Not a Witch

"And our Karites can't fall behind, and even have to plan ahead to prepare for possible future wars."

"So, I need someone I can trust to carry out the tough tasks."

"Blake is willing to follow Missy's will." He knelt down on one knee and swore to promise.

After that, Miss Lacey gave him thick blueprints, many materials, inheritance gems, and even panacea to improve his own strength, so that a year later, he stepped into Sequence 5, and now he has just been promoted to Sequence 6.

And in these years, he has been traveling to and from the island and various places, buying various materials, and handing them over to technicians. Under his witness, he built this giant shipyard step by step, and then spent several years gradually perfecting the construction of this huge shipyard. Several giant warships.

Until today, these steel warships have not been fully completed.

"Master Lund is here." A guard came in to report, and then a man in a gray-black coat came over.

His clothes and hands are still a little dusty and oily. Most people can't see the demeanor of a master, but only the staff here know that this alchemist has studied battleship technology assiduously, and his knowledge and understanding are so deep that outsiders can hardly imagine.

In order to test the best hull structure, he led his mage apprentices to do hundreds of experiments in the nearby waters, and built model and experimental ships one after another.Until the birth of the last three battleships.

"Master Black, what do you want from me?" Although Lund is the chief technology officer of the island, Black, as Miss Lacey's agent, is in charge of everything and has a higher status.

"Miss Lacey wrote a letter recently, here." Regarding Lorraine Hill's instructions, Black has nothing to hide.

Lund took the letter paper and looked at it carefully.

The letter told Black and Lund that the Cranberry Kingdom has now agreed to a full alliance with Clancia, and Carites and New Verga will also participate in it.After the three battleships are reorganized, they will go directly into the water, drive to the front line, join the fleet of the Chuberry Kingdom, and then fight against the Frost United fleet.

"Has this day finally come?" Lund sighed.

Although he was born in the Frost Union, because of his poverty and being in a small faction, he was excluded and despised a lot, and then he led the students to migrate to Verga.I don't want to end up going to the opposite side of the former country after many years.

However, in the current Ivar world, the concept of family and country is not prominent, and he did not receive any favors when he was in Luerna, and he moved away with his family afterwards, so he will not feel uncomfortable because of this.I just sigh that the world is impermanent, and the circumstances of life vary greatly.

The third-rate alchemist who was ignored in Luerna before and who was ignored everywhere has now turned himself into the technical chief of the Carites Chamber of Commerce. If the war is won, he can even get a good position in the subsequent countries. It was unimaginable to him.

"I see, I will let the apprentices and juniors take care of it." He looked at the giant warship that towered close to the dome in front of him, took a few steps forward, approached slowly, and then gently stroked the hard steel hull .

When the Cubberry Kingdom was still using sail-driven warships, Frost United had already started using sail-tail rotor hybrid ironclad warships.Its shape is probably similar to the battleship in the First World War in Lorraine Hill's memory.

The outer layer has a thick wrought iron shell, with a half-meter-thick teak partition in the middle to relieve impact and shells, and there are several layers of steel structure on the innermost side, which can be regarded as an ironclad battleship mixed with wood and steel.

The technology left by Lorraine Hill was aimed at the classic design of World War II in memory, the template of the dreadnought ship, for improvement.From the beginning, the heavy and windy mast sail was abandoned, and it was propelled purely by the powerful propeller at the tail.

The size of the battleship has also been stretched to more than 200 meters, with a displacement of more than 24000 tons. There are two sets of magic steam turbines inside. The speed can reach up to 28 knots, and it can also advance at 20 knots in normal times, far exceeding the current average speed of 18 knots of Frost United. ship.

The bottom of the hull adopts a sealed compartment, and the armor structure is optimized. There are five double-linked 5mm caliber main turrets on the hull.Its main gun was originally designed as an ordinary magic gun.But last year, Lorraine Hill sent a new design drawing based on the information of the Twilight Era.

Londe still hasn't fully digested the esoteric engravings and theories. Fortunately, he only needs to follow suit. No matter what the lines mean, as long as he can run, he seems to be fine.

And such a main cannon, which is far superior to Frost Alliance, [Zhi Ke Cannon] (Evaluation: Rare Pearl Level) was built.This is also the best combination that Lorraine Hill can create after using the system to estimate.

She knows that there are many extremely advanced technologies and weapons in the Twilight Era, but at present, due to the fact that a series of industrial chains such as basic materials, personnel, facilities, etc. have not been completed, she can only sigh and leave them in the system for the time being.

"Has Miss Lacey finalized the names of the three warships?" Londe asked suddenly.

"Well, they are No. [-] ship Aglaia, No. [-] ship Talia, and No. [-] ship Ophrone, which are the three goddesses of grace."

With the launch of these three 'Dreadnought-class' battleships, thousands of crew members from the Carites Chamber of Commerce boarded the battleships, and gradually became familiar with them under the guidance of the technical officer. Heading towards the Baby Berry Kingdom.

------

A week later, Jingyue Strait.

"Report to Lord Black, the enemy is found ahead!"

In the spacious and light-colored conning tower, Blake hadn't fully adapted to the new warship when an early warning sound came from the horn on the side.

"It seems that the other party won't give us time to prepare this time, Master Lund." Blake said to the alchemist in a purple and white military uniform.

"Indeed, but it's also a good time to experiment with our results." Londe looked at the constantly churning waves outside the window, feeling overwhelmed.A desire and idea to prove himself hovered in his heart.

He also wanted to surprise those who had looked down upon others and feel the unparalleled power of this battleship.

"The main gun is ready." Black said to the horn on the side.

"Yes!" A series of neat responses came from the pipe.

The thick and oppressive large main turret slowly rotated. With the continuous focusing and adjustment of the aiming device, the muzzle of the main gun slowly drooped, aiming at the armored fleet in the distance.And the new-style magic furnace in the battleship is also continuously charged, complicated and exquisite enchanting lines appear on the barrel, and the shells gradually turn red and then turn yellow.

"Fire!"

There was a dull concussion sound from the muzzle, and the huge recoil caused the warship with a displacement of more than 24000 tons to tilt slightly, and then a few golden shells glowing with red light directly broke through the atmosphere, piercing through the entire ship with terrifying power. The enemy ship kilometers away will be blown up directly, forming rising fragments and flames.

"how is this possible?"

On the iron-clad ship of Frost United, a high-ranking mage couldn't believe it. He stared blankly at the battleship that was surging and burning on the sea, and then slowly sank.

As an elite mage of Luerna's faction, he has always been proud of the technology the country possesses. Where did the battleship with the purple flower and starlight flag come from? How could it have such a powerful magic cannon? Warships several times the size of one's own side.

Is that the masterpiece of the Young Moon Council?But don't they reject machinery and steel, what is the matter?Countless questions swirl in my mind, but I don't have time to think about it right now.

The terrifying giant cannon on the opposite battleship spewed out flames one after another, and the red cannonballs shot forward with astonishing power.

Even though the light blue barriers rose up from the hull of the ship, they were blasted through by the god-like hammer of anger, allowing countless water to flow in, and finally the ship gradually sank.

"Counterattack, counterattack! Counterattack!"

A naval commander eagerly yelled at the artillery crew inside the battleship, his face glowing red with excitement.

bang bang-

With the firing of the cannon engraved with the lines of magic power, the 40 cannons on the ship fired sequentially from the back to the front, and the shells shot at the three enemy warships like screaming black dots.

But it's a pity that most of them fell into the sea before they reached the three warships, and they could only splash useless water.

"Damn it, speed up!"

The general of the Ironclad Fleet became angry, and asked his flagship to raise a special signal flag, then run the magic furnace at full power, increase the propulsion, and want to drive forward.

On the Carites side, the observers also reported the situation to the flagship at the head after seeing it.

"Master Black, the other party hastened to catch up."

"Then we also speed up, trying to get rid of them and keep a distance."

So the two fleets launched an exciting chasing battle on the sea. More than 30 ironclad ships on one side were mighty, breaking through the waves and heading southwest.On the other side, the three Aglaia-class battleships crossed a long arc across the sea, constantly bombarding the enemy ships on the side and rear.

Compared with the armored fleet that can only chase the enemy directly with its bow, the three Aglaia-class battleships can not only maintain the range and superior distance at all times, but also have enough power to swing the arc, so that the hull of the ship presents a slanted T-shape Constantly shelling each other.

"No!"

In the chasing armored fleet, one battleship after another exploded under the artillery fire of the opponent, and the broken wrought iron and wood chips flew, and a huge orange-yellow shattered flame ball rose, and then sank into the cold abyss.

Such scenes were staged again and again, causing the crew and mages in the fleet to gradually lose their minds.They also tried to send a few mages into the air to attack the opponent's battleship, but unfortunately, before the mages in the air approached, they were smashed into pieces by the dense secondary guns in the air, turning into a humanoid firework, and finally fell into the sea .

And when the general of the Ironclad Fleet was struggling and hesitating whether to retreat, a senior mage advisor beside him stepped forward and said.

"My lord, our reinforcements are here."

Above the three Aglaia-class battleships, layers of dark clouds broke open, and iron-gray airships emerged from them one after another. There were still wisps of water mist on the wings of the sails of these airships that had not dissipated. , leaving a long wake in the air.

And as the swarm of more than 200 airships arrived, under the huge and layered shadows, the three warships that set sail for the first time seemed as small as fingers.

The sky seemed to darken suddenly, and the roar of the huge propellers reverberated in the sky, like a heavy gray sky falling, and the intense and dense fluctuations of extraordinary magic power made the crew on the three battleships feel suffocating and terrifying pressure.

There are dozens of mages on each airship, and there are more than 3000 magic sequence mages on the airship cluster. Among them, there are even elites of sequence 6-7, and some of them can even feel magic. Existence above Sequence 8.

In order to deal with the powerful Young Berry Kingdom, the Frost Alliance transferred its key forces to the Jingyue Strait, trying to block and defeat this fellow from the south, which is another lineage of mages left over from the country of Oz.

The vibrating red cannonballs fired furiously from the turret into the sky, and were then blocked by the vast and incomparable chain array.

Thousands of mages cast spells at the same time, and a blue magic array was formed in the sky. The vast and complicated lines were like a new sky, pressing down layer by layer, resisting the shells one by one under the array.

bang bang—

Broken shells exploded in the sky like fireworks, and then fell, splashing on the deck and the sea below.

Black walked out of the bridge, looking up at the airship that filled the sky, stretched out his hand to block the falling sparks and remaining ash, clenched his fist, and then loosened it weakly.

"Even if we have prepared for many years and have the advantages of technology, can we not resist such a huge national advantage?"

The suspended airships opened the hatches below, and began to stretch out their gun barrels to aim at the weak and lonely three warships below. The muzzles gradually turned from dark to orange and gradually charged.

And just as the crew on the battleship was slowly despairing, a flash of light lit up at the edge of the sky, followed by rolling thunder.

"Is it thundering? At this time."

A mage in the armored fleet looked up casually. At this time, the warships under him had stopped chasing, quietly watching the destruction of three enemy ships in the distance.

At dusk, under the thick and almost pitch-black lead cloud, a galloping lightning surged in the sky. It was a figure that was almost deformed. His body seemed to be made of golden electric light. As he ran close to the limit, he was pulled by time and space. Grow a long Razer.The terrifying coercion emanating from the shocking lightning actually conveyed the mighty power of Transcendent Sequence Nine.

The blazing magic power in this golden electric light is like a sharp arrow, piercing through the oppressive and stagnant gray sky, and piercing directly into the layers of dark airships above the sea.

And a spreading ripple suddenly rose in the airship cluster.

A man in an elegant robe appeared in the sky, his short black hair gradually turned white in the constant surge and release of magic power, and then turned into a blazing white-blue.Another sage of Magic Sequence 9 appeared.

"Time and space secret three o stagnation."

A huge clock dial emerged in the sky where the airship was located, with extremely precise gears and pointers on it, and then 6 small clock dials were separated inside, and as the pointer rotated, everything around seemed to freeze.

If the air is compared to clear water, and now the water seems to be frozen, in Black's perception, everything seems to be extremely slow, he wants to open his mouth to say something, but it took a long time for the teeth to leave the jaw slightly a few millimeters.

The fired cannonball had just left the muzzle, sliding slowly in the air, not much faster than a snail, he could clearly see the lines on it, and the spreading air waves.

The propellers on the airship in the sky also seemed to stop turning, and everything became quiet.

And when the blazing lightning plunged into the stagnant gray sky, it was like breaking countless glasses, creating a noisy trajectory in the space that was as quiet as stagnant water.

"Uleves, it's you." The man in the sky looked at the gradually clear thunder light, and the face in it allowed him to confirm the identity of the comer.

"Long time no see, pointer o Clark of the silver wheel."

Although the words on his lips were soothing and peaceful, the lightning in the sky suddenly flashed that day.

A shocking thunder light blasted the thick lead cloud in the sky, breaking the almost quiet space with the strongest force. After the blinding glare and thunder, the cold moonlight appeared in the night sky, and the airships of the airships The propeller turned again in the moonlight, and the world seemed to have sound again suddenly.

But the battle didn't end there, the sky's clock dial appeared again, its color was like silver, transparent and cold, and when its pointer turned, the two hundred airships in the sky suddenly disappeared, and then reappeared.

"Secret of time and space [-] o transfer."

Layers of airships are arranged in a huge circle in the sky, surrounding the golden light in the center, the muzzles on the airships suddenly fire, the dense flames are connected together, the sound is so dense that it is impossible to distinguish the interval, and the vented artillery fire converges towards the center , as if drawing a dense pattern pointing to the center of the circle in the sky.

And just as the lightning flashed again, another sage in the sky spoke again.

"The Mystery of Time and Space Four o Cutting"

The electric light in the center seemed to be temporarily trapped in a small spherical space, and then was flooded by countless flames and shells.
