Chapter 424 Quasi-Legendary battleship “The Cape of the Storm” (4200 words)
woo woo
The pointed bow was split, and then reconvened at the stern. The fully outfitting “Cape Storm” finally set sail again.
Although from the outside, this Level 4 ship has hardly changed.
But it was only the crew who served on this ship that realized that even without that temporarily untested portrait, this battleship was nothing like it used to be!
With Alwin’s record of beheading a third rank Totem god and bringing back the opponent’s body, after detonating like a bomb in the middle of the garrison, his title of brigadier general has been firmly established.
No more “Navy Rising Stars” on the so-called Navy New Generation facade.
But a high-level officer of the kingdom who has both military merit and strength, and can justifiably be on an equal footing with most of them! Also a member of the ruling class of this country!
Moreover, he is valued by the Crown Prince and even Queen Your Majesty, shouldering a special mission, and has boundless prospects in the limelight.
It is almost foreseeable that this young brigadier general will become one of the high-ranking forces in the future kingdom’s navy when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Riviana succeeds to the throne.
Even many of the old foxes who have daughters and nieces at home have begun to wonder how they can find a way to get closer to each other.
So.
When Alwin proposed to replace the onboard guns for the ship “Cape Storm”, the senior garrison headed by Vice Admiral Gustav directly agreed without the slightest hesitation.
And in the process of order execution, all departments have a green light all the way, unobstructed.
Although the elites in the middle class may not have actually sailed a ship, their ability to see the wind and rudder is brought to the point of perfection, even if there are a large number of heavy artillery that can only be equipped by Level 3 ships, immediately get ready.
At this point, on the hardware side.
Originally a Level 4 battleship, the “Cape Storm” has a total of 18 Sects of 24-pounder guns, 20 12-pounder guns, 10 9-pounder guns, and 6-pounder guns. two doors.
Now it has been updated, and after the second outfitting, it has become a 32-pounder with 18 Sects, twenty 18-pounder guns, 10 12-pounder guns, and two 6-pounder guns.
The total projected mass has increased from the original 774 pounds to 1268 pounds, which has reached 70% of the total projected mass of the 74-gun Level 3 ship, and the overall firepower has undergone a qualitative change.
And this level has not reached the strength limit of this iron-ribbed wooden shell battleship, and still has sufficient surplus load.
In fact, for a wizard, the sails of this battleship can also be enchanted accordingly. However, the sail made of canvas material is a consumable item, and the cost-effectiveness of enchanting is not high.
Unless a supernatural material is used completely, such as a sea monster skin, etc., for permanent enchantment curing.
However, that may not happen until you actually build your own Legendary battleship.
In the new-look Cape Storm.
After the initial excitement period, Milan looked at the vast sea and felt that it was really soulless to do sea trials against the air.
“Since we are going to conduct a sea trial, we should find a target for the test, right?”
“Don’t worry, isn’t the target here?”
Alwin tone barely fell.
Flickering——
The messenger Bess, who was traveling with the ship, had already flown to the bottom spars of the main mast.
“Report to Commander, 25 nautical miles away from three o’clock, a pirate ship that is not ours has been found!”
Has a reconnaissance network that covers almost the entire yellow golden sea , almost nothing can hide from Bass’s eyes and ears.
And after taking up the wizard apprentice, with the progress of the owl’s witchcraft ability and spirit strength, its ability to process information has also been greatly enhanced.
“Order, full rudder to the right, full speed ahead!”
“Yes, full rudder to the right!”
Now the Cape Storm has changed positions The captain and helmsman named Thomas was thirty-three years old when he was young and experienced.
Repeating the captain’s order aloud, to be able to drive such a battleship in his lifetime, Thomas felt that his blood had almost begun to burn.
Pop—
Alwin, meanwhile, has snapped his fingers lightly.
[The Head Portrait·Storm Cape] has a sea-blue color halo exploded, spreading to the entire battleship in an instant.
Whispering
Immediately afterwards, in a pleasant sound of waves, the translucent water film rose from the bottom of the boat and spread to the position close to the deck, and suddenly became excited after the stern. The white spray also instantly turned into the shape of a fish tail.
It was as if there was a giant Great White Shark made of water. It gently lifted the “Storm Horn” with its back, and swung its giant tail against the surface of the water at high speed.
Ability: [Baby shark cruise].
The Great White Shark, also known as the white shark, belongs to the Mackerelidae family, which is the fastest shark in the ocean. Even an ordinary individual can reach a speed of 56 km/h, which is 30 knots!
Although the “White Shark Cruise” can make the huge “Storm Horn” directly obtain that kind of speed, it can also attach a streamlined water film to the outside of the hull, changing the length and width of the battleship in disguise. At the same time, stirring the water flow provides additional power.
Make the “Cape Storm” reach the limit speed of 20-22 knots in a short time!
And because the Great White Shark never stops swimming, it can reach a speed of 6 knots even in low-power sailing that can be maintained all day long.
Compared with “Monsoon Goddess”, there is no need to look at God’s face at all. This is the real rowing without paddles, and it all depends on the waves in the waves.
Now.
The two strongest and fastest battleships in Alwin’s hands, the heavy cruiser “Daystar” is the representative of peak shipbuilding technology, while the Level 4 battleship “Storm Cape” is the condensation of extraordinary abilities.
“Cheers! Celebrate our looted wealth ranking first in the regiment.”
“Cheers! Congratulations to the captain, you have done a great job for the Pirate King, and will be promoted to the deputy captain soon. I’m done.”
“Cheers! Although there are five or six deputy commanders, if the country can be successfully established in the future, at least one general will be appointed! ‘Execution knife’ General Kidd!”
There is a grand celebration going on on the pirate ship, barrels of rum being brought out and stacked on the deck, the Pirate King’s reward for their outstanding performance during this time.
All pirates are indulging in drinking, for the reward of the pirate king, and for the bright future after the kingdom of Cyrus is recruited!
The first black clothed middle age person with a sullen appearance, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, stood up with a glass of wine and promised his pirate cadres:
“Hahaha, no matter where I kid my brother, I will not forget my brothers! Have a good drink today, cheers!”
“Long live the captain!”
p>
“”
Suddenly, Kidd, who was still very awake despite drinking a lot, saw a small dot suddenly appear on the sea in the distance, and then it quickly became larger.
“Hey, what is that? It’s so fast!”
clang!clang!clang!
At the same time, on the observation deck of the mast, the same hug The lookout with a bottle of rum also tried his best to sound the alarm.
It was too late when the crew members who had drank a lot reacted and sped away.
Actually, it makes no difference whether you drink or not.
The “Cape Storm” was at full speed, and it only took more than an hour to complete the black sail pirate ship. Encircled within the range of their own artillery.
“No warning, direct attack, gunners ready!”
“All guns, solid ammo, reload!”
In Gunnery Specialist Under the training of Boris, the “Storm Horn” already has an extremely skilled artillery team, no less than any elite navy.
“Fire!”
bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!
In orange red, the total mass of one side is 639 pounds The scorching cannonballs were already like locusts, roaring towards the pirate ship that had already turned its bow but could not escape at all.
[Artillery Commander Knife Artillery Extreme]: It can exert 200% of the range, precision, and formidable power of the ship’s artillery.
Even compared with an ordinary battleship, cruise ships and pirate ships below Level 4 will only be as powerless as ordinary boxing hobbyists facing heavyweight boxers, and at this time, “Storm Cape” “No.” is a fully armed Knight with a steel sword and a warhorse!
It is not “powerlessness”, but “desperation” for them!
In just one round of salvos, this powerful three-masted pirate ship was riddled with holes and wailed everywhere.
The pirates on the ship have been directly beaten by this wave of justice, and the souls of the few survivors are constantly echoing “who am I” and “where am I”.
“Order, turn the bow and let me rush up!”
“Yes! Your Excellency Captain!”
Railmaster Vader and helmsman Tomma With the cooperation of the soldiers, the “Cape of Storms” made a very small arc on the sea, and aimed the bow at the pirate ship that had lost power.
Indicates the current excellent handling of this battleship.
Pop—
After a finger snap.
【Ship Head·Storm Cape】exploded the halo of second sea-blue color.
huhuhu
The roaring cyclones piled up and gathered in front of the Cape Storm, clinging to the water’s surface, near the normal ship’s waterline.
Then slowly converged into a ram of whirlwinds and rapids, and at the same time formed a whistling cyclone barrier all around the hull, and the sails swelled immediately.
Abilities: 【Unicorn Shark】.
In the piercing hum, the entire battleship seemed to be carrying a giant drill, accelerating again.
Then with irresistible power, it slammed through the hull of the pirate ship from near the waterline, and then easily tore the entire pirate ship in half.
Boom—! ! !
As long as it is within two meters of the angle of impact, both the ship’s board and the human body will be easily smashed by the power of the whirlwind and the rapids, and even the hard iron cannon will be blown away after being twisted and deformed. hundreds of meters away.
pēng pēng pēng
fell into the sea.
When the Cape Storm passed between the mutilated halves of the pirate ship, the ship was completely devoid of life.
This is the strongest single-target attack skill, and one of the remnants of the Totem god Ovig.
With the high-speed rushing battleship, almost no wooden hull can resist.
In other words, even if there is a Level 1 ship with a hull of more than one meter standing in front of Cape Storm, there will be no exceptions to the ending.
Of course, it comes at a price.
After one activation, the cooldown of this ability often reaches half a month, because it mainly relies on Ovig’s residual power, during this period, even if the external gem is replaced, it cannot be restarted.
wu wu wu
The whirlwind whimpered.
The Horn of the Storm continued to move forward until the wreckage behind it no longer had a shadow. All the crew were also shocked by the formidable power of the head statue, and they couldn’t come back to their senses for a long time.
It took a while.
Alwin, who was also somewhat absent-minded, remembered to take the initiative to turn off this ability and coughed to cover up his excitement:
“cough cough, yes, you can see clearly Which pirate group is that?”
The officers behind him also came back to his senses.
“That ship seems to be under the oathbreaker Bradley’s.”
“Oh, that’s fine. However, this kind of taking off the military uniform. The days of robbing a merchant ship, putting on military uniforms and fighting pirates feel really good!”
The officers on the ship followed the nodded, deeply agreeing.
“Not bad! Not bad!”
And, in the future, just make sure you’re standing on the Horn of the Storm when you fight, and prepare for the fruits of victory with ease and joy That’s it.
Although it is abusive, there is no suspense, but it is refreshing enough!
The last conventional ability of even the head portrait has not been used, and it has already solved a three-masted pirate ship that is definitely not weak among pirates, and is almost equivalent to a Level 5 ship.
Through this actual sea trial, it is enough to verify the strength of the head statue and “Cape Storm”.
Because of the dual authority of the sea shark Ovig and the water, three abilities were finally solidified on the head statue, [Shirab Cruise], [Singular Shark] and [Scorpion Halo], the same Time can only open one.
The last ability that could not be used is [White Shark Aura].
Effect: Increases all attributes of shark species by 20%, with a daily time limit of 30 minutes, effective within a radius of 100 meters.
Perhaps, it’s a complete joke giveaway to others.
But for the crew of Alwin’s crew equipped with “revitalized sharkskin”, it was simply made in Heaven and arranged by Earth.
As long as they put on the “activating shark skin”, plus this 20% increase, almost all members can reach the peak of apprenticeship and become invincible melee combat not just in name only, but also in reality , is already a strategic capability.
The most important thing is that it is valid under the third rank, that is to say, even other officers beyond the Ordinary Level, wearing the shark skin of the magical creature level, can still get an increase.
Therefore, there will only be one source of “animated animal skins” for the crew of “Storm Horn” in the future, and that is – sharks!
However, there are more than 500 species of sharks recorded by human beings alone. Even if it is limited to this one species, it is enough for Alwin to select carefully.
On the day of beheading Ovig, the two demonized sharks that were captured were also useful, which is gratifying.
“Switch the forehead!”
crack crack
As the gears of the bow lift gear turn, “Storm Point” slowly descends, “Monsoon Goddess” “Raised slowly.
The new head portrait has many advantages, but it is better at short bursts. The two heads are used alternately to form a complement, even with the quasi-Legendary “Red Maple” of Cyrus, the most skilled in speed.
With the sturdy hull of the iron rib and wooden shell, the powerful firepower and the [Ocean Treasure·Artillery Command Knife! ]
Now, “The Horn of the Storm” is enough to crush any conventional battleship, and it is fully qualified to be called a quasi-Legendary battleship!
So.
Standing on the poop, Alwin waved his right hand vigorously, facing the glowing eyes of the officers and soldiers on his ship, and said:
“Now, everyone can Cheers!”
“Long live the Cape Storm!”
“Long live Your Excellency Captain!”
“”
Turbans and military caps were flying, and the deck was instantly boiling.
