Chapter 165 Thunder and Silver Wheel (2)

On the west side of Jingyue Strait, Banguo Island.

This small island in the strait, still in the ocean further west than Hopelander, is now at the rear of the war.

"Master Black, Master Lund is here."

In a giant shipyard on the island, Blake stood under the giant battleship that was about to be completed, looked up, and felt emotional.

It's almost 5 years now. Leaving from Hopelander and coming to this small island to perform a mission, time flies so fast.

He was just an orphan in Hopeland, who was adopted by the Karites family and became a bodyguard, and then was promoted by Miss Lacey, and finally grew to this position. Unconsciously, he has experienced so many things.

I still remember Miss Lacey calling him into the office that day, asking him about his ambitions and future plans, and then explaining her mission.

"Although we have gained independence and signed a contract with Frost United, this is just a short-term truce. With the support of Dayas Chamber of Commerce, Frost United's steel battleship will explore and realize it step by step." Lorenci As Er said so, her light-colored pupils were like clear crystals.

"And we Karites can't fall behind, and even have to make arrangements in advance to prepare for possible future wars."

"So, I need someone I can trust to do the hard work."

"Black is willing to follow the will of the eldest lady." He got down on one knee and swore to promise.

Afterwards, Miss Lacey gave him thick blueprints, numerous materials, heritage gems, and even a panacea to improve his own strength, so that a year later, he entered Sequence 5, and now he has just been promoted to Rank 5. Sequence 6.

Over the years, he has also traveled to and from the island and around the island, purchasing various materials, and then handing them over to technicians. Under his witness, he built this giant shipyard step by step, and then spent several years gradually perfecting it. Several giant warships.

Until today, these steel battleships have not been fully built.

"Master Lund is here." A guard came in to report, and then a man in a gray-black coat came over.

There is still some dust and oil on his clothes and hands. Most people can't see the demeanor of a master, but only the staff here know that this alchemist has studied the battleship technology assiduously, and has a deep understanding and understanding that is unimaginable to outsiders.

In order to test the best hull structure, he led his apprentices to do hundreds of thousands of experiments in the nearby waters, and built model and experimental ships one after another. Until the birth of the last three battleships.

"Is there anything Mr. Black is looking for from me?" Although Lund is the chief technical officer of the island, as Miss Lacey's agent, Black is in charge of everything and has a higher status.

"Miss Lacey wrote a letter recently, here it is." Blake had nothing to hide about Loren Hill's instructions.

Lund took the letter and watched it carefully.

The letter tells Black and Lund that the Berry Kingdom has now agreed to a full alliance with Crancia, and that Karites and New Verga will also be involved. After the three battleships are reorganized, they will be launched directly to the front line, where they will join the fleet of the Youngberry Kingdom, and then fight against the combined fleet of Frostbite.

"Is this day finally here?" Lund sighed.

Although he was born in the Frost and Frost Union, because of his poverty and being in a small faction, he was ostracized and despised a lot, and then he led the students to migrate to Verga. After many years, I finally went to the opposite side of the former country.

But now in the Ivar world, the concept of family and country is not prominent, and he didn't receive any favors when he was in Ruerna, and he moved away with his family after that, so he wouldn't feel uncomfortable because of it. Just sigh that things are impermanent, and the fate of life is very different.

The third-rate alchemist who was ignored and looked down upon in Rourna before, has now turned over to become the technical chief of the Karites Chamber of Commerce. If the war is won, he can get a good position in the country after that. It was unimaginable for him.

"I see, I'll let the apprentices and juniors take care of it." He looked at the giant battleship in front of him that was towering close to the dome, stepped forward, slowly approached, and then gently stroked the hard steel hull .

When the Youngberry Kingdom was still using sail-driven warships, the Frostbite United had begun to use sail and tail rotor hybrid ironclad warships. Its shape is probably similar to the battleships of the early modern times that Roland Hill remembers.

The outer layer has a thick wrought iron shell, and there is a teak wood partition more than half a meter thick in the middle to relieve impact and shells. There are several layers of steel structure on the innermost side, which is an iron-clad warship mixed with wood and steel.

The technology left by Roland Hill was aimed at the classic design of World War I in memory from the beginning, the template of the dreadnought ship, to improve. From the outset, the bulky and wind-catching mast sails were abandoned, and the propulsion was purely based on the powerful propeller at the rear.

The size of the warship has also been stretched to more than 200 meters, with a displacement of many tons. There are two sets of magic steam turbines inside. The speed can reach up to 28 knots. It can also travel at a speed of 20 knots in normal times, far exceeding the average speed of the current Frost and Frost combined with an average speed of 18 knots. ferry.

The bottom of the hull adopts sealed compartments, and the armor structure is optimized. There are five double 300mm caliber main turrets on the hull. Its main gun was originally designed as an ordinary magic gun. But last year, Lorraine Hill sent a new design drawing based on the data from the Twilight Era.

The esoteric patterns and theories in it are still not fully digested by Lund. Fortunately, he only needs to draw a gourd according to the scoop. No matter what the meaning of the pattern, as long as he can run, it seems to be fine.

And this is far more than the Lord of the Frost Union

Cannon, [Breakout Cannon] (Evaluation: Rare Pearl Grade) was created. This is also the best combination that Roland Hill can make after using the system to estimate.

She knows that there are many extremely advanced technologies and weapons in the Twilight Era, but at present, due to the fact that a series of industrial chains such as basic materials, personnel, facilities, etc. have not been completed, she can only sigh and keep it in the system for the time being.

"Has Miss Lacey decided on the names of the three battleships?" Lund asked suddenly.

"Well, they are the first ship, Aglaia, the second ship, Talia, and the third ship, Euphronne, that is, the three goddesses of beauty."

With the launch of the three 'Dreadnought' battleships, a thousand crew members from the Karites Chamber of Commerce boarded the battleship, gradually became familiar with it under the guidance of the technical officer, and then streaked a long light blue wake on the sea, thinking about the southeast Sail away in the direction of the Youngberry Kingdom.

——————

A week later, Jingyue Strait.

"Report Lord Black, enemy troops are found ahead!"

In the spacious and light-colored command tower, Blake had not yet fully adapted to this new warship, and the sound of warning came from the trumpet on the side.

"It seems that the other party didn't give us time to prepare this time, Master Lund." Black said to the alchemist beside him in a purple and white military uniform.

"Indeed, but it's just time to experiment with our results." Lund looked at the surging waves outside the window, and his heart was surging. A desire to prove himself and thoughts swirled in his mind.

He also wanted those who used to look down on others to be surprised and feel the unparalleled power of this battleship.

"The main gun is ready." Black said at the horn on the side.

"Yes!" A series of neat responses came from the pipe.

The heavy and oppressive large main turret slowly turned. With the constant focusing and adjustment of the collimator, the muzzle of the main gun slowly sagged, aiming at the iron armored fleet in the distance. The new-style magic furnace in the battleship also continued to charge, and complex and exquisite enchantment patterns appeared on the gun barrels, and the shells gradually turned red and then blazing yellow.

"Fire!"

A dull vibration sounded from the muzzle, and the huge recoil force made the multi-ton warship tilt slightly, and then a few blazing red radiant gold cannonballs directly broke through the atmosphere and penetrated directly for several kilometers with terrifying power. The enemy ships outside will explode directly, forming rising fragments and flames.

"how is this possible?"

On the ironclad ship of Frost and Frost United, a high-level mage was unbelievable. He stared blankly at the battleship that was surging and burning on the sea, and then slowly sinking.

As an elite mage of the major faction of Rourna, he has always been proud of the technology possessed by the country. Where did the battleship with the purple flower and the starlight banner come from, how could it have such a powerful magic gun, and that A warship several times its own size.

Is that the masterpiece of the Young Moon Council? But don't they reject machinery and steel, what the hell is going on? Countless questions swirled in my mind, but there was no time to think about it at the moment.

The terrifying cannons on the opposite battleship spewed fire one after another, and the fiery red shells shot through with astonishing power.

Even if the light blue barriers were raised on the ship's body, they were blown through by the heavy hammer of this god-like rage, allowing countless water to flow in, and finally the ship gradually sank.

"Counterattack, fightback! Counterattack!"

A naval commander shouted eagerly at the artillery crew in the battleship, his face flushed with excitement.

bang bang-

As the artillery engraved with the magic pattern sounded, the 40 artillery pieces of the ship fired sequentially from the back to the front.

But unfortunately, most of them fell into the sea before they reached the three warships, and they could only splash with no splashes.

"Damn, speed up!"

The general of the Ironclad Fleet became angry, and asked his flagship to raise a special signal flag, and then fully operated the magic furnace to increase the propulsion, and wanted to drive forward.

On the Karites side, the observer reported the situation to the flagship of the head after seeing it.

"Lord Black, the other party hastened to chase after him."

"Then we also speed up and try to get rid of them and keep our distance."

As a result, the two fleets launched a tense and exciting chase at sea, with more than 30 ironclad ships on one side, breaking through the waves and advancing toward the southwest. On the other hand, the three Aglaia-class battleships crossed a long arc in the sea, constantly shelling the enemy ships behind them.

Compared with the ironclad fleet that can only chase the enemy directly with the bow, the three Aglaia-class battleships can not only maintain the range and superior distance, but also have more energy to swing the arc, so that their hulls are inclined T-shaped. Keep bombarding each other.

"Do not!"

In the chasing iron armored fleet, one warship after another burst under the fire of the other party, shattered wrought iron and wood chips flew, and a huge orange-yellow flame ball was raised, and then sank into the icy abyss.

Such scenes were staged again and again, causing the crew and mages in the fleet to gradually break down. They also tried to let a few mages lift off to raid the other's warships, but unfortunately, before the floating mages approached, they were smashed into pieces by the dense secondary artillery in the air, turning into a human-shaped fireworks, and finally falling into the sea .

And just as the general of the ironclad fleet struggled and hesitated to retreat, a high-level mage advisor beside him stepped forward and said.

"Sir, our reinforcements are here."

Over the three Aglaia-class battleships, layers of dark clouds broke open, and one after another was iron gray.

The colored airships drilled out of them, and the flanks of these airship sails and the wisps of water mist had not yet dissipated, leaving long trail wakes in the air.

And with the arrival of the 200-odd airship cluster, the huge and layered shadows shrouded the three warships that set sail for the first time as small as fingers.

The sky seemed to have suddenly darkened, and the roar of the huge propellers reverberated in the sky, like a heavy gray sky falling, and the intense and dense supernatural magic fluctuations made the crew of the three battleships feel the suffocating terror pressure.

There are dozens of mages in place on each airship, and in this airship cluster, there are more than 3,000 mages of the magic sequence. Among them, there are even elites of Sequence 6-7, and they can even feel the magic. Sequence 8 and above are present.

In order to deal with the powerful Youngberry Kingdom, Frost and Frost United transferred its key force to the Jingyue Strait, striving to block and defeat this fellow from the south, which is another Mage lineage left by the Oz Kingdom.

One after another, the oscillating red cannonballs shot furiously into the sky from the turret, and were then resisted by the incomparably vast chain array.

Thousands of mages cast spells at the same time, and a blue magic array is formed in the sky. The vast and complex patterns are like a new sky.

bang bang—

The shattered shells exploded in the sky like fireworks, and then fell, spilling over the deck and the sea below.

Blake stepped out of the bridge, he looked up at the airship that filled the sky, stretched out his hand to block the falling sparks and ash, clenched his fist, and then let it go weakly.

"Even with years of preparation and the advantage of technology, is it impossible to resist such a huge national advantage?"

The airships that were hanging in the air opened the hatches below, and began to extend their gun barrels to aim at the three weak and lonely battleships below. The muzzles gradually turned from dark to orange, and gradually charged.

And just as the crew on the battleship slowly despaired, a flash of light lit up on the edge of the sky, followed by a roar of thunder.

"Has there been thunder? This time."

A mage in the ironclad fleet looked up casually, and the warships under him had already stopped chasing, quietly watching the destruction of the three enemy ships in the distance.

At dusk, under the thick and almost pitch-black lead cloud, a galloping lightning bolt rushed in the sky. It was a figure that was almost deformed. His body seemed to be made of golden electric light. Growing Razer. The terrifying coercion from this terrifying electric light truly conveys the mighty power of the Transcendent Sequence Nine.

The blazing magic power in this golden electric light is like a sharp arrow, piercing the stagnant gray sky, straight into the layered dark airships above the sea.

And a spreading ripple suddenly rose in the airship cluster.

A man in an elegant robe appeared in the sky, his short black hair gradually whitening in the continuous emergence and release of magic, and then into a blazing white-blue. Another sage of Magic Sequence 9 appeared.

"Secrets of Time and Space III: Stagnation."

A huge clock disc emerges in the sky where the airship is located, showing extremely precise gears and hands, and then there are 6 small clock discs inside. As the hands rotate, everything around it seems to freeze.

If the air is compared to clear water, and now the water seems to be frozen, in Blake's perception, everything seems to have become extremely slow, he wants to open his mouth to say something, but after a long time, the teeth are slightly away from the lower jaw a few millimeters.

The shot shell had just left the muzzle and slowly slid in the air, not much faster than the snail. He could clearly see the pattern on it and the spreading air waves.

The propellers on the airship in the sky also seemed to stop turning, and everything became quiet.

And when the blazing lightning plunged into the stagnant gray sky, it was like shattering countless pieces of glass, and a noisy trajectory swayed in the quiet space like dead water.

"Ulevis, it's you." The man in the sky looked at the gradually clear thunder light, and the face in it allowed him to determine the identity of the visitor.

"Long time no see, pointer Clark of the Silver Wheel."

Although the words on the lips were soothing and peaceful, the lightning flashed suddenly in the sky.

click————

A shocking thunder light blew up the dense lead cloud in the sky, breaking the almost silent space with the most forceful force. The propeller turned again in the moonlight, and the world seemed to suddenly have a sound again.

But the battle didn't end there, the sky's clock disc appeared again, its color was silver, transparent and cold, and when its hands turned, the two hundred airships in the sky suddenly disappeared, and then reappeared.

"Secrets of Time and Space II: Transfer."

Layers of airships were arranged in a huge ring in the sky, surrounding the golden electric light in the center. The muzzle on the airship suddenly opened fire. The dense fire was connected together. The sound was so dense that it was impossible to distinguish the interval. The cathartic artillery fire converged towards the center. , as if drawing a dense pattern pointing to the center of the circle in the sky.

And just when the light flashed again, another sage in the sky also spoke again.

"Secrets of Time and Space IV: Cutting"

The electric light in the center seemed to be briefly trapped in a small spherical space, and then submerged by countless firelights and cannonballs.

After a few seconds, the fire faded out and smoke filled the air. Just when some mages were rejoicing, one after another trembling purple electric sparks lit up on all airships, and then exploded.

accompanied by

Billowing black smoke, these airships fell into the sea, and the mages among them flew out of them like ants and fled in all directions.

The thunder light in the sky galloped again, carrying the natural power of heaven and earth to break through all obstacles.

And the silver roulette also turned again, and the secret techniques passed down from the ancient witch were cast in turn to capture the mighty thunder light that wandered between the heavens and the earth with the body of a human being.

Electric fire overflowed, thunder tore through layers of space, the hour hand turned, and the pointer on the silver wheel moved backwards.

——And now, Thunder and Yinlun are at a stalemate.
