MTL - The King-Chapter 396 ghost ship

  The soldiers on the battlefield were extremely fast, and there was no delay after agreeing. Hudson took Kayo directly on the road and flew directly to Hansen Port.

  Looking at the naval fleet gathered by the Dalton family, Hudson was almost drooling with envy.

Two first-class battleships (more than 3,000 tons), five second-class battleships (more than 2,000 tons), thirteen third-class battleships (more than 1,000 tons), and more than 30 auxiliary warships of various types ship.

  Looking at the lineup, you can see that the Dalton family suffered a lot in the previous naval battle. They estimated that all the warships that could be mobilized nearby were dispatched, obviously not planning to leave a way for the pirates to survive.

  Hudson has no sympathy for the pirates. Those who can come out to do this kind of moneyless business have their hands full of crimes, and they will all be pulled out and hacked without any injustice.

   "Kayo, let your people go!"

   Hudson said without changing his face.

   No matter how envious you are, you can't show it. If someone treats her as a bumpkin, it will hurt others.

   Regardless of the size of the fleet, the navy does not have a high status in the Dalton family, or in most countries on the continent of Aslant.

  The roots are all on the mainland, no matter how powerful the naval fleet is, there is no way to land.

  Most nobles do not attach importance to the development of the navy. The Dalton family can come up with such a lineup, mainly because of the needs of maritime trade.

  For Hudson, it is not difficult to create such a fleet.

  As long as you are willing to throw money into it, the ship can be built in two or three years; the trouble is that there are no officers and soldiers who can control the warship.

  The group of sailors obtained from the royal family can only be said to be able to drive a warship, and the overall quality is not high.

   This means that for a long time to come, the naval fleet of the Mountain Territory will be just a show.

   Relying on the strength of the ship and guns, bullying a small group of pirates, it is estimated that there will be no problem. It would be a tragedy to meet the regular army.

  The pale-faced Kayo nodded at Hudson, and said to the middle-aged man in a daze, "Uncle Byron, order the fleet to set sail!"

   As soon as he finished speaking, he vomited on the boat. Obviously, the dragon mount is not so easy to rub.

   Viscount Cayo, who received the ticket, was looking for excitement the whole time. With this unforgettable journey, it is estimated that he will never want to come again.

   Maxim has a temper. Not everyone can enjoy the treatment of the dragon knight, unless the money is added in place.

   There was no time to talk about the price, so I went straight to the road, and the treatment was not much better.

   Originally Hudson wanted to fight for Kayo, but later, considering that talking about money would hurt his feelings, he simply let him choose to ride a griffin or a dragon.

  The young Viscount Cayo unfortunately chose the latter. Go back and have a bragging conversation with your friends, but the price you pay is a bit high.

  A few episodes will not affect this trip. After feeling the charm of the sea on the splint, Hudson decisively went to the cabin.

   Originally wanted to command the fleet across the four seas, but the wind and waves were too big to withstand the toss, so the plan had to be cancelled.

  Perhaps in a hurry, the magic circle has been fully driven, and there is no time to calculate the specific sailing speed.

  Just feeling it, Hudson knew that the overall performance of his warship that was still on the berth had fallen behind.

  The times are advancing and technology is iterating. Hudson suddenly understood why the people of the Holy See traded technology so readily.

   It is clear that he is bullying the poor and white of the mountain leader. After he completes the initial primitive accumulation, the original advanced technology has become a backward technology.

  In fact, after so many years, Hudson still hasn't been able to digest the technology he got back then.

  To be precise, all shipbuilding technical materials are silent in the warehouse, and no one cares about them. Even after getting the Berkshire Shipyard, there is still no way to digest it.

  In the era of feudal lords, the population flow was very small, and there were a lot of technical terms and materials with dialect characteristics, which no one in the mountainous land could understand.

  If he hadn’t bought the Berkshire Shipyard, maybe in a desperate situation, Hudson might really go to the Holy See’s shipyard to arrest people.

  It is not needed now. It will take time for the mountainous land to digest the Berkshire Shipyard at this moment. There is no need to rush to decipher these shipbuilding materials.

   There is still a huge gap between the shipbuilding concepts of the Aslant Continent. With the special factor of magic added, it is difficult for everyone to reach a consensus on technology.

   After all, there is no science here.

   The quality of the shipbuilding concept is good or bad. The early construction only accounts for a small part, and the supporting facilities such as the magic circle and magic crystal cannon are the decisive factors.

   Various seemingly unreasonable and unscientific layouts, combined with extraordinary factors, everything can become logical.

  Join if you don’t know, Hudson is not a naval engineer, so there is no need to die on it.

  …

   "Man Beard, what the **** are you doing? Why haven't you been able to find Dulong Island after traveling through the fog for so long?"

  The old man in sacrificial robes reprimanded sharply.

  Although there is no such thing as a coastline in the continent of Aslant, everyone still defaults to the fact that the sea area close to it is the sphere of influence of the family.

  Dragon Island waters, the nearest country is the Alpha Kingdom, which is naturally regarded by the Alpha people as their own sphere of influence.

  Because this place lacks economic benefits and ships are easy to get lost in it, it is regarded as an ominous place, and the Alpha Kingdom doesn't care about Duron Island.

   If they came here secretly, no one would know what they wanted to do.

  It's a pity that they had a fight with the Dalton family's navy earlier, exposing themselves. If you don't finish things quickly and leave, it won't be so easy for them to leave when the other party reacts.

   "My lord, the sea area of ​​Dulong Island is also known as the Misty Sea Area. It is said that the area covered by clouds and mist is hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. The entire area is only one island, and there is no reference coordinates.

  Here, the line of sight of ordinary people is less than 100 meters. Looking around, everything is gray.

  After a ship enters this sea area, it is most likely to lose its way. Whether you can reach the legendary Poison Dragon Island depends entirely on luck.

  Back then, I entered this place by mistake and was able to leave safely, thanks to the blessing of the Lord of Dawn! "

  Man Beard hurriedly explained.

   In order to prove that he did his best, he still held the chart while speaking, and pointed to his hair that was about to be caught bald.

  The elder priest was about to get angry, but was stopped by a middle-aged knight behind him. In this special place, the pirates in front of him are more reliable than their group of masters.

   If they accidentally get lost here, even if they are the top powerhouses in the mainland, they may also lose their lives.

   "Okay, Josip. As one of the top ten dangerous places, if Dulong Island is so easy to find, it won't have such a big name.

  Bearded, continue to search according to your experience. After seven days, if we haven't found Dulong Island, we will leave this sea area first. "

   Jelacic said kindly.

   It's just that this scene fell into Man Beard's eyes, but it was even more terrifying than the reprimand given to sacrifice to the old man just now. At least the former is still a normal person, while the latter is purely a lunatic.

  The ascetic monks of the Holy See, in the eyes of ordinary people, are a group of pious, morally noble, modest, morally perfect people who hate evil like hatred.

   But with a bearded beard mixed with the Holy See, he knows very well that all this is an illusion. Ascetic monks are so noble, and the Holy See does not hide so much dirt.

   It is true that the belief is devout, and everything else is fiction. Most of the ascetic monks are lunatics, dedicating everything in their lives to the gods, and their minds are full of the glory of the Lord of Dawn.

   It's easy to talk now, that's because he is one of the few people on the mainland who entered Dulong Island and was able to come out alive.

  Once the task cannot be completed, the opponent will turn his face in the next second. In the eyes of these lunatics, the gods are the biggest.

   Pirates who do not do their job well have no value at all, and surviving is a blasphemy against the gods.

   Maybe from participating in this operation, in the eyes of this group of lunatics, their gang of pirates are already dead.

   "My lords, please rest assured, I will definitely find Dulong Island!"

  Man Beard hurriedly assured.

  Deep in his heart, he had already begun to scold his mother. Why hasn't the Dalton family arrived yet? Without external force to join, he can't make a comeback!

   There are indeed a large number of pirates, but most of these people are just strong men with a little force, and they are still a group of rabble in essence. It's okay to bully ordinary people, but it's not worth mentioning in front of extraordinary power.

  Now there are people from the Holy See on every ship, nominally for the convenience of living, but in fact they are secretly watching to prevent him from playing tricks.

   After a little hesitation, Man Beard said again: "My lords, the fog obscures the view too much, and the area of ​​Dulong Island is not big, so we might not be able to spot it if we pass by.

   If a magician can take action to disperse the fog near the fleet, it will definitely be of great help to the next search for Dulong Island! "

  With a sincere face, no problems can be seen. It also sounds realistic to let the magician take action to disperse the thick fog covering the fleet.

  The only problem is that there are no magicians among the pirates, and the only way to get rid is to rely on the Holy See and his party. Consuming a lot of mana in such a place is also a dangerous thing.

"good!"

   Jeracic agreed too readily, and it was too late for Bishop Josip to stop him. He hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

  Even if the magicians in the team don't make a move, they are confident in suppressing this group of pirates. Even if the pirate leader in front of him really has calculations, he is confident that he can suppress it.

  …

   Outside the fog, Hudson and his party stopped.

   "Respect Earl Hudson, the foggy area ahead is the famous sea area of ​​Duron Island, we also call him the foggy area.

  The fog on the outside is not too big, and the visibility becomes lower as you go inside, making it impossible to distinguish the direction at all. Once you go deep into it, it is difficult to find your way back, and ships go missing here every year.

  Only a rare sea storm in decades can blow away the fog and reveal the true face of this sea area.

  For this mysterious sea area, the kingdom also organized manpower to explore, and even landed on the legendary Poison Dragon Island, but the island is too dangerous.

  In the expedition team of 300 people, only five people survived in the end. Those who survived seemed to have experienced great terror, and they kept silent about the affairs on the island. We did not have detailed information in our hands.

   Now it is uncertain whether the pirates who entered this sea area entered it by mistake, or went in specifically to find the legendary treasure.

  Dragon Island is too dangerous, even if you go deep into it, you may not be able to meet the pirates face to face.

  Near the misty sea area, only the route in this direction has been opened up. The other areas belong to unfamiliar sea areas, full of unknown risks. If they can survive, there is a high probability that they will return from this vicinity.

  Whether they entered by mistake or want to go in to hunt for treasure, we just need to block them here! "

  Byron explained with a smile.

   Chasing murderers in the vast ocean requires skill. If you foolishly chase after the enemy's butt, you don't know how you will die.

  There are too many risks in unfamiliar routes, uncertain storms, sea tribes who hate humans, powerful monsters, special terrain...

  No matter what kind of situation is encountered, the fleet may suffer heavy losses, or even the entire army will be wiped out.

   "Well, then wait first..."

   Before Hudson finished speaking, three ships with strange paintings in the distance appeared in his sight.

  Even if it was several miles away, he could feel an evil aura rushing toward his face, as if it came from the abyss.

  Byron on the side even exclaimed: "Ghost ship!

  Three ghost ships are heading towards us.

   Oops, we're being targeted!

   Send the order down, and everyone is ready to fight immediately. Reload all the magic crystal cannons, aim at the three ghost ships, and start shelling as soon as they come into range! "

   Hudson has also heard of the infamous "ghost ship". Those who live at sea are most afraid of encountering these monsters.

   It is said that all the people on the "ghost ship" are ghosts, and some of them still retain some memories of their lives. Even though they have been dead for many years, these guys still think they are still alive, and they often come out to rob business travellers.

   Encounter is a **** battle. Ordinary physical attacks are not very lethal to these monsters.

   Only extraordinary powers such as knights and magicians can truly kill these ghosts.

  The trouble is that after these ghosts are killed, they will be resurrected on the ship soon. Only by destroying the ghost ship itself can they be eliminated.

  The newborn ghost ship is similar to an ordinary ship, and it is not difficult to destroy it.

  However, ghost ships and ghosts can also grow, as long as they are killed, they can continue to grow stronger. Some powerful ghost ships, even the army will feel tricky.

  Most of the time, the best choice when encountering a ghost ship is to fire immediately. If you are lucky, the magic crystal cannon will deter them, and these guys will leave on their own.

  Once you get close to the **** battle mode, you will often suffer heavy losses. As far as their strength allows, the navies of the major forces will try their best to encircle and suppress the ghost ship when they encounter it.

   "Uncle Byron, are these three ghost ships very powerful?"

   Viscount Cayo asked with a pale face.

   Along the way, he suffered a lot. First, he was tossed to the point of vomiting by Maxim's prank, and then he was turbulent by the wind and waves at sea.

  Originally, Byron arranged for a priest to treat him, but was rejected by Viscount Cayo, who took his life seriously, and only took a magic potion.

  "Ghost ships usually appear alone, rarely in groups, and they all appear at night.

   Being able to come out to rob during the day means that the ghosts on the ship have grown to the point where they can ignore the damage of sunlight.

  Three ghost ships act together, which means that the ghosts on board have good wisdom, or they have restored many memories of their lives.

  The last time we wiped out a ghost ship that appeared during the day was thirty years ago. We lost three warships and more than 800 soldiers, including an earth knight.

  Three ghost ships appear together during the day, the most recent ones being a hundred years ago. Let us bump into each other today, and I am afraid that a fierce battle will be inevitable in the future! "

   After sighing, Byron suddenly said: "Earl Hudson, you are the most powerful.

   After a while, the fight will start, and the matter of destroying the ghost ship is up to you! "

  Deep in his heart, he was secretly admiring Earl Pierce's foresight and foresight, and he helped to pull in reinforcements in advance.

   Without Hudson, a powerful thug, when encountering these things, his first reaction would be to order to run away.

   It counts as much as you can run, and experience tells him that he must never fight head-on with a ghost ship whose strength is unknown.

   Encountering this group of monsters, no matter how many ordinary soldiers there are, it doesn't make any sense. Only real masters can eliminate these weird guys.

   "Don't worry, I will find a chance to make a move!"

   Hudson said calmly.

  Deep in his heart, he already doubted that he was the protagonist. Originally, I just came out to make soy sauce, and by the way increased my experience in naval battles, and encountered a ghost ship of this level.
