A large wooden ship that takes at least three or four years from raw materials to completion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And Sauron's three warships have only been built for less than a year at best, and the raw materials needed for these warships are all bought from other shipyards at any cost.

There were even two of them, which had already been built in a small half, and then converted into two-story warships.

"How long will it take for these three ships to be launched?" Sauron asked.

"Seven days!" said the leader of the shipyard's defenders, who was also one of Suo's henchmen.

These three ships cost Sauron nearly 100,000 gold coins, plus artillery, and the cost of cultivating artillery, which is completely incalculable.

And, of course, the construction of this secret shipyard, plus the salaries of several thousand workers, etc., completely astronomical.

It has been almost two years since the start of production in Sauron's Stone Salt Works, and the more lucrative Magic Mirror has only been on the market for less than a year.

In the past two years, Sauron has earned an astronomical amount of gold coins, almost exceeding the annual taxes of the Raging Waves Kingdom.

But now, he still doesn't have many gold coins on hand, almost as much as he spends.

Now that the maritime trade is blocked, and half of his silver is cut off, life is sad.

......

It was the first time for Yan Qiu'er to see this huge artillery warship, and she was completely shocked!

Two of them had two gun decks, and the flagship in the middle had three gun decks.

Standing at the bottom and looking up, the battleship looks like a high mountain.

"The two smaller ones are Tianshui-class battleships with a displacement of 2,000 tons, 55 guns, and a crew of 700. Sauron pointed to the three warships and introduced: "The big one in the middle is the Southeast, with a displacement of 3,000 tons, 75 guns, and a crew of 950. ”

Sauron did not study much of the galleon, artillery, and battleships of the earth in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Therefore, these warships are completely based on the impressions and concepts in his mind, and then they rely more on the shipbuilding technology of this world.

Fortunately, the level of shipbuilding in this world is not weak, not to mention two-thousand-ton warships, even three- or four-thousand-ton ships have been built.

However, compared to the shipbuilding of Spain or England in the eighteenth century on earth, it must be much worse.

With the same displacement, the number of artillery pieces was, at best, about half that of others.

However, this tonnage of warships is scary enough, most of the warships in this world are still only a few hundred tons, and there are only one or two hundred crew members on them.

The Rock Pirate Battleship was even smaller, with only about a hundred pirates on a Rock Pirate Battleship.

It is precisely because these ships are so small that it is even more difficult to target with Griffin air strikes.

Born into a rock pirate, Iwa's passion for the sea and warships is extraordinary.

In the face of Sauron's three artillery battleships, she only felt that her blood was boiling, and even her breathing became short.

"Although I don't know how powerful these three ships were, I did know that they would definitely change the history of naval warfare. Yan Qiu'er said in a trembling voice.

Then, she turned her head and asked, "Sauron, with these three artillery ships, can you defeat the 100,000 navy of the Rock Demons?"

Sauron shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

He really didn't know that the navy was a branch of the military that needed the most time and the most foundation.

These three artillery battleships are entirely the work of Sauron and dozens of shipbuilders.

Although the thousands of gunners who had been trained for a year had fired guns and had fired them at sea, they had not really trained on these three large warships.

These three artillery battleships, not to mention that they have not been in real combat, have not even gone to sea.

So what will be the outcome of the real fight? No one knows!

Even if the war really starts, after the artillery is fired, whether some parts of the battleship will fall apart, Sauron does not dare to completely guarantee it.

Because these three ships were highly experimental in nature, according to Sauron's plan, it would be at least five years before his artillery ships would go into battle for the first time.

Just like the Chinese Navy on the earth plane, it took seven years for the first aircraft carrier to be rebuilt from the beginning to the actual army.

But a lot of times, it's the plan that doesn't keep up with the change.

Just like the United States during World War II, when aircraft carriers were insufficient, they were transformed into aircraft carriers with merchant ships, and they became an army within a few months.

Sauron's three experimental battleships are like this, they have barely been trained and may be pulled out of the sea for actual combat!

"Three is certainly not enough. Yan Qiu'er said: "No matter how powerful the warship is, three can't beat a thousand." ”

Sauron said: "Not only these three, but other warships have also begun to be transformed, and their guns are directly installed on the deck. Of course, a battleship can only install a dozen guns at best. And the number of artillery pieces is far from enough. ”

Yan Qiu'er sighed, "The rock demon's provocation is really not the right time. ”

"Who's to say it's not?" said Sauron, "two years later, he dares to provoke, and promises to beat him all over the ground to find his teeth." But now, our new navy has not formed combat effectiveness, and at best it is just in the bud. ”

Yan Qiu'er was silent for a moment and said: "Go to Yingzhou Island, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, look for the Hai family to form an alliance." ”

Sauron nodded, and then glanced at the three magnificent and huge artillery battleships!

There is no doubt that this represents the future of naval warfare.

But these three battleships are too new, whether it is a battleship, or the gunners and sailors who are about to go on the battleship, they are too immature.

This is a new type of navy that is still in its infancy, and its real combat effectiveness is completely unknown.

Sauron rode a griffin, circled around the three artillery battleships, and then said loudly: "From now on, put the finishing touches on the three battleships as quickly as possible, and be sure to go to sea within five days for sea trials." Then seize all the time and conduct actual combat drills. Because in a month, these three battleships will be in the face of a real sea battle. ”

"Yes!" shouted the sailors, crews, boatmen below, in unison!

Sauron rode the griffon, flew out of the cave, and said to Yan Qiu'er and Yan Yan, "Go in two ways, the first one, abandon all illusions, and prepare to fight alone. Second, go to Yingzhou Island and do your best to form an alliance with the Hai family!"

Then Sauron hesitated for a moment and said, "Also, contact the Underworld Society to assassinate the Rock Demon!"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Qiu'er's delicate body trembled slightly, but she didn't speak.

It took a lot of courage for Sauron to make this decision. He himself didn't care much about the Rock Demon's half-brother, but the Rock Demon was Yan Qiu'er's biological son after all.

But fortunately, when Yan Qiu'er fell into the abyss of the Rock King's Palace, she was hit by powerful spiritual energy, and many memories had been lost.

......

After leaving the secret shipyard, Sauron took a fast ship to Yingzhou Island in the northeast to form an alliance with the Hai family!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

The Yingzhou Island Hai family was once an enemy of Sauron, and twice sent troops to attack Tianshui City.

But so what? There are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests!

The East China Sea of the entire continent can only accommodate one hegemon. Between the Hai family and the Rock Demon, either annexed or annexed!

In order to extend their tentacles to the mainland, the Hai family married the Ashi family for the first time and married 30,000 navies.

As a result, these 30,000 navies were burned to the ground in the first war of extermination.

The second time, Haigang sent another 10,000 navy to Lizi to participate in the Second War of Extermination.

However, the second time was still the total annihilation.

But after two rounds of extermination wars, now the Hai family only has 60,000 navies left. But even so, once he and Sauron formed an alliance, they would add up to nearly 100,000 navies, which was on par with the Rock Demons.

As long as the two can form an alliance, then this battle will not be lost, plus Sauron has griffin air raids and artillery, and the chances of winning are very large.

"Sauron, I'll go with you to Yingzhou Island. Yan Qiu'er said.

Sauron shook his head and said, "Auntie, now that the sea situation is in crisis, the Suo's navy can't do without you. Moreover, if you follow me, I'm worried that Hai Gang, the lord of the Hai Clan, will have thoughts that he shouldn't have!"

Moreover, Yan Qiu'er once had amnesia and didn't know anything about Haigang at all, so it was not of much use for her to negotiate.

In the end, Sauron, under the protection of the company of Yan Yan and Zhuang Zhixuan, went to Yingzhou Island!

......

Tianshui City is five or six thousand miles away from the sea area of Yingzhou Island, and it takes four days and four nights to sail.

The voyage on the sea is so boring, what can you do but make people.

As a result, Sauron's waist was about to break again, and the otherworldly fairy Dian Yan turned into a **** queen again.

Sauron's waist is really going to break!

With a cry, her jade-like body slammed into Sauron's body, and then gasped.

"Finally full, eat to the end. Yan Yan gasped.

And Sauron, like a fish in broken water, grew his mouth and breathed desperately.

"Sauron, do you think Haigang will accept our request for an alliance?" asked Zolen.

Sauron said, "If he was smart enough, he would say yes!"

Speaking of which, Haigang and Sauron are completely mortal enemies.

A small half of the Hai family's navy was wiped out by Sauron. Not to mention, the Hai family is closely separated.

Dian Yan said: "Then do you think our negotiations with Haigang will go smoothly this time?"

Sauron shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know much about this person. ”

It is true that Haigang is a mystery to Sauron, but it is certain that this is another powerful hero.

Otherwise, the Hai family would not be as powerful as he would have in his hands.

Sauron was really curious about what kind of face and attitude Hai Gang, the lord of Yingzhou Island, would greet his visit!

......

When there were still dozens of miles away from the pier of Yingzhou Island, Sauron's boat was already surrounded by the battleships of Yingzhou Island!

Sauron said to the leader of the naval forces of a warship: "Please go and report to Lord Haigang, the lord of Yingzhou Island, that the Marquis of Tianshui of the Angry Wave Kingdom and the acting governor of the Southeast Province Sauron are visiting!"

After Sauron shouted out his identity, he immediately felt that his surroundings were full of murderous aura.

The Hai Clan's sailors on the decks of the surrounding battleships drew their swords almost at the same time, and their eyes looked at Sauron as if they were about to breathe fire, full of absolute hostility.

......At the same time, the giant crossbows on each battleship were opened, and the terrifying arrows were released, aiming at Sauron.

Sauron even suspected that at this time, as long as one person took the lead, hundreds of sailors on several surrounding Hai family warships would desperately pounce on him, trying to break him into pieces.

Nearly 40,000 of the Hai family's sailors died at the hands of Sauron, and it seems that he still underestimated the hostility of the other party.

Facing the swords of hundreds of Hai Clan's naval forces, as well as more than a dozen terrifying giant crossbows, Sauron's face remained unchanged and he still said lightly: "Please go and report to Lord Haigang, Sauron is visiting!"

The leader of the Hai Clan's naval army stared at Sauron for a long time, and then roared in a low voice: "Those who are waiting here, if you dare to move, you will be shot into a hornet's nest immediately!"

Then, he sent a small boat to drive towards the pier of Yingzhou Island and report to Haigang in Yingzhou City.

......

Yingzhou Island, which spans more than 1,000 miles, is equivalent to a province of the Angry Wave Kingdom, with more than 5 million people, all of whom are ruled by the Hai family.

Yingzhou City is the capital of Yingzhou Island, with a population of more than 300,000, and is a typical seaside city with very developed maritime trade!

The ruling core of the Hai family is this Yingzhou City!

Sauron waited for more than two hours before he received an order from Yingzhou City to allow Sauron to land!

Then, escorted by four warships, Sauron's boat landed at the pier of Yingzhou Island.

Sauron thought that Haigang would send the young master Hai Wuyan to the dock to greet him, but no, he just sent a military general at the level of a commander.

This treatment is very unequal, and it seems that Haigang treats Sauron very coldly.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in Sauron's heart about the upcoming negotiation, and he couldn't help but underestimate Haigang a little in his heart.

Haigang, who is eloquent and strategic, should not be such a narrow-minded person!

"Marquis Sauron, Lord is waiting for you in the Doge's Palace. The captain said.

Haigang has a province of territory, but he does not claim to any country for the time being, and his position is the governor of Yingzhou Island.

This governor is a self-proclaimed governor, and this man is really very modest.

Guarded by a hundred-man cavalry, the three of Sauron rode into Yingzhou City in a carriage and headed for the Governor's Palace.

In Yingzhou City, people come and go, and it is very prosperous.

The walls are very high and thick, and most of the houses in the city are made of stone, and the style is somewhat similar to that of the human kingdom and some of the style of the rock people.

None of these houses look ornate, but they are very sturdy.

About two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped in the Governor's Mansion of Yingzhou.

This governor's palace looks very similar to the governor's palace of the southeastern province, carved railings and jade buildings, pavilions and pavilions, solid and gorgeous.

The entire Governor's Mansion is completely detached from the atmosphere of the rock people, and it is also a little incompatible with Yingzhou City.

Under the guidance of this captain, Sauron entered the lobby of the Yingzhou Governor's Palace!

"Please wait again, Lord Sauron, and the Lord will be here in a moment!" the captain withdrew from the hall of the Doge's Palace, and closed the door.

Suddenly, in the huge hall, only Sauron, Xiao Yan, and Zhuang Zhixuan were left, and they didn't even serve a pot of tea.

After waiting for more than an hour, Haigang still did not appear.

Even, no one came out to greet him, and Sauron was already so thirsty that his throat was smoking, but there was still no half pot of tea.

Sauron's brows furrowed, he was not a tolerant person, and he was very unhappy in the face of such a cold reception.

In the Kingdom of Angry Waves, he was even beaten to the ground, and in the face of the kingdom's prime minister's unscrupulous words, he was slapped in the face with a crackle, but at this time, he was treated so contemptuously and coldly by Haigang, how could he not be angry in his heart?

After waiting for another half an hour, Sauron's patience ran out, and he got up directly and said coldly: "Since the master is not welcome, then let's leave." ”

After that, he was going to leave with Princess Wei Yan and Zhuang Zhixuan, and directly end the alliance that had not yet started in advance.

At this moment, a laugh came from the back of the hall, and then a handsome and elegant middle-aged man walked out, bowed to Sauron from a distance, and said: "Haigang, a citizen outside the party, meet Her Royal Highness Princess Zoren of the Angry Wave Kingdom, and meet the Marquis of Sauron!"
