In Francis's view, the decisive factor in victory or defeat at sea is always which of the two ships is faster, whose armor is thicker, whose shield is harder, and whose firepower is stronger. So when Alicia slipped into his fleet a horde of beauties and many mysterious and dangerous things called goblins, Francis was very skeptical about the usefulness of these curious girls who liked to stand on the bow or bridge of a ship and spread their wings in the wind and sprinkle their feathers on the decks and living quarters in naval battles.

I guess they were going to let them fly onto the enemy ship and play white-knuckle combat. Francis shook his head and threw this unwritten idea out of his mind, and ordered the first mate beside him: "Inform Peacock Dance that we have found the enemy ship and let her men get ready." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

It didn't take long for hundreds of harpies to appear on the decks of more than a dozen warships, looking spectacular—as long as we ignored the pained and almost fainting expressions on the faces of the sailors who were cleaning the decks as they watched them lay out their wings.

"Give me all the quiet!" Peacock shouted loudly with amplification magic, "remember where to join the fleet, or don't blame me for not warning you when you get tired and fall overboard! Whether it's Elithea or a goblin artifact, it's dangerous, so don't stupidly stop where you want to see what happens, and run as far as you can. Got it!?"

"Hello!!" Alicia, who was reorganizing her troops on the front line, suddenly sneezed.

The legendary goblin product is a strange barrel-shaped thing. It looks a bit like the barrel that stored the magic crystals on a warship during the wooden sailing days.

Francis shook his head secretly and said to himself, "No, even if it is really full of magic crystal bombs, it can't penetrate the armor of the battleship." (looking at the first mate) informs the fleet to prepare to retreat to the rear as planned, if Alicia's battle plan is not successful. We'll have no choice but to retreat. ”

A large group of harpies flapped their wings quickly against the wind and flew into the sky, led by Peacock Dance, in a neat formation and flew away towards the enemy ships in the distance. There were already a large number of magic crystal cannon flashes in that direction—Francis's fleet spotted the enemy at the same time that the enemy spotted them.

Numerous white splashes of water immediately rose high around the fleet, and the shield on one of the frigates shook violently, but fortunately did not disappear under the shelling.

"Don't attack, get out of the field at full speed!" Francis snapped into the crystal ball, "The shelling won't last long, and the banshees will soon disrupt them." ”

Obviously. The tactics developed by Alicia for the fleet were very typical of carrier-like play. If it weren't for the fact that the Harpy Banshee who flew out couldn't find the moving mothership in the vast sea and get lost, maybe this girl would have let the Banshees scout it.

For now, the only way to do this was to pre-establish a position for the fleet to wait for the banshees to return after discovering the enemy, and to treat the fleet as a makeshift airfield on the sea that would not move - as to whether the enemy ships would rush over. A blonde Lori said that unless the other party's flagship is called "Enterprise", they can't be so strong.

In disbelief, Francis led the fleet back as he watched the banshee go away.

The Harpy Banshees, which were densely packed with hundreds of numbers, did not look like clouds passing by in the sky no matter how they looked, and the other party soon spotted them, and the sailors were immediately scrambling on the deck...... Bewildered. ...,

It was impossible for Zollivan's battleships to be armed with anti-aircraft guns. These behemoths, which resemble the capital ships of various countries in the second half of the 19th century, naturally follow the path of giant ships and cannons. As long as the flying machines don't appear, the humans of Drowlivan will not think about air defense at all.

But before the planes appeared, they were already facing a blow from the air.

Due to the sheer power of the magic crystal, gunpowder has never appeared on the human tech tree. Therefore, the only cannon that fires the physical type is the ancient trebuchet, and now the battleships are all equipped with magic crystal cannons. To defend against this terrible attack. Special magical shields were placed on the warships. This shield was designed from the ground up to protect against the Crystal Cannon, so it has been deliberately strengthened - abandoning defense against physical attacks altogether. Devoted all his energy to magical defense.

In other words, a seagull passing by for soy sauce can also drop on the deck of a fully shielded battleship to increase the workload of sailors.

Humanity has long since abandoned the bloody method of fighting in a brutal white-knuckle battle after the two warships collide with each other on the sea, but this does not mean that they are defenseless against it. Many sailors were improvised and lined up on the deck, quietly waiting for the banshees to board the ship.

But what they waited for was buckets that had only been dropped from mid-air.

The most shameless, undisciplined, and jaw-dropping in the history of Drowliven is that countless historians have laughed without exception when talking about this naval battle, and the blow to the ground has begun.

These barrels looked so much like the ancient wooden barrels that stored the magic crystals, and the sailors who were looking up below were so frightened that they suddenly threw away their armor and scurried around. Surprisingly, the barrels did not explode when they fell, but collapsed there like a smashed watermelon.

Just as the frightened sailors stared at each other in confusion, a large amount of pale blue smoke suddenly rose from the rags, and even the same thing came out of the nearby barrels that had fallen into the water.

Then the whole fleet was immersed in a sea of joy - I don't mean the sailors exclaimed with joy, but they rolled on the ground and laughed so hard that their noses were watering with tears and their faces were still laughing wildly.

Cecilia's special laughing potion is an improved version!

Originally, given the volume of the barrel, it would not contain a lot of gas. But given the undisciplined nature of a certain loli, the barrel is not filled with gas, but with a concentrated liquid! these egg-painful liquids will slowly evaporate for a full hour when exposed to the air, and he will have to laugh even if Locklip is on the boat for such a long time.

It was obviously impossible for Drowlivan's battleship to have equipment to defend against biological and chemical attacks, and even if some of the ship's sailors closed the hatch in time, they would not be able to completely stop the gas leakage. In less than ten minutes, the fleet was completely incapacitated, albeit temporarily.

But the banshees' assault isn't over yet.

This time it was the Sleeping Potion that was dropped, and since the battleship had no one at the helm and no clumsy evasive maneuvers, the high hit rate was terrifying. The entire fleet was soon shrouded in a gray fog and completely silent.

Gray Ling, who was in charge of directing the second wave of air raids, came to Peacock Dance's side after throwing the barrel and said with a painful face, "The attack is all complete, Patriarch." Should we send a sister to call Francis to collect the enemy ships now?"

"This kind of thing is really ......" Peacock Dance said with his hand on his forehead in a cold sweat, "Gray Ling, how do you complain?"

"Patriarch, your words are already a very powerful complaint. ”...,

When Francis arrived with the fleet, the ghostly eyes and thunderous expressions of him and the officers and men couldn't help but leave a very deep impression on the Peacock Dance. Only Jikrem was desperately pounding the table on the bridge and said: "Why do you just put on such a black-bellied boss who has lost the lower limit of his discipline, and return the iron-blooded drama I have been looking forward to for a long time, how can it be repaired-!"

As a result, Francis's fleet captured all the opponents, men and ships, without firing a single shot, and the whole battle took more than thirty minutes. The George family was unable to figure out the reason for the inexplicable failure of the naval battle, which should have prevailed in the end, and in the end, Francis's public memoirs after his death revealed the answer to this puzzle that had puzzled everyone for a long time - and at the same time, it gave the world a deeper understanding of the extent of Elysia Harris's dark belly.

On the distant Kielberg front, Alicia received a message from the system at the end of the battle:

"You have defeated the George family's sneak attack fleet and earned 5,000 bonus points. The random mission ends, and the second part of the phased mission officially begins. The goal of the mission is simple, no matter what means are used, it is enough to unify the whole of Birea.

Defeat the Golden Shadow of the Artificial Creature Weapon to reward the use of Level 6 Fighting Qi, defeat the Heroic Spirit Medea and reward the weapon 'Breaking the Talisman of Ten Thousand Laws', defeat the Heroic Spirit Sasaki Kojiro to reward the sword skill 'Swallow Return', and kill the Angel Clone without any reward, but destroy the opponent's research and production base to obtain the skill 'Divine Spirit Display', the effect is that when you enter the God Realm, you will unconditionally transform into the ultimate goddess form, and exert strong coercion on all the servant gods of Lord Locklip, including the God King.

There is no penalty for failing a mission, because by the time you are defeated, you have already lost everything. ”

Alicia sorted it out in her mind for a moment, then nodded and looked at the people who were playing in the tent, "Okay guys, please stop the routine. If I'm correct, we'll be facing the main force of the George family in a few days. ”

"Let them come! we'll beat them back no matter how many!"

[Yes.] But the key thing is, I don't want any of you to have three long and two short...... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
