Captain Belsara led everyone to the bow of the ship, pointed to the front and said: "Earl Stewart, the bow of this battleship is a gift from the Morning Star family. It is a masterpiece of a master sculptor of our elves. It is based on It’s carved in your image.”

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough they saw the extremely beautiful bow statue. The carving showed Christine wearing battle armor, holding a long sword, and with white wings behind her back.

Picture found online, ship bow image

The material of the statue was taken from the scene when Christine fought against the master mage. The exquisite skills of the elf master made the statue lifelike, as if it could flap its wings and fly in the next second.

"It's so beautiful."

"This is art."

Although Captain Nelson and others were not from a very good background, there is no way that people who have been wandering at sea all year round have never seen the bow portraits of battle cruisers and battleships from other countries. There are really not many that can compare with this one.

Christine was extremely embarrassed at this moment and wanted to dig through the deck and hide in the cabin.

It is normal for high-status people in this continent to find carvers to make sculptures in the image of themselves, their wives and lovers, and to paint their own portraits. Although the prow images of ships are usually made of various types of monsters, sea beasts, and historical heroes, the elves also have good intentions.

So she could only accept it, otherwise what would she do?

In order to relieve the embarrassment, Christine immediately said loudly; "Captain Nelson, I appoint you as the captain of the Tulip."

"As ordered, I will live and die with the battleship!" Captain Nelson replied loudly.

What he said was true. Being able to become the commander of a sailing battleship is already a lifelong pursuit of a captain, and being able to sink to the bottom of the sea with a battleship is a glorious destination for a captain.

"Hull, I appoint you first mate of the Tulip."

"As ordered!"

After a few more important appointments on the ship, Captain Nelson did the rest.

Standing next to the helmsman, Nelson loudly ordered: "Blow the trumpet, raise the sail, and set sail."

Immediately, a trumpeter blew the cornet, and the sailors got busy at their respective posts with the elven sailors, while the sailors began to inspect various weapons under the leadership of their elven counterparts.

Captain Nelson and First Officer Hull were fortunate enough to have served as interns on the Royal Oak sailing battleship when they went to the Principality of Wende, and now they are naturally familiar with the command.

Besides, with Captain Belsara giving guidance from the side, Christine believed that the Tulip would be ready for combat by the time it reached its destination.

Since this battleship was built according to elven living standards, the crew was much smaller and the living space for each person was much larger. On this basis, Christine also laid off fifty combat soldiers so that she could have a suite to herself.

There are two rooms facing each other in the outer room of the suite. Each room has two beds, a table, and a locker. Elena and the fox sisters live there. Then there is the living room, next to the living room there is a bathroom with a bathtub, and at the end is Christine's bedroom.

The bedroom is designed with a soundproofing array and a temperature control array. After all, sea voyages usually take a long time, and Christine has to consider the onset of blood vessel symptoms.

The chart room on the ship is equipped with a special communication circle for communication, which is powered by magic stones. Of course, it can also be charged by a mage.

Christine previously recruited a group of children with mage qualifications, and now they have become mage apprentices, and they will take turns serving as stationed mages. Under normal circumstances, a sailing battleship must be equipped with at least one fifth-level mage, but the Stewart leader has limited conditions and can only do this for now.

The highest point on the poop of the battleship is the spell range extension circle, where the garrison mage casts a third-level attack spell or uses a third-level spell scroll to increase the casting distance, which is also powered by magic stones.

The enhanced "Fireball Technique" has a range of nearly 500 meters, as well as the explosive power of mortar shells and a very high hit rate. It is really the first choice for destroying ships. It has no shortcomings except for the high cost.

This is also the reason why mages are equipped as standard on sailing battleships, to intercept the opponent's spell attacks.

But in any case, due to Christine's investment regardless of cost, the Tulip is stronger than ordinary battleships in terms of defense and combat effectiveness.

The sail battlecruiser can be understood as a beggar’s version of the sail battleship.

Although the volume and number of masts are the same and can carry the same number of sailors and soldiers, because the metal plate protection and thickened oak boards in key parts have been eliminated, there is no spell amplification array, and only a dozen large crossbows are equipped. Therefore, the relative speed will be faster, and of course the cost will be lower.

However, this speed advantage has been evened out by the elves' superb shipbuilding technology. Due to design and manufacturing processes, battleship elves of the same level are 10% faster than humans.

Since they had known about the construction of warships for a long time, the sailors and navy led by Stewart had undergone targeted training in advance, and after all the adaptation training, they had formed combat effectiveness.

After seeing off the elven sailors led by Belsara, the Tulip, flying the flag of Stuart, sailed into the Bay of Biscay, preparing for its first battle.

.

Kelsey is the naval vice-commander of the Earl of Galicia. This week it is his turn to lead the fleet to blockade the port of Dominaria.

Because the Stuart leader only had one three-masted heavy cruiser, it did not dare to sail out of the port under the strong pressure of its own navy. The fleet only had to stay within the nine-kilometer scanning range of the Mage Tower in Dominaria City.

So in his opinion, the blockade mission is not much different from daily training.

Moreover, the previous interception and dissuasion had stopped the passing ships from taking the route close to Dominaria Port. Some ships that came without knowing it were stopped by subordinates. For Kelsey, this was a tragedy. Vacation.

Of course, he had to distract himself from taking care of the mage on the ship.

I don’t know where the Earl of Renn, who lost his territory, invited several master mages. Two of them were ninth-level senior mages. It was because of this situation that his Earl agreed to declare war with the Stewart Territory.

Now that I have a ninth-level mage and a seventh-level mage invited by Count Renn on board my flagship, I can say that I can rest easy.

Last time, Earl Stewart came over in person. Although he didn't know why he had wings, he retreated after the two mages on the boat flew up.

This shows what? This shows that Count Kristen Stewart, who is said to be able to kill a master mage, is nothing more than that.

"My lord, deputy commander! My lord, deputy commander! Something bad has happened!" the first mate shouted and ran into the cabin.

"There's nothing to panic about. Don't you know you have to knock on the door when you come in?" Kelsey said displeased.

"Oh." The first mate was about to go out and knock on the door again to come in.

"Don't waste time, tell me if you have anything to say."

"My Lord, the Vice-Commander, a sailing battleship was discovered, flying the flag of the Earldom of Stuart."
