Chapter 245: The Road to Feralas
Just two days after the Battle of Tanalis, the fleet of Kurtiras and the troops of the First Division finally arrived.
"If I had known that Kozan would choose to play straight ball, why would I have transferred the fleet to other places to harass the goblins' merchant ships?"
Dai Lin said to Li De with some depression, but this made Li De feel even more ashamed.
"Don't say it, it's all because of my work mistakes. I guess the goblins are all strategic and courageous, which causes such a huge loss."
Li De was very uncomfortable now. If reinforcements could arrive a few days earlier, how could these things happen?
Of course history has been born, and nothing can be assumed. It can only be said that Grezlik is indeed bold. His purpose is to capture the Protector of the Sea before reinforcements arrive.
Therefore, even if the reinforcements set out a few days earlier, they may force Kezan to attack Hanhai Protector even earlier.
After all this, Dai Lin couldn't say anything more, but he kept saying that the naval formation he brought this time had an astonishing 32 main ships, and the overall level of the warship was one level higher than that of the goblins.
"If the goblins dare to dispatch the fleet again, I will definitely let them go without a return!"
Dai Lin's words were so powerful, and everyone had no doubt about his words.
After accepting the transformation of the light of civilization and reaching the hero level, Dai Lin's spirit was different.
He acted decisively and asked on the spot to watch the review of the last naval battle, so as to target the naval battle level of the goblins and formulate strategies and tactics.
But when Dai Lin started watching the battle review, he couldn't help but shake his head several times during the whole process.
"Alas, two third-rate navys, using second-rate warships, fought a naval battle in the Solatin era."
When it comes to issues related to the naval field, Dai Lin seemed to be sharp and he was ruthless in commenting on the battle between Hanhai Dudu and Kezan.
Li De and the commanders were ashamed of this. Of course, only Dai Lin... or the general of Zandala was qualified to say this.
Looking at the whole world, except for these two companies, in the naval battles of more than 90%, the total investment of the main battleships on both sides exceeded 10.
In other words, most naval generals do not have the combat experience of commanding more than 10 main battleships.
It is precisely because of inexperience that when so many ships on both sides of the enemy and us fight together, their commands will definitely be a little panicked.
However, when he saw that Hanhai Protector used the power of Loa to create storms on the sea, Dai Lin expressed his strong interest.
Using the power of Loa to create a favorable environment for the fleet is very advanced tactical thinking, and Kurtiras also has a similar tide sage.
"Hanhai Dudu has a considerable number of goblin engineers working, and they know the best about Kezan's industrial capabilities.
According to the information we have, the Kozan fleet was damaged and may be repaired within a week."
Li De rubbed his temples and said, Dai Lin was also frightened by this time.
"A week?! If this is true, then the goblins are really terrible. If they repair ships faster than us, then in theory they build ships faster than us, and they will definitely not give them enough time to develop."
Dai Lin said seriously that Li De was not that anxious.
"Please rest assured that even with superb skills, goblins do not have the ability to fight for a long time. Their coal and cotton have been affected, which means that their machines cannot move and they cannot make important sails."
After saying this, Li De's mood was not so good. According to convention, these analyses were said by Nogferge.
The next strategic plan for Kezan is being formulated, and Li De has to face a very serious problem in this process.
The fleet of Kurtiras is too large to exceed the carrying capacity of Hope Port.
In fact, the fleet of Kurtiras came and left before, and he could not stay in Hanhai Protector for a long time. A large part of the reason was that Hope Port was still too small.
Theramore needs to be completed urgently, but the first phase of the project has just been completed, that is, the land is leveled and the foundation has been laid, and some buildings have been built.
The question was once again placed in front of Li De. What Sandys said to Li De before leaving made him no longer have hope of clearing the earth elements.
Fortunately, the exploration plan that was set before did not disappoint Li De, and the sand trolls had achieved results in exploring the cliffs on the shady side of Zulfarak Mountain.
In addition, with the arrival of the First Division, the cost of reconnaissance work was also reduced.
"Teacher, after preliminary exploration, the cliff heights are a road that is hundreds of kilometers west of the tower road!
If we can clear the poisonous snakes and giant scorpions, we can successfully cross the Thousand Needle Stone Forest and reach Phelas!”
And what made Li De even happier was that Nibule also brought him better news.
"Teacher, on the way to Phelas, we also found some strange flying creatures living on the cliff.
Their size and body are similar to griffins, and they are even stranger to griffins.
These flying creatures look like lions as a whole, with leather wings that can fly on their front legs.
The strangest thing is that these flying creatures have crochet tails that look like scorpions.
I saw that when they were flying, the skin wings were still most of the time, so I gave them a name called Wind Driver.
But Mr. Buck told me that these creatures have their own names, and they are called scorpion lions. It's quite appropriate, but it's too boring."
After listening to Nibule's report, Li De was more than just excited, he was simply excited.
He didn't expect that it was really bright and he not only confirmed that the road from the cliff high ground could be clear, but also discovered precious flying creatures.
Since the Orc War, the Kingdom Continent has begun to develop rapidly. A large part of the reason is that it is the popularity of griffins.
Flying mounts can completely change the lifestyle of a regime, a race, and a civilized one.
Li De used to introduce griffins, but griffins were not suitable for breeding in the hot and arid vast ocean.
Now, I have found those scorpion lions that are drought-resistant and have no worse flight capacity than griffins.
As long as these scorpion lions can be tamed, the future vast sea protection will burst into a prosperous exploration period.
If it is clear that this is a valuable path, we can naturally start to allocate funds to develop.
Finance Minister Nogfog was captured, and much of the work of the Finance Ministry could not continue.
At the critical moment, Li De served as Minister of Finance, which allowed the Ministry of Finance to operate normally.
Of course, many people recalled in their autobiography that Li De was in charge of the Ministry of Finance, which was their happiest period, but it was a story later.
The development of cliff heights is based on the fact that a road to the cliff is carved out from the Zulfarak Mountains.
The Zulfarak Mountains are mainly granite and are quite difficult to excavate. But Li De has a way, you should know that there is an excavation expert living in Hanhai Protector.
