Extraordinary Voyage

Chapter 605 Duel

Phew—

In the late autumn season, the sea breeze from the northwest wind is blowing.

Two monstrous fleets have already taken up positions on this Sea Territory, which is the natural border between Pharetis and Ilya. The only people who can fight against them are each other, and even if a ferocious sea monster breaks into this place, they will be torn to shreds ruthless.

This doomed war is a battle of retribution for the alliance, and a battle for the founding of the “Ilia Republic” bathed in blood and fire. There is no room for anyone on both sides to retreat.

For the Tulip Alliance, betrayal of the faith, betrayal of the alliance, slaughter of nobles, and subversion of royal power are all heinous crimes. Alliance armies will enter every city, every village, and let the rebellious bourgeoisie know what it is: the Iron Fist of the tyrannical tyranny.

For the bourgeoisie, all crafty plots and machinations at this time are out of date. Even if there is a True God behind them as a backer, only the powerful coalition forces that can defeat the alliance in an upright manner can make them truly gain a firm foothold on this land.

In addition, among the Tulip Islands countries that lack strategic depth, the most powerful navy is the navy that acts as a sea barrier. As long as the navy decides the winner, the war can basically be declared over.

The strength of both sides:

The coalition side has a total of forty-five battleships of Level 4 and above, the “Brilliant” and “Storm Cape” of the Pharetis Kingdom, the “Taero Kingdom” “Imperial Family Guardian”, Tulip dukedom “Santa Ana”, Palos Kingdom “Asturia Prince”, Thessaly Kingdom “Nipton Poseidon”, a total of six quasi-Legendary battleships headed.

On the side of the Republic of Ilia, the former Royal Navy also has 36 battleships above Level 4, and the three quasi-Legendary ships are the “Grand Republic” and “Freedom and Equality” that have been urgently renamed by the Constituent Assembly. “, “Bourgeois No.”.

There are also a larger number of three-masted fast ships headed by the flagship of the Pirate King, the quasi-Legendary “Eternal Icon”. .

In fact, in the two hundred years of the great voyage, naval battles of this scale may have been rarely seen.

Normally.

If a country invests money in a merchant ship, the merchant ship is actually “capital”. As long as it can run a triangular trade, it will be at least 600% of the profit, and it only takes a few round trips. You can make a lot of money.

But if the money is spent on warships, unless it is used for looting, it is difficult to produce any direct benefits.

As a result, maintaining sea power is often expensive but slow to be effective.

As a result, naval fleets are often used by states as a tool to deter wars, and states often achieve political goals by mobilizing or threatening to use their navies without waging war.

For many maritime economies, a catch-all arms race is more attractive than outright war.

The key to the success of this competitive model lies in the nation’s overall strength, such as extraordinary power, navy, commerce, politics, talent, and industrial assets, to avoid the damage and loss of a real war.

Additionally.

Any reliable maritime armed force needs suitable maritime trade as its foundation. The navy has to guarantee and protect the merchant ship, and the taxes paid by the merchant ship are in turn invested in the construction of the fleet.

No one would be stupid enough to spend money madly to expand armaments regardless of the actual situation, and compete for the title of the world’s first navy.

They pay more attention to the establishment of a sea power rather than a simple naval power, so the comparison of naval power of various countries can basically draw a High Level number with overseas interests.

This is true of Cyrus, this is true of Pharretis, and this is true of Ilya, who is besieged at this time.

While the battleship Grand Fleet faced off, the quasi-Legendary battleship of the “Alliance side” and “Republic side” opened up another battlefield. On the surface, it was a six-on-four situation, and the situation was greatly favorable to the alliance side.

Alwin stood in command of the poop of the Cape Storm, his cloak rattling in the already cool sea breeze.

Behind him, in addition to the elder sister Anita, first mate Boris, navigator Milan, bosun Gary, sailmaster Vader, new warrant officer Flake and other officers perform their duties. .

A battleship is equipped with five transcender officers. The lineup is luxurious to the point of luxury, but for Alwin who can mass-produce transcender, it is nothing at all.

There are also three mysterious persons in grey robes and hoods, guarding Anita’s side like bodyguards.

Anita, who was carrying the giant Dragon Slaying Sword on her back, no longer wore a golden mask. Her face full of heroic spirit was paired with magnificent long emerald hair and a tall figure, sassy and beautiful.

Between the new continent and the top leaders of the alliance, it is no secret that “Emerald Light”, one of the two kings of the Yellow Golden Sea who is famous in the ocean countries, is the elder sister of Alwin Garriott. .

The two brothers and sisters are no longer a nobody who needed to hide themselves cautiously in the past to avoid being discovered by their enemies, and have the confidence to live in the sun.

And ten years from now, we must make a break with the culprit of the bloody night of “Black Rock Town”!

Because the city of Hereford behind the Republic fleet on the opposite side is the seat of the egret Chamber of Commerce, and it is also where Wright made his fortune, and even the “spirit net network” has captured him and him head-on. Jerome’s silhouette.

Evidently, in this battle that decides their own destiny, they cannot sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

With Alwin’s current status, he is already qualified to read most of the classified information of the king. At present, the total tonnage of the Ilya navy battleship is 65 (thousand tons), and this fleet is probably already under their control. A collection of all the powers.

Therefore, this battle will never be protracted, and Ilya’s national fortune will be decided in one battle.

Suddenly, a thief voice sounded in Alwin’s ear:

“Alwin, hehehe”

“spirit net network” has been enveloped as usual After the entire fleet, the main officers were given secondary communication authority, and they were even allowed to communicate with each other in private using [Speaking] before the war.

Among the six quasi-Legendary battleships, on the right side of “Cape Storm” is the “Brilliant” as the flagship of the fleet, and on the left side is the “Imperial Family Guard” of his old friend Taro Kingdom.

“Bertram, the Great War General is near, what are you doing?”

Hearing the voice of Bertram Solomon, Alwin said ill-humoredly. If it weren’t for the fact that the Kingdom of Taro was the half-financier of this large-scale military operation, he would not want to pay attention to this guy with impure motives and other plans.

The Netherlands Bank Group, which had experienced a huge loss, faced Hudgens, the big enemy, of course, it was impossible to let go of the opportunity for revenge. After learning of this action, they supported Taylor and the Alliance. military spending.

However, the Alliance can also vaguely feel the deeply hidden wait-and-see mentality of the Netherlands. After all, if we talk about the bourgeoisie, who can compare with them in the entire human civilization world? If it wasn’t for Huggins on the opposite side, it’s really uncertain who this group of big bankers will ultimately choose to help.

“We are all good friends. We haven’t seen each other for three years. Can’t we catch up with each other? Miss Anita, don’t you think so? I wonder if he has the honor to ask you to join us after this war. What about dinner?

Ilya’s grilled sardines, seafood rice, Italian-style roast suckling pig, and smoked ham are all famous.”

This self-contained foodie Attribute’s famous Young Master obviously did not intend to drink alcohol. With Alwin’s excuse, he led Anita to him without finishing a sentence.

Obviously, even after a few years, the mighty Dame who once rescued himself from the large-scale sea monster “Iron Seahorse” still can’t forget it. When she learned that this was actually Alwin’s elder sister, she jumped three feet high.

Anyway, this guy who feels good about himself feels that among all the unmarried people here, in terms of family, ability, and sincerity, no one except Alwin can compare to him.

He glanced at Solomon, who was standing on the poop next door. It was contempt from the pirate king, and he said lightly: “No interest, men will only affect the speed of my sword drawing.”

p>

When Anita returned to the new continent to take over the “Dragons”, she already had the same strength as a third rank senior. Now that he has finally reached the level of senior Dragon Vein, the attribute is almost as good as the peak of the third rank of normal humans.

With the addition of [Revitalized Skin·High-ranking Sea Emperor Dragon], even if you touch the fourth rank in a short time, there is no problem.

After three years, under the training of the famous wizard Solomon family for thousands of years, the now 31-year-old Bertram Solomon has the strength of the peak official wizard, but still in front of Anita. not enough to watch.

“Miss Anita, I”

I want to try harder.

wu wu wu .

The wind blew up.

A thunderous boom suddenly rang out over this Sea Territory:

“ghoul Pickman come up to lead the death!”

In “Alliance Fleet” A golden light shot straight into the sky, and Pickman, the title monster “Sneering Tunnel Forager” in the “Republic Fleet”, also rose into the sky without showing weakness.

Rumbling.

Immediately, in the sky accompanied by rolling thunder, fluttering frost and snow fell.

The battle of the fourth rank transcender was enough to affect Celestial Phenomenon.

In the Tulip Alliance, the kingdom of Phaletis currently ranked first has kingdom guardians: “Brilliant Glory” Lionheart Archduke, “Rose Sword Saint” Ilvedi; the second ranked Kingdom of Taylor There is Augustus with “Lightning Halberd”;

****’s tulip dukedom (Ecclesiastical Nation) has no exclusive title Knight; Palos Kingdom has “Hand of God” Grover, he also has The founder of the Fourth Dynasty of Palos and the Knight of the Church God have two identities; the kingdom of Thessaly has “wrestling with the bear” Antonio.

Of course, all the titles of the Tulip Kingdoms who rely on the [Magic Medicine Seven Divine Rank Ladder] to advance to the title Knight are essentially subordinate to Goddess, which is the embodiment of their dominance in the mortal world.

Additionally.

In addition to Ilya’s “Raging Tide”, there are a total of five remaining kingdoms guarding. Although “Brilliant Glory” and “Wrestling with the Bear” are much younger than “Raging Waves”, they are also contemporaries, and it is no longer suitable to leave the capital for high-intensity battles.

Because the title Knight, as the peak power, is related to the national capital of various countries, it can also be said that the current situation of the Tulip League is that the defense is more than enough and aggressive. Even if the number of titles is similar to that of Cyrus, it is still at an absolute disadvantage.

When in the sky, the two peak battle strengths started at the same time.

The conventional fleets of the two sides have begun to approach slowly. The main fleet of the Republic is using conventional line tactics, while a large number of three-masted fast ships are gathered in two sections, trying to use the pirates’ expertise to take advantage of the chaos. sideboard.

As the Fleet Commander, Rear Admiral Demond Brand simultaneously issued an order to the entire fleet:

“Order: The entire fleet advances in double column, cut them off!”

At the same time.

The flagship “Brilliant” suddenly shines brightly, the countless rune spells depicted on the hull and sails are connected together, and a huge golden light ball is on the lance-shaped head portrait of the bow. Formed, the sunlight in this Sea Territory is dimmed.

【Supernatural ability·Sun lance】

A beam of light turned into a shining sun lance, carrying the heat that seemed to boil the sea, and flew towards the flagship of the Republic Fleet. “Eternal Icon”.

Even in a real Legendary battleship, this blow is definitely not weak, but the cooling time is too long and the limit is too large, and the solar energy accumulated for half a month in midsummer can only be activated once.

Huggins, who was wearing a marshal’s uniform, stood on the podium with a wanton smile and raised his hand lightly.

crash-bang .

A deep blue huge battleship equivalent to a Level 1 ship suddenly smashed the sea surface, mixed with huge blisters emerging from the seabed, blocking it. The front of the “Eternal Icon”.

Phew——

Silently, the hull seemed to be vaporized, and a large hole with a diameter of several meters was broken directly at the waterline, and the turbulent seawater poured in frantically.

But before everyone in the alliance could figure out what the enemy did, they saw that as the sea water poured into the hull, it had begun to recover quickly.

The splendid supernatural light on this battleship shot out, making everyone on the battlefield realize the fact that this is a real Legendary battleship! The ability to restore infinitely is the characteristic of this [Legendary battleship Sea Soul] – “the same quality of ocean currents”.

“Secret work is indeed very necessary. Without bringing the Legendary battleship, you are already doomed! Huh?”

In the cheers of the members of the Republic, Huggins Just as he was about to control the [Sea Soul] to launch a counterattack, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a butterfly that seemed to be made of emeralds slipping quietly from the corner of his eye.

Then the second and the third turned into an emerald-like river of light.
