There are also some mixed half-elves in the Endless Sea. Dark elves like Arno have the strongest bloodline, but her physical appearance is more like that of humans. Compared with the high elves in front of them, her appearance is still very different.
After boarding the "Golden Ghost", this group of high elves were like curious babies, looking around at everything in the cabin.
"Oh my god... this ship is actually made of metal? It must be very heavy. Can it fly?"
"But, since it is a ship, why don't I see it has sails?"
"What are those strange pipes used for, and are they still emitting steam? In addition to the rudder, why do they have so many strange buttons in their cockpit?"
"I don't know, I think it's more like a metal toad monster than a ship..."
"..."
This group of high elves thought that Raymond and others could not understand them, so they whispered in Elvish.
Raymond had also asked Yasrema before. The female elf captain was only twenty-four years old, not much older than them. The other team members were younger, mostly only around twenty years old.
For humans, twenty years old is not too young... But if you consider the high elves, it is about the age of a ten-year-old human child. These "children" have been fighting on the battlefield for many years.
In multiple dreams, Raymond knew about this situation. The war had caused the remaining high elves in this secret realm to wander on the edge of annihilation for many years.
Legend has it that the high elves in ancient times reproduced asexually. The blood of the demigod-level elves did not reproduce through fertility, but grew directly from the "Sacred Tree of Life".
Yes, like ginseng fruits, high elves grow from trees, and then are given souls by the gods.
At that time, the elves generally had long lifespans, and there were many who lived for more than a thousand years...
But later, the mythical civilization collapsed and the gods died. After the "Sacred Tree of Life" died, their clan could only rely on fertility to reproduce, and the bloodline inheritance became thinner from generation to generation.
Although they are high-level elves, their bloodline concentration is very different from that of the legendary ancient elves. The current maximum lifespan is also about two hundred years old...
Although they still live longer than ordinary humans, the actual average age of these high elves in the secret realm will not exceed fifty due to the war.
...
Not only are the elves curious about everything on the "Golden Ghost", people like Anna are also looking at this group of elves with their eyes wide open and full of curiosity.
"We actually saw the high elves in myths and legends... This feeling is simply amazing!"
"Wow... they are so beautiful. Their legs are so long, their butts are so perky, and their breasts are so bulging..."
"Yes, they are as beautiful as fairy tales... Every one of them is so beautiful. They are indeed the most beautiful race in the legend."
"Those pointed ears look so soft, I really want to pinch them..."
"Captain, can I collect their blood samples for research..."
"..."
Nervous guys like Anna are not as tactful and reserved as the elves. They look at these high elves carelessly and speak in a low tone.
Of course, they also thought that these guys couldn't understand human language.
But they didn't know that among this group of elves, Raymond had just taught someone who could speak the common language of humans.
Yasrema heard the words "so beautiful", "beautiful", "slender"... and naturally knew that these humans were complimenting them.
This also made the female elf captain's cheeks blush slightly, and she felt like she had been praised too much.
After all, she thought, among the elves, they were not particularly good-looking.
At this time, Raymond, as the owner of the ship, first introduced the partners of the "Ghost Group" to the group of elves, saying: "This is my partner, Navigator Anna...Doctor Lulu...Chef Shi Shi
...Machinists Colin and Nicole...Sailor Thor, who as you all can see is a Titan...oh, and Gigi the monkey."
He introduced his companions to the elves one by one, of course, using high elven language.
Now, the elves understood immediately.
"He...this human can actually speak Elvish!"
"The Titans? Isn't that a legendary extinct race? No wonder he is so tall..."
"What are mechanics? Why do they put some steel brackets on their bodies? Are they human combat weapons?"
"..."
Suddenly able to communicate using language, these young elves finally felt a lot more at ease.
At this time, Yasrema also smiled and introduced her team members in human common language, saying: "Hello, human friends. These are my partners, Mark, Tim, Tina..."
This time, it was Anna's turn and they were surprised. This elf captain could actually speak human common language?
Not only the members of the "Ghost Group", but also the group of elves were also curious. When did their captain learn the common language of humans?
After some introductions, the two parties became very familiar with each other.
But now is obviously not the time to relax, because... outside the cabin, thousands of orcs have boarded the floating island, and then they also discovered the "Golden Ghost".
These equally confused low-IQ monsters are, at this moment, tapping the alloy hull of the iron toad with their crude weapons, making a banging sound. They seem to be sizing up whether this huge toad can be eaten as food.
.
Yasrema looked at the terrifying number of enemies outside the cabin and the black sailboats floating in the sky, and her face regained its seriousness before the battle.
She looked at Raymond with worried eyes and asked: "Captain Raymond, what should we do now? What is the speed of your ship? Is there any chance of getting rid of them? Those demonic 'Black Wind Sailing Ships' are blessed by wind spirits and can sail at a faster speed.
soon..."
"Well...forgot to ask a question."
Hearing this, Raymond suddenly remembered something and asked: "How can your ship... fly?"
"???"
Yasrema was stunned when she heard this question.
Isn’t this “common sense” that everyone knows?
But then I thought about it, Raymond and the others came from another world, so it was normal not to know.
She instinctively explained: "Because there are 'floating runes' painted on the ship, which are incompatible with the laws of gravity in the world..."
Having said this, the female elf captain wanted to explain something else, but she suddenly thought of something terrible, and asked dumbfounded: "Captain Raymond! Could it be that...can't your ship float?"
Raymond smiled awkwardly, "Yes."
When Yasrema heard this, she was stunned as if struck by lightning. Previously, she had held out hope that the ship could block the opponent's firepower with its exaggerated steel shell, and might be able to successfully escape pursuit.
But now... this ship can even have the most basic floating function, aren't they trapped on this floating island? There are so many demons outside, and if they are trapped, sooner or later they will die.
...
"You don't have to worry too much."
At this time, Raymond looked at the female elf's worry and said with a smile: "Even if our ship cannot fly, it is more than enough to deal with those 'black wind sailing ships'."
With that, he said to Colin: "Prepare the magic artillery and fire it at a short distance with low charge. First test the defense strength of the opponent's hull..."
Colin nodded and said: "Yes, Captain!"
Then, the two mechanics, Colin and Nicole, began to press various buttons amidst the puzzled eyes of the elves. Along with a clicking sound of the machine, looking out from the control room, the iron toad's mouth slowly
A huge cannon barrel emerged.
Raymond knew that this group of elves, whose technology was still at a primitive level, had never seen a steam steel battleship, so he said to them: "Everyone, be careful, our ship will shake violently soon..."
Seeing this scene, Yasrema looked in disbelief and asked: "You...are you planning to engage in an artillery battle with the demons?"
Raymond nodded: "Yes!"
Yasrema had a strange look on her face and didn't understand what was going on with the confident smile on Raymond's face.
She was not stupid, and naturally guessed that these humans might have shocking magical means, but she also expressed her worries, "But... the demons have a hundred warships and more than 800 artillery pieces."
..."
No matter how you look at it, the demons have absolute firepower suppression. If there is really an artillery battle, a ship that cannot float in the air, even if it is made of steel and has amazing defense, won't it just stand still and take a beating?
"Well...it's not a big problem."
Raymond didn't know how to explain it, so he smiled kindly at the beautiful elf captain.
"Charged, ready to launch!"
At this time, Colin had activated the launch button.
As the ship's hull shook, a blue beam of magic energy suddenly spurted out from the barrel.
biu~
The group of elves only felt that in the blink of an eye, the beam of light passed by, and a "Black Wind Sailboat" in the distance exploded!
A violent explosion exploded in the sky, like fireworks from a sacred ceremony, making everyone's faces turn red for a moment.
The flames of the explosion were still shining in front of them, and the elves were completely stunned... They never expected that this iron toad could actually destroy a large "Black Wind Sailboat" with one shot?
For the elves, artillery is not as practical as some high-level alchemy magic arrows. They exist on ships simply because ammunition is cheap and powerful. Firing artillery is far more cost-effective than consuming alchemy magic arrows.
..
But now, what did they see?
What the cannon fired just now was not a projectile, but a magic shock wave?
Yasrema's pupils shrank suddenly. She was completely stunned by the power of the magic artillery. "This...is this a magic artillery that can release high-level spells?"
"Well...this is a magic cannon."
Raymond nodded, changed to an angle that a magician could understand, and explained: "A kind of artillery charged with the crystal core of Warcraft... The general principle is similar to a one-time magic scroll."
"It's amazing...Have you humans created such powerful artillery..."
The elf captain had a look of disbelief, but she suddenly thought of something and murmured: "It would be great if our elves could have this artillery. When dealing with those demons, the people would not suffer such heavy casualties...
"
After hearing this, Raymond was also a little confused.
It stands to reason that the higher-ups of the elves must know about the existence of the human world, at least Prince Ige and General Menggo know about it.
Moreover, they also know that humans have developed super-powerful technologies that are comparable to extraordinary power. Whether it is steam engines or magic artillery, they are technological products that can have a huge impact on large-scale wars.
But why is the technological level of this elven secret realm still so primitive?
There are obviously super powerful weapons available, but they just don't use them?
Before Raymond could think about it, at this moment, Colin gave another sharp shout and shouted: "We are being targeted! Everyone, hurry up and prepare to jump forward to dodge the gunfire!"
Raymond came back to his senses and translated again in high elf language: "Everyone, hurry up!"
The demon's "Black Wind Sailboat" destroyed one, and those half-orcs who only had the instinct to attack also fell into madness. Regardless of life and death, they took the simple stone hammers and sticks in their hands without any sense, and began to smash the "gold" crazily.
The hull of the Ghost.
At this time, the more than a hundred sailing ships in the sky all turned their guns and pointed them at the Iron Toad.
The thick white smoke of gunpowder rises, and anyone who is not blind can see the group of orc artillery shooters igniting the fuses of the artillery.
...
Seize up? Violent shock? Leap forward?
The high elves didn't understand what the violent vibration meant. They thought humans like Raymond would rely on the ship's hard steel armor to withstand the artillery.
That's more than a hundred "Black Wind Sailing Ships"... Even if it fires a salvo of artillery from one side, there are at least 400 artillery pieces.
Can their ships withstand such a terrifying blow?
No matter what kind of artillery it is, it has the shortcoming of "insufficient maneuverability", and the original gunpowder iron tube gun has this shortcoming even more.
After they aim at a target and fire, they can no longer change the shooting direction. Even if the hull moves, there is only a slight angle adjustment, leaving a long time for prediction.
Therefore, in this secret realm, the biggest role of artillery is not to hit people, but to hit slow-moving sailing ships, or strong building walls...
It only takes two or three seconds from the time the fuse is ignited to the moment tongues of flame spurt out from the muzzle.
Those demons didn't seem to care about the life or death of the orcs near the "Golden Ghost", and they opened fire directly, intending to cover the area with firepower.
"The steam boiler is charged...ready to leap forward!"
At this moment, Colin directly pressed the leap forward button.
The next moment, the Iron Toad kicked the ground hard with all four legs. Everyone in the cabin felt as if the gravity suddenly increased several times, as if there was an invisible big hand pressing down on them, making their legs weak.
Everyone in the "ghost group" was used to it, but the high elves were a little embarrassed. At the same time, they watched the scenery outside the glass window changing rapidly, and they were shocked beyond measure.
"This...steel ship can't fly, right?"
"It's not flying, it's jumping!"
"Oh my god, we actually escaped the artillery fire..."
"This is truly an amazing ship..."
"..."
...
More than 400 artillery pieces were covering the fire. No matter how fast the Golden Ghost jumped, it would still be hit by a few rounds.
But those iron ball projectiles hit the black titanium alloy steel plate with a crackling sound, like the sound of rain hitting banana leaves. Although the movement was not small, it hardly caused any damage to the armor.
"Determine the intensity of the enemy's firepower and the threat level i. It is recommended to ignore it and carry out high-frequency fixed-point shooting..."
"implement!"
This round of leap forward is just because I want to confirm the firepower. Now that the confirmation is completed, the next step is to watch the performance of the two mechanics, Colin and Nicole.
The "Golden Ghost" has absolute technological overpowering, and dealing with the demons whose technology is still in a primitive state is like a tank against a broadsword, without any threat at all.
The only trouble is the quantity.
Of course, there are also the Sequence 4 and Sequence 5 demon leaders on the ship, who may have some attack methods that Raymond and the others don't know about.
"The defense strength of the opponent's warships is level 3, and 15% charging of the magic cannon is enough to destroy them..."
During the run just now, Nicole had accurately calculated the defense power of those "Black Wind Sailboats". If the artillery activity on the Golden Ghost was fully charged, it would be a waste, the charging time would be too long, and the killing efficiency would be very low. To deal with it,
Even for this kind of ship with ordinary enchantments, gunpowder cannons can cause enough damage, let alone magic cannons.
"15% load charging, charging time is eight seconds, interval is 15 seconds, prepare to counterattack!"
As soon as the "Golden Ghost" landed, it began an artillery counterattack.
This time, they did not make another leap forward, but started shooting from a standing position.
biu~biu~biu~biu...
Beams of magic energy shot out from the barrel in the mouth of the iron toad. The "black wind sailboats" in the sky were very dense. Every time the beam of magic energy lit up, one of the sailboats would be destroyed, and there would definitely be a shipwreck in the sky.
A brilliant ball of fireworks exploded in the sky.
The low-load artillery is charged for bombardment and can fire twice a minute, which is extremely efficient.
Moreover, the black titanium alloy armor of the "Golden Ghost" ignored artillery projectiles at all. The iron toad seemed to be bathed in the baptism of artillery fire, and the ground around it was blown into a mess like a crater, but it was still intact.
Spraying magic energy beams on the spot...
The two of them, Colin and Nicole, cooperated tacitly, and performed a dazzling operation in the control room, completely dumbfounding those high-level elf dreams.
One against a hundred?
Oh my god, can an artillery battle still be fought like this?
One after another, dozens of "black wind sailing ships" in the sky were destroyed...
Under normal circumstances, some rational enemies should have chosen to retreat long ago when they saw such an obviously invincible opponent.
But what is surprising is that those demons have no intention of evacuating at all. They look like they will not give up until they achieve their goals, and they still charge menacingly.
After listening to Yasrema's explanation, Raymond and the others had a deeper understanding of the ferocity of these demons.
The high-level demons did not give orders. Even if the whole army was annihilated, these stupid orcs would never flinch at all, just like moths flying towards the flame.
This is the real horror of the demons’ “cannon fodder tactics”!
.......
A few hours later, more than a hundred black wind sailing ships in the sky were destroyed.
But there are still thousands of orcs who have landed on the floating island.
Raymond and the others had to get off the boat and kill them themselves.
After the first blow, he discovered a magical phenomenon.
He was surprised to find that the demon sword [Ghost Eye] in his hand could actually absorb the demonic energy in these orcs!
