Hua Hua Hua

The waves were split by the pointed bow, and then gathered again at the stern. The "Storm Horn", which had completely completed outfitting, finally set sail again and set sail again.

Although from the outside, this fourth-level ship has almost no changes.

But only the crew members who served on this ship can deeply understand that even without the temporarily untested bow statue, this battleship is completely different from the past!

With Aiwen's record of killing a third-level totem god and bringing back the opponent's body, which detonated like a bomb among the top brass of the garrison, his title of brigadier general was fully confirmed.

He is no longer the so-called "naval star" who represents the new generation of the navy.

Rather, he is a senior officer of the kingdom who has both military exploits and strength and can legitimately stand on equal footing with most of them! He is also a member of the ruling class of this country!

Moreover, he is valued by the Crown Prince and even Her Majesty the Queen, has a special mission, and is in the limelight with a bright future.

It is almost foreseeable that when Her Royal Highness Crown Prince Levina succeeds to the throne, this young commodore will surely become one of the top forces in the Kingdom's navy in the future.

Even many of them, who have daughters and nieces at home, have begun to think about how they can find ways to get closer to each other.

so.

When Irvine proposed replacing the shipboard artillery for the ship "Cape of Storms", the senior military officials headed by Lieutenant General Gustav agreed without hesitation.

And during the execution of the order, all departments had the green light and everything went smoothly.

Although the human spirits in the middle class may not have actually sailed a ship, they are all very skilled at steering according to the wind. Even if they have a large number of heavy artillery that can only be equipped on third-level ships, they are all ready at the first time.

At this point, in terms of hardware.

Originally a fourth-tier battleship, the "Stormhorn" had a total of eighteen 24-pounder guns, twenty 12-pounder guns, 10 9-pounder guns, and two 6-pounder cannons.

Now it has been updated. After the second outfit, it became eighteen 32-pound guns, twenty 18-pound guns, and two 6-pound cannons.

The total projected mass has increased from the original 774 pounds to 1268 pounds, which has reached 70% of the total projected mass of the 74-gun third-class ship. The overall firepower has undergone a qualitative change.

Moreover, this level has not reached the stress strength limit of this iron-ribbed wooden hull battleship, and it still has sufficient surplus load.

In fact, for a wizard, the sails of this battleship can also be enchanted accordingly. However, the sails made of canvas are a consumable item, and the cost-effectiveness of enchantment is not high.

Unless some extraordinary materials are used, such as a suitable sea monster skin, etc., for permanent enchantment and solidification.

However, that may not be possible until you actually build your own legendary battleship.

Take a ride on the brand new "Stormhorn".

After getting through the initial excitement period, Milan looked at the vast sea and felt that it was really soulless to do a sea trial in the air.

"Since we are going to conduct a sea trial, we should find a target for the test, right?"

"Don't be anxious, isn't the target coming soon?"

Ai Wen just finished speaking.

flutter

The herald Bess, who was accompanying the ship, had already flown onto the lower yard of the mainmast.

"Report to Commander, a pirate ship not owned by us has been found 25 nautical miles away at three o'clock!"

With an investigation network covering almost the entire Golden Sea, almost no movement can be hidden from Bess's eyes and ears.

Moreover, after taking up the job as a wizard apprentice, as the owl's witchcraft ability and mental strength improved, its information processing ability was also greatly enhanced.

"Command, full right rudder, full speed forward!"

"As ordered, full helm to the right!"

Now the "Cape of Storms" has a new helmsman named Thomas, who is thirty-three years old and is very young and experienced.

Repeating the captain's order loudly, Thomas felt that his blood had almost started to burn to be able to pilot such a battleship in his lifetime.

Snapped

At the same time, Alvin had already lightly snapped his fingers.

A sea-blue halo exploded on the [Ship Portrait·Storm Cape] and spread to the entire battleship instantly.

Hua Hua Hua

Immediately afterwards, amid a pleasant sound of waves, a translucent water film rose from the bottom of the boat and spread close to the deck. The white waves that suddenly rose behind the stern of the boat instantly turned into the shape of a fish tail.

It was as if there was a huge white shark made of water, using its back to gently hold up the "Storm Horn", swinging its giant tail and rushing towards the water at high speed.

Ability: [Shark Cruise].

The great white shark, also known as the mako, belongs to the mako family and is the fastest swimming shark in the sea. Even an ordinary individual can reach a speed of 56 kilometers per hour, which is 30 knots!

Although "Shark Cruise" cannot allow the huge "Storm Horn" to directly obtain that speed, it can also attach a streamlined water film outside the hull, changing the aspect ratio of the battleship in disguise and stirring up the water flow.

Provides extra power.

Allowing the "Storm Horn" to reach its ultimate speed of 20-22 knots in a short period of time!

And because the great white shark never stops swimming, it can reach a speed of 6 knots even in low-power sailing that can be maintained all day long.

Compared with the "Monsoon Goddess", there is no need to look at God's face at all. This is the real boating that does not rely on oars, but relies entirely on the waves.

Now.

The two strongest and fastest battleships in Ivan's hands, the heavily armored cruiser "Venus" is a representative of peak shipbuilding technology, while the fourth-level battleship "Storm Horn" is the condensation of extraordinary abilities.

"Cheers! Celebrating that our total looted wealth ranks first in the group."

"Cheers! Congratulations to the captain, you have made great contributions to the Pirate King and will be promoted to deputy captain soon."

"Cheers! Although there are five or six deputy captains, if we can successfully establish the country in the future, at least one will be awarded the title of general! 'Execution Knife' General Kidd!"

There was a grand celebration party going on on the pirate ship, and barrels of rum were brought out and piled on the deck. This was the Pirate King's reward for their outstanding performance during this period.

All the pirates are drinking to their heart's content, for the reward of the Pirate King, and for the bright future after the recruitment of the Kingdom of Cyrus!

There was a sinister-looking middle-aged man in black at the head, with an uncontrollable smile on his face. He stood up with a wine glass and made a promise to his pirate cadres:

"Hahaha, no matter where I sit, Kidd, I will never forget my brothers! Let's have a good drink today, cheers!"

"Long live the captain!"

""

Suddenly, Kidd, who was still very sober even though he had drunk a lot, saw a small dot suddenly appear on the sea in the distance, and then quickly grew in size.

"Hey, what is that? So fast!"

Dang! Dang! Dang!

At the same time, on the observation deck of the mast, the lookout, who was also holding a bottle of rum, also tried his best to sound the alarm.

By the time the crew members, who had drunk a lot, reacted and sped away, it was already too late.

In fact, it makes no difference whether you drink or not.

The "Storm Horn" was at full speed, and it only took more than an hour to circle the black-sailed pirate ship within the range of our own artillery.

"No need to warn, direct attack, gunner commander is ready!"

"All gun crews, solid rounds, load!"

Under the training of gunnery expert Boris, the "Storm Horn" already has an extremely skilled artillery team, no less than any elite navy.

"Fire!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the orange-red cannon flames, the scorching cannonballs with a total mass of 639 pounds on one side were like locusts, roaring towards the pirate ship that had already turned around but could not escape at all.

[Artillery Command Knife·Artillery Ultimate]: It can bring out 200% of the range, accuracy and power of ship-borne artillery.

Even compared with an ordinary battleship, a cruiser below level four, a pirate ship will only be as powerless as an ordinary boxing enthusiast facing a heavyweight boxer. At this time, the "Storm Horn" is a hand-held

A knight in full armor with a steel sword and a war horse!

What is given to them is not "powerlessness", but "despair"!

With just one salvo, this powerful three-masted pirate ship was already riddled with holes and was wailing all over the place.

The pirates on the ship have been directly deceived by this wave of justice from heaven, and the soul torture of "who am I" and "where am I" is constantly echoing in the hearts of the few survivors.

"Command, turn the ship around and charge me forward!"

"Yes! Your Excellency, Captain!"

With the cooperation of Captain Wade and helmsman Thomas, the "Storm Cape" made a very small arc on the sea, and then pointed the bow at the pirate ship that had lost power.

This shows the current excellent maneuverability of this battleship.

Snapped

After a snap of fingers.

[Ship Portrait·Storm Cape] exploded with a second sea-blue halo.

Huhuhu

The roaring whirlwind piled up and gathered in front of the "Storm Horn", clinging to the water, which is the position near the waterline of a normal ship.

Then it slowly converged into a collision angle composed of whirlwind and rapids. At the same time, a roaring cyclone barrier was formed around the ship's hull, and the ship's sails immediately became full.

Ability: [Unicorn Shark].

Amidst the harsh buzzing, the entire battleship seemed to be carrying a huge drill and accelerated again.

Then, with irresistible power, it crashed through the hull of the pirate ship from near the waterline, and then easily tore the entire pirate ship in half.

Boom!!!

As long as they were within two meters of the collision angle, both shipboards and human bodies were easily shattered by the force of the whirlwind and rapids, and even hard iron cannons were twisted and deformed before being blown hundreds of meters away.

Bang bang bang

Fall into the sea.

When the "Stormhorn" passed between the two mutilated halves of the pirate ship, there was no living person on board.

This is the strongest single-target attack skill, and it is also one of the remaining powers from the totem god Orvig.

Coupled with the high-speed charging warship, almost no wooden hull can withstand it.

In other words, even if what stands in front of the "Cape of Storms" is a first-class ship with a hull exceeding one meter, there will be no exception in the outcome.

However, the price is also high.

After being activated once, the cooldown of this ability often reaches half a month, because it mainly relies on Ovig's remaining power. During this period, even if the external gem is replaced, it cannot be restarted.

Woo woo woo

The whirlwind is whimpering.

The "Stormhorn" continued forward until the wreckage behind it could no longer be seen. All the crew members were still shocked by the power of the ship's prow statue, and could not recover for a long time.

After a while.

Ivan, who was also a little absent-minded, finally remembered to turn off this ability and coughed lightly to hide his excitement:

"Ahem, by the way, have you seen clearly which pirate group it is?"

The officers behind him also came to their senses.

"That ship seems to be one of Bradley the Oathbreaker's men."

"Oh, that doesn't matter. But, taking off the military uniform to rob merchant ships, and putting on the military uniform to fight pirates feels really good!"

The officers on the ship nodded their heads in agreement.

"Not bad!."

Moreover, in the future, just make sure you are standing on the "Storm Horn" when fighting, and then prepare to welcome the fruits of victory with ease and joy.

Although it is a cruel dish, there is no suspense, but it is refreshing enough!

Even before using the last conventional ability of the ship's bow statue, a three-masted pirate ship that was definitely not weak among pirates and was almost the same as a fifth-level ship had been eliminated.

This actual sea trial is enough to verify the strength of the ship's bow and the "Storm Horn".

Because of the dual authority of the sea shark Oweg's wind and water, three abilities were finally solidified on the bow of the ship, [Shark Cruise], [Solo Shark] and [Scythe Aura], and only one of them can be activated at the same time.

The ability that I couldn't use in the end was [Sark Aura].

Effect: All attributes of shark species are increased by 20%, time limit is 30 minutes per day, effective within a radius of 100 meters.

Maybe, to others, it's just a free gift.

But for Ivan's crew members who are equipped with "activated shark skin", it is simply a match made in heaven.

As long as they wear "activated shark skin" and add this 20% increase, almost all members can reach the peak of the apprenticeship and become truly invincible in close combat, which is already a strategic ability.

The most important thing is that it is effective below the third level, which means that even extraordinary level officers can still get an increase by wearing demonized creature level shark skin.

Therefore, from now on, the crew of the "Stormhorn" will only have one source of "activated animal skins", and that is sharks!

However, there are more than 500 species of sharks recorded by humans alone. Even if they are limited to this one species, it is enough for Alvin to choose carefully.

On the day when Oweger was killed, the two demonized sharks captured were put to use, which was gratifying.

"Switch the ship's portrait!"

Click click click

As the gears of the bow floor lifting device rotate, the "Storm Horn" slowly lowers and the "Monsoon Goddess" slowly rises.

The new prow image has many advantages, but it is better at short-term bursts. The two prow images are used in rotation to form a complement, even with the quasi-legendary "Red Maple" of Cyrus, which is best at speed.

.

Coupled with the sturdy hull of the iron-ribbed wooden shell, powerful firepower and [Ocean Secret Artillery Command Knife!]

Nowadays, the "Stormhorn" is enough to crush any conventional battleship, and is fully qualified to be called a quasi-legendary battleship!

Standing on the poop, Ivan waved his right hand vigorously and said to the officers and soldiers on his ship:

"So, everyone can cheer!"

"Long live the Stormhorn!"

"Long live your Excellency, Captain!"
Chapter completed!
