150. A high-speed war machine

Such a huge man-made object, even if it was an aircraft carrier built by the industrial superpower of East's previous life, is far from comparable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 InfoEsther, who had always cherished the superiority of industrial civilization over backward civilizations, had to admit at this time that the Coronians had amazing civilization and technology.

Seeing Easter, Sonia and Mora Gault's eyes firmly fixed on the majestic figure of the battleship, Valentina, who was piloting the alchemy ship, couldn't help but think of the first time she saw the Void Ship.

It's a power that makes people worship. It made her deeply feel that even if she became a legend, she would still be the powerless little girl in the face of a civilization that could create such a giant ship.

"This is the Crimson Moon, the lead ship of the Crimson Moon-class high-speed battleship! Any business alliance must tremble in the face of this power!" Valentina explained to the three authors with great emotion.

"This is the Kingdom's first professional warship, and it is different from the previous trade warships that had to be considered for cargo capacity. It was born entirely for war. We started building fourteen of these types of warships at the same time three years ago. The lead ship will be completed in three months. The rest will also be built within half a year. At that point, we can say that we are invincible. Under the command of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, we can destroy all enemies. ”

"It's spectacular!" After all, Esther had experienced the baptism of dumplings from the Celestial Empire Navy in his previous life, and the impact was far less than that of Sonya. He was the first to come back to his senses and marveled.

Esther listened to Valentina's rhetoric, but of course he was not as optimistic as she was. But the worry in my heart has been alleviated a lot.

As Amanda Tsukimi said, three years ago, the Business Alliance officially imposed a trade blockade on a traditional business partner in Coronnia. After discovering that they could not obtain the specific Void coordinates of Coronia, those black-hearted merchants hoped to expose themselves by attacking the Void Trade of Coronia and causing the Coronians to mess with themselves.

And the reaction of the Kingdom of Coronia was apparently the simplest - the construction of fourteen specialized warships at the same time.

This suggests that the Coronian upper echelons (at least the royal family) have decided to respond to the commercial alliance by means of war. Their minds are clear, their actions are decisive, and the results are remarkable.

This made Esther feel that his likelihood of becoming a cosmic refugee was greatly reduced.

Because if the upper echelons of the kingdom did not clearly understand that this would be an extremely cruel battle of life and death, they might not have a chance to win at all. And Esther has no intention of coexisting with the Kingdom of Coronia, so he can only join the ranks of Amanda Tsukimi for a thrilling escape.

"This kind of professional battleship looks good. Why not build a few more?"

Esther pretended to ask Valentina, but in fact he wanted to know what Coronia was actually capable of building.

Valentina didn't even think about the purpose of East's questioning. She shrugged her shoulders very casually: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has dreamed of building a few more. But we can only force fourteen ships at the same time. Because the Void Ship needs to be docked regularly for maintenance, and there are only these thirty-five docks that can overhaul the giant transport ship. We must leave sixty percent of the dockyard behind for overhauling the other Void ships, and then build some transports that are short-lived. ”

"How long does it take to build a transport ship?"

"About three months. I remember that three years ago we had just over 500 giant transports, and now we have 750. ”

"Why don't you build more docks?

"Of course it was built. And it's twenty in one go. But a giant dock that can make a Void Ship is even more difficult to build than the Void Ship itself. It will take at least a year or two for these 20 dockyards to be used. ”

"Are there enough materials and personnel to build the ship?"

"There are enough people. There have also been druids who have come to help over the years. These guys have a knack for working with wood. There is also abundance of materials. Every year, there are many kinds of high-quality magic wood that the nobles from all over the world pay for the royal tribute, not to mention the gems everywhere. The Alchemists' Guild is also very enthusiastic about building ships and making money. They can provide Source Energy Crystals four times faster than we can ship. However, they prefer to build new ships and sell the old ones. And we don't have a single old ship lately. All are new ships built within twenty years. The latest is the Crimson Moon-class battleship. Each ship is equipped with four times as many Energy Crystals as before. There is also living armor technology provided by the druids. ”

"In that case, the Crimson Moon class must be a very powerful warship!"

"That's nature. I've never seen such a terrible war machine. Once it enters the Void Battlefield, other old warships will only be eliminated. ”

For Valentina, the Void Fleet is her home. Each Void Ship was her family's property. She knew the total number of Void Ships as well as she took care of the winter food stored at home. The most important thing is that each Void ship has the Marines she sends on. These warriors are directly at her command, always able to bring her the latest news about each ship.

"Sophia, when you officially join the fleet, you will also get a battleship as a ship. If I think of a way, I'll definitely get you a Crimson Moon-class when the time comes. ”

"Thank you so much. But why do I need ships? I'm not a captain, and I don't have any experience commanding Void ships. "Est doesn't know how the Void Fleet's Legendary powerhouses fight, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to divide the Legendary powerhouses into different ships.

"We will do our best to deploy an anti-landing force on each warship. This is because we always have the upper hand in fleet battles, and the other side will naturally want to fight with us. Although we have always avoided broadside combat, many times we have not been able to completely block the enemy commandos from entering our ships. In the beginning, we suffered a lot because of the massive attrition, which led to the fact that some warships could not even make up the operators. This is also the reason why marines are placed on each battleship. The mission of the Marines is to repel enemy broadside units. A battleship like the Crimson Moon class will have more than one legendary powerhouse on board, and the three of you can form half a legendary squad, which is very suitable as the core defense force of a Crimson Moon class. ”

"Do we have so many legends that we can assign to each ship?"

"Of course, not every battleship can be a legendary powerhouse, and there are many battleships that are not so strong. But the forces on the capital ships will definitely be stronger than in the rest. ”

Valentina said as she slowed the speed of the ship.

"Look, we're in Zone 3. ”

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the 2nd arrondissement, the 3rd arrondissement is incredibly quiet. Looking down from the 100-meter-high flying boat, there is hardly a single figure in sight, only countless tall buildings in the boundless sky. The height of each building is around fifty meters. All the buildings are squares in the same shape, but the roofs are painted with different colors of paint to distinguish them.

"Is this a material reserve area?" Esther couldn't believe his eyes, even though these buildings were stored with the most ordinary wood and food, and with the volume and quantity of these buildings, it was an unimaginably huge number.

And it's clear that more than just wood and grain are stored here. There are hundreds of different colors and patterns on the roof alone, which means that there are at least hundreds of kinds of materials stored here.

"Is this the royal family's treasure house in the teleportation!

Mora Gott, who had seen the Pervas Family's Void Ship for a long time, was completely shocked until this time. In the vast land beneath her feet, countless warehouses of supplies reveal the formidable war potential of the Cologne family.

Valentina also looked at the complex of buildings stretching out to the horizon at her feet with a complicated look.

"Although I passed by here once in a few days, every time I saw it, it made me feel bad. See the unpainted warehouses? It's full of prepared military food. In these magical buildings, these foods can be stored for a long time. It is said that it can make all the soldiers of the whole of Coronia eat with an open belly for ten years. The warehouses with yellow ears of wheat are full of wheat, and no one can tell how much there is. Some of the wheat was stored before the Dark Ages. It's all jerky over there. There is also salt, sugar, grease, cloth. Anyway, you can think of it all here. Look over there, those warehouses are filled with armor and weapons, it is said that there are more than a million magic armors alone, and more than 10 million weapons. No one knows exactly how much material is stored here! It is a running account that has been recorded for thousands of years. All I know is that more than 50 new warehouses have been built in the last few years. It was filled with trade-grown precious metals. Look here, and think about the people in my hometown who hunt behemoths in the wind and snow with wooden spears and stone axes in order to have enough to eat, and I always feel that something should be done for them. ”

"Then why don't you let all the people from your hometown come to live in Coronia?" Sonia was a little strange, thinking that with Valentina's status and Coronia's desire for population, none of this should be a problem.

"Do you think I haven't thought so? But how can it be so simple! It's too hot in Coronia. If you don't have high-level strength, you will get sick soon when you come here, and you will get sick one after another. Valentina's answer made everyone helpless. Humans who have lived and evolved for a long time in the alpine region have indeed had a hard time withstanding the four-year-old summer climate of Coronia.

"Besides, I've already sent them a lot of weapons and food. It's been a long time since a newborn starved to death in my tribe. ”

"Valentina, how long has it been since you have been back to Serenti, how did Her Highness the Princess find your plane, and what did she do in your hometown?" Esther suddenly had an interesting idea. That's why Coronia's Void Fleet would go to Valentina's homeland, a wild and backward plane. Through small talk with Valentina and Mora Goult, he knew that Serenti was not on any of the established trade routes. If it was for trade, the Silenti people who remained in their primitive state would never have enough trade goods. In other words, going to the Serenti is a completely loss-making act.

There are people who do the business of killing heads, but no one does the business that is loss-making. The Coronian Void Fleet isn't going to Serenti to alleviate poverty!
