Extraordinary Sailing

call--

At the end of autumn, in the northwest wind blowing sea breeze.

Two huge dark fleets have already set up their battles in this sea area that is the natural border between Phalatis and Ilya. The only ones who can fight against them are each other. Even if a ferocious sea monster breaks into this place, they will be mercilessly torn to pieces.

This doomed war is a war against the alliance, and it is also a bloody battle for the founding of the "Republic of Ilia". There is no room for either side to retreat.

For the Tulip Alliance, betraying the faith, betraying the alliance, massacring nobles, and subverting the royal power are all heinous felonies. Confederate armies will enter every city, every village, and show the rebellious bourgeois what it is: the iron fist of tyranny.

For the bourgeois, all intrigues and tricks are outdated at this time. Even if there is a true god behind them as a backer, only the powerful coalition forces that defeat the alliance can make them truly gain a firm foothold on this land.

Moreover, among the countries of the Tulip Islands that lack strategic depth, the most powerful navy is the sea barrier. As long as the navy decides the outcome, the war can basically be declared over.

Forces of both sides:

The coalition forces have a total of forty-five battleships above Tier 4, such as the "Glory" and "Storm Horn" of the Phalatis Kingdom, the "Royal Guard" of the Tyro Kingdom, the "Santa Ana" of the Tulip Principality, and the "Santa Ana" of the Palos Kingdom. Prince of Asturia", led by six quasi-legendary battleships of the Kingdom of Thessaly "Nepton Poseidon".

On the side of the Republic of Ilia, the former Royal Navy still has thirty-six battleships above rank four, and the three quasi-legendary ships are the "Grand Republic", "Liberty and Equality", and "Bourgeois" that have been urgently renamed by the Constituent Assembly .

There are also a larger number of nearly a hundred three-masted fast ships headed by the flagship of the Pirate King's flagship, the quasi-legendary "Icon of Eternity", all of which are pirate raiding ships that have replaced their black sails.

In fact, in the two hundred years of great voyages, naval battles of this scale may have been rare.

Normally.

If a country invests money in merchant ships, merchant ships are actually "capital". As long as they can make a trip to the triangular trade, it will be at least 600% of the profit, and they can make a lot of money with just a few round trips.

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

Therefore, maintaining sea power is usually expensive, but its effectiveness is very slow.

As a result, naval fleets are often used by countries as a tool to deter and prevent wars. Countries often achieve political goals without launching wars by mobilizing or threatening to use the navy.

For many oceanic economies, an arms race of catching up with each other is more attractive than outright war.

The key to the victory of this competition model lies in the overall strength of the country, such as extraordinary power, navy, commerce, politics, talents and industrial assets, etc., which can avoid the destruction and loss caused by a real war.

in addition.

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

No one would be so stupid as to spend money and expand armaments regardless of the actual situation, and compete for the title of the world's number one navy.

They pay more attention to the establishment of a sea power rather than a pure naval power, so the comparison of the naval power of various countries can basically be equated with overseas interests.

So it was with Cyrus, so it was with Phalitis, and so it was with Ilya who was besieged at this time.

While the battleship fleets were facing each other, the quasi-legendary warships of the "Alliance" and "Republic" opened up another battlefield. On the surface it appears to be six against four, and the situation is greatly in favor of the alliance.

Aiwen was standing on the command post of the poop of the "Storm Horn", and his cloak was already fluttering with the cool sea breeze.

Behind him, apart from his sister Anita, the first mate Boris, the navigator Milan, the boatswain Gary, the sail captain Wade, the newly promoted warrant officer Fleck and other officers performed their duties.

A battleship with five extraordinary officers, the lineup is already luxurious to the point of extravagance, but for Ivan who can mass-produce extraordinary, it is nothing at all.

There are also three mysterious figures in gray robes and hoods, guarding Anita's side like bodyguards.

Anita, who was carrying the giant dragon-slaying sword, no longer wore a golden mask. With her heroic face, magnificent emerald long hair, and tall figure, she was sassy and beautiful.

Between the New World and the top leaders of the alliance, it has long been no secret that "Emerald Light", one of the golden kings of the ocean countries, is the sister of Ivan Garriott.

The siblings are no longer the little people who needed to carefully hide themselves in the past to avoid being discovered by their enemies, but now they have the confidence to live in the sun.

And today, ten years later, we will make a final settlement with the culprit of the bloody night in "Black Rock Town"!

Because Hereford City behind the Republic Fleet on the opposite side is the residence of the Egret Chamber of Commerce and the place where Wright made his fortune, and even the "Spiritual Network" has captured him and Jerome head-on.

Obviously, in this battle that will determine their own destiny, they will not be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Based on Aiwen's current status, he is already qualified to read most of the confidential information of the king. The current Ilya Navy battleship has a total tonnage of sixty-five (thousand tons), and the current fleet is probably a collection of all the forces they have mastered. .

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

Suddenly, a thief-like voice sounded in Aiwen's ear:

"Evan, hey hey hey"

As usual, the "psychic network" has enveloped the entire fleet, and the main officers have obtained secondary communication permissions. Before the battle, they were even allowed to communicate with each other in private using [Reading Words].

Among the six quasi-legendary battleships, the right side of the "Storm Horn" is the "Brilliant" which is the flagship of the fleet, and the left side is his old friend the "Royal Guard" of the Tyro Kingdom.

"Bertram, the battle is approaching, what are you going to do?"

Hearing that it was Burtram Solomon's voice, Ivan said in a bad mood. If it weren't for the fact that the Kingdom of Tailuo was the half-funder of this large-scale military operation, he wouldn't even want to deal with this guy with impure motives and other plans.

The Netherlands Bank Group, which had experienced a huge loss, could not let go of the opportunity to retaliate in the face of Huggins, the big enemy. After learning about this operation, it supported Taylor and the alliance with a large amount of military expenditure.

However, the Alliance can vaguely feel the deep wait-and-see mentality hidden in the Netherlands. After all, if you talk about bourgeois, who in the entire human civilization world can compare with them? If it weren't for Huggins being on the opposite side, it's not sure who this group of big bankers will choose to help in the end.

"We are all good friends. We haven't seen each other for three years. Can't we catch up on the old days? Miss Anita, don't you think so? I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to dinner after this battle?

Ilya's grilled sardines, paella, Iraqi-style roast suckling pig, and smoked ham are all famous products. "

This noble son of a famous family with the attributes of a glutton was obviously a drunkard who didn't care about drinking. Using Aiwen's excuse, he led to Anita before finishing a sentence.

Obviously, even after several years, he still never forgets the powerful female knight who once saved herself from the large sea monster "Iron Armored Seahorse". When she learned that this was actually Aiwen's sister, she jumped three feet high.

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

He squinted at Solomon who was standing on the poop next door. It was the contempt of the pirate king, and he said lightly: "I'm not interested. Men will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword."

When Anita returned to the New World to take over the "Dragon Cavalry", she already had the strength equivalent to a third-tier senior. Now it has finally reached the level of senior dragon veins, and its attributes are almost not inferior to the third-order peak of normal human beings.

Coupled with [activated skin · upper sea emperor dragon], even if you touch the fourth level in a short period of time, there will be no problem.

Three years later, under the training of the Solomon family, a thousand-year-old family of wizards, the 31-year-old Burtram Solomon, although he already possesses the strength of a peak official wizard, is still not good enough in front of Anita.

"Miss Anita, I"

Unwillingly, I wanted to try again.

woo woo woo.

The wind suddenly picked up.

A thunderous roar suddenly sounded over this sea area:

"Ghoul Pickman comes up to lead the death!"

A golden flash of lightning shot straight into the sky in the "Alliance Fleet", and Pickman, the named monster in the "Republic Fleet" "Laughing Tunnel Forager" also soared into the sky without showing any weakness.

Rumble.

Immediately, the sky was accompanied by billowing thunder, and fluttering frost and snow fell down.

The battle of the fourth-order transcendent is enough to affect the sky.

In the Tulip League, Phalatis Kingdom, which is currently ranked number one, is guarded by the Kingdom: Grand Duke Lionheart of "Brilliant Glory", Ilvedi "Sword Master of Roses"; "Augustus;

**** There is no exclusive titled knight in the Tulip Principality (the Theocracy); the Kingdom of Palos has the "Hand of God" Grover, who has both the identity of the founder of the Fourth Dynasty of Palos and the Holy Knight of the Church; The Kingdom of Thessaly has Antonio, who "wrestled with the bear".

Of course, all the titled knights in the Tulip Kingdoms who rely on [Potion - Seven Gods Stairway] to advance are essentially subordinate to the goddess, which is the embodiment of her dominance in the mortal world.

in addition.

In addition to Ilya's "Raging Waves", there are a total of five remaining guardians of the kingdom. Although "Brilliant Glory" and "Wrestling with the Bear" are much younger than "Raging Waves", they are also contemporaries, and it is no longer suitable for them to leave the capital to engage in high-intensity battles.

Because the titled knight as the pinnacle of power is related to the national roots of the countries, it can also be said that the current situation of the Tulip Alliance is that there is more than enough defense but not enough aggressiveness. Even though they have the same number of titles as Sirius, they are still at an absolute disadvantage.

In the sky that day, the two peak combat powers were fighting at the same time.

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

As the commander of the fleet, Rear Admiral Demond Brand issued an order to the entire fleet at the same time:

"Order: The entire fleet advances in double columns and intercepts them!"

at the same time.

As the flagship "Brilliant" suddenly burst into light, the countless runes carved on the hull and sails were connected together, and a huge golden ball of light was formed on the spear-shaped figure of the ship's bow. The sun is dimmed.

[Extraordinary Ability Sun Spear]

A beam of light turned into a shining sun lance, carrying the heat that seemed to boil the sea, and flew towards the "Icon of Eternity", which was the flagship of the Republic Fleet, directly opposite.

Even among the real legendary warships, this attack is definitely not weak, but the cooling time is too long and too restrictive, and the solar energy accumulated for half a month in midsummer can only be launched once.

Huggins, who was wearing a marshal's uniform, stood on the poop with a wanton smile and raised his hand slightly.

Crash.

A huge dark blue warship that was equivalent to a first-class ship suddenly smashed into the sea surface, mixed with huge water bubbles, emerged from the bottom of the sea, and blocked the front of the "Icon of Eternity".

call--

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

But before everyone in the alliance figured out what the enemy was doing, they saw that the ship had begun to recover rapidly as the sea water poured into the hull.

The brilliant and extraordinary aura on this battleship burst out, making everyone on the battlefield realize the fact that this is a truly legendary battleship! The ability of infinite recovery is the characteristic of this [Legendary Battleship Sea Soul] - "homogeneous sea current".

"The secrecy work is really necessary. If you didn't bring the legendary battleship, you are already doomed! Huh?"

Amid the cheers of the members of the Republic, Huggins was about to control the [Sea Soul] to launch a counterattack, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a butterfly made of emeralds slipping past the corner of his eyes.

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