February 20, 331.

Bay Territory, Misty Swamp.

Light rain.

The patter of raindrops sprinkled lightly in the confused white mist.

Let the withered and yellow reeds gradually glow with new green vitality.

All kinds of little lives happily burrowed between the roots.

Under the influence of the cleanup of dragon-blooded creatures, the small lives at the bottom of the food chain will usher in a new round of large-scale reproduction.

However, their prosperity will not last long.

Without the suppression of life at the top of the food chain, the number of sub-predators will increase significantly, and the pressure on these small lives will continue to increase.

Boom!

The surging sound spread to the surroundings in sequence.

These carefree little beings are running around as if frightened.

The vibrations coming from everywhere caused ripples to appear in the calm puddles.

Aini looked over curiously, and happened to see the rolling fog. There was a little bit of thinking in her eyes, and she asked thoughtfully:

"Is this actual combat training?"

Aini is very aware of the training methods of the Gulf Leadership Army and understands the benefits and difficulties.

Water strength training will be very, very expensive due to the production cycle and expensiveness of boats.

But she didn't expect that Bay Collar would still train in this way.

This also means that the Gulf Territory is determined to start fighting.

Leon next to him stepped on the accelerator, and the continuously rotating propellers sprayed out powerful airflow backwards, pushing the entire hovercraft forward quickly.

Aini was very surprised by this smooth transportation in the swamp.

What interests her even more is that this seemingly simple vehicle does not use magic as its power source, but instead uses a small steam engine.

Aini had some doubts in her heart. Even though a new elemental energy pool was built, the Gulf Territory did not continue to increase the proportion of magical energy used. Instead, it began to develop more different energy sources.

Leon naturally did not explain to Aini that the Gulf Territory would never put eggs in the same basket. He just nodded and said:

"Yes, actual combat is a must. This can complete the training of soldiers as quickly as possible and allow them to adapt to sea combat."

"Considering that the flatness of the swamp is different from the roughness of the sea, we have also made some modifications to the actual combat environment."

As soon as they finished speaking, they passed through a gate surrounded by mounds of earth and came to a puddle with turbulent water.

The water surface stirred up waves, causing the ships traveling on the water to sway back and forth, left and right.

On the rocking ship, hundreds of soldiers are fighting with the opposite ship.

Aini saw keenly the staggering movements of the soldiers. Although they were a little embarrassed, they stood firmly on the shaking deck.

The artillery that kept spewing out fire also roared one after another.

Boom!

The roaring artillery fires out the rotating shells and hammers them hard on the side of the opponent's ship.

A large red mark was left, and the artillery shells and soldiers in that area stopped their subsequent actions.

In addition to the effect of cannonball attacks.

Heavy crossbow attacks on the parts below the waterline of the ship will also reduce the speed of the ship.

"This is considered a simulated battle loss, right?"

"Are those cannonballs also specially made?"

"Through this method, we can indeed go through all the basic procedures of maritime battles many times..."

"As long as they experience one or two battles, they can become very good maritime veterans."

"..."

Praising the effectiveness and benefits of the training from the bottom of her heart, Aini looked at the training soldiers carefully and watched their proficiency in various movements.

It is obvious that these soldiers are very good at water and can be said to be well-trained.

The training of Gulf Territory soldiers always creates many surprises for Aini.

They can always learn corresponding professional combat skills as quickly as possible and quickly become a powerful army.

Such rapid development made Aini envious, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel quite helpless.

The suppression of the El elves by the Cole Elf Kingdom prevents the latter from entering the normal resting stage of development.

If it weren't for the "Underworld Invasion" incident caused by the Lord, it would have greatly reduced the defensive pressure on the El elves.

Aini and the special forces undergoing training are very likely to be called back.

"Perhaps, we should ask the lord for advice on how to continue causing trouble to the Cole Elf Kingdom..."

The roar and roar of weapons in the distance made Aini wake up. She put this idea aside for the time being and paid attention to the various weapons on the ship.

The biggest difference between the navy and the land army is that the quality of personnel can only account for 30%, while the performance of weapons and equipment can account for 60%.

Whoever has stronger weapons and equipment will have the advantage.

The weapons of these ships in the Gulf Territory were eye-opening to Aini, both in terms of quantity and quality.

In addition to more than 20 artillery pieces.

Heavy crossbows are set up on both sides of the ship.

A catapult often carried during battles in the Gulf Territory.

They are all common weapons in Aini, and compared to the range and lethality of the El Elf ships, they seem to be a bit better.

This gave Aini a sudden feeling.

Isn’t the development of the Gulf territorial navy too fast?

The development of various military weapons in the Gulf Territory maintains the same vein and benchmark.

With the three weapons of crossbows, artillery and catapult machinery as the core, corresponding updates and research are constantly carried out.

Aini thought of so many benefits at once.

The Gulf Territory has a very solid foundation in research on these three weapons, and has sufficient experience in making these weapons.

The difficulty of research and improvement is much simpler than re-developing weapons, and the resources consumed will naturally be reduced a lot, and it will definitely be effective.

Even, when these weapons develop to a certain extent.

No matter what kind of enemy you face, you can adapt to other developments and requirements by making slight changes.

This consistent military-industrial line gave Aini an astonishing idea.

Every aspect of the Gulf Territory reveals its long-term development momentum.

This kind of thinking concept seems to be much better than the El Elf Council's method of selecting the order of development.

Under the leadership of Leon, Aini visited the actual combat training conditions of several other warships.

Soon I discovered that in addition to shooting at each other, there were also many chases, encounters, boarding battles and other subjects.

It can be said that the subjects included in actual combat include all combat situations that can be encountered at sea.

The navy trained in this way already has considerable combat effectiveness even if it has no combat experience.

Arriving at the central area of ​​the swamp, a central piece of land that was artificially hoarded became a base for naval soldiers.

Aini saw more than 5,000 soldiers practicing swimming, shooting crossbows, learning to operate artillery, and maintaining ships.

Such a professional and clear training method left Aini deeply inspired.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, when will the El elves break free from their shackles and move forward like the Gulf Territory?

Aini met her old acquaintance Arnold at the base. This disobedient chief instructor was carefully looking at the coastal defense map in mid-air.

Aini took a closer look and discovered that more than 20 blue marks had been built along the coast of the Gulf Territory, representing strongholds and fortresses.

"Sure enough, the Gulf Territory has already made plans for the development of the ocean..."

Arnold took the information handed over by Aini, raised his rough brows, and revealed a fierce aura.

He stretched out his hand and touched the magic image, and quickly entered the data and information.

It is about 50 kilometers away from the northeastern part of the Silver Moon River Plain and the northernmost stronghold of the Gulf Territory.

A Japanese stronghold is suddenly appearing on the map.

There is also very detailed record data next to it.

The total population is 17,670, with 3,250 soldiers and 11,359 slaves.

The city wall is 3 meters high and 500 meters long, with low defense.
