most powerful warships. Even in the coldest of ice, this powerful magical warship can easily break through the ice and sail normally. In terms of combat effectiveness, if this battleship is fully firepowered, it can completely turn the current Dragon Head Fort into a ruin.

This time, the Nine Rings White Tower sent the 'Iceberg Crusher' to the Snow Dragon Pass, mainly to transport the mission personnel and various materials and materials to expand the magic set of the Snow Dragon Pass. According to the agreement reached between the Nine Rings White Tower and Crown Prince Raymond, after repelling the barbarians and the Holy See of Light, the Nine Rings White Tower and the Elson Kingdom officially established diplomatic relations and sent envoys to each other, and the magic tower of Snow Dragon Pass will also be under the control of the Nine Rings White Tower, becoming one of the important strongholds of the Nine Rings White Tower in Elson.

Because the Snow Dragon Pass is on the front line of monitoring and defending against the Holy See of Light, the Nine Rings White Tower attaches great importance to the magical defense of the Snow Dragon Pass. Although the upper echelons of the two sides signed a peace agreement, with the style of the Bright Sect, they don't know when they will turn their faces and deny people, so the defense of the Xuelong Pass side must be strengthened.

In order to guard against the attack of the Holy See of Light, the original magic tower of the golden level of the Snow Dragon Pass was far from meeting the needs, so this time the Nine Rings White Tower specially mobilized a large number of precious materials, wanting to upgrade the magic tower of the Snow Dragon Pass into a legendary-level magic tower to resist the future invasion of the Holy See of Light.

Of course, in addition to transporting people and supplies, the Nine Rings White Pagoda sent iceberg crushers at the end of February, when the sea water has not completely thawed, which actually has the meaning of demonstration.

Although after the peace agreement between Douglas and Pope Benedict II, the Holy See of Light has begun to shrink its power in Elson and withdraw its personnel from the surface, this does not mean that their influence has completely disappeared. A large number of local aristocratic forces that have cooperated with the Holy See of Light and opposed Crown Prince Raymond are some because of their beliefs, and some are afraid that the crown prince will settle accounts after the autumn, so they are not very willing to see the crown prince ascend the throne and the White Pagoda of the Nine Rings stationed.

Although these forces led by the Benson family did not have the courage to really rise up to resist, they still resisted the implementation of the agreement between the crown prince and the Nine-Ring White Pagoda in private, spread unfavorable remarks against the Nine-Ring White Pagoda, and even stirred up an undercurrent of opposition to the Nine-Ring White Pagoda. Although the real strength of these forces is not very large, their influence is definitely not small.

In this case, although the Nine Rings White Tower will not directly attack the Elson Kingdom, it is inevitable to show its muscles and deter opposing forces. The Iceberg Crusher, which is able to sail in the ice and has extremely strong combat effectiveness, has become the best tool for demonstration. As for the effect, just look at the shocked and restless aristocratic private army in Longshou Fort.

"Look at this magic battleship, and think about our Elson sailors, it's really incomparable!When can we have such a magic battleship, it would be great!" Carl said with some emotion as he looked at the iceberg smasher.

During this period of time, while Carl's strength has increased rapidly, his vision and insight have also been constantly improving, especially after replacing Alyssa and being responsible for liaising with Lennon, Carl has learned a lot of things outside the Elson Kingdom from Lennon, and has also gained some understanding of the situation of the entire continent and various powerful forces.

However, the more insightful he looked, the more Carl discovered Elson's backwardness and weakness. In terms of warships, although Elson is a coastal country and has a long coastline in the North Sea, the Kingdom of Elson has almost no navy. The most powerful battle on the water is none other than the kind of river warships that used to escort convoys. No matter the size, load capacity, or combat ability, it is completely incomparable to this magic battleship in front of you. If the two sides do go to war, it will probably only take a very short time for the Iceberg Crusher to send Elson's entire fleet to the bottom.

"I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have much interest in getting a magic warship like this, but in the future, after the foundation of our territory is laid, we can consider getting a smaller magic warship. It's just how to keep the magic battleship moving, not a decoration, but something that needs our efforts. Luo Sheng patted Carl on the shoulder and said with a smile.

The iceberg crusher in front of him is one of the strategic weapons of the Nine Rings White Tower, and even if it is placed decades after the surging of the demon tide, it cannot be considered weak. Therefore, it is basically unrealistic to want to buy a magic battleship of this level.

However, it is not easy to buy a magic battleship of the Iceberg Smasher, but the second-level magic battleship, the Nine Rings White Tower, is not so important. With the relationship between Luo Sheng and the Nine Ring White Tower, after being promoted to the Golden Rank in the future, it should be no problem to buy one or two, or even several.

However, compared to the price at the time of purchase, the real price of the magic battleship lies in its use and maintenance. Each magic ship requires a large team of spellcasters to master various magic circles. And sailing and fighting, it is necessary to consume precious mana crystals or the mana of the caster. As for routine maintenance and facility repairs, it requires a professional spellcaster.

In other words, without a sufficient reserve of mana crystals, and without a loyal, reliable, massive, and professionally trained team of spellcasters, a powerful magic warship can only be used as an ornament. Therefore, in the Ymir Continent, only some of the top forces can afford to raise magic warships, and other ordinary forces, even ordinary countries like the Elson Kingdom, will not raise and consume amazing magic warships without urgent need.

And for Rasen, things like mana crystals are not a big problem. In his previous life, Luo Sheng personally excavated and explored a lot of ruins, treasures, and half-planes, and he had collected information and had a general understanding of more. These have not yet been discovered, or because there is less time, the relics and treasures that have not been opened are enough to provide Luo Sheng with sufficient wealth in the future, so Luo Sheng is not too worried about money.

What really gave Luo Sheng a headache was the problem of how to recruit a more reliable and powerful team of spellcasters. In order to build a force, people from all walks of life are one of the fundamental factors. At present, although Luo Sheng is about to obtain a fief and become a real nobleman, the team under his command is still very weak. Except for Carl, a special talent who can serve as the intelligence director, Luo Sheng can only gather some good fighters from the elite of Snow Dragon Pass. As for talents such as internal affairs management and business management, Luo Sheng has no reserves at all, let alone a more high-end spellcaster power.

Therefore, if Luo Sheng wants to have a magic battleship in the future, or even a magic battleship fleet, he must recruit a group of spellcasters with good strength as soon as possible. And for Luo Sheng, who has not really controlled the forces of one side, this is a rather serious problem.

"It's still Luo Sheng's cow!" Karl said with a thumbs up, smiling. If someone else said so, Carl would only think that the other party was bragging, but along the way, Luo Sheng has created too many miracles, and even the incredible thing of killing the golden rank in the bronze rank Luo Sheng has already done it, and buying a magic warship in the future is not a strange thing.

"But Luo Sheng, don't you really think about changing your fiefdom? In a place like Beilu, even if there is a fleet and magic warships, it is difficult to develop!" After praising Luo Sheng, Carl remembered the fief Luo Sheng had chosen, and couldn't help but persuade again.

After repelling the barbarians, in view of Luo Sheng's amazing achievements, news came from the royal capital, preparing to crown Luo Sheng as a viscount, and allowing Luo Sheng to choose a fief.

Originally, when they heard the news, Alyssa and Carl, who was a retainer of Luo Sheng's family, were very happy, and they were both enthusiastic about preparing materials for Luo Sheng from all over the Elson Kingdom, wanting to help Luo Sheng choose a good fief. But what everyone didn't expect was that Luo Sheng rejected Alyssa and Carl's suggestion and chose the fief in the deserted North Continent.

In fact, it is not entirely accurate to say that Hokuriku is completely deserted. Although the earth-shattering battle of the Arcane Empire at the beginning turned the vast Hokuriku east of the Dragonspine Mountains and north of the North Sea into a Jedi polluted by magic and countless creatures perished, after these three thousand years of natural purification and restoration, the environment in some places on the edge of the Hokuriku has gradually improved, and it has become a place where humans can live.

In fact, along the northern coast opposite Dragon's Head Fort, there are a number of Elsen settlements scattered around. These settlements are also the main basis for Elson to include a considerable part of the North Continent in his own map. After all, Hokuriku has not been inhabited for thousands of years, and it can be regarded as a terra nullius. Now that the exiles of the Elson Kingdom have settled here, these lands are naturally considered the territory of the Elson Kingdom.

However, the Kingdom of Elson does not attach importance to the lands obtained by these 'map openings'. After all, Hokuriku is extremely difficult to survive, and the population is extremely limited, making it extremely difficult to develop. In addition, there are fish-man activities in the North Sea, and it is very inconvenient to communicate with Elson itself, so it is basically considered to be a place of alienation. No one thought that Luo Sheng, a hot celebrity, would actually choose the fief there.

"Don't worry, I have my own plans. Luo Sheng shook his head and said with a smile.
