Chapter 671 Overlord of the Sea

This time, George finally had the opportunity to take a closer look.

When George saw Duke Jumbo's ship, he was already a little amazed at the development of the world's oceans - if the ships of Western countries are still in the medieval era, then Landry's ships are already It reached the colonial era of the 17th century.

And the ships of the Moon Kingdom are more than a century more advanced than Landry!

The ships of the Moon Kingdom already have a complete system, and are strictly classified according to gun, deck and displacement. The division of Elda's ships still remains based on volume. The carrying capacity is also very different - Erda's thousand-material ship can carry up to 300-400 tons of cargo, while a random three-masted ship in the Moon Kingdom can carry 400-800 tons of cargo. Spanish galleons were even more advanced.

As for the large sailing ships of the Moon Kingdom, they have been loaded with many metal decks, and their displacement has reached more than a thousand tons!

These three ships are all about 600 tons, which can only be regarded as medium in the Moon Kingdom. But wherever it is placed, it is still a giant on the sea. Leiden's ships are twice as small in front of them.

And George discovered that the cannons used on these ships were not bronze cannons, but steel cannons!

The thickness of the bore walls also varies greatly. The chamber walls of these ship's guns were almost as wide as the palm of your hand! Elda's cannons only have one finger, which is like a layer of skin compared to the Moon Kingdom's cannons! Moreover, the appearance of these artillery pieces is as bright as a mirror. They are obviously not clay molded cannons, but solid drilled and bored pieces!

Even the workshops that George had just developed in Dome Eagle were not yet up to this level.

Erda's cannon and the Moon Kingdom's cannon are not products of the same era at all - just like the British army and the Qing army.

If a fight breaks out, let alone the issue of the Elda cannon's exploding chamber, the range, rate of fire, and accuracy will probably be very different - they will only get beaten.

In addition, George also discovered that these armed merchant ships were also equipped with many land ships, and each large ship was equipped with 10-15 ships. According to the sailors, the land boats on the Moon Kingdom warships are truly complete - they run extremely fast on the water, are equipped with small steel cannons, and can briefly fly more than ten meters high, and can directly Used to log into enemy warships.

It is said that the Moon Kingdom is studying a very large ship - it will be fully equipped with land boats and use wolf tactics in war.

"Is it made of all steel?" George couldn't help but ask.

"I-I don't know." said the boatswain: "But I think that if the Moon Kingdom goes to war with other countries, there will be no need for steel ships. These ships with steel armor are enough - currently only Lan Delhi's main fleet can pose some threat to the Moon Kingdom's warships, but after the fog, Landry has also given up on artillery - their ships are in the fog, and their detection range is not as far as ours, let alone. Aimed."

George nodded. He had heard from Leiden before that the ships in the Moon Kingdom carrying special magic arrays could see the ships in the mist - in the display of the magic disk, those ships were red. You can easily calculate distance, speed and other parameters based on proportions.

Wind direction and wind speed are even easier to identify.

Therefore, it is only necessary to equip an experienced artillery commander, and based on the calculations of his deputies, he can command the artillery crews and rely on the number of naval guns to hit the enemy in this fog with their eyes closed.

It's still very raw though, and a little bit punk. But this kind of fleet is still invincible on the foggy sea.

As for the Moon Country, the biggest enemies in the world are Landry's 'pirates'.

Jillian is the leader of these pirates. His ships even often plundered large consortiums escorted by the Moon Kingdom fleet!

George remembered that Jillian's fleet could also sail easily in the fog. And it can also detect rocks on the sea.

After all, for Landry, the most terrifying and common thing on the sea is not the fleet of the Moon Kingdom - they are across the sea from the eastern border of Rodunk. Before the fall of the royal capital of Rodunk, they Then I started to encounter all kinds of strange things at sea.

Therefore, although there is still a gap between Landry and the Moon Kingdom in terms of artillery, several of Landry's secret paints can make the Moon Kingdom's ships difficult to detect. Moreover, Landry's sailors are experienced and the ship is frighteningly fast! Therefore, when fighting against the Moon Kingdom, Landry's fleet was like the Rangers of the Southern Wilderness, often able to fool the Moon Kingdom around.

In Palos's account, George learned about the differences in the development of maritime technology between the two countries.

"Your Highness." Paros said: "In recent years, the Moon Kingdom's ships have mainly developed in the direction of defending against 'ghosts'. On this sea, the most terrifying thing is not these warships, but those ghost ships - They don’t need to be big at all, and they’re not sinkable at all.”

The demons had begun to plunder ships and use them to transform ghost ships many years ago. Compared to the Moon Kingdom, Landry encountered more such strange things.

George had seen the power of these ghost ships with his own eyes.

As long as those ghosts fly to the enemy's ship and pass through the crew members, they will all die.

"How is Landry's fleet doing in this regard?" George couldn't help but ask.

Landry and the Kingdom of the Moon are both maritime overlords, but their development directions seem to be different - the maritime environments of the two countries are too different. If the Kingdom of the Moon had not often fought with Landry and had to go to the Forbidden Sanctuary frequently. I am afraid that they would not have studied too much technology related to the fog.

"They don't use technology completely." The boatswain said: "But from the situation in the past few years, they are better than the Kingdom of the Moon when dealing with ghost ships - Landry's fleet can often make ghost ships go around in circles!"

"In the past two years, from the intelligence on the front battlefield, Landry has also made a lot of gains - although they have few wizards, so the magic core technology is not as developed in Landry as in the Kingdom of the Moon. But because they have the best relationship with the Holy Empire, there are many priests. And Landry's experience in dealing with ghost ships is unmatched. They seem to have information on all demon ships and understand the weaknesses and defects of all sea demons. They can even easily deal with those dead-haired banshees!"

George nodded, knowing that the information he left for Gillian at the beginning was used by that guy in the past few years.

At that time, they overturned the shipyard of Darkens. Darkens' laboratory was also turned upside down by them.

The demons in the lava purgatory have almost zero technical level at sea. So Aloysius and his maritime technology actually came from the netherworld and the ancient Landry, the ghost sea admiral. He was the ancient sea king of Landry, and the sailors of the demons were basically trained by him!

Now many documents in the hands of the demons have been burned. I don't know if the demons still have backup documents after the nether sea admiral surrendered to the shelter, but now the most complete documents are actually in the hands of the shelter and Landry.

In addition to these documents, the resting birds also taught Landry's navy a good lesson, and Rosgerd also left a lot of secret formulas to Gillian. So now Landry is indeed very experienced in this area.

And judging from their record in the past two years, their experience in sea battles with demons has become more and more abundant.

It can be said that they are currently giving the demons a headache in sea battles. However, if Landry falls, and the demons swallow up all of Landry's maritime forces, then no matter how strong the Moon Kingdom's maritime forces are, they will be unable to resist the demon's new navy!

Thinking of this, George shook his head and sighed.

At this time, the caravan had already boarded the ship completely. Many land ships were unloaded, and their slots were directly replaced by wind shuttles.

After that, the fleet set off at dusk.

George stood on the bow, facing the sea breeze, looking at the sunset on the sea level, and fell into deep thought.

The Moon Kingdom is actually an important node to support Landry. If the two countries unite, they will definitely be able to block the sea and land of the demons going south on the sea.

But unfortunately, the relationship between the two countries has always been very bad-they are both overlords of the sea.

Landry was once the overlord of the sea, and even established the Empire on which the sun never sets. As for the Moon Kingdom, it is the new overlord, and its rise has made Landry no longer the empire on which the sun never sets. In history, there were many grudges between them. And before the fall of King Rodunk, the two countries had been fighting on the sea.

The Holy See has also been secretly supporting Landry's attack on the Moon Kingdom. In the battle of the Forbidden Sanctuary many years ago, Landry was a staunch supporter of the Holy See, while the Moon Kingdom was a traitor. So they can be said to be old enemies.

The deterrent power of the Forbidden Sanctuary prevented the Holy See from openly punishing the Moon Kingdom after the defeat. But these hatreds cannot be forgotten.

Now, Landry is facing a life-and-death situation, while the Moon Kingdom occupies a unique geographical location. So the mentality of the Moon Kingdom is very subtle. So it is not easy to let the two parties completely put aside their past grudges and cooperate wholeheartedly.

This is not because of hatred, but also because of interests. Judging from Yueguo's current attitude, they obviously have the idea of ​​watching the fire from the other side of the river and making the fishermen benefit.

After all, it is not only the demons who hope that the Holy Empire will be destroyed, but also the magical country of the Moon Kingdom.

If Landry and the Holy Empire are both destroyed in this war, the Moon Kingdom will become the final winner, and the matter is obvious. And those arrogant nobles also firmly believed that as long as they intervened at the end of the war, the demons and the Holy Empire, which had exhausted everything, would become the cake in their hands.

The conflicts of interest in the Blue Water City back then were still vivid in my mind. Its fall was largely due to the competition for interests - before the war was over, they were thinking about how to divide Rodunk later.

What George feared most was the fall of the Blue Water City. This time, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't let those idiots tear each other apart before the end of the world.
