Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 198 Upgrading the Black Pearl
Jack did not comment on Aegwynn's talent, which was outstanding in the history of Azeroth.

He was more concerned about how to attack Suramar. Siege warfare was the most brutal in war, consuming a lot of resources and manpower.

Suramar was different from Eldre'Thalas. Eldre'Thalas's defenses were destroyed by Tortheldrin himself, so they could only retreat to the west. Even so, the defense of the west could only rely on the corrupted treemen and elf ghosts. All the mages were either staying in the library or restricting Imor'tar.

Suramar has a complete defense system. Not only does Elisande have many mages under her, but she also has the Eye of Aman'thul. This pillar of creation has the power to control time. Once it is used during a siege, it is easy to annihilate the entire army.

So, a solution must be found.

The best solution is to bring in more allies.

Jack whispered to Farondis, "Pull up the blue dragon, then we have a chance of winning."

Farondis raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he didn't know why Jack said that, there must be a reason. Jack was not good at other things, but he had a lot of tricks.

So, he came to the Dragon General and said, "General, the Withered Mage incident is not an isolated case. If we don't solve the problem from the root, the Withered Mage incident will happen again."

When the Dragon General heard this, he immediately knew what he meant.

"I'm sorry, but we don't have the ability to take care of other things right now."

Farondis looked at Jack, who came over speechlessly. You can't even do this, you're a prince!
"We don't need Blue Dragon to send troops. We just need to send a representative to help us contact some helpers."

Jack's face could not be denied, so the Dragon General asked, "Captain Jack, what do you need us to do?"

"Your Excellency, you should know that the Eye of Aman'Thul is in Elisande's hands. If we want to attack Suramar next, we must defeat Elisande. So, I hope the blue dragon can help us contact the bronze dragon. Only they know the time best."

The dragon general looked at Jack in astonishment, "You want to contact the bronze dragon?"

"That's right!"

Jack nodded.

A puzzled look flashed across the face of the Dragon General. "I can help you make the contact, but I don't know if it will succeed."

"Just help us make the contact. I think the bronze dragon will be very interested in this."

"All right!"

After dealing with the Blue Dragon, Jack and Farondis immediately sorted out the forces that could be contacted and the troops that were available to participate in the battle.

"The Deep Sea Giants can probably send out about ten people, the Withered still have more than a hundred, the Ailes still have hundreds of constructs, and Faronaar still has more than two hundred Faldorei. All the mages of Nar'thalas can be dispatched, but we need a supply of mana."

Jack nodded. "My crew now has seventy-six people, plus the Black Pearl's artillery, we can take on the task of suppressing the enemy at sea. But our numbers are still a little short, and we need to get some more help."

Farondis thought for a moment and said, "There are still some rebels outside Suramar. Perhaps we can bring them here as well. But if we do that, the spoils of Suramar may not be so easy to take."

"Pull it here first. We haven't even got Suramar yet. We can talk about the spoils later." "Okay!"

Farondis said: "I will help Ailes and the others repair the magic network first, and then take them to Nar'thalas."

"I want to go to the Oceanus Caves and modify the ship first. If there is enough time, I will upgrade the cannons and shells."

"That's definitely enough time, and we still have to wait for news from the Bronze Dragon!"

After the two men had made their decision, Jack immediately took his crew, said goodbye to the Dragon General, and headed for the Oceanus Cave.

Frog watched Jack come to him again and walked into the sea without even saying hello. He was afraid that Jack would be angry to death, so he decided to hide first.

Jack didn't care at all and waved to Frog, "Thank you, my friend!"

The crew members all laughed. They all knew the relationship between Jack and Frog, and they privately expressed their admiration for Jack's shamelessness.

The Black Pearl entered the sea cave, and Jack led the goblins to study the transformation plan. The space inside the ship is limited, and all the space must be used as much as possible. The bottom cabin will be divided into several parts, from the bow to the stern, they are the heavy armor cabin, the storage cabin, and the power cabin.

The heavy armored compartment occupies the position of the bow, which is specially used to install metal plates to enhance the armor of the bow. Jack had previously thought of using Titanium to strengthen the armor, but he was a little reluctant to use Titanium, so he thought of using metal plates to enhance the defense of the bow.

If Jack hadn't lacked the technology to weld the entire ship, he would have wanted to find a metal ship. But using magic welding also required technical reserves.

Of course, pouring the whole thing is also possible, but it may be possible to make a small boat, but it is not feasible to make a large boat.

The power cabin is where the magic furnace is placed. Jack first spread the siphon net all over the cabin, then took out most of the mithril reserves, used Titan iron to strengthen it, and made a magic furnace. He fixed the magic furnace on the deck, connected it to the charging orb, and engraved the magic pattern on it to complete the entire magic circuit.

This was a complicated project and it took half a month to complete.

Jack evacuated everyone, then started Hex 1 to activate the magic furnace.

The fire element magic material in the magic furnace moved quickly, and soon the whole furnace started to move. This made Jack feel relieved. This was the first time he designed a magic furnace by himself. If he failed, it would delay things.

Fortunately, it succeeded!

After shutting down the furnace, Jack called together the engineers and began to transform the Black Pearl as a whole.

The hull itself was unchanged, after all, there were a lot of runes engraved on it, and if those runes were moved, they would become ineffective. But the interior of the ship had to be changed, and the subordinates changed the three-story cabin in the bow to a two-story one. This change was for the ogres and minotaurs, so that they no longer had to crouch down and squeeze into the cabin.

The other areas still have three floors, but the part connected to the bow has become a two-way staircase, connecting the two parts, allowing the stern to reinforce the bow at any time.

The captain's room was moved to the stern, the control platform was raised, and the length of the connecting rod between the rudder and the rudder fan was increased. At the same time, the blades of the rudder fan were increased, and after using magic power, larger blades could be driven.

The strength of the fan blades must also be strengthened. Once the fan blades are destroyed, the Black Pearl will lose power. In order to avoid this situation, Jack added two thick magic thrusters to the stern to prepare for emergencies.
