Chapter 48—The Dragon That Doesn't Make People Worry About

South of the imperial capital, it is on the edge of a desert.

The scorching wind swept through the sparse planting woods of the wasteland, causing the already yellow grass leaves to curl up. Under the sunlight, the distant river was like a silk ribbon emitting silver light. It flowed far away and passed several times. A small town, and then went straight into the end of the field of vision.

At the end of the field of vision is the endless desert, which is the silent sandy land that separates the central area of ​​the empire from the southern fortress area. Because of the blocking of mountains, the humid air from the south cannot reach that small plain. In addition, the changes of underground water veins, The fertile plain that was originally thousands of years ago has become a silent wasteland now.

Above the wasteland, a huge steel craft slid across the sky steadily, casting a long and narrow shadow on the ground.

On the deck of the Gale, Joshua stood at the forefront of the ship, silently staring into the distance. The oncoming wind blew the warrior’s clothes and hair away from behind, and the wind also moved the giant. The flags on both sides of the ship made it hunt.

Above that banner, the five-star Huanyang and the coat of arms of the sword-holding hand are so conspicuous, attracting everyone's attention.

"A floating warship, it's really a shame that the emperor's majesty can say it."

He sighed softly, feeling the hot wind flowing beside him, and recalling the scene not long ago, Joshua couldn't help laughing: "Israel Diamond, this kind of courage is indeed the spirit of the emperor."

Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible for anyone to send a cutting-edge floating warship to others for no reason-the soldier is not a fool, he naturally knows the emperor's intentions.

According to Master Nostradamus, the sacred mountain in the distant seas asked the empire for help only to use his power of order to break through certain areas blocked by evil forces-but the empire did not agree to it. Since he agreed, it is absolutely impossible to let him go alone.

But sending an army across most of the world to fight the dragon beasts in the far south on the other side of the mainland is the worst choice, both from a practical point of view and from a morale point of view. Even the elite of the five legions may not be the best choice. Can help this matter, so Israel thought of a good idea.

Send out the floating battleship Gale, which is still in the experimental stage.

For the great mages of the Eastern Plains, air magic towers, floating islands, and even floating cities are nothing new. After all, things like the heart of the magic furnace were originally born in their laboratories, but the floating warships , But it is not such a simple thing. What it needs is not pure buoyancy, but stable and lasting power.

To make a behemoth levitate in the air, any archmage can easily do it after preparation, but to make a behemoth fly in the air is another very different problem, compared to not being able to move, or very mobile. For the slow floating island, the mana core of the floating warship must be miniaturized and stabilized, and in order to be mass-produced in the future and facilitate popularization, its production materials must also be as cheap as possible.

Before the Gale, the Empire had designed many floating warships, and many small airships had been manufactured. However, due to the insufficient power system, most of them were sealed up. Until today, through long-term experiments and calculations. , The mages finished debugging the Gale.

Sending this experimental floating warship out to assist the Church of the Seven Gods, even the most demanding people on the mainland can't say that the empire is indifferent to this matter, and with the power of this warship, it will definitely help the church resist the mad dragon. At the same time, it can also collect actual combat data and show off its technical strength in front of all countries.

As for why he gave this battleship to himself so simply-Joshua believes that Israel probably thinks that this battleship will definitely fall in a battle with the mad dragon, but as long as the data can be collected, it is for the eagerness to continue The empire that improves technology does not suffer. Anyway, according to the agreement between the major forces, the wreckage of the battleship will definitely be sent back to the empire, and with the character of a soldier, it will definitely not want these things.

"Just mind him."

Standing on the deck of the Gale, feeling the wind brought by the rapid flight of the floating battleship, Joshua looked down at the clouds below him, he laughed, and he didn't bother to think about those meaningless things.

But how to say, now this steel giant ship belongs to him! The battle group of the former warrior also had its own floating fortress, but it was jointly built by all the group members. Now, the Gale is completely hiss!

What a luxury it is to own a floating warship by yourself!

【Floating Battleship·Greece】

[Super large composite surgical structure, super quality]

[Average hardness of outer armor: 72, possessing abilities: floating in the air, mana advancement, mana shield, physical damage reduction, higher element immunity, ignoring corrosion, mana surge, gale charge (self-explosion)]

[Subsidiary technique and external structure: five large magic focus cannons, 40 conventional alchemy cannons, nine acceleration arrays, twelve floating arrays, positioning and traction transmission, furnace core dissolution (self-explosion)]

[Note: This is a large floating battleship jointly developed by the Imperial Royal Mage Association and Guantian White Tower. It has a total length of 167 meters and has good maneuverability. Compared with other floating airships that are still in the experiment. The cost of the battleship and Gale is relatively low, but the combat capability is inferior, and the power is greatly exceeded. The only defect is that due to the dual magic furnace core structure, the energy cycle has certain defects and cannot be carried out for too long. Full-load operation mode, otherwise it is very likely to automatically launch the abilities such as the'gale charge' or the'furnace heart melting'. 】

[Wait, I haven't adjusted the energy system of this thing...what? Is this an advantage? 】

[By-a designer who does not want to be named]

"Bang, bang, bang—"

While Joshua was still enjoying the strong wind on the deck, there was a sound of rapid footsteps behind him.

Joshua, who had already known who came, turned her head and looked behind her, but as expected, the figure of the silver-haired girl appeared in front of him.

Just after the Gale was teleported from the secret laboratory of the Empire to the fortress of Aden, Nostradamus also sent Hotaru, Rin, and Hei together. Since everyone present is a vigorous temperament, so After discussing something about the Gale with the soldiers and Israel and others, the old mage simply sent Joshua and his party to the floating battleship and set off directly.

As a special type of airship, Gale has the ability to respond to teleportation. Strictly speaking, this airship cannot actually teleport. It can only be positioned by a large teleportation array that meets the conditions like a certain summoned object. Towing' the past, and this towing capacity is still limited by distance.

There are magic circles around the imperial capital that limit teleportation. Only the three major fortresses can not be affected, but the three major fortresses cannot communicate to the next teleportation point. Therefore, the Gale can only be as far away as possible from the imperial capital and respond to the southern fortresses of the imperial city. The teleportation array, all the way through the many kingdoms of the West Mountain, and the far south border fortress, before reaching the sacred mountain of the far sea-because of the teleportation, this route is not long, but it is very cumbersome.

The silver-haired girl who seemed to be trotting all the way ran to Joshua’s side, and then said in a somewhat unstable tone: "Master, the Gale has left the teleportation area of ​​the imperial capital. To be ready to start teleportation, Mr. Captain would like to ask you first. Back to the hull."

"Okay, I'll go back right away."

Nodded, the soldier noticed that Hotaru's expression looked a little bad and looked a little uncomfortable. He raised his brows and asked with some surprise and concern: "What's wrong, Hotaru, you look a little uncomfortable... Is it seasick? ?"

"No, I'm not dizzy..." Miss Shenji frowned slightly and hesitated, but then she curled her lips and said with a headache, "But, black...black seasickness."

Having said that, Hotaru looked a little angry. She took the corner of the warrior’s clothes and frowned and said, “At first, Hei stayed in the cargo hold very quietly and didn’t move. My brother thought he liked it very much, so I went to meet Hei. When chatting, I found out that it has completely fainted!"

"...Neither the Earth Travelling Dragon nor the Sea Dragon is likely to have experienced flying. The black guy may be the first sea dragon to come to the sky."

Quickly finding the reason, Joshua touched the silver-haired girl’s little head silently. He didn’t know whether he should smile or be serious: “It’s really a guilty way for the black, but Hotaru, why are you looking so bad? It's so ugly? Is it black vomiting?"

"That's not true, but it subconsciously licked me in a coma!" First shook his head, Hotaru denied the warrior's guess, but then she complained dissatisfied: "Moreover, it radiated heat there after being unconscious. , The vicinity of the cargo hold cannot be approached at all."

"Wait, cargo hold?"

Hearing this word, Joshua suddenly felt a little strange. He turned his head and stared at the silver-haired girl, and Hotaru was also a little flustered by being stared at: "What...what's the matter, master..."

"I said... Didn't you give the changeable pendant to the black?"

This time it’s the warrior’s turn to have a headache: "I gave you and Rin the Pendant when I got on the ship~www.novelmtl.com~ The black body is so big, if you want to move freely, you can only get smaller... now it Still in the cargo hold..."

Shaking her head, Qiao Xiuya didn't know what to say, and the silver-haired girl's face quickly turned red. It was obvious that she had indeed forgotten to blacken the pendant.

But even so, the soldier couldn't blame Hotaru, because he had forgotten about it himself and had no position at all.

It's just that I'm suffering, not to mention seasickness, and I still can't move freely, now I can only stay in the narrow cargo hold.

"Forget it." With a sigh, Joshua could only make this decision: "I'll go see it."

Yin Tian Shen said

The full attendance is gone, ah, my heartache, I finally kept updating 4000 words, and I couldn’t write it today...Forget it, I haven’t been full attendance anyway
