Among the six regular races in Hero Genesis, the popularity of the Dwarves was second only to the Hells. Compared to races like the Humans, Elves, and the Undead, which were full of beautiful women (note: female Vampires were extremely beautiful), the bodies of the Dwarves were indeed not pleasing to the eye. Female Dwarven players were even more intolerable. Even the feminine beauty that burst out from the masculinity of the Orc women could mesmerize a large number of players, and they could leave the Dwarves in the dust by a dozen streets. One could see how important one's image was.
Another main reason was that the birthplace of the Dwarves was not pleasing to the eye. Outside the door were steep snow-capped mountains, and inside the door was a dark underground city.
Of course, the advantages of the Dwarves were obvious to all. They had high attack, high HP, high physical strength, and high magic resistance! The discipline of the Dwarven army was as indestructible as steel, so the Leadership skill of the Dwarven Hero had a sub-skill specifically for the Dwarven army: Iron Legion!
— — Iron Legion: When the Dwarven army forms an army formation, the whole army's physical and magic defense is increased by 20%.
Forming an army formation meant giving up the speed of the army's charge. Of course, for the Dwarves, who were naturally slow and short, there was no need to charge. But this did not mean that the Dwarven army would be deceived by the opponent's long-range soldiers. The Dwarves' Level 2 long-range soldiers, Spear Throwers, and Level 4 Rune Mages, were not inferior to the long-range soldiers of any other race. Not to mention, the Dwarves also had a powerful and almost perfect Level 5 charging unit, the Bear Cavalry!
The Bear Cavalry was known as the nemesis of cavalry. The howl of the bear would often confuse the warhorses of human Level 6 Knights. As for the Orcs' Level 3 Wolf Riders, they were even worse. They were not on the same level at all, and could be easily defeated with a single bear paw. Moreover, the Bear Cavalry also had the special skill of Repel and Crush.
If the Bear Cavalry was so strong, why was it a Level 5 unit? Because the Dwarves' Level 6 unit was even more abnormal. The Flame Lord! Magic soldiers, nicknamed Mini Titans, were Level 6 soldiers close to the strength of Level 7 soldiers. Of course, they were also the least produced Level 6 soldiers of all races.
As for the Dwarf's Level Seven Soldier, it could only be described as abnormal. That was the Magma Dragon, a kind of monster that looked like the monsters in Ultraman. It was a red and black stone walking dragon with magma all over its body. As long as it was hit, it would splash magma and burn people.
In short, like the Elves, except for Level 7 soldiers, the overall quality of the Dwarven army was a level higher than the Human and Undead Hell. This could also be considered a compensation mechanism for races that did not produce many soldiers. This kind of compensation system would ensure that the elves and dwarves would be the strong ones in the league tournament and the weak ones in the war.
Currently, only the Russian region was fully focused on developing the dwarves, although the Russian region had a world-famous human hero, "Siege Technician."
The Dwarf's brief introduction ended here.
Under the alarm that resounded through the entire town, the patrolling oar boats also docked at the port one after another. At the same time, nearly a thousand Dwarven Warriors in the town gathered at the dock and lined up to board the ship. Although nearly a thousand soldiers was nothing in a land battle, it was different in a sea battle. A sea battle was not a battle of numbers.
But looking at the stance of the dwarves, it was obvious that they had more soldiers.
Indeed, the dwarves loved to take risks, but their sailing skills were mediocre. They really couldn't handle high-technology boats like sailboats. In naval battles, dwarves and pirates fought in a similar way, which was to row the oar ship and collide, then board the ship and engage in hand-to-hand combat. However, when he saw that the bottom of their rowing boats were equipped with thick armor and the bow was equipped with an ice-breaking ram, Dafei was full of confidence in this battle. At the very least, if they collided, the Viking Undead's boat would definitely not win.
At this moment, a deep horn sounded, and a giant sailboat appeared in the bay of the port. For a moment, all the dwarves in the port burst into enthusiastic cheers!
Looking at this giant on the sea, Dafei's eyelids twitched wildly! Giant ship! Damn, I'm actually seeing a giant ship!
Ships in the game were divided into four categories according to their size: small, medium, large, and giant. Dafei's Soar and Radiant Wings were both large ships. Large ships had at most four masts and three decks, which meant that there were three levels of cabins under the ship.
If the purpose was to explore the sea, large ships were already the limit. Large ships could guarantee speed, endurance, and not be sunk by storms and sea monsters. Larger ships wouldn't work. The ship's materials couldn't support a larger structure, and it would fall apart when the wind blew and the waves shook. For example, a building could only be built with more than 100 floors. No matter how high it was, the foundation and building materials wouldn't be able to support it.
But giant ships were different. Giant ships could only be warships, and their wood was custom-made copper or iron clad wood. In other words, the ship's materials were wrapped with a thick layer of copper or iron. This way, the structure of the ship was more stable and could support the structure of the giant ship. At the same time, it was extremely resistant to attacks in naval battles. However, the disadvantages were also obvious. The ship was too heavy, and its speed was greatly reduced. Moreover, if the water was too deep, it would be easy to run aground. Ordinary small ports couldn't accommodate such a big guy.
The design concept of a giant warship was never to pursue, but to fight. Using a battleship as an example, 100 gun ports were considered small. Of course, the cost of a giant ship was absolutely astronomical. In an era where players couldn't even reach large ships, a giant ship was even more out of the question. Not to mention the daily maintenance costs to prevent the iron clad wood from rusting.
And the giant ship in front of Dafei was a completely different type of warship from a battleship. It was a giant rowing ship with four masts, and the bow of the ship was still a shocking giant steel ram.
The ship's railing wasn't high, and it only had two levels of cabins. The bottom was the rowing room, and hundreds of giant oars extended out, making the giant ship look like a giant centipede from afar. The upper level of the rowing room was the cannon room, and there were roughly 20 gun ports on each side.
The giant ship only had one upper level, so this giant centipede's upper level wasn't even as high as Fly's railing. This was a necessity. Rowing ships couldn't be very tall for the convenience of rowing.
This type of giant ship was an all-rounded warship that combined artillery, hand-to-hand combat, and ramming into each other. Its prototype was obviously the Ottoman warship of the Great Voyage Era. However, Turkey couldn't build such a giant warship, so France, which was lagging behind the other great powers in the field of navigation, greatly improved it. This was the legendary 'French Royal Warship', and people called it the 'Pharaoh'! In the Mediterranean Sea and the North Sea, where the wind and waves were calm and large sailing ships couldn't display their advantages, the Pharaoh lived up to his name and ran amok. Of course, a sailboat was still a sailboat, and the bottom of the oars was too low for water to enter. Once it entered the stormy Atlantic Ocean, it would be stupid. And on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean was the stage for the great powers, the New World. France's path to colonization in the age of navigation wasn't very smooth.
In short, in the game, such a giant ship was undoubtedly the most suitable for the crude dwarves with ordinary navigation skills. However, this place was frozen for ten months a year, so this giant ship couldn't even be called a bathtub fleet, right? Holy shit, this desolate island not only had Gryphon Knights, but it also had such a huge ship! What was so mysterious about this place? Could it be an important military town? If it was an important town, why hadn't anyone shipped goods over for three years?
At this moment, the dwarf major was very satisfied with Dafei's dumbfounded expression. He coughed and cleared his throat. "Let me introduce myself. I am Bartho, and this is my warship, the Flame Lord! You seem to be good at sailing? I temporarily appoint you as the chief officer of the Flame Lord. Lead the way. "
Damn! I can't believe I can enjoy a giant ship! It's a must!
Dafei nodded happily. "Major, uh, the general is mighty! With such a giant ship as our escort, we won't be afraid of those undead fleets. "
Bartho said in a deep voice, "Looks like I've finally figured out the reason why there hasn't been any supply ships for three years. However, I don't care about those undead fleets. I only care about the goods you mentioned."
Dafei hurriedly said, "They definitely won't disappoint you, general."
Finally confirmed? Could it be that those undead have nothing to do with my S-rank cargo mission? Does that mean there's a big mission on Fire Dragon Island? Forget it, I don't have the time and energy to waste. I'll just finish this deal.
At this moment, a small boat docked. Bartho waved his hand. "Board!"
。。。。。
Under the accompaniment of the five medium-sized oar ships and the roars of the oarsmen that resounded throughout the ship, the Flame Lord that was fully loaded with dwarven warriors rowed its giant oars and left the harbor.
At this moment, Dafei, who had been appointed as the temporary chief officer, could finally feel the elegance of this giant centipede. It's said that giant ships are slow. How is it slow! Not only is it not slow, it seems to be faster than the normal speed of my Octopus! No matter how slow the oar ships are, they can't be that slow. Not to mention, I'm a master navigator and a senior navigator first officer leading the team!
Come, I'm here for revenge! Wahahaha! A so-called expert should be like me, able to mobilize the power of NPCs for things that I can't do myself!
Dwarves are usually taciturn, and Dafei didn't want to talk to him too much to avoid triggering a troublesome mission. Thus, a day passed without any words.
Now, they arrived at the sea area where the accident happened yesterday. Dafei said in a deep voice, "I was ambushed here. A large number of undead fleets suddenly appeared in the fog. They were dressed like the ancient Vikings." Although he didn't want to talk too much to him, Dafei couldn't help but speak after holding back for a day. It couldn't be helped. It was a professional habit of being an expert.
Barto said in a deep voice, "Lieutenant, you're very amazing. You've discovered the truth of the incident. All along, our priests could only make speculations, but we didn't expect things to be this serious."
Dafei still couldn't help but ask, "Is it serious?"
Barto nodded and said solemnly, "The god of the underworld controls death, and the god of the sea controls the sea. However, when sailors die at sea, their ownership after death causes a dispute between the two gods. Sailors are the bravest and wisest group of people in the world. They are talents that both gods desire very much. In short, we may be involved in the struggle between the gods. "
Dafei's jaw dropped to the ground! So that's it! No wonder my Sea Soul Weapon is so similar to the Necromancer's skills! There's actually such a connotation!
Now, Dafei firmly shut his mouth and didn't say a word!
Dafei was sure that if he had asked, "What should I do?", he would have been furious. A pain in the ass epic mission would definitely pop out! Although I'm awesome, I'm not at the level where I can take on three epic missions at sea at the same time!
And since Dafei didn't ask, the dwarf also didn't say anything. With the dwarf's pride, he definitely wouldn't take the initiative to ask for help. That's good.
Now, under Barto's orders, the entire fleet was ready for battle. But the expected fog did not appear.
Hey, hey, hey! Are you kidding me? If the fog doesn't appear, wouldn't it seem like I'm lying? I want to take revenge!
In the end, an entire day passed, and the fog still didn't appear!
Dafei let out a long sigh, "General, although I don't know the reason, they must have been scared off by General's military might."
Barto said proudly, "Of course, no one here dares to challenge my Flame Lord!"
At this moment, an eagle's cry sounded in the sky. Dafei's eyebrows twitched. Eagle?
Barto's spirit rose, "Found the target!"
Dafei was startled. Found what?
As expected, a soldier immediately entered the cabin to report, "General, found two large Alliance ships wandering around!"
What the heck! My godly detection skill, even I didn't find them, but you found them first! Dafei hurriedly said, "That's right, it's them!"
Barto laughed loudly, "There really is something! It's worth mobilizing so many troops to provide support — fleet change direction! "
When two green dots finally appeared on Dafei's radar, the sound of a cheerful piano drifted in the wind! For a moment, the entire fleet erupted in cheers of victory.
At this moment, Dafei was extremely shocked. Did he think that his godly detection skill was at its limit? He was really too naive! Could it be that this Old Eagle was a professional that surpassed the Divine Level of Scouting?
Dafei hurriedly asked, "General, can I train this Eagle?"
Barto patted Dafei on the shoulder, "Lieutenant, these are all military secrets, I'm very sorry."
Dafei was stunned again. Damn! Was military and civilian use not the same concept?
。。。。。
Now, the fleet was assembled again. The dwarven warships firmly guarded the Radiant Wings and the Whaler in the middle of the formation and began to return.
