Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 171 21.Ah, the sea is full of water

"Tal Kanabui in the Kingdom of Itain, this is our cousin's shipyard. Taking advantage of our spies, we look for opportunities to attack here and destroy our cousin's shipbuilding potential. Keep attacking these ports, and then look for opportunities to destroy the shipyard." Destroy the place where weapons are manufactured in the Ledo Kingdom."

"This is the last place for the decisive battle!" Darkus said, pointing to the circle of islands in Anaheim. After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Malekith.

At this time, Malekith neither nodded nor denied, but looked at the place pointed by Darkus with intense orange eyes.

"After we prepared a large amount of supplies for the long-term siege in Krakalund, we gathered our army and set off from Krakalund, passed through the Venom Forest, and laid siege to Anaheim." Darkus pointed with his finger again He found an outlet of the underground sea and continued, "A small number of Black Ark cooperated with the army to block Anaheim and destroy the navy there."

"If the dragon ships of our cousin navy are deployed in full force, we will fight them in these islands! Black Ark, plunder ship, hell dragon, and through the cooperation of the army on the islands. If everything goes well in the early stage, they should not be able to defeat them in this decisive battle. How many conventional ships are there? Use spies to take advantage of the discord between the Phoenix Court and the Inner and Outer Ring Kingdoms to force out the few dragon ships they have left! They should come over!"

"After we come here, these islands will become the key to our victory. As long as we make full use of the length and number of the Black Ark to block their proud dragon ships between these islands, then these dragon ships will be the targets, and the dragon blades of the dragon ships will will be unable to function, our land forces on the archipelago will paralyze their dragon ships with Reaper Ballistas and large magical harvests! This will create opportunities for gang-hopping to board their dragon ships! If Aris Anar takes his shadow It would be better if they log in and harass our supply lines near Anaheim. That is our home field and I can hunt more conveniently to end this farce that has lasted for five thousand years. I still lack a handful. Take advantage of the bow." Darkus looked up at Malekith and said with a smile, while speaking, he took out the pipe from his arms and held it in his mouth.

The Asur are considered a seafaring race, and their navy is powerful. Although the Druchi Navy is also very large, it is still unable to compete with the expertise of the Asur fleet. Each ship in the Assur fleet is an excellent example of elven craftsmanship. Each ship is carefully crafted by Assur shipwrights. They study their craft not just for decades, but for several years. Century, a fool can become an outstanding, outstanding and professional shipwright after so long, and the tool in their hands is their sharpest sword. The resulting ships were sleek, agile, and fast, but also extremely durable and strong, able to withstand the most terrible storms and horrific ravages of battle.

Assul's crews were as skilled and dedicated as the craftsmen who built them, and protected by the Lothern Sea Guards. As adept at sea combat as they were on land, the ships were organized into fleets that spread across the world. Assur's will spread from the shores of Ulthuan to distant Cathay.

What does Druch have? Darkus, whose family runs a shipyard, knows all too well that plundering ships are built by slaves with extremely fast iteration cycles. Isn't it nonsense to expect slaves to carry forward the spirit of craftsmanship? Can the salary be increased or the remuneration improved? A very small number of Assur shipwright slaves will not work as hard as they did in Ulthuan. Just have that thing and be able to do business. The performance of the raider ship is so good only because the black pine wood in the Venom Forest is of good quality. The most important thing is It's Druchi's ships that come by quantity.

As for Black Ark? That thing requires no technology, just lay black marble on top, and then the sorceresses in the family will use magic to join these marbles to form the hull. Although time is extremely slow, it can be sorted out at least. As for the upper deck buildings? It all depends on the sorceress’s mood, house purchase requirements and changes in time.

The sorceresses of the Tower of Destruction are comparable to the mages of the White Tower of Hoth. This comparison means that the new mages of the White Tower of Hoth will go to the fields to practice and show off their skills, so Saffre's fields often have excellent harvests. The low-level dark sorceresses from the Tower of Destruction who have gone through twelve cruel trials are arranged to serve as free labor interns at the shipyard for a period of time. They can not only practice magic, but also get internship certificates, and the family can also benefit. It is a so-called win-win!

Not to mention the Drukki sailors, the iteration cycle is also very fast. Drukki's purpose of becoming a sailor is weird and weird. Those who escape from military service, those who stay away from the paradise land of Nagaros, those who speculate, those who want to become famous, those who want to make a fortune. , few people want to be a skilled sailor, but the skill is also said to be true. At least Dastan Cold Eyes and his sailors left a deep impression on Darkus when he commanded the plunderer.

Assur is known to craft planks, dragon ships, and staffs from starwood, the bane of all unclean things, and the resin that flows from it gleams like gold, making the entire hull look like a dragon's scales. This kind of wood is abundant in the forests of the Draco constellation in Amhara. It is twice as thick as ordinary star wood and only half as high as ordinary star wood. It is suitable for building dragon ship hulls. But the funny thing is that the star wood there has been around for five thousand years. It was burned by Druchi during the Great Schism.

So since then Assur has been unable to build dragon ships anymore. The loss of every dragon ship is a tragedy, and when such a tragedy occurs, the glory of this dragon ship will be sung in the form of a legendary epic. Therefore, these valuable dragon ships are only seen during war, and not involved in peacetime or less important missions.

There are three ways to solve the dragon boat. The first is the strange star tree in the forest that looks like dragon scales. The second is that there is really a dragon on the dragon boat. The third is the terrifying dragon blade, which is like a horn. s things.

The dragon blade is made of fine gold and alloy materials, heated in the dragon's breath, and carved by the most powerful spells of advanced mages. It is known as the most powerful substance in the entire world. Dragon blades are often inlaid with emblems from ancient times, and few people can look directly at these magical emblems without falling into madness.

The dragon boat (catamaran) is equipped with dragon blades at both ends of the front end, allowing the dragon boat to cut through the hulls of other boats like a sharp blade cutting through butter, completely crushing them.

(Don’t ask how long the dragon boat is and how it can defeat the Black Ark, because I don’t know now.)

"No! My dear adjutant, this is just your wishful thinking. Our cowardly cousins ​​will never dispatch their few remaining dragon ships unless they have to!" Malekith said in a mocking tone. At the same time, his right hand The fingers rubbed together.

Before Darkus could light it himself, the tobacco in the pipe was already lit by Malekith's magic.

"Then if they choose to retain their naval strength, we will capture Anaheim, then station a large-scale army there, strengthen the defense while expanding the port, and turn it into a marching and supply base for the attack on Ulthuan, which will be convenient Our navy goes there for maintenance. The most important thing is that it is convenient for our army to send out from Anaheim and Kalonde Carl at the same time, go hand in hand!" After Dakoous exhaled the smoke, he drew two attacks on the map. Line, the troops are pointing directly at Ulthuan!

Darkus's strategy not only established Druchi's victory rate, but also fought for the interests of the Hell Calamity Family and Krakaronde. If Druchi's army really split into two groups, one of the commanders would definitely be Malekith, then the other way is Nukel, because the interests of the Hell Calamity family are consistent with Malekith.

"What about Nagaryth?" Malekith asked, pointing to Tal Anlek on the map.

"Why are you always thinking about your broken Anlek?" Of course, this was just what Darkus was thinking about, and he didn't say it out loud.

"My Majesty, to be honest, it's a rotten land right now. There's no need to invest our energy there. I really don't recommend landing on Tal Anlek in Nagaryth like we did in the previous expedition. Rebuild it into a base for hoarding supplies and setting off, and then send the limited Druchi army to the Griffin Gate, Phoenix Gate and Unicorn Gate. No matter what method we use to break through these fortresses in the end, we can enter the Inner Ring Kingdom. On the road, our army will suffer heavy losses!"

"Aris Anal will definitely bring his shadow to harass our supply lines in Nagaryth. Besides, if we march into Ulthuan in this way, it will virtually increase the authority of the Phoenix King. They can attack us When attacking these fortresses, we must gather the armies of each kingdom and organize a decisive battle. Looking back, our way of marching is undoubtedly an adventure. If there is a decisive battle... maybe we will be defeated again. Drive down the sea! Even if we win, there will be no troops marching into the inner ring." Darkus slowly formed his words while exhaling smoke, his brows furrowed, and he shook his head slightly at Malekith. I really don't like this traditional approach in my heart, because Malekith has failed several times with this approach.

Malekith was not angry because of Darkus's offense. He supported his iron hand on the table and quietly looked at Nagaryth on the map that haunted him, the place where he was born, his His first memory of his hometown was the blue sky over Nagaryth. To this day, he still vividly remembers the scene of his first horseback riding, with dragons flying in the sky, clouds surrounding the mountains, and the green sea. He always remembers the quiet moments when he was with his father when he was a child.

The throne room fell silent for an instant. Malekith looked at Nagaryth on the map and fell into memories, while Darkos was also exhaling smoke and looking at the map and thinking. He didn't think that the fog in the outer ring of Ulthuan was What impact will it have on Druch's fleet? The fog may affect the direction of those Norscan pirates, but for Druch's large fleet, it's like going home, laying out a long line on the sea. You can even touch the snake array.

"Continue, my dear adjutant." Malekith broke away from his memories and said firmly to Darkus.

"My Majesty, to put it bluntly, as long as we control the sea, Ulthuan is an island! As long as there is no navy and maritime trade, Ulthuan is an island!" Darkus said while pointing his finger on the map. Ulthuan drew circles.

Malekith didn't look at the map, he was looking at Darkus quietly.

"Are we still using the idea of ​​peeling onions, cutting the flesh with dull knives, and constantly removing the silkworms and nibbling away? Ulthuan, we make full use of our naval superiority to harass the ports and coastal villages of the Outer Rim Kingdoms, leaving our cowardly cousins ​​exhausted. Too busy to take care of themselves, they can only passively defend and wait for slow death. During this period, we can use spies to create chaos in Ulthuan and sow discord between the outer ring kingdom and the inner ring kingdom. For example, promising benefits to the seafaring families of the Emerald Sea can Let their ships fly an identifying flag, and our navy will pretend the ships don't exist as long as they fly that identifying flag."

"As long as those greedy Emerald Sea families have tasted the sweetness, they will continue to do this. We can let the spies expose this matter after their ships return to Lothern. The human and physical evidence is there to create the inner and outer ring kingdom." Political crisis. We can also use spies to spread an unfavorable reputation against Sea Lord Aislin in Ulthuan and force his dragon ships to come out for a decisive battle." Malekith added, having lived for nearly 6,500 years, he had seen too much Many times, he has seen countless heroes rise, countless heroes fall, and countless countries come into existence from scratch, turn from prosperity to decline, and disappear in the dust.

Darkus nodded. At this time, he was not complimenting, but was thinking about what Malekith said. He did not think that the expressions of those doing business had such a thing as moral integrity. The Outer Rim Kingdom was tired of being beaten. , the inner ring kingdom happily engages in maritime trade, is this justified? In this river? He didn't think Aislin could bear it, huddled in the port, or wandering in circles with them in the vast sea. How could Aislin's violent temper, the kind of temper that he knew he couldn't beat even if he got angry, endure it until that point? He will definitely fight the enemy directly when he sees them.

"We created an illusion for our cousins ​​that they seemed slow but were actually fast. By the time they reacted, it was already too late. The noose tightened little by little around their necks. In the end, they could only make a death struggle, unable to use their strength. Passive." Darkus exhaled smoke and looked at the map and said sinisterly.

"Did Nucker tell you these strategies that you are thinking of? No! Nucker does not have this kind of thinking and strategy. He is better at land strategies and tactics. I know my former adjutant very well. Malekith looked at Darkus and asked, and then denied it himself. When he observed Dacus before, he just felt that Dacus was somewhat similar to his former good friend and good adjutant Alandrian, and the occasional noise was slightly louder, although Dacus showed some peculiar behaviors. He was also a little dissatisfied with his talent and ability. He asked Darkus to stay with him, just to accompany him to relieve his boredom, play a role-playing game, and then give him some advice and qualifications in the face of the Hell Calamity family. .

But Malekith seems to be a little shaken by things like fate now. The strategy Darkus said is completely feasible. This strategy will put the initiative completely in his hands. If he is patient and keeps doing it, If he goes on, he doesn't even need to march into Ulthuan, Ulthuan will fall into collapse and decline soon, and the fruits of victory will come to his mouth too quickly.
