Chapter 259 Departure

The sky is as clear as blue.

It is a port less than a hundred miles from King Sauron.

On the banks of the inland sea of ​​Roland, the coastal terrain here takes an upside-down half-moon shape, forming a natural harbor and wharf - in fact, this is also the base of the main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Kingdom of Sauron.

Fourteen huge first-class warships on the Roland Continent were docked in line with each other next to the dock. At this moment, the dock was filled with warships of all sizes. These warships had passed through a simple formation, and all the weapons they put on had been dismantled, and the flags were replaced with a royal flag of the Sauron Kingdom and a golden thorny flag - the imperial flag of the Empire of Light.

A whole hundred warships are already lined up.

After waiting for many days in the capital of Sauron, the first batch of warships from the Roland Continent have been mobilized. According to the contract, the first batch of 100 warships will set off from the port today and head to the Light Continent.

On a simple platform on the dock, the King and Roddy stood side by side, both smiling at the fleet in the dock below. Roddy sighed in his heart. Roddy was indeed powerful, especially the largest fourteen first-class warships. Such a large warship can accommodate more than two thousand troops. There is no navy of such a large warship, but they can easily take out fourteen.

King Sauron sent a special envoy to board the ship with a peace agreement signed by both sides. According to the agreement between the two sides, when these warships arrived at the Empire of Light, the first batch of released prisoners of war will be transported back one after another.

The king was not worried that the Empire of Light would take the warship and not let anyone go. After all, the Duke of Tulip was still here, and Miss Nicole. These two people are much more valuable than a hundred warships. According to the conditions we agreed on, Roddy will stay in the Roland Continent until the transaction is completed - this also means disguised mortgage.

After a roar of a cannon, the flag bearer standing on a high tower on the pier waved the colorful flags in his hand a few times. The largest warship in the fleet hung the flagship flag. Then the sailors commanded in flags on the watchtower. The vast fleet began to line up and slowly sailed out of the port.

The sun was shining brightly, and the rippling sea surface was shining like golden scales. The king felt a little proud and couldn't help but smile and said, "Hisser Roddy, how do you look at the fleet in front of you?"

Roddy answered very simply: "Very good! Such a fleet is indeed invincible above the sea!"

Suddenly, a person next to him couldn't help but snorted coldly, and there seemed to be a little dissatisfied in his voice. It was the crown prince Yawen. As the commander of the navy, he naturally felt unwilling to accept the situation when he saw these strong warships being given to the enemy.

The king didn't care about Yawen's emotions, but just smiled faintly and said, "Yawen, it's getting late, so you can board the ship too!"

Because it was the first batch of warships, it was related to the sincerity of the two companies' cooperation, so the Kingdom of Sauron naturally had to send a heavyweight with a higher status to show the sincerity of cooperation. Yawen, who is the crown prince of the king, was sent to the Empire of Light.

Although Yawen was a pro-war faction, he agreed to this request with the king's efforts and persuasion. Seeing that his guard had already passed through the deck and onto the flagship leaning against the shore, Yawen finally sighed, bowed to the king and Roddy, and shouted: "Your Majesty, I'm going."

After saying this, without looking at Roddy, the proud young man strode away.

The king looked at the back of his crown prince and suddenly sighed: "Young man, it's not a good thing to be too sharp." Speaking of this, he glanced at Roddy intentionally or unintentionally.

Roddy shut up and said nothing, thinking that this is your family matter, why do you tell me this?

Now there is no one around, and the guards are standing in the distance. The king suddenly lowers his voice and says, "Rody, do you look at these warships?"

Roddy was stunned and said, "Of course it's good! It's much better than the warships of our Empire of Light."

The king suddenly sighed and whispered: "Yes, those kingdoms have followed the rules this time and did not make some rags to fool us. After all, they still have hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war in your hands, so they dare not make trouble, use inferior products as good ones. But..." He suddenly pointed to the largest flagship that Yawen boarded and said seriously: "Did you see this ship? This is already a first-class warship in our Roland Continent! This kind of warship is made of high-quality iron wood, extremely strong. It is a length of one hundred meters and can accommodate three thousand people! Such warships, the entire kingdom of the Roland Continent, have less than one hundred!"

"Oh?" Roddy's eyes lit up. Less than a hundred. Then this time the other party gave him fourteen at once, so he naturally had enough capital.

The king smiled slightly: "But I tell you, it is said that the Roland sea coalition is invincible in the world, but only we Roland people themselves know that the real sea overlord is not those of us who live on the continent... but the dwarf navy!"

After a pause, the king said seriously: "Although the dwarves are sparsely populated, they cannot have large-scale troops. But ironwood is abundant in their territory, with such natural conditions that they can build a navy that is stronger than us!"

The king took out a thin roll of paper from his sleeve and slowly unfolded in front of Roddy.

"Look, this is the main warship of the Dwarf Navy! Although the size of the ship varies according to the level, it is basically made according to this model... The bow of this warship is raised high and the bow is sharp, which is conducive to breaking waves. There are three main masts on the warship, with a total of five sails on it, known as the "five-sail warship". The mast uses a special technology to rotate by itself, which is extremely flexible, and comes and goes as fast as the wind at sea!"

The king pointed his finger at the pattern of the warship on the drawing and continued: "And the hull is extremely high. The largest five-sail warship is as high as a four-story building, with fences and arrows on it!"

"Arrow stamp?" Roddy was stunned for a moment: "With a bow and arrow in the naval battle? Is it useful?"

The king smiled bitterly: "Have you forgotten what the dwarves have produced? Tiemu!" He smiled helplessly: "Although there are a lot of iron wood in the Roland Continent, they are not as luxurious as using iron wood to make arrows! But these damn dwarves, they even made arrows of iron wood! The arrows were shot very fast, and the range was almost more than 50% longer than ordinary bows and arrows. In naval battles, when the warships on both sides were not approaching, it would be a headache. They almost exceeded the range of magician magic attacks! If both sides started a war, then the magician we put on could not fly up to attack within the range of the other party's bow and arrow!"

"And the dwarves are born excellent craftsmen, they are good at making excellent weapons. They use this kind of bow and arrow to attack us when they get closer. When both sides get closer, they have a weapon!"

The king's eyes flashed, and pointed to the row of thin tubes extending out from both sides of the hull on the drawings, and said seriously: "This is a nozzle. Once the enemy ship is close to a certain distance, a kind of black oil will be sprayed out from the tube. When the oil is sprayed onto the enemy ship, their archers will fire rockets! The black oil is a little bit, and the more watered it, the more violent it will be! Although the Roland warship is made of iron wood and its fire resistance is far higher than that of ordinary ships, iron wood is still wood after all!"

The expression on Roddy's face seemed to be in deep thought. The king continued: "According to my information, there are 250 warships of the dwarves, among which the largest five-sail warship can accommodate 1,500 people. Its combat power is definitely not below our first-class Roland warship... and..." Speaking of this, the king seemed to smile helplessly: "And more than half of our fleet are such large ships! The other small boats are only used for support and patrols."

Roddy closed her eyes and murmured: "So, we don't have the advantage in speed, and it seems that it is not pleasing to fight far and close combat... Your Majesty, you have asked me a problem!"

The king smiled slightly, rolled up the drawings in his hand, and stuffed them into Roddy's hand, and smiled and said, "Of course, we don't plan to fight their navy head-on-on-one-headedly--if we do that, even if we win in the end, it will be a terrible victory, and the cost is too high."

Speaking of this, the king took out a roll of paper from another sleeve as if he was magical. When he expanded it, he looked at it, but it was a map of the sea.

"Our sneak attack is planned in half a month! In name, it is the last batch of warships transported to the Guangming Continent for exchange of prisoners of war!" He pointed to the map and said slowly: "Look, this is their island country. Our first few fleets pass by their left, heading south, sailing out of the inland sea, and heading to the southern Light Continent... These dwarves are very brave and they are afraid that we will attack. So when the previous fleets pass by, they will inevitably send their navy to patrol the left side of their island country to do surveillance! And what we have to do is... make full use of this." The king smiled: "You bring the last fleet, a total of 250 warships. I will bring all the best Soren Royal Navy that I can concentrate on. After the fleet leaves the port for a day, suddenly turned north!!"

"To the north!" Roddy's eyes lit up, and his eyes seemed to have a deep meaning, and he looked at the king deeply.

The king smiled and said, "It seems you understand too... Our fleet turned north and could go around behind their island country after five days, and then..." The king suddenly waved his hand, clenched his fists, and cut off the railway: "Log in, sneak attack!"

Roddy thought for a while and said, "The plan is good, but I don't understand the matter at sea at all. Your Majesty told me these..."

The king smiled: "Of course my naval commander is responsible for the matters at sea, but after getting ashore, I will leave the battle to you! I know that your country is invincible in the world in land battles, and I hope you will live up to my entrustedness!" He smiled: "As for the military distribution information on the dwarf island countries, I will hand it over to you in the next two days."

Roddy sighed: "Such a big plan is the most important thing to keep confidential. After all, I am an outsider, and these things have to be done by His Majesty."

The king smiled slightly and said, "Of course, only four people know about this matter now. Even if we set out in half a month, the soldiers will not know where we will go. I will issue an order to declare war on the sea! The news will definitely not be leaked!"

At this moment, the fleet has gradually left in the dock below, and the last one is the flagship.

Above the flagship, Yawen stood on the bow deck, first closed her eyes and enjoyed the sunshine and sea breeze, and first tried to calm her mood.

Well, Your Majesty sent me to the Empire of Light, in fact, to save me from being able to avoid my stay in the country and affecting his plan of peace talks. Alas...

Yawen shook her head, and the shadow of the stunning face appeared in her mind. He smiled bitterly: "Forget it, she likes women, just like His Highness the Princess, why should I think about it?" He opened his eyes again, tried hard to breathe a sigh of relief, called a confidant subordinate, and whispered: "What about the things that were shipped on the ship before?"

“Just under the cabin.”

"Okay." Yawen breathed a sigh of relief. According to what Nidist asked him, he secretly used his position to help Nidist transport a batch of her property in the Roland Continent to the Empire of Light. At this moment, all the goods had been secretly transported into the cabin of this flagship before departure.

This can almost be considered smuggling. But Yawen would not think so. He was just using his position to do his friend a favor.

"Okay, the boat is offshore now. Please ask my friends to come out of the cabin. After being bored for so long, they must be very uncomfortable." Yawen smiled softly.

The man under his command immediately took the order. After a moment, he brought back a middle-aged man with a nervous expression.

The middle-aged man was wearing simple clothes. When he saw the crown prince, he immediately lowered his head respectfully and whispered: "I have seen Your Highness!"

Yawen frowned: "Who are you? Where is Miss Nidise?"

The middle-aged man looked even more respectful and smiled apologized: "Our master is not on the boat. She asked me to tell His Highness that she still has some private matters in the capital, so she will not go back with the boat this time. Anyway, when the goods arrived in the Guangming Continent, there are naturally villains responsible for contacting and receiving the goods. The master also said that His Highness, the ancient road of the Crown Prince, will do his best and will not disappoint his friends."

Yawen was stunned, and then a little unhappy appeared on her face: "She didn't get on the boat? Humph, this woman dares to tease me." Then he smiled and said, "Okay, since I promised Miss Nidise, I will definitely help you... Well, what else does your master have in the capital?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I don't know much, but I heard that someone seemed to have agreed to the owner's date, but he left the owner there alone for a night. The owner was about to go and argue with him."
