Chapter 103: Upside Down Mountain and Sea Battle
The nobles of the Kingdom of Goa were wiped out by Garen, and the country completely became Garen's back garden and base camp.
With the full cooperation of the Michael family, Debang Logistics' shipping business has also been rapidly rolling out in various parts of the East China Sea.
As for the activities of clearing out pirates and maintaining public order, chief instructor Dasqi is also responsible for it.
A giant rapidly developed and formed in the East China Sea, constantly changing the original order of the East China Sea:
From Samwell Island to the West Village of Cocoa, from the Debang Territory to the Kingdom of Goya, the majestic golden sword flags hung high where the Knight of Justice Galen stepped on.
When pirates see such a flag, they will even feel more fearful than encountering the navy.
Debang Logistics Company, which claims to be "enthusiastic people in the East China Sea", is spreading towards the entire East China Sea at an astonishing speed along the route of shipping business, and the comfortable life of the East China Sea pirates has finally gone forever.
But Galen, who made it all, knew very well:
Without overwhelming power, everything you build will be a castle in the air.
So he did not stop in the East China Sea to enjoy the noble life of the Tu Emperor, but chose to embark on a new journey as soon as possible:
Great waterway.
Galen handed over the company's government affairs to Dicos, military affairs to Daschi, finances to Borgkin, and he sailed towards the entrance of the great channel on the flagship "Dreadnought Warship Warrior" and sailed towards the Upside Down Mountain.
In addition to more than 300 elite sailors, the entourage also had the talented Miss Nami who was looking forward to the great channel and Princess Vivi, the "custodian" of Garen's trip.
Wallace wanted to continue to follow Garen as a military reporter, but he had just become king for a while, naturally, inconvenient for him to leave his beautiful newlywed wife and the country that was in full swing after the chaos.
However, although he could not accompany him in person, Wallace was unwilling to let go of Garen's identity as a "monarchist".
The perfect legend that created the Justice Knight Garen is Wallace's dream that has been persistent.
He arranged for many junior reporters to follow Garen's ship to be responsible for news and publicity, and he also kept in remote contact with him at any time with valuable video telephone bugs.
Once Galen makes any big news on the Great Waterway, Wallace will write for him remotely and then spread these exciting stories throughout the East China Sea.
....................................................
The entrance from the East China Sea to the great waterway, reverse the mountain.
There are various incredible natural phenomena in this world, and the Cangshan is one of them:
It is said that because the four ocean currents flowing here are so powerful that the water current can overcome gravity and flow upward, the ocean current forms a waterway similar to an elevator in the special terrain of the Denun Mountain.
This "elevator" can transport sea boats from sea level to the top of the mountain, and then transport them into the great waterway through the transportation hub on the top of the mountain.
The "Dreadless Battleship War Sword" that Garen was riding was extremely large in size and seemed extremely small in front of this strange ascending current:
I just felt a violent trembling feeling rising from the bottom of the ship, and the giant ship as majestic as mountains sailed towards the peaks of the Cangshan Mountain with the water;
The waves in the channel were very big, and Garen's huge ship seemed turbulent and unstable in this restless current.
Nami, who was a navigator, was not afraid of the big waves, but was excited.
She kept holding the handrail tightly, insisting on standing at the front of the deck, enjoying the strange scenery of the beginning of the great waterway alongside Galen.
The scale of the Demonic Mountain is extremely large. The Dauntless Battleship War Knife took a lot of time to climb to the top of the Demonic Mountain under the action of the rising current.
After reaching the top of the mountain, the giant ship flew into the air like a roller coaster, and finally fell heavily towards the descent current leading to the great channel.
A huge wave was surging, and the Fearless Battleship War Knife sailed tremblingly in the descent channel.
The wood in the Pirate World is actually a black technology material, which is extremely tough and light, allowing Garen, a giant ship as big as a hill, to perform this special move safely.
If the expensive sailboats on the earth came to do this roller coaster, they would have been torn into fragmented sea garbage by the huge load.
As soon as he entered the descent channel, Garen and Nami's expressions became solemn at the same time:
“There is a boat ahead?”
Just in the waterway ahead of the Dauntless Battleship War Knife, a strange ship appeared.
This sea hull is slightly inferior to Garen's ship, but its wooden hull is covered with solid iron armor, which looks a bit unfavorable.
A black skeleton flag was hung high on the mast of the iron-clad sailboat, proving the identity of the personnel on the ship:
A strange pirate group that entered the great channel from other waters and happened to collide with Garen.
And the most bizarre thing about this pirate ship is:
Although the sea ship had sails, it also had two towering chimneys on the deck, which were still spitting out black smoke.
Strong steam technology wind.
Galen was stunned, but finally figured it out:
Judging from the extremely uneven development of the pirate world, it is not surprising that anything you encounter at sea.
The technological content of steam sailing is actually not very high.
Garen had not yet shown his usual attitude towards the pirates, but the pirates on the ironclad ship were the first to sing the flag.
After all, he will also be a person who will travel across the ocean in the future. Galen still spent some time learning the common flag language of this world.
Galen immediately understood what the pirates wanted to express:
“Surrender to them unconditionally.”
A pirate group makes others surrender, and it goes without saying what they want to do.
"What?!"
Galen was a little surprised:
"I actually want me to surrender unconditionally as soon as I meet?"
He turned around and looked at the golden sword flag hanging on his warship, and couldn't help but feel even more funny:
"Does these guys treat me as a harmless merchant ship?"
Debang's reputation is unknown outside the East China Sea, and the deterrence of the flag is almost gone.
So as soon as I saw such a towering giant ship that was neither a navy nor a pirate, the pirate group in front immediately felt that it had hit an unparalleled fat sheep.
"Speak the flag!"
Galen ordered the sailors who were accompanying the boat:
"Give them back intact!"
Two sea boats that were still undulating in the descent currents were just facing each other.
Garen's flag verb that went back worked very well, and the pirate ship in front responded immediately:
Words spoken with artillery.
As soon as he heard the cannon, the Debang sailors who were ready for battle also quickly fired their guns and fought back.
When Garen's side started to get the gun, he was soon at a disadvantage:
Although the Buckit high-explosive shells on our own are powerful, they cannot reach the other party's hull due to insufficient power;
But at such a long distance, the opponent's artillery could steadily land on the deck of the Dauntless Battleship War Knife.
The enemy this time can be described as "strong ships and sharp guns".
Garen's giant ship was soon bombarded by falling shells, and wood chips splashed everywhere, and sailors inevitably suffered casualties.
"Damn it!"
Garen cursed inwardly, and had to jump up from the deck and use his own swordsmanship to intercept the shells.
When the greatsword cut through those shells, Garen was once again shocked by the opponent's technological level:
No wonder the opponent's artillery has a longer range and a higher accuracy—
The opponent's shells are different from the most common round iron bombs on the sea, and the shape is very special:
Cylindrical bullet body, stern-shaped bullet tail, conical bullet head.
Others may not understand, but Galen from Earth is very clear:
This is a shell that will only be used for rear-loading rifled guns.
The artillery equipped on this ship, like most sea ships, still uses spherical solid bullets and old front-mounted smoothbore cannons of spherical bombs.
The performance difference between the two is very obvious:
In other words, Galen was still using red cannons made in the 16th century, and the other party was already equipped with Armstrong cannons from the British Empire.
What is the result of these two artillery duels? You can refer to the Second Opium War.
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten..."
Galen told this iron truth, and then helpedlessly ordered the sailors on the boat:
"Stop the shelling!"
"The other party has high technology, our shells don't work!"
Then...
Galen jumped out of the boat and ran on the water again:
"Damn it!"
Chapter completed!
