Chapter 1205 Steel Monster
Moreover, if he has no more men, he can recruit them again, but the six warships using alchemical power were destroyed, and Blackbeard has no way to build the same warships. TXT e-book download**. Without such a warship, Blackbeard would not be able to return to his original state even if he gathered another force, which made him a little frustrated.
I heard that the Tower of Dusk was recruiting sailors. Although Blackbeard had been making a living at sea, he also knew that in the entire Breeze Plains, it seemed that the Tower of Dusk was the only one who dared not give the Kingdom of Jindo any face, so he brought Jack to report. name. On the one hand, he believes that as long as he hides on the ship in the Tower of Twilight, he can avoid being hunted by the Jindu Kingdom. On the other hand, he also had a faint hope in his heart, hoping that one day he could use the Tower of Dusk to recover the blood debt from the Kingdom of Jindu for his dead brothers.
However, Blackbeard did not expect that when he heard that the ship was named Star, he just casually said something, and the young ship owner actually caught him out. Of course, it was also at this time that he realized that the young man was actually the owner of the Tower of Twilight, the legendary superpower who had entered the realm of the Holy Realm.
After learning about Julio Blackbeard, Lin Li really didn't pay much attention to it. On the contrary, what Blackbeard said about the Star made him very interested. So when Julio drank the healing potion and began to recover his strength, Lin Li asked again: "Where did you know about the Star? Don't tell me any more myths and legends. I'm not listening here." I have heard the legend about the Star."
If we talk about myths and legends, they must have spread very widely. Not only are they well-known to every household, at least not a few people know about them. However, in this coastal area, I have never heard of any legends about the Star. Most of them are about down-and-out sailors going to sea to dig up treasures.
At this time, Julio has already felt that his injuries are recovering quickly, and it may not take long for his strength to return to the legendary level. Hearing Lin Li's question, he quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart, looked respectful, and said, "To tell you this, the legend about the Star is actually just a legend that has been passed down in our family from generation to generation. Legend. The ancestors of our family led this fleet to escape into a very secret channel in order to avoid being encircled and suppressed by the fleet of high elves."
Hearing Julio's words, Lin Li couldn't help but think of a sentence, "A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. The children of mice will know what kind of seedlings come out of these seeds. Julio's ancestor can actually Attracting a fleet of high-level elves to encircle and suppress him, he was obviously a pretty good pirate back then.
"However, just when they were about to get rid of the fleet of high elves, they encountered a very large warship. As a result, except for our ancestor, the entire fleet was instantly blown to pieces by the warship. Fortunately, later The fleet of high elves caught up, and our ancestor was lucky enough to escape. And then, he saw a very shocking scene. The powerful fleet of high elves, in front of that huge warship, should It is also vulnerable, and that warship is the Star." Julio did not notice Lin Li's strange expression, but told the legend very calmly. He must have listened to the elders talking too much back then, so his tone was also different. There was no movement at all.
When Julio said this, Lin Li's expression became even weirder, because it reminded him of his experience in the world created by Gresco. At that time, in order to test the firepower of the Star, he used an incoming pirate fleet as a target, and later also destroyed a fleet of high elves.
Hearing what Julio said, Lin Li couldn't help but have a wrong feeling in his head. Could it be that he was really sent thousands of years ago by Gresco and destroyed the pirate fleet of Julio's ancestor? Of course, Lin Li also knew that that was actually impossible. Not everyone can swim in the long river of time. It is said that only the Dragon of Time, one of the five guardian dragons, has that kind of ability. Apart from it, even the gods do not have that kind of power.
Lin Li could only say that everything he encountered in that world should have been preset by Gresco. In fact, it was like watching a movie, but the difference was that I participated in the world of the movie, but I was still just a bystander.
As for the legends Julio told, other than this, most of them were more conventional. They were nothing more than seeing the Star fighting some giant ocean beast, or some warship attacking the high elves, etc. There are almost a lot of these legends here along the coast. The only difference is that the protagonists have changed.
Putting aside the matter of the Star, Lin Li and Julio talked for a while about navigation. It must be said that Julio's ability to lead a pirate group on the endless sea for so many years is definitely not a fluke. Good luck can only be good for a while. No one can be favored by the God of Luck forever. The only one who can truly rely on oneself must have real ability.
Regarding navigation, Lin Li was still in theory, but Julio had been in the Endless Sea for so many years, and his experience in navigation was all gained in the wind and waves of the sea. To be honest, even the most famous navigator in Jindu Kingdom may not be able to compare with Julio.
Being able to obtain two experienced sailors, Julio and Jack, was a big gain for Lin Li. However, Lin Li could feel that even though Julio and Jack had always been respectful towards him, they might not necessarily agree with him as the captain in their hearts. Because when they spoke, they still only called themselves adults, but did not really call themselves ships.
However, Lin Li didn't care much about this. As long as these two people worked under him honestly, it didn't matter what he wanted to call himself.
Soon, the preparations for the Star's trial voyage were completed, and the sailors were familiar with the work they had to do under the guidance of the shipwrights. Although the Star sails with alchemical power and does not require sailors to adjust the sails, the sailors do not have nothing to do on the Star, and the work they do is far better than on other ships. More technology and experience are needed.
The trial voyage of the Star is not only to test the performance of the Star, but also to familiarize these sailors with the work on the Star. No matter how much experience these sailors had working on ships, they would probably be greatly reduced on the Star, so they still need to learn and practice many things again.
Finally, when everything was ready, the Star slowly drove out of the shipyard's dock under Lin Li's control, and the ferocious steel giant on the sea appeared in Alterland's harbor for the first time. This huge steel behemoth is four to five times larger than the giant alchemy ship of Jindu Kingdom. It is like a steel fortress moving on the sea.
Everyone who saw it at the port was stunned. Those who were slightly closer to the Star only felt that a huge black shadow covered the sky above their heads. Fortunately, preparations were made in the port during the trial voyage, leaving enough space for the appearance of the Star. Otherwise, just the excitement of the Star while sailing would be enough to cause a disaster in the port. .
"Oh my god, is this the new battleship built by the Dusk Tower? This is too exaggerated!" Many people couldn't help but exclaimed loudly. Although people coming and going from the port knew that the Tower of Dusk was building warships, no one could have imagined that the Tower of Dusk would build such a steel monster.
"Can this big guy really sail on the sea?" Some people also expressed doubts about the Star's sailing ability. In this era, people still think that ships should be made of wood. How can something as heavy as steel float on the sea? Although the emergence of the alchemy warships of the Kingdom of Jindu has gradually made people know that ships made of steel can also sail on the sea, but such a huge warship as the Star still somewhat subverts people's understanding.
At the same time, some people noticed the weapons on the Star, and they were immediately frightened and screamed: "Look, what is that? Is it a naval gun? One mén, two mén... If this is a salvo, I'm afraid one The fleet will be blown to pieces in an instant."
The magic crystal naval guns on the Star were all purchased from the Kingdom of Jindu during this period. Although the Kingdom of Jindu procrastinated and made many excuses, two magic crystal naval guns a month, a few months, The accumulation is enough to arm the Star. In addition to the magic crystal cannon, the Star is also equipped with other weapons, such as the magic crystal cannon produced by the dwarves, as well as a huge speargun launcher like a crossbow, etc.
Just like some people said, if all the weapons on the Star were fired at once, the power would be enough to destroy a coastal port city.
With such powerful firepower, let alone the naval fleets of Leding and France, even the fleet of the Kingdom of Jindu would not dare to attack the Star head-on.
And those can still be seen. There are many attack methods on the Star that people can't see, such as magic patterns, alchemy circles, etc. These attack methods are like a sharp sword in a sheath. Once it is unsheathed, it will become a nightmare for the enemy. Any enemy who ignores their existence will pay a heavy price.
The huge Star slowly sailed away from the port, headed towards the boundless sea, and began its first trial voyage. At the same time, in the port, spies from various forces also spread the news that the Tower of Dusk had built the Star as quickly as possible back to their respective forces.
Although in today's Qingfeng Plain, almost no force dares to openly oppose the Tower of Dusk. However, all the forces are still very concerned about some of the actions of the Twilight Tower. Therefore, as soon as the news of the construction of warships came out in the Twilight Tower, all the forces immediately sent spies to the Port of Alterland.
In fact, everyone is well aware of this fact, and the Tower of Dusk also knows that there will definitely be spies from various forces to find out the news. However, the Star will eventually appear in people's sight, so the Tower of Dusk does not mind too much about other forces' inquiries.
After the Star sailed away from the harbor, it did not sail further. Instead, it began testing the warship's various capabilities in the waters near the port. For example, the top speed of the battleship, the maneuverability of the battleship at sea, and of course the highlight is the test of the battleship's firepower system.
However, to test the fire system, it was impossible to be near the Port of Oatland. Although Lin Li didn't mind letting other forces know the firepower of the Star, he didn't want to destroy the environment near the Port of Oatlan for the sake of testing. To paraphrase a popular saying before time travel, "Even if it can't hit the children, it will still hit the Huāhuā grass." It’s not good.”
Just in the sea less than a hundred miles away from the Port of Alterland, there is an area covered with dense reefs, which is called the Sea of Death in Alterland itself. It is said that in the dark ages, a fleet of high elves sank in this sea area, and there are even legends of ghost ships haunting it. Of course, these things are not to be taken seriously. For ordinary people, anything that may be slightly dangerous will be infinitely exaggerated, and even related to a battle between gods and demons.
In line with the principle of no waste, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net Lin Li decided to test the firepower of the Star in this so-called sea of death. At the speed of the Star, it didn't take long to reach the edge of the Sea of Death after leaving the Port of Oatland. This sea of death is indeed a little different. The sea water elsewhere is blue, but here it feels a bit dark, a bit more sinister.
However, let alone Lin Li, a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, even experienced sailors would not take this seriously. Under Lin Li's order, the magic crystal naval gun on the Star began to charge first, and the muzzle pointed at a bare island in the middle of the Sea of Death.
Following an order, a dozen dazzling beams of light instantly shot out from the muzzle of a ménmén magic crystal naval gun. Under the light of the magic crystal cannons, even the sailors on the Star couldn't help but close their eyes tightly, for fear that their eyes would be blinded by the light. When they felt that the light disappeared, everyone carefully opened their eyes and looked in the direction of the target, but there was no island on the sea, only a huge whirlpool was left.
After the magic crystal naval gun, Lin Li tested the other attack methods on the Star one by one in this sea area. By the time the fire test was over, this so-called sea of death was still the same as before, as if the entire sea had been wiped out of thin air. 【To be continued
