Seeing that there was nothing to worry about in Blackwater Bay, Snorri simply returned to his room. He heard some of the tribesmen who were taking a boat for the first time mumbling and some cheering.
This dreadnought was large enough by the standards of his previous life, and it could barely feel the waves when sailing in the inland sea. However, it didn't look as elegant as a human ship, and instead looked like an iron bastard.
In order to face the aerial power of the high elves, the designers strengthened or even alienated its defensive capabilities. This also led to a series of side effects, including but not limited to fuel consumption, small internal space, etc.
After spending a few days sailing out of Blackwater Bay, the dwarf fleet entered the Bandit Straits. As the name suggests, this area is a very unstable place. The sea routes of Tyrell, the Border Princedom, and Arabi converged here, and a lot of pirates
Looking for business here too.
More importantly, this sea area is a buffer zone between the dwarf navy and the high elf navy. There is no strong naval control. The high elf dragon ships and eagle ships cruise in every corner of the vast ocean, but generally do not enter this sea area.
.
In contrast, the dwarf navy seldom came here, and Fleet Admiral Panosin became more vigilant. He changed the long snake formation headed by the Thunder of Grimnir in Blackwater Bay to
Transformed into a prismatic team.
It still started with the most powerful dreadnought, but the three armored ships were located at the three corners of the prism. These four battleships protected the transport sailboat in the middle. Parnoson also dispatched a carrier-based airship. This thing also
It is almost unique to Haimen Pass.
In this busy sea area, both merchant ships and pirates took the initiative to avoid the dwarf warships. However, the good times did not last long. At night, a message was uploaded back from the airship.
"Altman said they discovered the Black Ark and are returning quickly!" Panoson said in the command room about the latest situation. Rune transmitters are also used in the fleet.
"Black Ark?" Snorri frowned. In his previous game, these things were only used as troop carriers to transport Dark Elf troops to all over the world, but in fact, the power of these things is far more than that.
"You know, the dark elves, they call themselves Druzi, they are the most murderous group among the three pointed ears. Many of them directly worship the evil god of chaos. The remaining ones believe in their god of war - Bloodhand Kane, but this one follows
The Evil God is pretty much the same."
Panosin introduced Snorri to the guys they were about to meet. The dark elves were Malekith's supporters when he split the high elves. They believed that the elves must become a more martial people instead of becoming a people who only know
A hedonistic coward.
These guys were defeated in the final battle. The Witch King, who preferred both sides to lose, took the risk and tried to destroy the maelstrom built by Caledor and the Dragon Tamer to drain the wind of magic.
However, due to the obstruction of the high elf archmages at the time, Malekith failed to do so. The energy released by the Maelstrom after being attacked was far more powerful than anyone imagined, and nearly half of the land around Ulthuan was forever
Sinking to the bottom of the sea, Malekith's Kingdom of Nagaris was the first to bear the brunt.
Together with his mother, Witch Queen Moras and other followers, he used powerful black magic to raise several fortresses of Nagaris so that they could float on the sea. These maritime cities were later replaced by people.
It's called the Black Ark.
"What do you think? Are we going to get rid of those bad guys with pointy ears?" Parnoson asked next.
"Me? You are the real expert at sea. This ship is also yours. You have the final say." Snorri had never seen the Black Ark, but he thought Malekith couldn't be there by chance, right? As long as
Unless you encounter a particularly powerful legendary dark elf or one with a bunch of different names, you should be able to win it.
"I swear on the name of my ancestors, I am not cowardly, but I have to be responsible for my crew." Panoson laid the groundwork first, and Snorri motioned for him to continue.
"I suggest defeating or at least driving away the Black Ark, otherwise there may be trouble when the fleet returns."
Snorri nodded. In order to make as much space as possible in the hull, the battleship at Haimen Pass did not have a full complement of sailors, and it did not carry many artillery shells. There were 3,000 regular troops on the ship on the way out, and no one dared to touch it.
Not necessarily anymore.
"Well, this also happens to be an opportunity to train troops! I believe they won't be too strong!" Snorri agreed with Panoson's suggestion. The high-level troops of the dark elves generally have armor-breaking capabilities, but even on this Black Ark
There won't be too many.
The Dark Elves have an extremely strict class system. Under the Witch King and Witch Queen are the seven fear lords, nobles, commoners, and slaves. The captain of the Black Ark is generally a minor noble.
Malekith restricted the strength of his subordinates, and he planted seeds of distrust among the nobles. All the nobles sometimes fought with each other in order to please the Witch King. This method was just to prevent the accumulation among the nobles from being enough to harm Malekith.
power.
After a while, a young dwarf wearing a windproof hat and leather jacket walked into the command room. "This is Altman Yanmei. He is the engineer of our ship and is also in charge of the ship-based airship.
Take off and land.”
"Greetings to you, dear goddess of choice, my friend Bloxson is under your care!" Altman said hello and got down to business.
"I discovered a Black Ark, plundering the coast of the Principality of Lucini." He stretched out his hand and pointed out the location of a town on the map.
"This is not the main city of humans!" Panoson looked at the map and analyzed. "They have arrived at the shore? Are they plundering slaves?"
"Otherwise? My prince, aren't those black leather pointed ears good for this?" Altman confirmed Panoson's words.
"The hometown of those bastards, the place they call Nagaros, is an extremely barren and desolate place. The important economic lifeline of the dark elves relies on the loot obtained from plunder. And the most important material among them is slaves.
"
Panoson's expression was very serious. It was obvious that there were people in Haimen Pass, or at least some tribesmen had suffered this misfortune. In the slave market of Kalonde-Kal, dwarf slaves have always been priceless, regardless of scarcity.
This is true for both sex and practicality.
"Slaves are never enough for the black leather goods. They have to provide labor, sacrifices and serve as cannon fodder in wars. They have to do everything their evil masters don't want to do. When they can't do it anymore, or for whatever reason, they will
It might be sacrificed to the evil god!"
"I suspect that Bloody Kane may have something to do with the Blood God!" Altman added.
