Chapter 212: Preparing Naval Battle (Part 2)
The group came to the edge of the ice. Salin looked at the hundreds of people following him. He would not have any deceptive speeches, but just handed the dimension stone to Nelis and said, "Let the warship be launched."
Such a huge warship was taken out of the Dimension Stone, even if Salin's mental power was no different from that of the magician, he was still burdened. Every time he collected and released, he would consume most of his mental power. Anyway, even if Naris used his mental power cleanly, his ability to fight was still there.
Neris didn't say anything. She jumped out of the cold sea water, and she didn't see any skills she used. The sea water only passed her ankle. Without the flash of magic light, the huge warship suddenly appeared. Everyone felt a power coming towards him, as if he was pressing heavily on his heart.
The two hundred-meter-long warship is full of blue color, and the bow is a huge dragon head without any modification. The two sharp dragon horns stretch forward, as if they are about to pierce everything in front of them, even if it is a mountain.
boom!
There was a huge monster suddenly in the sea water. The squeezed sea water suddenly burst out, and the water splashed dozens of meters high. Cornuke and Pasatro released an invisible shield in time, avoiding everyone becoming a chicken.
Click...
The warship twisted in the water for a moment, making people think it was an illusion. The huge scales made by the thunder cloud wood rubbed against each other, and the sound made was almost inaudible.
"Go on the ship." Salin smiled, and dozens of skeletons flexibly jumped dozens of meters, jumped onto the deck, and entered the cabin. The Round Turtle Alchemy Ship slowly came to the bottom of the battleship, and the winged skeletons were commanding the skeletons and found the magic array that controlled the battleship. Although these skeletons had wisdom, they could not release any magic. Under the command of the winged skeleton, they inlaid the magic core they carried in the corresponding parts. The Dragon Skeleton Warship officially started and leaned towards the ice layer.
The bone wings on one side slowly spread out and lay on the ice. Everyone followed Salin to the deck of the battleship.
"Kornuko, you are the captain for the time being. This is the structure of the warship." Salin handed a drawing to Kornuko. The magicians went to find their own location. Salin called on the winged skeleton and said, "I only leave Zola in the city. Don't follow me. Once something happens in the city, you can notify me as soon as possible."
"Master, my contact with you will be completely disconnected within twelve miles!" said the Winged Skeleton with some concern.
"I'll go to the natural port to the south to see it. Do you remember that place?"
"Remember." Winged Skeleton replied.
The natural port mentioned by Salin is 400 miles south of Metatlin City. As a port, it has better natural conditions than Metatlin City. Although it is only 400 miles away, the freezing period is significantly shorter. However, the land area of this location is surrounded by mountains on three sides and by the sea. Apart from walking from the sea, it can no longer contact the land.
It is okay to build a fortress here, but it is impossible to be a commercial city.
Salin has always been thinking about this place, but he has to consider income when building a city. Even if he doesn't do business, he still has to farm. This harbor is a dead land with a land area of about dozens of square miles. If a city is built in such a large place, all the food in the city needs to be transported from the sea.
The north of Metatrile City is the plain, and there are hundreds of bungalows to cultivate land in the south. Self-sufficiency is not a problem. Moreover, there is a gap in the mountains to the west of Metatrile City, which can reach the plains in the distance, with more land and connection to Phoenix.
Salin had calculated in his mind that the speed of the warship he could make must be more than seventy miles. This natural port and Metatlin City are only four hundred miles away, and it is only within six hours. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack here. You can build a fortress to support Metatlin City.
As long as this fortress is established, the only way to attack is at sea, and there is no need to worry about being attacked from land. When the mage of Srieg Island arrives, a large number of warehouses can be built here to store grain for a long time. The food you buy and harvest in the future can be placed here, which is absolutely safe.
Of course, if you can have a magical weapon like Rex's Shinra Ring, you don't have to worry about food storage.
Most of the Dragon Skeleton Battleships were immersed in the water, and they floated up normally after the magic circle was activated. If the skeleton went up slowly, the warship might have sunk directly to the bottom of the sea. After the magician and the Skeleton Gate were in place, the bone wings on both sides of the Dragon Skeleton Battleships were slightly adjusted, and the stern swung, quickly turned around and headed south.
Salin keenly felt that the warship turned around at least ten times faster than the sea ship of the same size. Moreover, when the dragon's tail swung, the warship itself did not have any violent shocks. On the rear deck of the warship, three magic arrays formed a triangle and were aroused. A huge magic sail of more than 40 meters appeared slowly in the center of the triangle.
This is the undead magic, the Shadow Sail, which has no attack power and is also used to sail the ship in the Undead plane. Raising this Shadow Sail to the Skeleton Gate can reduce the consumption of core power.
What Salin gave to the skeletons were all level 4 magic cores, and there was no high-end product. After all, using advanced magic cores to drive ships is too wasteful.
After the Shadow Sail rose, the speed of the Dragon Skeleton Battleship did not accelerate, and the huge battleship was sailing silently southward. Generally speaking, the sailing ship could reach its maximum speed when facing the wind. It was a great test for sailors and required strong ship control capabilities.
However, these skeletons are tireless and basically do not make mistakes. Salin stood at the deck in front with peace of mind, the sea in front was broken by the warships, and the sound of water was stirred up.
If you want this ship to have combat power, you must constantly let the sailors and swordsmen practice together. This is another expense! Salin thought helplessly that the core power of this ship relies on the fourth-level magic core, which consumes at least six pieces per hour, and there will be more during combat.
Six level 4 magic cores, even if they are not purchased in the store, have more than one thousand gold coins. As the magic core that drives the magic circle, it must be of the best quality and cannot be dealt with with inferior products. Otherwise, it is still good if the magic circle cannot operate, and it may even explode.
The large number of level 4 magic cores obtained by Salin cannot be sold. Because there are too many, it will be sold immediately to drop the price of the magic core. If you sell it less, it will make no sense.
One thousand gold coins per hour, the driving of the Dragon Skeleton Battleship is burning money. However, the speed of the battleship made Salin too satisfied. He used the Shadow Sail to replace part of the power and easily reached seventy miles. At this time, the consumption of the magic core was at least half, and the magic circles would be fully activated during the battle.
If you haven't gone to the Ice Sea, you can't afford to use even if you have such a warship.
In less than five hours, the Dragon Skeleton Battleship arrived at the natural harbor. The sea surface here was only a dozen miles wide. Salin was about to stop the warship. Everyone went to see the natural harbor and drew a detailed map to go back and designed a fortress. Suddenly, a swordsman from Srieg Island ran on the deck and said to Salin: "Sir, the captain found that the warship was approaching."
"How close is it?" Salin asked. He also knew that it would not be too far away. The distance that the magic compass could monitor was limited. The sudden appearance of the warship was at least within fifty miles.
"The distance between about eighty miles is about the warship, about eighty meters to one hundred meters, otherwise we will find it earlier."
“How many are there?”
"Six lines, one formation."
Salin calculated in his mind that if the enemy's warship performs well, he would find out the existence of his warship within half an hour at most. Salin was not afraid. The warships under one hundred meters carried limited number of magic trenchers, which could not pose any threat to his ship.
No matter how good the magic trencher is, the attack distance is about five miles. Although its dragon skeleton warship has not produced bone spirits yet, there is no need to be afraid of these ships. But what are these ships doing in the north? There are no cities in the north. Lianyun City has probably fallen for a long time, and these ships can only be from the East China Island Kingdom.
Didn't I kill myself completely last time, and someone ran away, and the expeditionary army discovered his city?
Salin still made some mistakes in the calculation. If the magic compass wants to discover the target, it usually requires a familiar chart comparison, or the target is too obvious. The detection distance of his dragon skeleton warship is so far, which is entirely due to the Eye of the Undead on the Dragon Head. The Eye of the Undead, combined with the Magic Compass, can discover all targets with a breath of life.
It was a bit difficult for the fleet in the distance to discover Salin's warship. The Dragon Skeleton Warship was completely closed, with only a few people standing on the deck, and the magic compass might not be able to be recognized.
"Sir, what should I do?" The swordsman was still waiting for Salin's order.
Salin thought about it. If the Alchemy Ship of the Rock Turtle was there, it would not be a problem to deal with these six ships. But now he has no bone spirit, so he can only use the stupidest method to approach the enemy ship and board the ship to fight. Although there are fewer warriors here, there are three great magicians, including Sika and Neris. It is impossible for the battleship on the opposite ship to have such strong combat power.
"When you meet, as long as it is not the battleships of Alchemy City, they will all sank."
The swordsman was stunned for a moment, bowed, and went back to the bottom of the deck. The warships on Srieg Island also had corners, but they had to sank the other party one-on-one, and the swordsman was inevitably a little unbelievable.
"Let's go down too." Salin said to Shika and Neris who had been following him. The battleship collided, and the power was quite strong. When the Dragon Skeleton Battleship was designed, only the internal cabin could reduce the feeling of shock. Salin stood on the deck and would definitely get fussed.
