Chapter 1166 Shock and awe (seeking a monthly ticket)
"Hey, evil-minded old man, you're here too~!" Leo stood on the deck and shouted happily.
I was also worried that Lester, who was above me, was too old to hear, so I deliberately used my loudest voice.
The unique shrillness of the child's voice pierced the ears like a sharp sword. It was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone on board.
Everyone on the Royal Ark couldn't help but look at each other, wondering: Is this how humans greet each other now?
Although the old man above him is a bit stinky, standing at a high place, with his magic robes fluttering in the wind, his air of immortality, and his extraordinary demeanor, no matter how you look at it, you can tell that this man is definitely a well-educated man, at least
We also need great scholars of the level of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, super academics who have shocked the past and present.
Not to mention, he also led so many war fortresses with great momentum.
You can tell at a glance that this is definitely a great man, a great man who can look up at a 45-degree angle.
But how can that little fat guy... be said to be a mean-spirited old man?
However, at the same time, there was a smile on the face of King Carlion IV standing on the bridge. It was obvious that Carlion IV had a very clear understanding of the nature of the Forbidden Curse Magister, but he immediately
Realizing that this was a bit rude, he hurriedly coughed and straightened his face again.
At this time, Lester flew down from the war fortress in mid-air. He just jumped up and left the war fortress. He was about to perform a beautiful levitation in the air and slowly landed on the deck, performing a stunning and gorgeous performance.
Li's appearance shows the extraordinary excellence of Mr. Lester.
He has even thought about placing a few miniature whirlwind rolls on the soles of his feet when he is about to land. They will look like the characters from the latest series of "Dragon Balls" on the "Nai'an Times" youth page.
The situation is the same.
Because there are so few people studying now, major news and publishing organizations have no way to refine the market. So they printed a thick stack. The content inside is also a hodgepodge. The first few pages are about current affairs, the back is about home economics, and the middle is about real estate.
Advertising...
In addition, in order to grow up the next generation, improve the level of education and literacy, and increase children's interest in literacy. The Governor's Information Office of Nai'an also issued a decree that all newspapers must allocate three to five pages to publish content about children.
In order to please young people and increase sales, major newspapers have chosen the simple and easy-to-understand literary form of printing comics in the middle of newspapers.
The comics were extremely popular among readers as soon as they were released.
After all, you can't expect everyone to hold a newspaper like Duke Luo and read attentively the "Government Document No. 198 issued by His Majesty Emperor Julund". Or, like Duke Luo's subordinates, take a newspaper and read it with concentration.
He read the newspaper and read it attentively. 'Lord Luo's instructions on the 'Government Document No. 198 issued by His Majesty Emperor Julunde'...
The main reason people hold newspapers is for entertainment. Those cartoons are easy to understand and are not only popular among children, but also among small and medium-sized landowners and nobles - those bastards only know how to eat all day long.
Most of them are fat-headed and their knowledge level is not very high, just a little higher than that of ordinary people. Even if there are people with high level of knowledge, after three or five years, the knowledge they have learned has already gone into the dog's belly.
In such an environment, newspapers naturally invested heavily in comics. Naturally, they became more and more exciting. So one time, when Uncle Lester was flipping through the newspaper, he accidentally turned to a certain page. He was immediately attracted by it.
I was attracted by the cartoons above.
Although Mr. Lester was very dismissive of the weird fighting scenes in the comics and called them "third-rate" with disdain, it is undeniable that the appearances of those characters are all shocking.
, pretending to be 13 to the extreme, is very impressive.
I really have an appetite for a senior academic like Lester who likes to show off whenever he has nothing to do.
However, Great Mage Lester finally caught the opportunity, and just when he was working hard to show off in front of these arrogant elves, he didn't expect that Leo would pull out the valve core.
When he heard Leo's sincere shouting, he couldn't help but staggered, dangled in the air, and was about to fall from the top.
Lorraine looked at it and couldn't help but trembled in her heart: It's broken~! This old boy must not let anything happen to him~!
Lester was still forty or fifty feet high from the deck. If he fell from such a height, all of his old bones would probably be broken.
Although Lorraine really hoped that this guy would break his arm or leg or something, he could stay at home honestly for half a year and stop coming out to cause trouble for himself and Adele.
But as the saying goes: Don't expect to pick up two gold coins at a time.
If she really wanted something to happen to him in front of her, Adele would have to fight her tooth and nail.
Just when Lorraine was about to rush over to rescue him, Lester swayed in the air and suddenly stabilized his figure, even though he was a little embarrassed.
As soon as Lester stabilized his position, he first glared at Leo, then hurriedly smoothed his beard and smoothed his hair, then maintained an unpredictable expression on his face and slowly lowered his head.
Lorraine took a step forward, stopped randomly, looked at the smiling Calyon IV next to him, smiled slightly sheepishly, then pulled Leo, and whispered: "How can you tell the truth?
If you say it, go home and say it."
Leo suddenly woke up and covered his mouth and made a face. He hadn't seen anyone he knew for a long time.
Catherine and the others had a great time in the Elf Kingdom, but Leo was not happy at all. It was so boring here, with not a single interesting thing or interesting person. Leo was completely bored these past ten days.
Suddenly seeing the playful Lester, Leo was so happy that he forgot about the elves around him.
Lester pretended not to hear Leo's words and landed lightly in front of Lorraine - although he had planned it beforehand, in his haste, he forgot to let go of those few whirlwinds that could bring about shocking scenes.
He forced himself to calm down, nodded slightly and said, "I'm not late, am I?"
Lorraine shrugged, and even though he was reluctant, he still said with admiration: "It's not too early or too late, you came just in time. This is His Majesty King Carlion IV."
King Carlion IV hurriedly walked up, held Lester's hand politely, and said: "Welcome the great Forbidden Curse Magister, Dean Lester, to the Elf Kingdom."
There are many kings in this world, but there are only a few Forbidden Curse Magisters. Seriously speaking, a Forbidden Curse Magister is worth much more than a king.
In addition, Carlion IV also knew that this old guy was a typical academic intellectual, a loud and well-known academic master. Although on the surface he looked approachable and amiable, he was actually very arrogant.
It's so small that even a dime borrowed can be remembered for a lifetime. You must never offend.
It's a pity that he didn't know that the wizards of the Elf Kingdom had offended Lester a long time ago - this old guy came here just to vent his anger.
Lester politely greeted the king, then pointed to the war fortress above his head and said carelessly: "How about it? Let's practice now? Finish the fight early and calm down."
At the same time, he secretly added in his heart, "You don't have to struggle anymore."
Kalion IV looked at Lester in astonishment: This guy really doesn't play his cards right with common sense~!
Lorraine couldn't help but curled her lips, pulled Lester, and reminded: "Master, my ship hasn't arrived yet."
Lester rolled his eyes at Lorraine dissatisfied and said, "I know your people are unreliable at critical moments. You are just taking your time."
Lorraine smiled bitterly and decided not to be as familiar with the old guy.
"No matter," Lester waved his hand boldly and said excitedly: "Since you are here, let me say hello first."
Like an old fox who had defeated the hunter, Lester smiled slyly and said, "Your Majesty, please."
Then, regardless of Carion IV's confused expression, he jumped straight into the war fortress.
Before entering the gate, Lester lowered his head and glanced at the Elf Kingdom fleet covering the sea, and snorted coldly. He said fiercely: "Today, I will let you country bumpkins see the world. Dare you say that I am a second-rate mage."
The prototype roared past the fleet's head, and the war fortress behind it hurriedly followed.
Carlion IV looked at Lorraine and asked in confusion: "What is the master doing?"
Leo's face showed the confident expression of the chairman, and he said: "Your Majesty, you will know just by looking at it."
The prototype flew over an empty desert beach and randomly dropped several smoke bombs.
The war fortress behind them suddenly shook as if they had been rushed in and dispersed in an orderly manner in the air. Each of the three war fortresses formed a small group and was divided into different groups.
The elves on the battleship looked up stupidly and looked at the strange movements of the war fortress in the sky, wondering where the human trouble was coming from.
Immediately, a group of war fortresses at the front rushed towards the deserted beach and rowed across the deserted beach at high speed.
The artillery in the war fortress opened fire suddenly, and there was a flash of fire in the muzzle. In the blink of an eye, six shells hit the strange rocks, and then exploded loudly. In the fire and smoke of the explosion, fragments of the solid black rocks flew all over the sky.
When the explosion was heard, the officers and soldiers of the Elf Fleet trembled and were all stunned.
Carlion IV was also startled by the power of the artillery. He couldn't help pointing to the deserted beach and said: "Is the magic cannon so powerful?"
Leo looked at him strangely and said, "This is not a magic cannon. This is a cannon produced by the Flying Eagle Group. It only requires cannonballs and can be operated by ordinary people."
"So powerful~!" King Carlion IV exclaimed, then frowned and said, "It's hard to make this cannonball."
Leo waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "It's not difficult. The group can probably produce about a thousand rounds per day."
"Oh..." Carion IV nodded thoughtfully.
Leo glanced at Caerlion IV with a stern face, and thought to himself: Envy it, do you want it? Just tell me if you want to buy it, you should hurry up and say you want to buy it~!
Carlion IV also glanced at Leo secretly, their eyes collided, and they giggled happily at the same time.
The first team quickly flew across the beach after firing, and the second team followed closely, also aiming at the smoke bombs, and then the third team...
With textbook perfection, more than a dozen air combat teams completed the bombing of the target within two minutes.
The rumbling sound of cannons was heard in succession, and the entire desert beach was shrouded in smoke from the artillery fire. The sea breeze quickly blew away the smoke. The scene on the reef shocked the elves, and many of them took a breath of cold air.
I saw that the deserted beach was covered with craters of different sizes, as if it had been dug up by a giant monster.
The solid reef was like this, let alone the wooden warship under their feet.
"This is a bullshit exercise!" The officers and soldiers of the fleet thought at the same time.
It was agreed that they would join forces with the human peacekeeping force to conduct a confrontational exercise close to reality. Everyone was gearing up for a long time. We wanted to give those dirty humans a little color and let them see the power of the world's top navy.
.
Don’t just shut yourself up all day and think you are the best in the world.
but……
But, you don’t bully people like this~!
All the human ships are war fortresses. Judging from the current situation, their warships are not enough for a small team or three war fortresses to bombard them.
And the speed and range of the war fortress far exceed that of their warships. This is not a competition at the same level at all. They can only be abused at will.
Some of the elven navy generals with far-sighted vision are already wailing in their hearts. Their elven kingdom has fallen behind an era overnight.
The foundation of the Elf Kingdom, the military power that the Kingdom relied on to maintain its own, fell behind in an instant~!
From now on, what will be the use of superb maritime command skills and heroic fighting sailors?
What is the use of exquisite shipbuilding technology and a large number of shipyards?
What use are these naval admirals who have spent their whole lives fighting against pirates in the stormy sea and the sea?
Do you want to be like an army general, sitting in the military camp all day, playing cards and drinking to get by?
Kallion IV was thinking more. His brows had been furrowed since the bombardment. His face was even uglier than when he faced a room full of assassins last night.
This joint military exercise codenamed "Shock and Awe" indeed shocked the elves on the first day.
Carlion IV secretly sighed, no wonder Lorraine was so confident during the negotiation process that she refused to talk and only went shopping with her girlfriend. The peacekeeping force was obviously well prepared and not afraid of being disobedient.
Lester showed off his force nakedly in front of him, clearly to intimidate their elven kingdom. To intimidate Carion IV himself, he told the elves that "this is the consequence of disobedience."
The anger in Carion IV's heart suddenly ignited, and he glanced at Lorraine with an unkind look.
All of this was caused by the man in front of me. Whether it was the Flying Eagle Group or the War Fortress, it was all caused by this young man who was not handsome at all.
Looking at the elves around him, Lorraine could only spread his hands helplessly, and he did not agree with Lester's reckless approach.
But I never expected that Lester would directly give the elves a blow, although this was in line with Lester's personality.
But I had never been able to do anything about that old guy, and in the end I could only smile bitterly.
Carlion IV instantly suppressed the anger in his heart. As a qualified politician, he was still the weakest party. This humiliation was nothing.
The first thing he thought of was the loss of naval superiority and the loss of trade advantages with the human continent.
The sea trade between the Elf Kingdom and the Ruman Empire was probably going to have twists and turns, but he was the one who would take the trouble.
We must do everything possible to maintain the current advantages of the Elf Kingdom and prevent it from being sheared by humans.
In the blink of an eye, Carion IV's eyes became eager again when he looked at Lorraine, and all this also fell on Lorraine.
After showing off his strength in front of their elves, Lester felt extremely comfortable looking at their dumbfounded expressions.
In my heart, I even thought that since my granddaughter was abducted by that bad boy Lorraine, I have never been as happy as I am today.
With this victor's mentality of getting revenge, Lester returned to the top deck of the Royal Ark, looked at the gloomy King Caerion IV, and said happily: "You have shown your embarrassment, you guys haven't done it yet.
Skilled, I’ll make you laugh.”
Carlion IV struggled to twitch the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was not much better than crying, and said dryly: "It's really breathtaking there."
Lester got the advantage and behaved well, saying: "There are still some parts that are in training and I haven't brought them here. When they are all built, I will invite your country for exercises."
"How can you bully others if I don't take you~!" Carlion IV cursed inwardly with grief and indignation. He finally understood why the king and the mages hated Lester, but a smile appeared on his face and said: "I am looking forward to it very much.
.”
Even Leo couldn't stand it anymore, he shook his head and said to himself: "Look, I just told you that I am a mean-spirited old man, and you still don't believe me."
No one among the elves mentioned the exercise plan that had been prepared under high morale, as if everyone had forgotten about it.
The whole morning passed like this, and Caerion IV held a banquet to entertain Lester and his party.
Just after noon, the two Victory-class battleships arrived belatedly.
The appearance of two giant ships with a tonnage close to that of the Ark Royal attracted the attention of the elves. To the naval soldiers, the two Victory-class battleships were more shocking to them than a group of war fortresses.
After all this is their professional competitor.
The officers and soldiers of the Elf Kingdom who arrived at the port all crowded on the pier, vying to get a close look at the Victory Class.
Even with the critical eye of the Elf Navy, one cannot see any shortcomings in these two ships.
The accompanying Hippo Maidong dragged Lorraine to the port, looked up at the Victory-class on the dock, patted Lorraine affectionately, and said: "My dear prince, it seems that our exercise plan needs to be changed.
Changed.”
Lorraine expressed her understanding, nodded and said: "We have no objection to this. We will listen to your arrangements."
Hippomedon laughed happily and said: "There is really nothing to show for our fleet and the war fortress. How about we have a fair two-on-two battle with your fleet, the prince's?"
Even though the tonnage of the Victory class exceeds that of the main battleships of the elves, Hippo Maidon is still confident that the elites of the elves can defeat humans.
He had carefully observed that the quality of the sailors on the battleships was worse than that of the elf sailors, plus they were faster and more flexible.
Lorraine gave him a strange look, as if she was trying her best not to laugh, and said leisurely: "Are you sure?"
Hippomedon kept in mind Balentine's instructions before setting off. If Lorraine laughed, someone would be in trouble. Hippomedon cautiously asked: "Is there any magic in this?"
Lorraine sighed, patted Xibo Maidong on the shoulder, and said: "Lao Xi, we are friends, I won't cheat you. Follow me on the boat."
Hippo Maidon followed Lorraine aboard the battleship in confusion. The two battleships then raised sail and left the port, turned a small turn, and opened all the gun doors facing the deserted beach.
Following Chairman Leo's order, the artillery on the two battleships fired simultaneously.
The desert beach was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire, and the momentum was even more shocking than before. Hippomaidon was dumbfounded in Cambridge, his mouth wide open and unable to speak for a long time.
The captain and sailors of the battleship looked at the elf navy general who had lost his composure with high eyebrows and felt excited. After hundreds of years, the human navy finally managed to win back the battle against the elf navy.
Lorraine patted Hippomedon on the shoulder sympathetically.
Hippo Maidon smiled bitterly and said, "How about we change to a joint search and rescue exercise?"
