Weird Star Witch

One second ago, Rudolf was saying that the Carolingians were his relatives and friends from his hometown, speaking impassionedly and spitting.

Ursula even felt deep guilt in her heart and asked Rudolph to deal with the Carolingians. This was simply too cruel. Who could do it?

The next second, Rudolph said such a cruel thing, he had to pay more.

At this moment, Ursula felt that her guilt just now was ridiculous. However, hope immediately ignited in her heart. Rudolph the Crucible was a terrifying wizard who killed several level 4 witch hunters instantly. If he took action, he would definitely reduce the pressure on the Golden Anchor Fleet.

Ursula hurriedly said: "I don't know how much money there is in the Earl's Castle, but there must be a lot of money! We have been preparing for this war for a long time. Mr. Rudolph, please give us a price, and we will definitely be able to satisfy you." !”

Rudolf felt that it was impossible to achieve any result from the negotiation with Ursula. This Ursula looked like a tool raised by the castle and had little experience in dealing with complex matters.

However, he saw Ursula looking back from time to time, looking at a knight behind her. Maybe this knight is the key figure in the castle, the person sent by Butler Wenler to make decisions.

Therefore, Rudolph said with a smile: "Don't talk so loudly. It will be embarrassing if you fail to promise."

Sure enough, Ursula looked at the knight again, and Rudolph had a rough judgment in his mind.

After seeing the knight nod, Ursula continued: "Golden Anchor Castle can definitely afford your reward!"

Rudolf pointed his finger at the ships that had been fighting on the sea: "I want a ship, a main ship."

It was too much trouble to wait for the count to transfer the ship to send Rudolf to the Southern Continent. Rudolf planned to get a ship of his own, a ship with an alchemical reinforcement array, so that he could have enough food and clothing by himself.

For a moment, the entire courtyard fell into silence.

Rudolph looked like he was pointing at a fish tank and saying to the fish seller, "I want a fish." However, he was referring to an alchemy ship!

After a brief silence, Ursula quickly spoke: "Impossible! The Royal Navy's Golden Anchor Fleet only has more than 40 ships, and they are still being damaged. It is impossible to give you a ship!"

Even though Ursula didn't pay much attention to the castle, she still knew the value of an alchemy ship, and she felt that Rudolph was having a whim.

The cost of building a main alchemy warship is about 600,000 gold shields, and subsequent voyage and maintenance costs are equally high.

This is not a matter of money. If Rudolph the Forge only offers 600,000 gold shields, it is really possible for the Earl's Castle to pay this money for the victory of this war. Winning this war will bring him more than 600,000 gold shields.

The more critical issue is that the cost of an alchemy ship is 600,000 gold shields. It does not mean that you can buy an alchemy ship with 600,000 gold shields. There is no equivalence between the two.

There are many alchemists serving various major nobles for money, but the number is far less than the number of alchemists in the Alchemy Council. This makes the nobles' alchemy ships more expensive to build and less productive. The Earl's Castle holds 600,000 gold shields and needs to wait three months to replenish a new ship.

Not only Ursula, but the knights behind Ursula were also restless. The horses were uncomfortably pawing the ground with their hooves due to the excessive exertion of the knight. They felt that coming to see a strange wizard was a waste of time.

"Mr. Rudolph! Your request is too much. It is far more than the cost of asking a level 4 apostle to take action."

Ursula's voice was so high that Rudolf just smiled and said: "I didn't say I had to have your ship. If there are captured Carolingian ships or Elba ships, I can accept it. I want it." It’s a ship, a ship that can move, it doesn’t matter whose it is.”

Bargaining, Rudolf tested the sincerity of the Earl's castle step by step, and constantly adjusted his strategy.

After hearing Rudolph's new conditions, Ursula thought for a moment and continued: "The captured ship is also the count's ship. How can I give you a ship? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Rudolf obviously didn't feel that his request was too much. He picked up the wine glass again:

“If it’s not possible, it’s a shame. The other conditions don’t mean anything to me, I just want a boat.

The original agreement between me and Viscount Paulus was that I would help the Count make witchcraft weapons, and he would find a ship to send me to the Southern Continent. Remember to remind the Viscount that I will complete the witchcraft he needs, and I hope he can keep his promise. "

Picking up the wine glass without pouring wine for the guests is a sign of chasing them away. Rudolf narrowed his eyes again and thought about how to get a boat.

For this war, the wizard Rudolf is an outsider, and his only goal is to go to the Southern Continent. If this place cannot satisfy his purpose, he can leave tonight and there is no need to stay here any longer.

Seeing the wizard Rudolph drinking wine leisurely again, Ursula was very anxious, and Kedrick behind her was equally anxious.

The two of them were worried about different things. What Ursula was worried about was that the Earl's Castle might experience a brutal defeat, and many people she knew might die in this war. Her social circle is so small. She has only known people from the Earl's castle since she was a child, and now many of those people are on the Cross Golden Anchor.

In addition to the success or failure of the Golden Anchor Fleet, Kedric was worried about himself. This was his only chance to participate in the war.

Although he is the fourth son of the earl, he has no power of his own. All the power belongs to the earl. His elder brother Caleb also has a huge say in the castle. The only huge power he can borrow is the wizard in front of him, the furnace Rudolf who is floating outside the camp.

"I agree with your request!"

A cavalryman behind Ursula suddenly spoke and took off his helmet.

"Master! This condition is too outrageous!"

The title of "Master" surprised Rudolf. Is this a big shot in the earl's castle?

The knight turned over and dismounted and walked towards Rudolf.

"I am the fourth son of Count Palu, Kedrick. I can agree to your conditions on behalf of the earl's castle.

I swear on my personality and the reputation of the Golden Anchor family. In exchange for a captured Carolingian ship or Elba ship, you will help the Royal Navy Golden Anchor Fleet tonight!"

Rudolf handed over a glass of wine and watched Kedrick raise his head and drink a glass of strong wine in one gulp.

"Good! Happy cooperation!"

The two men held hands with Rudolf.

Kedrick swore with his own personality and guaranteed with his family honor. Knights are very reassuring in terms of promises. This is already the highest level of commitment, which makes Rudolf happy. He stared at Kedrick: "I like your eyes. You are an ambitious person. Your eyes are full of hunger. You are a good partner."

"Then please do it, Mr. Rudolf the Furnace! Let your 'hometown friends' see your terror, just like you did in the Carolingian Kingdom!" Rudolf's smile was somewhat embarrassed: "As you wish, Master Kedrick."

The three criminals wanted by the Alchemy Council of the Carolingian Kingdom each grew a pair of level 3 iron bat wings behind them, stirred up countless dust, and flew away.

Kedrick stood there, looking at the figures of the three flying close to the coastline, a little envious.

It's not that he envied the iron bat wings. If he wanted, he could still get a level 3 magic weapon. What he envied was the sense of control of the strong. The fact that Rudolph the Crucible dared to participate in this kind of war proved that they were very confident in their own strength.

What Kedrick didn't know was that Rudolph, as cunning as he was, quickly slowed down after he left Kedrick's sight.

Getting a promise from others and rushing forward regardless of everything is what only a fool would do. Rudolph wanted to be strong and to succeed in being strong. He hid behind a reef and stopped moving forward, carefully observing the situation.

Cooper and Yvonne also stopped, and Cooper asked: "Don't you help the Golden Anchor Fleet as soon as possible?"

"No..." Rudolph shook his head: "It's easy to become the first bird to rush in now. Wait a little longer, wait until they are too anxious to take care of us, and then we will take action."

This place is very close to the sea where the battlefield is located, less than 500 meters, and from time to time there are stray bullets or crooked cannons that fire ammunition here.

Rudolph patiently waited for the opportunity to take action. The Cross Golden Anchor had not moved, and the flagship of the Alchemy Alliance had not moved, so there was no need for him to move.

As for the Alchemist Alliance, there are still more than 50 ships. The Royal Navy has only more than 30 ships left. If it were not for the help of the coastal defense heavy artillery, the Royal Navy would have lost its resistance long ago.

In the era when knights ruled the continent, the knights' navy mainly focused on boarding battles. At that time, the Royal Navy was called "knights riding on sailboats". When two sailboats approached, the knights would jump onto the enemy's deck and use their powerful ability to resist attacks to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop on the narrow deck.

The long heavy artillery equipped by the alchemists on the ships destroyed the knights' combat tradition. The Royal Navy at that time was sunk before boarding, and suffered a lot in the constitutional war one or two hundred years ago.

Now the Royal Navy formed by Carloman XVI has made many innovations in tactics. During this period, Rudolf collected a lot of intelligence on the Royal Navy. He had observed the Royal Navy's exercises and training from a distance.

The first tactic of the Royal Navy, like the alchemists, was also based on long heavy artillery tactics.

This tactic made the navies of both sides fight in a round-based system. If your broadside cannon fired a round, and if I didn't sink, then my broadside cannon also fired a round, and the casualties were extremely tragic. In a very short period of time, more than a dozen burning ships appeared on the sea.

Rudolf couldn't fly to the center of the battlefield to be the hero, surrounded by flying shells, as long as he didn't defend one, he would be blown to death.

The second tactic of the Royal Navy was their newly developed three-knight tactic.

The tonnage of steam turbine ships is much larger than that of sailing ships, and more knights can be deployed on the ships. On each knight ship, three main knights will be deployed, one knight is responsible for attack, and the other two knights are responsible for defense.

There is a knight team behind the three of them, and this configuration greatly increases the strength of the knight ship. Level 4 knights temporarily become level 5 knights during battle, and the attack power or defense power provided is far greater than those level 4 alchemical reinforcement arrays.

At this time, the Royal Navy's counterattack, in addition to the artillery of the same caliber, also has knights' throwing weapons. Those weapons were glowing with a hazy white light, and they smashed into the coalition ships at a very fast speed. Their power was much stronger than the level 4 alchemical shells.

Rudolf found in his observation that the main force of the war was those level 4 apostles. Each apostle will undergo a qualitative change when promoted to level 5, and the difficulty of promotion will increase sharply, which makes the number of level 5 apostles very scarce.

The third tactic of the Royal Navy is their old business, boarding battle.

No matter what kind of attack, long heavy artillery or throwing weapons, it is a means of consumption in the early stage for the knight. The strongest ability of the knight is still charging and getting close. Being close to the knight is a nightmare for any apostle.

What Rudolf is waiting for is the charge of the Royal Navy. As long as the Royal Navy does not charge, he will not take action.

Staying beside the battlefield full of gunfire, time passed very slowly. Rudolf observed for a long time and suddenly said: "Cooper! Next, it depends on you!"

"Depend on me?" Cooper looked at Rudolf in disbelief. He didn't react. When did I, Cooper, become the protagonist?

Cooper said: "The bodies are very heavy and can't float on the sea. I want to help, but what should I do?"

"What they want is that your body can't float, and they can move on the seabed."

Cooper didn't understand. After listening carefully to Rudolf's plan, he thought Rudolf was a lunatic.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Rudolf suddenly became nervous: "Here they come!"

At this time, the formation of the Alchemy Alliance's ships was finally no longer stable and became loose.

As the knight's throwing weapons tore through the protective array of the two coalition ships, the artillery that followed set the two ships on fire, and the formation of the coalition was blocked, and a gap that could not be blocked in a short time appeared.

Opportunities always flash by, and the commander of the Royal Navy issued a charge order.

A total of 9 Royal Navy ships formed a cone formation, broke away from the defensive sea area, and rushed forward.

For a while, the attack and defense at the gap attracted everyone's attention.

When the raiding fleet rushed to the center of both sides, Rudolf shouted in a low voice: "It's our turn!"

Rudolf was the first to leave the reef and fly to the sea.

The Alchemy Alliance deliberately left one-third of the sea empty, wanting the Royal Navy to escape from here and let the Royal Navy give up its will to resist. Now Rudolf needs to cross the one-third of the sea area outside the port of Khodor.

The Iron Bat Wings took him flying close to the sea surface. In the undulating waves, Rudolf's figure only appeared in the trough of the waves, which was extremely hidden.

His target was the alchemical ship closest to the edge. The Alchemical Alliance has three main battleships, 60 guns, 80 guns and 120 guns. This ship is relatively small in size, and is a 60-gun ship.

The Alchemical Alliance has scouts and words, and they immediately discovered the heretics who broke into the battlefield.

The three ships closest to the edge received an order: "An unknown high-level apostle appeared at 8 o'clock in the south! Quickly eliminate the unexpected situation!"
