Chapter 605: Duel

call--
At the end of autumn, the sea breeze blowing from the southeast wind.
The two huge black fleets have already deployed their battles on this sea area that is the natural border between Falitis and Ilya. The only ones who can fight against them are each other, even if the cruel sea monster breaks in here, they will be torn to pieces without mercy.
This doomed war is a battle for the alliance to rebel, and it is also a battle for the founding of the "Ilya Republic", and neither side has room for retreat.
For the Tulip Alliance, abandoning faith, betraying the alliance, slaughtering nobles, and subverting royal power are all heinous crimes. The Alliance army will enter every city and every village, so that the rebellious bourgeois understand what it is: the iron fist of kingship.
For the bourgeois, all conspiracies and tricks are out of fashion at this time. Even if there is a true behind them, only the powerful coalition forces that are uprightly defeating the alliance can enable them to truly gain a foothold in this land.
Moreover, among the Tulip Islands countries that lack strategic depth, the most powerful is the navy as a sea barrier. As long as the navy decides the victory or defeat, the war can basically be over.
Forces of both sides:
Forty-five battleships of Tier 4 and above on the coalition side, including the "Glory" and "Cape Storm" in the Kingdom of Falates, the "Royal Guard" in the Kingdom of Tyrol, the "Santa Ana" in the Duchy of Tulip and the Kingdom of Palos. Headed by six quasi-legendary warships, the Prince of Asturias and the Neptune Poseidon of Thessaly.
On the side of the Ilya Republic, the original Royal Navy also has 36 battleships above Tier 4, and the three quasi-legendary ships are the "Grand Republic", "Freedom Equality", and "Bourgeois" that have been urgently renamed by the Constituent Assembly. .
There are also a larger number of three-masted fast boats headed by the quasi-legendary "Eternal Frost Icon" under the command of the pirate king, and they are all pirate raiders with black sails replaced.
In fact, during the two hundred years of voyage, naval battles of this scale may be rare.
Normally.
If a country invests money in a merchant ship, the merchant ship is actually "capital." As long as it can make a trip into a triangle trade, it will be at least 600% of the profit, and only a few round trips can make a lot of money.
But if money is spent on warships, unless it is used for looting, it is difficult to produce any direct benefits.
Therefore, maintaining maritime power is usually expensive, but it is very slow to produce utility.
As a result, the naval fleet is often used by the state as a tool to deter wars. The state can achieve political goals by mobilizing the navy or threatening to use the navy without starting a war.
For many marine economies, the chasing arms race is more attractive than direct war.
The key to the victory of this competitive model lies in the country's overall strength, such as extraordinary power, navy, commerce, politics, talent, and industrial assets, which can avoid the destruction and loss caused by a real war.
In addition.
Any reliable maritime armed force needs compatible maritime trade as its foundation. The navy must the merchant ships, and the taxes paid by the merchant ships are in turn invested in the construction of the fleet.
No one would be stupid enough to madly invest money to expand their armaments regardless of the actual situation and compete for the title of the world's number one navy.
They pay more attention to the establishment of sea power rather than pure naval power, so the naval power of various countries can basically be equated with overseas interests.
This is the case with Hilius, the case with Falitis, and the same with Ilya, who is under siege at this time.
While the battleship fleet faced off, the quasi-legendary battleships of the "Alliance" and "Republic" opened up another battlefield. On the surface, it is six to four, and the situation is greatly beneficial to the alliance.
Aiwen was standing in the command position of the stern of the "Cape Storm", and the slightly cool sea breeze was blowing his cloak hunting.
Behind him, except for his sister Anita, First Mate Boris, Navigator Milan, Sailor Captain Gary, Line Captain Vader, New Warrant Officer Fleck and other officers each perform their duties.
A battleship with five supernatural officers, the lineup has been luxurious to the point of luxury, but to Aiwen who can mass produce superhumans, it is nothing at all.
There are also three mysterious figures in gray robes and hoods, guarding Anita's side like bodyguards.
Anita, carrying the giant dragon sword, no longer wears a golden mask, her vigorous face is matched with magnificent emerald-colored long hair, and her tall figure is sassy and beautiful.
Between the New World and the high-level alliance, it is no secret that the "Emerald Light", one of the golden sea kings who are famous in all ocean countries, is the sister of Irving Garriott.
The two brothers and siblings are no longer small people who needed to carefully hide themselves in the past to avoid being discovered by the enemy, and they have the confidence to live in the sun.
And today, ten years later, I have to make a break with the culprit of the "Black Rock Town" Blood and Fire Night!
Because the city of Hereford, behind the Republic Fleet on the opposite side, is the residence of the Egret Chamber of Commerce and the place where Wright made his fortune, and even the "Mind Network" has captured him and Jerome head-on.
Obviously, in this battle that determines their own destiny, they cannot sit still on the Diaoyutai.
With Aiwen’s current status, he is already qualified to read most of the secret information of the king. At present, the total tonnage of the Ilya naval battleship is 65 (thousand tons). At present, this fleet is probably a collection of all the forces they control. .
Therefore, this battle will never be protracted, and Ilya's national fortune will be determined in one battle.
Suddenly, a thief sounded in Irvine's ear:
"Aven, hehehe..."
As usual, the "Mind Network" has enveloped the entire fleet, and the main officers have been granted secondary communication permissions, and they were even allowed to communicate with each other in private before the war.
Among the six quasi-legendary battleships, the right side of "Cape Storm" is the flagship of the fleet, and the left side is the "Royal Guard" of his old friend Tyrol Kingdom.
"Bertlem, the war is approaching, what are you doing again?"
Hearing it was Bertram Solomon's voice, Ivan didn't have a good air. If it weren't for the Kingdom of Tyro to be the half-financer of this large-scale military operation, he wouldn't want to pay attention to this guy with impure motives.
The Dutch bank group, which had experienced a huge loss, faced the big enemy of Huggins, of course, it was impossible to miss the chance of revenge. After learning about this action, they supported Tyro and the Alliance with a large amount of military expenditure.
However, the alliance can faintly feel the hidden wait-and-see mentality of the Netherlands. After all, when it comes to bourgeois, who can compare to them in the entire human civilized world? If it weren't for Huggins, it would be on the opposite side. It would not be certain who these big bankers ultimately chose to help.
"Everyone is good friends. I haven't seen you for three years. Can't you talk about the old when you are fine? Miss Anita, don't you? That...I wonder if it is an honor to invite you to dinner after this battle?
Ilya’s grilled sardines, paella, Iranian-style roast suckling pig, and smoked ham are all famous products. "
This famous and noble man with his own gluttonous attributes is obviously a drunkard who doesn't want to drink. Under the excuse of Aiwen, a word was drawn to Anita before he finished.
Obviously, even after a few years, she still remembers the powerful female knight who once saved herself from the large sea monster "Iron Armored Seahorse". When she learned that this was Aiwen's sister, she jumped three feet tall.
Anyway, this guy who feels good about himself, in his heart, feels that among all the unmarried people here, there is no one who can compare to him in terms of family, ability, and sincerity.
Solomon, who was standing on the stern next door, glanced sideways. It was the contempt of the pirate king, and he faintly spit out: "No interest, men will only affect the speed of my sword."
When Anita returned to the New World to take over the "Dragon Cavalry", she already had the strength equivalent to Tier 3 senior. Now that he has finally reached the level of senior dragon veins, his attributes are almost no less inferior to the third-order peak of normal humans.
Coupled with the activation of the skin and the upper sea emperor dragon, there is no problem even if you touch the fourth step in a short time.
Three years later, under the cultivation of the famous Solomon family of thousand-year-old wizards, the now thirty-one-year-old Bertram Solomon has the strength of a peak official wizard, but he is still not enough in front of Anita.
"Miss Anita, I..."
Not reconciled, I want to work harder.
Oh oh...
The wind blew up.
There was a sudden thunderous shout over this sea area:
"The Ghoul Pickman came up to lead death!"
A golden light from the "Alliance Fleet" soared into the sky, and the titled monster "Sneerful Tunnel Forager" Pickman from the "Republic Fleet" also soared into the sky without showing weakness.
Rumble...
Immediately, there was fluttering frost and snow falling in the sky accompanied by billowing thunder.
The battle of the fourth-order transcendents is enough to affect the celestial phenomenon.
In the Tulip Alliance, the Kingdom of Falitis, currently ranked number one, has the Kingdom Guardian: "Glory of Glory" Lionheart Archduke, "Roses Sword Saint" Ilvid; the second ranked Kingdom of Tyrol has the "Thunder Halberd" "Augustus;
There is no exclusive titled knight in the Tulip Principality (religious country); Palos has the "hand of God" Grover, he has the two identities of the founder of Palos Fourth Dynasty and the knight of the Church; the Kingdom of Thessaly There is "wrestling with the bear" Antonio.
Of course, all the titled knights of the Tulip Kingdoms who rely on the potion and the ladder of the seven gods are essentially subordinate to the goddess, which is a manifestation of his mortal dominance.
In addition.
In addition to Ilya's "Raging Waves", there are five remaining kingdoms guarding. Although "Brilliant Glory" and "Wrestle with the Bear" are much younger than "Raging Sea Tide", they are also contemporary figures, and they are no longer suitable for leaving the capital to start a high-intensity battle.
Because the titled knight as the pinnacle power is related to the national base of the countries, it can also be said that the current situation of the Tulip League is that the defense is more than aggressive. Even if the number of titles is similar to that of Hilius, it is still at an absolute disadvantage.
When in the sky, the two peak combat powers are fighting at the same time.
The conventional fleets of the two sides have begun to approach slowly. The main fleet of the Republic uses conventional line tactics, while a large number of three-masted fast boats are gathered in two sections in an attempt to make use of the pirate's expertise to take advantage of the chaos.
As the commander of the fleet, Major General Demon Brand simultaneously issued orders to the entire fleet:
"Command: The entire fleet rushes in two columns, cut them off!"
at the same time.
As the flagship, the "Glory" suddenly shined brightly. The countless runes carved on the hull and sails became one piece. A huge golden ball of light formed on the spear-shaped head of the ship. The sun is all dark.
Extraordinary Ability·Sun Spear
A beam of light turned into a gleaming sun spear, carrying the heat that seemed to boil the sea, and flew towards the "Icon of Everlasting" which is the flagship of the Republic fleet.
This blow is definitely not a weak one even in a true legendary battleship, but the cooling time is too long and the limit is too big, and the solar energy accumulated for half a month in the midsummer can only be activated once.
Huggins, dressed in a marshal's uniform, stood on the back of the building and gave a wanton smile~EbookFREE.me~ gently raised his hand.
Wow...
A huge dark blue battleship equivalent to a first-class ship suddenly smashed the sea surface, and huge blisters popped out from the bottom of the sea, blocking the front of the "Eternal Deity".
call--
Silently, the hull seemed to be gasified, and a large hole with a diameter of several meters was opened directly at the waterline position, and turbulent sea water poured in.
But not waiting for everyone in the Alliance to recover.
With the influx of sea water into the hull, it has begun to recover quickly. This is the characteristic of the legendary battleship Sea Soul-"the same quality of ocean current."
"You didn't bring the legendary battleship, you are doomed! Huh?"
Huggins was about to control the Sea Soul to launch a counterattack, suddenly a butterfly that seemed to be made of emeralds slipped quietly from the corner of his eyes.
Then the second, third...
