Even though I couldn't resist the temptation of a powerful warship in the end and agreed to this perverted condition, I still drew a clear line between him and me.
"After I'm done with this fellow, I'll tie him to a thousand-kilogram boulder and throw him into the river. No, I'll feed him to Beifeng. No, if Beifeng were to be influenced by him and gain new attributes, that would be too scary. Let's call it sinking into the river. Those Gentlemen are already troublesome enough to deal with, I definitely can't allow them to mix together! "
I was disgusted. After all, I was still a normal person. Un, definitely a normal person. I wasn't some King of Gentlemen.
"Darned Ottoman Empire, they might as well change their name to Ottoman Empire. Hmph, a man who likes women and a man who thinks that he should be a woman. I think you two uncle and nephew make a perfect pair!"
However, with Kaloshín's full cooperation, the goal of taking over the base was indeed much faster. When I saw the super warship in the dock of the Mage Tower, even I pinched the darned cat's tail. From her screams and sharp claws, I could confirm that I wasn't dreaming.
Prince Kaloshín, formerly known as Ottoman Warrior, is the prototype of the super warship, Cassomes, but in reality, its performance far surpasses that of its sibling warship. Everyone knows that, just like the Roland II, whose performance far surpasses that of its peers, the prototype warship is built with money to prove the validity of the theory. It is understandable that Prince Kaloshín's performance is above that of Cassomes.
Prince Kaloshín, a super-heavy warship, 243 meters in length and 40 meters in width. It has 9 heavy cannons charged with magic crystals, 7 medium Mage Towers, 1 super Mage Tower, 32 medium to small cannons, and the main cannon at the head of the warship has a maximum range of 30 kilometers. It has a built-in hangar that can store 3 Vulture Assault Ships.
This warship can be used both in the water and in the air. It has a standard displacement of 65,000 tons after entering the water. It takes close to 10 minutes to float and its maximum speed in the air is 120 kilometers per hour. As a flying unit, it isn't too fast. However, considering the massive size of the warship, I feel that the speed of this thing is already ridiculous.
As the number one warship of the Ottoman Air Fleet, due to the disregard of cost, this super warship far surpasses Cassomes in terms of specifications, speed, and firepower. In the official records of the Ottoman Empire, due to a sudden explosion in the rear cabin during an experiment, it had "sunk" into the deep sea.
Although the sinking and explosion were real, the crew members didn't die. Their families were well taken care of by Kaloshín. After a year and a half, the reactivated Prince Kaloshín entered the underwater base that was under the complete control of Kaloshín. It became his trump card in the fight for the throne. This original flagship was also quietly waiting for the day when it was renamed to Emperor Kaloshín.
Furthermore, in order to better launch a surprise attack on the capital, when the 8 Mage Towers on the ship are activated, not only will they be able to provide an outstanding Magic Shield, the King Carlohin will also be able to enter a state of stealth.
The entire warship is the culmination of the accumulation of the Ottoman Empire for hundreds of years. However, under the selfish desires of a certain person, it became a tool to fight for the throne.
When Kaloshín realized that the underwater base was isolated from the outside world, he acutely guessed that the day the door opens would be the day he breaks off with his nephew. In order to prepare for that day, after completing the test of the floating engine on the Vulture, he invested more than 90% of the resources and manpower into this huge warship.
With the laborers, construction workers, and engineers who worked tirelessly, the completion rate of Prince Kaloshín has already exceeded 95%. As for the ship that was originally given the highest priority, Cassomes, its completion rate is only slightly more than half.
In history, when the Dimensional Door was opened more than ten years later, Darsos was faced with a complete fleet … If it wasn't for the fact that his country was on the brink of destruction, and that the uncle and nephew were forced to reach a temporary truce, and that his reputation as the King of Winter Wolves was already known throughout the entire continent, Darsos would have been kicked off his throne.
But now, this super warship that wasn't recorded in the official records has undoubtedly become a bargain for me.
Walking from the Mage Tower to the basement, with Kaloshín's help, the traps didn't obstruct us at all. Beside this super warship, there are many hardworking Undead laborers and ace engineers.
The weaker one is, the lower the chances of them retaining their intelligence after turning into an Undead. In order to maintain their knowledge and intelligence, these ace engineers, who were known as the national treasures of the Ottoman Empire, as well as the experts and scholars of various fields, are still alive.
Even though the remaining rations have been provided to them, this place isn't just isolated from the outside world for a day or two. They aren't even given a piece of biscuit every day and they have to work hard. The result is that their emaciated appearance makes one think that they are skeleton soldiers.
From a certain perspective, our ambush has saved them from the brink of death. First, they were forcefully moved here, and their loved ones were turned into Undead Engineers right in front of them. Their hatred towards the Ottoman Empire, Dasos, and Kaloshín was unbelievably smooth just by saying that I am a citizen of the Donglan Principality.
Of course, those who have survived until now are all intelligent people. They know how to make the right choice in order to continue living.
"It'll be completed by next month, and it'll barely be ready to set sail in two weeks?"
Looking at the ace engineer and grand scholar who were overjoyed to receive the jerky I handed over, I broke out in a cold sweat when I heard this news. If we had arrived a month later, we probably wouldn't have had any chance of victory at all.
"Prioritize the construction of the Mage Tower. If necessary, we can directly dismantle the Mage Tower's components. What we need the most right now is its stealth and ambushing abilities."
I was filled with joy as I gave the new construction order. Obtaining this Mage Tower doubtlessly gave me much more hope and confidence in my future plans.
Prince Kaloshín … When I thought about how this was the name of a certain gay man, and how I might end up living in this ship named after a gay man, I unhesitatingly made changing the name of the ship the most important matter before considering anything else.
I have always been a troublemaker when it comes to naming things. Just as I hesitantly called out the name Roland, the silly cat's faint voice said, "Have you forgotten about the Roland Titan? Do you intend to have a transformation or a full series of Roland? " This immediately made me give up on this idea.
Then, I recalled the name of Law and Justice, so I suggested naming this ship "Absolute Justice." However, the silly cat's "Is it the Incurable Disease?" defeated me yet again.
"Love and Courage?"
"Little friend, how old are you today? Do you intend to make everyone laugh their heads off? "
"The Angry Birds?"
"I feel like I'll crash into a house if I don't crash into a pig's head. Think of something else."
"The Grapes of Wrath?"
"I feel like I'll be unlucky all the way. I'll meet with an economic crisis and then go bankrupt!"
"The Angry Banana?"
"I'm not an angry squirrel. Think about it seriously. Don't think about small animals or fruits. Do you dare to think of a mighty and domineering name?"
"The Archangel!"
"Although the Archangel is indeed powerful, I always feel like it's an inauspicious name. Not only that, it's also super good at making its teammates suffer."
"The Snow Wind!"
"Don't say anymore. It's even more inauspicious. I can feel chills running down my spine."
"The Danyang!"
"Is there a difference from the one above? Can you not use such an inauspicious name? "
"The Titanic."
"Are you unhappy if the ship doesn't sink? Do you have such a deep hatred for this ship? Can't you come up with a celebratory name? "
"Assemble, Gentlemen."
"Sure, I have no objections. But do your parents know that you're courting death? Do you think that you don't have enough Gentlemen under you? "
"The Wyvern."
"I know of more than 20 ships with this name. Are you sure you want to add a 3-digit identification code at the end?"
"The Eliza (White) Queen!" Alright, a certain Demon Marquise crossed dimensions to angrily declare her existence.
"Rejected. You might as well call it the Primal Banshee Emperor." Alright, silly cat, your ultimate motive has been revealed. It feels like using a name that is filled with the ultimate evil boss will only result in self-destruction!
… It was an endless series of suggestions and rejections. It was a heartbreaking self-test.
Once again, I confirmed that naming is indeed a troublesome matter. I thought of more than 20 names in a row, but all of them were rejected. (Mysterious voice: Are you sure you're not asking for it?)
"The Borealis."
"Although it feels like it's reflecting something, since it hasn't sunk yet, I'll just make do with it."
The Borealis is a natural phenomenon unique to the Northern Lands. From a certain perspective, this name represents the desire for the Mist Country to break the ice and rise again.
"Two more weeks? Can't it be faster? "
The conclusion I got was depressing. Two weeks later, it would barely be able to start up, but it would only be able to fly. Most of the cannons on the ship would be unusable. These two weeks were the best case scenario. Looking at the current situation, there was an eighty percent chance that it would be delayed.
Due to the damage caused to the energy pool by the previous attack and my intention to let the survivors who had managed to survive with great difficulty take a break and eat some good food to recover, the possibility of the delay was even higher.
However, as long as it could be driven out, it would be able to fly while completing the remaining work. This was a piece of good news.
Without a doubt, in the current situation where the Seafolk and the Ottoman Empire were at a stalemate, and an all-out war could break out at any moment, this underwater base was the safest. Very quickly, I made a decision.
"Since the Ottoman Emperor has approved of our request to leave in the contract, it is about time for the envoy group from the Donglan Principality to return to the Northern Lands."
After I returned to the surface, I would arrange for the convoy to return to the Northern Lands. At the very least, on the surface, I couldn't allow the envoy group to remain in this dangerous city.
"Renée, follow this name list and look for the people in the city. Those whose names are underlined in red must be invited, even if you have to resort to violence or kidnapping. Those whose names are in blue must be invited, but if you can't, don't force yourself. Those whose names are in purple must not resort to violence, otherwise, you will become a troublesome target. "
Since we were fated to offend the Ottoman Empire, it didn't matter if we offended them a little more. Since we had already started to poach them, we might as well poach more of them. With these "historical figures" in our hands, regardless of whether it was us, the Donglan Principality, or the Ottoman Empire, the future would be different.
"After we find them, get them to bring their families here. Remember, tell them that this city is in danger and that we are saving them. This is the truth, so just go ahead and do it. "
With the underwater base and the Borealis in our hands, it was doubtlessly the first ray of hope in this chaotic situation. With this base that we could attack and defend at will, our safety was truly guaranteed.
However, my good mood only lasted until we returned to the Church of Law.
"Inviting me to participate in the ascension ceremony that will be held in advance? Am I crazy, or is Dasos crazy? "
…
As the Seafolk's invasion progressed, and as the three main fleets were destroyed one by one, the Ottoman Empire gradually lost control of the rivers and the coastline.
All the cities along the coast were being attacked by the Seafolk. The Empire's defense forces were all mobilized, and the number of cities that had been massacred by the Piranha Tribe had already exceeded two digits. While the capital was still maintaining a strange balance, the battles below were already a complete mess.
Faced with the seemingly endless number of Seafolk, the Ottoman Empire's not-so-powerful forces on the water began to cower. On the river that led to Kagesi City, the defending fleets of the humans were either completely annihilated or returned to the port of the city to seek help from the local defenders.
Over a hundred tribes were gathering and trekking. Under the guidance of the Storm Priests who wore the Storm Sacred Emblem, they had already completed the transition from mercenaries to regular soldiers.
Among them, there were ugly and short Fishmen, beautiful and pure Mermaids, tall and sturdy Sea Giants, but most of them were the half-human, half-fish Naga Seafolk and various Water Elementals.
The simple training and grouping had already ended, and the Seafolk were ready for battle. With the Storm Priests as the core, under the guidance of the true God Lady Storm, after a long trek, they saw their destination.
"The capital, the new capital, the new capital that belongs to us."
That was what they said.
