General Copperfield praised, "My lord has thought very carefully. Yes, once it reaches the level of a three-masted sailing ship, speed will be critical.
I think the largest ship has thick external suspension armor, plus a lot of defensive equipment. While giving it super defense and offensive power, it will also make it extremely bulky, and its sailing speed will be certain.
Not too fast, it can easily become a living target, and the probability of battle damage is too high. This alone excludes Coco as the flagship.
I looked at the smallest ship again. Did you see the two spire buildings one behind the other?
That's called a spellcasting platform. It can be used to protect spellcasters so that they can focus on casting spells from long-range attacks. It can also automatically add metamagic expertise to casters who cast spells inside. Generally, it can extend the range of spells and increase the range of spells.
of.
This means that there are at least two extraordinary spellcasters in that battleship. They are the best offensive weapons and do not need other additional weapons at all.
The turbine device half hidden in Shuidong is also used by the caster. Injecting magical power into it can make it rotate at high speed, causing the battleship to burst out at terrifying speed in an instant. Whether it is escaping or pursuing, it will
It is very practical. It is said that it was invented by a pirate mage, and pirates like to equip their warships with that kind of power device, so it is also called the pirate turbine.
Just relying on those two items makes the value of that battleship Yuanji exceed that of the other two. Otherwise, the sum of their sum would be double, and the materials spent on manufacturing alone would be 200,000..."
"Wait for Yidong, attack it first, and capture it as much as possible." Gavin agreed without hesitation.
It is a typical semi-magical ship. Although it does not use the pure magic provided by the magic battleship, it also allows itself to integrate with the caster to an extremely high level.
The price of such a boat is not only a matter of price, but whether it is on the market or not, there is no chance to see it. They are usually specially customized.
Although there is a real magical battleship, the Watcher, waiting for Gavin to salvage it at the bottom of the sea, it can't be done in a short time.
There is no one close at hand that is more tempting.
…
Three armed slave ships, named Basilisk Lair.
Although it was already late at night, the lights were still bright and there was a lot of people and the noise of drinking, the helpless and angry screams of slaves, and the sound of water legs playing, all mixed together.
Water legs, slave trading, and piracy, any one of these three professions is a high-risk profession, let alone mixing several professions together, which is even more high-risk among high risks.
Many times, it is not that the most evil people chose that profession, but that that profession has created countless evil people. When I have been stumbling around for a long time in that industry that does not treat people as human beings, and I have survived.
After arriving, he soon stopped treating people, including himself, as a beast in human skin.
And that team is not entirely human, but is mixed with a large number of humanoid intelligent creatures and dark species - hobgoblins, jackals, orcs, werewolves, etc.
That kind of situation occurs not only in the Basilisk Human Slavery Group, but also in other pirate groups. 80% of the other pirate groups are in that kind of situation. Those chaotic and evil people are not typical of those who respect the strong. They don't care about my origin at all. Please ask me to prove it.
If you are strong enough and can help the pirate group in their plundering business, you can join it.
Compared with humans, the innate abilities of those humanoid intelligent creatures and dark species give them strong advantages in many aspects.
For example, the person standing guard above the mast is not a human but a dragonborn.
Not only the special dragon-born like Zanoba who has the second stage of transformation, but also the kind of pure dragon-born with mixed blood, whose appearance is 70% to 80% similar to the dragon-shaped kobold over there in the Dwarf Statue City.
In other words, did the Dragonized Great Kobold evolve based on the Dragonborn template?
He is a blue dragonborn, which can be seen from the blue dragon scales on his body and the sharp corners on his forehead. His body is as tall and strong as a semi-giant, at least two and a half meters tall, and his expression is full of excitement.
Unspeakably arrogant.
He was not walking in the mast observation deck, but walking on a mast, carrying a bottle of strong wine and drinking himself.
Dragons are all aloof creatures, especially blue dragons, which are typical of them. They like to live in large deserts far away from most creatures, surrounded by sand dunes and loneliness.
The dragonborn will inherit the racial personality of the dragon mother clan to a great extent, and may even be more extreme, because the dragon can easily find its own kind, but it is difficult for the dragonborn to find them.
Although the dragonborn joined the Basilisk Human Slave Trading Group, it does not mean that he will integrate into it. Whether it is a temporary job for him, or whether he joined it because of the needs of the clan, he will not hesitate to wait until there is no need for him anymore.
Turn around and leave.
He looked coldly at the pirates to the east who were squandering their lives, energy and emotions unscrupulously, and could not feel a trace of emotional warmth in his vertical pupils.
Although he had no feelings for the group of slave traders to the east, he still did his duty, standing up and turning around in a circle from time to time to observe whether the movement on the sea surface was due to the blue dragon's lawful nature of pursuing perfection.
, If you ask for something, don’t do it. If you ask for it, just do the best.
In that aspect, Dragonborn has an inherent advantage.
They inherited some of the dragon's powerful senses. Not only do they have amazing vision, but they also have dark and low-light vision. They can see scenes kilometers away, and can magnify to the smallest detail.
Since he joined the Basilisk Lair, the small fleet has never been attacked by surprise again.
Is it because of his presence that the sailors on the east side were able to enjoy the carnival with such confidence? Even the two other lookout sentries who were on board were attracted, secretly put aside their tasks, and joined in the drunken and dreamy procession.
Because of that irresponsible behavior, the blue dragonborn were full of anger and disdain. If they hadn't denied their tribe, they would have been beaten to death eight hundred times.
It is strange that the Basilisk Man is a slave trading group rather than an army. His harsh style from the army makes him not popular even though he is capable, even though he once climbed to a high level.
position, but those who were better at indulging their own easters united to overthrow him.
He did not complain about this, nor did he take revenge, because the situation did not mean that the enemy was too powerful, but that he himself was insufficient.
"Well, what is that?" The blue dragonborn's eyes narrowed, and he immediately jumped up. As a pair of huge dragon wings began to vibrate, the dark green holy emblem of the ocean goddess Amberli on his chest lit up.
The magical power that enveloped him immediately subsided, allowing him to start flying smoothly.
He is not a follower of the Queen of Vixen. Is that holy emblem the key to the mist barrier that surrounds the battleship? There is a no-fly law there. Without it, he would be like a weight there, straight upright.
If it falls on the deck, the wings will become like decorations.
Although the fog barrier covering the battleship is not temporary, it is also a nine-ring barrier. It not only prohibits flying and teleportation, but also has the ability to prohibit diving, regardless of whether it is terrestrial life or marine life.
If you approach the battleship through Shuidong, you will be unable to control part of your body to surface.
The situation where a large number of marine life appeared around the warship and swam away in panic did not appear. That unique scene usually appeared when the warship was sailing at high speed, like the one before it, when it was stationed and the fog barrier was in sync with the surrounding waters.
, those marine creatures will sense it and automatically avoid that area.
After the blue dragonborn's body rose, his vertical pupils began to open layer by layer, and the muscles on his face expanded outward, making his eyes nearly double in size. It looked extremely inconsistent with the size of his entire face.
With his monster body, there is no ruthless feeling of kawaii, but a strong sense of fear.
That's not the power that all dragonborn have, but the power of his personal dragonborn bloodline - True Dragon Sight.
At that moment, his visual ability was completely comparable to that of a real dragon.
There was nothing on the sea surface, but the blue dragonborn always felt something was inconsistent, so he couldn't help but scan it again.
That time he finally discovered the problem - water ripples. A series of water ripples were rippling, and a rhythmic splashing sound was heard.
The blue dragonborn, who has nearly ten years of experience in the sea, instantly recognized the sound of paddling.
The blue dragonborn said loudly without hesitation: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack. There are a large number of stealth ships approaching. Everyone is preparing for war. There are three stealth-breaking flares in the southwest. If you don't want to die, just take them all."
Get them all moving."
The blue dragonborn's voice obviously contained magical power. Not only the people on his ship heard it, but also the people on the other two ships heard it immediately.
"No, that bastard Sadro's siren sounds, everyone prepare for war, hurry up and prepare for war."
"Everyone is in position, all water legs are on the deck, and all defensive weapons are guarded. Guard the deck to prevent the enemy from trying to board."
"Idiot, get out of here. How long are we going to sleep? Wait until the enemy rushes in and cuts off our heads?"
"Where's Charlie? Where's that idiot Charlie? Did he get himself drunk again? If he hadn't used the ballista accurately, he would have cut off that old bastard's head long ago. Whose is it?
Is the ballista shooting good? He is missing a ballista leg..."
"Hiccup...Hiccup...Captain...Captain...Why am I in a hurry? He...he...isn't he here?"
"I can't stand firmly, how about using a ballista?"
"Use the ballista... whether with legs or feet... Hiccup, he promised, even if he doesn't use his feet... he can shoot more accurately than them... Besides, they are not much better... Hiccup, let's
Most of the ballista legs on the ship... hiccup, have been drunk by him... hahaha..."
"Asshole, I'm so embarrassed to laugh, but I won't be able to laugh anymore when the enemy comes. Hurry up, prepare the concealment-breaking flare, otherwise it will be too late when the enemy comes."
The slave traders in the Basilisk's Nest showed extremely high military literacy. After hearing the siren, they picked up their weapons and ran to their posts, even if many of them were already extremely drunk.
He walked crookedly and looked like he might fall down at any moment.
What restrains them is not discipline, but the particularity of the industry they are engaged in. Once they fail, they will have little chance of survival. Even if the enemies who attack them are willing to let them go, the rescued slaves will kill them.
Eaten alive.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three alchemical bombs were fired by the ship's ballistae at a height of 100 meters and exploded.
That is not an ordinary flare, but a concealment-breaking flare created using the second-level magic flash dust.
The latest magic products from the red wizards of Fussel.
The price is very high. Each one is worth one thousand gold coins. Just the three shots just now cost 3,000 gold coins.
But it is still very popular among pirates, and demand exceeds supply because it is worth the money.
The light they erupted was comparable to that of illumination, or at least three or four times greater. The surface of the sea where the problem was suspected was illuminated as bright as red daylight, which not only tore through the darkness, but also made the invisible existence very likely.
It was photographed.
The blue dragonborn was not mistaken. There were indeed a large number of invisible paddle boats in the water, heading towards the basilisk lair.
Even if they saw through the invisibility, they still didn't see what the enemy who attacked them looked like.
Because the enemy did not use the invisibility spell, but was covered by a huge tarpaulin as black as ink, so even if the enemy was illuminated by the invisibility-breaking flare, it was still looming and looked very unreal, and the bow of the ship
In this position, there are stands one after another, inlaid with intertwined wall shields, turning those clippers into out-and-out turtle ships.
Those clippers were not specially built by Gavin's orders, but were pieced together using local materials.
The Clippers came from the small dock attached to Ilip that had just been secretly controlled. Their layout of the city and the dock was seriously disconnected. It was not difficult to do that, especially if they had the perfect force and dozens of people stationed there.
A pirate soldier did not even have a chance to pick up his own weapon. A small number of sentry posts were secretly touched, and most of them were killed on their own beds by a five-ring death cloud technique.
To provide invisibility for those clippers, the shadow carriage tarpaulin made from the shadow yarn produced in Noel's ghost textile factory - a new use developed after the number of shadow yarns was greatly increased.
Just cover it with that kind of tarpaulin, and ordinary carriages will turn into ghost carriages, which can produce unexpected tactical effects. If they don't have time to shine on the battlefield, Gavin will use them in naval battles.
If the blue dragonborn hadn't been conscientious enough and vigilant enough, and they all touched the ship, it is estimated that the slave traders who were immersed in the carnival would have just discovered it.
The wall shields may have come from the side panels of side cars, which were directly dismantled and slightly modified to be used as shields by the hobgoblin giants. Four of these large wooden shields were enough to cover a fast car.
The bow of the ship was so tightly guarded that it was difficult to see the actual situation inside.
"Full speed ahead."
After discovering that his whereabouts were exposed, Gavin, who was walking in front of the clipper, shouted an order.
They had acted secretly before, and their rowing speed was not particularly fast, at least half of what it would have been if they had tried their best.
As he gave the order, the speed of dozens of clippers soared to the extreme, split into three, and rushed towards their respective goals.
"Ballista, where's the ballista? What's the use of the ballista? Hurry up! Hurry up!"
"Where's the mage? Where's their mage? Why don't you cast spells now?"
"It's too far. The wrong side is not within the range of the spell."
"Launch! Launch! Launch quickly!"
Following waves of commotion, the ballistas and ballistas on the three-masted sailing ship began to operate one after another, shooting sparsely at the turtle-shaped clipper that was rushing forward.
"Go full speed, don't worry about them, they can't hurt them."
"Don't change direction, keep full speed."
Under normal circumstances, even if the Clippers are not frightened and run away in panic, they will dodge by moving in a zigzag manner to reduce the likelihood of Hohori hitting.
Just want to know whether those warships are equipped with heavy-duty ballistae, and whether all the weapons fired are special armor-piercing crossbows. Once hit, their six- or seven-meter-long cargo-carrying clippers will be
Directly penetrated.
The enemies who discovered that the clippers were there actually didn't do that. The slave-trading sailors operating the ballistas showed cruel and bloodthirsty smiles on their faces.
"Haha, that's a bunch of idiots without any experience in naval warfare. Their catapults are ready to be replaced with shotguns, waiting to beat up the drowned dogs."
"The mage prepares a group attack and destructive spell."
"It's a hit, haha... hiccup... it's a hit. If you hit an idiot like that who doesn't know how to dodge, I... hiccup... Even if you drink two more bottles of rum, you can still hit him accurately."
"It's impossible, it's impossible, it's absolutely wrong. He was clearly shot just now. Why is there no harm at all?"
"It passed through, and the crossbow arrow actually passed through. Could it be that what they accidentally shot was not just ordinary enemies, but really a group of ghosts?"
For a second, the slave traders were high-fiving each other, and for a second Dong showed an incredible expression. Their crossbows seemed to have passed through phantoms, passing directly in front of the ships.
"Don't panic. Those who are following behind are magical phantoms. Don't worry about those in the front row. We will attack those in the middle and back row first."
Some of the slave traders were knowledgeable and could see the problem at a glance.
The slave traders calmed down a lot as soon as they heard that it was magic. They carefully observed the situation on the sea surface and discovered the problem.
Although the ships in front looked extremely realistic, even the ripples of the oars were lifelike, there was one thing missing - the ripples of the oars spread to a certain extent and then suddenly disappeared, which obviously reached the continuous range of the spell.
That is not a spell in the orthodox sense, but a brand-new application of Lei Jia Luo's phantom, which is used to confuse the enemy and attract the enemy's firepower through the projection of spiritual crystals.
If it were a simple projection, it would be easier to distinguish, but if those clippers are in front of them and covered with phantom cloaks, they are caught off guard and it is very easy to be fooled.
While those heavy ballistae were powerful, they also made them very bulky and slow to reload. In just that delay, the speedboats had already advanced dozens of meters toward them.
