Chapter 421: On the Eve of the Decisive Battle
Memphis is a medium-sized city with no military port, but that doesn't mean warships can't dock in the harbor β warships have to be ships first, and then armed weapons.
Therefore, Alicia and the others, who were already in the harbor, soon came to an inconspicuous corner, where two very special-looking warships were moored. The bow of one of the ships is strangely diamond-shaped, the streamlined hull is made of some kind of metal that has never been seen before, and there are four large cuboid boxes on the left and right sides that make people feel inexplicable, and what is even more incomprehensible is that in addition to the huge caliber of the main guns, this battleship is also equipped with many small guns, and I really don't know what the small cannons that can't even make the shields of the enemy warships shake are really useful.
The other is obviously a product of imitation of the former, the similar construction and relatively rough manufacturing process make it look reminiscent of the world-famous copycat method of the Celestial Empire; the cannon installed on this battleship is not the kind of cannon that everyone has never seen before, but the very familiar magic crystal cannon; but the cuboid boxes on both sides have increased to six, presumably because although the experts have figured out how this thing works, the technology can't keep up with the results of only taking a number of piles.
"The decisive weapons you are talking about are these two new ships?" Sophia said as she looked up at the huge hull and covered her mouth with a folding fan, "Indeed, it is an unprecedented feat to be able to build such a warship with a total length of more than 300 meters with the alchemy and magic level of Zolliven, even the Ming Empire of the Eastern Continent, which was proud of the navy of the world with a large number of exquisite wooden warships, is estimated to be impossible to make such a thing now." But yo, Alicia. Our enemies are on land!"
Standing in the front row, holding Remy, who was elated at the sight of the big guy, the blonde Lori said indifferently, "It's okay, Sophia." You'll be waiting to see the show tomorrow. β
"Since you say so, then I'll settle down. Sophia couldn't help but smack her mouth and sighed, "What a beautiful and mighty battleship." Even your family's imitation looks more powerful than a normal ironclad......"
The pink princess suddenly paused, hurriedly walked to the little Lori, bent down and covered the gap between the two cheeks with a fan, and whispered, "I was so shocked that I almost forgot." Alicia, where did this much more advanced replica come from!?"
"It fell from the sky. β
"Yes, by the way, it also caused a huge tsunami, destroyed many coastal cities, and mankind also made leaps and bounds in science and technology by studying it, at this time, the invaders with a huge advanced fleet suddenly appeared and provoked a war, and mankind was forced to use this warship to fight back, and finally ushered in the final battle with a touching song sung by a certain girl singer as the background music, right?"
β...... Where did you hear the word 'science and technology'?"
The direction of the complaint is wrong, hey!
Alicia was embarrassed for a while, then patted her face and said, "Sophia, you don't care about this." Knowing too much won't do you any good. β
Sophia was silent for a long time and said, "I understand, this battleship is a secret in the sky. If I get to the bottom of it, I'm going to be put under house arrest by you, right?"
β...... No, you'll just be told by me to call Ilya to carry you back and sleep with me. β
The conversation between the two came to an end for the time being. Just as everyone behind him was amazed by the behemoth in front of them, Arad led two goblins who were covered with the smell of engine oil and hurried up to Alicia: "Here you are, Miss Harris. I'm sorry, but the battleship is still doing the final debugging. It is impossible to attack at the moment. β...,
Alicia smiled and put down Remy and waved her hand: "Don't worry, anyway, under the deterrence of naval guns, those lords outside the city who nominally obey Donaldson's orders will not be stupid to let their army be cannon fodder, and every time they rush halfway and encounter a naval artillery attack, they deliberately pretend to be scattered and flee back." As for Donaldson, that guy wouldn't use the clone angel against the battleship easily, and who knows if those sycophants who are honest and submissive on the surface will turn their faces immediately after the clone strikes? Tsk, I would have climbed into that guy's bed and talked to him. β
Arad decisively ignores Lori's throw, as he tries to free his beard from Remy's hands and carefully avoid hurting her. At last, the poor old goblin could only look at the long snow-white beard in the little girl's hand and sighed secretly. With a helpless face, he continued to report: "Lord Francis is leading elite sailors to practice on the ship, do you want to go and have a look?"
Little Lori shook her head: "Don't bother them." (turns around and clapps his hands) Okay. Everyone, you've read it all. Let's go back first. β
Seeing that they have such a powerful warship, everyone has more or less some bottom in their hearts. The dull atmosphere of the farewell was quickly swept away, and everyone talked and laughed on the way back.
Sophia was still wrapped around Alicia: "Now, Alicia. What's the use of having so many small cannons on that battleship, I see that there are also a lot of miniaturized magic crystal cannons on the imitation. That kind of thing can't penetrate a battleship's shield, right?"
"Oh, they're used against targets on shore. For example, the enemy's living forces, siege equipment, or means of transport. These things can't be bombarded with the main gun, it's even more wasteful than anti-aircraft guns fighting mosquitoes. β
"I see. Sophia nodded and continued, "But the shield of the new ship must be strong, right? The large box on the side of the ship can't be anything other than the magic shield drive. β
"I can't hide it from you. I promise that the clone angels out there will not break the ship's shield for a day or a night. Alicia rubbed Remy's ponytail and said absentmindedly, "And although the clones are powerful and agile, it is impossible to dodge the salvo of the magic crystal cannon of the entire fleet." Tomorrow, if Icarus keeps them in check, and then defeats these imposters with a fleet attack, our final victory will be assured. β
"Ahh Sophia shook her folding fan and laughed, "Maybe I should really instigate Oh no, to convince Ilya to sneak into your room tonight." β
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will definitely ask Sister Mamei to drag you over, and then the two of us will accompany him [beep-] together. β
Sophia smiled when she heard this: "Well, actually, I don't mind such a ......."
"Get out!!"
ββββββββββββββββββI'm the dividing line of [beep--] ββββββββββββββββ
It was late at night, and the city of Memphis, with no citizens and only defense troops, was already immersed in a peaceful silence. And in the castle lord's mansion, which served as the temporary headquarters, the lights in the room belonging to Alicia were still faintly on.
"How's it going, did you find it?" asked Alicia, who was wearing a thin black translucent nightdress, leaning on the table and whispering.
"Found it, it's exactly what you thought. A shrill girl's voice rang out on the table, but it was Mao'er's demon Aglaea. The little elemental elf sat on the thick book and shook her legs casually, the light on her body flickering, like a delicate and beautiful firefly. ...,
"Now you know why I left you behind, right?" said Alicia, handing the little thing a lollipop to happily hold up in her hand, "no matter how careful that guy is, he can't detect that you're sneaking after him behind the hidden light." Sister Mamei, you also know the location, and you will act immediately when I give the signal tomorrow. β
"Yes, master. The girl Yingling, who was gently combing her hair with a wooden comb for Little Lori, was suddenly startled on her face, and hurriedly whispered, "Someone has triggered the warning barrier I laid around you!" is determining the identity of the other party...... Huh!?"
Little Lori looked back at her Ying Ling strangely and said, "What's the matter, Sister Mamei." Why did you have a hellish look on your face? Could it be that it was a long, straight black girl named Sadako who broke in?"
Ba Mamei's face was slashed by the Nine Heavenly Thunder Pocket with a special expression on his face: "The person who came, who came...... Elias. β
"Huh?" This time even Lori was stunned, "Who is it!?"
"I, Ilya Mars. Asami smiled and said with her hand, "In your subconscious, you won't refuse the boy who was pushed down by the other party." Do you need me to prepare you a soundproof barrier, a white silk to commemorate the fall of red, coffee at dawn, and a nutritious breakfast for blood replenishment?"
"Wait a minute, don't care if there are any things mixed in these things that need to be crabbed, what is the matter with you, who seem to be a matchmaker who is preparing to serve two young men and women who can only fall in love in secret, from the tryst to the aftermath and so on, hey!?"
Basumi didn't care about Alicia's complaints: "Icarus is currently monitoring the enemy in the city, and the mercury lamp is with her, and you are the only one in the room." Ilya will pick the right momentβmaybe that's what Princess Sophia taught him?"
Alicia couldn't help but sigh, turned off the light casually, and said, "Okay, no matter what his intentions are, it is impossible for him to eat me." Ilya is not that kind of person. Aglaia, and Sister Mamei, you guys leave first. β
Not long after the two left, Ilya quietly came to the window under the perception of little Lori, and then- raised her hand and knocked lightly.
[At this time, you should quietly open the window and sneak in, and take advantage of the opportunity for the girl to sleep in bed and be defenseless, and hold her down directly, right, idiotββ!] (To be continued.)
