Chapter 259: Departure

The sky is clear. 【】

in a port less than a hundred miles from King Sauron.

In the inland waters of Roland da 6, the coastal topography takes on the shape of an inverted half-moon, forming a natural harbour wharf – and in fact. This is also where the main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Kingdom of Sauron is stationed.

Fourteen huge Roland 6 First Class battleships lined up and docked next to the pier. At this moment, the dock is full of large and small warships, these warships have passed through a simple formation, all the weapons they wear have been disassembled, and the flags have all been replaced with a royal flag of the Sauron Kingdom and a golden thorn flower banner - the imperial flag of the Bright Empire.

A hundred battleships are already lined up.

After waiting for many days, the kingdoms from Roland 6 had already assembled the first batch of warships. According to the contract, the first batch of 100 warships will leave the port today and head for Guangming Da 6.

On a simple platform on the docks, the King and Roddy stood side by side, both smiling at the fleet of ships below. Luo Di sighed in his heart, Luo saw that the navy was really strong, especially the largest fourteen first-class warships, such a large warship could accommodate an army of more than two thousand people, such a huge warship, the navy of the Bright Empire did not have one, but people took out fourteen at once so easily.

King Sauron sent an envoy to board a ship to the Empire of Light with a peace agreement signed by both sides, and according to the agreement between the two sides, when the ships arrived in the Empire of Light, the first batch of freed prisoners of war would also be transported back.

The king was not at all worried that the Empire of Light would not let go of the warship, after all, Duke Tulip was still with him, and that Miss Nicole. These two people are worth more than a hundred warships. According to the terms agreed by everyone, until the completion of this transaction, Roddy will remain in Rolanda, which is also a disguised mortgage.

After the roar of a cannon salute. The flag-bearer standing on a high tower on the pier waved the colored flag in his hand a few times, and the largest ship in the fleet was hoisted with the flagship's flag, and then the sailors commanded in the flag language from the lookout, and the fleet began to sail out of the harbor in a mighty procession.

The sun was shining, shining on the microwave rippling sea, like golden scales. The king felt a little smug in his heart. couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Excellency Luo Di, what do you think of the fleet in front of you?"

Luo Di replied very simply: "Very good! Such a fleet is indeed invincible above the sea!"

Suddenly, a person next to him couldn't help but snort coldly, and there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in his voice. It was that Crown Prince Arvin. As the commander-in-chief of the navy, he was naturally unwilling to see these sturdy warships given to the enemy.

The king didn't care about Avern's emotions, but just smiled faintly. Said: "Yawen, it's not early, you can board the ship too!"

Because it is the first batch of warships, it is related to the sincerity of the cooperation between the two companies. The Sauron Kingdom naturally wants to send a high-ranking heavyweight to show the sincerity of cooperation. As the crown prince of the kingdom, Yawen was sent to the Empire of Light.

Although Arwen was the main battle faction, under the persuasion of the king's efforts, he actually agreed to this request. Seeing that his guards had already crossed overtime, they had boarded the flagship against the shore. Yawen finally sighed, bowed to the king and Roddy, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I went. ”

Say that. Without even glancing at Roddy, the proud young man strode away.

The king looked at the back of his crown prince and suddenly sighed: "Young man." It's not a good thing to be too sharp. Speaking of which, he glanced at Roddy, intentionally or unintentionally.

Roddy closed his mouth and didn't speak, thinking to himself that this is your family matter, what are you talking to me about-

Now that there was no one else around, and the guards were all standing in the distance, the king suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Roddy, do you see these warships?"

Luo Di was stunned and said, "Naturally, it's good! It's much better than the warships of our Bright Empire." ”

The king sighed suddenly, and said in a low voice, "Yes, those kingdoms did not follow the rules this time, and did not get some to fool us. After all, they still have hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war in your hands, and they don't dare to make ghosts, and they are shoddy. But," he suddenly pointed to the largest flagship that Yawen had boarded, and said, "Do you see this ship? This is already the first-class warship of our Roland Da 6! This kind of warship is made of high-quality iron and wood, and it is extremely strong. The length of the ship is one hundred meters, and it can accommodate three thousand people! Such a warship, the entire kingdom of Roland 6 combined, is less than a hundred!"

"Oh?" Luo Di's eyes lit up, less than a hundred? Then this time the other party gave him fourteen at once, so naturally he had invested a lot of money.

The king smiled slightly: "But let me tell you, it is said that the Roland Sea Alliance is invincible in the world, but only we Roland people know that the real sea overlord is not those of us who live on the Big 6 - but the navy of the dwarf clan!"

The king took a thin scroll of paper from his sleeve and slowly unfolded it in front of Roddy.

"You see, this is the main warship of the Dwarven Navy, although the size of the ship varies according to the rank, but it is basically made according to this model - this kind of warship has a high bow and a sharp bow, which is conducive to breaking waves. There are three main masts on the warship, and there are a total of five sails on it, which is called the 'five-sail warship'! The mast uses a special technology to rotate on its own, and it is extremely flexible, and it comes and goes like the wind on the sea!"

The king pointed his finger to the pattern of the warship on the drawing, and continued: "And the hull of this ship is extremely high, and the largest five-sailing warship is as tall as a four-story building, with a fence and arrows on it!"

"Arrow stomping?" Roddy was stunned for a moment: "Is there a bow and arrow above the naval battle?"

The king smiled bitterly, "Have you forgotten what the dwarves are rich in? But they haven't had the luxury of making arrows out of iron! But these damned dwarves, they even make arrows out of iron! That kind of arrows shoot out extremely fast, and the range is almost more than fifty percent farther than ordinary bows and arrows, and in naval battles, when the warships of both sides have not yet approached the ground, it will be a great headache. If the two sides go to war, then the magician we wear is within the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, and it can't fly up to attack at all!"

"And the dwarves are naturally good craftsmen, and they are good at making good weapons. Hit us with this bow and arrow when they are far away, and when the two sides get closer, they will have a weapon!"

The king's eyes flashed. Pointing to a row of thin pipes sticking out of the hull on both sides of the drawing, Zhengse said: "This is a kind of nozzle, once the enemy ship gets close to a certain distance, a black oil will be sprayed from the pipe, and that kind of oil will be sprayed on the enemy ship, and their bows and arrows will shoot rockets! The black is a little bit, and the more you water it, the more fierce it will be! Although the Roland warship is made of ironwood." The fire resistance is much higher than that of ordinary ships, but ironwood is still wood after all!"

The expression on Roddy's face seemed to be lost in thought. The king continued, "According to my information, there are two hundred and fifty warships in the Dwarven Land, among which the largest five-sail warship is of the largest rank. It can accommodate fifteen hundred people, and its combat power is definitely not inferior to our first-class warships—and—" At this, the king seemed to smile helplessly: "And more than half of our fleet is made up of such large ships!

Roddy muttered, "In that case, we don't have an advantage in terms of degree, and neither long-range nor melee combat seems to be pleasing - Your Majesty, you have a problem for me!"

The king smiled and rolled up the blueprint in his hand. Then he slipped it into Roddy's hand and smiled, "Of course, we didn't plan to fight their navy head-on - like that." In the end, even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory, and the cost will be too great. ”

At this, the king took out a scroll of paper from his other sleeve as if by magic, and when he unfolded it, he saw a map of the sea.

"Our sneak attack plan is in half a month!Nominally, it is the last batch of warships to be transported to Guangming Da 6 to exchange prisoners of war!" He pointed to the map and said slowly: "You see, this is their island country, and our first few fleets passed by their left, all the way south, sailed out of the inland sea, and headed for the south, Guangming Da These dwarves are very timid, and they are also afraid that we will attack, so when the first few fleets pass by, they will inevitably send their own navy to patrol back and forth on the left side of their island country for surveillance!" And what we're going to do is make the most of that. The king was smiling: "You take the last fleet, a total of two hundred and fifty warships, we will take all the best Sauron Royal Navy that we can concentrate, and after a day of sailing out of the port, we suddenly turn around and head north!!"

"To the north!" Roddy's eyes lit up, and his gaze seemed to have some deep meaning, and he glanced deeply at the king.

The king smiled and said, "It seems that you also understand - our fleet will turn to the north, and after five days it will be able to go around the back of their island nation, and then" The king suddenly waved his hand, clenched his fist, and said categorically: "Ascend 6, sneak attack!"

Luo Di thought for a moment and said, "The plan is not bad, but I don't understand things at sea, Your Majesty told me this-"

The king smiled: "Naturally, my naval commander is in charge of the affairs of the sea, but after going ashore, the battle will be handed over to Your Excellency! I know that your country is still invincible in the world in 6 wars, and I hope Your Excellency will live up to my trust!" He smiled: "As for the information on the distribution of troops on the dwarven island country, I will hand it over to you in the next two days." ”

Luo Di sighed: "With such a big plan, secrecy is the most important. After all, I am an outsider, and it is up to Your Majesty to do these things. ”

The king smiled slightly and said, "Naturally, only four people know about this matter now. Even if we go out in half a month, the soldiers will not know where we are going, and I will give the order to declare war at sea!

At this moment, in the dock below, the fleet has gradually left, and the last to leave is the flagship.

On the flagship, Yawen stood on the bow deck. First, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the sun and sea breeze, and tried to calm my mood a little more.

Well, Your Majesty sent me to the Empire of Light, in fact, to break me apart. lest I stay in the country and affect his plans for peace talks. Alas-

Yawen shook his head, and couldn't help but have the shadow of that stunning face in his mind again, he smiled bitterly: "Forget it, what she likes is women, and she is the same as Her Royal Highness the Princess, why should I think about it again?" He opened his eyes again, tried to breathe a sigh of relief, summoned a henchman, and whispered: "What about those things that were brought on the ship before?"

"It's just under the cabin. ”

"Good. Arwen breathed a sigh of relief. According to Nice's request for him, he secretly took advantage of his position to help Nitice transport a batch of her property in Roland 6 to the Empire of Light, and at this moment, all the goods had been secretly transported into the cabin of this flagship long before they were out.

It's almost smuggling. But Arwen doesn't think so, he's just using his position to do his friend a favor.

"Well, now that the ship is offshore, please let my friends come out of the cabin, they must have been very uncomfortable after being stuffy for so long. Arwen smiled softly.

The man under his command immediately took the order, and after a few moments, he brought back a middle-aged man with a nervous face.

The middle-aged man was wearing a simple dress, and when he saw the crown prince, he immediately lowered his head respectfully, and said in a low voice: "I have seen Your Highness!"

Arwen frowned, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man's face was even more respectful, and he said with a smile: "Our master is not on the boat, she asked me to tell Her Highness that she still has some personal affairs in the royal capital, so she will go back with the ship this time." Anyway, when the goods arrive at Guangming 6, there are naturally villains who are responsible for contacting the people there to receive the goods. The host also said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is always warm-hearted, and he will not disappoint his friends. ”

Yawen was stunned, and then his face showed a little unhappiness: "She didn't get on the boat?" Hmph, this woman actually dares to tease me." Then he smiled and said, "Well, since I have promised Miss Nice, I will definitely help to the end—well, what else is your master doing in the royal capital?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "I don't know very well, but I heard that it seems that someone agreed to the master's date, but left the master there alone and waited for a night, and the master was going to go to him to theorize." ”
