Arcane Universe

Before setting sail again, he must first repair the steam boilers of the five captive merchant ships.

In the battle before being captured, the steam boilers on these five merchant ships were taken care of by the old captain. They were basically completely destroyed. After being captured, Feng Chou took the entire Fleet has received Universe Pagoda, and repaired the magic power system of five merchant ships, but Feng Chou gave up repairing the steam boiler.

This is because these steam boilers were damaged too badly, and the ship was on the open sea at the time, and the conditions for repairing the steam boiler were not available at all. It is of course easy for Universe Pagoda to repair the boiler, but after the repair, this lies at all. The circle does not come back.

He took out all the goblin engineers under Captain Adok. As a member of the black liquid pirates, there were a lot of goblins under Captain Adok, but they eventually followed him to the North Continent. There are not many, there are thirteen in all.

These thirteen goblins, except for the three with the professional level of engineers, the others know some engineering skills more or less.

In addition to these thirteen goblins, the old captain has a middle-level human engineer who was originally responsible for maintaining and operating the steam engine under the old captain. This time the old captain retired, and the engineer who was over half a hundred years old also retired with him. , This time was re-recruited by the old captain.

When Feng Chou used Universe Pagoda to collect talents, he also tried his best to collect more than 20 human low-level engineers. These people can barely participate in boiler repairs.

Apart from this, on the five merchant ships, there were originally some human low-level engineers. Although they lost a lot in the boiler explosion, they could still make up more than twenty.

With more than fifty engineers organized, and with the help of large-scale engineering constructs, Feng Chou thinks that there should be enough manpower.

He drove a merchant ship close to the only dock in the corner of the wharf, and found dozens of magic welding torches, magic lathes, and small magic forging from the cargo hold of the development Knight as if by magic. Machine… and other necessary machines and tools for repairing steam engines.

In fact, these tools are made by Universe Pagoda, and then put in the warehouse of the development Knight.

With complete tools and the help of a large engineering structure, it took more than a month for these engineers to finally repair five merchant ship steam engines.

When the engineers were repairing the ship, Feng Chou took two thousand sets of +5 magic equipment and went to the Green Dragon tribe. He picked a thousand high-level ones from the Green Dragon tribe. Green Dragon descendant warriors, and armed these warriors with +5 magic equipment.

Because of fear that the defensive power of Green Dragon Island will be insufficient if one thousand high-level Green Dragon descendants are taken away, Feng Chou used another thousand sets of +5 equipment to remove the remaining thousand in the tribe. The high-ranking Green Dragon descendants are armed.

In this way, even if a thousand elites are taken away by Feng Chou, the strength of the Green Dragon tribe will not decline.

The 1,000 Green Dragon fighters recruited will be assigned to each battleship by Feng Chou as hand-to-hand combat soldiers to strengthen the battle strength of each ship.

Like Green Dragon, Green Dragon descendants have both Water Element and natural attributes. They are very suitable to become sailors. Amazon captains and goblin captains like to hire Green Dragon descendants and Black Dragon descendants as sailors.

With these thousands of high-ranking dragonborn armed to the teeth, Feng Chou can not only free up some sailors to turn into gunners, take advantage of the number of merchant ship artillery, but also greatly improve fleet’s hand-to-hand combat. ability.

After more than a month of rushing to work, the housing problem of more than 7,000 residents has been basically solved.

The first to be completed is the school located in the northeast corner of the town. The school is a huge courtyard. All around is a simple dormitory. The front part is a simple classroom, and the second part is a large playground.

Two thousand teenagers were all settled in, and half of Feng Chou’s original apprentices were transferred to this school as instructors.

The other half of the apprentices, especially scholar apprentices, were all appointed as territorial officials and placed on various construction sites.

After the school was completed, the masons and carpenters led the people to build a large number of simple bungalows in the town. In just one month, more than a thousand simple bungalows were in the town and the reservoir castle. Rising around, the leaders finally got rid of the tent.

To settle everything on the island, Feng Chou led the fleet away from Green Dragon Island and headed for the southern continent.

From Green Dragon Island to the southern mainland, there is only less than 30,000 kilometers left, but this 30,000 kilometers is the most dangerous 30,000 kilometers on the entire southern mainland route, because this piece of Sea Territory is the territory of bloodsail pirates.

Bloodsail pirates are a group of cruel Amazon pirates. It is said that behind this group of pirates is the support of Amazon Princess Zhang, the first heir to the Amazon Queen.

Bloodsail pirates are not as strong as black liquid pirates. Their firepower is not strong, and most of their ships are sailboats, but Amazonian sailboats cannot be regarded as ordinary sailboats.

The size of Amazonian sailboats is not large, the hull is mostly made of extremely strong magic wood, and the mast is at least intermediate magic wood.

A female Amazon warrior, as long as she reaches a high level or above, she can summon and control the storm. They control the storm and propel the sailboat, allowing the sailboat to gain a terrifying speed faster than the magic steam hybrid ship in a short time.

Bloodsail pirates generally adopt wolves tactics when plundering. A group of small Amazon sailboats, driven by the hurricane, surround the merchant ship from all directions.

Once her sailing ship is approaching the enemy ship, the Amazon female warriors of high rank and above will fly onto the enemy ship in the violent wind and engage in a cruel battle to seize the ship.

Even if the Amazon female warrior does not use the storm thunder divine technique, but only relies on hand-to-hand combat, the ordinary person warrior is not an opponent. Even more how this kind of professional can control the thunder storm. Let an ordinary weapon carry the lightning formidable power equivalent to Fifth Level spell, even if it is +4 magic armor, under such electric explosive formidable power, it will be penetrated in two hits, even if it is +5 magic armor , It can’t be supported for long with such electric explosive weapons.

Don’t look at Feng Chou not taking the +5 magic equipment seriously. In fact, even in Owendell, which is rich in magic equipment, +4 magic armor and +5 magic weapons are the majority The main equipment of advanced warrior, which can wear +5 magic armor, are all advanced warrior.

After all, even in Owendale, a set of +5 magic equipment is worth more than 150,000 kronor. This is the official price for limited purchases. In the black market, this price does not double. strange.

One hundred and fifty thousand crowns, even in the periphery of a big city like Casalanca, is enough to buy a Knight-collar-level manor.

Of course, an advanced warrior who has the courage to venture on the Southern Continent route, as long as the luck is not too bad, a set of +5 magic equipment is nothing difficult.

But the problem is that even the +5 magic armor is not insured in front of Amazon warriors. Amazon’s electric explosive weapons only require weapon contact, and they will follow your weapon shield conduction to strike. It is inevitable and inevitable, and the frequency of electric shocks of Amazon warriors is very high. Under such saturated formidable power and high-frequency attacks, even +5 magic armor will soon be affected by the lack of energy supply. Break through magical defenses.

Once the magic protection of the magic armor is broken down, lightning can penetrate the armor and cause fatal damage to the warriors inside.

A human merchant ship, once it is boarded by a group of high-ranking Amazon women warriors, it is simply a disaster. The Amazon women warriors will set off a storm that makes people unable to open their eyes and stand on the ship. In such a harsh environment, human warriors are struggling to move, but Amazon female warriors can like a fish back in water. They wield terrible electric explosive weapons and slaughtered wildly in the chaos.

Even the same ferocious goblin black liquid pirates have a strategic withdrawal from the Amazon pirates, which can be seen from the looting locations occupied by the two.

For the pirates in the southern continent, of course, the merchant ship from the northern continent has more oil and water.

So, the next section of the sea route is trembling with fear for all merchant ships, like walking on thin ice.

Feng Chou’s fleet sailed northeast from Green Dragon Island. After entering the ocean current, it turned to sail due east.

After sailing eastward from Green Dragon Island for about 7,000 kilometers, fleet will encounter another archipelago.

This archipelago is larger than the Dylan archipelago, with more islands and longer stretches.

The direction of this archipelago is basically the same as that of the South Equatorial Ocean Current. Its head is located north of the middle of the ocean current. After extending for eight or nine thousand kilometers to the east, its tail section is located in the south of the South Equatorial Ocean current. position.

Among this chain of islands, 2/3 of the islands have fresh water, and many large islands have excellent natural ports.

Unfortunately, the past merchant ships dare not go to these islands to supplement.

Because in this Bloodsail Islands, there is not only no supply port, but also the terrible hunting of bloodsail pirates.

Yes, this archipelago is called the Blood Sail Islands, because it is a hunting ground for blood sail pirates.

From the Dylan Islands to the east, you enter the direct influence area of ​​the gods of the Southern Continent. Once the official forces of the Northern Continent enter this range, they will be attacked by the Divine Punishment and cannot stand at all.

So, after passing the Dylan Islands, there are no more supply fortresses, and some are only traps that use island water as bait.

For this point, all merchant ships that come to the South Continent are very aware.

Fortunately, in recent years, because they realized the importance of trade, Amazons have begun to suppress piracy, and bloodsail pirates have not been as arrogant as in previous years.

Ten years ago, in this Sea Territory, there were thousands of long and narrow flying shears with blood sails, cruising around, like packs of wolves hunting, forcing merchant ships to go around. road.

When the blood sail pirates were the most arrogant, they simply hunted outside the Port of Manta, almost cutting off the trade between the North and the South.

Feng Chou led the fleet to avoid the Blood Sail Islands, cautiously crossed the 20,000-kilometer Sea Territory in one breath. Fortunately, they didn’t even hit a blood ship. Sail pirate ship.

Of course, this is nothing strange. Although the Blood Sail Pirates are known as Thousand Sails, they have to block the ocean current belt more than 3,000 kilometers wide. That is also a idiot dream. Even more how, Feng Chou is entering the Blood Sail Islands. After the section of Sea Territory where I was, I left the ocean current belt to the south.

Even in the most arrogant years of Bloodsail pirates, they were unable to block this route. Their madness outside the Port of Manta only destroyed the Amazons’ own trade and made the southern pirates cheaper. Flynn only.

After fleet arrived near the coast of the South Continent, Feng Chou took the fleet to the south for a certain distance. In the southern part of the Amazon Kingdom, more than 2,000 kilometers from the coastline, it anchored on a deserted island far away from the coastal ocean currents. Stop the ship.

To make the old captain take other ships on the deserted island to wait for his news, Feng Chou took one of the five merchant ships piloted by Captain Adok and sailed towards the port of Manta.
