Chapter 245 Towards the Southern Border
"Expand the wind wings!" Captain Garros ordered.
"Expand the wind wings--!" The messenger in the command room repeated the order loudly at one of the row of trumpets in front of him.
“Wow——!”
Even inside the battleship, you can clearly hear the sound of the super thick canvas stretching!
On both sides of the huge battleship, three pairs of wind wings that looked like dragon wings suddenly stretched out, gradually spreading in the blew of the lake wind!
"Rise the sails!" Garros ordered again.
"Rise the sails--!" The messenger changed his trumpet and shouted loudly at the top of his voice.
The silver-haired lady sitting in the deputy commander's seat listened with interest to the command method behind her that "communication is basically yelling" and her eyes stared at the blue lake water that seemed to be at her feet.
"Huh~~~!"
The large jacksail slowly rises from the mast and slowly unfolds, and at the same time it begins to become swelling under the blowing of the lake wind.
Liya clearly saw that the tip of the impact corner in front slightly cut through the lake surface, and the huge warship gradually left the dock and began to move forward smoothly and slowly.
Garros held the rudder with both hands, turned his head and ordered again: "The magic power pushes the engine to start!"
"Yes! The magic power drives the engine to start!" A navy soldier sitting not far away from Leah confirmed loudly.
The soldier's uniform was different from other comrades. It seemed to be under a double-breasted military dress, with the hem of the robe, which looked graceful, and a green badge that symbolized the "wind element" on his chest was embroidered.
The soldier pressed his hands on the panel in front of him, and then a blue stream of light suddenly passed by!
"Buzz~!"
Immediately afterwards, shiny green magic patterns flashed rhythmically on the dark panel!
In an instant, the complex and mysterious patterns covered the entire command center with the soldiers' hands! The constantly flashing green and green light made the entire cabin dyed with a layer of magical color!
At the same time, as the speed of the warship began to increase, the huge impact angle continued to break open the lake water ahead. The crystal waves rose into the air, but in the next second it hit the solid and bright porthole, turning into a clear water flow and sliding down.
The huge hull began to vibrate slightly. Lea looked up at the distance and saw the forest she had passed and the fortress covered with vines rushing towards her at an extremely fast speed!
As the vibration of the hull began to become strong, the silver-haired little loli suddenly felt her body falling backwards uncontrollably and pressed tightly against the backrest of the seat!
But the woods and fortresses in front of us are slowly falling down!
A few seconds later, the verdant green ground had completely disappeared from her vision, and the blue sky and white clouds filled the entire porthole at this moment!
The naval warrior sitting next to Leah sang a loud battle song:
"Invincible battleships, walking in the clouds!
The golden sunshine puts armor on us;
The gust of wind guides us!”
The officers and soldiers of the command center joined the chorus one after another. Even General Garros sang loudly with his subordinates at this moment:
“The blue sky is our speeding sea;
The vast white clouds are the waves we draw!
Go ahead, Freya Royal Navy!
We are violent thunder and lightning, and the enemies of the kingdom are crushed to pieces before us!
We build the strongest city walls and fortresses in the sky, guarding the land we love deeply!
The glory of His Majesty the King is always with you, and the flag of the fiery lion will never fall!
Go ahead, Freya Royal Navy!”
As the singing was the huge warship broke through the clouds, the golden sunlight shone on everyone's face through the porthole, and the faces filled with confidence and joy were frozen into an eternal picture at this moment, deeply imprinted in Leah's mind.
Until a long time later, she would never forget these Royal Navy soldiers and the passionate and powerful naval song.
...
The Royal Navy's floating warships crossed the towering mountains, dense jungles, and the magnificent Vosos River, and became closer and closer to the capital of Xipo, the southernmost territory of the kingdom, the capital of Earl Hillar.
The natural environment in another world did not suffer devastating destruction by humans like Leah in his previous life. In the scenery along the way, the fields and villages with curling smoke only occupy a small part, while most areas are undeveloped virgin lands.
The blue waves dyed with forests and the wild beasts rushing on the plains made Liya, who grew up in the steel and concrete forest since she was a child in her previous life, feel refreshed and happy from the bottom of her heart.
"At the same time, why is the floating fleet of the North Wind Empire called the 'Air Force', while our Royal Freya Navy is called the 'Navy'?" Riya chatted with Garros while admiring the scenery outside the porthole.
"Well, there is still an interesting thing to talk about." Garros leaned leisurely on the handrail beside the porthole and talked: "His Majesty, the third king of our Freya Kingdom, His Majesty Marus, once wanted to conquer the North Plateau and then let Freya's territory reach the sea."
"In order to show his determination, His Majesty Marus also formed the Royal Navy of the Kingdom of Freya, but the Royal Navy at that time was just an empty shell and there was not even a small fishing boat." At this point, Garros smiled and shook his head: "As a result, you also know that our Freya is not the opponent of the orc army at all. In the end, His Majesty Marus's wish to expand the territory was buried deep in the soil with his death."
Garros stood up, looked at the white clouds in the distance, and slowly spoke: "Although His Majesty's feat was not successful, the navy's organization was retained. When we acquired the floating warships, there was no concept of "air force" on the mainland, so we were simply arranged under the Royal Navy."
"So, the 'Air Force' is also a concept that has only emerged in recent years?" Leah speculated.
"Yes, as the new floating warships of the North Wind Empire gradually began to be equipped, the floating warships played an increasingly important role in the northern battlefield. From being just a vassal of the army to now being able to become independent armies. Recently, the air war technology on the mainland has developed very rapidly." A hint of unwillingness flashed in Garros' eyes.
"Then we Freya..." Thinking of the gap between her country and neighboring countries, Leya's voice also lowered.
