After Zefengqi Pacific made it clear, Yun Xiaohan approached Tina again and informed her of the discovery of the Elf Kingdom's fleet, and asked her to pass it on and suggest that Liya quickly send the Thunderstorm Fleet to deal with this fleet.
The reason why this suggestion was not mentioned before was because there was no reason. It was Yun Xiaohan's guess that the Elf Kingdom might send a fleet to respond. It was impossible for Liya to send a thunderstorm fleet just for a guess, and sending a fleet would also cost money.
From this suggestion, we can see that Yun Xiaohan is very ambitious. Not only does he want to take down the "intelligence agents", he also wants to take down the Elf Kingdom fleet in one go.
Since the land battle could not be fought for the time being, he turned all his attention to the sea and frequently communicated with players at sea.
There are actually nearly 800 players at sea now, not including those who have arrived in Ivas City and are taking regular ships back to Corsica to pick up the ships.
I will definitely not go to Xueman now, because Beji Village is relatively close to Corsica. It will save a lot of time to go to Corsica first and then take a boat to Beji Village. From this, we can also see that Corsica
Due to its geographical importance, it can be said to be the most critical maritime barrier in the Xueman region.
In fact, Yun Xiaohan could recruit these players at sea to join him ashore in advance, and then eliminate the remaining two hundred or so "espionage agents" without waiting for the dead players to come back. But in this case
There will be no bait. Don’t forget that the “espionage personnel” have the means to transmit messages remotely. Even if they cannot notify more complex information, it is not difficult to agree on a warning and evacuation signal in advance. The Elf Kingdom fleet will receive the signal
It is very likely that they will retreat directly in the end, then there will be no chance to eat this fleet, and the Thunderstorm Fleet will run away in vain.
After a short period of long-distance observation, relying on experience and reference data provided by Corsican players who had outflanked them from other directions, Fengqi Pacific and a group of other naval leaders could barely deduce the location and approximate location of the entire Elf Kingdom fleet.
speed.
The reason why I couldn't determine it before was because it was too far away. The Elf Kingdom's ships were moving far apart during high-speed sailing. Only some ships were observed in the Pacific when the wind blew, but the ships were relatively large, and the distance and field of vision at sea were very large.
Confusing, being able to see the outline of a ship at a distance doesn't mean much. The ship you see may be very far away from the player, and may be separated by hundreds or even thousands of yards (the larger the ship, the easier it is to observe), and the player's
The minimap will only have blue dots and red dots in the current field of view to distinguish between friend and foe.
This field of view rule is actually the same for land and sea, but there are many obstructions on land, and the characters cannot be as big as ships, so people in the distance cannot be seen outside the normal field of view. This is not the case at sea. You can see
to a very distant ship.
This is actually a more realistic rule. You cannot see the people on the ship very far away at sea, but you can see the ship. The range of the slightly more advanced magic crystal cannon is greater than the player's field of vision.
Therefore, at sea, the mini map is basically a decoration. The naked eye is more effective than the mini map. If the player really finds the enemy on the mini map, he will definitely be unable to escape. Enemy ships that are faster than the player can't escape, but they are not as fast as the player.
Enemy ships can be directly bombarded with cannons, which will kill them anyway.
With the location and approximate speed of the Elf Kingdom's fleet, they can calculate the time it will take to arrive at Beji Village, which is about 15 minutes. This is an estimate and not accurate, but it is of great reference value.
Yun Xiaohan began to calculate the data account.
It takes about 25 minutes to reach Bezi Village from the Port of Galliary (average standard for players). Even if the Thunderstorm Fleet sails faster, it will take time for Liya's order to be conveyed to Viscount Nelson. The Thunderstorm Fleet will arrive after receiving the order.
Departing the entire army also requires a certain amount of preparation time. The crew members board the ship, prepare water, ammunition, etc., so it will take at least 35 minutes to arrive at Beji Village.
There is a time difference of at least 20 minutes. With the current remaining number of "intelligence agents", two to three medium-sized ships can basically take away everyone. Even if they take away those who were knocked unconscious, it will not be enough.
At most there are four ships.
The wharf in Beji Village is not big, and one or two medium-sized ships can enter at a time (smaller medium-sized ships can enter two). According to this calculation, it only takes two or three times to enter the port and all the remaining "espionage personnel" can be evacuated.
, the total time spent is 5 to 10 minutes, of which the time spent on boarding the ship is actually not much, mainly the time spent on the ship entering and exiting the port and docking at the berth, and moving the unconscious NPC will also take more time.
If this time is taken, it will naturally be very beneficial to Yun Xiaohan. In theory, he can even let the opponent take some people out of the port first, and then attack the remaining personnel. He can also use the opponent's opportunity to board the ship to launch a surprise attack.
But in fact this is not the case at all. If Yun Xiaohan wants to complete this mission better, he must not let go of the entire ship, because the three leading NPCs among the "intelligence personnel" are likely to be the first to board the ship.
Compared with ordinary "intelligence personnel", these three NPCs are obviously the key figures. After all, for a covert operation like this that is very important at first glance, the purpose of the operation cannot be known to all participants, and it is likely that only a few will take the lead.
He knows what to do. Once these three leading NPCs are let go, no matter how many ordinary "intelligence agents" are captured, the mission may fail because nothing can be asked from the ordinary "intelligence agents".
Therefore, it is best for Yun Xiaohan not to let any NPC board the ship, at least until the Thunderstorm Fleet arrives. To do this, the easiest way is to gather all the players at sea and get them all first.
The remaining "espionage personnel" were eliminated, which conflicted with his idea of launching a bait-fishing fleet. Because everyone at sea was recruited, the Elf Kingdom fleet had no obstacles and could arrive at Beji Village in about 15 minutes.
, so he was a little confused.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After thinking for a while, the greedy Yun Xiaohan decided to take a risk and try to delay the Elf Kingdom fleet from the sea first, trying to buy as much time as possible. If he really couldn't hold it off,
I quickly called for sea players to land, but at that time it was the sea players and the Elf Kingdom fleet competing for landing speed, so the risk would be relatively high.
After making up his mind, Yun Xiaohan began to spend money. He promised the players at sea that he would reimburse them for all losses, including ship repairs, ship sinkings, and compensation for the death of sailors. He would let them hinder the advancement of the Elf Kingdom fleet without having to fight with them.
The Elf Kingdom fleet fights hard, as long as they are delayed as much as possible, at least 15 minutes is enough, because it only takes 20 to 25 minutes for the dead players to come over, and then Yun Xiaohan can lead people to attack the village and eliminate the remaining ones
of "intelligence agents".
And if it can be delayed longer, it would be better. Yun Xiaohan does not have to rush to eat the bait. He can wait until the thunderstorm fleet is approaching before eating the bait. Yun Xiaohan arranged for the players to go on the sea from Sardinia to Beji Village.
Waiting on the route, he will definitely know in advance the arrival of the Thunderstorm Fleet.
This is why he wants to spend money. Without spending money, he can't fully mobilize the enthusiasm of players in the territory, and it will be impossible to complete his most ambitious idea - annihilating the "intelligence agents" and swallowing up the Elf Kingdom fleet. He is equivalent to
Exchange money for time.
The compensation for sailors is nothing. Yun Xiaohan had specifically told him not to bring sailors who had spent a lot of time training on board the ship. Nowadays, sailors are very low-level, and there is no need to pay extra recruitment fees. Just pay them weekly wages. Wages.
It's already low and only one week's salary is paid, so it doesn't cost much to compensate.
In comparison, ship compensation is the bulk of the problem. Ship repair is okay, it can be repaired at the Ajaccio shipyard, it is very cheap, the repair time is also very short, and the compensation is not much.
The compensation for a sunken ship is relatively high, because the player cannot be delayed from running a business. The ship's compensation must be based on the ship price of the Snowman City Shipyard. The shipyard in the player's territory is cheaper, but its output is limited. Players
It takes a certain amount of time to get the ship after ordering it. How long it takes to build the ship depends on the specifications of the ship, the speed of construction and the supply of raw materials. However, NPC shipyards have a large number of existing ships, so there is no need to wait, you can buy them directly
.
Of course, there will definitely be a group of players who take advantage of the loophole and build ships at the Ajaccio Shipyard while taking the compensation from the ship price of the Snowman City Shipyard. For example, players who have spare ships, or players who are better at saving money, go to Snowman City first.
The city shipyard bought an inexpensive small boat and ran a business, and then slowly waited for the ship to be built in the Ajaccio shipyard.
But this kind of thing is unavoidable, and Yun Xiaohan cannot stop eating because of choking, because he will be exploited, so he will compensate according to the sale price of the shipyard in Ajaccio. If not saying that it will cause some honest people to suffer, let's say that this loophole is exploited.
The profits brought will make some players more motivated.
Of course, in order to prevent some people from deliberately giving ships to NPCs to sink in order to earn compensation or exchange old ships for new ones, Yun Xiaohan took the vaccination in advance and said that after the mission was over, he would find someone to ask about the battle carefully.
After that, someone will be arranged to monitor whether anyone deliberately sent the ship. Players who participated in the delaying battle and the ship did not sink will receive certain rewards after the war. Those who performed well in the delaying battle will receive more rewards.
Yun Xiaohan has spent a lot of money on this task. The compensation and rewards will cost at least 2,000 gold. Now he only hopes that this task can bring him a return commensurate with his efforts.
Speaking of which, the shipyards in Ajaccio have now been upgraded to level 4, but they can still only build medium-sized ships at most, and there are still many medium-sized ships that have not been unlocked, which is not much different from level 3.
This is mainly due to three reasons. The first reason is the lack of drawings, the second reason is the lack of key relevant raw materials, and the third and most important reason is technical limitations.
Although the shipbuilding level of the Ajaccio City Shipyard at level 2 has slightly exceeded the shipbuilding level of the Snowman City Shipyard, that is because the shipbuilder star level is higher (7 and a half star shipbuilder Pellet), and Corsica's
Shipbuilding technology is also slightly higher than that of Xueman City.
No matter how strong the shipyard in Ajaccio is, it is still a shipyard belonging to the imperial camp, and its technical level is also limited by the national shipbuilding technology (camp naval star level). It can be slightly higher than the average level of the camp, but not higher.
There are too many (Corsica has wood suitable for shipbuilding, and its technology is relatively good, equivalent to a level of 3 and a half stars. The average level of the empire camp is three stars), not to mention that there is still a long way to go before the Age of Discovery in the game begins.
For a long time, the shipbuilding technology of the entire Yaar continent has been at a relatively low level.
Because of the limitations of the overall technical level, the effect of shipyard upgrades is not so obvious. Many new ship types will not be added. On the contrary, the speed of ship repair and shipbuilding will be improved to a certain extent.
To be honest, if he had the choice, Yun Xiaohan would rather all players in the territory take advantage of his loophole and order ships at the Ajaccio Shipyard.
He has this idea not because he wants to give money to players in the territory, but because it has real benefits.
You must know that Yun Xiaohan is the lord of the city of Ajaccio, and the shipyard must pay taxes to him when making money. The player's expenditure at the shipyard of Ajaccio will be partially returned to him in the form of taxes.
This refunded part is definitely not as much as the difference in the price of the ship sold by the two shipyards, but it is not much different, so he cannot say that he suffers too much.
The more important reason is that it can train the shipwrights and workers in the Ajaccio shipyard. You must know that shipwrights and workers also have proficiency. They can improve their corresponding proficiency through shipbuilding and ship repair. The higher the proficiency in shipbuilding and shipbuilding.
The higher the repair efficiency, the shipbuilder may also be able to understand new blueprints. If he is good enough, he can even improve the local shipbuilding technology level by himself, so it is still very useful.
Why is the shipbuilding technology level of the Snowman Shipyard lower than that of the Ajaccio Shipyard, but shipbuilding and ship repairing are faster?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is because the number of shipbuilders and workers in the Snowman Shipyard is much larger than that of the Ajaccio Shipyard. (A shipyard can accommodate multiple shipwrights.
Working inside, they will each lead a group of workers and can build or repair several ships at the same time.)
This is normal. After all, one is an old shipyard with a history of hundreds of years, and the other is a new shipyard that was built recently. The background is too different. (Xueman City Shipyard has many shipbuilders, but its star rating is not high. The highest
It’s only 5 and a half stars.)
After agreeing to send the money, Yun Xiaohan communicated with the maritime players on the territory channel. He had no choice but to go to Ajaccio to pick up the boat now. He could only help use his brain and come up with ideas.
In fact, this mission was quite restrictive for Yun Xiaohan. The time limit was too tight and teleportation was not allowed. Otherwise, if he could return to his territory, he might be able to bring a few followers over, which would make it much easier to fight.
It removes players' worries and promises rewards. In addition, all players in the territory have received this task. If they perform well, not only will Yun Xiaohan be rewarded, but the task itself will also be rewarded. In addition, it can also show off in front of other players, so the territory
Player motivation is very high.
It's just that the combat effectiveness of the player's fleet is far different from that of the Elf Kingdom's fleet. First of all, the ships are much worse. One ship of the Elf Kingdom's fleet can have 20 low-level magic crystal cannons. The players here only have navy players and professional sea traders.
There are magic crystal cannons on the merchant player's ship. Not to mention the cannons, they are all the lowest level magic crystal cannons. The sailors are also very different. There are professional navy NPCs over there, while the players here are mostly temporarily hired G-class sailors. Hardly.
