The recruitment work was extremely smooth. In an era when there were not many entertainment options, the news of recruiting soldiers for the First Corps spread like a gust of wind around the Rock of Eternity. Many refugees outside the city also hurried to the recruitment office, or

They are watching the fun or they want to join. The miserable days after becoming refugees have made them full of anger. Rather than continuing this life of needing to receive relief food, many refugees with high self-esteem simply choose to join the army. At least joining the army can

When you are full, you can kill your enemies with your bare hands. Therefore, it doesn’t take long for the quota of one thousand people to be filled up.

Among them, the Nagareth elves account for the majority, ranking first among the elves in each country with a number of 450. After all, as their country's army, most of the Nagareth elves have heard of the reputation of the First Corps. The second largest number is

There are more than two hundred hunters from Charis, thirty of whom are equipped with powerful white lion mounts.

To be honest, when the dozen Charis female elf hunters appeared in front of Carter riding their white lions, he had to admit that these wild-looking female hunters perfectly hit his xp.

The remaining supplementary troops were composed of Cosqui, Yris and the Elves of Avalon. Carter did not meet any of the Elion Riding Masters he wanted to recruit at the beginning.

But this is normal. The Elion elves scattered abroad will definitely choose to return to their hometown during this special period. Carter's dream of recruiting some Elion elf riding masters will have to wait a little longer to be realized.

Carter's return trip was delayed by another day because he needed to give the newly recruited refugees time to say goodbye to their families.

But just when he returned to the hotel to rest and wait for the next day, several messages came back after the clones were released, letting him know about the big event that had just happened on the vast ocean.

…………

October 25, 4499 BC.

On the rough northern and southern oceans, Ulthuan's elven navy and the Chaos fleet were engaged in a melee for six months. Chaos was losing its own keel ships at a rate of more than a dozen every day, more than thirty

Thousands of Chaos believers perished, but the combined fleet, dominated by the Lothern navy, suffered very few losses.

Except for being caught off guard at the beginning and sinking a few Eagle ships using special spells by Chaos casters, the United Fleet has never been sunk by Chaos. Most of the subsequent losses were caused by running aground on rocks or being besieged by a large number of flying Chaos troops.

Therefore, Dismarx, as the main commander of the combined fleet, improved the wave tactics under Nelson's suggestion, stipulating that the attacking Eagle ships must fight in a group of three ships, and they should not be too far away from each other during the battle, which is convenient.

The elves using longbows on the ship formed a strong enough anti-aircraft firepower. Moreover, the previous attack efficiency of a single Eagle ship was proved to be too low by actual combat. Although the Communication Eagle could be eliminated after the target was found and the surrounding right ships were summoned, most of the time

Unable to arrive in time, some keel ships broke through the sea blockade and landed on Ulthuan.

In this case, it is better to attack together from the beginning. After the wave tactics were changed to three eagle ships as a team, the sinking efficiency immediately increased greatly.

Longbows used for combat and air defense have a limited range, and the effective air defense area is limited to more than 150 meters around the ship. However, most of the flying Chaos believers are not the thick-skinned type.

As long as they are hit in the upper body, the severe pain will make it difficult for them to continue to control the flapping of their wings, and the soldiers will eventually fall into the sea. If you want to take off in the sea, unless the shape is particularly similar to a bird, it will be difficult to fly again.

.

Therefore, the improved wave tactics have made it increasingly difficult for the keel boats in the Chaos fleet to break through the blockade. The ships of the combined fleet have also received more and more military exploits and medals.

But fortunately, the followers of the Four Hawkers are an ordinary race and would have given up long ago in the face of such huge casualties.

But thinking about it from another angle, it was precisely because the major kingdoms were opposed to each other in the past and were busy with palace struggles and ignored the threats at sea that the first wave of Chaos fleets landed on Ulthuan without any hindrance, and finally the Outer Rim Kingdoms were defeated.

The territory was almost completely occupied, which was the outer territory of the dragon kingdom. Under the protection of the dragons in the sky and Caledor - the dragon tamer, not a single inch of land was lost.

"These fallen ones are not fools. The number of their fleets in each wave is no less than a hundred ships. The giant eagle knights conducting aerial reconnaissance also discovered a huge fleet of five hundred ships." Dismax, who was sitting at the top, said.

.

Due to the need for command, Carter's avatar changed his name to Nelson, a naval advisor, and followed Prince Lothern to a "dragon ship".

He was staying in the conference room, analyzing the intelligence that had just been sent to him with the Elf Prince and several other senior officers.

"Even if they gather together, they cannot escape Marcelan's wrath. As long as the Lord of the Ocean is angry, the denser they gather, the more they will die!"

"Indeed, even if the ants get together, they are still just ants. They still have no effective means to deal with our Eagle Ship, let alone the Dragon Ship, which has not taken any action so far. Their poor ship is not even one-third as tall as the Dragon Ship.

None, you can break them if you hit them directly, not to mention that cutting metal on both sides is like a dragon blade cutting bread!"

There were many officers in the conference room. Nelson just listened to their discussion silently, but he did not agree with their arrogant attitude, so he found an opportunity to interrupt and interject:

"Everyone, we need to make one thing clear strategically, that is, our goal is to prevent the Chaos fleet from continuing to transport troops to Ulthuan to harm our compatriots. Of course, as you just said, these fallen

Even if they unite, they still can't defeat our fleet, but they will gain an advantage by forming a large fleet."

"What advantage? Just those keel ships?" Due to various reasons, Nelson, who had repeatedly made excellent suggestions, was not welcomed by all senior officers of the United Fleet. After all, his identity was only a businessman, not a nobleman. And those who wanted to board the dragon ship

The basic conditions are to have noble status and pass some ceremonial competitions.

Nelson smiled after hearing this and continued: "That's why I said we must consider it strategically. From a naval tactical point of view, the opponent's small ships are indeed no match for us, but after forming a large fleet, they can completely withstand our attack and continue

Moving forward, a large fleet of five hundred keel ships, even if they don't resist and let us attack, how many ships can a few small groups of eagle ships sink before they land on Ulthuan? And if we mobilize more

If the team comes, there will be a loophole in the blockade.

With the number of Chaos Fallen, it is very possible for a large fleet to pass through accidentally. And even if we mobilize more teams to attack, even if we sink more than half of their keel ships, there will still be 20,000 to 30,000 of them.

The number of troops who can land on Ulthuan, not to mention those who take the opportunity to enter through loopholes in the blockade, will only be greater."

As a modern person who has experienced the Internet age, his level of thinking is actually the most distinctive compared to his strength. Otherwise, if you pull out any naval officer present, he will be better at commanding battleship operations than him.

"this……"

Nelson's well-founded analysis made all the elves present look at each other in confusion, not knowing how to respond.

"We can ask our ancient allies, the sea dragons and the dragons of Caledor, to send more members to help us."

"Alas, I have included the reinforcements they sent, but there is still no way to completely block it. The vast ocean is too big to completely block it, and what they are pursuing is not to conquer the seaport, as long as it is a shoal.

Low keel boats can be used to land, and they don’t need to consider the return period at all... and comparing numbers with the endless chaos is definitely not a rational choice."

Although the proud elf nobles looked down on Nelson's origin, they would not despise his words, because the advisor had proven himself many times, and they were not fools and would not deny his words just because they didn't like it.

"Then your Excellency, you mean that we can only let them break through, and there is no way at all?" The elf prince sitting in the first place frowned and asked in a worried tone. He knew that every time the spirit in front of him raised a question,

Several feasible solutions will also be provided, so there is a bit of expectation in the eyes.

"...There are not no solutions, but the risks are very high, and even if they succeed, they can only alleviate the current predicament for a period of time. As long as they maintain this continuous momentum, then this plan is a one-shot deal, and at most it will provide us with

Delay for several months."

"Brush." ​​All the elves present turned their attention to Nelson, eagerly waiting for his speech.

Nelson sat up straight, took out a sketch from his pocket and spread it on the table before continuing: "Ahem, through observation, I found that these chaos leaders who rule these ships at sea actually want to solve us, and they have arranged it many times

Special magic ships and traps tried to take down the Eagle Ship, but they only succeeded at first. After we became wary, we never succeeded again, but the other party was always thinking of ways to find a way to restrain our warships. In this case

Why don’t we sell it a crack?”

As he spoke, Nelson pointed to the sketch on the table, which contained a map of the northernmost archipelago of Ulthuan.

"Set up an ambush here, conduct a decisive battle at sea, and eliminate most of their current ships in one go. As long as it is determined to eat us, then this plan has the possibility of success! The western waters of the archipelago will be our next battlefield...
