[Weinei: Or, to be on the safe side, why don’t we go out to sea? ]

She was a little worried about Ash. The 120,000 Holy Legion was almost all of Ash’s main force. If they were really defeated in the sea, there would be trouble next.

[Anonymous: Aren’t you the one who thinks the most about Ash? Why do you have no confidence in him? ]

[Vine: So I’m worried about the ship that Irelia built. It might sink when it goes out to sea.]

[Irelia: …]

That’s enough of you two Khorne cultists!

Will my ship sink?

Do you want to see how much manpower and resources I spent to build these ships?

Since August last year, the whole country has been working together to build ships. While Ash led the Holy Legion to attack in the front, she worked hard in the back and managed to build fifty ships. Because of this, her original plan to recruit soldiers was shelved.

Fifty ships must be large enough, stable enough, have high enough armor, and strong enough firepower.

Gold coins were dropped like dumplings, and the treasury was empty in the blink of an eye. The nobles of the kingdom wrote to the emperor to stop it, but they were all beaten back by her.

My great generals are still on the front lines expanding our territory. If I can’t even spend this little money, what kind of queen would I be?

Made!

Give me a hard build!

Here.

Ash stared at the attribute description of the warship interface and fell into deep thought.

“The space capacity is large enough, but the armor value is totally disproportionate. The speed is so slow? Is this a warship or a bamboo raft? What’s the point of just piling up firepower? If you can’t run, you can only get hit.”

He really wanted to ask Irelia, Queen, are you sure you want me to return in triumph instead of die?

Judging from the capacity of the fifty ships, it was enough to accommodate his 120,000 troops.

But Ash would only do this if he had a hole in his brain.

Not to mention the sturdiness of the ship, just in terms of draft, if it wants to accommodate 120,000 troops, each ship must have more than 2,000 people, which is almost full.

So the question is, can the draft of an infantryman be the same as that of a magic armored iron pagoda?

If 2,500 iron pagodas were installed, based on the current speed of the warships, they would become large turtles when they reach the sea and would just wait to be beaten by the sea creatures.

In fact, if he had planned to fight the sea tribe in advance, Ash would definitely have trained a naval corps first and built warships before taking action.

氿欺!5∑5/咝⒈⑺⑵Qqun:∥ After all, no matter how powerful the Iron Pagoda is, it is still a land combat force and is nothing but a landlubber when it comes to the sea.

Fortunately, the sea tribe occupies the South China Sea area. They have basically established a country on the sea and operate on the basis of islands, so land battles can still be fought.

The key lies in how to get there before landing on the island.

Judging from the ships built by Irelia, if these ships are to be used at sea, the number of crew members must not exceed three-quarters of the maximum draft.

Considering that it is a battle at sea, the role of the assault shooter is brought into play. Today’s assault shooters have evolved from simply firing bullets to being enchanted with various elemental damage, which has greatly improved their penetration, power, and range.

Assault shooters, plus the ship’s magical firepower, are the key to ensuring naval battles, and Iron Pagodas are essential for island landings, so they must be brought along.

But in fact, it does not take too many Iron Pagodas to charge head-on against the Shanghai people, unless you are facing the high-level sea people like the Dragon Scale People. You can see this from the fact that Amos led 3,000 Iron Pagodas to charge. The key lies in factors such as timing control, venue, and famous general buffs.

Islands are not like plains, so the effect of the Iron Pagoda will be greatly reduced if it cannot be charged, so it is necessary to have it but not all of it. At this time, light cavalry will have more advantages.

Because the soldiers riding on the crooked horses can charge on horseback and serve as assault shooters when they dismount, they have strong mobility and are truly cost-effective.

In the final analysis, the key lies in less charge, more long-range attack, defense and mobility.

“Only 20,000 assault shooters. Not enough. Too few.”

Ash pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of something.

“I’ve raised it for so long, it’s time for it to come into play.”

[Phyllis: I feel that the Holy Legion is more suitable for land warfare. Look at the clumsy appearance of the Iron Pagoda. Its advantages cannot be fully utilized at sea.]

[Weinei: I’ve also discovered that archers and magicians play a greater role at sea. I heard that there is a race of sea creatures called ‘Sirens’ that can launch attacks similar to mental magic, and mermaids can perform throwing attacks in the water.]

Sirens are also a high-level sea creature. Their numbers are small, but their mental attacks are hard to defend against.

It is said that sirens often appear in coastal areas, using mental attacks to control ordinary humans, luring them into the sea, and then eating them bite by bite.

“It’s really not enough.”

Irelia also discovered the situation of the Holy Legion.

The Holy Army roams across the southern continent, relying mainly on armored charges, strong attributes, and powerful skills to crush the enemy, leaving them helpless.

But if the advantage of the Iron Pagoda is lost, the offensive effectiveness of the Holy Legion will be greatly reduced.

“Unfortunately, the military development of the Purple Spirit Kingdom is mainly based on cavalry.”

Irelia shook her head secretly.

A message suddenly popped up on the interface.

[In February 1787, a large number of elves set out from Constantinople and headed for the South China Sea front.]

Irelia was stunned.

Elf?

Aren’t they all dead?

“Wait…why is it Elvian??”

Irelia discovered that the elf army coming from Constantinople had a total of 10,000 people, and the leader was actually Elvian?

The elf princess who was captured by Ash a long time ago?

[Wei Nei: Weird, how come she’s still alive? I thought she was dead a long time ago.]

[Felice: Ash won’t keep these elves forever, right? ]

[Anonymous: There is only one possibility, Ash uses the demise of the elves to threaten Elvian, and then turns around and makes the elves serve him.]

【Phyllis: Wow! He’s so evil! 】

【Anonymous: Why do you feel excited? 】

【Felice: Is there? Khorne. 】

Irelia didn’t expect that Ash was still raising elves. After all, she had never been to Constantinople. The problem was…wasn’t the elves destroyed by Ash? How could these elves not resist?

She didn’t know what Elvian was thinking, but if it were her, she would rather commit suicide than be a slave to Ash.

Of course, if it was Ash who enslaved the elves, then she naturally wouldn’t care.

You know, the most famous professions of the elves are archers and mages, which just fill the current shortcomings of the Holy Legion.

At this time, an army of ten thousand elves appeared under the attention of everyone.

Those countries that were still paying attention to Ash’s movements were all stunned.

Damn, you said you wanted to eliminate the aliens, but you ended up raising a group of aliens around you?

So if you use it, you are no longer an alien?

You are really flexible about your bottom line!

All the countries in the southern continent couldn’t help but complain, especially the members of the Ten-Nation Coalition who had invaded the elves’ territory. They wanted to run to the Holy See to report Ash, but the Holy See was busy dealing with the Cult of Khorne, so how could it have the time to care about them?

If they were asked to say it themselves, they would definitely not dare to do so.

Ash doesn’t care about what these countries think.

Elves are aliens? How come I didn’t know that?

Oh, those you are talking about are wild elves, mine are domesticated.

Ever heard of a beast tamer?

Ash had already found an excuse. Once someone jumped out to question him, he would immediately lead his army to attack them, beat them up first, then explain to them, convince them with reason, and finally make the other party pay hundreds of thousands of gold coins for mental damages.

If it is a hostile country, then destroy it directly.

Unfortunately, there was no objection until the elven army arrived at the South China Sea front.

“Tsk, it’s useless to give you the chance.”

Ash regretfully closed the strategic map and removed his finger from ‘All Army Attack’.

The elven army made up for his lack of long-range power to a great extent, but Ash was not in a hurry to select his troops and generals. Before setting out to sea, he still had one thing to do – to improve the resistance of these fifty warships.

Judging from the current situation, the ship’s armor is insufficient and it will sink if it goes into the sea.

But the matter is done and it is unlikely to change it, so there is only one way left – carving a magic circle.

Don’t forget, this is the magical world, anything is possible.

The advantage of a warship is its large size, and its lack of defense can be compensated by engraving a large magic array. However, the amount of materials consumed in engraving a magic array that covers the entire ship is not a small number.

Simply put, it costs money.

Yaxiu was on the South China Sea front, so naturally he couldn’t come up with so much at once.

But, it doesn’t matter.

He doesn’t have it, but others do.

If the neighbors have it, he has it.

[In February 1787, Ash formed the South Sea Front Alliance Army on the pretext of humanity’s joint resistance to alien invasions, announcing that the alliance members included the Purple Spirit Kingdom, Raymond Principality, Cassisit Principality, At Principality, and dozens of other countries on the South Sea border.]

[As soon as the news came out, the South China Sea border fell into silence. ]

[Phyllis: ??? No, is there a unilateral announcement of the formation of an alliance? ]

Alliance, was she seeing right? It was the Alliance Army.

Are you alone connecting with others?

[Weinei: What’s the big deal? We are all contributing to humanity. Fighting against the sea tribe is the responsibility of the entire South China Sea border. Why should only Ash be the one to do it? The border countries should help anyway. If they don’t agree, I will kill them.]

[Felice: It seems so… Wait, this way at least we can gather a bunch of cannon fodder to attract the firepower of the sea tribe, great! ]

[Anonymous: You two… please recognize yourselves clearly. You are princesses of the kingdom, not Khorne cultists.]

I have to say, Vernet and Phyllis have somewhat integrated into their roles.

But, it’s just talk, I’m bored and waiting for the game to reopen, so what’s wrong with saying a few words?

If you have the guts to stop me from speaking, then let’s start over!

Just see if you can snatch me away from Ash and it will be over!

When Felice thought about what Irelia said before the game started, saying “No one uses Ash”, he became furious.

What a female knight!

“That’s a good idea.”

Irelia didn’t know what Felice was thinking.

Seeing Phyllis’ words, she was somewhat helpless. Why didn’t she think of it? To attack the sea tribe, it was indeed a bit risky to rely on the people of the Holy Legion alone. She still remembered the experience of leading a thousand troops to fish out the relics in the sea. Even the most powerful cavalry was useless on the sea.

But if they go out to sea together, the sea creatures will be distracted when there are too many people, and they will have to divide their forces to attack, so the pressure on the Holy Legion will naturally be reduced.

Even if we can’t destroy many sea creatures, we can just treat them as cannon fodder to share the firepower.

Thinking of this, Irelia immediately took action.

[After the South Sea Front Alliance was established, Queen Irelia called on the border countries to put aside their conflicts and join together to fight against the alien race. ]

Fight against aliens.

The countries in the southern continent fell silent.

Why do these two words seem so eye-catching?

Queen, why don’t you ask your Prince Ash what those things he has transferred from the territory are?

#}九~=七◆∥5×~舞4一七,er资源∑源1群: However, the landlocked countries will definitely not stand up and speak. At this time, they only feel lucky that they are not coastal border countries, otherwise they will most likely be targeted by the great devil Ash.

Irelia’s speech did not achieve any useful effect.

Ash was not surprised to see this, and immediately sent a detachment of the Holy Army to discuss the alliance.
