Before leaving the Slime Kingdom, Yang Yu had already become very familiar with Helot.
The Slime King didn't want to tell Yang Yu what kind of knowledge they had obtained from those crystals. On the contrary, Helote kept checking with Yang Yu what he knew.
Helot is a famous anthropologist in the Slime Kingdom.
Because the royal slimes basically have a photographic memory, Helot knows almost all the human knowledge that slimes possess.
The area of knowledge he focused on was various vehicles.
Helot firmly believed that only by creating props that could move quickly could their slimes get rid of the disadvantage of slow movement.
Having efficient means of transportation is also a prerequisite for the slime civilization to move to the next level.
However, Helot had a lot of knowledge, but he had no place to put it to good use.
According to the course of human history, slime needs a steam engine to enter the industrial revolution.
Unfortunately, water in the Slime Kingdom is extremely precious and is basically used to irrigate the four-leaf clovers, leaving him no chance to boil water.
Yang Yu couldn't help but sigh that the slime was really honest. Although it knew a lot of knowledge that was beyond its time, it still followed the procedures and moved forward step by step along the path that humans had taken in the past.
Are you afraid that there are gaps in your past knowledge, which will result in you being unable to solve similar problems in the future
From this point of view, Slime is really cautious.
In short, after knowing that Helot was an expert in vehicles, Yang Yu discussed with him the matter of speeding up the warship.
Helot did not disappoint Yang Yu and gave several plans.
Yang Yu chose a solution that could be achieved and replaced by magic.
This is the solution they are currently using - adding thrusters.
Since they realized that the [Blood Count] would prevent them from landing on the island, they naturally had to come up with some "interesting" things in order to advance all the way.
As the saying goes, there is no martial arts that cannot be broken by speed. With the help of four jet tubes, the speed of the warship was half faster than the maximum speed. The stones thrown by the hobbits were all absorbed by the exhaust gas of the warship.
Hearing the distant command, the harpy dived down, trying to drop rocks nearby.
But once they get too close, they will be affected by the airflow around the warship and blown to the sides, and they will not be able to get close to the high-speed warship at all.
In desperation, the harpy in front could only drop the stones by feeling, trying to hit the warship with the free-falling stones.
This method naturally had a low hit rate, and only a few stones hit Yang Yu and his warship.
Luo Luosi turned her attention back to operating the warship. Her magic power spread from the front of the warship to the entire body of the warship. After seeing that there was nothing unusual about the warship, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Yang Yu:
"At this speed, we will get there much faster. If we hit something in front, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die."
"Don't underestimate the quality of this warship. And I don't think they have the time to set a trap. They want to destroy our warship just to prevent us from escaping. If we really hit something, I also have a way to get out." Yang Yu said confidently.
"You said so, so I don't have to drive carefully anymore."
Since Yang Yu said so, Lolo simply gave up and withdrew all his magic power, steadily controlling the rudder to make the boat move forward in a straight line.
The warship was speeding, and the fog around it showed no sign of dissipating. Yang Yu glanced at the time.
At this time in the past, the first rays of morning sunlight would have spread across the sea, but now it is all white fog that makes it impossible to see clearly.
Perhaps, this is one of the Blood Count's countermeasures against the crusade.
The thick fog blocks the sunlight from penetrating. As long as they are not under the sunlight, the vampires should still be able to maintain their original abilities.
I don't know if the Blood Earl has any other way to maintain his combat effectiveness besides this method.
You will only know everything after meeting the [Blood Count].
Crossing the vast fog, Yang Yu and his warship actually hit something.
With a loud bang, Yang Yu and his crew's warships smashed the barrier protecting the Blood Earl's stronghold. The colorful fragments flipped over and turned into bits of magic power that dissipated.
A huge noise echoed on the sea, loudly announcing the arrival of Yang Yu and his team.
The fog in the barrier suddenly decreased, and Yang Yu and his companions could finally see the scenery in the distance clearly, and no more rocks fell on their heads.
The harpies did not follow all the way.
After sailing for a while, an island with a towering castle finally appeared in front of Yang Yu and his friends.
The moment has finally arrived.
Perhaps because it was surrounded by layers of fog, although the inside of the barrier was bright, there was not a trace of sunlight.
Behind the warship, the four jet tubes gradually disappeared, and the magic scroll that had exhausted its magic power gradually lost its light and turned into a piece of white paper. It was soaked by the sea water splashed by the sudden fall of the hull, and the warship returned to its normal speed.
The barrier was broken, and the bow was damaged but it was not serious and would not affect the voyage.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the island, Yang Yu stood on the deck and began a mobilization meeting. There was actually not much to say, as they were all family members, Yang Yu omitted some polite words and went straight to the point.
The tactical arrangement this time is very simple. After arriving at the island, use the power of slime to clear all blocking enemies.
Of course, the enemy will not simply sit there and wait to die, and will definitely come up with various ways to deal with it.
Everyone here has rich combat experience, and Yang Yu believes that they will be able to demonstrate their subjective initiative.
After the mobilization, Iyas climbed up the mast to scout the surroundings, Yang Yu and Lang Yi uncorked the barrels of slimes one by one, while Bai Jin silently prepared magic.
The first magic Bai Jin performed after arriving here was weather magic. Yang Yu said that the date for the raid had been set, but he had no way of confirming the weather on that day. If the weather was other than sunny, Bai Jin would use magic to make the weather sunny.
Although there is a barrier protecting this place, the stability of the barrier has been affected to a certain extent because the warship forcibly broke through the barrier. It's worth a try.
The others were preparing in their own ways, and as soon as the enemy appeared, they would take action immediately.
But to everyone's surprise, they didn't see a single person until the warship docked.
Even when they reached the shore and landed on the island, they did not hear any sound except the sound of the sea water hitting the shore. The surroundings were terribly quiet, as if no one was there, giving people the illusion that [Blood Earl] was deserted.
However, the Blood Count did not run away.
A bat flew out from the forest on the coast and transformed into the appearance of the Blood Count. He walked towards Yang Yu with steady steps and slowly said:
"Welcome to you again. Please forgive my subordinates for their rudeness last night."
