Chapter 566 567. Set sail
Partington Island is just behind the Queen Egwene Islands. The Silver Pegasus Legion built a warehouse on the island to store military supplies. It usually needs the military supplies of the Queen Egwene Islands. Almost all military supplies are shipped from the warehouse on Partington Island.
There are also many supplies stored in Padstow.
The six magic airships were fully loaded and did not stop at Padstow City.
After the magic airship arrived at Partington Island, Roy reassigned five thousand elf warriors to nine magic airships.
In this way, each magic airship can be replenished with some food and military supplies.
In order to maximize the combat effectiveness of the mine guard group, Earl Swinburne handed Roy a blank material application form, and Earl Swinburne's name was signed at the end of the list.
Roy had long heard from Captain Berkeley that there was a regiment's material warehouse on Partington Island.
The warehouse is located in a secret stone chamber at the heart of the mountain on Partington Island. Roy, led by a logistics department official, walked into the stone chamber dug into the inner wall of the mountain.
The heavy iron gate was as high as a second floor, but the logistics department official put his hands on the two stone doors and pushed a little harder. The huge stone door opened so easily with a rustling friction sound.
A squadron of Silver Moon Elf infantry is stationed in this warehouse, and they usually guard the warehouse.
The person in charge of the warehouse is a Silver Moon Elf officer. He looks very young and is very cheerful and talkative.
He heard that the officer who came to the warehouse to collect supplies this time was Boss Roy from the Partington plane. He actually took Roy into the warehouse himself and introduced him to the various military supplies in the warehouse, which can basically be divided into weapons. , equipment, consumables and other categories.
The warehouse was divided into several areas, which made Roy a little confused...
Because he had a blank list of supplies in his hand that he could fill in at will, Roy felt good about any supplies he saw in the warehouse and wanted to take them away.
When passing a row of weapon racks, the Silver Moon Elf officer smiled at Roy: "Roy, you came out of Castletown Elf Academy, right?"
"Yeah! But it's a bit embarrassing to say that, so far, I haven't been able to graduate from Castletown Elf Academy!" Roy touched his nose and responded with some embarrassment.
"I also came out of Castletown Elf Academy. Speaking of which, you should call me senior!" the Silver Moon Elf officer said familiarly:
"The long swords on the weapon racks here are all high-quality weapons. They are the best quality weapons in the warehouse. If you need long sword weapons, it is best to get the ones on this row of weapon racks!"
Roy glanced at the Silver Moon Elf officer with gratitude, and then said, "Senior, I'm not going to apply for weapons and armaments this time. I'm going to apply for a batch of armor-piercing arrows."
The Silver Moon Elf officer smiled and said to Roy: "The armor-breaking arrows are in the consumables area, not here. I will take you there."
The Silver Moon Elf officer led Roy through a corridor and came to another door. When he opened the stone door, the items placed inside seemed to be quite varied. Many of them were placed in boxes. Only the items at the front were There is only one sample on the shelf.
"How many armor-piercing arrows are you going to apply for?"
"A million," Roy said. "Senior, are there too many applications for armor-piercing arrows?"
"..."
The person in charge of the Silver Moon Elf was speechless and asked curiously: "How many archers do you have on hand? You actually want to apply for one million armor-piercing arrows!"
Roy applied for one million armor-piercing arrows. Although this number seems relatively large, in fact, if these armor-piercing arrows were divided equally among 5,000 elf warriors, each elf warrior would only receive four pots of arrows. …
In addition to one million armor-piercing arrows, Roy also applied for ten wooden boxes each of ordinary arrowheads, tail feathers, and arrow shafts.
As long as there is still a chance to recover the damaged armor-piercing arrows, the mixed-blood elf warriors will pick them up and repair them. These ordinary-quality arrow accessories are the largest inventory of materials.
You can also see some other supplies in the supplies warehouse. The shelves against the wall are filled with various types of magic potions, boxes of elf cookies, first aid bandages, etc.
"Five thousand elf warriors." Roy said casually.
"That's okay. I'll arrange for people to move these armor-piercing arrows out, and you can choose..."
After the Silver Moon Elf officer arranged for the manpower to carry the armor-piercing arrows, he took Roy and continued walking forward.
If there was life sap, Roy would actually like to get some, but unfortunately there is none in the warehouse.
After walking further into the warehouse, Roy saw some big guys covered with tarpaulins. It was hard to see what was inside. The tarpaulins were covered with dust, as if no one had cared about them for a long time.
Roy smelled a smell of grease nearby, pointed at the big guys covered with tarpaulins, and asked curiously: "What are those?"
"Ship-borne ballista!" said the Silver Moon Elf official. A warehouse manager walked over, cut the rope tied to it with a dagger, lifted the rainproof cloth, and a ship-borne ballista with grease on the surface entered Roy's eyes.
This kind of ballista is a bit special. There is only a monopod underneath.
This is different from the bed crossbow with four wheels. This kind of monopod can only be used normally if it is firmly fixed on the deck.
Roy walked over, casually shook the hand wheel on it, and easily turned the ballista in one direction.
The adjustable rotation angle of this ship-borne crossbow can reach 180°, and the adjustment angle of the pitch bracket is about 60°. It can shoot a medium-sized crossbow at a time, which is very similar to the whaling guns on some sea ships, but slightly smaller. .
"What? Are you interested in these ship-borne ballistae?" the Silver Moon Elf officer came over and asked.
Roy nodded and said, "This time we are going to Sheephorn Bay to fight the gray dwarf bandits, and we can just install this kind of ballista on the magic airship."
The Silver Moon Elf officer walked to the opposite shelf, lifted the lid of the box with force, pursed his lips and gestured to Roy: "The magic crossbows here are all used with ship-borne crossbows. The only drawback is that these crossbows are Once these magic crossbow arrows are used up, it will be very troublesome to replenish them!"
There was also a sticky note with elven writing on the magic crossbow arrow. Roy took a closer look and found that the sticky note was marked with words such as 'explosion', 'penetration' and 'freeze'.
"Senior, I would like to apply for forty ship-borne ballistae." Roy said to the Silver Moon Elf officer.
"Then write it down on the list. Go to the back. There are magic potions over there..." the Silver Moon Elf officer said to Roy.
After wandering around the material warehouse, Roy took out the blank application form and filled in one million armor-piercing arrows, forty ship-borne ballistas, and five hundred boxes of elf biscuits on the material application form. He handed it to the Silver Moon Elf officer.
"I thought you would apply for some magic potions. Recently, the price of magic potions has risen a bit outrageously!"
The Silver Moon Elf officer looked at the few words on the material application form and whispered.
Roy responded quickly:
"Senior, I have a potion workshop in Castletown City, and I have no shortage of magic potions!"
…
The military supplies Roy applied for were not too much, and they were soon delivered to the beach in the sheltered fjord.
Currently, there is only one three-masted sailing ship left in the sheltered fjord that has not been transformed into a magic airship. The floating device of this three-masted sailing ship has been installed, and the old dwarf Mags is leading four dwarf apprentices to debug the propulsion device.
Roy came to the stern of the three-masted sailboat, raised his head and shouted to the old dwarf Mags standing on the scaffolding:
"Mags, I need your help right now...it's urgent!"
"Boss Roy, if you have anything to ask, Mags is willing to help you!" The old dwarf Mags stood on the wooden frame, stuck his head out, and said loudly to Roy who was standing on the beach.
Roy pointed to the ship-borne ballistae covered with rainproof cloth on the beach and said loudly:
"I would like your help to install these ship-borne ballistae on the magic airship!"
The old dwarf Mags took off his gloves and stuffed them into the pocket of his overalls. He walked to the beach, opened the rainproof cloth, checked the ship-borne ballistae covered by the rainproof cloth, and said clearly:
" Oh, this is easy!"
"Ouch! These ship-borne crossbows seem to be made by dwarves! This will be easier to handle. In fact, the mounting holes have been reserved on the decks of those three-masted sailboats. We only need to use long screws to secure these ship-borne crossbows Just load the cannon."
The old dwarf Mags said confidently and slapped his chest loudly.
Under the leadership of Mags, the mixed-blood elf crew on the magic airship installed ship-borne ballistae on the magic airship overnight. Each magic airship can install four ship-borne ballistae. As expected, just as the old dwarf Mags said Said that ship-borne ballistae can be mounted on the side of the ship.
…
While Roy was preparing military supplies, Miss Christine rode the Silver Pegasus and checked the wind currents in the nearby sky.
Although there was no time to find a high-altitude channel suitable for the magic airship to sail, she found a suitable wind current layer.
After the ship-borne ballistae was installed, Roy gave an order and nine magic airships took off at the same time. After entering the wind flow layer, they sailed all the way north.
After two days and one night, the nine magic airships led by Roy successfully arrived at the Sheephorn Fjord.
