ps:, ask for collection, uh, finally ask for praise. Thank you.

"You see, there they are waiting. ”

Lorraine pointed ahead, and the elven admirals on the Ark Royal looked in the direction of Lorraine's finger, only to see a tiny black dot appear at the far end of the distant horizon.

If you hadn't been reminded, it would have been hard to spot this inconspicuous shadow.

The deputy commander of the elven navy, Parno, glanced at Lorraine suspiciously, and secretly thought in his heart: The distance is so far that even a sharp-eyed person like himself can't see clearly, how could Lorraine know that it was his fleet?

It could be just a few islands or fishing boats, unless ......

Naian's fleet had already received orders to arrive there early and wait to join the coalition navy.

But before that, the people of their coalition had never heard Lorraine mention it.

After a while, I saw the black dot getting closer and closer, and gradually turned into wisps of black smoke.

The black smoke was very strange, gathering but not dispersing, and the thick black smoke went straight into the sky like wolf smoke, until it rose into the air, and then it was gradually blown away by the sea breeze.

The peculiar situation also caught the attention of the sailors on the other ships, and many of them all stopped and turned their heads to look south.

Someone even climbed the mast and looked out from above.

After a while, the wisps of wolf smoke became thicker and darker, like the billowing black smoke before the eruption of a volcano.

Sailors who have been adrift at sea for many years have not seen volcanoes erupting on the islands, and the dust that obscures the sky will be unforgettable once you see it.

Seeing this, some of the sailors on the ship could not help but make some commotion - all the most superstitious things to make a living at sea were the most superstitious, and there were all kinds of taboos.

As long as they see the slightest mistake, they will all attribute it to some superstitious explanation, such as the sea god is angry, the sea monster is in trouble, the mermaid has come to the aunt, and so on......

Then hoist the sails. Run as far as you want. Not to mention a dangerous volcanic eruption.

This may be a foolish and ridiculous move in later generations, but in this era, this is the common understanding of everyone.

It was this caution that allowed them to survive all kinds of dangerous sea conditions, even in the modern era of Lord Lorraine's previous life, the sea was still dangerous and unpredictable. Otherwise. An iron egg hitting an iceberg will not become a classic.

Hearing the exclamations and clamor of the sailors behind him, Parno couldn't help but be a little worried, and glanced at Lorraine again.

Lorraine grinned and said with a smile, "Ah, that's my fault. Forget to tell you in advance. When my fleet appeared, it was a little scary.

Sorry, sorry. ”

But Lord Lorraine didn't even have a look of embarrassment on his face, but smiled and looked like he was waiting to see a good show.

Parno couldn't help but froze, his face was hesitant, and he secretly suspected in his heart that Lorraine was doing it on purpose.

But then I heard the noise behind me getting louder and louder, like a bunch of stupid boys who had never seen the market entering the city for the first time.

Parno felt a little uncomfortable on his face, but he had to turn away. With his back to Lord Lorraine, he angrily ordered his officers to crush the ruffians.

As the order was handed down, all the sailors on each ship knew that it was Naian's fleet, and they were a little relieved.

And they'd better keep their mouths shut, because the bigwigs don't want to see them disgraced in front of humans.

Then the sailors of the Elven Navy all widened their eyes to see how powerful the legendary Naian fleet was.

You know, in the Battle of Vatino. They only sent a mere three warships and a few dozen clippers of modest tonnage.

The hundreds of Semitic naval wolves that fought were unbearable, and they only had the ability to parry, and they had no power to fight back.

And according to the summary of the aftermath, they destroyed a third of the enemy's warships, while their own warships suffered almost no casualties, and the losses were minimal.

It's nothing short of a miracle~!

The two fleets of their elven navy attacked the Semitic fleet, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers. In this way, in the fierce battle, it paid a lot of price.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many people present at the time and witnessed the whole battle, and that a large number of wreckage of the Semitic navy remained in place afterwards.

Everyone would think that it was the Neyan Legion bragging.

In the history of human naval warfare. Never before has there been such a disparity in casualties.

It was the Battle of the Vatino, which established the dominance of battleships with large tonnage and strong firepower in the oceans in one fell swoop, proving the strength of the Naian fleet.

After the naval battle, the elven kingdom made up its mind to develop battleships and form the most powerful artillery fleet in the world.

Since that war, the Naian Navy has gone to the open sea to block the Semitic sea lines of communication, and mysteriously disappeared from everyone's sight, and no one heard of them until the end of the war.

This made the elven navy, which has always prided itself the number one in the world, even more curious, wondering that it was a little more powerful than the Naian fleet.

And now, finally, we have a chance to see it in real form.

At this moment, the black smoke was getting closer and closer, closer and closer, turning into a large black cloud, hanging over something.

"Woo~~~"

Suddenly, there was a long, dull, but unusually loud whistle.

The sound was like the roar of a legendary beast of hell that spread throughout the fleet.

Immediately afterward, under the black clouds, several warships lined up and appeared on the horizon.

They were sailing against the wind, and there were no sails on the masts, but a tall chimney at the back of the ship.

The billowing black smoke was coming out of the chimneys.

Strangely, however, they traveled much faster than the fastest sail ships. Parno and a group of elven naval officers and sailors visually measured that the speed of the Naian fleet exceeded ten knots.

"Come to think of it, that's the alchemy technology that Ne is most proud of~!"

Seeing those few battleships, Parno couldn't help but breathe a little sigh of relief, and then looked at Lorraine strangely. Although those battleships were huge, they were still one size smaller than the battleships of the Elven Kingdom, and at best they were a little faster.

However, Parno is confident that even with only sails, the Elven Kingdom's naval fleet may not be slower than the Naians.

With a few warships in this area. Lorraine has the confidence to compare herself to it?

That's not just underestimating your own vision, but also underestimating your IQ~!

At this moment, I heard 'woo~~woo~~'

Another roar of a gas whistle was heard.

Immediately after, something as large as a hill leaped out of the horizon.

Everyone held their breath in an instant~!

Although the distance is extremely far, you can clearly feel the immensity and majestic majesty of the ship.

Compared to its sheer size, the battleship next to it was almost an inconspicuous gunboat.

It's like a small island. To be precise, it's no different from an island in the sea. Billowing black smoke from the middle of the center hung overhead like a large dark cloud.

Along the way, the undulating waves were crushed, and a deep white spray was plowed on the surface of the sea, and the speed was not at all slower than that of a battleship.

As it gets closer, it gets closer. Everyone could feel its powerful power, and felt that even if a small island stopped in front of it, it would be lightly shattered.

When it approached, alongside the rest of the ships, the crowd was amazed by its massive hull.

Even standing on the tall Ark Royal, facing the giant ship, I had to raise my head to look up at its majestic figure.

And the sailors on the giant ship also poked their heads down from a high place. With a curious expression, he lowered his head and looked down at the crew of the Ark Royal.

Although there was no contempt in the eyes of those sailors, just pure freshness and curiosity, it was precisely because of this that the sailors of the Elven Kingdom were even more angry.

Because, what is more irritating than being looked down upon by others is that being ignored by others is that being cared about ~!

The other party's gaze was like that of a well-fed tiger looking curiously at a rabbit that he had never seen before, no matter how much the rabbit roared. But it will never be in the eyes of the tiger.

Behind Lorraine, the officers of the Elven Kingdom glanced at each other, and they all saw the bitterness on each other's faces.

The Elven Kingdom has maintained the reputation of the world's number one warship for hundreds of years, and now it has changed hands.

Parno also looked at such a behemoth in a daze, and stayed for a long time, this huge battleship shocked him from the bottom of his heart,

But then Parno burst out laughing happily.

Everyone present was shocked. I thought that this representative of the radical young Zhuang faction was angry that something was wrong.

Then I heard Parno shouting: "You have no guns on this ship, no guns, hahahaha......"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then narrowed their eyes. Look at the giant ship.

Sure enough, although the ship was huge, there were no firing windows with guns in the cabins below the deck, and there were not even a few windows open.

It's just that in a few corners, a few large-caliber machine guns and 40-mm guns are arranged, and the muzzles are still raised high and pointed to the sky, apparently for air defense.

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other again, and they all showed relaxed looks: this big ship is not a battleship. It's just that the ship is bigger.

But then again, a big ship has a fart, a ship without cannons is like a hooligan without weapons, just relying on two fists to go out and mix, he would have been hacked to death by others a long time ago.

Parno was also aware of his gaffe at this time, knowing that he was gloating too much, calmed down, put on a polite appearance again, and said to Lorraine with a smile: "Earl, your ship looks quite big, but where is your cannon?"

Or did you build one, a cruise ship?!"

Lord Lorraine couldn't help but look at him strangely.

scolded in my heart: You can also be regarded as a young Zhuang officer~!

It's simply a shame for the word 'young Zhuang faction'.

Doesn't it mean that all the officers of the Young Zhuang faction are very smart and have an intuitive sensitivity to new weapons?

Like what cannon master Napoleon, tank expert Patton, Guderian, and even De Gaulle can barely count one,

In addition, there is Yamamoto Fifty-six, who is famous for his aviation warfare, and so on. All of them were radical young Zhuang people, and they all had an extremely accurate grasp of the direction of the war.

At a time when others are still immersed in the inherent tactical system. They began to think about the new tactics that new weapons would bring. It's all bull fork coaxing, it's terrible.

And the man on the other side ...... The elf is also an officer of the Young Zhuang faction, but his brain is not open to this extent. The uncle showed the boat, and he didn't even know what it was for.

And the guys behind him are all as stupid as the plague chickens.

It seems that I was deceived by those third-rate military periodicals I bought from the stall~!

Lorraine scoffed and shook her head slightly. In a relaxed tone, he asked rhetorically, "Why do I need to equip artillery?"

Parno was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Why don't you equip it with artillery?"

With all due respect, Earl, your ship won't be a good thing, will it?

You are also a battle-hardened general, and I believe you should know that you are facing a butcher's knife. The wild boar relied on its sharp fangs, and it was still able to resist one or two. If it's a domestic fat pig, it doesn't matter how fat it grows, but in the end, even a woman with a knife can ...... it."

At this point, he didn't continue, but reached out and gently scratched his neck. than an ominous gesture.

Then he laughed, and while laughing, he said apologetically: "Earl, I have always been a straightforward person, what do you have to say, please don't be surprised, don't be surprised, ah? hahaha......

Lorraine looked at him. also laughed and said, "No strange, no strange." You can't even see this, it only means that your vision is too small.

And as an outstanding representative of the elven kingdom, you are like this, and others are naturally even more detached. How can I be weird?"

All the officers present all sank their faces - Lorraine was no longer the kind of superficially polite sarcasm between the nobles, but a direct slap in the face in the face. And scolded them all.

Elves have always been haughty. Moreover, it is also extremely sensitive in terms of national self-esteem, which is naturally unacceptable.

Several young and vigorous junior officers were so angry that they couldn't help but take a step forward and pull out a section of the war knife at their waists.

Lorraine's heart suddenly became angry: nmlgbd~9 can't even listen to the slightest bit of fucking advice. Here's the problem. I have to treat you well~!

He narrowed his eyes. Staring at them coldly.

Behind the officers, Hippo Maidon couldn't help but sigh secretly. The elven kingdom has been closed for too long, and the reason why they have not come forward to stop it is that they hope that they can open their eyes and see the world clearly, but these people have been closed for too long, and their minds are only arrogant, and they can't listen to other people's words at all.

He took a few steps forward and shouted, "What do you want to do? Rebel and put away all your weapons." Put it all away for me. ”

As he spoke, he punched and kicked the officers.

The men then retracted their weapons and stepped away.

Hippo Maidon turned around, bowed deeply, and said, "Earl, I have been rude by not being strict with discipline. ”

Lorraine didn't care either, and said lightly: "It's okay, just discipline more next time." ”

The attitude of the elven kingdom towards humans has always been a problem, which makes the human politicians quite dissatisfied.

And the reason why he took the battleship of the Elven Kingdom this time was to personally understand the thoughts of these soldiers and evaluate the cooperation between himself and the elves, and now the result is out.

Lorraine turned around and said, "Send a signal and ask someone from above to come and pick me up." ”

The crowd couldn't help but look at each other for a while: the people above came to pick them up? What does this mean? Could it be that let his warship come closer, and then he climbed the rope ladder to go up? Or is it the most traditional swinging mast?

But looking at the appearance of this lord, it doesn't look like he wants to do that at all.

Despite his confusion, the signalman sent a signal to the top.

After a while, I saw a swarthy thing slowly rising into the air above the huge ship.

That's a small and medium-sized war fortress~!

Seeing this, Parno's eyes couldn't help but shrink, and he faintly felt a filial piety in his chest.

He understood in an instant: it turned out that the giant ship was not a gunboat, but a huge mothership~!

The ship did not need any cannons at all. As long as you rely on the war fortress with strong firepower above, it is enough to destroy a qiē enemy at a long distance~!

The loss of himself is still there constantly screaming what cannon. Now that I think about it, it was like a clown.

At this time, the war fortress had slowly flown over.

In order to avoid the masts and ropes on the Ark Royal, it deliberately made a circle and landed in a gap on the aft deck.

When it fell, everyone suddenly felt the hull of the ship under their feet shake slightly, and then they couldn't help but feel their hearts sink when they saw the war fortress that had come to a steady stop.

The war fortress was not large, at most half the size of a house. But looking through the doors and windows, you can clearly see that there are at least ten people inside. This is a new type of war fortress, and it also means that mankind's development and research on war fortresses has reached a new level.

And the number of war fortresses that the entire elven kingdom now has is only a handful, and this is purchased from the human side at a high price, let alone any development and research.

Lorraine smiled, then turned around and said to the elven officers, "Everyone, do you want to go up with me for a visit?"

The elven officers glanced at each other, cheered, and scrambled to step forward. I almost didn't fight to grab a seat.

Although they are old-fashioned, they are not stupid, otherwise, they would not have abandoned the previous ballistas and switched to human cannons. And now that we know about the emergence of another new weapon, it is natural to have a good understanding of it.

Parno also gritted his teeth and stood up. He also needs to take a good look at how powerful this huge battleship really is. (To be continued.) You are welcome to come to the Biquge www.biquge.info to vote for recommendations and monthly passes. For mobile phone users, please go to read
