Chapter 1186 Flying Battleship
Looking at the piles of naval guns, Zhang Tuohai felt a little uneasy. He smelled the scent of conspiracy and danger.
However, there is too little information now, and it is impossible to analyze anything useful.
"No, we need to find out more information. We can't just sit there and wait."
Zhang Tuohai stopped there for a while and came up with an idea.
He called Molly over and said, "From now on, Longya's temporary office will be located in Royal Port. Make use of all these supplies. Starting tomorrow, we will recruit a large number of people, requisition merchant ships, and modify all merchant ships. Install more cannons and make use of them. At the same time, build more small boats, with one cannon on each ship and dozens of shells. I believe we can rush to build hundreds of boats before the main force of the Royal Navy arrives."
Zhang Tuohai knew that it would be too late to build a large warship now. The Royal Navy would arrive as soon as the keel was laid.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to build some small boats and use the wolf pack tactics.
Anyway, all they had to do was coastal defense, and there was no expectation that they could form a battle line and engage in a battle against the Royal Navy.
Small boats, armed merchant ships and various coastal defense guns are enough to give the Royal Navy a headache.
With Alduin in charge, it should not be a problem to fight a back-and-forth battle with the main force of the Royal Navy in the near sea area.
"Won't you stay with us? " Molly asked.
"The Empire seems to be plotting something. I have to go find out. I can't just wait passively like this."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Then will they if I stay here?" Molly looked at Governor Yin Fan and asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry. A legion of Imperial infantry and the entire Seventh Fleet died here. Given the Empire's style of doing things, the best outcome for him as the Governor is to be dismissed and his property confiscated. Therefore, he has no chance to return to the Empire. In addition, he has seen how powerful Hydra is. As long as I am alive, he will be as obedient as a sheep."
Zhang Tuohai pinched Molly's face and said with a smile.
"So when are you leaving?" Molly asked.
"Tonight, before I leave, I will leave you 10 Unsullied to take care of your daily life. Together with Alduin, I believe you can rule Port Royal well. I hope that when I come back, there will be a brand new Port Royal."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Yeah, okay, I understand." Molly nodded heavily.
"Bring all the charts of Port Royal."
Zhang Tuohai said to Governor Yin Fan.
Governor Yin Fan immediately ordered people to bring a large number of nautical charts.
These nautical charts are much more detailed than the ones in Zhang Tuohai's hands. Not only are there overall nautical charts of Xia Ya Sea, but there are also regional nautical charts centered on each city-state. They are extremely detailed.
In addition, there is a nautical chart to the core area of the empire.
Zhang Tuohai looked through the sea chart and found that the Xiaya Sea where they were now was actually the edge of the empire's territory.
To reach the Emerald Sea, the core area of the empire, from here, one must at least cross the Dusk Sea.
From his current Royal Port to the Dusk Sea, it is at least a thousand nautical miles away.
One can imagine how vast the empire's territory was.
How many imperial warships are there on this vast ocean?
"It seems that the task is still long and arduous ."
Zhang Tuohai put away all the sea charts and prepared to head to the Dusk Sea first. After all, it was adjacent to the core area of the empire and there might be more news there.
Before leaving, Molly, reluctant to say goodbye, naturally held Zhang Tuohai's hand for a while.
Watching the White Bird gradually going away, Molly, who was standing on the top of the city, felt a sense of pride in her heart. With the Royal Port as a foundation and Alduin as a support, it seemed that she could really restore the glory of her ancestors, and even go a step further and expand the territory of Dragon Cliff to the entire Sea of Char.
At the same time, Zhang Tuohai on the White Bird was sorting out his recent gains.
After killing thousands of warlocks, a transport fleet, the entire Seventh Fleet and the Legion stationed in Royal Port, Zhang Tuohai's level was successfully upgraded from level 9 to level 26.
The upgrade experience is 92/2600.
Looking at the long experience bar, Zhang Tuohai knew that it would be extremely difficult to upgrade without a major battle in the future.
Because the main damage is provided by the summoned ghost ships and hydras, there is only basic experience, unlike the Judgment of the Gun, which can provide additional skill points.
Therefore, Zhang Tuohai now only has 17 skill points obtained from upgrading.
At the same time, because of breaking through levels 10 and 20 respectively, Zhang Tuohai also unlocked two new skills: summoning chicken legs and making Daruma dolls.
Because skill points are limited, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain skill points, Zhang Tuohai feels that he needs to carefully consider the allocation of skill points.
After some thought, Zhang Tuohai gave up the two skills of grappling hook and flaming judgment.
One of these two is a melee skill, and the other is a climbing skill.
It is very useful during boarding battles.
However, Zhang Tuohai now mainly relies on summoned creatures and artillery to fight, and also uses muskets at close range. This melee skill is not very effective and was the first to be abandoned by Zhang Tuohai.
After much thought, Zhang Tuohai first allocated some to the summoning ghost ship that had worked so hard.
Summon Ghost Ship upgraded to level 4.
The level 4 summon ghost ship can summon a flying battleship.
The main body of the flying battleship is still a wooden structure, but the sails have been adjusted and placed on both sides of the ship's side. A huge hydrogen balloon painted like a shark is hung on the top.
The flying battleship retained the gun ports that a wooden battleship should have, but some of the gun ports were facing diagonally downward, making it easier for the flying battleship to shoot at the ground.
In addition, there are many hatches on the bottom of the ship. These are bomb bays with tracks next to them. Huge mortar shells are placed on the tracks. As long as the hatch is opened and the block is pulled down, these huge mortar shells will whiz down from the sky. It is simply a simple bomber.
In addition, there are one hundred bounty hunters on board.
These bounty hunters are equipped with muskets that fire Minié bullets, which greatly improves shooting accuracy and increases combat time to 20 minutes.
“That’s amazing.”
Zhang Tuohai was overjoyed when he saw the brand new summoned ghost ship. With this skill, he could even fight against the main fleet of the Royal Navy alone.
No matter how powerful your Royal Navy is, do you still have anti-aircraft weapons?
In this era when there is no effective means of air defense, weapons that can fly into the sky are invincible.
Alduin is an obvious example.
No matter how powerful Alduin is, can he withstand a salvo of artillery fire?
Just being flexible and able to take to the air.
