Chapter 162 Huaiwu City
As a Donghuang civil engineer who received higher education on Blue Star, Lin Lan naturally only believed half of the historical data in the Red Leaf Naval Academy.
When a war breaks out between two countries, no matter which country it is, the domestic propaganda will definitely regard itself as the righteous side.
If he believed all the unilateral historical data of Orlan, he would be a fool.
Whether it is from the perspective of greedy businessmen and consortiums, or from the perspective of President Orlan who is eager to gain more votes by expanding territory.
He does not believe that Orlan will only build factories and trade goods normally on the territory of the Natlan Empire.
Businessmen and consortiums are eager to use cheap industrial products to earn a large number of luxury goods and specialty resources with research value in the Natlan Empire.
The Orlan government and president hope to send a large number of spies to find out the military strength and secret information of the Natlan Empire to prepare for future wars.
How can the exchanges between countries be simply black and white? Only children would believe that.
But even so, Lin Lan still thinks that the new emperor of the Natlan Empire treated the Orlan people too cruelly and bloodily.
Let alone the open declaration of war, at least those Orlan citizens who really just came to work and immigrate should not be killed.
According to the records of Orlan, by the time the Orlan army arrived at the Natlan Empire, the total number of Orlan citizens who died in the Natlan Empire reached a terrifying number of hundreds of thousands.
These are hundreds of thousands of living people, not hundreds of thousands of livestock.
During the hundred-year war between the two countries, the number of casualties in Orlan alone can be counted in millions.
Lin Lan believes that if he is really a native Orlan, even if he knows what Orlan did before the war, he will still hate the Natlan Empire.
Shaking his head, Lin Lan threw away the involvement between the two countries in his head.
He is just a time traveler from Blue Star, who came here to find his wives from all over the world and return to the port area.
His biggest enemy is only the Sirens, and he is too lazy to delve into the political entanglements between these countries.
Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
It is enough for him to remember this simple point.
The Iron Blood Fleet gradually approached the ancient Natlan city called Huaiwu City, and the surrounding wooden ship fleets finally discovered them and began to turn their main guns to prepare to attack the ship girls.
However, how can these bulky ships that are not even as good as the mass-produced Siren be the opponents of the Iron Blood Ship Girls?
"Boom!" "Boom!!"
As Egil opened fire first, the main ship equipment of other ship girls also poured main gun ammunition into these Natlan fleets.
Under the leadership of Z1, the Z-drive leader, the four Z-drives also continued to fire while throwing torpedoes into the water in groups, dragging waves to deal a heavy blow to these bulky wooden ships of the Natlan fleet.
Through observing the battle situation on the command ship, Lin Lan noticed that these dark brown wooden warships of the Natlan Empire, although they looked made of wood.
But its actual strength is comparable to that of steel, and it is difficult to catch fire.
It seems that the dark brown wood used by the Natlan Empire to make warships is a specialty that the United States of Orlan does not have.
These wooden warships surrounding Huaiwu City were soon sunk by the fierce attack of the Iron Blood Fleet and turned into wreckage floating on the sea.
Lin Lan and others passed through the wreckage of wooden ships, and he also found that there were no real Natlan crew members who fell into the sea on the sea full of wreckage.
"Sure enough, these ships were created by the Siren in this mirror sea, imitating the chess pieces of the Natlan Empire fleet. This is still an illusion after all."
After passing through the wreckage, Lin Lan and others finally boarded the dock of Huaiwu City.
It is called a dock, but it has been basically destroyed by war.
The wooden buildings on the side of the dock were devoured by the flames, and a large number of bodies wearing armor and died in battle fell in all directions on the side of the dock.
"Commander! Stay with me, I will protect you!"
After stepping onto the land, Blücher rushed up and hugged Lin Lan's arm tightly.
"Hehe, if Zeppelin were here, he would be extremely excited."
Egil looked around the ancient city that was about to be completely destroyed, and sneered at the pink-haired heavy cruiser beside him:
"Of course, someone here is probably also excited."
Hearing Egil's words, Lin Lan looked at Ron.
At this time, the always gentle pink-haired elder sister Ron had completely entered the fighting posture.
The corners of her mouth had risen wildly, her eyes flashed with blood-red luster, and her body kept shaking, as if she was very excited about this messy battlefield.
"Hey, Ron's dual personality is really..."
Lin Lan shook his head. He really had to pay more attention to Ron's situation.
Just when everyone boarded the dock, suddenly, there was a loud explosion and a series of gunshots in the city that was set on fire.
But if you want to rush over, you have to face the dense buildings that have been engulfed in flames.
"Leave the flames to me, and use your ship equipment to block the objects falling from above."
To cross the sea of fire, Lin Lan has his own unique way.
Take out a black jade from his waist bag, and under the protection of the ship girls around him, Lin Lan walks to the edge of the sea of fire.
"Retreat."
As he raised his hand holding the black jade, he spoke softly.
The raging sea of fire that could no longer be easily extinguished in front of everyone suddenly seemed to have life, slowly retreating to the sides and making way for a passage.
Moreover, the scorching air waves that everyone felt when standing by the fire also became cooler in an instant as Lin Lan spoke.
The ancient Liaozhou props that the brave can make, the fire-proof jade beads.
The activation effect of this jade bead is to greatly increase the fire element resistance of the user and the people around, and it can also disperse the fire elements within more than ten meters around.
This amazing scene shocked the ship girls around Lin Lan. They never knew that their commander actually had such a skill.
"Commander, can you make more meows with this jade stone later?"
The little profiteer Mingshi saw that the fire-proof jade beads in Lin Lan's hand were so effective that his eyes were straight, and he quietly approached Lin Lan and asked.
"No problem, I'll make a few more of these things for your store as treasures. Time waits for no one, let's go."
It's not difficult to make this fire-proof jade bead. After Lin Lan agreed to Mingshi casually, he and everyone walked towards the road that was originally covered by the sea of fire and led to the city.
Hearing Lin Lan's words, Mingshi smiled happily and followed his iron-blooded companions closely to the city.
"Crack!"
Egil, who was walking in the front, controlled the dragon ship to clear the building debris that blocked the road in front of everyone.
Although the flames were forced back, the smoke and burnt smell of the wooden house were still there.
As the sea of fire dispersed, everyone walked on the streets of Huaiwu City, and Lin Lan kept observing the appearance of the buildings around him that had been burned.
Everything in this city made him feel like he had come to the ancient Donghuang.
In addition, the Natlan Empire has always been famous for its martial arts. Lin Lan felt as if he had traveled back to Blue Star in a trance.
"This place really looks like the style of Donghuang."
He was not surprised to hear the sigh of Blücher beside him.
After all, there were Donghuang-style buildings in his former port area.
The ship girls of the Donghuang camp always hold various activities such as New Year's Eve dinner and fireworks party during the Chinese New Year, inviting all the camps in the port area to participate.
So after Blücher sighed, the iron-blooded ship girls around him also suddenly realized.
No wonder everything here looks so familiar.
"Commander, if we remember correctly, you seem to be from Donghuang? Then when you see the appearance of this city, will you..."
Prince Eugen, who was walking in front of Lin Lan, suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Lan worriedly.
In addition to Eugen, the other ship girls also looked at him with concern.
After all, their commander was walking in a ruined city that was so similar to his hometown.
They were worried that the commander would be sad because of seeing this ancient city devastated by war.
