Volume 3 Blood and Fire Chapter 223 Naval Battle (1)
Since encountering the patrol ship of the Kingdom of Hydra and the sea monster Kraken, in order to ensure the safety of the route and everyone, Ekaterina summoned dozens of water elves on the endless sea to conduct reconnaissance.
The summoned water spirit can only last for half a day, and will lose its sensitivity after the distance exceeds twenty nautical miles. However, for the sea area full of dense fog that the "Pearl Goddess" is sailing in, the lookout hand of the "Pearl Goddess" can only observe.
to a distance of less than ten nautical miles.
Therefore, the detection distance of twenty nautical miles becomes crucial.
Summoning such a large number of water elves is also very consuming of magic power, but the vision and perception of water elves are limited, and the small number cannot serve as an early warning, so Yekaterina had to deploy most of the water elves in
ahead.
Suddenly, the image of seven giant battleships appeared in the sight from the water elf.
Seven giant ships are lined up in a row, which is a standard battle formation for maritime fleet battles.
The Hydra flag of the Kingdom of Hydra hangs above it.
This fleet is unprecedentedly powerful in terms of scale and combat power. The giant ships, which are hundreds of meters long, are like ancient beasts floating on the sea. Even if they are far apart, they have a terrifying sense of oppression.
Still coming.
Through the vision of the water elf, Ekaterina described the appearance of this fleet to Captain Martin because she did not understand the types and uses of battleships. Captain Martin immediately exclaimed: "Sail cruiser!"

"There is one ship among them that is much taller than the other six, and its sails are also dark blue." Ekaterina continued to inform Captain Martin about the specific appearance of the fleet in the distance.
"Haha, we are so lucky, we actually have a magic sail battleship..." Captain Martin was already astonished beyond measure at this moment.
"Then what should we do? Let's avoid this route. After all, we are faster." Elos asked worriedly.
"That's all. If we hit this Hydra fleet head-on, the ballista on the sail cruiser alone will be enough to send us to the bottom of the sea without the main guns." After Captain Martin said this, he shouted loudly:
"Everyone, adjust the sails, full port rudder..."
Following Captain Martin's order, all the sailors on the ship got busy adjusting the sails.
At the same time, with Yekaterina slightly releasing a small amount of wind spells, the "Pearl Goddess" quickly turned to the left in an attempt to avoid the fleet of the Kingdom of Hydera.
Captain Martin, who is familiar with the sea conditions, is also puzzled as to why the main fleet of the Kingdom of Hydera appears in this sea area, because this sea area is the territorial waters of the Xirel Empire.
There must be sufficient reasons and strategic significance for the main fleet of the Kingdom of Hydra to appear here.
After the "Pearl Goddess" sailed at high speed for a while, everyone thought they were out of danger and relaxed.

But life is full of drama, and if nothing unexpected happens, something will happen.
Suddenly, wisps of sunlight fell down, evaporating the thick sea fog on the sea, and the originally dim sight immediately became clear.
The sea at the moment is calm and calm, which is the good weather that everyone has been longing for.
But the sudden good weather at this moment made everyone on the boat curse secretly: This damn weather, it won't be clear in the morning, and it won't be clear in the evening, but it suddenly cleared up at this critical moment of escape. What an unlucky mother to open the door for the unlucky one, and what an unlucky person it is to get home.
.
Now we can only pray that the speed of the "Pearl Goddess" will not attract the attention of the main fleet of the Kingdom of Hydra.
What's more, it's just a small smuggling ship, and it's not worth pursuing and attacking with this main fleet.
But reality always backfires. Soon, the "Pearl Goddess" was discovered by the main fleet of the Kingdom of Hydra twenty nautical miles away.
The magic sail battleships of the Kingdom of Hydra are all equipped with magic observation mirrors. During this period, the Endless Sea has been experiencing violent storms and violent waves.
Due to extremely poor visibility, the magic lookout has never been used.
Perhaps it was the calm after the hurricane, and suddenly the weather became clear without warning, which allowed the main fleet of the Kingdom of Hydra to discover the smuggling ship "Pearl Goddess" fleeing in the distance.
The "Pearl Goddess" looks like a fast cargo ship, and it sails very fast.
Originally, the main fleet of the Kingdom of Hydra had little interest in this small boat. After all, speed was not the strong point of large battleships such as battleships and cruisers, and it was not worth spending precious magic resources to chase this small boat.
Those are the tasks of those fast patrol ships.
However, although Captain Martin was a little scared, he did not panic and continued to direct the crew to maneuver the sails flexibly and try to make good use of the wind direction to maintain high speed.
He knew that his ship was really not worth the main fleet of the Kingdom of Hydra. I am afraid that the entire cargo of the ship combined was not worth as much as an arcane shell fired by the magic cannon on the magic sail battleship.
In fact, the commander and crew of the Hydra Kingdom's main fleet thought so too.
They are only responsible for blocking this sea area so that the Royal Navy of the Siril Empire cannot leave the port, so as to cover the mysterious actions of the Holy Empire.
Iloth called Nick and asked him to use the druid's spell-Eagle Eye to observe the magic sail battleship of the Kingdom of Hydra.
Because there must be a powerful mage on board this battleship, blocking all detection magic.
At the same time, the water elf arranged by Yekaterina can only be seen in outline, and the specific layout and armament on the battleship cannot be accurately observed.
However, the Druid's Eagle Vision enhances vision and does not count as spell detection, so he can clearly see the detailed appearance of the Magic Sail Battleship.
This magic sail battleship is huge, much larger than any battleship Iloth has seen in the past. It is simply like a moving maritime city.
Even a cruiser with a large displacement seems to be as short as a younger brother compared to it.
In this era where size determines power, such a giant ship must be extremely powerful, and it will be the king of naval battles.
And according to Captain Martin, there are nine such battleships in the Kingdom of Hydra.
With such strength, it is enough to cross the endless sea. I am afraid that only the High Elf Empire Navy back then could stabilize the Kingdom of Hydra.
A battleship of this size can easily install hundreds of magic heavy crossbows and carry thousands of elite warriors. It is no exaggeration to say that this fleet was enough to destroy a small principality hundreds of years ago.
There is a ten-meter-long thick gun barrel on the bow pointing forward. Just looking at the rough shape, it is indescribably powerful and domineering!
At the same time, the barrel was densely covered with a large number of magic runes, and it was still shining with a faint light intermittently.
Elos has no doubt about the power of this magic cannon. It may even be able to pierce through the legendary dragon with one blow.

At the same time, this battleship is extremely strong. It is made of dragon perches that are stronger than fine steel and has powerful magic circle protection. The ballistae of ordinary battleships alone cannot break through the protection of this battleship. At most, it can only hit a few
The hole comes out.
If you want to sink this battleship instantly, you will have to do it only if a demigod takes action.
In conventional operations in China, combat teams must be sent to attack the interior of the battleship using boarding battles and gang-hopping tactics to eliminate all the battleship's guarding forces.
But you must know that a magic sail battleship of this level has at least one saint or even legendary strongman on board. Ordinary soldiers will only die if they go aboard.
Eloise suppressed the shock in his heart, because the navy was an unfamiliar field to him.
Iroth constantly adjusted the focus of the Eagle Eye Technique, observing all the details of this fleet.
As the vision of the Eagle Eye continued to move, it finally settled on a flying flag of the Kingdom of Hydra. It was a flag with a dark gray background and a white Hydra head.
The white snake-head flag is covered with complicated golden threads, and each thread represents its owner's outstanding military exploits.
As the adopted son of Grand Duke Groth, although Iloth was not awarded any noble title, the education he received since childhood was the elite education of the great nobles. All the nobles and ancient family emblems and flags of the Toril continent are naturally compulsory.
class.
Elos recognized it at a glance. This flag was a white snake-headed flag that could only be used by powerful members of the royal family of the Kingdom of Hydra. Its holder was the third prince of the Kingdom of Hydra and one of the three major fleets of the Kingdom of Hydra.
Commander, Ingil Hydera.
