Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 123 Tulip (1)
The reason why Master Honerson looks down on Lord Julie and Lord Melanie is because he wants to leave his energy to concentrate on dealing with "Countess Reese".
The person wearing the skin of "Mrs. Reese" is a succubus demon. The fighting skills of the two snake demons are naturally not comparable to those of the two snake demons. Moreover, she has the blessing of the "Countess", which makes Master Honerson very excited. excited.
.
Half a month after the declaration of war, the blockade of the Port of Dominaria by the Galician Navy has been very effective. Because the number of warships is sufficient, it can be divided into two fleets for rotation, and the morale of the sailors who can fully rest is very high.
In fact, if it were not to maintain pressure on the Stewart Territory, there would be no need for so many warships. The merchants leaving the port had already spread the news that the two territories had declared war, and the ships passing by would not have insisted on going to Dominion. Naria Port and Rabia Port docked, and it didn’t matter even if a few ships were missed.
The fleet was not stationary, but was cruising between several major routes, which made it impossible for Christian to conduct a night sneak attack. Looking for a random fleet sailing on the vast sea is really like finding a needle in a haystack.
According to the news from the spies, there are no foreign merchant ships in the port of Dominaria City. Stewart led not to mention warships and even fishing boats did not dare to go out. They were all parked in the port. The taverns and hotels that serve maritime merchants and sailors are almost empty, and the stevedores sit on the docks every day and are bored.
The development of the situation was just as expected by the Earl of Galicia, Earl of Rennes, and Master Honerson. After the port was shut down, Dominaria Port lost a lot of revenue. It is estimated that the other party should send someone to negotiate peace.
.
On the northwest side of the Iberian Peninsula, two merchant ships were anchored near an uninhabited island.
Suddenly, the lookout on the ship's mast shouted: "Coming, coming!"
The sailors and navy who heard the shouts rushed to the deck one after another, and Captain Nelson hurriedly ran into the cabin to report: "Your Majesty, the ship is coming."
"it is good."
When Christine came to the deck, she could already see the outline of a huge battleship in the distance. It was a four-masted sailing battleship.
"Hang the territorial flag," Captain Nelson shouted.
Although this uninhabited island is far away from the waterway and it is impossible for ships to pass by, out of caution, any flags that can reveal the identity have been taken off. Now when you see the target, you need to raise the territorial flag immediately to show your identity.
The warship in the distance obviously saw the flag and began to lower its sails and slow down, and then slowly docked near the merchant ship.
Ding! Someone used "message" to want to talk to you, and Kristen immediately connected.
"Good day, Earl Stewart, I am Belsara Silvermoon. I have been ordered by the Queen to hand over this battleship to you. Please come aboard."
"Thank you."
Christine used the "flying technique" and flew directly over. At the same time, several small boats were released from the merchant ship. Captain Nelson, First Mate Hull and others took the sailors and navy to board the warship in small boats.
"Good day, Earl Stewart, and welcome to your battleship."
"Captain Belsara, thank you for your hard work."
"Allow me to introduce it to you."
Captain Belsara led everyone to visit and introduced: "This four-masted sailing battleship belongs to the Queen class and is one of the most powerful battleships so far. Earl Stewart, it was named Tulip according to your request, but I prefer to call it the Tulip Queen."
"This battleship is seventy-five meters long, sixteen meters wide, and has a displacement of nearly two thousand tons. The entire ship is made of specially treated oak, with key parts covered with metal plates and all using expensive alchemical fire-retardant paint. This battleship It can carry four hundred sailors and soldiers, of course based on our elven living standards."
"The old Royal Oak battleship has ten large crossbows on each side for a total of twenty. This is to allow the crossbows to shoot into the air. This Queen-class battleship is a brand-new design. According to your requirements, anti-aircraft is not considered, so the two There are ten large crossbows on each side of the crossbow deck, for a total of forty on the entire ship.”
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for finding the crossbow string production process during the ancient Netheril Magic Empire. This has extended the service life of the crossbow arrows and made it possible to add crossbow arrows to the battleship."
"The anti-air crossbows of this battleship are set up on the open deck, with five on each side and ten in total. Although it is very effective, I have to admit that it is too extravagant."
The reason why traditional sail battleships only carry twenty large crossbows and place them below the deck is because the sea is humid and windy. The large crossbows are made of wood and iron. Once they get wet, their use will be affected, and the strings of the crossbows will also be affected. Moisture effects. If you put it under the deck and open the shooting port when needed, it will have a much longer service life than if you put it on the deck to be exposed to wind, sun and rain.
Christine's ship put ten large crossbows on the deck and the sight for shooting in the air must be very good, but the service life was also very short. She can do this with just one ship, but it would not be possible if it were replaced by a country with many battle cruisers and battleships, and it cannot afford the money.
Furthermore, because of the existence of mages and flying units, the biggest threat to battleships comes from the air. Large crossbows can only bully fleets and ships without mages. In this case, ten crossbows on one side of the sail battleship are enough to sink the opponent, and more are useless.
Stewart may have only one sailing battleship in a short period of time, so from the beginning of the design, Christine requested that a single salvo can sink a three-masted heavy cruiser, so this multi-crossbow design was born.
As for air defense, not to mention ten large crossbows, it is quite sufficient. If this warship can be used in a naval battle, she will most likely participate in the battle. Protecting this ship should not be a problem.
As for why the elves built this sailing battleship for Christine, it was because she had money after attending the banquet held by Viscount Brieux and killing the blasphemous priest Masha, so she placed an order with the elves. (Please see Chapter 78)
At that time, the cost of building this battleship was 50,000 gold coins. Later, Christine had new income, so she modified the design of the battleship and added 20,000 gold coins for construction funds.
Today is the day when this battleship is delivered. In order to avoid the spy Christine from the Count of Galicia, the handover was specially arranged near this uninhabited island.
The first battle of this battleship is to defeat the Galician naval force that blockaded the port of Dominaria.
The elf sailors will follow them all the way, teaching and training the Stewart sailors and naval soldiers step by step until they leave by ship on the eve of entering the battlefield.
As long as the alien race does not directly participate in the battle, it does not violate the rules. After all, the dwarves sell a large number of swords, armors and other weapons to the mainland every year. Are the nobles who purchased these sophisticated weapons not allowed to use them when going to war?
Of course, it won't work if you buy it after the war starts.
