Chapter 664 Chapter 1 and Chapter 2
Chapter 1 Decision to go to sea
It seems ordinary, but it is different in Fitrey's ears, because the envoy of Vedev said this, which means that these three countries are self-inflicted to a large extent.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xu Ziye is lurking on this road for so long, and it is impossible not to be discovered. However, not only was he not pursued, but he was promoted to a height that mortals could not reach, which shows that it is useful to keep Xu Ziye in the country.
What's the use of keeping a dead soul? Naturally, it's just to study the dead soul.
Before these three countries came to the Light of Justice, the temple discovered their tricks. The reason why the three countries chose to come to the Light of Justice was to avoid the eyes and ears of the temple, and imagined that they could create super troops and dominate the world.
However, there is still a gap between ideals and reality, and all three countries were defeated by Xu Ziye.
"Thank you, Lord God!" Fitrey said on his knees.
"Bithal Fitre, go back and confess your actions. Although these three countries deserve sin to be a certain extent, those civilians are innocent. The ones who deserve to be in power will be deprived of your position as the Archbishop of the Cardinal and you will be thrown into the prison of God!" Vetteff said righteously.
"I understand! My subordinates will definitely repent sincerely and ensure that they will eliminate similar incidents!" Fitrey bowed again and said.
...
Things in the Light of Justice were left unresolved, but Xu Ziye's name also shocked the Light World. The Light World listed Xu Ziye as an important wanted criminal, and the reward amount exceeded 20 million gold coins!
I have to say that this number is quite powerful.
Generally, national-level criminals are around millions of gold coins. Mainland-level criminals are also between tens of millions. However, this time, the price of 20 million was offered by the Light World, and it is obvious that they have begun to pay attention to Xu Ziye.
However, on the distant opposite shore, Xu Ziye didn't know that his head was so valuable now. He only had one thing he was worried about, that was energy.
Although Xu Ziye was the Lich King in the past, Xu Ziye had never managed a continent. Although the Light of Justice Continent is not big, it is a continent, not a small town after all. Xu Ziye's current resources are only enough to arm the coastal border defense. The magic tower in the mainland is basically a decoration and cannot be activated at all.
The new batch of Death Knights have been transformed again, and Xu Ziye took a short rest. Faced with advanced troops, Xu Ziye also has to do it himself. Although some tasks can be handed over to others, he has to do some things himself, otherwise there will definitely be insufficient staff.
"Master, the black gems have been used up now, and my hidden shadow troops can no longer create more people!" Rhine said to Xu Ziye who was resting.
Xu Ziye sighed. The hidden shadow troops are the strongest individual forces, and the undead are all advanced undeads. To transform these people, they must have high-purity black gems. They cannot use tree species like the transformed skeleton soldiers.
"The transformation work will be suspended first. We must find a way to get some resources, otherwise not only will we not be able to increase our troops, but the operation of the entire continent will be stagnant!" Xu Ziye said helplessly.
"Hey, it would be great if this road was rich in black gems or those undead crystals!" Rhine said.
Xu Ziye had a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly remembered something!
After becoming the Lich King, Xu Ziye once encountered a new continent on the sea, and the name of this continent was called the Dark Land.
Why is it called a dark place? The reason is very simple, because the overall color of this continent is black and there are no humans on it. At least when Xu Ziye discovered it, there were no humans. There were many precious ores in it. Those ores were basically suitable for use by the undead. The ore resources in this continent are extremely rich, not only black gem resources, but other resources are also quite rich, dozens or even dozens of times that of a normal continent!
Since this continent is located somewhere on the sea, very few people have discovered it.
There must be this continent in this world!
Find this continent! Xu Ziye will not lack resources!
"Rhine, I think I have a way!" Xu Ziye said to Rhine.
Rhine was stunned and asked, "What's the solution?"
"It seems that we are going to go out to sea!" Xu Ziye said in a deep voice: "We are going to find a new continent!"
"Master, we don't have enough resources on a continent. We will definitely not be able to occupy another piece!" Rhine said.
"It doesn't matter. This continent is full of minerals. Not only is the rich stock of black gems rich, but other energy sources are also quite rich. As long as you occupy this continent, the resource problem will be solved!" Xu Ziye said.
When Rhine heard this, her eyes lit up and said, "Okay, Lord, then where are we going?"
"Pick me the map!" Xu Ziye said.
So Rhine brought the map to Xu Ziye. This is the world map. Xu Ziye found the location of the Light of Justice, and then based on his memory, he found the location of the dark place.
However, the dark place was too difficult to find. In the end, Xu Ziye just locked in a general direction and could not determine where the dark place was.
But as long as there is a direction, you can find it. Since you have found it once, Xu Ziye believes that he will definitely be able to find it a second time.
When we arrived at a port, Xu Ziye and all the generals were there.
Xu Ziye first finalized the remaining personnel this time, and the management rights of the mainland will be temporarily handed over to Stander to manage. He was once the king of orcs and was very good at managing a country, so it would not be much worse to manage a continent.
Leave green and blue, blue can create some undead soldiers, while green can use dark planting to give those undead soldiers the ability to regenerate.
Green already knew about his wish. He would no longer ask for anything from his master. Lan didn't say anything this time. After all, he had completed the task well and wanted to take a proper rest.
The only thing that is dissatisfied with is Stander.
At this time, Stander was sitting on a hill sulking.
Xu Ziye came to Stander and patted Stander's legs, because Xu Ziye could only barely reach Stander's heel.
"Okay, don't be angry. The reason I didn't ask you to go this time is because your body is too huge and not suitable for sailing!" Xu Ziye said.
"I understand!" Stander said dullly.
Although he came to this continent, he also participated in the battle, but it was not enough. For the warlike orcs, only constant fighting was their nature.
Chapter 2: Making a Super Warship
Xu Ziye also knew what Stander was thinking, but this time it would definitely not work. As soon as Stander got on the boat, he had to take fewer people. From the perspective of strength, Xu Ziye could not take him with him.
Moreover, Stander is too big, and being black on the sea is easily regarded as a target. Although Xu Ziye is not sure what enemies he will encounter, he knows that there will be no pie falling from the sky, and this trip cannot be without risks. Stander's size is too easy to be discovered.
"Okay, I'll make a promise to you today. In the future, it will definitely make you fight happily. Don't worry, it's definitely a battle of more than 10,000 people!" Xu Ziye said with a smile.
"That's true!" Hearing that there was such a battle, Stander immediately became energetic.
"Absolutely guaranteed, don't be afraid that the enemy will be too strong!" Xu Ziye said.
"Haha, the Lord's promise has never been disappointed. With your words, don't worry! I will definitely guard this continent for you!" Stand said with a laugh, and the laughter made people feel that the earth was shaking.
Although Stander has been following Xu Ziye for a long time, Xu Ziye is still not used to Stander's heroic laughter and quickly shut up.
The matters of the entourage were settled, including Aimmon, Robin, Rhine, Enni, Yitt, Kitt, Rafi and Louis!
Next, Xu Ziye has to face a difficult problem, that is, shipbuilding!
Although the warships built by Xu Ziye are very suitable for going to sea, the scale is still too small. This time, it was a long journey to sea. There was no military supply or support. If anything happened at sea, it could only depend on yourself.
So you have to build a super warship that is three times larger than the warship in front of you.
The power of the warship is still powered by magic circles and tree species. Xu Ziye, who can summon the black plant, is not worried about the power of the ship. If it really doesn't work, use those huge dark plants to row the boat...
The warship needs to be large and strong, and you don’t want anything to eat and use. At this time, the advantages of the undead are reflected...
Although Xu Ziye knows some knowledge of shipbuilding, he is incomparable to those professional shipbuilding masters, so he still needs some professional people to do this.
White Soul collected many undead who died in the port war, some of whom knew how to build such a huge warship.
Xu Ziye used these ghosts to create a design drawing of a warship.
The warship is divided into four layers, two layers of the hull, and two layers above the deck.
The bottom space is used to store bone dragons. Although the warship is big enough, it is a bit difficult to store bone dragons that grow dozens of meters long. Xu Ziye estimated that a ship can carry up to ten bone dragons!
This has to be discharged side by side.
The second floor of the hull stores the Death Knights. They are generally used for charge and trapping, but they will not often encounter charge and trapping on the sea surface, so they are on the second floor of the hull.
The first floor of the deck is the location of the Deep Shadow Force. Many of them can use magic, and the individual soldiers are strong and have fast reaction speed, so they are suitable for staying on the first floor of the deck.
The second floor of the deck, which is the top floor, is where the archers are located. They have extraordinary eyesight and can observe dangers in the distance. Of course, there are also some advanced corpse witches, many of which are navigation experts.
It is no problem to find a hundred and ten sailing experts from such a huge continent.
There is a main gun in front and behind the hull, with a diameter of about ten meters, which is a typical siege cannon! Tree species are used as shells. Twenty secondary guns, with a diameter of about five meters, and the secondary gun alone has the power of the original main gun in the warship.
In addition, there are also some smaller ships where the bone dragon are placed, about ten meters long. The purpose of these ships is to guard, because not all sea areas require large warships to fight, and small warships are also indispensable. Each battleship is equipped with more than twenty such warships, of which eight usually float on the sea with the battleships, and the rest are inside the hull.
Although the warship is designed to be large enough, according to Xu Ziye's configuration, at least there is no free space for the hull.
Of course, making the drawings is only the first step, and the boat's keel is needed to be made!
The keel is a longitudinal member connecting the bow column and the stern column in the center of the base of the hull, which is located at the bottom of the ship. There are crossed ribs on the top of the keel to reinforce the bow. The bow and stern, and the keel is bypassed by the bow. The keel is usually the first part of the hull to be built.
The ship on the drawing is a pointed-bottom ship. The deck of the pointed-bottom sea ship is flat, the side of the ship is cut like a blade, and the cross-section of the ship is V-shaped. A keel that runs through the head and tail is set under the pointed-bottom ship to support the hull and make the ship stronger. At the same time, the draft is deep and the ability to resist wind and waves is very strong. In this way, even if you encounter sea monsters, you will not be capsized all at once.
Covering is the biggest danger at sea, no doubt, once it capsizes, it will basically be all done.
In order to ensure that the ship does not capsize, Xu Ziye ordered people to find a lot of materials such as steel plates, molten them with magic power, make them into extremely resistant shields, and then inlaid them on the hull. Although there are not many black gems on this continent, the resources such as steel are quite rich, and there is no problem in building such a fleet.
The keel was made by Xu Ziye using the Tree of the World, which took Xu Ziye a lot of effort. It was not easy to make six keels hundreds of meters long. After almost half a month, Xu Ziye finally made the six keels.
Stander played a huge role. He transported the keels to the port, and then the undead there waited until the keels were in place and began to build ships.
Since the keel is the crystallization of the tree of the world, it is not difficult to create a hull. In order to strengthen the hull, the hull no longer uses vines, but some huge tree stems.
The undead's job is to process the stems, cut them into various shapes, make them fit together perfectly, and finally apply magic-bred steel plates outside to seal the hull.
In order to withstand huge water pressure, the thickness of those steel plates is more than four meters, and the bow of the ship can even reach ten meters! In this way, even if some sea monsters attack, there is no need to worry about the hull breaking.
There are six such warships, each of which can carry about 3,000 undeads. In other words, the number of undead troops going out to sea this time is 18,000 undeads!
The shipbuilding project lasted for more than a month, and six large warships were finally completed.
Chapter completed!
