Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 605: Duel
Call——
At the end of autumn, the sea breeze in the southeast wind blows.
Two huge fleets under pressure have already deployed their battles in this sea area that is the natural border between Falitis and Ilya. Only each other can fight against them, even if a brutal sea monster breaks in here, they will be torn to pieces without mercy.
This doomed war is a battle for the alliance to rebel, and it is also a **** battle for the founding of the "Ilya Republic". There is no room for either side to retreat.
For the Tulip Alliance, abandoning faith, betraying the alliance, massacring nobles, and subverting royal power are all heinous crimes. The alliance army will enter every city and every village, so that the rebellious bourgeois will understand what it is: the iron fist of the king's power.
For the bourgeoisie, all conspiracy and trickery are out of place at this time. Even if there is a true **** behind them, only the powerful coalition forces that are uprightly defeating the alliance can make them truly gain a foothold in this land.
Moreover, among the Tulip Islands countries that lack strategic depth, the most powerful is the navy as a sea barrier. As long as the navy decides the victory or defeat, the war can basically be over.
Strengths of both sides:
A total of forty-five battleships of Tier 4 and above on the coalition side, including the "Glory" and "Stormhorn" of the Kingdom of Falates, the "Royal Guard" of the Tyrolean Kingdom, the "Santa Ana" of the Tulip Duchy, and Par The "Prince of Asturias" in the Kingdom of Los Angeles and the "Nipton Poseidon" in the Kingdom of Thessalia are headed by six quasi-legendary warships.
On the side of the Ilya Republic, the original Royal Navy also has 36 battleships above Tier 4, and the three quasi-legendary ships are the "Grand Republic", "Freedom and Equality", and "Assets" which have been urgently renamed by the Constituent Assembly. Number".
There is also a larger number of three-masted fast boats headed by the quasi-legendary "Icon of Forever" under the command of the pirate king, and nearly one hundred three-masted fast boats, all of which are pirate raiders with black sails replaced.
In fact, during the two hundred years of voyage, naval battles of this scale may be rare.
Normally.
If a country invests money in a merchant ship, the merchant ship is actually "capital". As long as it can run a triangular trade, it will be at least 600% profit, and only a few rounds can make a lot of money. Pour out.
But if money is spent on warships, unless it is used for looting, it is difficult to produce any direct benefits.
Therefore, maintaining sea power is usually expensive, but it is very slow to produce utility.
As a result, the navy fleet is often used by the state as a tool for deterrence and prevention of war. The state often achieves political goals by mobilizing the navy or threatening to use the navy without launching a war.
For many marine economies, the chasing arms race is more attractive than direct war.
The key to the victory of this competitive model lies in the overall strength of the country, such as extraordinary power, navy, commerce, politics, talents, and industrial assets, which can avoid the destruction and loss caused by a real war.
In addition.
Any reliable maritime armed force needs a compatible maritime trade as its foundation. The navy must **** the merchant ships, and the taxes paid by the merchant ships will in turn be invested in the construction of the fleet.
No one is stupid enough to madly invest money to expand its armaments regardless of the actual situation and compete for the title of the world's number one navy.
They pay more attention to the establishment of sea power rather than pure naval power, so the naval power of various countries can basically be equated with overseas interests.
Hilius is like this, Falettis is like this, and Ilya, who is under siege at this time, is like this.
While the battleship fleet confronted, the quasi-legendary battleships of the "Alliance" and "Republic" opened up another battlefield. On the surface, it is six to four, and the situation is greatly beneficial to the alliance.
Ivan was standing in the command post of the stern tower of the "Cape Stormwind", and some cool sea breeze was already blowing his great cloak hunting.
Behind him, apart from his sister Anita, First Mate Boris, Nautical Captain Milan, Sailor Captain Gary, Sailing Captain Vader, New Warrant Officer Fleck and other officers each perform their duties.
A battleship with five extraordinary officers, the lineup has been luxurious enough to the point of luxury, but for Aiwen who can mass produce extraordinary, it is nothing at all.
There are also three mysterious figures in gray robes and hoods, guarding Anita's side like bodyguards.
Anita, carrying the giant dragon sword, no longer wears a golden mask, her vigorous face is matched with magnificent emerald-colored long hair, and her tall figure is sassy and beautiful.
Between the New World and the alliance high-levels, the "Emerald Light", one of the golden sea kings who is famous in all ocean countries, is the sister of Irving Garriott, and it has long been no secret.
The two brothers and siblings are no longer the little people who needed to carefully hide themselves in the past to avoid being discovered by the enemy, and they have the confidence to live in the sun.
And today, ten years later, we have to make a break with the culprit of the "Black Rock Town" Blood and Fire Night!
Because the city of Hereford, behind the Republic Fleet on the opposite side, is the residence of the Egret Chamber of Commerce and the place where Wright made his fortune, and even the "Mind Network" has captured the figures of him and Jerome head-on.
Obviously, in this battle that determines their own destiny, they can't sit still on the Diaoyutai.
With Aiwen’s current status, he is already qualified to read most of the secret information of the king. At present, the total tonnage of the Ilya naval battleship is 65 (thousand tons). At present, this fleet is probably all the power they control. Of the collection.
So, this battle will never be protracted, and Ilya’s national fortune will be determined in one battle.
Suddenly, a thief sounded in Irvine's ear:
"Aven, hehehe..."
As usual, the "Mind Network" has enveloped the entire fleet, and the main officers have been given secondary communication permissions, and they were even allowed to communicate with each other in private before the war.
Among the six quasi-legendary battleships, the right side of "Cape Storm" is the flagship of the fleet, and the left side is the "Royal Guard" of his old friend Taylor Kingdom.
"Bartley, the war is approaching, what are you doing again?"
I heard that it was Bertram Solomon's voice, and Ivan didn't have a good air. If it weren't for the Kingdom of Tyro to be the half-financer of this large-scale military operation, he wouldn't want to pay attention to this guy with impure motives and other intentions.
The Dutch bank group, which has experienced a huge loss, faced the big enemy of Huggins, of course, it was impossible to let go of the opportunity for revenge. After learning about this action, they supported Tyro and the Alliance with a large amount of military expenditure.
But the alliance can faintly feel the deep wait-and-see mentality hidden in the Netherlands. After all, if you want to talk about bourgeois, who can compare to them in the entire human civilization? If it weren't for Huggins, it would be on the opposite side. It would be unclear who these big bankers ultimately chose to help.
"Everyone is good friends. I haven't seen you for three years. Can't you talk about the old when you are fine? Miss Anita, do you think? That... I don't know if I have the honor to invite you to join me after this battle. How about dinner?
Ilya’s grilled sardines, paella, Iranian-style roast suckling pig, and smoked ham are all famous products. "
This noble young man with his own gluttonous attributes is obviously a drunkard who doesn't want to drink. With the excuse of Irving, a word was drawn to Anita before he finished speaking.
Obviously, even after a few years, she still remembers the powerful female knight who once saved herself from the large sea monster "Iron Armored Seahorse". When she learned that this was Aiwen's sister, she jumped three feet tall.
Anyway, this guy who feels good about himself, in his heart, feels that among all the unmarried people here, there is no one who can compare to himself except for his family, ability, and sincerity.
Solomon, who was standing on the stern next door, glanced diagonally. It was the contempt of the pirate king, and he faintly spit out: "I am not interested, men will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword."
When Anita returned to the New World to take over the "Dragon Cavalry", she already had the strength equivalent to Tier 3 senior. Now it has finally reached the level of senior dragon veins, and its attributes are almost no less inferior to the third-order pinnacle of normal humans.
In addition to the activation of the skin and the upper sea emperor dragon, there is no problem even if you touch the fourth-order in a short time.
Three years later, under the training of the famous Solomon family of thousand-year-old wizards, the now thirty-one-year-old Bertram Solomon has the strength of a peak official wizard, but he still doesn't look enough in front of Anita.
"Miss Anita, I..."
Not reconciled, I want to work harder.
Woohoo...
The wind is violent.
A thunderous shout suddenly sounded over this sea area:
"The Ghoul Pickman is here to lead the death!"
A golden electric light in the "Alliance Fleet" soared into the sky, and the titled monster "Sneerful Tunnel Forager" Pickman in the "Republic Fleet" also soared into the sky without showing weakness.
Boom...
Immediately, there was fluttering frost and snow falling in the sky accompanied by billowing thunder.
The battle of the fourth-order transcendents is enough to affect the celestial phenomenon.
In the Tulip Alliance, the Kingdom of Falates, currently ranked number one, has Kingdom Guardian: "Glory of Glory" Lionheart, "Sword Saint of Rose" Ilvidi; Kingdom of Tyrol, ranked second, has "Shan" "Thunder Halberd" Augustus;
****There is no exclusive titled knight in the Tulip Principality (Ecclesiastical State); Palos has the "Hand of God" Grover, and he has both the founder of Palos' Fourth Dynasty and the Knights of the Church. An identity; the kingdom of Thessaly has "wrestling with the bear" Antonio.
Of course, all the titled knights of the Tulip Kingdoms who rely on the potion·Seven Gods Ladder to advance are essentially subordinate to the goddess, which is a manifestation of his mortal dominance.
In addition.
Except for Ilya's "Raging Waves", there are five remaining kingdoms guarding. Although "Brilliant Glory" and "Wrestle with the Bear" are much younger than "Raging Sea Tide", they are also contemporary figures, and they are no longer suitable for leaving the capital to start a high-intensity battle.
Because the titled knight as the pinnacle power is related to the national foundation of the countries, it can also be said that the current situation of the Tulip League is that the defense is more than aggressive. Even if the number of titles is similar to that of Hilius, it is still at an absolute disadvantage.
In the sky, at the same time the two peak combat powers were fighting.
The conventional fleets of the two sides have begun to approach slowly. The main fleet on the Republic side uses conventional line tactics, while a large number of three-masted fast boats are gathered in two sections, trying to make use of the pirate's expertise to take advantage of the random connection.
Major General Demon Brand, as the commander of the fleet, simultaneously issued orders to the entire fleet:
"Command: The entire fleet rushes in two columns and cuts them off!"
At the same time.
As the flagship, the "Glory" suddenly shined brightly. The countless runes carved on the hull and sails became one piece. A huge golden ball of light formed on the spear-shaped head of the ship. The sunlight in a sea area is dark.
Superior Ability·Sun Spear
A beam of light turned into a shining sun spear, carrying the heat that seemed to boil the sea, and flew towards the "Icon of Everlasting", which is the flagship of the Republic fleet.
This blow is definitely not a weak one even in a true legendary battleship, but the cooling time is too long and the limit is too big, and the solar energy accumulated for half a month in the midsummer can only be activated once.
Huggins, wearing a marshal's uniform, stood on the back of the building and gave a wanton smile~IndoMTL.com~ gently raised his hand.
Wow...
A huge dark blue battleship equivalent to a first-class ship suddenly smashed the sea surface, and huge blisters popped out from the bottom of the sea, blocking the front of the "Icon of Forever".
Call——
Silentlessly, the hull seemed to be vaporized, and a large hole several meters in diameter was opened directly at the waterline, and the turbulent sea water poured in.
But don't wait for everyone in the Alliance to come back to their senses.
As the sea water pours into the hull of the ship, it has begun to recover quickly. This is the characteristic of the legendary battleship Sea Soul-"the same quality of ocean current."
"You did not bring the legendary battleship, you are doomed! Huh?"
Huggins was about to control the Sea Soul to launch a counterattack, and suddenly a butterfly that seemed to be made of emeralds slipped quietly from the corner of his eyes.
Then the second, the third...
