Monarch of Evernight: Nothing planned here
bsp;After the battleship formation disappeared from the sky, cargo ships and troop carriers slowly took off one after another, slowly forming a formation in the air, and flying into the distance one by one.
There are nearly a hundred aerostats carrying cargo and troops. They fly in groups of ten to the predetermined assembly point.
This fleet is quite long. The first batch took off at noon, and until midnight, the last batch of aerostats were still parked on the landing field. Compared with the unexpected battleship group of Dark Fire, the logistics supply transport boats are much worse in comparison. They are basically civilian boats, and their climbing speed and flight status are not bad.
But this is normal. If the Neutral Ground can pull out a Void Team with elite military ships for logistics, it will not only be the Heavenly King's Mansion that will be unable to sit still.
No matter how organized and organized such a fleet is, it cannot make up for the shortcomings in the performance of a single boat. In a neutral place where pirates are prevalent, it is undoubtedly the biggest fat sheep. I don’t know how many people are ready to take action at the moment, sending the news to all directions and spreading it into every dark corner of the Neutral Land.
Most pirates took stock of the situation and did not dare to act rashly. But the wealth piled in front of you is so huge that there are also a few fierce and desperate people who are ready to make a fortune.
However, they set off under the spotlight and disappeared, never to be seen again.
Qianye and Song Zining were already far behind the transport fleet. This trap was originally prepared for the Heavenly King's Mansion and other forces in the Neutral Land, but only a few pirates got in.
The journey was not without any losses. Three cargo ships were directly destroyed by pirates, and a troop transport ship malfunctioned and crashed next to the battle circle. For a large fleet, such losses can be described as very minor. At the same time, none of the incoming pirates made it out alive. No matter how skilled they are at handling ships, they cannot escape the pursuit of the Empire's new battle patrols.
Some pirates resisted to the end, while many surrendered in desperate circumstances. Over and over again, Dark Fire's already huge fleet added more than a dozen pirate ships and thousands of prisoners. According to the rules of the neutral land, these pirates will be used as cannon fodder and will be the first batch sent to the battlefield. Only those who can survive are truly forgiven.
In the command room, Song Zining and Qianye summoned a group of senior officers from Dark Fire to announce the battle plan.
According to the empire's overall plan, the fleet will first arrive at the predetermined outer space assembly point, where it will first establish contact with the imperial fleet, and then choose the appropriate time to go to the predetermined battlefield for a decisive battle with the Evernight outer space fleet.
In this battle, the Dark Fire Fleet played the role of a surprise attack from the rear. We must first wait for the main force of the frontal Empire fleet to firmly bite the Yongye fleet before the dark fire will appear. Attack from the weak link, or directly attack the rear of the Yongye fleet, or defeat the reinforcements and other high-value troops that Yongye may deploy in the rear. Target.
Such a mission does not sound particularly dangerous, and it is in line with the characteristics of the high-speed fleet of Dark Fire. There is no reason to refuse, and there is no need to refuse.
After the tasks were assigned, the faces of all Dark Fire executives looked much better. When Yong Ye and Dawn fight camp wars, they often affect the neutral camp forces surrounding the battlefield. It is normal for them to join one side voluntarily or be coerced into participating in the war. Most of Dark Fire's senior executives are senior mercenaries and have encountered this situation more than once.
In this kind of war, what they fear most is that they will be betrayed by the imperial military and unknowingly become cannon fodder. Now that the task allocation is based on strength, it seems very reasonable, and they are in a position where they can advance, attack, retreat and defend, so they have nothing to complain about.
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Song Zining asked everyone to return to the battleship.
A moment later, six imperial frigates, as well as several warships of different types, old and new, but barely able to keep up with the speed of the fleet, headed by the battle cruiser, flew towards the predetermined assembly point.
On the bridge, Qianye and Song Zining stood together, looking at the endless void. He suddenly said: "Is this good? Do you want to use that one?"
"Look first and then talk."
Qianye frowned and said in silence for a moment: "At least judging from the entire campaign plan, there is no conspiracy. At least not at this stage."
Song Zining sighed softly and said: "There is no conspiracy now, that is what I am most worried about."
"Let's move forward step by step. It's useless to dream so much. Just solve problems when you encounter them." Qianye's voice was calm.
"Same."
In the depths of the vast void, an extremely large fleet is slowly sailing towards the floating land. The two battle cruisers protruding forward on both wings are particularly eye-catching. In the center of the fleet, as many as six battleships and a war mother ship gathered together, like a city floating in the void, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.
On the battleship in the center, stood a man with a clear face. He seemed to be gentle and quiet, but he had a kind of coercion that looked up to the mountains. This is the right prime minister who holds the power of the empire. It's just that he is usually calm and reserved, with a gentle temperament that is a bit weak. Even when he is angry, he never speaks loudly. It was only today, when people stood on the battleship, that they could faintly feel another side of him that no one knew about.
On the bridge were all the confidants of the Right Prime Minister, and they all held their breaths and silenced themselves at this moment, feeling great pressure.
Finally, the right minister broke the silence. He sighed softly and said to himself: "So this is what it feels like to fight with a sword. Hey! No wonder those generals in the army don't take the people in the court seriously. ”
The people around looked at each other, not understanding what the right minister meant. As far as they know, the Right Prime Minister never speaks lightly, and every word he says must have deep meaning. At that moment, everyone chewed this sentence over and over in their hearts, trying to taste and understand its true meaning.
An old minister relied on himself to follow the right prime minister's family for two generations and said boldly: "Sir, according to the current formation, this battleship will be the first to fight. You are a man of ten thousand gold, how can you Can you take such a risk? If there is any damage, wouldn't it be a big loss for the empire? The veteran thinks it's time to change the formation.
Another person scolded: "You are loyal to your country, how can you be a person who is afraid of life and death? What you said is inappropriate. However, the current formation is indeed not conducive to engaging the enemy. At this moment, the Evernight Fleet will appear no matter when, or should it be replaced It’s better to live in peace.”
This is a much more artistic statement. The former veteran didn’t need to be upset and just waited for his right minister to give instructions.
The two flatterers each have their own emphasis, one is called moderation, the other is foolish and loyal, but their realms are actually about the same.
The right minister finally turned around with a smile on his face. He raised his right hand but said nothing. Everyone knew he was about to make a decision, a very important decision. Before every important decision, he would think over and over again until he was sure that there was nothing wrong with what he thought before speaking out.
The longer the silence lasts, the more important this decision becomes.
This time, the Right Prime Minister remained silent for an especially long time, so long that the smile on his face looked a little distorted. The people around me felt their necks sore from waiting, and the right minister did not speak.
Finally, the right minister's eyes turned on everyone's face and said slowly: "The empire mixed the second and third guard fleets, so although this fleet is called the forward, its actual combat strength has exceeded I have taken over the Chinese army behind and the First Fleet of the Royal Guards. Since the empire has given me the command of the forward, I will take stock of the situation and make changes to the current formation."
Many of the attendants looked happy, but it was not clear whether their joy was for the safety of the Prime Minister or just for their own lives.
The right minister paused and said in a deep voice: "Send the order! The fleet formation changes to assault formation, and this ship moves forward to the front of the entire fleet!"
The old minister was shocked and shouted: "Sir, you must not put yourself in danger!"
The right prime minister raised his hand, stopped everyone from admonishing, and said calmly: "As the commander-in-chief, if I want the three armies to serve their lives, I must be at the forefront. This is the true meaning of the word "forward".
As the order was passed on, the formation of the huge fleet slowly changed, and at the other end of the void, the Evernight Fleet appeared one after another.
Standing in front of the window on the right, the battleships on both sides of the field of vision kept retreating, until finally there was only endless void and the approaching Evernight Fleet.
The Yongye Fleet is slightly inferior in size, but it is still numerous in number, especially the two parallel giant ships, which are even larger and more ferocious than the Imperial battleships. They are obviously two Grand Duke-class ships.
Although the Empire's forward fleet has the advantage, it is also limited. It can be imagined that it will be a battle. However, the right prime minister's face remained as calm as ever, and he just looked ahead quietly. Until the fleets of both sides gradually approached, the right Prime Minister issued a second order: "With this ship as the leader, all attack!"
Everyone was shocked. Even though they won with this strategy, the flagship as the vanguard of the entire fleet was in danger. You must know that there are no top experts on board the ship at this moment, and the fight depends entirely on the fixed firepower of the battleship.
You Xiangxiang knew what everyone was thinking at this moment, and suddenly turned around and said: "Although I am the best at maneuvering in my life, at this moment, I have not set up any plan!"
Without a plan, do you really want to take the lead? All the advisers on the bridge were really panicked. They are all good at attacking political opponents and framing others. But no one can or will do such a thing as taking the lead.
It was too late to object at this moment. The fleets of both sides sprinted at full speed and were within range in the blink of an eye. Looking out of the porthole, I saw fireworks blooming in the Evernight Fleet opposite, and sparks instantly lit up.
Although Spark is beautiful, in the eyes of all the counselors, it is like a death knell. That was the sign of the Yongye battleship firing, and every spark was a main gun firing.
On the empire's side, there were thousands of fiery ribbons flying over the Prime Minister's flagship and flying towards the opposite side. Those are ballistae with different functions, responsible for spreading destruction and death in the Evernight Fleet.
As expected, the flagship that rushed forward attracted the most firepower because of its huge hull. Countless ballistae drew streaks of fire in the void, fell on the flagship, and exploded into dazzling fireballs. . In the blink of an eye, the flagship was bathed in a rain of fire, and even the hull was invisible.
In an instant, the captains of all the empire's warships held their breath and stared at the sea of fire ahead.
The next moment, the flagship jumped out of the sea of fire like a phoenix on fire!
Like an enraged phoenix, it jumped into the formation of the Evernight Fleet, spraying dozens of streams of fire from both sides of the ship, turning several Evernight battleships into fireballs in the blink of an eye.
After silence, a burst of cheers erupted from the bridge of every battleship in the Imperial fleet, and then a captain roared out the command to attack at the top of his lungs. The imperial fleet was like a herd of enraged buffalo, ramming into the Evernight Fleet with an indomitable attitude!
After the initial chaos, the Yongye Fleet quickly reacted. They concentrated their firepower and desperately attacked the flagship where the right minister was located.
The flagship is like a bison leader surrounded by lions, fighting left and right, and its body is covered with scars. On the periphery, a large group of bison were desperately attacking the lions, trying to rescue the first cow.
The battle situation was at a stalemate in chaos.
