Chapter 291 Gray War Horse

Chapter 291 Gray War Horse
The next day.

Thousands of barrels of gunpowder were loaded onto ships.

War means huge consumption, and gold coins are constantly filling the bottomless pit.

Two second-level ships, carrying 4,000 people.

Ten third-level ships, carrying eight thousand people.

Forty fourth-level ships, carrying twelve thousand people.

The Northern Fleet is considered a leader in the Stuart Kingdom Navy. The other half is stationed in the colonies, and the other half is in the Chaos City on the northern front.

Just after noon, the ships hoisted their sails and weighed anchor, and 24,000 soldiers boarded the ships one after another. Jiang He saw Earl of Rock and Roland. In addition, there was a sword-wielding elder from the De York family, as well as two fleet vice admirals and four fleet major generals.

The Stuart Kingdom has only one naval commander, who is also the king himself, and two admirals, one of whom is the commander-in-chief of the kingdom's fleet. This golden strongman is not from a noble family and has maintained neutrality for decades, never interfering in the political affairs of the royal capital.

The other is the Duke of York, whose position is deputy commander, but in the chaotic corridor area, the Northern Fleet is tantamount to his private property.

Under these two golden masters, general-level officers are either indispensable technicians or talented people who can command like an art, but in most cases, they are still filled by great knights.

A white seagull landed on the bow of the St. Lilith.

Jiang He received instructions from the flagship. The fleet will then enter the high-speed ocean currents of the Storm Sea to quickly reach the designated location. It will only take seven days to travel thousands of miles. The instructions mentioned that ships entering the high-speed ocean currents for the first time should not fall behind for too long. If they are not familiar with the situation, they can apply for technical support from the flagship.

"Leave it to me." Lilith took charge. "It's just a high-speed current. It's nothing."

"I hope so." Jiang He said.

Before setting sail, the fleet's finance allocated 5000 gold coins of military expenditure to the fourth-level ship Saint Lilith, which included allowances, pensions and military supplies. The amount of military expenditure was actually not small, but it was still a large gap for normal ships.

The Northern Fleet's usual plan is to plunder.

As long as the ships of other countries, merchant ships at sea, and various pirate ships are not the ones in the chaotic corridor, they can be attacked at will, and only 50% of them need to be handed over afterwards. In theory, no one would know if hundreds of people died in the vast ocean, at least there is no obvious evidence.

However, due to the increasingly tense relationship between the Dukedom and the royal family recently, the Duke ordered that the Stuart merchant ships should not be harassed as much as possible. After the war began, D'York still needed the support of nobles from all over the country.

In the afternoon.

The huge fleet cluster broke through the waves, leaving dozens of wave marks on the blue sea. The bows of the two leading flagships cut through the sea like sharp blades, and the splashing white foam sparkled densely in the sun, like tiny silver beads rolling down on both sides.

The third-level destroyers and fourth-level frigates were lined up one after another in a neat formation. The silhouettes of the fleet were reflected on the rippling sea, like a giant flowing puzzle.

Jiang He lay on a recliner carved out of the bow, the sea breeze blowing across his cheeks, the familiar salty smell rushing into his nostrils. He glanced at the panel and found that he was only 1 point away from a complete breakthrough in the silver boundary in terms of spirit and 2 points away from agility.

"What do you think."

Jiang He turned his head to look at the little girl in white dress who was squeezed on a recliner next to him. Maybe because she often stayed on his neck, Zhuang Ya was a little clingy.

"Eat another silver apple." Zhuang Ya answered crisply. She remembered that the other party said that the golden apple tasted excellent.

"Genius, I won't ask next time."

Jiang He directly took out the excellent-grade prophecy scroll he obtained after becoming the image of the Void Card.

[Make a wish in your heart, repeat it over and over, and tear it off with force]
"The method is simple and crude."

Jiang He hopes to obtain a secret treasure of the sea similar to the golden apple, but such props that can directly improve attributes are very rare. Otherwise, he would be more inclined to feed the perfect quality golden apple to the Changhen Dragon Spear.

The scroll is torn.

Jiang He's view suddenly widened, and across the vast sea, a port city suddenly appeared in front of him. He saw dozens of warships anchored in the port, and other warships were coming from other places.

The view did not stop zooming in. In the underground of the inner city of the port city, a maze-like treasure house emerged, with guns, ammunition, swords, armor, all kinds of treasures, and mountains of gold coins.

On top of the hill of gold coins, a dying dragon was lying dormant. It looked majestic, but bloated. Cloaked men lined up to offer it meat, as if they were raising cats and dogs in captivity. There were blood-like marks on their cloaks.

"Caribbean Harbor, underground treasure house."

"A captive adolescent wind dragon, Silver Elite strength."

"The Holy Blood Church is a mysterious organization dedicated to collecting various bloodlines, with traces spread across many countries."

Jiang He got the result of the prophecy. The Changhen Dragon Spear was transformed from the nature of a dragon, and the dragon clan had a rule of usurping each other's power. He could get feedback from the spear by hunting the wind-attributed dragon in the prophecy, thereby gaining an increase in speed and spirit, meeting the numerical standard for promotion to silver.

But Port Caribibu is the base camp of the Wyatt family. Even if the prophecy scroll selects the most suitable option, it depends on the outcome of this war.

"Got to find something to do."

Jiang He glanced at Zhuang Ya who was about to fall asleep next to him. He was the absolute main force of the team. Now was not a time of decline, so there was no such thing as giving up.

"There are two paths: Soul Armor and Warrior."

Jiang He fell into deep thought. He had the idea of ​​holding a ceremony, but it would take at least a year or even longer to deduce the alchemical secret recipe from scratch. After all, the value of this ceremony could allow the extraordinary people in the silkworm world to advance to a higher level.

As for the warrior, his Withering and Flourishing Heart Sutra did not break through the grandmaster's description at all. The royal palace was under the control of the grandmaster, so of course it was impossible for them to make things difficult for themselves, and all their unique skills were deleted.

"So I have to buy a book on Knight's Breathing."

Jiang He got down from the recliner, bent over and picked up Zhuang Ya, sent her to the captain's room to sleep, and then called Wuhe who was patrolling around.

"Ha ha ha, boss, what's going on?"

Wuhe flew onto his shoulder. This was his exclusive airport.

Jiang He fed the other party a piece of wild beast entrails and said, "I plan to buy a book about knight's breathing method related to speed. Does anyone have any good recommendations?"

The intelligence of the animal team is the responsibility of the intelligence officer.

Wuhe thought for a moment and replied, "Boss, I don't know the details yet, but in the Chaos Corridor, there are two large families whose knights' true forms are related to speed. One is the Snow family, whose true form is a warhorse, with a black horse as its symbol. This generation's 'Dark Horse' is a vice admiral in the navy and is currently in the fleet. As for the other one, I don't recommend it, because that family is related to the Duke's eldest son by marriage."

Since he participated in the Glorious Duel on behalf of Browne, the youngest son of the Duke, such an obvious act of taking sides basically ended the possibility of cooperating with the eldest son's camp.

"Then try the Snow family."

Jiang He wrote a letter to Wu He, who sent one of the thirty members of the Simple Bird Corps to deliver the letter. But within a quarter of an hour, a reply came from the Black Horse.

Jiang He opened it and looked through it, his face suddenly changed.

"Yes, but it requires marriage."

Knight's breathing method, as the fundamental path of practice, has always been the weight of family inheritance and is basically not passed on to outsiders. However, the new Baron Rhine is a bit special. He is young and powerful, owns a frigate of his own, and controls a baronial territory waiting to be developed. With all these factors combined, he is no less than a fat sheep. All the Black Horse family needs to pay is the marriage of a direct member.

Wuhe said, "Boss, it would be a big loss to sell it to the Dark Horse Vice Admiral. The chance of a formal marriage is rare. My suggestion is to sell it to the Duke's family or the royal family. A breathing method that probably has no potential to break through to gold is not worth it."

Jiang He nodded slightly. This time he wrote to Roland, asking if he had any Great Knight-level breathing techniques for sale. This guy had been in the colonies, the capital, and the chaotic corridors. Before he got the White Rose Breathing Technique from the Deyok family, he must have had his own breathing technique.

Two hours later, the reply arrived.

[Yes, but I suggest you don’t learn it. This Iron Guard Breathing Technique is tainted with the filthiness of the royal family. It can corrupt a person’s soul and make them extremely ignorant…]
Roland wrote a long and eloquent article, which seemed to have brought back memories, and he scolded all the royal family members.

[…Finally, I want to say that no matter how terrible it was, it accompanied me for quite a while. Although the memories are painful, the price of 90,000 gold coins is the same. I know you can’t take it out for now, so you can owe it to me first.]
When Wuhe finished reading the entire letter in a daze, he realized that he only needed to read the ending, but it was too late.

"This guy is such a waste of my time."

"Ninety thousand gold coins of debt? Compared to Lilith, it's nothing."

Jiang He didn't feel too much pressure. He sent another message to Lieutenant General Dark Horse. This time, his request was to exchange breathing methods. He killed Silver Sword Rosad and joined the Duke's camp in order to use this platform to enhance his strength.

In the afternoon, the bird returned to the St. Lilith and brought back the letter.

"Boss, Lieutenant General Dark Horse refused to exchange the family's main breathing method, but is willing to give out the Gray Horse breathing method." Wuhe reported.

The Dark Horse Breathing Method excels at speed, but also takes other aspects into consideration. It is quite comprehensive and complete. Most importantly, it contains the deduction of the level of Titled Knight.

In comparison, the Gray Horse Breathing Method is more extreme, focusing only on speed. It is usually the practice relied upon by branch bloodlines and family guards, like a consumable like a sharp sword.

"can."

Jiang He agreed to the deal. Extremes mean power, but also danger, which does not conform to the preferences of some nobles. He does not care about it. The breathing method is mainly used to cultivate the true form.

As the quartermaster, Wu He was fully responsible for the exchange. The Iron Guard Breathing Technique could make the knights tougher and stronger, and had a good market among the nobles. The source of this technique was that the royal family was the largest noble family in the kingdom.

……

At dusk, the sea was dyed into a gorgeous picture by the afterglow. On the sparkling sea, golden fragments of light jumped and flickered, one after another. Each ripple carried the residual warmth of the setting sun. The hulls of the ships were bathed in the sunset, as if they were coated with a layer of lacquered copper.

Bow of the St. Lilith.

Jiang He got a scroll of parchment, which recorded the Gray Horse Breathing Method, which could be practiced to the peak of the Great Knight.

Hundreds of human body movement pictures appear on paper, and each movement requires coordination with a peculiar breathing rhythm. From the perspective of alchemical mysticism, this is a summary and imitation of the rules.

"Not that difficult." Jiang He thought to himself. He had the 100% comprehension enhancement of his Dominant Blood Body, and he himself was not an extraordinary novice, so it was not difficult for him to get started.

Wuhe was fascinated by what he saw. He was interested in all the techniques that could help him escape, even to the point of obsession.

After browsing, Jiang He began to work on the synchronization of body and will, that is, shaping the true form of the knight. The most difficult part of this link is how to give birth to the silver will, which he can skip directly.

A black rose flintlock appeared in his hand, and Jiang He kept shooting at himself, causing pain in his soul. He used his energy and self-control to command his body to respond to the pain, and gusts of strong wind gradually rose.

As the pain of the body and soul slowly merged, Jiang He found his own unique frequency. Normally, damage to the soul is difficult to repair, but this is not a problem in the face of the long-burning embers.

A gray warhorse several meters tall gradually solidified.

The first stage of the Knight's true form: blessing.

The second stage of the Knight's true form: use.

The third stage of the knight's true form: sublimation.

Jiang He recalled that when Roland first came to the Prison of Disaster, his slashing power increased significantly after he received the blessing of the White Rose's true form. As for the ability that the White Rose sublimated in the third stage, it was probably also related to the slashing power.

The gray warhorse brought down the gray mist.

Jiang He took a step forward and his speed increased by more than 20%.

Overlord Armor activated - all-round stats increased by 60%.

Wild Hunter Construct Armor Nano-Coating - Increases speed by 30%.

Mobius Knight's blood shadow merges with himself - increasing all aspects by 40%.

Finally, the spiral force stabilizing technique is activated.

boom!
A white passage was left on the Saint Lilith, running from front to back. An instant later, strong winds swept toward both sides, creating waves on the sea.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang He arrived at the stern.

"My speed is still inferior to that of the old gentleman who specializes in speed, but it is not far behind."

Jiang He thought about it and activated the double spell of Zhenshan. This technique required control, so it was difficult to stack infinitely. It was easy to use a spell like Fireball that did not require much technical skills thousands of times, but twice was already the limit for the Overlord Armor.

As the Mountain Guardian was activated, the gray warhorse trembled violently and the silver will was shaken, but its unyielding nature prevented collapse.

At a certain moment, the gray warhorse's four legs suddenly doubled, becoming an eight-legged warhorse, and the total speed boost was increased to 40%. When the crystal solidification technology was activated, the gray warhorse immediately came to life.

Jiang He jumped on the horse and found that his speed perfectly matched that of the gray warhorse. The knight's true form could unleash his true power.

This time, he returned to the bow at a faster speed.

"At full power, if I can obtain a silver body, I should be slightly faster than the old gentleman. I was completely unable to react to this level of speed at the time."

Before Jiang He could continue to study, Ah Da, the head chef, came out of the cabin with the other fierce chefs. With supplies from the portable temple, the dinner was very sumptuous.
