Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 229 The changing situation (5)
Since the beginning of the Demonic Disaster, the only warships captured by demons in naval battles were one sail battle cruiser and several heavy cruisers. Even if this capacity is filled with demons, it won't have much effect, but the situation will be different after the fleet in the Port of Barcelona is taken over.
Excluding the sailors who sailed the ship, this fleet could carry more than 4,000 little devils and over a hundred big devils. The most important thing is that it has the ability to sail long distances. In theory, it can sail to the Principality of Belgium or even the Principality of Rhodes Sea.
You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief in a thousand days. Countries cannot and cannot deploy sufficient defense forces in every coastal town.
Especially in some coastal cities in actual counties, the mage towers of the Mage Guild are built in the city, which can ensure the safety of the city, but the port area is far away and is not included in the scope. Normally, one or two groups of demons that come through small cracks in the space can be easily dealt with by a few fifth-level mages from the guild, but once more than a hundred large demons and thousands of small demons suddenly attack from the sea, they will be unable to resist.
Even if they can't attack the city, there are still a lot of people living in the port area. Once they are massacred or even blood sacrificed, the demon's strength will be greatly increased. Moreover, there will be some merchant ships anchored in any port. If they are plundered again, wouldn't the devil's maritime power become stronger like a snowball?
Even if they don't attack port towns, these demons can't stand it when they drive ships and plunder merchant ships on the waterways. Wouldn't those besieged port cities be cut off from sea supplies?
For all countries, the top priority is to solve the problem of the Demon Fleet, otherwise coastal cities, villages and towns will not be able to live in peace.
There are many merchant ships from various human countries, and even a hundred ships can be easily assembled. However, the sail battleships and battle cruisers captured by the demons are equipped with large crossbows. Although the arrows cannot be replenished, it is not a problem to sink dozens of merchant ships with the existing ammunition reserves. Using merchant ships to carry soldiers to fight warships is something humans can bear. Not such a big loss.
Therefore, the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Apennines each mobilized half of their existing warships to form a new fleet, specifically responsible for dealing with the demon fleet. It is impossible to transfer them all away. In the past, it didn't matter if the devil did not have sea power, but now the supply ship must be escorted by a fleet.
However, the combined warships of the two countries are only 1.5 times the size of the Demon Fleet. Now divided into half, they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, not to mention that the Demon has an advantage in terms of sailor combat effectiveness.
Fortunately, misfortunes never come singly. When the human side wanted to mobilize the remaining fleet of the Principality of Belgium to go south, a pirate attack broke out in the port city of Rotterdam. Several warships were sunk and most of them were seriously damaged.
The countries that received the news were shocked again. How could the largest port city in the Principality of Belgium be attacked by pirates? Even if it was attacked, how could it cause serious losses? The navy can't beat the pirates, isn't this a joke?
But the reality is this, it really happened. It's just that the pirates who attacked the port were not ordinary pirates, but dark elves were involved.
It is too common for businessmen in the Principality of Bihe to do business with foreign races for profit. The Church of the God of Order burns to death some businessmen who have fornicated with orcs every year. Since there are people who have fornication with orcs, it is not surprising that they have smuggling relationships with the Underdark.
The Priory of Sion, which was infiltrated by demons, was able to control several mercenary groups and pirate groups, and gathered people into the city to attack Christine. In order to harass the Elf Island, the dark elves must have ships, and secretly control several pirate groups. It's not a difficult thing.
With intelligence sources and attack power, planning an attack is as easy as eating and drinking water for the dark elves who are proficient in assassination. With a little bit of luck, the current result is achieved.
As for why the attack happened so coincidentally, and whether the dark elves had some secret deal with the devil, let alone the lack of evidence on the human side, even if there is evidence, so what, the reputation of the dark elves can no longer be bad.
As for the Kingdom of the Rhine and the Kingdom of Piast, the opponents of their two navies are only the large rafts and canoes of the Orcs. The strongest is the three-masted heavy cruiser. Not to mention how long it takes to go around half the continent, even if it is here, it is not Use it.
In desperation, the humans had no choice but to ask the elves for help. After all, the elves' expedition fleet basically suffered no losses, but they were rejected.
The reason given by the elves is also very reasonable, that is, they have fulfilled their obligation to fight against the demons. Now that the dark elves are attacking the Elf Island, the fleet must stay to protect their homeland.
The result of the original negotiation between the various races was that the elves sent an expedition fleet to assist humans and at the same time provide humans with a considerable amount of supplies. Those with money will pay, and those with money will pay. If the elves don't want more people to die, they will naturally have to pay.
During the entire interception operation, the Elven Expeditionary Fleet sank numerous demonic troop carriers, and even ranked among the best in terms of single-ship results. The promised supplies were also in place, and the human side had nothing to blame.
The elves paid a high price to drag Stewart's fleet into the battle just to save lives, and they fought against transport ships that had no resistance. But now we are fighting against the demon fleet. Even if we win, we will suffer huge losses. How could the elves agree?
When mentioning Earl Stewart, everyone immediately thought that she also had a fleet. Although there is only one sailing battleship and two battle cruisers, they are the latest ones that have been modified, which greatly increases the attack power against the ships while weakening the air defense.
Isn't this just right? There is no shortage of flying units on the human side. This kind of warship that can fight two ships is exactly what they want.
While the top leaders of various human countries were discussing the formation of a new fleet through the communication circle, the devil was not idle, and was also training sailors to become proficient in warships.
Demons are chaotic by nature, so let them fight full-time as high-end combat forces, while ordinary demons and other races are responsible for sailing ships.
Many human sailors were also captured when they plundered warships from the Port of Barcelona. It was impossible for them to keep secrets in the hands of demons, and all their sailing skills were learned by demons.
This wasn't enough. After draining the knowledge from their minds, the demon turned these sailors into semi-abyssal creatures and let them join the ranks of sailing ships.
Again, when the scale of the war reaches a certain level, all kinds of talents can be found, and the devil can also form a team of sailors who obey orders and prohibitions.
In order to make up for the lack of explosive arrows on the large crossbows, the demon also obtained a batch of arrows with local characteristics from the abyss and installed them on the newly made arrow shafts.
After attacking several human merchant ships, the devil was very satisfied with the performance of this fleet, and the next step was to do something big.
