"Go, go, don't cause trouble!"
Elvin waved his hand and shooed away the group of self-righteous people who were in his way.
How ignorant. Even if the electromagnetic cannon could hit a target 40 kilometers away, would they be able to aim accurately?
Even with the help of the "Mental Network" and "Data Vision", shooting from such a long distance was very difficult for Elvin himself, let alone them.
Even if the cannon's initial deviation was only 0.1 degrees, who knew where it would land after 40 kilometers. In fact, the landing point of the first cannon was slightly off. Fortunately, it did not miss the target and saved his glorious image.
Guns were a man's romance, but the group of officers, including Milan, could only look on enviously. It was the same scene when a rich man bought a PS5 and a group of friends watched from the side.
To be honest, this kind of over-the-horizon attack where one could only hit others and others could not hit them was not much different from a game.
Elvin rubbed his hands and prepared to send all the battleships to the sky. Using a fleet as a sacrifice in the first battle, this electromagnetic cannon was even more impressive than the quasi-legendary battleship "Storm Horn".
However, Olivia behind him reached out and poked his waist.
"Ahem …"
Elvin's hand that was reaching for the electromagnetic cannon paused for a moment. Only then did he remember the agreement between the two of them after the electromagnetic cannon was built. The cannon body belonged to him, but the energy supply device that he did not pay for still belonged to Olivia.
He used 0.01 seconds to seriously consider the question of whether the "PS5" or the woman was more important. Then, he decisively chose … to follow his heart.
Seeing the scene of the two of them swapping places, all the officers who also wanted to have the gun cursed in their hearts.
"What a pity, Captain, we were the ones who came first!"
However.
For the sake of his reputation as the captain, after leaving the electromagnetic cannon, Elvin explained to the officers, "Well, Captain Rody has the same talent as me as a sniper. It's a good opportunity for him to train."
The officers' faces changed from sour to enlightened. Then, they all became excited. They were all on the same ship, so of course, the stronger the better.
Only Milan, who had already seen through everything, did not believe a single word Elvin said. She pushed up the nonexistent glasses on the bridge of her nose and asserted,
"There's only one truth. There's something wrong with you!"
He didn't care about what others thought.
Bang!
Olivia did not hold back at all. She maintained her testing speed of one shot every 20 seconds and fired ten consecutive shots. In the meantime, they had also tested the explosive power of Aluminum Bomb No. 2. Two shots were enough to destroy the entire force of a fifth-grade warship.
In this kind of super long-range shooting, "metaphysics" was obviously more useful than skills. None of the ten consecutive shots missed the target.
However, the final test of the tungsten steel warhead failed, and the range was reduced to less than 40 kilometers.
Five minutes later.
The four Shilius warships had all been scrapped, and they were only barely able to stay afloat on the surface of the sea thanks to their wooden construction.
Even in accordance with the standard warship configuration, the fleet had at least six official Knight and a High Priest, but they still had no resistance to this attack.
With the technological level of this era, a Quasi Legend's opponent was only a Quasi Legend!
And because a Quasi Legend only had some outstanding abilities, it was not as all-rounded as a Legendary warship. It had to be an existence that happened to have a specific ability.
For example, a "shield" that was on par with a Quasi Legend, or a "spear" that was even more powerful.
However.
During the test firing process, they also discovered many flaws and shortcomings of the [Electromagnetic Cannon 1.0].
First, it was fine to use a lightweight aluminum warhead. If they used a tungsten steel warhead with a larger mass and stronger impact, the initial speed and range would plummet. In other words, there was not much room for improvement in the electromagnetic cannon's power in a short period of time.
Second, in the case of a fixed energy upper limit, the coil cannon did indeed have a greater advantage than the railgun, but the requirements for precision were also much higher.
The core of the multi-stage drive coils relied purely on Krypton and witchcraft. When accelerated to super-high speed, the current of the drive coils would be too high, causing a huge pressure on the engraved runes. No matter how good the conductivity of silver was, it was still not a true superconductor.
Even if it was enchanted, the tiny runes engraved on the railgun were already slightly deformed after a dozen shots. After ten minutes of continuous firing, it would need a thorough maintenance.
Otherwise, the reliability, safety, and accuracy of the electromagnetic cannon would be greatly reduced.
Even when Olivia was firing normally, Elvin, a Grade 3 transcendent, had to be by her side to prepare for any accidents that might occur.
Third, these were not the most important. As an original model of version 1.0, the biggest problem with the electromagnetic cannon was its energy source.
The hexagonal "Sea Sapphire" that could power electromagnetic cannons was not something that could be found anywhere. Olivia only had one stone that was large enough and pure enough to power the electromagnetic cannons.
Just like Olivia's other 'gemstone witchcraft', the gemstone was a product of witchcraft, not technology. Every charge and discharge was equivalent to casting a spell. It was inevitable that the gemstone's spirituality would be depleted.
Every shot not only cost the enchanted aluminum bullets, but also the witchcraft gem that was worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
It was a huge loss to use it against battleships below Grade 3. For the time being, it could not be used as a conventional weapon. Otherwise, no matter how much money he earned from penicillin, it would not be enough.
There was still a long way to go before it could become a mature transcendent weapon like "alchemy guns" and "alchemy cannons".
However, Elvin did not plan to become rich in one go. After all, experimental weapons were created for the purpose of finding problems and improving them. The necessary research investment was unavoidable.
He glanced at Olivia who was beside him.
"Maybe I can put the" Organic Gem Cultivation Method "that I got with Hersey in the Spirit Realm on the research agenda."
An hour later.
Storm Horn, which had activated [White Shark Cruise], had reached the edge of the "slaughterhouse".
Elvin waved at the soldiers who had lined up on the deck.
"Leave no one alive!"
"Yes, Sir! We're invincible!"
Splash! Splash! …
Under the lead of Gary who had transformed into a rhinoceros shark, the human-shaped sharks that had put on "activated skin" jumped into the water like dumplings.
"Ah —"
"Monsters!"
In the blink of an eye, blood dyed the sea red. Under the effect of [White Shark Aura], the fish soldiers that were at least at the peak of the Apprentice level were killed.
Whether it was the Shilius soldiers in the lifeboats or floating with broken wooden boards, none of them were spared.
Even though [Electromagnetic Cannon 1.0] was far from mature, the secret of this new weapon could not be exposed to the Shilius people.
Otherwise, Griffith and his' Red Maple 'would hunt him down without doing anything!
.....
Bang!
"Intelligence Department, can you explain to me what's going on?"
The fury of the peak grand Knight made the headquarters of the navy in Luanda feel as if it had experienced an earthquake.
Because the deputy commander of the expeditionary force, Major General Kun Gang Taita, the Knight of Steel, had … disappeared!
After the attack at the beginning of the war, the higher-ups had conducted a large-scale cleanup of the possible scouts in Treasure-Tree Bay.
There was no civilian residential area here, and the composition of the personnel was very simple. Plus, there was a group of wizards.
They could not say that they had cleaned up all the scouts. Even if there were some who had escaped, they would not be able to deliver the information in a short time. Even so, the garrison stationed in Shilius had obviously realized that something was wrong.
Although the Knight of Steel shouldered the mission given to him by Philip II to carry out a secret mission, many people from both factions had noticed the preparations he had made before he left.
However.
He had left Luanda for more than twenty days, and it was too long to make people suspicious. After all, in addition to the secret mission, he was also the deputy commander of the expeditionary fleet and had to abide by the rules of war.
No matter which faction it was, they would not be able to handle such a huge matter, so they chose to report it to the fleet's commander-in-chief, Griffith.
However, although he was furious on the surface, Griffith had his own plans when he received the news.
Regardless of whether Kun Gang had really met with an accident or was carrying out a mission from the Royal Faction, this was an opportunity for him to set aside his constraints and gather all his forces to win this war according to his own ideas.
And the key step was to completely destroy the Tulip Alliance fleet that was currently at an absolute disadvantage!
Even the main battle line was mainly composed of fourth-grade warships, which was a compromise product. In a direct battle, they were definitely not a match for Shilius. Now they could only use the flexibility of the warships and the relatively more sophisticated ship-borne cannons to constantly harass and delay time.
As long as they could capture the main force of the alliance fleet, this war could almost be put to an end.
So.
After the superficial work was done, the pinnacle Knight was not in a hurry to find the powerful helper of the Great Knight. Instead, he issued a series of orders as the fleet's commander.
All patrol ships were to launch high-intensity harassment to force them to confront head-on.
All battleships, including those belonging to the Royal Faction, were ordered to go out to sea and join the fleet to find an opportunity to fight the Tulip Alliance fleet in a decisive battle!
Even the colonial garrison was forced to cooperate.
"Yes, Sir Commander!"
This was absolutely unimaginable when the deputy commander, the Steel Knight, was still there. It was to weaken the Church, and the Royal Faction would not be willing to listen to his command.
Even if they joined the fleet, they would only be under the command of the Steel Knight.
However.
Thinking of the small Cape Verde fleet that disappeared inexplicably like the Steel Knight, a haze flashed across Griffith's face. Unlike the Steel Knight, that fleet belonged to his direct forces.
Moreover, without the power of a quasi-legend coupled with the power of a grade 3 extraordinary, it was absolutely impossible to do this.
Obviously, there was some power that was beyond his control on the battlefield.
"We can't wait any longer, we must speed up the progress of the war!"
.....
Private port number one of the Dragon Cavalry Pirate Crew.
Three patrol ships with the flag of a flaming longsword, as well as a number of pirate ships with the black flag of a "crowned skull dripping blood scimitar" surrounded the place.
But when they aggressively rushed onto the island, they angrily found that the place was already empty.
Only a dead egret was hanging upside down on the pillar of the dock, fluttering in the wind. It was the national bird of the Kingdom of Shilius.
The provocation was not concealed.
Boom!
Among the few people in the lead, a young wizard in a black robe waved his hand and shot out a pale green light, turning the egret into ashes.
In the silence of the group of soldiers and pirates, the young wizard was expressionless.
"Dragon Cavalry, you are very good, but this is just the beginning!"
At the same time.
In the command room of the same private port, in the opposite direction of Port Hatrapha.
Besmir stood in its exclusive position and slowly opened its eyes, stretching out its claws to scratch its feathers.
"Coo coo coo … Recently, the frequency of the Shilius spying on the privateer fleet has increased, and the intensity is getting stronger.
This time, it was purely due to good luck that we discovered a large fleet gathering in advance, but there will be problems if we continue to hide like this. If the next time we are discovered in Port Hatrapha, we can't just leave like this, right?
Now, because of the cautious nature of the operation, it has affected the pirate business. Should we just let them suspend their operations?
When will the commander return?
I'm only a five-year-old owl, the fate of the privateer fleet is not a heavy responsibility that I should bear at this age! "
