After the military ceremony and entering the palace, the appetizers have been served, and naturally it is the turn of the main course.
When the keel boat that penetrated the sea of clouds slowly sailed in, what followed was dark clouds and mist and the shock and disbelief of the world.
The huge bone boat is not surrounded by dark clouds, but by pure magic power derived from death. It is completely different from the Northern Lights, which appears to be a mechanical creation. The black mist and bones condensed by the power of death undoubtedly prove its identity.
——Undead Battleship.
The skeletal hull and the sails with dark magic are both important features of the undead warship and the ghost ship.
Unlike the Northern Lights, which has already taken shape and only uses the undead system as an enhancement and control system, the Giant Gate uses similar design and technology to the Northern Lights. However, if it encounters a place where the industrial and technical levels are insufficient, it will use undead magic.
to replace.
Is there any special alloy suitable for aerospace ships? Then use keel, which is strong and durable and has excellent output of undead magic. Although the appearance is a bit scary, doesn’t the white keel also have a special beauty... Although most mortals
How can anyone appreciate it.
Can’t we build the magic pool and mage tower of the floating ship? In fact, the ghost tower and soul tower are also good, but there are too many ghosts, and the magic generated is exclusive to the undead system, and it is also a fatal negative energy attack on living people...
But the Giant Gate is powered by undead magic. If the living crew cannot use it, then use the undead crew.
The smoke and flames emitted by the power source are black? Even the sky passing by is dyed black? That's right. How can a warship driven by undead magic emit other colors? As for the ghost sails on the deck directly facing it
The ghosts blowing on it... It's too normal, it's just a convention used by ghost ships to speed up.
It comes with a corrosive field and a fear aura? It is already an undead warship. It also uses the keel material. It is normal to activate the two talents. It is good if it does not come with Dragon Power. At least it can be considered a positive effect, and there will be bonuses on the battlefield.
.
Perhaps, in the eyes of ordinary people, the only difference between this Giant Gate and the legendary ghost ship among sailors is that this ship is made of higher quality materials and can fly.
Under someone's bad taste, the completed form of the Jumon resembles a flying giant bone dragon. It also emphasizes the feeling of a ferocious beast, fearing that it doesn't look like the Demon King's vehicle.
At this time, the hundreds of meters long bone dragon battleship covered the sky, and a dark wind came. The dark clouds were thick. When this giant beast really appeared in front of the world, it brought not only shock, but also surprise.
Fear and shock.
In particular, the reaction from the guests of the Holy Temple Church was even stronger. They had long regarded the undead as their natural enemies. Those with swords immediately drew their swords, and those with magical skills raised their staffs. Even Estrada himself touched his own.
Warhammer. Thoughtful.
"This is the second ship of the Beidou Fleet, the Jumen. Everyone recognizes its companion ship the Northern Lights. However, our industrial foundation in Donglan is relatively poor, so we used some other tricks to make up for the deficiencies."
"...You evil necromancers..."
The roar of an unbearable paladin was suppressed by his colleagues. Obviously, this was not the time to fall out, but the faces of the priests and paladin were all ashen. This extremely evil undead creation, obviously
Their bottom line has been touched.
In fact, if the Innocence City hadn't constantly "emphasized" the harmlessness of these high-level undead, and if the Cardinal hadn't repeatedly emphasized the importance of this operation, disputes and even battles would have occurred long ago.
"snort."
But what I want is this kind of effect. I have long been unhappy with the Holy Church. At this time, since it is obviously not suitable to fall out, I will ignore it for the time being.
If there is only one Northern Lights, especially if there are rumors from some channels that the origin of this battleship is not legitimate, when countries hesitate, they cannot do business. And after I showed the Giant Gate, don't look at it.
These guys are so disgusted with us now. As long as we really prove that we are capable of manufacturing medium and large warships, we will be flooded with orders.
"Although we are not yet mature in the technology of this kind of large warships and must use some substitutes, we have already mastered the small ones. As you can see, those small aerostats with snow-white coating are our most advanced 'Snow Eagle'
Type' gunboat."
The hatch of the Jumen was opened, and new-type Snow Eagle gunboats flew out and began to hover in the sky, causing waves of exclamations.
Their hulls were painted white, and only the bows were painted with the white flying eagle logo.
Time is too short, there are not enough technicians, and the technology cannot be fully digested. The only difference between this Snow Eagle gunboat and the Oran Vulture assault ship is probably the shell and paint. But to me, the most regrettable thing is that
But the naming of my Yukikaze type was rejected because it "sounded like a curse of bad luck".
"The Snow Eagle gunboat has a regular operating crew of four, driver, gunner, commander, and correspondent. It can be adjusted according to the actual situation, such as adding a gunner or a mage position, and the combat lasts for sixteen hours. At the auction, we
Two Snow Eagle-type gunboats will be auctioned. After that, orders will also be accepted, but because we need to purchase various rare minerals, not only do we have to pay a 70% deposit first, but the delivery will also be postponed based on the actual situation."
Not only is it delayed, after solving many requirements such as materials and production processes, priority must be given to satisfying orders from our own country and the various alliance countries. Even if everything goes well, the first batch of gunboats will not be sold within a year or two, and by the time
By then, my Beidou battleship group should have been prepared.
And a deposit of more than 70%... With a deposit of 70% of the auction price, it is not a minority. If we accept orders from dozens of countries at the same time, even if we do nothing next year, Donglan will have a food gap in the past few years.
No need to worry anymore.
But it seems that everyone's enthusiasm is rising, and some people unexpectedly express their dissatisfaction directly.
"Hmph, what's so great, isn't it the ability to fly? In front of our Blade of Holy Light, those small boats are nothing."
Avella said with an unhappy face. It seemed that the floating battleship was nothing in front of her, but I knew that what she said was indeed the truth. The Blade of Holy Light has a special team, all of which are holy knights of angel blood.
In front of high-level Paladins with the ability to fly, these small boats are nothing. Even if you take a step back, in front of Paladins above the Holy level, these small aerostats are just targets.
But showing off at an inappropriate time can easily attract hostile looks. I didn’t pay attention to it. Others looked at this silly girl with blank eyes, but the meaning of the unspoken words was very obvious: "Your church family has a great cause, and a strong person like
Yun, you don’t value air battleships. But others don’t have your capabilities.”
Avella seemed to want to say something else, but the large shadow that suddenly fell in the sky made her shut up directly, or, it should be said that she was so frightened that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.
There were thirteen dragons, including eight red dragons and five black dragons. Although most of them were young dragons with relatively low qualifications, in modern times when dragon knights have become an ultra-rare profession, the number of dragons operating in groups was so great.
Not seen for a hundred years is enough to shock the world.
"I have a good relationship with the new dragon queen in the underground world. She rented these dragons to me. Although the rent is incredibly expensive, it is indeed a good match with our battleship, isn't it?"
This is already a naked show off and display of force. No matter how powerful your angel team is, can you try it with the dragons? Only a giant battleship under the protection of an adult dragon can exert its most important power. On the other hand, there are
With a giant floating battleship as a good combat platform, the Dragon Clan can also exert its strongest combat power.
Most of the gem dragons and color dragons on the surface divide their own territories, and the relationship between them is very loose. They have no natural enemies. The "dragon-slaying warriors" are just like fools most of the time. There are only dragons in the underground world.
The city has become the home and backbone of the Dragon Clan in an underground world filled with powerful people, so it still has such a strong appeal.
Unlike the underground world where flight capabilities are limited, the giant dragons on the surface come and go without a trace. If they don't want their capital to be attacked by terrorists every three days, even a super empire would not dare to offend the dragon clan.
Of course, it would undoubtedly be detrimental to the "dignity of the dragon clan" to allow the dragon clan, or even just young dragons, to obey human orders. Even Xiaohong, who was in power at this time, had put in a lot of effort and even made many concessions in other aspects.
, it becomes possible to "rent" talents.
And it was the emergence of the Dragon Clan that made all the representatives give up the idea of obtaining aerospace craft technology in other ways.
"...Is this the legendary Roland? He actually has a connection with the Dragon Queen, and is able to get the Dragon Clan to work for him. It seems that coercion and pressure are unlikely to achieve good results."
If you want to be a high-quality arms dealer, in addition to being able to get good goods, perhaps more importantly, you must have a background and strength that is not afraid of taking advantage of others.
At this time, when the threat of force becomes undesirable, naturally only real money can be purchased.
Perhaps it is just an aerostat, and even if the technology for its practical use cannot be analyzed, strategic capabilities such as long-term reconnaissance and escorting important personnel are priceless.
The background was still the performance of the airship, but everyone's faces turned pale, and the aloof and unruly dragons were not very obedient even under the driving of the Dragon Queen. They were stared at under the fussing gaze of mortals.
Unhappy, after two rounds of tour, he left first.
But the atmosphere has been heated up.
"How long is the delay you mentioned? Can the delivery be delivered within three years? Can you accept a deposit?"
"Considering the relationship between our two countries, can we increase the order? We can provide various raw materials that your country needs at the best price."
"Your Highness, this seems to conflict with our private agreement. If you need gold coins, our Oran Empire..."
Many preferential terms were offered to them, and the bait was substantial enough. They were willing to pay anything to buy the warship.
"...Excuse me, can you accept a higher-level order? For example, the giant door above. We in San Antonio are willing to exchange technology of the same level..."
Some people are even eyeing the Jumen account, but obviously, this directly touches the bottom line of some people.
"Essorod! How dare you touch the realm of the undead!"
This time, it was Cardinal Soros's turn to roar, but San Antonio, who had already obtained first-hand combat information about the Northern Lights in Red Maple City, how could he give up this kind of suppression just because of the pressure of a bishop?
National weapon.
"Bishop Soros, you misunderstood. What we are looking for is just large battleships. Since you have any objections, let's give up for now."
Even if they said they gave up, there was no obvious tit-for-tat in terms of face, but judging from the fiery eyes, they had no intention of giving up at all. They probably just refused to reject each other's face for the time being and moved from the front to the back.
The senior leaders of the Holy Church naturally saw the duplicity of the representatives, but what could they do? It is the basic rule of the Church of the Gods not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, but watching the spread of undead technology like this is undoubtedly a violation of the teachings of the Holy Light.
Blasphemy.
But since even the True God Sleepless Man has acknowledged the undead here, it is absolutely unacceptable to use this reason to stir up trouble.
"Roland! The deception you deceived me the day before yesterday was undoubtedly an insult. In order to protect my personal glory, I challenge you to a duel! If you lose, give up spreading such evil things to the outside world."
The white-winged angel hybrid stood up and planned to use this as an excuse to challenge me. Among nobles, there are many fights over inexplicable honors and trivial matters. Those who do not accept it will be despised by the world, but I
He just shrugged, smiled, and looked towards the audience.
Perhaps there was no anger in this action, but what was more insulting than contempt was probably this "deliberate disregard". The unspoken subtext was obvious, and the surrounding audience even started to snicker.
"Who are you? Are you worthy?"
"I……."
Elvira's face turned red with anger, and she was about to reach Estrada, but he stopped her. The strongest paladin with a wry smile raised his war hammer, surrounded by holy light.
"Roland, I should be qualified. Perhaps today is the time to settle old scores. But this is just a competition between master and apprentice. It's up to the point. If you lose, please promise to give up selling the undead warship. This is really too much.
More than evil."
Invisibly, Elvira helped him a lot. Roland has been avoiding him these days. Today was the first time they met, so there was time to talk about many things.
And without this female knight who is quite a pioneer, he would not be able to put forward such a duel condition. For Estrada, spreading undead technology is just a trivial matter, and maintaining the glory of the Temple Church is incidental.
, taking the opportunity to find out Roland's trump card and motivation for action is the most important thing.
"The undead are evil? Who stipulates it? The God of Holy Light? Or the Holy Church teaches you yourselves!" (To be continued...)
