Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Chapter 125 Battle of the Bay of Biscay (1)

"What? Say it again!" Deputy Commander Kelsi's first reaction after hearing the news was that he heard it wrong.

"My Lord, Vice Commander, we have discovered a sailing battleship, flying the flag of the Earldom of Stewart." The first mate repeated it again.

"How is that possible?" Kelsey still didn't want to believe that this was true.

It is no exaggeration to say that the shipbuilding industry is the top manufacturing industry on the mainland except for magic. Although coastal countries have their own shipyards, they can only build three-masted civilian sailing ships at most, and few can build heavy cruisers.

Only five countries on the mainland, the Kingdom of Apennines, the Kingdom of Iberia, the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of the Rhine, and the Principality of Belgium, have the ability to build sailing battleships and battlecruisers, and each kingdom has only one shipyard with construction capabilities.

Besides, it takes more than one or two years to build a sailing battleship. As long as a shipyard lays the keel and starts building a new ship, all the nobles who should know about it will also know about it. But Kelsey, as the naval deputy of the Earl of Galicia, The commander had never heard of it.

But thinking about it, he immediately followed the first mate to the deck.

Sure enough, in the distance was a four-masted sailing battleship, with the Stewart flag flying high on it even more eye-catching.

Seeing this, Kelsey immediately ordered: "Send the signal, turn the fleet and return to the port city of A Coruña!"

Although he couldn't recognize the class model of this battleship in his hurry, a battleship is a battleship. It has more crossbows and magic amplification circles, so his battle cruiser will definitely not be able to defeat the opponent. If he doesn't run away, he will die. What?

Although there are many ships on our own side, only our battle cruiser has large crossbows, and the rest can only engage in gang-hopping battles. The prerequisite for a gang-hopping battle is that the ship must be able to get close to it. There are at least ten large crossbows on one side of the battleship. A single volley of explosive arrows can kill half of the people on the opposite deck.

How can we fight this, so run away quickly.

The other warships who received the order turned around and ran towards the port of A Coruña as fast as possible. They didn't care about the formation at all. Although they couldn't figure out why there was a battleship flying the Stuart flag, no matter what they were doing, the most important thing was to escape.

In fact, it was purely a coincidence that Christine met the Galician fleet. Her original plan was to sail directly to their territory and blockade the port of La Coruna.

You block my port, and I will block your port. No one can make money, and everyone will hurt each other.

It's not that Christine doesn't want to fight the opponent's fleet, but she doesn't know who the commander of this fleet is, and why she is so timid. She starts running when she sees herself from a distance, and she can't catch up.

But the fact that the battleship couldn't catch up didn't mean that it couldn't sink the opponent's ship. Christine immediately went back to the room to change the battle armor, then activated the "Angel Battle Gear" and spread her wings to fly towards the Galician leader fleet.

The reason why I have to go back and change my clothes is because this suit of armor is close-fitting and will burst if I don't take off the clothes inside first. If it's not an emergency, I can't afford to buy a new set of clothes.

At this time, Jacob's ninth-level mage and another seventh-level mage who were accompanying the ship had already arrived on the deck. They were standing at the highest point of the stern with Deputy Commander Kelsi to look out when they saw a figure flying from the other side's warship. Running towards him, the two mages also blessed themselves with protective spells, and then used the "flying technique" to fly.

After Christian flew closer, he ignored the two mages floating above the battle cruiser. Instead, he unfolded a "fireball" scroll and blasted it at a single-masted light battleship at the edge of the fleet below.

At this moment, the mast was broken and the sail was damaged. The speed of the light battleship immediately dropped.

Previously, because of her formation, the battle patrols and mages were in front, preventing her from attacking other ships. Now they are all running away at full speed. Not only is the formation messed up, but no one can care about anyone else, so they can naturally explode at will.

Upon seeing this, the two mages immediately flew over to stop him. Christine didn't stop for long, turned around and flew back.

Master Jacob stopped the seventh-level mage who wanted to pursue him.

He knew that it was true that Earl Stewart killed the master mage, but he still couldn't confirm what method the other party used. Therefore, for Master Jacob, if the opponent comes alone, he dares to rely on the anti-aircraft crossbows with battle patrols to intercept them, but he does not dare to pursue them and attack the warships. If there is an ambush on the ship, it will be in vain if he goes there.

The light battleship that lost its mast not only slowed down but was also unable to turn and escape. It was soon overtaken by the Tulip. It was very easy to deal with this kind of small boat. As it passed by, the crossbow arrow on the deck fired a bursting arrow under the waterline, easily blowing a two-meter-square hole in the not-thick hull.

There is no need to kill them all. In the vast sea, it is good to be able to survive.

After Christine used the fireball technique to blow up the mast of the single-masted light battleship for the third time, Kelsey had no choice but to order that the other ships dispersed and retreated except for the heavy cruiser that continued to follow her.

This squadron has a four-masted battle cruiser, a three-masted heavy cruiser, three two-masted light cruisers and a dozen single-masted light battleships. It is impossible for two mages to protect so many ships.

Kristen did not fight them head-on. Instead, she led two mages in circles in the air, looking for an opportunity to blow up a light battleship and then retreat. No one could do anything about this rogue style of play.

Christine only had one battleship, and the other party was running away, so she could only stare at the battle cruiser and continue to pursue it.

As the flagship, Kelsey's battle cruiser was equipped with a communication circle. When he sent the news back to the city of La Coruna, the Earl of Galicia was also confused.

He immediately checked with several powerful nobles who had fleets in their hands, and their answers were that they had not sold their warships to Earl Stewart. Isn't this strange? A sailing battleship will never appear out of thin air. The shipyard has no news of construction, and those who have ships have not sold them. So how did this come about?

The elves must be the elves. Earl Stewart has a very good relationship with the elves and purchased it from them. Earl Stewart violated the rules that foreign nobles cannot participate in human noble wars.

But when the Earl of Galicia rushed to the Temple of the God of Order excitedly and reported the "violation" of the Stewart leader, the reply he received was that there was no such thing.

Since humans are prohibited from setting foot on Elf Island, although the construction of warships has long been started, the news has not been leaked at all. After investigation, the Church of the God of Order found that even if there was no war between the two territories, the delivery period of the battleship would only be within these few months.

So it can only be said that the Count of Galicia was unlucky and chose such a time to declare war.
