Chapter 550 Cutting off branches and leaves(2/2)
The origin of tanning is not a matter of terrestrial races, but involves a long war between intelligent creatures in the east of the water. It can be extrapolated to thousands of years ago and is beyond the scope of tomorrow's discussion.
Three behemoths, in the shape of a Chinese character, lie across the Long Lake, a good distance from the shore.
The most conspicuous thing is the three masts, one tall and two short, which is where their name comes from - three-masted sailing ship.
In the waters around Faerûn, the most common sailing ships range from thirty to fifty meters in length and six to ten meters in width, depending on their size. Not only do they depend on the craftsmanship of the shipbuilder, but they are also very
The materials used to build it, especially the keel and mast, are usually made from a single piece of hardwood.
The three three-masted sailing ships of the Basilisk Human Slavery Group are relatively small in size. The longest one is only about forty meters, and the remaining two are barely thirty meters long.
In addition to three masts, it has nearly a hundred oar openings, which shows that it can not only sail by wind power, but also add a lot of manpower to speed up its sailing. There are more than a dozen large bags covered with oilcloth on the deck.

Copperfield did not answer and asked instead: "My lord, what do I think is the most important thing in a naval battle?"
"The combination is good, and it can achieve both attack, defense and speed. If the situation is almost the same in other aspects, speed should be the most important factor. It can attack and escape. If the battleship is not destroyed, there will be a comeback.
