Chapter 856 Shock

"The Lord of Dream Soldiers!"

Orlando repeated a few words, as if he wanted to engrave this name in his heart.

"please!"

The businessman opened the door and made a gesture of please.

Orlando took a deep breath and walked into the living room.

"Captain Orlando?"

The hall was very empty. On the opposite wall hung a black bear skin and two tanned elk head specimens.

A middle-aged man with green hair was wearing a Chinese robe, leisurely adding sugar and milk to his coffee.

At this moment, he raised his head and smiled brightly at Orlando: "Would you like a cup of coffee from Pandandi?"

"Thank you, Your Excellency Donald!"

Orlando picked up the coffee cup unceremoniously, sat on the chair directly, and looked at Donald intently.

The two looked at each other, and they both had the same feeling.

After all, they are not only spellcasters, but also have a deep relationship with Fang Yuan, the master of the dream soldier.

"It's time to call me Sir Donald..." Donald corrected Orlando's little mistake: "I have just been conferred the title of Lord by the Queen. Of course, the news hasn't spread much yet."

"Okay...Sir Donald, from now on, are you the middleman between me and the Navy?"

Orlando kept looking at Donald.

Of course, he wanted to ask more about the Dream Soldier Lord, but he held back.

"Yes, at present, in order to maintain our kingdom's maritime supremacy, we urgently need people like you, Captain, to join us..."

Donald said it very directly: "We need you to stop the ocean exploration of the countries on the continent of Offal, especially Sissel, they are developing too fast! Of course, when necessary, we also need you as a civilian force, Assist the navy to encircle some pirates, such as Blackbeard!"

"Blackbeard, haha... Did I hear you right? Could it be that today is the God of Deceit's holiday?"

Orlando jumped up exaggeratedly, and immediately took out an apple from the basket unceremoniously, and took a crisp bite: "Do you know the true strength of Blackbeard? He is the pirate governor of the Nightmare Sea, and he has an army of over ten thousand There are three island nations directly serving him and under his control, and they are the largest slave merchant in the offshore, and they even have the legendary pirate ship—the Monster! Even if Insman's Royal Fleet attacks, it will not be in the Sea of ​​Nightmares. It must be Blackbeard's opponent!"

"Thank you for your explanation, Mr. Orlando, do you know much about Blackbeard?" Donald smiled disdainfully, and stood up: "But your understanding of the Royal Navy is too superficial, even five years ago , come... let me show you something!"

He stood up, put on his coat, and led Orlando to the other side of the pier.

All the docks here are warships, and there are a large number of sailors checking on the road. If Donald hadn't shown his identity, Orlando probably wouldn't be able to sneak in at all.

"Hiss..."

And when he got there, after seeing the huge steel ships, the only thing Orlando could do was to take a deep breath.

What appeared in front of him were extremely huge steel ships, casting huge shadows, covering the sky and covering the sun, like hills, oppressing all living beings.

"Such a big... Such a big ship is made of steel. How could it not sink to the bottom of the sea? Are they all magical ships? No... No... They don't have the slightest breath of magic..."

Orlando murmured, his eyes fascinated, and he carried very complicated emotions.

At this time, the ships on the ocean, except for those special legendary ships, even the largest first-class battleship, are only a hundred meters long, with a displacement of three thousand tons, and a speed of no more than 20 knots.

This kind of standard is already a seven-masted galleon, the limit of ordinary wooden sailboats in the ocean at this time!

But what about here? Any ship is more than 150 meters long, with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, and the hull is even bigger than a wooden sailboat.

Take it out and compare it casually, it's like a strong man and a child.

"Impossible... Even if the ship made of steel doesn't sink, what about its power..."

Orlando is worthy of being an old pirate, and he saw the most realistic problem again.

In naval battles, speed is extremely important. As long as the speed is superior to others, you can fight and escape, and firmly grasp the initiative.

Otherwise, it is to send oneself to the enemy in vain.

"Have you... ever heard of a steam engine?"

Donald laughed: "In order to meet the growing production needs of the colony, Insman's research on steam engines is definitely the first on the mainland. As for the power of the ships at this time, let me tell you, when they run, There is no need for sailors to paddle at all. Of course, you may be more aware of it in another way... That is, their speed is generally above 20 knots, and 25 knots is also common! Maybe they can't catch up with the pirate prince's wanderer number', but the monster number will never run away..."

Donald explained confidently.

Orlando closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Just by seeing the iron armor covering those ships, he already knew the result of the sea battle with ordinary pirates. If the speed is so fast, there is no doubt that the power at sea is about to usher in a big reshuffle.

And the initiative is in the hands of Insman!

The appearance of the steam ironclad ship is the roar of this ocean hegemony kingdom to the new world!

The leisurely days of the pirates have passed too long, and a new era is coming!

"Ha ha……"

Orlando was silent for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha...very good! Trickster Roach, you wait for me..., it won't be long, and I will stand in front of you again!"

...

"Boss, according to the information we got from the pirate port we stopped at, your bounty has been doubled to 30,000 Galleons!"

nightmare sea.

The Red Lotus took the lead, followed by the Slave and two other sailboats, with full sails, able to run at a speed of 17 knots.

On the deck, Wilson respectfully reported to Fang Yuan.

"Um……"

Fang Yuan was lying on the soft chair, half of his face was covered by his hat, and he made casual noises, looking very bored.

Although in the eyes of ordinary pirates, this speed is already very fast, but in Fang Yuan's view, it is no different from crawling with a turtle.

"I'm afraid... the whole world will be shocked when Insman's new steam ironclad ship enters service?"

Steam engines are not Insman's specialty, and even steam ships are like this.

But there is no doubt that this maritime power has gone the deepest and farthest in terms of steam armored ships.

The resulting first-mover advantage is enough to leave competitors behind for two or three years—this is basically the time it takes for a steamship to be launched from the beginning of construction. Even magic cannot save the lagging behind in overall strength.

In other words, even if all of Insman's craftsmen, design drawings, and even the entire relocation of the factory are obtained now, it is completely too late.

"If it was the world in the previous life, relying on this huge advantage, coupled with technical blockade and policy support, it would be enough to completely establish the status of Insman's maritime empire and maintain its hegemony for decades... But it is a pity that this is a world full of people. A world of extraordinary power! Even steam ironclad ships are not as powerful as extraordinary ships... However, the victory lies in energy production, which is an absolute advantage."

The power accumulated by Insman broke out and disabled a pirate governor without any problem.

Fang Yuan reckoned that it was almost time for Donald to publish another book on sea power.

"Speaking of which, the Insman Royal Navy is showing its power, and the first unlucky one is definitely Blackbeard!"

After all, the first piece of the golden route is the Nightmare Sea. Blackbeard, the governor of the Nightmare Sea, can't escape at all, and he can't run away!

Once it has its own source of logistics, although its war potential is greatly improved, it also loses the flexibility of the original pirates.

Just like Blackbeard himself, even if he has an army of tens of thousands of pirates, if he loses those island countries, he will definitely not be able to support the tens of thousands of pirates, collapse is the only ending.

"At this dangerous time, Blackbeard still wants to fight the pirate prince. Why?"

Fang Yuan pondered.

Don't underestimate any Pirate Governor.

Although the information on the steam ironclad ship is classified, Blackbeard has great powers and can always get some vague information.

At this time, he still took the risk of fighting against the pirate prince - of course, this may be because of the old hatred, and he couldn't stop, but the motive is really open to discussion.

"Could it be that Blackbeard wants to seize some territory from the Pirate Prince and manage a retreat in the Golden Sea... Or maybe the Pirate Prince has mastered some of the mysteries of the steam ironclad ship, but he is unwilling to trade it, which angered Blackbeard?"

Edward the Pirate Prince!

He is the pirate governor of the Golden Sea. It is rumored that he is a very charming young man. His smile can fascinate even mermaids.

Moreover, the flagship that Edward is driving, the Wanderer, is also a legendary pirate ship. It is rumored that it has the blessing of the speed god, which can make it run faster than all ships.

Edward, who owns the Wanderer, is like an elf in the wind, free and casual.

As it should be, such a person, even if there are some subordinates, must not be as cohesive and organized as Blackbeard's fleet.

Therefore, even with the support and solidarity of some other forces, in this contest between the pirate prince and Blackbeard, Edward was still at a disadvantage.

Under such circumstances, the pirate prince should welcome the new force, right?

Fang Yuan thought for a while and asked directly, "How long will it take for us to reach the Golden Sea..."

"We have come to the border of the Nightmare Sea. According to the navigation chart provided by Sisfrey, as long as we pass the Thunder Prison in front, we can reach the Golden Sea!"

Wilson bowed and said, "The Golden Sea is a land of abundance, and there are many plantations and colonies opened by Insman..."

"Attention, there are ships coming after you!"

At this moment, Helga on the observation deck issued a warning, which made Wilson tremble.
