364: Super Battleship! Head of the Hai Family!

A large wooden ship takes at least three or four years from raw materials to completion.

However, Sauron's three warships have only been built for less than a year at best. The raw materials needed for these warships are all purchased by Sauron from other shipyards regardless of the cost.

There are even two of the ships, which have already been half built, and then transformed into two-story warships.

"How long will it take for these three ships to launch?" Sauron asked.

"Seven days!" said the leader of the shipyard's defenders, who was also one of Suo's confidant warriors.

The three ships cost Sauron nearly 100,000 gold coins without counting the artillery. Adding the artillery and the cost of training the artillery, it is completely impossible to calculate.

Of course, there is also the construction of this secret shipyard, plus the salaries of thousands of workers, etc., which are completely astronomical.

It has been almost two years since Sauron's rock salt field started production, and it has only been less than a year since the more lucrative magic mirror was put on the market.

In the past two years, the gold coins earned by Sauron are completely astronomical, almost exceeding the annual tax of the Kingdom of Furious Waves.

But now he still doesn't have many gold coins on hand, almost spending as much as he has.

Now that the maritime trade is blocked, half of his money has been cut off, and life is hard.

...

It was the first time for Yan Chuoer to see this huge artillery warship, and she was completely shocked!

Two of them have two gun decks, and the flagship in the middle has three gun decks.

Standing at the bottom and looking up, the warship is like a high mountain.

"The two smaller ones are Tianshui-class warships, with a displacement of 2,000 tons, 55 cannons, and a crew of 700." Sauron pointed to the three warships and introduced: "The big one in the middle is the Southeast battleship. 3,000 tons, with 75 guns, requires a crew of 950."

Sauron did not have much research on the sailing, artillery, and warships on Earth in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Therefore, these warships are completely based on the impressions and concepts in his mind, and more rely on the shipbuilding technology of this world.

Fortunately, the level of shipbuilding in this world is not weak.

Not to mention two thousand ton warships, even large ships of three to four thousand tons have been built.

However, compared with the shipbuilding techniques of Spain or Britain in the eighteenth century on Earth, it must be much worse.

With the same displacement, the number of artillery is only about half of others at best.

However, a warship of this tonnage is scary enough. Most of the warships in this world are only a few hundred tons in size, with only one or two hundred crew members on board.

The rock pirate warship is even smaller, with only about a hundred pirates on a rock pirate warship.

It is precisely because these warships are too small that it is even more difficult to target with a griffin air strike.

Yan Chuoer was born in a rock bandit, and has extraordinary enthusiasm for the sea and warships.

Facing Sauron's three artillery warships, she only felt her blood boil and her breathing became short of breath.

"Although I don't know how powerful these three warships are, I know they will definitely change the history of naval warfare." Yan Chuoer trembled.

Then, she turned her head and asked, "Sauron, with these three artillery ships, can they defeat the rock demon's 100,000 navy?"

Sauron shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

He really didn't know that the navy is the military branch that needs the most time and foundation.

These three artillery warships are completely the works of Sauron and dozens of shipbuilders on paper.

Although the thousands of gunners who have been trained for a year have fired guns and fired guns at sea, they have not really trained on these three large warships.

Not to mention that these three artillery battleships have never been in actual combat, they have not even gone to sea.

So what will be the end of the fight? Nobody knows!

Even in the actual battle, Sauron couldn't guarantee whether some parts of the battleship would fall apart after the artillery was fired.

Because these three battleships are highly experimental works, according to Sauron's plan, his artillery battleship will go to battle for the first time at least five years later.

Just like the Chinese navy on the earth plane, it took seven years for the first aircraft carrier to be converted into an army.

But in many cases, the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

Just like the United States during World War II, when aircraft carriers were not enough, merchant ships were transformed into aircraft carriers, and they became an army within a few months.

The three experimental warships of Sauron are like this. They have almost no training and may be pulled out of the sea for actual combat!

"Three ships are definitely not enough." Yan Chuo'er said, "Even if there are more powerful warships, three ships can't defeat a thousand ships."

Sauron said: "Not only these three ships, but other warships have also begun to be remodeled, installing artillery directly on the deck. Of course, a warship can only be equipped with a dozen artillery pieces at most. And the number of artillery pieces is far from enough."

Yan Chuo'er sighed, "The Rock Demon's provocation is really not the right time."

"Who said it wasn't?" Sauron said: "Two years later, he dared to provoke, and he was guaranteed to beat him to the ground. But now, our new navy has not yet formed combat effectiveness, at best it has only just sprouted."

Yan Chuo'er was silent for a moment and said, "Go to Yingzhou Island. An enemy's enemy is a friend. Find an alliance with the Hai family."

Sauron nodded, and glanced at the three magnificent artillery warships!

There is no doubt that this represents the future of naval warfare.

But these three warships are too new, whether it is the warships, or the gunners and sailors who are about to board the warships, they are all too immature.

This is a new type of navy that is still in its infancy, and its true combat effectiveness is completely unknown.

Sauron circled the three artillery battleships on a griffin, and then said loudly: "From now on, use the fastest speed to finish the finishing work on the three battleships. Be sure to go to sea for a sea trial within five days. Then seize all the time, Carry out actual combat drills. Because in a month, these three warships will encounter a real sea battle."

"Yes!" The sailors, crew, and boatmen below shouted in unison!

Sauron rode a griffin, flew out of the cave, and said to Yan Chuoer and Xiyan: "Take two paths. The first one is to abandon all illusions and prepare to fight alone. The second one is to go to Yingzhou Island. Do your best to form an alliance with the Hai family!"

Then Sauron hesitated for a moment and said: "Also, contact the Netherworld and assassinate the rock demon!"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Chuo'er's delicate body trembled slightly, but she didn't speak.

It took a lot of courage for Sauron to make this decision. He himself doesn't care much about the identity of the rock demon's half-brother, but the rock demon is Yan Chuo'er's biological son after all.

But fortunately, when Yan Chuoer fell into the abyss of Yanwang Palace, he was impacted by powerful spiritual energy, and many memories have been lost.

...

After leaving the secret shipyard, Sauron took a fast boat to Yingzhou Island in the northeast to form an alliance with the Hai family!

An enemy of an enemy is a friend!

The Hai family on Yingzhou Island was once an enemy of Sauron and sent troops to attack Tianshui City twice.

But so what? There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests!

The East China Sea of ​​the entire continent can only accommodate one overlord. Between the Hai family and the rock demon, either annex or be annexed!

In order to extend their tentacles to the mainland, the Hai family married the Ash family for the first time, and married 30,000 marines.

As a result, the 30,000 navies were completely burned by a fire in the first war of extermination.

For the second time, Haigang dispatched another 10,000 navy to take part in the second Somalia war.

However, the second time was still annihilation of the whole army.

But after going through two rounds of wars, the Hai family now only has 60,000 navy left. But even so, once he forms an alliance with Sauron, there will be a combined navy of nearly 100,000, comparable to that of the Rock Demon.

As long as the two can form an alliance, then this battle will not be lost. In addition, Sauron has griffin air strikes and artillery, and the chances of winning are very high.

"Sauron, I will go to Yingzhou Island with you." Yan Chuoer said.

Sauron shook his head and said, "Auntie, the sea situation is critical now, and the Sox family's navy cannot do without you. Besides, if you follow me, I'm worried that Hai Gang, the Lord of Hai's family, will think something he shouldn't have!"

Moreover, Yan Chuo'er had lost her memory, and she didn't know anything about Haigang at all, so her going was not of much use to the negotiation.

In the end, Sauron headed to Yingzhou Island under the company and protection of Xiyan and Zhuang Zhixuan!

...

Tianshui City is five or six thousand miles away from the waters of Yingzhou Island, and it takes four days and four nights to sail.

Sailing at sea is so boring, what else can one do except make people.

As a result, Sauron's waist was about to be broken again, and the otherworldly fairy Xiyan turned into the queen of sex again.

Sauron's waist is really about to break!

After a cry, Xiyan's delicate body like snow jade slammed on Sauron's body, and then gasped for breath.

"Finally I'm full, I'm full." Sheyan gasped.

And Sauron was like a fish without water, with his mouth wide open, breathing desperately.

"Sauron, do you think Haigang will accept our alliance request?" Xiyan asked.

Sauron said: "If he is smart enough, he will agree!"

Speaking of which, Haigang and Sauron are completely enemies of life and death.

The Hai family owned a small half of the navy, which was wiped out by Sauron. Not to mention, the Hai family is closely related.

Sheyan said: "Then do you think our negotiation with Haigang will go smoothly this time?"

Sauron shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know much about this person."

Indeed, Haigang is a mystery to Sauron, but what is certain is that this is another powerful hero.

Otherwise, the Hai family would not be so powerful in his hands.

Sauron is really curious about what kind of face and attitude Hai Gang, the master of Yingzhou Island, will welcome his visit!

...

When it was dozens of miles away from the wharf of Yingzhou Island, Sauron's boat was already surrounded by battleships of Yingzhou Island!

Sauron turned to the captain of a battleship and said, "Please go and report to Lord Haigang, the Lord of Yingzhou Island, that the Marquis of Tianshui of the Kingdom of Raging Waves and the acting governor of the southeast province, Sauron, are visiting!"

After Sauron called out his identity, he immediately felt the murderous aura around him.

The Hai's sailors on the decks of the surrounding battleships drew their swords almost at the same time, looking at Sauron as if they were about to spew fire, full of absolute hostility.

"Crackling..." At the same time, the giant crossbows on each battleship opened up and released terrifying long arrows, aiming at Sauron.

Sauron even suspected that as long as there was one person taking the lead at this time, hundreds of sailors on several nearby Haishi family warships would desperately kill him, trying to tear him to pieces.

Nearly 40,000 sailors of the Hai family died in the hands of Sauron. It seems that he still underestimated the hostility of the other party.

Facing the swords and swords of hundreds of Hai's sailors, as well as more than a dozen terrifying giant crossbows, Sauron's face remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Please report to Lord Haigang that Sauron is visiting!"

The leader of Hai's navy stared at Sauron for a long time, and then roared in a low voice: "Those who are waiting here, if you dare to move, you will be shot into a hornet's nest immediately!"

Then, he sent a small boat towards the wharf of Yingzhou Island to report to Hai Gang in Yingzhou City.

...

Yingzhou Island, stretching over thousands of miles, is equivalent to a province of Nulang Kingdom, with more than five million people, all of which are ruled by the Hai family.

Yingzhou City is the capital of Yingzhou Island, with a population of more than 300,000 people. It is a typical seaside city, and the maritime trade is very developed!

The core of the Hai family's rule is this Yingzhou City!

Sauron waited for more than two hours before he received the order from Yingzhou City to allow Sauron to land!

Then, escorted by four warships, Sauron's boat landed at the wharf of Yingzhou Island.

Sauron originally thought that Haigang would send the young master Hai Wuyan to greet him at the pier, but no, he just sent a general of the rank of ten thousand commanders.

This treatment is very unequal, it seems that Haigang treats Sauron very coldly.

Immediately, a shadow cast over the upcoming negotiation in Sauron's heart, and he couldn't help but underestimate Haigang.

Haigang, who is so talented and bold, shouldn't be such a narrow-minded person!

"Marquis Sauron, the lord is waiting for you in the Governor's Mansion." The Elder Wan said.

Haigang owns the territory of a province, but has not surrendered to any country for the time being, and his position is the governor of Yingzhou Island.

This governor is what he calls himself. This person is really very humble.

Under the protection of a hundred-man cavalry, the three of Sauron entered Yingzhou City in a carriage and headed for the Governor's Mansion.

In the city of Yingzhou, people come and go, it is very prosperous.

The city wall is very high and thick. Most of the houses in the city are made of stone, and the style is somewhat similar to the human kingdom, and some are similar to the style of the rock people.

These houses don't look gorgeous, but they are very solid.

About two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped in Yingzhou Governor's Mansion.

This Governor's Mansion looks very similar to the Governor's Mansion of the Southeast Province again, with carved railings and jade, pavilions and pavilions, sturdy and gorgeous.

The entire Governor's Mansion is completely out of the atmosphere of the rock people, and it is also somewhat incompatible with Yingzhou City.

Under the guidance of this captain, Sauron entered the lobby of Yingzhou Governor's Mansion!

"Your Excellency Sauron, please wait again. Your Majesty will be here in a moment!" The Chief Wan exited the hall of the Governor's Mansion and closed the door.

Immediately, there were only Sauron, Xiyan, and Zhuang Zhixuan left in the huge hall, and they didn't even serve a pot of tea.

After waiting for more than an hour, Haigang still did not appear.

Even, no one came out to greet him. Sauron was already so thirsty that his throat was smoking, but he still didn't serve half a pot of tea.

Sauron frowned. He was not a tolerant person. Facing such a cold reception, he felt very unhappy.

In the Kingdom of Nulang, he even beat Xili to shame, and slapped the Prime Minister of the kingdom for his unscrupulous words, but now he was treated so contemptuously and coldly by Haigang, how could he not be angry?

After waiting for another half an hour, Sauron ran out of patience, and he stood up and said coldly, "Since the master doesn't welcome you, let's leave now."

After all, he was going to leave with Princess Xiyan and Zhuang Zhixuan, ending the alliance that hadn't started yet.

At this moment, there was a laugh from the back of the hall, and then a handsome and elegant middle-aged man came out, bowed to Sauron from a distance, and said, "Hai Gang, the people outside Fangwai, pay homage to the kingdom of Nulang." Your Royal Highness Princess Xiyan, pay my respects to the Marquis of Sauron!"
