Start with an Archangel

It seems that Joyce really has no soldiers.

Climbing along the pole did not achieve Daliang's original purpose, but the four heroic captains and 50 archers were also valuable extra rewards, although the bows and arrows had to be purchased at your own expense.

Sidney mentioned to Daliang many times that in order for the Blackfire Fleet to become combat effective, it must have enough captains. Daliang originally wanted to go to the tavern in Shangjiang City to recruit a few, but unexpectedly, Joyce solved them before he went there, and they were all heroic units with basic navigation skills.

Captain stunts are divided into various categories. Primary navigation skills can not only speed up the ship driven by the hero, but its hidden attributes also mean that the hero has good navigation experience. As long as he is assigned a ship, he can immediately form combat effectiveness.

But not all heroes have navigation skills. Most of the captains recruited from the tavern are blank slates without any special skills. Even the hero's specialties may be: swearing, alcoholism, aggression and other weird things. If you want to make these For a very ordinary hero to become a qualified captain, in addition to automatic understanding through long-term sailing experience, you can also buy a skill book and let them learn it directly.

In short, it is not easy to train a qualified captain. The four captains given by Joyce can be said to be a timely help.

The 50 archers were also specially allocated by Joyce based on the strength of the Black Fire Leader. The Black Fire Leader's army, with skeleton soldiers as the main force, lacked sufficient long-range troops. Although the battle at sea is mainly based on artillery bombardment, the long-range troops on the ship can prevent the enemy's flying troops from getting too close. Together with a small number of griffons, they can protect the sky above the ship.

Archers and griffons are the most common combination of human armies.

With the support of Joyce, the biggest problem of the Black Fire Fleet was solved. Then, facing the 200 unicorns that were hit in the cabin, Da Liang was confident that he could drown them one by one.

"With heroes and soldiers like the admiral, I will take over this mission." Daliang took over the mission and looked at the chart and asked Joyce: "Where is this troop transport fleet from Hong Kong? I will take it with me right away. The ship will kill them."

"I don't know yet..."

"I don't know?" Daliang was a little confused. Why did you ask me to take on this task? We all work at sea. You don’t know how big the sea is. If you ask me to block this fleet and you don’t give me a place, where can I find it?

Joyce shrugged and said: "Because it was too late for us to pay attention to this information, this fleet left Victoria Harbor yesterday afternoon. I just calculated and deduced it on the chart. At noon four days later, this fleet will It should reach the southern waters off Shangjiang."

"should?"

"Well! It should be. The troop transport ships in this troop transport fleet are ordinary three-masted merchant ships. Its ship speed is the sailing speed of the entire fleet. I first estimated the basic ship speed of the three-masted merchant ship when it is fully loaded, and then After correcting it based on the wind direction and wind strength of the recent monsoon along the coast, I calculated that the three-masted merchant ship could reach sailing speed, and then weighted it based on the changes in ocean currents in the sea areas the fleet passed through to calculate the actual speed of the fleet. Finally, I got the time of their arrival. "

Daliang felt a little weird: "It's all estimates and calculations? Based on these things, you asked me to intercept a fleet at sea? Are you so confident that they will arrive by that time?"

Joyce smiled and said: "How do you think I got the position of Admiral of the Pudong Fleet? Just because I am the Crown Prince's fiancée? Don't worry, I will definitely return if I say this fleet will arrive in four days, not at the latest It’s past noon. Just go and receive the soldiers I gave you and prepare for an ambush.”

Daliang didn't know where Joyce's confidence came from, but since she said the troop transport would arrive at noon four days later, he could only believe her, but said: "The southern sea area off Shangjiang is too general, isn't it? It's also very big. It’s a sea area, what if I don’t see them running past me?”

Joyce sneered: "Sometimes war is all about luck. If you can stop these unicorns, Hong Kong City will not dare to continue to support Chongming City from the sea when the waterway is threatened. If you did not stop them, Chongming Cheng Cheng's strength will be greatly improved if he gets these unicorns. I don't know if he will attack Feichen Island first..."

Daliang was suddenly startled and asked, "What do you mean, Lord Admiral?"

"Hmph... When I came back from Feichen Island yesterday, I suddenly thought of something. The golden dragons on the island may not be as simple as I thought. If these golden dragons are not hidden by the elves on the island... and the elves let the golden dragons hide on the island... What is being protected on the island? Something that allows Joshua to use an archangel and two golden dragons to protect must be very valuable. If he has enough troops, do you think he should attack Jiangcheng first or Feichen Island first? "

A faint smile appeared on Joyce's face, which made Da Liang's heart tingle. He immediately pretended to be nonchalant and said: "I'm just kidding, what good things can come from a broken island..."

"I am not interested in whether there is anything on the island. I only care about how to win this war. In this regard, you and my enemy are the same. So... in four days, use all your skills Come out with all your troops, find this troop transport fleet and destroy them."

Daliang said solemnly: "I know, I will find them."

Joyce relied on his own ability and experience to give Da Liang the time and approximate sea area for the arrival of the troop transport. But this sea area is still too big for the Blackfire Fleet with few ships. How to find it? Da Liang had no idea in his mind.

Daliang walked out of the Pudong fleet and walked to the commercial port not far from the military port. Regardless of whether he could intercept the troop transport ship in Hong Kong City in time, he had to strengthen his attributes first. He is the main hero of the entire Black Fire Territory, and his The stronger the strength, the more powerful the soldiers under his command will be.

Daliang made a four-day upgrade plan in his mind. In addition, equipment was also an important part of improving the player's power.

The prosperous Shangjiang City Commercial Port Market is also a free trade zone for players. Players can exchange items they don’t need here for gold coins, including various materials, skill books, equipment and soldiers.

More of them are players and merchants.

"Attention, attention, the ship bound for Qingdao City is about to leave. A three-masted merchant ship has a load of 1,000 and there are still 325 vacancies. Friends who want to join the ship should hurry up and load the goods. This ship is led by a professional and experienced businessman. He has a good driving record of four safe trips from Shangjiang to Qingdao... and a sailing record to ensure boat speed and safety."

"The members of the September 9th Brotherhood immediately went to the Maritime Merchant Association to purchase silk. They bought all the quotas.
