The strongest lord system

Chapter 497 Battleship Launched
Along the long coastline, fishing boats are constantly drifting in the offshore area, and fishing nets are cast down one by one.

The size of the grid of the fishing net is generally relatively large, and a fist can pass through it. This is the fishing rule of fishermen, and young fish are not caught. This is to prevent the occurrence of killing chickens to obtain eggs.

A row of city walls have been built along the coastline. The city walls are very thick, and a lot of pebbles are piled up on the outside of the city walls, because when the sea tide is high, the torrent will hit the city walls, and these pebbles can slow down the speed. role.

In other places, tall buildings have been built one after another, but most of them are still under construction.

In a river extending from the sea next to it, a large dock stands there, and there are many warships docked beside it.

But today everyone's eyes are focused on a warship. The dark structure is not very gorgeous, and the huge hull looks a bit bloated. There are no sails on the deck that other ships have, and it is very bare.

This is a strange ship, no one has seen such a ship, and at this time the search ship is parked in the shipyard of the dock, and has not yet touched the sea.

"Do you think this strange boat can really be launched?"

"Improbable. Look, its hull is made of steel. If such a heavy thing falls into the sea, it won't sink."

"Shen, I don't think so, but without sails and oars, can such a big ship move?"

"I think it's very difficult. And the ship was built so fast, it seems that it only took a short month."

"Don't talk about it, I have to go back to work after reading it."

Everyone next to the dock looked at the black monster with questioning eyes.

"When will the city lord arrive?" Gates asked Sano next to him.

Sano said; "When I set off, the Lord of the City said that he would come soon. It should be after the football game in Stormwind City in the morning. But it is almost here now."

"Mr. Gates, can this black boat really go out?" Ke Luo frowned and looked at this boat he had never seen in his life.

"It's too difficult." A middle-aged man with a white beard shook his head and said, this middle-aged man has scars on his face and many scars on his body, but there is a different feeling in his eyes.

Gates smiled and said: "Using a sentence that the Lord Allen used to say. It is useless to say more. Only when you officially see it will you understand the magic of this monster."

"Then we're looking forward to it." Compared to others, Sano was very calm, because he knew that this ship was built on the basis of the principles that the Lord Santo said.

Since it is something that the city lord thinks can be successful, it will definitely be successful.

At this moment, two figures appeared in the distant sky.

"Master City Lord, they are here."

"Wow. Flying so fast, I didn't expect to get here so soon." Heitu blinked excitedly and looked at the dense crowd below. For the first time, she realized that the feeling of being in the air is so good.

Mirana nodded, her eyes looked at the griffin next to her.

"Meow. Land quickly, land quickly." The black cat's body was completely shrunk into Allen's arms, like a frightened kitten.

"Okay. I didn't expect your little cat to be afraid of heights." Allen smiled and looked at the black cat sitting in front of him.

"Meow, I'm not afraid of heights. I just don't like to be in the air, that's right." Although the black cat was afraid in her heart, her arrogant nature still made her unable to admit it.

Allen looked at the dock in the distance, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Since you said you are not afraid of heights, it shouldn't matter if we fly a little higher."

"Don't, don't." All of a sudden, the black cat's ears and tail stood up, and the black eyes were full of sparkle and sorrow: "I, I'm afraid of heights, why don't you come down quickly, meow."

Allen smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the black cat's head. If it used to be, the black cat would definitely resist, but now the black cat feels that its body is soft, and it doesn't even have the thought of resisting.

"Mirana. Let's land."

"Ah."

The two birds landed on the platform that had already been prepared beside the dock.

"Lord City Lord."

"Lord City Lord."

A group of people half-kneeled on the ground, and other civilians around them also knelt on the ground one after another.

This is what they kneel from the bottom of their hearts.

"Get up. How are the preparations going?" Allen said, looking at the black battleship.

"The preparations are all done, now we just need to drag the hull out of the dock and into the river." Gates said aloud.

"Very good. Let's get started. After launching, I want to board the boat to see our first battleship." Allen said with a smile.

The first battleship, perhaps this battleship has many flaws, but this is only the first step for Stormwind City to go to the sea. Allen believes that in the near future, there will be a navy looking down on the sea, and they are flying Stormwind City. Flags, they are not afraid of wind, waves, or enemies, and their goal is to conquer the sea.

"Yes. The battleship is launched." Gates shouted.

The launching began.

The staff began to get busy, and a slope appeared in front of the battleship, and below the slope was the sea water in the dock.

The devices that were originally used to fix the hull of the battleship were undone one by one. After the last fixing device was undone, pushed by a group of strong men, the huge hull began to row towards the water.

At this time, almost everyone mentioned it.

Whether a ship is successful or not, launching into the water is crucial. Once there is a problem with any part of the hull, the ship is likely to sink, let alone this steel-made ship.All hearts were raised.

The front end had already touched the water surface, and the sea water began to slowly submerge the bottom of the front ship.

An incense stick of time passed, and the entire ship had entered the waterway at the dock. The ship floated on the water very calmly, like a huge steel castle.

"All the Griffin Knights took off. Pull our battleship out." Following Sano's order, all the Griffins flew up.

Such a huge ironclad ship is difficult to pull out quickly by ordinary methods.

Then you can only rely on a group of griffins.

Each griffin is tied with a thick rope, and the hull is fixed underneath.

Flap your wings together as a flock of griffins arrives.

The huge steel warship finally moved, and it slowly approached the main channel of the Mosao River, and not far away was its homeland, the sea.

An hour later, the armored ship docked at a pier next to the Mosao River. At this time, a series of crew members began to board the ship.

Although this ship uses a steam engine, it also requires a lot of people to maintain it.

"My lord, we can board the ship. Let's enjoy the maiden voyage of this battleship together." Gates looked at Allen and said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go." Allen nodded.

When you looked at it from a distance, you didn't feel anything, but when you really stand on the hull, you will find that you are so small.

"This steel. This structure." The middle-aged man with a white beard kept stroking the hull.

Allen noticed this strange middle-aged man, and he asked curiously, "Who is this?"

Ke Luo stood up and said: "City Master, didn't you ask me to choose a captain before, and this gentleman is the captain I chose. He used to be a pirate, and then he was a captain of a merchant ship. It can be said that he has spent 30 years in his life. He has been on a ship, so I think he is very suitable to be the captain. He has no name, you can just call him White Beard."

"I dare not. Although I have seen and driven many boats, this is the first time I have seen such a boat. My lord, let me ask, how does such a big boat move?" .” White Beard stared at Allen with wide-eyed eyes.

Allen said with a smile: "You can feel these for yourself later. I swear, my Mr. Captain, you will fall in love with this ship."

White Beard didn't say anything, but looked around.

"Gates. Have you arranged all the weapons on this ship?" Allen said, looking at Gates.

"I've already arranged the location of the weapons. It's just that it's not suitable for installation when it's launched, so it's being moved now. Look, I've brought all those big guys here." Gates pointed to the deck.

I saw that black wooden boxes were lifted up one by one, and the wooden boxes were opened only to reveal black cannons one by one.

Allen nodded with a smile

naval battle!Naval battles in this world are still limited to long-range bow and arrow shooting, magic attacks, and melee combat where people jump off the deck after contact.

That was the earliest days of naval warfare.

And Allen didn't want this. They already had weapons like artillery, so why should they fight with others on the sea.

"My lord, according to my original design, ten cannons can be placed on each side of the hull, a total of twenty cannons. Two cannons at the bow and two at the stern, adding up to a total of 24 cannons." Gates said excitedly .

"Very good. When we drive out, we can test shoot." Allen said with a smile.

And the white beard next to him looked suspiciously at those iron guys and the way those people moved them. These things should be very heavy.

The hull is already heavy, but if these things are added, this big guy can still run.
