The lookout is built on the only mast of the Lionheart, but the masts in the underground world are not too high, so the lookout is only five or six meters above the deck. Even if Alvin is a mage, from this height Jumping off is stress-free. The first thing Ivan found was the real captain of the Lionheart, a second-level mad warrior. This guy's name is Gross. He is a rare demon with naval experience. Although he doesn't really know much, he is already very good compared to others, and his strength is also so-so, so he can be under Ivan. He served as the first captain of the newly built navy. Except for a dense beard, Gross is very similar to Kido in both temper and appearance. If Ivan hadn't known better, Kido's men would never have had naval experience, and they might have suspected that he was Kido. relatives. However, the Berserker Demon is a Berserker Demon with a warlike and rough temperament. When Ivan asked Gross about how he planned to attack the human stronghold this time and how he planned to deal with the long-range attacks from human ships, Gross's answer was very simple, that is He rushed up and killed them, but he didn't care about how much damage there would be in the process. Ivan asked Gross patiently if he had any other combat plans. After thinking hard for a long time, Gross shook his head regretfully and claimed that this was the only method he knew, and it was also the most popular strategy among the Demon Navy. . When Ivan heard this, he just wanted to kick Gross into the sea. He installed so many ballista ballistas on the deck of the Lionheart, but they were not for decoration. Why did this guy see the people on the ship? So many, there is only one thought left in my mind: boarding battle. However, despite the anger in his heart, Ivan also knew that based on the actual situation, Gross's proposal was correct. In this battle, Ivan must capture a intact ship in order to load supplies and personnel back to Odelia. In Hong Kong, ballistas and ballistae are easy to use. But the bad thing is that the attack power is too strong. If an enemy ship is damaged, Xiu doesn't know where to repair it in this vast sea. After several thoughts in his mind, Ivan changed his question: "Gross, how much do you know about human naval warfare?" "Human naval warfare?" Gross smacked his lips with disdain, rudely. Commented: "The human navy is a group of cowards. They can only sneak attacks and attack our ships with long-range weapons. When we react, they leave early. It is not until our fleet's casualties reach a certain level that they dare to launch Boarding battle" "Oh" Aiwen was speechless. Isn't this kind of fighting method inevitable? There is a natural physical gap between humans and demons. If you don't think of ways to weaken the enemy's numbers and just pounce on them and start a fight, you'd be a fool. "Wait a minute, you just said that the human navy likes to sneak attack you?" Suddenly. Alvin thought of a question. "Yes!" Gross was stunned for a moment, then thought about it again, and then nodded affirmatively: "That's right, the navy unit I served in in the past, almost every time it went to sea and encountered a human navy, it would be attacked by them first. "Sneak attack." "If I understand correctly, you mean that when the lookout of your fleet discovered the human fleet, they have already launched an attack on you, is that right?" asked seriously. "That's right, those useless guys have to wait until the human navy launches an attack before raising the alarm. They are just a bunch of freeloaders." When it came to this matter, Gross couldn't help but feel satisfied. He said with an angry face and hatred. "But. If I'm not mistaken, humans should not have dark vision. Theoretically, our demons' vision is greater than that of humans. They will be discovered by us in advance before they sneak up on us, unless they are prepared outside our vision. "But in this case, from their perspective, they will definitely not be able to see your fleet, so how did they discover and determine your location?" Ivan asked incomprehensibly. "I can't understand this matter, so I said those lookouts are just idiots. They must have neglected their duties and caused the problem." Ivan's long string of words made Gross confused. After being stunned for a while, he could only answer honestly. "It's strange" Ivan frowned unconsciously. He had long known that the human navy was stronger than the demon navy, but now he understood that the gap between the two might be greater than he imagined. Even bigger. Although he still has the confidence to lead the Lion Heart to the final victory of this expedition, he can no longer guarantee that he can defeat the opponent completely. Ivan asked Gross a few more questions, and seeing that he really couldn't answer anything new, he sent him away. "This shouldn't be due to magic." Ivan knocked his head and muttered to himself. In the human world, the number of mages is far greater thanThere are fewer demons here, and even fewer of them are willing to join the navy. Even if there are, it is impossible to play such a big role. The inner earth sea is so vast, and a mage cannot always use spells to find the location of the enemy. Not to mention whether the released mana fluctuations will be noticed by the enemy, the mana required for the spell alone cannot be supplied. After thinking for a moment and having no clue, Ivan called Sika and Lance to his side. Although these two people had little experience in naval battles, one had a lot of strange knowledge, and the other had most of the memories of the tentacle monsters crossing the inner sea of ??the earth. , three people discuss it together, maybe it can give him some inspiration. Soon, the two came to Alvin and listened to his questions. There was nothing to do at sea and it was so idle. So although Sika had no obligation to answer, she was quite interested in Alvin's questions. Interested, I tapped my chin and thought hard. "Viscount Ivan, this shouldn't be due to the spell." After thinking for a while, Sika expressed his opinion, which was basically the same as Ivan's. Then he said: "I think this may be due to the help of the contract." With the help of the beast, if you use the contract beast to conduct reconnaissance at the front of the fleet, it is possible to get information about the enemy in advance. " "Contract beast?" Ai Wen's heart lit up and he thought this explanation was good, but then he felt that it was wrong: " The value of contract beasts is very high. I don¡¯t think the human navy can have one on every ship, and the effective communication radius between them and their owners does not exceed one mile, but the human navy can obviously get news from five miles away. , This seems to be a bit inconsistent! " "As for the news, you can rely on the contract beast to return the notification. Although there are some errors, it should be made up through calculations. If you have the financial resources" Sika nodded silently. Sachs was rich and could do whatever he wanted. Taking out a lot of contracted beasts does not mean that other forces can also have such great financial resources and courage. ¡¡¡¡¡ The update in June was really not good, but there is nothing to say about it. July is here, and I hope it can make up for it.
