Chapter 144: Pegasus VS Dragon Eagle
As one of the leading members of the board of directors of the Eastern Continent Trading Company, Albert's status and wealth, he would not have participated in a small opening ceremony if he had not casually made a promise at the banquet that day, and was particularly interested in the merchandise sold by the Red Rose Company.
However, he has been annoyed by some things lately, and he needs to come out to relax, so he is still here today.
When he got out of the carriage with his female companion, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. A high curtain stood in front of him, and Piccardelli Street was filled with many people, many of whom were of such high standing.
Is this a temporary exclusion?
Albert was stunned for a moment, daring to be so lazy about the invited guests, wouldn't the Red Rose Firm be afraid that all the guests would be gone? After all, they were just a newly opened company, and if it weren't for the attractive goods they were selling, it might not be possible to attract so many people today.
Sure enough, some rich and powerful people took a look at it and left, Albert looked at it roughly for a while, and then was thinking about whether to leave too, when he suddenly heard a different kind of exclamation from the crowd.
The curtain slowly rolled up, and a building that had never existed before appeared in front of them.
The gray-white marble tiles pasted on the walls make this two-story building look neat and simple, revealing delicacy and elegance. The crystal clear giant floor-to-ceiling windows occupy almost the entire wall, such an architectural style has never been seen in the Demon Continent.
Albert couldn't help but secretly praise that when he returned, he would definitely have to renovate one of these windows.
There is no text on the top of the store except for the logo of a red rose, which makes Albert stunned again, this company style is really unique.
Stepping on the carpet printed with the red rose pattern, Albert finally saw the small and delicate clock in the delicate glass counter, but the price of the sign below made him slightly stunned.
888 Golden Dragon
"So expensive!" Albert muttered quietly.
"Time is money, sir. "A goblin in a white shirt, a black waistcoat, and a red bow tie walked over.
Use a goblin as a clerk...... Albert had nothing to say about it.
"With this pocket watch, you have control over your time, something that was not possible even with money in the past, but now the Red Rose Comptoir has made it a reality. ”
The white-gloved goblin took the clock out of the glass case and respectfully handed it over.
......
Perhaps impressed by the goblin's short and powerful words, Albert did not hesitate to buy a pocket watch.
The women's watch and clothing store was on the second floor, and it was not convenient for the men to go up, so when the female companion went upstairs, Albert was soon invited to a lounge, where he saw many acquaintances.
A few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, talking about the style of the shop from the pocket watch, and then about the building.
Speaking of this, they couldn't help but remember that this was the first shop to open on Piccadelley Street.
They had to be surprised when the other people's houses were only halfway built, some had just laid the foundations, and the Red Rose's shop had already been renovated and opened early.
How did the Red Rose shop come to work so early? After the fire, many people abandoned the flammable wood materials and chose to use stone and mud, so the houses could only be built more slowly, could it be that the Red Rose Firm hired a lot of craftsmen?
However, they did not see a trace of stone masonry on this building, which is a bit strange.
"Mr. Albert, Mr. Bellamy...... I'm glad that a few of you are here today. George came over after receiving all the guests.
"Mr. George, may I ask what materials this house is made of?" After a few small talks, Albert immediately asked the doubts in his mind.
"Hehe!" finally someone asked about this, and George was immediately shaken and said with a smile, "It's all made of cement." ”
"Cement, what is this?" the crowd in the lounge immediately became interested.
George explained the use and efficacy of cement in detail, and finally added, "Cement is sold in the newly built Shilong cement factory outside the city, and if you need it, you can go there to buy it." ”
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, if cement is really so magical, then they will definitely buy a large number of them.
Now that most of the foggy city has been destroyed by fire, and there is a time when construction is needed everywhere, this is definitely a good opportunity to make a fortune.
After thinking about it for a while, several people in the lounge had already made up their minds......
******
Looking at the tiny buildings below with the cold sea breeze blowing in his face, Nelson lifted his wind-blown hat.
He is now on an airship, carrying out a very bold plan - to bomb the tulip warships entrenched along the coast of Dragonheart.
No one believed that he would succeed, but there was no other way.
The shipping lanes have been blocked for more than a month, maritime trade has come to a complete halt, and the Royal Navy, which has suffered huge losses, is simply unable to go out to meet the battle, and if this situation continues, it may be that Dragonheart will lose its status as a maritime power from now on.
Somehow had to be found to drive out the tulip fleet, so Nelson had such an idea on a whim.
The gas filled in the airship airbag has long been studied by those alchemists of the Royal Alchemy Society, and it is equipped with a rune demon motive. Although the airship had not been built for a long time, it was immediately thrown into the war.
Nelson picked up his goggles and saw the tulip ships cruising at the mouth of the Tyme, and motioned to the soldiers on the airship to get ready.
At this time, several white dots suddenly rose from the sea.
Pegasus Knight!Nelson's pupils shrank.
The airship's airbag is made of a special dragon skin, which is sturdy but still afraid of attack, and the alchemists have repeatedly stressed that they must avoid any accidents, because a little spark can cause the gas in the airbag to explode.
So what now?
Thankfully, Nelson had already taken this into account.
Tulips have Pegasus Knights, the Rhine Kingdom has the famous Manticore, and the Dragon's Heart Kingdom also has its own flying class, the Dragon Eagle Royal Praetorian Guard.
Compared to Pegasus, the Dragon Eagle is larger, more agile, and has sharp hook claws, plus the advantage of fighting at home, so he brought more Dragon Eagles this time than the Tulip Navy's Pegasus Knights.
When the Pegasus knights, dressed in leather armor and armed with bows and crossbows, flew towards them, the dragon eagle guards hidden in the clouds immediately rushed down.
Since the invention of the Demon Crystal Weapon, there has been no such air battle on the Demon Realm Continent for a long time.
It's just that they didn't expect that hundreds of years later, they would once again witness this moment in history.
Eagle roaring horse neighing!
The agility of the flying monsters, as well as the vastness of the sky, make it difficult for long-range weapons with slow fire rates to attack the opponent, so in the end, they still have to rely on the weapons in their hands to deal with the opponent.
If the two ancient knights, they raised their spears and rushed at each other.
With the advantage of numbers, Tulip's Pegasus Knights were quickly knocked down into the sea one by one, and their airships flew above the Tulip fleet.
Throwing the burning palm fruit out of the air, Nelson immediately stuck his head out to observe the results, and the first shot missed, but he was not disappointed.
The speed of the airship was not fast, but the carrying capacity was good, and the wooden dinghy under the airbag was filled with such palm oil.
And their purpose was to burn the sails of the tulip fleet.
......
With the blazing flames, the screaming crowds, and the thumping of gunfire, Nelson looked at the panicked tulip fleet below, not even worrying about the stray bullets that flew by from time to time.
It's nice to be on top of someone else's head like this! No wonder the goblins invented such a thing.
"Colonel, they have retreated towards the depths of the sea, are we still going to chase?"
Nelson looked at the few palm fruits left on the airship, pondered for a moment, and shook his head.
Driving Tulip's fleet away from the mouth of the Tame River, their results had exceeded expectations, and the depths of the sea were windy, and it was easy to have surprises, so they didn't need to risk it.
This battle has verified his idea, so now it's time to go back and let those old men from the military department increase their investment and set up an airship army.
......
In addition to the casualties of a few Pegasus, in fact, this "surprise attack" of the Dragon Heart Kingdom did not cause much damage to them, but at this moment De Ruyter had to order his fleet to sail back.
Because they have just received the news that Tulip's 60,000 army was defeated by the dwarves of Moria in the Battle of the Sarin River!
These army fools, are the magic crystal weapons in their hands used as spears to stab people? De Ruyter was extremely depressed at the moment.
The title of the number one maritime power in the Demon Realm Continent was already within reach, but I didn't expect them to lose because of the war on land......
