Chapter 508 509. Ships on the Clouds
The dwarf apprentice told Roy that air supremacy is the most important factor restricting the development of magic airships.
If you don't control the sky in this area, don't try to open a route in this area.
The Green Empire was able to develop the shipping of magic airships because it had the Royal Eagle Knights.
In fact, the Silver Moon Elves should not have such troubles, after all, the Silver Moon Elves also have the Silver Pegasus Legion, a flying unit.
In the eyes of the dwarf apprentices, the elves don't need to worry about the harassment of magic airships by flying monsters.
Roy is not worried about the harassment of flying monsters on the Partington plane, but it is not because the Silver Pegasus Legion he belongs to can provide this kind of air support to the Partington plane, but because he has a griffin cavalry regiment in his hands.
At present, his griffin cavalry regiment has grown to more than 700 griffin cavalry, which can almost form a flying army.
In the Padstow Forest, Griffin Barrier Mountains, Pagisto Plateau and Sun Island Bay in the Partington plane, this Griffin Cavalry Regiment is considered the most powerful flying unit.
As for the Blackwater Swamp, Roy really didn't want to set foot in that area for the time being, not only because there were countless poisonous horned black anacondas lurking in the Blackwater Swamp, but also because of the group of dragon flies deep in the swamp.
At present, Roy has set his sights on the Pagisto Plateau, Griffin Barrier Mountains, and Sun Island Bay.
The reason why Roy set his sights here is mainly because the plateau has rich mining resources, and the Sun Island Bay has high-quality fishery resources. Together with the large orchards around Padstow City, it can form a comfortable circle that is most suitable for elves to live in.
This is also the main reason why Roy is determined to take back this natural fishing ground.
In this way, the Pagisto Plateau will have sufficient supplies and will not be overly dependent on Woods supplies in Padstow City...
...
The Roland Continent described by the dwarf apprentice is a prosperous place.
This reminded Roy of what High Priest Reed had said. High Priest Reed had also told Roy that he must go to Roland Continent to have a look if he had a chance.
"I must go to Roland Continent to have a look if I have a chance." Roy stood aside and said to the dwarf apprentice with confidence.
The magic airship entered the clouds, and the surrounding fog was filled with fog. The wet air quickly wet the entire magic airship.
The twelve floating devices on the airship were all turned on, and the magic pattern arrays emitted a faint blue light.
The four dwarf apprentices took turns to come to the control panel to chat with Roy, and introduced to the half-blood elf students the various matters that the magic airship should pay attention to when it takes off.
"In fact, as long as you try to avoid the thunderstorm area when passing through the clouds, it will be very simple to control, just try to avoid those cumulonimbus clouds."
A dwarf apprentice said naively.
When the magic airship passed through the clouds, the scenery in front of you was like a fairyland.
The clouds under your feet seemed to be able to walk in the clouds, and more like the ground paved with countless snow-white cotton.
When the airship rises to this point, it can feel the dazzling sunlight above the clouds. However, at this time, one of the apprentices is holding a wind speed meter and standing on the deck to measure the wind speed and direction...
"Do we need to continue to rise?" Roy said with pursed lips.
"We are looking for the wind flow layer! After flying above the clouds, we actually need to measure the wind direction on the ship, so that we can find a route to the plateau city..."
The dwarf apprentice replied.
After hovering for nearly a quarter of an hour, the magic airship continued to increase its altitude.
Although there is plenty of sunshine here, it is also very cold here.
These dwarf apprentices are very familiar with this magic airship.
Under their skillful control, the magic airship finally entered the wind flow layer.
The biting cold wind made Roy feel a little cold. Roy stood on the deck and stared at several dwarf apprentices. After the magic airship entered the wind flow layer, they did not rush to raise the sails.
But they quickly ran to the bow to open the secret compartment under the deck and took out a roll of canvas from it.
Two dwarf apprentices walked to the left and right ends of the deck, and quickly pulled open the canvas, letting the strong wind blow it up.
Roy found that the sail was more like a parachute bag, which was blown up by the strong wind and quickly separated from the hull...
This is a ball sail. When the ball sail flew out of the hull, it quickly straightened the swaying magic airship in the wind layer...
According to the dwarf apprentice, this ball sail determines the flight direction of the airship.
Then three triangular sails were pulled out, and the magic airship began to move in the wind layer with the bow facing the direction of the wind.
Seeing that the magic airship gradually stabilized, the dwarf apprentices raised the sails under the three masts.
The propulsion devices on the left and right sides of the magic airship currently only help the magic airship adjust its flight direction.
In the wind layer, it is impossible to turn around, and even a turn of more than ten degrees is impossible. The entire magic airship is blown by the wind.
Entering the Collapse Mountains, the Nicobar Mountains, and finally the Kasir Mountains and the wilderness appeared in the distance...
This magic airship took three days to finally reach the plateau city in the heart of the Pagisto Plateau.
The time spent on the voyage was about the same as that of the griffin cavalry, but sitting in the cabin was much more comfortable than riding on a griffin.
Roy did not stay in the Plateau City, but dropped half of the supplies on the ship, and then immediately flew towards the Sun Island Bay.
…
At this time, a caravan was just along the Tolai River, along a road by the river, heading towards the Plateau City.
There were also several Silver Moon Elf merchants in the caravan, who were outsiders traveling together.
According to their own introduction, they were in Castletown City, and when they heard about such a business opportunity, they immediately decided to go to the Partington plane to look for business opportunities...
"You have transported supplies here more than once, right? How long will it take to sell these goods you brought in the market?" A Silver Moon Elf merchant asked the head of the caravan.
"We will stay in the Plateau City for five days, and we will set off to return to Padstow regardless of whether the goods are sold out or not." The head of the caravan said casually.
"What about the remaining goods?"
"Sell them to the mine guards, they will buy all the supplies shipped from Padstow at a price slightly lower than the market price..." The head of the caravan said honestly.
At this time, an elf in the caravan pointed to the sky and shouted:
"Look, everyone, look quickly, there is a three-masted sailing ship floating in the sky."
This sentence attracted everyone's attention, and all the elves resting by the river looked up. Sure enough, there was a huge ship in the sky slowly sailing away from the plateau city...
"What is that?" Some elves asked curiously.
