The flying Zealander roared forward against the wind, leaving the Aztlans on the two merchant ships behind it stunned.
"A miracle! There is no doubt that this is a miracle!"
Tesosomoc took the lead and knelt down. When Tezosoumoc knelt down, the Aztlan people also knelt down and knelt down on the boat. They were still trying hard to row the boat to move forward, but this time, the boat stopped moving.
, lazily basking in the sun and swaying with the waves on the sea. It's like taking a lunch break.
Amy looked back and saw that the merchant ship where the Aztlan people were sitting was getting farther and farther away, and shouted: "Your Majesty, those Aztlan people have not caught up!"
"It's normal that we haven't caught up! That merchant ship was rented from the merchants of Alemany. It was not made by the Pirate Kingdom. It was originally a bit slower, and now there is a headwind. How can we catch up with Lu if we can't be faster than them?"
Baker?”
"There is nothing we can do about the hull, so why not at least replace it with a jib? This way, their ship will be invisible!"
"Not everyone can use the spinnaker! It requires skills and manpower!" The pirate looked a little proud at the side, "We learned it for several days in the Tianfang Empire, and even if we installed it, those Aztlan people wouldn't be able to use it.
of!"
"Then we can't just get rid of them like this, right? Your Majesty, look, their ships are only as big as my thumb..."
"Amy! Which is more important, the Aztlan people or the cargo of my ten ships?"
"Huh? But...but..."
"Don't worry, they know the way by themselves! When we came here, we didn't show them the way, right?"
"Huh? I think we need them to lead the way..."
"There is a chart, what are you afraid of?"
Amy was convinced. Since it was written like this in the book and drawn like this on the map, there was a high probability that there would be no problem.
"Okay, don't be idle." Ella clapped her hands towards the other soldiers, "Take advantage of the moment to adjust our weapons and see if there is anything abnormal?"
The first test was the giant crossbow. Hundreds of soldiers stood next to the sixteen giant crossbows. Each giant crossbow required ten soldiers to work together to turn the winch to open and buckle the crossbow string. There was another
Specialized soldiers were responsible for setting up the crossbow bolts. As the firing order was given, the crossbow bolts roared out. It was easy to accurately judge the distance with the naked eye on the sea. Amy only saw the spear-like crossbow bolt getting farther and farther away.
It got smaller and smaller, and finally became a black dot the size of a grain of rice.
Reports came one after another:
"The No. 1 crossbow machine is operating normally!"
"The No. 2 crossbow machine is operating normally!"
"The No. 3 crossbow machine is operating normally!"
…
"Very good!" Ella clapped her hands with satisfaction, "Let's test the trebuchets again. They have been installed on the ship for a while, see if they can still operate normally?"
Compared with crossbows, the accuracy of trebuchets is much smaller. No matter how skilled the operator is, they cannot make the stone bullets hit the designated position accurately. But they are also more powerful. From the time they were created, their mission was not to be on the city wall.
Drilling holes is to smash the entire city wall. If the giant crossbow cannot effectively kill the dragon, then the trebuchet is the last trump card of Ella's fleet.
The stone bullets flew in a parabola into the distance. Each stone bullet caused the sea to tremble, causing huge splashes of water.
The reporting voice came again:
"The No. 1 trebuchet is operating normally!"
"Trebuchet No. 2 is operating normally!"
"Trebuchet No. 3 is operating normally!"
…
Although Ella had asked the soldiers to debug these weapons before going to sea and knew that there was a high probability that these weapons would have no problems, she still nodded with satisfaction after seeing the normal operation of these weapons.
"Next is the hot air balloon... Hot air balloons don't seem to be of any use to dragons,"
Hot air balloons are very useful to deal with ships on the sea. But hot air balloons can fly, and dragons can also fly, and hot air balloons can burst as soon as they are hit, but dragon scales cannot.
"In that case, let's try the hot air balloon." Ella waved her hand, "Test the ocean fire on the bow!"
"Ocean Fire?" Amy reminded Ella, "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that the bow of the ship is now my sculpture, and there is no Ocean Fire anymore!"
"Ocean Fire is our important weapon, how can we just remove it like this? Watch Amy, you will be surprised!"
Under Ella's order, a group of pirates rushed to the bow of the ship and began to warm up the Ocean Fire. Due to various factors such as safety, storage, price, etc., the Ocean Fire on the bow of the Flying Sealander did not
It uses the flammable and explosive Paracelsus type, which is still the old model made by Ella. The device needs to be preheated before launch.
"Well...the heating device is indeed still there."
But Amy looked left and right and couldn't see where the jet was.
"King of Sweden, the warm-up is complete!"
"Okay!" Ella waved her hand, "Launch!"
I saw a soldier stepping on a pedal, and the mouth of the statue of Amy on the bow suddenly opened, and a jet pipe protruded from the inside, and began to spit out flames. Because the jet pipe was hidden in the mouth of the sculpture,
Viewed from the front, it looks like the sculpture of Amy is opening its mouth and breathing fire.
"How's it going, Amy, are you surprised?"
"There is no surprise at all, but there is shock and anger!" Amy stamped the deck angrily and shouted, "Your Majesty, what did you do to my sculpture?"
"The chin was removed and made movable, then a hole was made in the back of the head and the jet pipe was inserted..."
"This is abuse! Abuse!"
"What's wrong? Fire-breathing sculptures are very rare. If you sell them, the price will increase a lot..."
"It sounds like some kind of monster to me! Besides, who would buy a sculpture with a hole in the back of the head!" Amy was about to burst into tears. "Are we going to fight a dragon? We haven't seen the dragon. I
His mouth keeps spitting fire, who is the evil dragon here??"
"Then what should we do?" Seeing that Amy was a little unhappy, Ella asked cautiously, "Change it to breathing fire from her belly button?"
"It's not a problem at all!"
Amy was disheartened and plunged into the carpentry room on the second floor. In the next few days, people only heard the sound of saws and hammers coming from inside, and they didn't know what was being done inside.
Even the specially equipped carpenter was kicked out by Amy. Three days later, Amy finally walked out, holding something like a wooden box in her hand.
"This is the mask I made for my sculpture! It can be separated left and right!" Amy said, "After you separate it, put it on the sculpture, and then close it, so others can't tell that it's me who breathes fire!"
"Gu...the fire of the ocean?"
"There are holes! There are holes for the eyes and mouth, so there's no problem at all!"
"It looks a bit like a bandit's mask." Ella shook her head vigorously, "I don't want to use this kind of thing as the bow of the Flying Zealander!"
"I don't want my statue to be seen breathing fire!"
Although Ella insisted on objecting, Amy still asked her personal guards to put the mask on the statue. The head of the bow statue of the Flying Zealander was placed in a wooden box.
This time it was Ella's turn to be disappointed. It wasn't until the fleet sailed to Ireland that her mood improved.
