Doomsday, starting from a generation of masters

Chapter 196 The woman in red robe delivers a letter

Lynn called Ronald and accompanied him to inspect his shipyard and fleet,

The location of the shipyard is on the north side of Storm's End, closer to the King's Road,
At this time, the shipyard was no longer what it looked like a small workshop a year ago. With a large amount of gold coins invested, it was already a large-scale shipyard.

Every day, many horse-drawn carts are loaded with timber and transported into the shipyard. There are already several construction lines inside, and there are still a few used for repairing merchant ships, which are expensive.

There are more than 200 skilled workers alone, and there are even more helpers.

Eugene, the slave in charge of the shipyard, knelt in front of Lynn and introduced the results of this period,
"Master, we have built more than thirty longships and twelve galleys. Three ocean-going galleons, and two more are under construction, and one of them will be launched in less than a month!"

Eugene seemed quite complacent when he said this,
"Come on Eugene! Don't rush to be complacent. Tell me about the ships."

"Yes Master!"

Eugene is indeed an expert in shipbuilding. He knows all kinds of ships, including long ships for offshore landing, galleys, and ocean-going galleons. He gave Lynn a detailed introduction to each type of ship.

The first is the simplest long boat,

This is a small paddleboat, primarily used by ironmen.They are long, narrow and light, with an extremely shallow draft and built for optimum speed.The shallow draft allows the longship to sail in water as deep as one meter, which ensures that the ship can land on any shoal.The light weight allows it to be lifted and transferred on land like a kayak in real life. Sometimes, in order to plunder inland cities, the ironmen often walk with long boats after landing on the seashore, and walk to the river. The edge is dropped so they can loot cities along the river!
The disadvantage of this kind of ship is also obvious, that is, it does not have any ability to resist ocean waves and store supplies, and can only be used for offshore landing operations.

Then there is the galley, which is the most common type of ship. It has long oars and sails. The oars can keep it more flexible and ignore the wind direction. The large hull and sails ensure its navigation in the ocean. Ability, the bow or stern is equipped with siege weapons such as ballistas and trebuchets.These advantages make it the main force of the fleets of Westeros, shuttling around the coastline of the Seven Kingdoms.

There are also disadvantages, that is, it sacrifices a deck for opening holes to place oars, and at the same time requires a lot of oarsmen, so it needs to be docked frequently for supplies. At the same time, because the seal is not strict, the quality of life of the crew is not high.

The last is the ocean-going galleon, which is the largest ship, usually reaching a length of more than 60 meters and a width of nearly 20 meters!It can also drive smoothly in the deep sea, and there is enough space to store supplies for long-term transoceanic voyage operations.It can accommodate hundreds of soldiers and is equipped with various weapons. Whether it is jumping around the string or ramming against a solid hull, it can crush ordinary galley warships.

The disadvantage is that it is not so flexible and expensive!Cersei emptied King's Landing and postponed the Iron Bank's arrears, but only built ten ships.

This time, the Admiralty of the Navy, who had escaped to become a pirate, was leading such a warship.

After listening to Eugene's introduction, Lynn calculated in his mind,
If the fleet from King's Landing is captured, the strength of the Storm's End fleet can be doubled in an instant, and a lot of gold coins and two years of construction time can be saved!
In an instant, Lynn's eyes lit up!

"My lovely fleet! Come here quickly!"

"By the way!" Lynn turned to look at Chief Ronald, "Where's my navy crew! How's the training going?"

Ronald replied with a helpless expression: "My lord, we never lack excellent sailors in Stormlands. They have fought against the wind and waves of Shipwreck Bay since they were young. They are the bravest sailors in the Seven Kingdoms. With a little training, they will become a powerful sailor." navy."

"It's just that the candidate for the commander has not yet been decided, and the commander in name has always been you!"

"Really?" Lynn scratched his head and thought for a while, as if Ronald had reported this matter to him, but the so-called fleet at that time only had two or three small boats, and he didn't take it to heart at all!
The main reason why he formed the navy was to fight pirates and protect the shipping lanes. As for the direct battle between the large fleets, of course there is no problem with him, but he cannot always stay in the fleet, so the choice of commander It has to be decided ASAP!

"Talent! There is still a shortage of talent!" Lin En thought for a long time, and there was really no suitable candidate around him. Commanding a fleet is different from ordinary battles, and requires solid sailing experience. Naval battle experience is definitely not like the cavalry he leads. Just rush over and it's over!

If there is really no other way, we can only finish this naval battle first.

"Notify all ships to repair for seven days, and I will take them out after seven days!"

……

After inspecting the shipyard, Lynn returned to Storm's End, and Missandei greeted her as soon as she entered the door.

"Master, there is a strange raven flying outside the castle. It won't come in, and it won't fly away. It just keeps singing. Could someone shoot it down?"

"Is it so strange?" Lynn frowned, "Take me to see!

Missandei nodded to lead the way, and after a while, she led him to a city wall, and saw a brightly colored red raven hovering in the mid-air outside,

After seeing Lynn, he suddenly adjusted his posture and swooped down towards him!
"Assassination?"

Missandei was shocked!He opened his arms and stepped in front of Lynn.

How could Lin En allow this to happen? He stretched out his big hand to wrap around her slender waist, turned around in a blink of an eye, and turned her behind.

Missandei is as powerless as a sheep in his hands, no matter how anxious her eyes are, she can't change her posture!

Seeing that the red raven was about to hit Lin En, it suddenly ignited with a "Boom!"!

A mass of raging flames danced in front of Lin En. He opened his eyes wide and looked at it with some surprise in his eyes!

From Missandei's eyes, this flame was a strange flame burning in mid-air, but in Lynn's eyes, he saw a different scene.

This is a message from the red robe witch to him,

He had left this glamorous witch behind since King's Landing, and wanted to persuade himself to serve Stannis with her?There is a hole in the head!
To be honest, ever since King's Landing came back from the parade, he has always been full of distrust of these religious people, and he didn't want to talk to her at all.

Unexpectedly, a piece of information was sent to myself suddenly,
