Chapter 363

To the south of the capital, it is close to the desert.

The scorching wind swept through the sparse trees in the wasteland, making the withered and yellow grass curl up. Under the sunlight, the river in the distance, like a silver ribbon, flows to the distance, passing through several small towns, and then straight to the end of the field of vision.

At the end of the field of vision is the boundless desert, which is the silent sand that separates the central area of the Empire and the southern fortress area. Because of the blocking of mountains, the humid air in the South can not reach the small plain. Coupled with the change of underground water, the fertile plain thousands of years ago has become the silent wasteland now.

Above the wasteland, a huge iron and steel building smoothly across the sky, casting a long and narrow shadow on the earth.

On the deck of gale, Joshua stood at the front end of the ship, watching the distance silently. The strong wind blowing from the front blew the soldiers' clothes and hair towards the rear, and the wind also rolled the flags on both sides of the ship, making it sound hunting.

Above the flag, the five-star ring and the arms of the sword holder are so conspicuous that they attract everyone's attention.

"A floating warship, thanks to the emperor's words."

He sighed in a soft voice, feeling the hot wind flowing by his side, and remembering the scene not long ago, Joshua could not help laughing: "Israel Diamond, this kind of spirit is really the spirit of emperors."

Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible for someone to send a new elite floating warship to others for no reason - the soldier is not a fool, he naturally knows the emperor's intention.

According to master Nostradamus, Yuanhai holy mountain only wanted to use his power of order to break through some areas blocked by evil forces. But the Empire didn't agree. It's OK. Since he agreed, it's absolutely impossible for him to go alone.

But to send an army across most of the world and go to the far south of the mainland to fight with dragons and beasts is the worst choice, both from a practical point of view and from a morale point of view. Even the most elite troops in the five legions may not be able to help, so Israel came up with a good idea.

Send out the floating warship gale, which is still in the experimental stage.

For the mages of the eastern plains, the magic tower in the air, the floating island, and even the floating city are not new things. After all, the magic furnace was originally born in their laboratory, but the floating warship is not so simple. What it needs is not pure buoyancy, but stable and lasting power.

To make a giant float in the air, any mage can easily do it after preparation. But to make a giant fly in the air, that's another completely different problem. Compared with the floating island, which can't move or moves very slowly, the magic furnace core of the floating warship must be miniaturized and stabilized, And in order to be able to mass manufacture in the future, convenient popularization, its production materials must also be as low as possible.

Before the gale, the Empire had designed many floating warships and made many small airships. However, due to the imperfection of the power system, most of them were sealed up. Until today, through long-term experiments and calculations, the mages have finished the commissioning of the gale.

Even the most demanding people on the mainland can't say that the Empire doesn't care about this. Moreover, with the power of this warship, it can certainly help the church to resist the dragon. At the same time, it can also collect actual combat data and show its technical strength in front of other countries.

As for why he gave this warship to himself so simply, Joshua thought that Israel thought that this warship would definitely fall in the battle with the dragon, but as long as he could collect data, it would be good for the Empire, which was eager to continue to improve its technology. Anyway, according to the agreement between the major forces, the wreckage of the warship would be sent back to the Empire, And with the character of a soldier, I certainly don't want these things.

"But don't worry about him."

Standing on the deck of gale, feeling the strong wind brought by the rapid flight of the floating warship, Joshua looked down at the clouds under him. He laughed and didn't want to think about the meaningless things.

But how to say, now this steel ship belongs to him! The former soldiers' regiment also had its own floating fortress, but it was built by all the members of the regiment. Now, the gale belongs to him alone!

What a luxury it is to own a floating warship!

[floating warship · gale]

[super large composite surgical structure, excellent quality]

[average hardness of outer armor: 72, ability: floating, magic propulsion, magic shield, physical damage reduction, high element immunity, ignoring corrosion, magic surge, strong wind charge (self explosion)][Auxiliary technique and external structure: five large magic focusing cannons, 40 conventional alchemy cannons, nine acceleration arrays, twelve floating arrays, positioning traction transmission, furnace core dissolution (self explosion)]

[Note: This is a large floating warship developed jointly by the imperial Royal mage Association and Guan tianbai tower, with a total length of 167 meters, It has good maneuverability. Compared with other floating warships in the experiment, the cost of liefeng is relatively low, but its combat capability is not inferior to that of other floating warships, and its power is far beyond that. The only defect is that because of the structure of the dual magic furnace core, there is a certain defect in the energy cycle, and it can not operate in full load mode for a long time, Otherwise, it is likely to automatically launch "gale charge" or "melting furnace core" and other capabilities

[wait, I haven't adjusted the energy system of this thing yet... What? Is that an advantage

[by: a designer who does not want to be named]

"Bang bang"

Just as Joshua was enjoying the strong wind on the deck, there was a rapid sound of footsteps behind him.

Already knowing who was coming, Joshua turned his head and looked behind him. Sure enough, the figure of the silver haired girl appeared in front of him.

Just after the gale was transferred from the secret laboratory of the Empire to Aden fortress, Nostradamus also sent Ying, Lin and Hei together. Because all the people present were resolute, the old mage discussed with the soldiers and Israel about the gale, He simply sent Joshua and his party to the floating warship and set out directly.

As a special type of floating ship, gale has the ability to respond and transmit. Strictly speaking, this floating ship can't transmit. It can only be "positioned and towed" by a large transmission array that meets the conditions, just like some kind of summoner. Moreover, this kind of towing ability is limited by the distance.

Around the imperial capital, there was a limited teleportation array. Only one of the three fortresses could not be affected, but the three fortresses could not reach the next teleportation point. Therefore, the gale could only stay as far away from the imperial capital as possible, and then respond to the teleportation array of the imperial Southern fortress. All the way, it passed through many kingdoms in Xishan and the fortresses on the far south border, Then we can reach the holy mountain of the distant sea - because of the transmission, it's not long, but it's very complicated.

All the way, it seems that the silver haired girl trotted to Joshua's side, and then said in a somewhat unstable tone, "master, gale has left the transmission area of the imperial capital. To prepare for the transmission, Mr. captain, please go back to the ship first."

"Well, I'll be right back."

Nodding, the soldier noticed that Ying's expression looked bad and uncomfortable. He frowned and asked in surprise and concern, "what's the matter, Ying, you don't look comfortable... Are you seasick?"

"No, I don't feel dizzy..." Miss Shenji frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment, but then she turned her lips and said with some headache: "but, black... Black seasick."

At this point, Ying looked a little angry. She took the corner of the soldier's clothes and frowned: "at first, Hei stayed in the cargo hold very quiet and didn't move. My younger brother thought he liked it very much, but when I went to chat with Hei, I found that he had completely fainted!"

"... no matter the Earth Dragon or the sea dragon, they are unlikely to have experienced flight. The black guy may be the first sea dragon to come to the sky."

He quickly found out the reason. Joshua silently touched the little head of the silver haired girl. He didn't know whether to laugh or to be serious: "it's really painful for Hei, but Ying, why do you look so ugly? Have you vomited? "

"No, but it licked me subconsciously in a coma!" First, she shook her head. Ying denied the soldier's conjecture. Then she complained discontentedly: "besides, it let out heat there after it was in a coma. It was completely inaccessible near the cargo hold."

"Hold on, hold?"

Hearing this word, Joshua suddenly felt a little strange. He turned his head and stared at the girl with silver hair, and Ying was a little flustered: "what's the matter, master..."

"I said... Didn't you give the Yi Xing pendant to Hei?"

This time it was the soldier's turn to have a headache: "when I got on the ship, I gave you and Lin Yi Xing's fall. The black body is so big that if you want to move freely, it must be smaller... Now it's still in the cargo hold..."

He shook his head. Joshua didn't know what to say, but the silver haired girl's face turned red quickly, She really forgot to blacken the pendant.

But even so, the soldier couldn't blame Ying, because he had forgotten it and had no position at all.

It's just that I'm suffering from blackness and seasickness. I still can't move freely. Now I can only stay in the narrow cargo hold."Forget it." With a sigh, Joshua could only make this decision: "I'll go and see it."
