Chapter 605 Duel
call--
In late autumn, the sea breeze blows in the southeast wind direction.
Two huge black fleets have set up formations in the sea area as the natural border between Fareth and Ilia. Only each other can fight against them. Even if the brutal sea monsters break into this place, they will be torn to pieces without mercy.
This destined war is the alliance's battle to fight against rebellion, and it is also the bloody battle of the founding of the "Ilya Republic". Neither side has room to retreat.
For the Tulip Alliance, betraying the Alliance, massacre the nobles, and subverting the royal power are unforgivable felons. The alliance army will enter every city and every village, allowing the rebellious bourgeoisie to understand what is: the iron fist of the royal power.
For bourgeoisie, all conspiracies are out of place at this time. Even if there is a true god behind it, only by a powerful coalition that defeats the alliance can they truly gain a foothold in this land.
Moreover, among the countries of the Tulip Islands that lack strategic depth, the most powerful one is the navy that serves as a maritime barrier. As long as the navy decides the victory or defeat, the war can basically be declared over.
Forces on both sides:
There are 45 battleships of one coalition level 4 or above, headed by the "Glory" and "Storm Horn" of the Kingdom of Faltics, the "Royal Guard" of the Kingdom of Taro, the "Santa Ana" of the Tulip Principal, the "Prince of Asturia" of the Kingdom of Palos, and the "Nepton Sea God" of the Kingdom of Thessaly.
On the Illian Republic, the former Kingdom Navy also has 36 battleships above four levels, and the three quasi-legendary ships are the "Great Republic", "Freedom Equality" and "Benefits" that have been urgently renamed by the Constituent Assembly.
There are also a larger number of three-masted fast ships headed by the quasi-legend "Yonggu Holy Imperial" under the Pirate King's flagship, headed by nearly 100, and those are pirate plundering ships that have replaced the black sails.
In fact, naval wars of this scale may be rare in the past two hundred years of the great voyage.
Normally.
If a country invests money on a merchant ship, the merchant ship is actually "capital". As long as it can run a trip to the triangle trade, it will be at least 600% of the profit, and you can make a fortune in just a few round trips.
However, if you spend money on warships, it is difficult to produce any direct benefits unless it is used for robbery.
Therefore, maintaining maritime power is usually expensive, but it produces very slowly.
As a result, naval fleets are often used by the state as tools to deter wars. The state can often achieve political goals by mobilizing the navy or threatening to use the navy without starting a war.
For many marine economies, the arms race that chases each other is more attractive than direct war.
The key to victory in this competitive model lies in the overall strength of the country, such as extraordinary strength, navy, commerce, politics, talent and industrial assets, which can avoid the damage and losses caused by a real war.
in addition.
Any reliable maritime armed force needs appropriate maritime trade as its basis. The navy must escort the merchant ships, and the tax burden paid by the merchant ships is in turn invested in the construction of the fleet.
No one would be stupid, regardless of the actual situation, spend money and desperately expanding his arms, fighting for the title of the world's number one navy.
They pay more attention to establishing a maritime power rather than a simple naval power, so the comparison of naval power among countries can basically be equated with overseas interests.
This is true for Hilius, Fareth, and so is the besieged Ilia at this time.
While the battleship fleet was confronting each other, the quasi-legendary battleships of the "Alliance" and the "Republic" opened up another battlefield. On the surface, it was six to four, and the situation was very beneficial to the Alliance.
Alvin stood in the command position of the stern building of the Storm Horn, and the cool sea breeze was already blowing his cloak.
Behind him, in addition to his sister Anita, the first mate Boris, the sailor Milan, the sailor Gary, the sailing cable chief Vader, the new warrant officer Fleck and other officers performed their duties.
A warship with five extraordinary officers has a luxury lineup, but it is nothing to Alvin, who can mass-produce extraordinary officers.
There are also three mysterious figures wearing gray robes and hoods, guarding Anita like bodyguards.
Anita, who was carrying a giant dragon-slaying sword, did not wear a golden mask anymore. Her heroic face and long emerald hair, and her tall figure were both cool and beautiful.
Between the New World and the top leaders of the Alliance, the "Emerald Light", one of the two kings of the Golden Sea that are famous in various maritime countries, is Alvin Galliot's sister, and it is no longer a secret.
The siblings are no longer the little people who need to hide themselves carefully in the past to avoid being discovered by their enemies, and have the confidence to live in the sun.
And today, ten years later, we will make a break with the culprit of the "Black Stone Town" Bloody Night!
Because the city of Hereford behind the Republic fleet opposite is the residence of the Egret Chamber of Commerce and the place where Wright became famous, and even the "Spirit Network" has captured the figures of him and Zerom.
Obviously, they could not sit firmly on the Diaoyutai in this battle that determined their destiny.
With Evan's current status, he is already qualified to read most of the confidential information in the king. Currently, the total tonnage of the Ilia Navy battleship is 65 (thousand tons). At present, this fleet is probably a gathering of all the forces they have.
Therefore, this battle will never last long, and Ilia's national destiny will be decided in one battle.
Suddenly, a thief voice sounded in Alvin's ear:
"Evan, hehe..."
As usual, the "spiritual network" has enveloped the entire fleet. The main officers have obtained secondary communication rights, and before the war they are even allowed to use [Songshu] to communicate with each other in private.
Among the six quasi-legendary battleships, the "Storm Horn" is the "Glory" as the fleet flagship, and the "Royal Guard" of his old friend Taro Kingdom on the right.
"Betleme, the war is approaching, what are you going to do?"
It was heard that it was Bertram Solomon's voice, and Evan didn't speak well. If the Kingdom of Taylor was not considered half of the financial support for this large-scale military operation, he wouldn't want to pay attention to this guy with impure motives and other intentions.
The Netherlands Bank Group, which had experienced a huge loss, could certainly not miss the opportunity to retaliate against Huggins, a big enemy. After learning about this operation, it supported Taylor and the Alliance's large military expenditure.
But the alliance could also feel the deep wait-and-see mentality of the Netherlands. After all, if we talk about bourgeoisie, who can compare with them in the entire human civilization world? If Huggins was not on the opposite side, it would be not certain that this group of big bankers would eventually choose to help.
"Everyone is good friends. I haven't seen each other for three years. Can't we talk about the past when we have nothing to do? Miss Anita, do you think? That... I wonder if there is any honor to invite you to dinner after this battle?
Ilia's grilled sardines, paellas, Iranian grilled suckling pigs, and smoked ham are all famous products."
This famous noble young man with his own glutton attributes was obviously drunk. He took advantage of Alvin's excuse and was led to Anita without saying a word.
Obviously, even after several years, I still miss the powerful female knight who had saved her once in the hands of the large sea monster "Iron Armored Seahorse". When I learned that this was Alvin's sister, I 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 except Alvin can compare to himself.
He glanced at Solomon, who was standing on the stern of the boat next door, and saw it. It was contempt from the pirate king, and said lightly: "Without interest, men will only affect my speed of drawing my sword."
When Anita returned to the New World to take over the "Dragon Cavalry", she already had the strength equivalent to third-level seniority. Now she has finally reached the level of senior dragon veins, and her attributes are almost no less than the third-level peak of normal humans.
In addition, [Activated Skin·Superior Sea Emperor Dragon], even if you touch the fourth level in a short period of time, there will be no problem.
After three years, under the training of the Solomon family, the Thousand-year-old wizard, although Bertram Solomon, who is now thirty-one, has already possessed the strength of a peak official wizard, he is still not enough to see in front of Anita.
"Miss Anita, I..."
Not willing to work harder.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
A strong wind suddenly blew.
A thunderous sound suddenly sounded over the sea:
"Pickman, the ghoul, comes up and gets his death!"
A golden light of lightning shot into the sky in the "Australia Fleet", and Pickerman, the title monster in the "Republic Fleet", also rose into the sky without showing any weakness.
Rumble...
Immediately, the sky was accompanied by the rolling thunder and fluttering frost and snow fell.
The battle of the fourth-level extraordinary person is enough to affect the astronomical phenomena.
In the Tulip Alliance, the Farethian Kingdom, currently ranked first, has the guardian of the kingdom: the "Glorious Glory" Lionheart Lord, and the "Rose Sword Saint" Ilvedi; the second-ranked Kingdom of Taro has the "Thunder Halberd" Augustus;
****'s Tulip Principality (Cultural Kingdom) does not have an exclusive titled knight; the Palos Kingdom has "Hand of God", Grover, who also has the identities of the founder of the Fourth Palos Dynasty and the Knight of the Church; the Thessaly Kingdom has "Wrestling with the Bear" Antonio.
Of course, all the title knights in Tulip countries who rely on the [Pillage: Seven Gods Ladders] are essentially subordinate to the goddess, which is a manifestation of her dominance in the mortal world.
in addition.
In addition to Ilya's "Raging Waves", there are still five kingdoms left. Although "Glory and Glory" and "Wrestling with Bears" are much younger than "Raging Waves", they are also figures of the same era and are no longer suitable to leave the capital and start a high-intensity battle.
Because the title knight, as the peak power, is related to the foundation of the countries, it can also be said that the current situation of the Tulips League is that it has enough defense and lacks progress. Even if it is similar to the number of titles of Xilius, it is still at an absolute disadvantage.
When the two peak combat forces started fighting in the sky.
The conventional fleets of both sides have begun to approach slowly. The main fleet of one side of the Republic uses conventional line tactics, while a large number of three-masted fast ships gathered in two sections, trying to use the specialties of pirates to catch up in the chaos.
Major General Demund Brand, the commander of the fleet, issued orders to the entire fleet simultaneously:
"Order: The entire fleet is rushing forward in a double column, and cut them off!"
At the same time.
As the flagship "Glory" suddenly shines brightly, and countless rune-like patterns depicted on the sails are connected together. A huge golden light ball is formed on the head of the spear-shaped bow. The sunlight in this sea area is dark.
【Extraordinary abilities·Sun Spear】
A beam of light turned into a shining sun spear, carrying the heat that seemed to boil the sea, and flew towards the "Yonggu Imperial" which is the flagship of the Republic's fleet.
Even in the real legendary battleship, this attack is definitely not a weak person. It is just that the cooling time is too long and the limit is too large. The solar energy accumulated for half a month in midsummer can only be activated once.
Huggins, wearing a marshal's uniform, stood on the tail building and smiled wantonly, raising his hand gently.
Crazy...
A huge dark blue warship equivalent to a first-class ship suddenly shattered the sea surface, mixed with huge bubbles emerged from the seabed, blocking the "Yonggu Holy Imperial".
call--
Silently, the hull seemed to be vaporized, and it directly broke a large hole of several meters in diameter at the waterline, and surging sea water poured in.
But before everyone in the alliance came to their senses.
As the sea water pours into the hull, it has begun to recover quickly. This is the characteristic of [Legendary Battleship Sea Soul] - "Sea Current Homogeneity".
"Your defeat was already doomed without bringing the legendary warship! Huh?"
Huggins was about to control [Sea Soul] to launch a counterattack when he suddenly saw a butterfly that seemed to be made of emerald slid quietly by.
Chapter completed!
