Chapter 260 (2/2)
The King laughed ”Have you forgotten that the dwarfs have an abundance of ironwood?” He sh the Roland Continent also has ironwood, we do not have the luxury of using ironwood to make arrows! However, these damn dwarfs even use ironwood to make arrows! The speed of these arrows is extremely fast, and it could fly fifty percent further compared to ordinary bows and arrows In a naval battle, ould already have a headache before the shi+ps even got close Its range is even farther compared to a sorcerer’s spell attack If the two parties were to go into battle, our sorcerers would not be able to fly up and attack within the range of their bows and arrows”
”Besides that, the dwarfs are born as good artisans and they are good atfine weapons When they are still far away, they will use their bows and arrows to fight with us When both parties get closer, they will use another weapon to fight”
The King’s eyes flashed as he pointed at the drawing There were thin tubes stretching out on both sides of the hull of the shi+p He then said, ”This is a kind of nozzle Once the enemy shi+p is within a certain distance, black oil will be sprayed from the nozzle Once the enemy shi+p is covered in that oil, their archers will launch fire arrows Just a drop of the oil is enough to ignite The er the fire will be Although the Roland warshi+ps are made of ironwood and are more resistant to fire than other shi+ps, ironwood is still wood”
Rody was lost in thought as the King continued, ”According to the information I received, the dwarfs have a total of two hundred and fifty warshi+ps One of their largest five-sail warshi+ps can accommodate one thousand five hundred people Its combat effectiveness is definitely not lower than our Roland Continent’s first-class warshi+p Besides that…” The King showed a helpless smile and said, ”… e shi+ps The other s”
Rody closed his eyes and muttered, ”In other words, we lose out in speed We also do not have an advantage in long distance and also close distance battles Your Majesty, you certainly have givensave the drawing to Rody and sht directly with their navy The price of doing that is too big and it will be disastrous even if in”
After saying that, the King took out another thin roll of paper froic trick When spread out, it was the map of the sea
”We plan to attack in half athe last batch of warshi+ps in exchange for the prisoners of war!” He then pointed to the map and slowly said, ”Look here, this is their island Our fleet will pass by their left, all the way south, out of the sea and continue south towards the Radiant Eeous They are also afraid of being attacked by us This is hen the earlier fleets pass by, they will dispatch their navy to patrol the left side of their island! What we need to do is to take full advantage of this” The King smiled and continued, ”You will take the last batch of fleets which is a total of two hundred and fifty warshi+ps I will also gather the best of Sauron Kingdo for a day, the shi+ps will suddenly turn to the north!”
”North!” Rody’s eyes lit up Hesmiled and said, ”Looks like you also understand Our fleet would turn to the North After five days, ould be able to reach the back of their island After that…” The King suddenly waved his hand and clenched his fist resolutely said, ”We will diseht for a ood, but I do not understandsmiled and replied, ”My naval commanders will naturally be responsible for matters at the sea However, the responsibility falls on you once we diseuished country is invincible on land I hope you do not ive you the intelligence describing the distribution of the dwarf arhed ”It isplan a secret After all, I am just an outsider Your Majesty still needs to carry out these plans”
The King sht now Even the soldiers who are setting off in half a o I will issue a declaration of war at sea Until that time, this information absolutely would stay a secret”
At that radually left the pier The last one to leave was the flagshi+p
Aven stood on the bow deck of the flagshi+p His eyes were closed as he enjoyed the sunlight and the sea breeze He reat efforts to cal et ht affect the peace treaty Sigh…
Aven shook his head and the ily beautiful woet it, she likes wo about it?” He then opened his eyes and struggled to breathe as he called one of his trusted subordinates He then softly asked, ”Where are those things that we brought onto the shi+p?”
”They are all in the cabin”
”Good” Aven sighed in relief As requested by Nedis, Aven secretly made use of his position to help Nedis move her property to the Radiant E been sneaked onto the flagshi+p’s cabin before the journey
That could be regarded as s However, Aven would not think so He was siht Now that the shi+p has departed, invite my friends out of the cabin I presu there for such a long tihtly
That subordinate immediately accepted the order and went in After a while, with a tense expression, that subordinate caed man wore simple clothes He respectfully bowed the hness”
Aven frowned and asked, ”Who are you? Where is Miss Nedis?”
With an even etically and said, ”Our e to Your Highness She said that she still has some unfinished private matters to take care of in the capital and would not board the shi+p back Anyway, I will be responsible for dealing with the people collecting the merchandise at the Radiant Continent Master also said that Your Highness is hospitable and keeps his promises She said that you would definitely not disappoint your friends”
Aven was shocked and became a little unhappy ”She did not board the shi+p? Hmph, this woman actually dared to trick ht Since I have already promised Miss Nedis, I would definitely help until the endAh, what other matters does your ed man smiled and replied, ”I am not too sure but apparently someone has promised to meet the ht, so the o and find this person to understand what actually happened”
