Chapter 279 The Missing Airship
As Castel returned to reality, many memories sealed by the Temple of Poseidon began to gradually emerge.
Monica is the first part people think of, but there are many other things that can be remembered with a little recollection.
For example, there were three waves of airships sent by Zeus to explore the truth. All the crew members of Chloe's airship that went to Gem Bay died, and Nini and others who went to the Eye of the Storm have also returned. What about the remaining airship that went to the Empire for help?
The airship was sent by the old butler Connor, who led a team of crusaders, but there has been no response so far, which is very abnormal.
Hughes guessed that the airship might have successfully left that space and came to the real world, otherwise the people on the island should not have forgotten their existence.
For example, after Nini passed through the eye of the storm, the sea snake she left behind disappeared directly. Considering that Connor and others are still mortals, they were probably forgotten after leaving this space.
The airship carried sufficient resources and had firepower to protect itself, so how could it disappear like this? Hughes remembered what Beatrice had said in the link to the worker Hughes: If we go to Tis, we will definitely be detained.
Could it be that his airship, the one he sent out to seek help, was seized by Tis? Hughes had heard of that prince, who was ambitious and courageous, who successfully assassinated the queen and escaped, and restored his country with the righteous cause of resisting the empire. The Principality of Tis was now confronting the empire.
Could it be that he had detained Connor and the others? No way. Hughes frowned. He had heard many people talk about the prince. Both Beatrice from the Church and Ken from Castel spoke highly of him. Could there be a misunderstanding? Or did the airship not land in Tis? He had to send someone to check it out.
Now, the pirates on the Storm Ocean have been basically wiped out. The Pirate King's Court was blown into a huge pit by him, and no one knows what the Gem Bay has become.
But no matter what happened over there, Castel had become the largest force in the Ocean of Storms, and Zeus suddenly realized that he actually needed to expand outward.
Although this tiny island has a small population, its status was earned through hard work, but most people don't know it yet.
What we need to do now is to let those around us know.
But Hughes soon discovered something embarrassing - he had no boat.
Castel is clearly an island, but now there is no ship.
Although there were not many large ships before, there were at least a few that could go out to sea, and there were even more fishing boats.
But these ships had all been destroyed in the war, and Castel was left without a single ship.
This is a bit embarrassing.
There are airships, but it is not appropriate to send the huge Skyshroud Behemoth directly to Tis, not to mention whether it will cause panic. This kind of strategic-level weapon can be used for deterrence, but if it is really used as a means of transportation, there will be all kinds of inconveniences.
Besides, Castel is an island after all, and it is unacceptable to have no ships.
Therefore, the shipyard was put on the agenda at the first opportunity. From any perspective, this is one of the main directions of Castell in the future.
Hughes has temporarily planned the future shipyard to be located south of Castel, which is closer to the steel plant and provides convenient transportation.
But distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. Even if a shipyard is planned, Castel currently has no ships to use.
But whether it is Tis or Gem Bay, we have to explore it as soon as possible.
After thinking for a while, Hughes sighed and opened the mind link. Soon Ash came to his office.
"Ash, why don't you take some people to Gem Bay and see if there are any surviving ships there? Can you sail a ship?"
Ash: 『.』
Well, asking a banshee to drive a boat is a bit too much.
"I will find some fishermen who often sail and ask them to write some simple operating instructions. When the time comes, you can control the direction in the sea and sail back. "
"No need, I know a few people who were sailors, I will go and ask them for advice."
Zeus was a little surprised. Ash usually looked cold and didn't talk much, but how could he find the corresponding person so quickly?
What Zeus didn't notice was that after experiencing the baptism of war, the banshees were actually very popular on the island.
They are born powerful warriors, and in previous wars with sea monsters, they often served as firefighters.
Just imagine, the Skitarii were cornered by the monsters, with little ammunition, many wounded, and an endless number of enemies. There was no hope at all, and they thought they were going to die on the battlefield.
A squad of heavily armored banshees broke through the blockades and came to the defending Crusaders. Their tall bodies seemed like gods walking on earth, and the steam rifles and long swords in their hands were stained with the blood and flesh of monsters.
This was more effective than any propaganda. There was no need for Zeus to do anything more. The barriers between humans and banshees melted like ice and snow, and these big aliens quickly gained the trust of the islanders.
This kind of thing happened again and again in various places on the battlefield. The banshees charged fearlessly on the battlefield, until finally even the life pool of the symbiotic contract was almost dried up.
The powerful banshees finally fell, but they had already won everyone's recognition that humans are very strange creatures, weak, cowardly and mean, but never lacking in courage and all good qualities.
The people on the island finally completely identified with the Banshees. They all discovered that they were similar to each other. They were the same soul in different bodies.
After the war, the banshees and the Skitarii no longer needed to cooperate in combat, but there was no rift between the banshees and the islanders. Nini, who was noisy all day long, had many more people who made noises with her, and the taciturn Ash also had some taciturn friends.
Thinking of those equally withdrawn people, Ash's stern expression seemed to soften a bit.
Xiu Si raised his eyebrows, then laughed: "Then it depends on you. If you can find a few more ships, we are short of ships right now, and it is still a bit inconvenient to use airships for long voyages."
In the previous space, although there were constant monsters, the weather was generally pretty good.
But when he returned to reality, Zeus suddenly remembered why this sea was called the Ocean of Storms.
There are hardly any sunny days here, and storms and rain always fill most of the days.
It is not very safe for airships to fly through thunderstorms. The famous Zeppelin Hindenburg crashed due to bad weather.
Although the design of the Skyshroud Behemoth has been specially optimized and the airship's skin is much stronger than ordinary canvas, there are still risks.
Let's go to Gem Bay first. On the one hand, we can look for a ship, and on the other hand, those pirates should have a lot of treasures, right?
