The sword of God pierces the sky, bringing the origin of civilization and war.
Order does not mean blind obedience; resistance and struggle are also important.
The first to bear the brunt was the most prestigious first-class battleship of the Holy Kingdom and the flagship of the First Fleet, the Divine Blessing. It was 80 meters long and 35 meters wide, and looked like a dagger lying flat in the air with a slight concave shape.
There are 140 magic cannons on both sides of the silver-white hull, but this is not the point. The most distinctive feature of the Divine Blessing is its ram bow. Unlike other floating magic ships, the Divine Blessing is a flagship, but it is famous for close-range attacks. Its bow is basically a flat blade. In battle, the most common thing this warship does is to rush directly to the enemy warship, insert its bow into the hull of the enemy warship like a dagger, and then the paladins rush up to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
This battleship is also considered a legendary battleship in the Kingdom of the Holy Church. The original concept of its construction was mainly because the magic ship construction technology of the Kingdom of the Holy Church was relatively backward at that time, and it could not compare with the magic battleships of other countries in terms of long-range firepower. But on the other hand, because of the blessing of the goddess, the defense of the warships of the Kingdom of the Holy Church is generally very high.
And it was in this situation, facing the threat of magic fleets from other countries, the Holy Kingdom simply did the opposite, completely abandoning the advantage of long-range firepower in the air, and only concentrated its strength on the defense and speed of warships, so that these warships could rush directly into the enemy fleet formation as soon as the war broke out, and then fight with bayonets.
At that time, the Holy Kingdom built 15 ships of this type, but after the war, only three were still intact. Later, two of them were retired, and only the Divine Blessing joined the First Fleet as the flagship after being modified. It symbolizes the protection of the goddess, the sharp blade representing the anger of the gods, and the indomitable will of the Holy Kingdom.
The sword of divine protection has no retreat.
Following the Divine Blessing were thirty Holy Shield-class magic battleships, which were about 40 meters long. They were also the most common main battleship model on this continent. Compared with the Divine Blessing in front, the appearance of these Holy Shield-class battleships looked more like silver leaves. Each of these main battleships had 80 magic cannons. The warships of the Holy Kingdom were mainly agile, because the divine protection could increase the defense, so their warships were more based on roaming and flexible tactics.
At this moment, this fleet was like a group of white flying birds, gracefully and lightly sailing towards the port.
“Here it comes!!”
Seeing this scene, Oglan couldn't help but get excited. She was also from the Holy Kingdom. Seeing such a huge fleet appear in front of her, Oglan was quite proud and excited.
“Boom! Boom!!”
However, at this moment, as if to destroy this wonderful atmosphere, a noisy sound of war drums rang out. Hearing the sound of the war drums, Oglan couldn't help but frowned, then she turned her head to look, and then the young lady's face changed.
I saw that on the side of the first fleet, another fleet had also arrived. They were all red, and even without looking at the rough-style hulls, the image of a red dragon with bared fangs and claws painted on the sails alone explained the origins of these warships.
The Seventh Fleet of Vanriel, the Kingdom of Fire.
Compared to the splendor and elegance of the Holy Kingdom, the warships of the Fire Kingdom have a completely different style. The bows of their warships are all roaring dragons, with the unique two-wing sails of the Fire Kingdom warships. From a distance, it seems that these warships are living red dragons.
The largest of them was the Seventh Fleet's flagship, the Flame Dragon. It was about the same length as the Divine Blessing, but the design was completely different from the Divine Blessing. This warship was equipped with a total of 200 magical cannons. Its concept was to tear all enemies that came into view into pieces. Facts also proved that almost no warship could withstand a round of bombardment from the Flame Dragon.
Of course, perhaps only the Divine Blessing can fight against it.
For a moment, the air became a little subtle. In front of the airport, the fleet of the Holy Nation and the fleet of the Fire Nation slowly advanced, gradually forming a confrontation. The representatives of various forces stared at this scene with their eyes wide open, not knowing what to say for a moment. And Knight Astor and Lieutenant General John also had smiles on their faces, as if they didn't see what was happening in front of them at all, just staring at each other quietly.
Wow... this is really troublesome...
Seeing this scene, Oglan was sweating profusely. She could see that both fleets were heading towards the port at the same time, and they had no intention of giving in. Obviously, although both sides still maintained a friendly atmosphere on the surface, their intention to fight each other had already appeared at this moment.
And that’s not all…
"Look, what is that?"
Just as both sides were about to enter the waterway, suddenly, a noble standing in front of the glass window pointed outside and shouted loudly. At this time, everyone was surprised to find that there was another fleet behind the Fire Nation's fleet!
The number of warships in this fleet is almost the same as that of the previous two fleets, but the flagship of this fleet is very eye-catching.
Because it's so big!
From a distance, this battleship is almost 150 meters long, which is almost the largest battleship currently!
Of course, judging from its speed, it may be due to its large size that it is not very flexible, but it has to be admitted that seeing such a huge ship flying in the sky will bring great shock to anyone.
As for which country this battleship comes from, you can get the answer by just looking at the pattern of scales and gold coins painted on it.
"This is the latest warship jointly researched by us and the Kingdom of Kalon."
At this moment, Lieutenant General John also joined the conversation with a smile.
"We call it the Forward... It is unstoppable and capable of crushing any enemy that stands in its way. How about that? It's a beautiful name, isn't it?"
Those damn upstarts!
Hearing what Lieutenant General John said, Oglen snorted softly. Is it great to be rich? Can you do whatever you want if you have money? Damn... That's why I can't stand the complacency of those fat guys like Caron!
Of course, strictly speaking, this battleship also has many flaws in Oglan's opinion, such as being too big and easy to be hit, or being too slow and difficult to attack flexibly. If she wanted to say anything, she could criticize all the shortcomings, including the vulgar golden appearance of the battleship.
But humans are visual animals after all. The battleship Progress is a whole lot larger than the Divine Providence. This sharp contrast alone is enough to make people feel uncomfortable.
Regardless, size is an important aspect.
"Really, I'm sorry to have made you all laugh."
Lieutenant General John's smile did not change at all, and he even waved his hand embarrassedly.
"To be honest, we didn't intend to show off this battleship. After all, it's big and bulky, and it's not a good battleship sample. But Caron strongly requested to use this battleship for testing, so we brought it here... Ah, please don't mind..."
Hearing this, Oglan was also very upset. If possible, she really wanted to punch this bastard in the face. But she had no way to do that. At this moment, this huge warship was already heading towards the channel under the escort of the Fire Country fleet. It was obvious that it wanted to enter the port before the Holy Country fleet!
Although this was just a dispute of arrogance, it was also related to the face of the three countries. But what surprised Oglan was that at this moment, the First Fleet of the Holy Nation suddenly slowed down and opened up its formation... What did this mean? Did they intend to surrender? In front of everyone?
Thinking of this, Oglan couldn't help but glance at the Knight Astor beside him, only to see that the Knight was still smiling, squinting his eyes, and seemed to have no expression at all. Although Oglan wanted to say something, at the same time, suddenly, several flashes of light flashed in front of her.
Could it be that the First Fleet opened fire?
While thinking about this unreliable idea, Oglan hurriedly looked in the direction of the flash, and then the girl couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
I saw white beams of light falling from the sky like meteors and landing in the gap in front of the First Fleet. Then they quickly expanded and turned into magic arrays.
This is... a space transfer array, could it be...!
Thinking of this, Oglan's eyes widened in surprise. In her memory, there was only one force in the entire continent that had a fleet capable of space transfer!
That is... the Sky Eye Guard of the Magic Kingdom!
"call--"
Along with the flashing of magical light, dozens of warships appeared in front of everyone. Unlike the modified models of the other three countries, up to now, the wizards of the Magic Kingdom still use the oldest style of magic warships. The three-deck design with 85 magic cannons is their standard design, which has hardly changed in the past few decades.
But this does not mean that the warships of the Magic Kingdom are all antiques. Thanks to the excellent alchemy and magic skills, although the warships of the Magic Kingdom are of standard style, they each have completely different responsibilities. Coupled with the magic amplification of the mages on the magic warships, the warships of the Magic Kingdom have become one of the most influential existences in the sky of this continent.
This time, new warships also appeared in the fleet of the Magic Kingdom.
"That is..."
Many people were shocked when they saw the ship that stood out from the rest in the fleet of the Kingdom of Magic. If the warships of the Kingdom of Holy Religion, the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Wealth were more or less "warships", then the warship of the Kingdom of Magic was more like a small circular floating island than a warship. There were six magic towers erected around the floating island, but that was not the most important thing.
What’s important is that around this floating island, you can clearly see the berths for mooring magic warships!
"this……"
“Hehehe.”
Looking at the expression of Lieutenant General John beside him, Knight Astor chuckled.
"I'm sorry to embarrass you, Vice Admiral John. To be honest, we in the Holy Kingdom have no intention of dominating any sea area. We only hope to protect our own territory. That's why we joined forces with the Magic Kingdom to conduct research on air berths... Well, I admit that it is not actually a battleship. It is only used to provide supplies and berthing for other magic battleships..."
“…”
After hearing the "explanation" of Knight Astor, Vice Admiral John's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He was not a fool. Although Knight Astor said that this thing was not a battleship, and it did not look like a battleship, Vice Admiral John knew that the appearance of this "battleship" had made the Holy Kingdom a major concern for them!
Because the Holy Kingdom has solved a very important problem, that is the logistical supply of the long-distance fleet! !
As the commander of the Fire Nation's Seventh Fleet, which controls most of the Endless Sea, Vice Admiral John certainly understands the importance of logistical supplies. Even they can only ensure the supply of the ocean-going fleet by building docks and berths in the existing civilized areas.
But a "supply ship" that can be moved at any time and can be used to moor magic warships is completely different! Even if the speed is not fast, the ability to move means that the Holy Kingdom can moor this "supply ship" anywhere! Unlike them, they are not restricted by the supply range. In this way, the whereabouts of the fleet of the Holy Kingdom will be more difficult to grasp!
Damn, those bastard wizards from the Land of Sorcerer... I knew they would be hard to deal with!
but……
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in Lieutenant General John's eyes.
In that case, let me show you the will of our Fire Nation!
