Chapter 880 , Protect the Ship and Conquer the Enemy!
By mid-November, when the high elves still hadn't made a plan to dispatch troops, even Ryan himself was very impatient.
"What the hell are the high elves doing?" Walking in the villa, Ryan paced back and forth irritably. The King of Knights only felt that he had wasted a lot of time in Ulthuan. As a result, he had two targets, one was a mantra scroll, and One was addressing the threat of the Maelstrom in the Shipyard, neither of which was addressed.
"Lian, my dear, I didn't say it before, for elves, their concept of time is different." The fairy in the lake held a small fan in her hand and sat on the sofa. The goddess is wearing a bright pink plum calyx powder today The pleated silk dress shows off her perfect and slender body. The slender waist and high-puffed neckline show the charming style of a goddess. The pleated skirt reaches about ten centimeters above the knee, and her delicate long legs Wrapped in light brown ultra-thin pantyhose, staring at a pair of white high-heeled shoes, the goddess shook a small fan, leaned on the soft sofa very comfortably, and said to Ryan: "Don't tell me anything else, don't you know Dwarves? Those little dwarves swore revenge until Marienburg did it, but it took more than a year."
"Ryan, be safe." Su Liya's dress is almost like a sister of the fairy in the lake. The only difference is that her skirt and high heels are both sky blue, and the stockings are exactly the same as the goddess. Seeing that her husband was a little irritable, Surya stood up, walked to Ryan, and gently persuaded: "We can't interfere with the high elves, and the lady has done her best."
"Human time is precious." Ryan embraced Suria and smiled helplessly: "Madam, we may be immortal species, so is Madam, and so is Olika, but my army is not, and so are my people." no."
"You're starting to be dishonest again, my dear." Suria's face was flushed, and Ryan was not idle during this time. He spent a few days on Suria's lower abdomen based on the original spirit pattern, A new high-level spirit pattern was branded, and the pattern of this spirit pattern was more complicated and there were many unknown symbols. Since the branding was completed, Surya could already feel that her physical fitness had improved by at least 30%, and she began to I can feel that there is a mysterious link between Ryan and himself. Of course, in private, the female knight also showed more strange expressions because of the higher spirit mark.
Ryan has consumed a lot of power for this. The King of Knights has been a bit vain recently. Olika and Suria are both big psychic consumers now. Olika has been experimenting with new spells all day recently. Surya also practiced Voiddance release from time to time.
At the same time, there is also the fairy in the lake. Although the goddess has not yet consummated the marriage with Ryan, she is indeed indistinguishable from Surya now. The queen and the goddess usually rest together, and the goddess will also take this opportunity to obtain a large amount of Ryan's spiritual power , Euphemistically called "Strategic Reserve".
"How about this, Ryan, how about we go to the Moon Palace of Safrui Kingdom to get married first?" The fairy in the lake blushed, she opened her fan to cover half of her face,
So that Ryan could not see her shy look: "I have configured all the things in the whole palace. You and Suria go together? Teclis will witness our marriage."
"Ma'am, we are waiting for a war! Are you telling me this now?" Ryan looked like you were teasing me, and the King of Knights waved his hand with an uneasy expression: "When everything is over, get the Phoenix Mantra Let's talk about the scroll and deal with the threat of undead pirates."
"But our wedding has been postponed several times." The fairy in the lake is not ignorant of what is the most important thing, she is a little aggrieved: "I planned to get married last week, but it turned out that the war lord council was too late to get a result. Really , Let me tell you, Ryan, after thousands of years, the court of Asur is simply synonymous with slowness and procrastination, especially now that Ulthuan does not feel the threat of war, and the elf princes react faster It's slow."
"Huh! Our cousin is like this, Fela is unbearable, weak and useless." Olika just came in to collect her clothes, and the dark elf maid's small white silk feet stepped on a pair of fluffy slippers, and heard the words of the fairy in the lake Then he said impatiently: "If it were us, Drucci, we would definitely not encounter this kind of problem."
"Heh, in Azul's view, Druzzi only knows how to use violence and fear to maintain prestige and efficiency. If any member of the War Council shows signs of this, he will be expelled from the War Council immediately." In the lake The fairy squinted at Olika. After this period of time, the goddess and the dark elf maid were not so hostile. After all, they both shared the same man: "Your Drucci's method won't work in Ursuan, Osuan. Rika."
This is true, Ryan wants to find the freedom of civilization belonging to the elves in the dark elves, isn't that the same as finding Rome in the Holy Roman Empire?
"Master, I think I have to remind you." Olika hesitated for a moment. Although the dark elves really wanted to see their cousins be unlucky or even dead, she still stood by Ryan's side after all: "If I didn't guess wrong , The Witch King should have already planned the entire strategy and tactics, and is ready to launch an all-out war against Ulthuan."
"Are you sure?" Ryan attached great importance to Olika's opinion.
"Master, Drucci is really not these weak cousins. The Witch King's control over the fear lords is absolute. The Witch King values efficiency, not procedural justice or fairness." Orika said to Ryan: " It is very possible that the Black Ark and the army from Naggaroth have joined the undead pirates and are approaching Ulthuan, and our weak cousins are still quarreling over who will command the army, which is an excellent opportunity."
"I think I must inform the War Council of this news immediately." Ryan thought that what Olika said made sense, after all, the dark elves knew the dark elves best.
"Ryan, calm down first, we can't get a chance to enter the war council now." Suria thought about it and said, "I don't think the high elves will allow a few humans to make a battle plan, right?"
"This is the most difficult dilemma at the moment." Ryan nodded, he was speechless about Gao Jing's corrupt and very slow system, the King of Knights thought for a while, and finally could only decide: "Well, I will go to Arsene, Let that guy pass it on."
"I'll go with you." Surya took the initiative to hold Ryan's arm.
Ten minutes later, when Ryan and others packed up and were about to leave, the door of the villa rang.
"Hello, Your Majesty Ryan, Queen Suria, I'm Arsene, this is the Phoenix King's most trusted Minister of the Interior and Minister of Foreign Affairs Charles Maurice Bennister." Arsena introduced to Ryan and others Dao, the polymath smiled politely: "The Phoenix King wants to ask you something."
"Welcome." Ryan gestured for two people to come in.
Finnubar asked his foreign minister to convey his greetings from the Phoenix King, and looked forward to an opportunity for the two sides to meet again. Charles regretted to say to Ryan that due to the recent preparations for the Isa sacrifice and the imminent outbreak of war, the War Council had a great deal of respect for the Phoenix King. The king was grounded, and Finnuba could not meet with Lane, but in any case, before Lane left Lothern, the two parties must meet again and have dinner together.
"The Phoenix King asked me to inquire about the King of Knights' views on this war." The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of the Interior of the Phoenix King asked politely: "Your Majesty must also know that the war council has been unable to come up with a resolution for a long time."
"What does His Majesty Finnuba want to know?" Ryan and Suria sat on the sofa, and the fairy in the lake sat on the far side watching. The goddess did not reveal her identity, and Arsene and Charles didn't notice at all. her presence.
"His Majesty the Phoenix King hopes that you can talk endlessly." Although Charles was handsome, he had a rather feminine temperament, with the elegance and arrogance unique to high-spirited courts.
"I think what Ulthuan has to do now is to let the War Council come up with a plan and march as soon as possible without further delay. Second, it is necessary to immediately notify all the outer ring kingdoms in Ulthuan to prepare for war." Ryan said his plan: "I estimate that the dark elves and undead pirates are very likely to be ready to raid the Outer Ring Kingdom."
"Ready? His Majesty Ryan, this is unlikely, right?" Charles disapproved after hearing Ryan's suggestion, but he didn't completely ignore it, but asked: "Then do you think the dark elves and undead pirates will Where is the main attack?"
"This, I can't make a judgment." Ryan can only judge that the enemy is likely to attack, but he really doesn't know when the attack will come. If the dark elves have traces to follow, then the undead pirates can't Guess.
"That's it," the Minister of the Interior of the Phoenix King's court felt a little disapproving after hearing this. He thought to himself that the level of the Knight King was no more than that. where? Didn't he become a joke?
This pot must be divided well. If Ryan said where he would fight and didn't fight, then the responsibility is his. If Ryan didn't make it clear and said it himself, then the enemy didn't fight in the end. This pot is for him. -Morris recited it himself.
"Then, does His Majesty Ryan have any good ideas on how to use ironclad ships in possible naval battles?" The Foreign Minister kept his expression on his face, and he then asked Ryan.
"Yes." Ryan nodded, the King of Knights thought for a while, and said his idea during this time: "We have two ironclad ships, the Enterprise and the Saint Sophia, whose artillery is so powerful that it is beyond the reach of the undead pirates. Its armor is so thick that it is difficult for the opponent's artillery to destroy it, but the weakness of the ironclad ship is slow turning and slow sailing speed (compared to the high-spirited dragon ship), which is far from being comparable to the high-spirited fleet. Therefore, if you take the initiative to attack, It may be difficult for an ironclad to match the high elves' fast turn and speed, but if it is defensive or slow to advance, it is more than enough for positional warfare, and we are not afraid of boarding and ramming."
"What do you mean?" Charles, as the Minister of the Interior, didn't quite understand what Ryan was saying, he just wanted a conclusion.
"What I mean is that if you are fighting at sea, the two ironclad ships cannot directly participate in the high elves' fast assault column and outflank tactics. The biggest role of the ironclad ships should be...to protect the ship and defeat the enemy!" Ryan said seriously.
What the hell is it to protect the ship against the enemy? ! Charles frowned when he heard the words, still saving the ship to defeat the enemy? I think you, the King of Knights, fear the enemy like a tiger, right?
Arsene raised his eyebrows calmly.
Our Star Dragon Fleet in Asur is number one in the world! At that time, when I say "protect the ship and control the enemy" in the Phoenix Palace, the entire War Council and all its members and elf princes will laugh their heads off. How can I afford to lose this person? In this way, is it appropriate to engage in Charles, the Minister of the Interior and Minister of Foreign Affairs?
At first, His Majesty Finnuba thought that the King of Knights would have some great ideas, but now it seems that it is not enough. After hearing this, Charles nodded with a smile, expressing his understanding: "I see, thank you for your advice, I will go back soon , Tell His Majesty the Phoenix King and members of the War Council."
"Okay." Ryan nodded.
The two nobles, Arsene and Charles, left. Ryan watched them leave, stood up, and paced in the wide hall of the villa. Through the crystal floor-to-ceiling windows, the built-in swimming pool of the villa was sparkling.
"Do you think the high elves will listen, ma'am?" Ryan asked the fairy in the lake.
"Anyway, you've already said it, and that's enough." The fairy in the lake said noncommittally: "Get ready for war, my dear."
"Well." Ryan agreed: "Suria, come with me, let's call Brother Fulgan to go to the alien activity area now, and check the combat readiness of the ironclad ship."
"good!"
……… I am the dividing line that protects the ship and defeats the enemy………
A few hours later, the High Elf War Council, the Phoenix King Finnubar also came to the scene of the council this time. The Phoenix King, under the protection of the captain of the White Lion Guard Kosier, watched the war lord Tyrion still working hard to coordinate and Arranging the battle plan, his expression was dull and he didn't say a word.
Every member of the War Council has a fierce debate on how to use each team of soldiers. Sometimes it is not for the war, but because of the game and contest of the political forces behind it. It often takes an hour or two to get a little troop deployment. After coming to a conclusion, after the final settlement, the war lord will always arrange it first, and then turn around and ask Finnuba's opinion: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"According to what the warlord said." Finnubar actually understood these combat deployments at all, and he kept nodding like a duck with a head. The Phoenix King's attitude made Tyrion feel quite relieved and comforted. The war lord thought that if he came back from victory this time, it would be better to arrange a high-skilled and famous lady for Finnuba, and it would be considered as a reward for him.
After discussing for a long time, Finnuba felt that his neck was a little sore. Just as the Phoenix King was about to say something, the Minister of the Interior and Minister of Foreign Affairs Charles Morris Bennister he appointed quickly entered the parliament from the outside. Finnuba's eyes lit up, and he finally found a chance to speak up: "Charles, you're finally back, how is it? What does that knight king think about this war? What does he want to say about the use of ironclad ships? "
Everyone in the war council also stopped.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I bring greetings from the King of Knights of Brittania." Minister Charles Maurice Bennister saluted the Phoenix King very politely.
"What did Ryan say?" Tyrion paid a lot of attention to Ryan's opinion, and he had already won Tyrion's respect through his strength.
"His Majesty the King of Knights has nothing to say." Charles nodded and smiled. "He said that he and his ironclad ships will support and faithfully implement the strategic and tactical plans formulated by us Azul."
"Very good!" All the members of the War Council nodded in satisfaction. Human beings still know the superiority of us Asur.
"Really?" Finnuba was a little disappointed. This was originally a means for him to strengthen his political influence.
"Oh, yes, His Majesty the King of Knights requests His Majesty Finnuba, if there is a chance, we must have dinner together once." Charles said with a smile.
"This is fine, just arrange it at that time." Tyrion agreed immediately before Finnubar could speak, Finnubar opened his mouth, and finally nodded in agreement: "We always have to wait until the end of the war. "
"Okay, let's continue." The war council started arguing again, and Finnubar turned back into Kodak.
The sky in Lothern today is also so blue.
Another day of peace!
At the same time, there is a vast ocean off the coast of Ulthuan.
A huge combined fleet consisting of four undead fleets of forty-five warships and a dark elf fleet, including twelve dark elf warships in a black ark, was slowly approaching Ulthuan.
The king of the undead pirate empire, Earl Noctilus stood proudly on the bow of his flagship ship, the three-kilometer-long super giant ship "Blood Marauder", and gave orders: "Forward, boys, prepare to start our war! and plunder!"
"The code name of this operation is Vengeance!"
