Chapter 277: Naval Battle (Part 1)

More than one hundred ships form a fleet, and the scale is indeed a bit large. Each ship is separated by a distance of fifty to sixty meters from the front to the back, and is distributed on the sea nearly three kilometers long. The sails are gathered and the hundreds of boats go together, which has a magnificent epic feeling.
Three iron-clad warships are distributed on the periphery of the fleet, one is on the east side of the fleet, and the other two are on the west side, escorting all the way.
Luo Lin was on the Iron Sword battleship on the west side. He was standing on the deck, looking at the fleet behind him, with great joy.
Today is the tenth day of the southward journey, and the gods have taken care of him. Although it is not a good trip, there were no big storms, but luckily, they also found a great ocean current going south, which made them take seven or eight. A ride of the day.
In ten days, they just went south for nearly 1,800 kilometers.
Going further south for more than two hundred kilometers, it was the former Vendôme harbour. Luo Lin also asked whether he could pass this place smoothly. To be honest, it depends on luck.
Rollin only hoped that Disentas was blinded and could not see them. Of course, this was unrealistic, so he could only hope that he would send fewer flying undead to stop him.
"My lord, it's time to eat breakfast." A voice came from behind. Luo Lin turned his head, but it was Dai Wei. She was one of the magicians who came with the ship. She hadn't seen her for more than a year, and Luo Lin became more powerful and famous. As the sun is in the sky, there will be some birth between the two naturally.
The previous secret feelings, as time passed, as the hearts of both parties matured, naturally precipitated.
Now, the two are just friends.
Luo Lin laughed: "How many times have you said it, just call my name."
"That's not good, this is a necessary etiquette." Dai Wei smiled: "Let's go, everyone is waiting for you."
Luo Lin nodded. Followed Dai Wei down the deck and to the officers’ dining room.
This is specially separated. There are only six people on the entire ship who can eat here, except for Luo Lin, two are magicians. One artillery commander, one archer commander, one crossbowman commander, and the last one was the chief officer who sailed the ship.
The few people were originally sitting, but when they saw Luo Lin coming, they got up immediately. Salute: "My Lord Earl."
Luo Lin pressed his hand: "Sit down and have a meal."
With that said, he sat down in the first seat, and when he was seated, everyone sat down. Then the servants began to serve food.
Because it is breakfast, the dishes are very simple, a cup of milk, two poached eggs, a few large slices of sausage, a cup of fruit salad, and a stack of delicious bean paste. Luo Lin is an earl, simple and not casual. These foods are very delicious, considering the soldiers have a lot of belly, of course the amount is also very sufficient.
While eating breakfast. While everyone was discussing the future schedule, the biggest issue of course passed the possible interception in Vendôme.
Rollin took a sip of milk and said, "I have seen Vendome from a distance with Vianna, and it has become a completely dark city. We have also personally seen the power of undead griffins and gargoyles, especially It is a gargoyle, very powerful. Ordinary arrows can't hurt them at all."
"Master Earl, we have brought enough holy water." A magician said. His name is Roman, a senior magician. About fifty years old, with gray hair, a very strict person.
This time, they did get a lot of holy water support from the cathedral. The massive arrows carried on the battleship were soaked in holy water at this time, which was a gift to the undead.
Luo Lin nodded and continued: "I am not as simple as gargoyles. What I am worried about is that they use plague-like gas attacks on us. As far as I know, there are many undead apothecaries in the South. On the southern battlefield, they After using this terrible method, where the poison gas spreads, all creatures become dead."
Everyone became solemn.
Luo Lin continued: "Fortunately, we have an excellent sentry this time. Once those little dragons call the police, while you are ready, you must remember that you must fight the undead carrying suspicious items as soon as possible. As long as they show up, Don't have any hesitation. We would rather let ordinary gargoyles break through our defenses and shoot them down."
"Yes, count." Everyone solemnly responded.
Seeing the heavy faces of the people, Luo Lin smiled again: "Don't be so nervous. Perhaps no one will intercept them. The undead are not good at naval warfare, but they are very tough on land. Maybe they will wait for us at the Cape of the South China Sea. At that time, our own orc warriors will block them. We are in the rear, so don't worry too much."
Obviously, these words did not make people really relax. After everyone finished their breakfast in silence, the officers returned to their posts and began to carefully check their weapons.
Luo Lin's order also went out through the semaphore ship, and the other two armored battleships also began to prepare for battle.
The fleet continued to struggle, and time passed bit by bit, until six o'clock in the evening, when the sun went down to sea level, it was still calm.
Just as the soldiers were eating dinner, there was an alarm from Vianna's little dragon.
This little dragon is a magical creature, full of life magic. It is very small, about the same as an adult slap, but very powerful, especially at extremely fast speed. When Viana is flying at full strength, they can also follow behind.
When the alarm was called, Xiao Jinglong flew to Luo Lin, his translucent body flashed and flashed, and bright markings representing danger appeared on the surface of his body.
"Ready to meet the enemy!" Luo Lin commanded loudly.
"Woo~~~~" The horn sounded immediately, and not only the armored battleship began to prepare for battle, but the merchant sailors also took simple swords.
The soldiers have been waiting for a day, and their nerves have been tense. When they heard the order, they immediately responded, each in their positions, only waiting for the undead to enter the range.
The artillery and bed crossbows on the deck pointed at the sky at the largest elevation angle, and several bright of light rushed into the sky from the armored battleship. It was the magician’s
blazing light ball
. The light ball was extremely bright and the enclave was extremely high. Rushing straight to the clouds, immediately illuminating this sea area like daylight.
From a distance, a large group of black spots appeared in the sky in the direction of Vendome.
Luo Lin stood on the bow, fully armed, with a moiré sword in his hand, and looked at the situation on the horizon. He quickly saw the number of opponents. At least 500 gargoyles came, and there were more undead griffins. More than 1,500.
His eyesight was amazing now, and soon he saw some gargoyles holding large wooden barrels on their paws. The number was not many, it seemed that there were only a dozen. It was a little fortunate, but also a little worried. He didn't know what the was in this wooden barrel.
He knew very well that no matter what, these barrels must not be thrown into the fleet!
When the opponent flew closer, Luo Lin commanded loudly: "Fog! Twenty barrels!"
Of course, he would not use up the Necromancer at one time, the amount of sixty barrels, he would use it on his return journey, or when he landed in the South China Sea.
How to create the fog to the greatest extent has been carefully studied in advance. You have to pay 20 barrels at a time, which ship falls, and how the magician cooperates.
As soon as Luo Lin gave the order, more than ten seconds later, thick smoke billowed from 20 merchant ships.
The magicians on the three iron-clad battleships began to cast wind magic, and the sea breeze suddenly became strong, driving the mist to spread and spread rapidly.
Soon, the fog enveloped the entire fleet.
Later, a magician cast another wind magic, using the whirling sea breeze to maintain the fog in a space of one hundred meters around the fleet without spreading.
The fog produced by Twenty Barrels of Undead Nemesis is not too thick. The visibility is about 50 meters, which is quite thin. Because the armored battleship is on the periphery of the fleet, the fog has almost no effect on the sight of the soldiers on board.
At this moment, the gargoyle and the undead gryphon had approached the fleet and had entered the range of the artillery on the armored battleship.
This artillery uses the hanging method, the height of the artillery shell can reach more than 800 meters high, and the special artillery shell is used to ensure that the artillery shell can explode in the air. The lethality does not depend on directly hitting the opponent, but on the holy crystal inside the shell. Particles are specially used to deal with the flying legions of the undead.
The so-called holy crystal is the stone under the holy pool of the cathedral. It absorbs a lot of holy power over time, and the whole becomes transparent, just like a crystal. The holy power in it is pure and condensed. It is a weapon against the undead. They are loaded like cannonballs. , Is the method that Conworth, now the bishop of the Cathedral of Fix Island, came up with.
"Attack!" Luo Lin ordered.
"Woo~~~" The horn blew again, and the desolate voice spread throughout the fleet, which was the order to attack.
For a time, the artillery roared up, and thick smoke rose up on the armored battleship. At the same time, a ball of fire exploded in the sky. The holy grains of the cannonball shot in all directions. The sky was really empty and completely unobstructed. The sacred crystal particles have huge lethality for the undead within 100 meters of the opponent.
At this time, many undead griffins and gargoyles were recruited.
The gargoyle has thick skin and thick flesh, and its speed is fast. The damage is not serious. Only a dozen of them were shot down. But the undead griffins are unlucky. When flying, griffins instinctively like formations. This is a bit similar to the big geese. They are relatively dense. When encountering this kind of fancy shells, this kind of formation flying is killing itself. .
At least more than two hundred undead griffins were blown up in a volley, and it was really a heavy loss.
In this round of volley, two gargoyles holding wooden barrels were also attacked. The barrels he was holding under his feet were shot through by the hot holy grains. UU看书www. uukanshu. com and ignited.
"Boom~" A huge explosion appeared, and two blue fireballs with a diameter of nearly 30 meters appeared in the sky, as dazzling as a sun.
Luo Lin saw that when the blue flame swept over the undead griffins, their bodies were directly swallowed, and they became ashes in less than three seconds, without any struggle at all.
This power is terrifying!
"Stop the barrel! Stop them!" Luo Lin shouted wildly.
Needless to say, everyone was heartbroken by the flame, and their attention was all on it. As long as they could attack those gargoyles with wooden barrels, they would use everything they could use for the first time.
The undead had also learned well, and quickly dispersed, screaming in their mouths, swooping down towards the fleet from all directions, completely ignoring the existence of the fog.
Just as Luo Lin didn't understand their methods, the undead obviously didn't realize the terrible fog. (To be continued)
