This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 270 Recruiting again, another world version submarine?Your Highness's sweetheart

The first thing to do when returning to the Crown of the Ocean is to resurrect all the troops that were killed before, and then recruit all the troops accumulated in the past three weeks.

"Ding~ Consumed 381 units of rare resources and recruited a total of 3 units."

The current number of main arms is:
Water Fairy Archer, Tier 1, 700 star, [-] pieces.

Cancer Guard, Tier 1 and 700 star, [-] pieces.

Lobster Guard Knight, Tier 1 and 1670 star, [-] pieces.

Silver Sea Elf, 2th Tier 1788 Star, [-] pieces.

Naga guards, Tier 3 and 1660 stars, [-] pieces.

Dragon Blood Murloc, 3th Tier 1680 Star, [-] pieces.

Dragon Horn Catfish, Tier 4, 560 stars, [-] pieces.

Tyrannical Mosasaur, 5th Tier 90 Star, [-] pieces.

There are 8848 in total.

This wave of recruitment consumed nearly 400 million units of rare resources, making the number of Ocean Crown's main army approach the size of a [-]-strong team.

What's even more frightening is that, unlike some other players who recruited low-level units to reach ten thousand troops, the quality of his army is simply terrifying, with all five-level units.

The strength of this army is comparable to the main army of those kingdom-level and principality-level forces.

And at this time, the Crown of the Ocean really has the strength to wrestle with the Kingdom of Bath.

Ji Chen was very pleased.

After secretly developing for a long time, they finally possessed the power to gain a foothold in this world.

The Kingdom of Bath, huh?

At that time, your hair will be plucked out, and your butt will be smashed to pieces!
Even Jesus can't save you, I say!
Then, Ji Chen came to the underground world of the lizard people and found the dwarf Tomodo who supervised the apprentices forging.

He told about the encounter with a ghost ship on the way back.

Tomodo is a top level powerhouse in this world, and may know some unknown secrets.

"Ghost ship?"

"That's right, that ghost ship had tracked down one of my subordinates before, but this time it came to me. That ghost ship is huge, not inferior to the New Moon."

Tomodo frowned, stroking his rough beard with his iron-hard palm.

"This is a bit strange. There are a lot of rumors about ghost ships in the Mediterranean. The version I know has more than a dozen ships. There are warships and fishing boats, but I have never heard of them appearing. Such a big one."

"Besides these, are there any other unusual places?"

Ji Chen pondered for a while, "Although it sounds strange, I heard the ghost ship talking at that time, and no one else heard it, only I heard it."

"I can only vaguely hear some words, such as mission, blessing."

Tomodo looked stunned for a moment, his bushy eyebrows frowned, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Ji Chen noticed this, and said anxiously: "Your Excellency Tomodo, what do you know?"

"No, I don't know more than you." Tomodo shook his head, "But I don't think this ghost ship appeared by accident. There must be a reason for finding you."

"Maybe it's reminding you of something."

Ji Chen was a little crazy.

Reminder of what?Does it mean 'they're coming back'?
But who are 'they'?Just saying this can remind me of something! ?
This feeling of being kept out of the dark is very uncomfortable, especially this is another unusual thing, but he can't find enough clues, looking around like a clown.

Seeing his depressed look, Tomodo also comforted him.

"Boy, since you can't think of anything, then don't think about it at all. No matter what, as long as you become stronger, these things will be solved head-on."

"Being overly distracted by these things that are still unclear and intangible, that's putting the cart before the horse."

Ji Chen glanced at Tomodo in surprise, he didn't expect this carefree and irascible dwarf to be able to say such a thing.

But it did wake him up, and it's just mediocre to focus on these things that don't seem to be happening.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Tomodo, for your reminder. By the way, I have one more thing to say."

Ji Chen told the story that he occupied the Xingyao Islands and got a shipyard capable of manufacturing steel ships, as well as a large alchemy artillery factory.

This immediately made Tomodo very interested, "Didn't you go to help others solve the difficulties of sea beasts? Why did you shoot down other people's lairs?"

"Ahem, to put it simply, that group of congressmen didn't fulfill their promises, and occupied them by accident when they were making trouble for them."

Tomodo didn't pay attention to this at first, but was very interested in the shipyard he said, "The shipyard? It can manufacture steel warships like those of the Bath Kingdom that are docked at the surface port?"

"Almost, but the technical content must be much lower, and only small frigates can be built. After all, it is only an archipelago-level force."

From the perspective of technological content, the "battleships" manufactured by the Star Islands are actually steel civilian ships equipped with alchemy cannons, which are far from the level of systematic shipbuilding like the Kingdom of Bath.

Its combat power is naturally very limited, but it is better than wooden sailboats anyway.

And even if you don't make warships, you can build some steel cargo ships, merchant ships and the like to transport goods and people, which are much better than fragile wooden ships.

However, this time Ji Chen had other ideas.

"Your Excellency Tomodo, I have a question."

"Whether alchemy technology can create a steel ship that travels fast underwater."

"Steel ships traveling underwater?" Tomodo was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought, "I haven't heard of such ships, but they sound very interesting."

"Different from above the sea surface, if you want to drive underwater, you must consider the airtightness and water pressure resistance of steel. This is a great test for the type of steel and the alchemy process."

"At the same time, the alchemy cannons used by battleships naturally cannot work when they are in water, so they need other weapons that can attack in water. This may be inspired by the attack methods of the sea clan."

"However, the direction of power may refer to the propellers of warships, after all, they all operate in water."

As he said that, Tomodo's eyes became brighter, and he walked to the edge of the table as if ignoring Ji Chen, picked up a pen and began to draw on the parchment.

Little did he know that Ji Chen stared at him blankly, with surprise in his eyes.

As expected of a legendary dwarf blacksmith, Tomodo was able to think of a series of key points so quickly after he just said the concept of "submarine".

Maybe they can really create an alien version of the submarine!

Seeing how excited Tomodo was, Ji Chen didn't want to disturb him, so he left quietly.

Coming outside, several workshops were running rumblingly, and the clinking sound was endless, forming a steel ensemble.

Hundreds of lizard artisans are working here, producing weapons, shells, and various ironware all the time.

Just like the heart, it transmits a steady stream of blood and energy to the entire territory.

Connected to the workshop is a track leading to the surface. A strangely shaped alchemy locomotive pulls dozens of mine carts, transporting the materials on the surface and the goods produced by the workshop back and forth between the surface and underground.

This is the alien version of the mining locomotive that he commissioned Tomodo to build before. Thanks to the world's very advanced alchemy and rune technology, this kind of alchemy locomotive, which is similar to a steam train, is not very difficult to manufacture. high.

But the principle of manufacturing made him feel a little unbelievable.

I still remember how confused he was when Tomodo explained the principles of alchemy and runes to him.

This made Ji Chen even more certain that he had no talent in this area.

Afterwards, he plans to lay tracks throughout the underground lizardman world and the Crescent Islands, so that goods and manpower can be circulated at the fastest speed.

The goods produced by the workshops in the underground lizardman world are transported to the dock by rail, and then directly shipped to overseas markets. It is perfect.

A spark of the industrial revolution is quietly blooming underground on this island far away from the mainland.

However, Ji Chen has also heard in chat channels and forums that those goblins who are unique in the alchemy journey have the technology to create alchemy mechas for mining or even war.

He didn't know if there was a chance to get this kind of technology.

After all, a mecha is a man's dream, which man would not want to drive a mecha like a Gundam to kill everyone!
I remembered that there was a key to the goblin's main city, the giant tooth city, in the backpack, and this goblin city was located in the western continent.

In addition to the goblins in the Western Continent, the dwarf tribe that Tomodo entrusted him to gather is also there. In addition, the appearance of Xiakas's Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce also gave Ocean Crown the opportunity to develop a market there.

It seems that the trip to the Western Continent must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Ji Chen secretly thought, but the next step is to wait for the sea beast rebellion to end first, and then resolve the matter between the Kingdom of Bath and the Principality of Reinhardt as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he returned to the surface by taking a train on the way.

Go back to the lord's castle.

He began to think about how to intervene in the affairs of the two countries.

First of all, his enemy must be the Kingdom of Bath, while his ally is naturally the Principality of Reinhardt.

Regardless of the cause of the incident.

After the Kingdom of Bath sent a reconnaissance fleet to attack the Crown of the Ocean, he formed an irresolvable grudge with the former.

Ji Chen wants to contribute to the overthrow of this kingdom, while the former wants to destroy the weak but obstructive Ocean Crown in their eyes

From this standpoint, he naturally favored the Principality of Reinhardt, or the Grand Duke's daughter Monica.

When I met Monica for the first time, Ocean Crown was still just an inconspicuous small territory, with only a few hundred troops and thousands of human subjects, and the only territory was the Crescent Islands. There are not even goods and commodities that can be handed out.

And several months passed, and the power he possessed now expanded rapidly.

Almost reached the size of an army of [-] troops.

The Great Fluorescent Sea Secret Realm was brought under the rule, and the well-known and rich Xingyao Islands were also surrendered under their feet.

The goods of Ocean Crown are also selling well in the North Continent, and their reputation has been greatly improved.

Come to think of it, all of this would surprise Monica too.

Ji Chen couldn't help showing a smile when he thought of that very lively little girl who looked dignified and elegant but longed for freedom in her heart.

They may meet again soon.

At the same time.

The city of Trins, thousands of miles away.

If you ask the aborigines on the northwest coast of the Mediterranean Ocean which coastal city is the most beautiful, they will definitely answer Trince City.

As the capital of the Principality of Reinhardt, Trince City is located on the seashore, surrounded by the sea on two sides, with mountains on one side and rivers on the other, with a long and excellent coastline.

Not only is there an excellent large-scale safe haven, but it also has an extremely pleasant long white sand beach. Scores of seagulls soar in the sky, overlooking the urban area that stretches for tens of miles below.

The houses with white walls and blue tiles are clustered together, coiled on the high ground according to the terrain, built against the mountains but not steep, and with the adjacent blue sea, it has a feeling of heaven and earth.

The castle located at the highest point of the entire city is the ruler of the Duchy of Reinhardt - the Grand Duke family, the seat of the Valencia family's court.

At this time, in a spacious room in the castle, Monica was wearing a white silk dress, holding a quill pen in her beautiful hand, and was concentrating on drawing on the parchment in front of her.

Judging from the slightly raised corners of her mouth unconsciously, she was in a good mood.

At this time, the door was suddenly knocked lightly, which shocked Monica. She carefully put the parchment into the drawer like a thief, then forced herself to calm down, straightened her back and said calmly.

"come in."

The door was pushed open, and several maids came in, and the mature maid at the head saluted.

"Lord Monica, Your Majesty invites you to the hall."

"Father?" Monica was taken aback for a moment, probably asking about the conflict and war between the Principality and the Kingdom of Bath.

"I know, I'll go in a minute."

Under the costumes of several maids, Monica put on an exquisite blue dress. The ordinary decorations on her showed a different beauty, which made the eyes of the maids beside her shine.

The flower-decorated shoulder straps hang lightly on the soft white shoulders like a ball of fat. Under the conservative collar is an amazing arc. The slim skirt waist outlines the graceful waist, like a white swan The beautiful neck wears a necklace dotted with sapphires, which is the finishing touch.

"Your highness, you are so beautiful. I don't know who your highness's future husband is. I am so lucky to marry such a beautiful and intelligent woman." The head maid praised sincerely.

This made Monica's cheeks dyed two blush, "I will not marry, I am determined to dedicate everything to the Principality, and have always witnessed its prosperity and strength."

But when he said this, he thought of a person in his heart, and his eyes drifted slightly.

Seeing Monica's expression like this, how could the fairy-like head maid not know that His Highness had someone in his heart, thinking of which nobleman's son or prince of a country, who was so lucky to get His Highness's heart.

But that's fine, if he marries with a certain big noble family, then His Majesty will definitely be able to further stabilize the position of Grand Duke and fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Principality.

It would be even better if she married into a certain kingdom. With His Highness's wisdom and methods, she would definitely be able to eat her to death. When the two countries are reconciled and exchange what is needed, the Principality will only become stronger and more prosperous.
