Extraordinary Sailing

"Treasure Tree Bay" in the southern continent, and the large-scale bastion "Teda Disburg" jointly managed by the Tulip Alliance.

The exclusive entertainment room for the captains.

A capable officer with short brown hair and wearing the military uniform of the Kingdom of Tairo put down the outdated newspaper in his hand, and sincerely admired another colonel and captain beside him:

"Hey, Captain Geer, your family really has a great character!"

For them who lived in the remote areas of the Southern Continent all year round, apart from the military's internal newspapers, they could only learn about the news on the other two continents through these outdated newspapers.

And this "Beckler Post" used an entire page to praise Brigadier General Ivan Garriott, the deputy chief of the New World Garrison, and his great contribution to leading the men behind the scenes and solving the severe infectious disease in the New World.

At the same time, in recognition of his achievements, the Royal Society of Medicine is preparing to award him a Hippoclark First Class Medal that has not been awarded for at least three years.

The captains of the fleet stationed next to them laughed and echoed when they heard the words:

"If my son can be half as good as Brigadier General Garriott, I can wake up laughing from my dreams."

"Me too!"

"By the way, Colonel Geer, find a chance to let the juniors sit together. My daughter is beautiful, and she is also a talented student at the Tulip Academy of Art. Hey, what are you dragging me for?"

As colleagues who have worked with Geer for a long time, they are of course well aware of the relationship between the two. Although they have different surnames, the brigadier general is actually no different from the eldest son of the Geer family.

Some people have also obtained from Geer a few high-quality potions that are extremely difficult to obtain from the kingdom's channels. Don't think too much, they are all from Aiwen, who has not forgotten his uncle after he developed.

And Geer, who was enjoying the treatment of the stars and the moon, was also a little emotional. He originally predicted that Ivan would be a general within ten years. How long has it been since it's time for my uncle to be my nephew?

But this feeling is really not bad!

Geer looked through the window of the bastion and across the boundless black sea with waves and flowers, as if he saw the vast continent on the other side of the sea.

"This is probably far from your limit, isn't it? Aiwen. However, I should be coming soon, and I can break through with peace of mind when I return from the garrison mission!"

Subconsciously, he touched the bottle of amber potion in his pocket, which he never left.

"Baoshu Bay" is located 2,300 kilometers north of Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of the mainland.

When the countries just started colonizing the southern continent, there was drought and little rain, and this region with a subtropical and semi-desert climate was basically barren.

But the Tulip Alliance, as a latecomer to the colonization, is not qualified to be picky at all.

After occupying a piece of land that was better than nothing in the Zaire Basin, he had no choice but to continue to explore the places that the powerful countries dismissed.

Maybe it was really a turn of events, but in this barren land at the southern tip of the mainland, they discovered two big treasures one after another!

One of these is the Witwatersrand Basin found in the Central Highlands.

Among them, there is a gold-bearing conglomerate belt of more than 100 kilometers. On average, 10 grams of gold can be produced per ton of gold-bearing conglomerate. The total proven gold reserves are 12,000 tons. It is called the Rand Gold Mine.

It is also one of the foundations for the initial rise of the Kingdom of Ilia after the discovery of the new sea route.

Later, as the proven reserves of gold mines continued to increase, the Ilya royal family quickly realized that it was difficult to monopolize them, so through the exchange of interests, all countries in the Tulip Alliance finally had a share in the gold mines.

It also gathered the power of the entire tulip to firmly occupy this place!

The other is "Treasure Tree Bay" on the west bank.

Even if the climate, soil, and geographical location here can even be called harsh, it is not suitable for the growth of large trees at all. But after the survey of the wizards, this place is actually at the key "magic element" node of the entire continent.

Extraordinary strength has created a group of oak species with extraordinary quality - "iron oak".

As a superior shipbuilding material, "iron oak" is excellent in terms of hardness, toughness, and water expansion rate. Among them, the most high-quality existence is called "Treasure Tree", which is an extraordinary material that can be used to build legendary warships, and is also the origin of the name "Treasure Tree Bay".

Because of the bonus of extraordinary power, the legendary battleship already existed before the first battleship in the true sense was launched. The grading of warships from level one to level six should be done after this.

subsequently.

The battle surrounding "Baoshu Bay" is also the most intense, and the big gold mine may still need to weigh the consequences of one against six. But "Treasure Tree Bay" is like a natural nuclear arsenal in this era, and it is an existence that a powerful country will have a share of no matter how much it pays!

In particular, Tulip discovered this treasure land very late, after the colonial pattern of the New World was established.

At that time, Sirius already had the capital of the overlord, carrying the infinite power to destroy the two Atrian native empires in one fell swoop, and his behavior gradually revealed his domineering style. However, the desert kingdom Heimar has gradually become complacent, relying on its superior geographical location to eat its money.

There have been more than a dozen battles, big and small, with Cyrus, the Tulip Alliance, and Atlan, who are qualified to take a bite.

In the end, they fixed their respective interests in "Baoshu Bay" in the form of a contract.

As the original discoverers, the three kingdoms of Ilya, Phalatis, and Tyro, who are the most powerful tulips, exercise substantial jurisdiction over this place.

They accounted for 30% of the treasure tree share and 50% of the common grade iron oak share.

The price is that 50% of the treasure tree share of the overlord Silius Kingdom and 10% of the common-grade iron oak must be given as tributes (the Alfonso Peninsula already has the best quality oak forest in the source continent, and some scholars even believe that the rise of Sirius is a Originated from God's choice.)

After a portion is set aside for the Tulip Principality alone, the remaining part is divided between Atlan and other Tulip countries.

Even with the binding contract, for these shares are guaranteed.

In normal times, each of the Tulip Three Kingdoms stationed a great knight in this not-so-big place, sharing the military power together, maintaining the powerful combat power of three third-tier great knights and a quasi-legendary all year round.

The specifications are comparable to their colonies in the New World.

but.

With the further turmoil in the domestic situation, the third rank of the Kingdom of Ilia had already left ahead of schedule, obviously busy standing in line.

While the other two countries were a little angry, it was not surprising that the great knights who had the potential to advance to titles and were loyal to Ilya had all been summoned back to work hard for the succession of the kingdom and the continuation of Guozuo.

Thinking about it with your ass, you can know that those who are still hanging out are either already taking refuge in the new nobles, or they are the grass that has fallen with the wind.

The consequences of the emptiness of combat power are borne by the other two countries. Now there are only two great knights from Phalatis and the Kingdom of Tairo to support them, plus a quasi-legendary battleship "Five-Masted Peak" belonging to the Kingdom of Tairo.

Apparently, not only they, as allies, are well aware of the situation in Ilya, but even the Cyrus people are the same.

so.

When war comes.

It was so unexpected to them, but it was so natural.

call--

The scorching sea breeze in the subtropical region blows the military flag and makes a loud noise.

"Fire!"

"kill--!"

On the vast sea outside the "Baoshu Bay", two battle lines lined up like long snakes were anxiously pouring firepower at each other.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

The thunderous artillery fire made the sea tremble, and the heart trembled.

In the thick smoke, warships capsized from time to time. Under the bloody sunset glow, it seems that the whole sea is burning, and I don't know how much of it is the sunset glow and how much is the blood!

However, the Cyrus people who came prepared have obviously stabilized more than one side of the alliance in terms of battleship level and extraordinary strength.

Even after the division of troops, a joint sea and land attack was launched on several major targets at the same time. But "Treasure Tree Bay" and "Rand Gold Mine" are undoubtedly the absolute top priorities.

"Treasure Tree Bay" not only has the strongest military force stationed here, but is also personally commanded by the peak knight Griffiths.

While opening the battle line to line up and bombard.

The pinnacle great knight handed over the command to Kungang Taita, the deputy commander of the royal party, the steel knight Kungang Taita, and successfully suppressed the combination of the two great knights of Phalatis and the Kingdom of Tairo by himself.

On the outskirts of the bay, the "Red Maple", which was as fast as the wind, also firmly suppressed the quasi-legendary battleship "Five-Masted Peak" with the dual abilities of "unbreakable" and "self-healing" in the Kingdom of Tailuo.

At this time, the only thing the Tulip fleet can rely on is the bravery and determination of the soldiers who dare to seize the upper hand and make no retreat!

Seeing that the situation seems to have become critical to the point where it is difficult to deal with it.

step..step..step..

The two figures wearing wizard robes with a strong technical temperament have arrived at the second strongest layer of the bastion, which is also the fort layer of the bastion.

Lifting off a huge oilcloth, revealing a golden rune flowing below, compared with ordinary artillery, it looks like a giant cannon.

The current Sirius is not the former Sirius, and Phalitis is obviously no longer the former Phalitis.

Although most of the alchemy wizards from the "Eye of Violet" are not good at frontal combat, no one can underestimate their war potential.

This [alchemy cannon] powered by alchemy stone and using all the most advanced artillery technology is proof.

The caliber reaches 203.2 mm, the muzzle length is 9300 mm, and the combat weight is 17000 kg. The muzzle velocity is 933 m/s, and the rate of fire is 2 rounds/min. The weight and range of projectiles fired are: Conical-bottom concave projectile, the projectile weighs 95.9 kg, and the maximum range is 40 kilometers.

Although it couldn't be installed on any sailing battleship due to the terrible recoil and self-weight, the large bastion was an excellent carrier for it, equivalent to another quasi-legendary ship that couldn't move.

Boom——!

With a loud noise that seemed to shatter the sky, an unscrupulous third-class ship on the distant sea was blasted through a large hole with a diameter of several meters.

Half a minute later, another third-tier ship in the Silius battle line also followed suit.

And Sirius' reaction was also extremely fast.

In five or six small mortar boats (carrying two 330mm mortar guns, capable of firing 200 lb/90 kg shells, with a range of 2,700 meters, they are generally used to attack docks and defenses that cannot be approached by large ships. port city) under cover.

Kungang Taita, another great knight in the Sirius fleet, had already rushed to the port like a steel rhinoceros in heavy knight armor, and headed straight for the "Alchemy Cannon" on the bastion.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The heavy steel boots stomped on the ground, and each foot could crush rocks. Facing the bastion that was no longer guarded by the third-order power, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, the wizard must die!"

See such a scene.

Geer, who was directing the battle on the "Maywind" in the battle line, stared slightly.

Both sides of the battle are very clear at this moment that the key to the battle at this moment is not the quasi-legendary battleship, the battle line, or the three great knights. Only the [Alchemy Cannon] is the alliance's only hope for a comeback!

However, if a Tier 3 great knight were to rush into the bastion without hindrance and start killing, he would be unable to resist it before the weapons in the hands of ordinary soldiers undergo a qualitative change.

The gap between official knights and great knights is more than just a simple addition of extraordinary energy?

The second order may also be forced to retreat by flintlock muskets, or even surrounded by musket arrays in the event of a deadly battle. But at the third level, especially the third level with full-body heavy armor, even if one person slaughters an army, there is no problem.

If the bastion were to fall, there would be no second possibility other than a rout and massacre.

The Alliance has no way out at this time!

Looking at the battleships around him that were sunk by the heavy artillery of the third-class ship and his colleagues who were dying at any time, Geer secretly gritted his teeth and shouted: "First Officer Perry is in charge of commanding the battle."

He took out the bottle of amber potion with his own body temperature and poured it into his mouth. It was the precious potion "Breath of the Giant Beast" that could increase the promotion probability of peak knights.

[Physical Liberation - 100%! 】

[Supernatural Mystery Iron Flow! 】

A [Rhino Horn Amulet] gifted by Aiwen suddenly lit up at his waist, and his power was increased again.

Boom——! ! !

The next moment, the flames of raging fighting spirit erupted in his body like a volcano!

Whoosh—

Under the disbelieving eyes of both the enemy and us, a crimson meteor brushed against the sea surface and rushed towards the bastion of the port.

However, what is contained in it is the power like a volcanic eruption, plus the same chaos and tyranny!
