Chapter 424 Magic Ship
After defeating the enemy's flying units, Richard and Sylph rushed out with the infantry.
The elf archer that Sylph had subdued took the lead, and at the same time he unfurled his bow and arrow, and opened the enchanted crossbow.
The elves are living in the East Coast Province, almost defenseless. Only a few lucky elves can find some magic trees and make some simple enchanted weapons. Although many elves have high professional levels, they do not have sophisticated enchanted armors. , magic crossbows, and fifth-level elves may not be opponents of third-level warriors.
Although the East Coast Province has 300 elves, it lacks weapons and armor and is no match for the Yunhai Slave Catching Group.
When Richard and Harland led the elite troops to come for reinforcements, they had considered this in advance and brought a large number of enchanted crossbows and super-magic armors. The combat effectiveness of the fully armed elves has almost tripled.
There are more than 280 elf archers, and the lethality of using magic bows and crossbows has been extremely outstanding.
In an instant, enchanted arrows were shot out from the camp, smashing the array of the Yunhai Slave Catching Group into pieces. Although the soldiers of the Yunhai Slave Catching Regiment were all equipped with enchanted shields, after the first round of arrows, there were still about thirty or forty people killed or injured.
The slave-catching group under Rick has less than 800 soldiers in total, and more than 100 of them are crew members. They will not easily get off the ship to fight. There are 120 officers and soldiers left on the ship to guard the captured elves. slave.
Before entering the waters of Grant Kingdom, Rick's troops had been active in the Eastern Continent for nine months, defeating two small and one medium-sized elf tribes, and captured 260 female elf slaves alive.
The Yunhai Slave Catching Group originally planned to return directly to the Sith Kingdom and send these elven female slaves back to the Holy Radiant Empire. However, they accidentally heard that there were scattered elven tribes along the coast of the Grant Kingdom, so they turned around and came here.
Unexpectedly, the first time he moved in this sea area, he kicked the iron plate and provoked the Harland Territory and Sylph Department.
In addition to the soldiers guarding the magic ship, there were about 600 soldiers under Rick's command who entered the Black River estuary to capture slaves. Thirty of the Griffin cavalrymen had been killed in the battle, and the remaining soldiers were only 570. A round of arrow rain killed and injured thirty or forty people. The Yunhai Slave Catching Regiment simply could not bear the heavy casualties.
Seeing that the elves were about to draw their bowstrings for the second time, the archers of the Yunhai Slave Catching Group took action one after another, and the accompanying magicians also released a large number of spells.
Within Richard's sight, more than ten fireballs flew out of the enemy's formation.
Seeing that the mages of the Yunhai Slave Catching Group had already taken action, Harland led the mage group and also released spells one after another.
Today, there are more than fifty third-level magicians in the Harland Territory Mage Association. Although some of them are engaged in magic research within the territory, there are only about thirty third-level magicians in the military mage group. The power of the mage controlled by Richard is far beyond that of the Yunhai Slave Catching Group.
A large number of fireballs collided in the air, making violent explosions. Fire dragons scattered in the air, and soldiers were constantly burned and killed by the emerging flames.
Because the magic power was inferior to that of his opponent, Rick's men suddenly suffered numerous casualties.
Seeing that many people on his own side had been burned, Adrian led the medical team to continuously transport the wounded soldiers down and gather them for treatment.
The magic doctors under Adrian also released medical skills for the wounded.
Undine was placed in the rear by Richard because of her pregnancy. She had the legendary magic tool Life Staff in her hand. When she releases the Life Spell, the power can be doubled and the spell consumption is reduced by about half.
Undine is already an eighth-level magician with just over 40 points of mental power. She has awakened her powerful spell-casting talent. The healing spells she releases are four times more effective than ordinary magicians and cost only about half.
Seeing Adrian sending down more than 20 burned soldiers at once, Undine immediately released the group healing technique.
In an instant, a large amount of life force spurted out from the life staff, and the milky white magic light penetrated into the wounded soldier's body, easily suppressing the injury.
Harland's side has good medical treatment, and not many soldiers were burned or burned. On the Yunhai Slave Catching Regiment's side, about a hundred people were burned to death or burned.
Because the wounded soldiers could not be transported, the miserable cries affected the fighting will of other soldiers, and they showed their defeat in a short time.
During the battle, Richard planned to release the star bomb, but he soon discovered that the enemy could not withstand Harland's offensive.
Although the Yunhai Slave Catching Corps is also an army of all-professionals and is very well-equipped, there are also a large number of good soldiers in this army. But compared with the elite leaders selected from the entire army by Harland, they were slightly inferior after all.
In this battle, Harland led the Flying Dragon Knights. Each flying dragon was a high-level monster, coupled with the power of the knights. The power of one bipedal flying dragon knight is equivalent to that of a ninth-level warrior, and fifty bipedal flying dragon knights are equivalent to fifty ninth-level warriors working together.
The strength of the Griffin Knights is also very impressive. It is roughly equivalent to a sixth-level knight. Eighty-six Griffin Knights are equivalent to an elite knight group fighting.
In addition, Harland led the legendary elf Sylph. Her power alone was equivalent to that of a dozen high-level professionals working together.
Richard himself is equivalent to a legendary magician. Although Sophia, Wendy, and Sylph are not as good as Richard, their mental power also exceeds forty points. They have awakened powerful spellcasting, and their magic power multiplier talents are much better than regular ones. The nine-ring magicians are all superior.
Wilde, Driffin, Eve and other high-level professionals, there are about a dozen people in total. In addition, under the control of the Harland Mage Corps, fifty steel golems also joined the battle.
The trump cards were turned over one by one, and the soldiers led by Rick could not stop them at all. Less than ten minutes after the two sides fought, Rick was killed by Sylph, and the top leaders of the Yunhai Slave Hunting Corps also died at the hands of Harland's professionals.
The high-level professionals died in the battle, and there were also two-legged dragon knights and lion-duck cavalry watching covetously. The remaining officers and soldiers of the slave-catching corps could only surrender.
The battle did not take long, and the battle was over. Harland's soldiers began to clean up the battlefield and count the prisoners.
About two hours later, Richard's adjutant Green came to the command center.
"Is the battlefield cleaned up? How are our casualties?" Seeing Green come in, Richard raised his head and asked.
Green had a very good memory and answered accurately: "In this battle, we suffered 46 casualties, including 13 deaths and 33 injuries. Most of the wounded were burned. They have all been treated with healing spells and can recover after a period of recuperation after the battle."
"We should have captured a lot of spoils in this battle, right?"
"You guessed right, Your Excellency the Duke. In this battle, we captured 14 lion ducks, 600 sets of enchanted armor, and nearly 312 prisoners. These prisoners are all professionals with very high quality. Among them, there are 40 mid-level professionals. Six people, two high-level professionals, and 67 magicians. If these people are willing to pay the ransom, it is worth about 300,000 gold coins. "
Hearing Green say this, Richard waved his hand and said: "We are very far away from the Kingdom of Sith, about 1,800 kilometers. We don't need to infiltrate the Dukedom of Sith in a short time. It's useless to ask for the gold coins of the Kingdom of Sith.
Unless the Kingdom of Sith is willing to exchange magic crystals and enchanted armor, I will not release the captives. "
After defeating the enemy and cleaning up the battlefield, Richard will naturally not stop.
The large magic ship of the Yunhai Slave Catcher Group is still docked in the southern part of the East Coast Province. Now that the land team led by Rick has been eaten, the magic ship is empty. Richard plans to draw elite troops to seize control of the large magic ship in one fell swoop.
The Harland Territory does not have the inheritance of making magic ships, but according to Richard's understanding, magic ships and wizard towers should have similarities. This time, seizing the magic ship can just reverse the magic ship manufacturing structure.
After annihilating Rick's army in the morning, Richard let the soldiers rest for half a day. In the afternoon, Richard, Sylph and Harland led the elite soldiers to move out of the camp.
This time, in order to be quick, Richard planned to take a magic hot air balloon and take a small number of elite soldiers to eliminate the opponent unexpectedly.
The place where the large magic ship of the Yunhai Slave Catching Group was docked was located in the southern part of the East Coast Province, about 200 kilometers away from the mouth of the Black River.
Now is the season for snow crystal fish to return to spawn. Whether it is a deep-sea monster or a magic ship, it dare not approach the mouth of the Black River in this season.
Although it was late at night, it took only four hours for the flying troops to appear about ten kilometers near the magic ship. If it were not for towing the magic hot air balloon, the two-legged dragon and the lion duck cavalry would only need two hours to engage in battle.
Richard led 300 people to the vicinity of the magic ship. At four o'clock in the middle of the night, when the magic ship was most relaxed, the flying lion duck took the lead.
There were already lion ducks on the Yunhai Slave Catchers' magic ship. When they saw the thirty lion duck cavalrymen, they thought they were their own people. Without paying attention, the thirty lion duck cavalrymen penetrated the protection of the magic crossbow and landed on the deck.
After the first batch of lion ducks landed, the wyverns and lion duck cavalrymen attacked one after another.
Richard and Sylph, the two most powerful professionals, also acted as attacking arrows.
In an instant, the magic ship was in chaos. The Yunhai Slave Catchers on the ship hurriedly started the energy room and released the spells installed on the magic ship.
Richard held the flame staff and continuously shot fireballs. Richard had awakened the two talents of flame body and powerful spellcasting talent. With the blessing of the flame staff, the power of the fireball spell consumed half of the power of the standard magic, and the lethality of the fireball spell increased by about 3.5 times.
According to the standards set by the magicians of the Dawn Plane, the three-ring magic fireball requires 30 points of magic power and has a destructive power of about 50 degrees. Richard, holding a flame staff, only needs to consume 15 points of magic power, and the destructive power of the spell released is about 180 degrees. The lethality is slightly higher than that of the standard eight-ring magic.
Richard released the fireball very quickly, and released nine big fireballs in an instant. He only consumed 135 points of magic power, and the strength of the spell released has exceeded the legendary first-level magic nine-star chain.
The nine big fireballs hit the magic ship's protective shield fiercely, and a violent explosion broke out instantly. The red light was like a blooming flower, and the huge air wave pushed the magic ship dozens of meters away.
In an instant, the magic ship's protective shield shattered, and the magic crystal furnace suddenly stopped and extinguished. If you want to start it again, you need to replace three thousand magic crystals, which takes a long time.
Before the captain of the magic ship restarted the furnace, Sylph had seized the opportunity and rushed into the magic ship.
Sylph is a legendary elf with outstanding melee lethality. Under her command, 30 lion-duck knights worked together to quickly defeat the enemy's resistance.
Harland's army captured the magic ship with almost no casualties and rescued the elven slave girls imprisoned at the bottom of the ship.
These elven slave girls who lost their tribes and were in the middle continent surrounded by crises could only rely on and submit to Sylph.
After this battle, Sylph subdued more than 540 elves, and the strength of the Morning Elves was already quite impressive.
Together with several small tribes in the north of the East Coast Province and the elves in the Harland Territory, Sylph has about 600 elves under her command.
After seizing the magic ship, Sylph brought all the rescued elves to the Black River estuary, and Sutton led a group of soldiers to escort the captives back to Fort William. As for the captured magic ship, because the snow crystal fish returned to spawn, it could not be driven back to the interior of Harland Territory for a while, and only a small number of magicians could be left to do research.
Through the captured magic ship, Richard has determined that the core of the magic ship is the magic crystal furnace.
The magic crystal furnace is a type of energy furnace. The Dawn Plane mastered the magic crystal furnace, elemental furnace, and eternal furnace during the wizard civilization period. These three furnaces can be used to build interstellar battleships and floating cities. They are the most advanced technologies of the wizard civilization at that time and represent the crystallization of the wizard civilization of the Dawn Plane.
In more than a decade, Harland Territory has mastered the remains of a floating city, and based on this fallen ruins, it rebuilt the Flame Tower. Richard and other magicians also mastered some element furnace manufacturing technology from the information left by the Venus family.
Shortly thereafter, Richard combined his experience in his previous life and created the elemental magic discipline in the Dawn Plane, creatively proposed the magic energy particle theory, and greatly advanced the element furnace manufacturing technology. It’s just that there is no high temperature and radiation resistant materials, and there is no energy core in hand, so there is no experiment to manufacture element furnaces.
Compared with element furnaces, energy furnaces are easier to manufacture, but Harland Territory does not have energy furnace manufacturing technology.
This time, after seizing the magic ship, Harland Territory magicians can use reverse engineering methods to copy the magic crystal furnace. Mastering the magic crystal furnace actually means mastering the most commonly used energy furnace.
The task of researching and copying the magic crystal furnace was handed over to the research team led by Richard. Sophia, Undine, Wendy, Eve and other senior mages all stayed to help Richard.
In fact, the core technology of the entire magic ship is the magic crystal furnace. The other rune technologies have already been mastered by the Harland Mage Association. The initial work of Richard and others was to dismantle the magic crystal furnace by violent means and study the rune structure of the magic crystal furnace. In fact, the Harland Mage Association already has a strong foundation for studying this technology.
