Lords: From Civilization to the Stars.

Chapter 98: Humiliating the Fleet (th update! Please give me a monthly ticket! Please subscribe!)

Almost at the same time as the player's team was established, some new ocean-going ships began to be built in the dock of the landing site.

These ocean-going ships did not have the ability to fly in the sky, for a simple reason, because Leon did not have that much magic power to squander. The original aerospace battleships could only be used because of the environment of the Stonehenge and the unique war structure of the sea elves.

Now that they have begun preparing for a multi-front war, they naturally have to start from an economic perspective. More than 20 ships of different sizes are being built in the dock at the same time.

According to normal understanding, more than 20 ships like this would probably require a whole forest of wood.

But in fact, as an era oak tree that was watered and grown by the God of Life and Leon, it was enough to provide wood for building countless fleets. On the canopy that almost covered the entire sky, only an inconspicuous branch was needed to provide wood consumption for the entire fleet.

Thousands of Negative Star workers shuttled back and forth in the dock, constantly imprinting one symbol and pattern after another into the oak, creating one ocean-going vessel after another that was slightly different from the aerospace battleships.

'Gallen (magic)'

'Speed: 25'

'Armor: 120 (Age Oak Shell) +50 (Spell Protection) +30 (Will Protection)
When calculating armor penetration damage, due to runes and blessings, special damage reduction is 50%, magic damage reduction is 75%, ranged damage reduction is 75%, and physical damage reduction is 50%'

'Gun: 64 standard guns'

'Firepower: 100. Each gun can choose different ammunition damage according to the type of ammunition.'

'Carrying materials: 3000'

'Number of members: 200'

'As a classic sailing warship model, the Galleon has been around for a long time. In today's magical age, this classic model of sailing ship has become an excellent ocean-going ship after your large-scale improvement. Even each ship can serve as the flagship of a faction.'

I can only say that the Oak of Ages is a good thing, and the Oak of Ages with vitality is even better. The Oak of Ages with vitality and under one's control is simply the most perfect thing.

With such tremendous vitality, cutting off some branches can even make new branches grow better and more perfectly.

The tree canopy that almost covered the entire sky was filled with wood waiting to be trimmed and felled. Almost the entire ecosystem existed above the tree canopy, and the kingdom of those small creatures was even blessed by the God of Life. As the trunk that carried all of this, its material toughness and strength were far superior to steel.

That is to say, because Leon is the master of wonders and has absolute control, he can pluck wood from the Oak of Time all day long to build ships. Otherwise, the ordinary industrial age would be helpless against this tree.

More than twenty huge ships were being built in the dock, and all of their gun muzzles were forged by the newly arrived Norscans.

For the Norscans who have been besieged by the Empire for many years, artillery is the most familiar thing to them, but it is also a creation that they cannot understand at all. As long as they forge a cannon with their own hands, their recognition will rise rapidly. In just a few days, they can become a qualified negative star.

This entire fleet, which represents Leon's development plan for the next year, continues to grow and spread, and one day will reach the end of the world with the players' branch fleets to begin exploration.

As long as these fleets carrying Leon's will arrive, he will be able to know the information about the ice wall and other areas.

Although slowly developing in the Arctic is an option, how can we get more without exploring the planet? If there are some existences and substances that can trigger the evolution mechanism like a demon, that is what Leon wants to see.

'Five days remaining to build the fleet.' 'According to the fleet's psychic network lock, the fleet is controlled by you.

You can temporarily transfer various permissions, including navigation, firing, repair, abandonment, etc. to the members of the ship.'

'Your city landing site is transporting various supplies to the fleet.'

'Please note: these transported materials will exist as consumable units of the ship itself, and will not be consumable resources of the city. During the construction or production process, please pay attention to your own options to avoid accidents.'

'According to the current situation, you can choose to build a great flagship with high consumption to prove your faction's strongest reason. Once built successfully, the flagship will be regarded as a wonder. Please adjust the blueprint yourself and prepare the materials needed for construction. The great flagship will be a symbol of the country. If it is sunk, it will have a great impact. Please pay attention.'

A great flagship... We don't need this kind of thing right now.

When industrialization is complete and we enter the Iron Age and Refining Age, we can build large flagships. But now is still the Age of Sail, so building flagships doesn't seem to make much sense.

What's more, the mission has not been completed yet, the surrounding environment is not very certain, and the materials consumed in building a great flagship are an astronomical figure. The materials consumed in building a great flagship are enough to double the fleet in front of him. What kind of flagship is this?

However, at this moment, a flash of white suddenly appeared in Leon's sight.

A pure white fleet was sailing straight through the Chaos Sea, raising its pure color style, crossing the ocean like countless dolphins, and arriving at the area covered by the psychic lighthouse.

These white, slender ships seemed to be shocked by the existence of the psychic lighthouse, and hesitated for a moment on the ocean, but immediately raised their sails and headed towards the lighthouse and Fool's Beach. If the route remained the same, they would reach Sage Beach in about five days.

But who exactly is this fleet?
Before Li Ang could wonder, the following hint answered his question.

'The High Elves of Ulthuan have received your letter a few days ago!'

'The elves believe that your letter has insulted the elves' tens of thousands of years of history of fighting against Chaos. They believe that this is a racial humiliation and mockery, and that this is the most disrespectful behavior of lowly creatures.

But at the same time, the elves believe that your ideas and actions are correct. Due to various considerations, the high elves will send four Lothern Sea Guards to help your expedition team explore! At the same time, the high elves also sent a carefully worded letter to express their distrust of you and their complacency in fighting against Chaos.

They gave you a map and a distribution map of the winds of magic in the letter, and asked you to pay attention to the following areas. In order to prevent you from having a wrong understanding of chaos during the event, they will bring the Hos White Tower Mage and Stargazer with them to help you popularize the correct elven magic. And they try to ask you to take a more conventional and rational path to fight against the Chaos Demon.

This is a humiliating fleet from the elves, should we respond?'

"...?"

What is this saying?

What do you mean I insulted the history of the elves and they decided to support me?

Looking at the prompt from the system, Leon scratched his head in confusion. He had no idea whether this was a system error and nonsense, or if the elves themselves were just weird.
