Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

The strongest navy in the entire main world belongs to the elves, followed by the Kingdom of Iberia, the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Apennines, the Principality of Bihe, the Kingdom of the Rhine, the Kingdom of Piast, and the Principality of Rhodes Sea.

Most of the so-called navies of nobles in other places are modified merchant ships. The better ones have a few light battleships or one or two heavy cruisers. Their main task is to patrol the coast and prevent piracy. After all, although there are many nobles along the coast, not many can afford a regular navy.

The three countries, the Kingdom of Rhine, the Kingdom of Piast, and the Principality of Rhodes Sea, were far away and had small navies. They also needed to guard against orc tribes crossing the sea to clear grass and valleys, so they were not sent here.

According to the results of negotiations between various countries, the Kingdom of Iberia, the Kingdom of France, and the Kingdom of Apennines are each responsible for intercepting demons that land in their own countries. In comparison, the Kingdom of France has the shortest coastline, so you can just take responsibility for it. The Kingdom of Elf sends a fleet to support the Kingdom of Iberia, and the Principality of Belgium sends a fleet to support the Kingdom of Apennines.

However, because the Galician Territory of the Iberian Kingdom failed in the war with the Stewart Territory, not only did it lose its territory, but it also lost its navy.

King Alfonso of the Kingdom of Iberia would be very happy if the fleet of a local noble was gone. But when a demonic disaster broke out, the more warships to intercept the demons crossing the sea, the better. It would be even worse if such a fleet was missing at this time. But that's it.

Naval battles on the mainland are mainly based on side-to-side battles. This is because ships are also important trophies, and the profit is higher if they are captured than if they are sunk. Not to mention that the goods carried on merchant ships are valuable. Even if pirates rob the ship all year round, there are still many valuable things on the ship, let alone sinking it.

But why are the sail battleships and sail battle cruisers equipped with large crossbows? It is to intercept the sea-crossing demons after the demonic disaster breaks out.

Fighting a boarding battle with a demon is a fool's errand. The area available for movement on the ship is small and the terrain is complex. The human side cannot take advantage of battle formations and tactics. The battle is based on the individual combat effectiveness of the soldiers. In this regard, the demon has an absolute advantage.

Besides, even if you win, it will be an act of killing one thousand enemies and damaging yourself eight hundred, and the broken ship built by the devil is useless even if humans seize it. If you are unlucky and encounter one with poor quality, it may break up before returning to port.

It would be better to stay away and sink it directly. With the range of the large crossbow, the demons have no way to fight back. You only need to pay attention to those demons that can fly. This is why the large crossbows of sail battleships and battle cruisers also need to be used for shooting in the air. It may not be possible to fight mages with many skills, but it will definitely be useful to fight flying demons.

Therefore, battleships and battle cruisers are the main force to intercept demons crossing the sea. The mission of other small boats is mainly reconnaissance. Once the demon brigade is discovered, the main force will be called immediately. If there are one or two lone boats, they will be attacked according to the actual situation. If they can't be beaten, it will be okay.

Why else would the Elf Expedition Fleet send all capital ships? If a capital ship is lucky, it can sink ten demon troop transport ships and kill nearly a thousand demons without any loss. Among them, there will be more than ten or twenty big ones. demon. If this was done on land, even if they won, at least a few knights and hundreds of soldiers would be lost.

In history, there is a record of a sailing battleship sinking many demon ships and killing nearly ten thousand demons. The captain was awarded a title and the sailors made a lot of bounties. Although it is an isolated case, it also illustrates the problem.

Of course, if you are unlucky, if you encounter a flying high-level demon or a high-level demon mage on the ship, the outcome will be unpredictable, but how can a war of this scale not suffer losses?

It can be seen from this that the two sail battle cruisers of the Navy of the Count of Galicia were very useful, but now they are gone.

When the kingdom built ships for the Count of Galicia, there were additional conditions, that is, once the kingdom's navy went to war, the Galician navy would also follow him. But Christian didn't sign this agreement. I will pay the shield tax to your king on time every year. If I want to go to war, I can go. If I don't want to go, you can't force me.

Why didn't the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Iberia ask Christine to send a fleet? Because this is not something I can do just by giving an order. You have to provide practical benefits, and there must be no less. For these two countries, the warships in hand at the beginning of the Demonic Disaster were enough. Since they were not needed for the time being, there was no need to spend a lot of money to let Stewart's fleet join the war.

But the elves are different. They have a small population. There are nearly 300 people on a battle cruiser and nearly 400 people on a battleship. These are not ordinary sailors, they are elites. It would be heartbreaking to lose a ship. several years. So I wanted to take the battleship led by Stewart with me. After all, there is safety in numbers.

After hearing what Ilulis said, Christine felt that this was feasible. "Teaming up to fight monsters" was indeed safer for both parties, but she was not sure whether her own navy could do it. She said, "This matter Let me ask first."

So he ordered: "Go and notify Commander Jerome and Captain Nelson to come over."

"As ordered."

The barracks has a special communication array that uses magic stones to charge. After a few minutes, the two of them received the news and hurried over.

"Salute to you, Your Excellency Earl, Your Excellency Ilulis." The two saluted.

"I invite you here to hear your opinion on something. The elves have sent an expedition fleet, and Ilulis invites the territorial navy on behalf of the Elf Royal Court..."

Kristine briefly explained the matter, and then asked: "I want to know if the territorial navy has the ability to participate in combat."

The two looked at each other, and then the navy commander Jerome said: "Your Majesty, the territorial mages have been sent to garrison various places. The battleships cannot go out without mages. There is also the issue of air defense. I checked the information on previous magic disasters. , knowing that many demons can fly, if these two problems are solved, the navy will be able to participate in combat!"

"It's good to know how to look up information." Christine praised, then looked at Ilulis.

Ilulis naturally understood what Christine meant, and immediately expressed her position: "Leave the matter of mages and air defense to us."

Seeing that the problem was solved, Christine made a decision: "Cousin Ilulis, then I will send the three main battleships to join the battle."

"Thank you Cousin Christine."

After the matter was settled, Christine and Ilulis no longer needed to worry about the specific coordination between the two parties. The elves sent their old acquaintance Belsara Silveryue to be responsible for the coordination between the two parties. He has now been transferred to the newly built battlecruiser USS Hood as captain due to his military exploits, and is also one of the deputy commanders of this Elf expedition fleet.
