The bleak sunlight shone on the deck of these broken battleships returning to Port Antolos with the waves. Fleet Admiral Merendy glanced at the entrance completely blocked by wreckage and hesitated,
He said to his son Myronlis behind him, "Order the fleet to turn left! There is a yellow mudflat in the concave area of the left wing of the island, because it is used as a staging place for smuggling ships all the year round, and that place is very secret. Even the navy on the island does not know this, let alone the enemy who is not very clear about the port, I believe there can be a place for the fleet to dock!"
"Yes, father!" This time, Myronlis nodded unexpectedly without making any rebuttal, not even a trace of hesitation, watching his son, Admiral Merendy, who walked silently to the stern command post. The pupils in the eyes flashed coldly.
Compared with the previous rebelliousness, his son now seems to have a look that a naval officer should have. After the baptism of blood and fire last night, his own son, who was previously still proud and complacent, is a The feeling of growing up overnight, the tragic scenes of naval battles seem to linger in everyone’s minds. That battle must have shattered this guy’s pride and dreams, right?
Melendy’s mouth showed a wry smile involuntarily. As a father, I don’t want to show my wisdom and strength as much as possible in front of his son, but as an admiral of the empire, let the younger generation know the true definition of the navy. ,
is not only the glitz full of victory and glory, but also the hard fight between iron and blood, the collision of faith and belief, and the courage to make choices at critical moments are the more important things on the surface, the original self. When making a request for a resolute pursuit to the Admiral of the Navy, is it not the same with the consciousness of victory or death, victory and defeat, but just a single thought, any carelessness may cause the fleet to be irreparably destroyed. .
In the tense port of Antoros, when it was discovered that the incoming fleet was an imperial warship, the alarm bell in the port stopped. The Dunkers, who were clearing the ruins of the port, raised their heads but hesitated. Watching the distant fleet suddenly stop on the sea
Antoros Defense Fleet Admiral Fei Wu, looking excitedly standing on a broken wall in the harbor, the sun above his head shone down, dragging a long shadow on the broken wall
He has received a report from the port. Judging from the fleet flag hung on the battleship, it is very likely that the arrival is one of the main fleets, the Merundi Patrol Fleet, which made his heart beaten. It burns up again,
As several main fleets that the Imperial Navy is proud of, Lord Merendy’s fleet ranks third among the main forces of the Imperial Navy, second only to the Borodi fleet on the border of the North Sea and the **** offshore center of the Empire. There is no Antoka fleet in Toka. Such a powerful fleet is enough to ensure that the Port of Antoros will not be subjected to that kind of terrible attack before it is repaired.
But he soon discovered that the black spots of warships that can be seen on the sea are just a dozen ships when they are full.
"Is this still Lord Malendy’s fleet? One, two..."Admiral Feiwu stood still, bloodshot and shocked eyes, constantly sweeping the sea, searching hard. The shadow outside the fleet,
It’s a pity that he was disappointed. There were no more shadows of other warships on the empty sea. Even if they could be seen, most of them looked like eggplants beaten by frost. The sides of the hòu real warship were full of pits and cracks. Holes and fragments, the masts swayed from side to side, and a large piece of sail was cut off. On several battleships, sailors could be seen pouring water out. I don’t know how they got here.
The Merundi Fleet, known as one of the main forces of the empire, has only 16 ships this time, which is less than half of the estimated number of warships
"Is it possible that even Lord Malendy’s fleet failed? A deep sense of frustration and hesitation permeated the mind of the admiral who dreamed of entering the Imperial fleet. At this moment, he was lucky. No luck, although as the admiral of a local fleet, he is not as good as the empire’s main fleet in terms of body weight, title and reputation, but at least one thing is not bad, that is, there is no need to go to the ocean to fight, and there is no need to complete the film because of failure. Swallowed by the sea
"What, did you say that Malendy’s fleet is coming?"
In the Governor’s Mansion on the island, Luo Ai Lei, the undersecretary of the Empire’s coastal defense, who had just been helped back to his room by the attendants, felt like he was wounded the moment he received the news of the arrival of the Merundi fleet. , At a speed beyond the reach of the attendants, ran to the carriage that he had stopped at the door and had not left
"Hurry up, go to the port!"
Luo Ailey jumped into the carriage very disregarding his body weight. His ship also crashed the rudder due to the chaotic steering of the wing ship in that raid. Now he can only be stranded in this solitary place. On Antoros Island overseas, although the scenery here is beautiful, the sea and the sky are the same, you can enjoy the magnificent sunset and the moon when you open the window. In order to please this big man who was frightened at the port, Governor Gilifi even let his favorite mistress Come to accompany him, but what the Marquis de Roailly wants to do most is to leave this dilapidated place like a natural disaster immediately,
is terrible. When I think of the chaos of explosions everywhere, the chaotic scene of people running around, the deputy chief of coastal defense felt his calf cramps, how unfortunate he was, and how lucky he was. Luck,
Unfortunately, a person who is so delicate and knows to avoid danger, how could he be in this wrong place at the wrong time? Fortunately, just look at the poor local governor who is still suffering.
The poor guy stood at a distance of less than half a metre from him. The exploded fragments of wood that burst out went around him, piercing the Governor’s always tall belly, and he was only covered in ashes. That's it, it's unbelievable luck, if that shard hits himself. . . . . Luo Ai Lei did not dare to think about it. He was 41 years old, but he was not married. There are a lot of illegitimate children.
"No matter how good things are, they need life to enjoy"
This is the words of the old Marquis Luo Ailey, who was surrounded by more than 20 gorgeous women at his sixteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, personally taught to his son, this has also become the Deputy Chief of the Ministry of Coast Defence Rules of life
"Stop, your carriage has been requisitioned, we need to use it to transport the wounded." A team of disheveled and tired sailors coming from the tidal flat stopped his carriage
"Asshole, this is the carriage of Lord Luo Ai Lei, Deputy Chief of the Ministry of Coast Defence! Even your governor, in front of Lord Luo Ai Lei, you can only nod your head and bow." The coachman shouted furiously, making the dozen or so people. A hint of hesitation flashed across the sailor’s face,
"Luo Ai Lei... have you heard of it?" A sailor looked at another sailor,
"It sounds like there is not a big man!" The soldiers whispered, and a sailor with a red scarf on his head carefully glanced at Luo Ai Lei on the carriage. "It looks like it is, look at that guy. The clothes she wears are gorgeous!"
"Asshole! These lowly people deserve to be hanged"
Hearing that his noble name was being lifted by a few insignificant water hands, the lungs of the Marquis Loére sitting in the carriage were about to explode, and he was going to get out of the carriage himself and slam these few. I don’t know the sailor’s slap in the sky.
At this time, from the direction the dozen or so sailors came, a navy officer walked up. It was a young officer in his twenties. The right sleeve of his clothes was hanging empty, and the navy badge on his shoulders. Indicates that he is a chief mate
"Captain...Look." The sailors looked at the carriage with embarrassed expressions. Although they were not aristocrats, they could also tell that the other party was a big man, at least a high-ranking noble.
"In the name of the imperial navy, can you please help us? The young officer came to the carriage a little nervously, raised his head and said holy, the carriage driver in front turned to look at Luo in the carriage. Airey
"How can I help?" Luo Ai Lei poked out half of his head, his face was gloomy, and the other party spoke in the name of the Imperial Navy, which made it difficult for him, the Deputy Chief of the Ministry of Coast Defense to refuse directly
"We need to requisition this carriage!" The officer secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The name of the Imperial Navy is indeed effective
He respectfully gave a military salute to Luo Ai Lei and said, "My lord, there are still many wounded soldiers on our battleship, because this is not a port, so we can only use our own methods to send them to the doctor. Go! Otherwise, they will all die from the infection!"
"Wounded soldiers? Are you sailors of the Merendi Fleet?" Luo Ai Lei said with a cold face
"Yes, I am the first mate on the Ansari of the fleet. These sailors belong to the fleet!" The officer replied with a serious look
" Are you defeated?" Luo Ai Lei's face became heavier, he saw more and more sailors appearing on the road, and many people's eyes were focused on his carriage, which made him feel disgusted.
"No, we fought bravely! We almost captured the opposing warship." The officer was very clever and did not respond directly, but said with his head upright.
"Hi, Iaryk, why are you still dawdling!"
In the crowd, an officer was wearing a blood-soaked bandage on his head, and he carried a corpse on his right shoulder. No, half a corpse came by, in a strange silence. The tall officer came to the carriage with a calm face,
He glanced at the Marquis Loére, who was holding his nose with his hand, with a disgusting face. Two dangerous and fierce lights appeared in his eyes. After taking a deep breath, his voice was full of anger. "Is it terrible?" This is the corpse of my brother. I promised him that I will definitely let him return to the land!"
"Well, what can I say straight, but please take this dirty corpse away, he is really disgusting!" The Marquis Roailey's face has lost its former elasticity and luster, showing A pale color,
"What is dirty! This is the remains of a soldier who was devastated for the Imperial Navy. He paid his life to fight the enemy, but lost his precious life because of the commander’s escape!
The expression on the officer's face and the corpse carried on his right shoulder are chilling.
"Imperial Navy? Are you also called the Imperial Navy like this, rude fellow... I am Luo Ai Lei, the undersecretary of the Imperial Coastal Defense Department. You will go to the gallows for offending Shangguan this time!"
Marquis Luo Ailey’s eyes are full of fear, and even the sound of scolding and scolding is lacking in anger. He regrets it now, why not wait for the attendants to follow
"The Deputy Chief of the Coastal Defense Department?" The strong naval officer was taken aback for a moment, and said to himself, "Paldo First Class Sailor...This person is the second-general of the Imperial Coastal Defense Department that you are fighting desperately."
"In that case, please ask the second elder to give a thankful hug as a reward for loyalty!" The angry naval officer suddenly opened the door of the carriage and "slapped" him on his right shoulder. The corpse of the soldier who was standing was thrown at the Marquis Roaire, unable to avoid him. The Marquis de Roailey opened his arms almost like a reflex, catching the dead sailor who was flying towards him with only the upper body, as if embracing each other. .
" ah, "The screams of screams that Luo Ai Lei couldn't understand, together with the luxurious seats in the car, fell on the carpet, but it was too crowded, even if it fell on He still held the soldier’s corpse in his hand. Luo Ai Lei seemed to notice something suddenly, turned his head and made a weird cry again, pushing the soldier’s corpse away hard,
"I yuck, what the Imperial Coast Guard! I have never seen such a thing on the battlefield!" The officer laughed loudly, and the sailors all around were laughing staggeringly. In the Imperial Navy, everyone knows the so-called The Ministry of Coastal Defense of the Empire is the most corrupt and useless department,
The so-called imperial coastal defense is something that has no actual definition. It is called coastal defense to survey the frontline islands, and the naval port is also called coastal defense. The job is to patrol everywhere and blackmail some property. There are rumors that the Imperial Coastal Defense Department Every year, millions of gold coins are handed over to His Majesty the Emperor. To put it bluntly, the Imperial Coast Defence is mainly an idle department used by His Majesty to collect money. As for the real fight, the masters of the Ministry of Coast Defence will immediately run out of shadows. /
stomping, the sound of hurried horseshoes came. At this moment, the attendants who had been dragged a certain distance just arrived, and heard the screams of Luo Ai Lei, the hurried horses ran straight towards the sailors. /
" Get out of the way, do you want to die!" the attendants shouted arrogantly on the horse, and the frightened sailors stepped out.
"Kill him! Kill this impudent fellow.' The Marquis Luo Ailey ran out of the carriage full of minced meat and blood at this moment, pointing at the officer and shouting loudly. However, the officer did not try to escape, but stood quietly, looking coldly at the pale-faced Marquis Luo Ailey, a weird smile appeared on the blood-stained and sad face.
Several servants’ knight swordsman pierced from his front in a concentrated way...
"嘡啷!"
A dazzling cold light pushed away the stabbing swords of the attendants, and a young and burly figure came out from the crowd. "Do you want to kill a naval officer who fought for the empire in front of the imperial navy? ?"
" is Mylenlis!"
There was a low voice from sailors all around, and the person who came out was the son of Admiral Melendy of the fleet. If the sailors of the fleet were still a little confused about the young master of the Admiral, after a night of fierce battle, this The **** admiral young master, like them, took the lead in the battle. He led the charge many times. Although he was forcibly taken away by the guards, the young master’s figure has already made many sailors remember him
"Kill him, I want both of them to die! "The already mad Marquis Luo Ailey shouted angrily to the attendants
"Are you just watching your brothers let them kill?" Myronliss sword is on the chest,
"**, **** them! "The sailors around had just experienced a defeat, and I don’t know how much resentment was buried in their hearts. They were surrounded by Myronis and all the sentiments immediately
"What do you want to do... I am the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Coastal Defense Department!" Luo Ai Lei looked at the menacing sailors around him, and his face suddenly panicked. Thousands of sailors took him to a dozen. Surrounded by an attendant, many sailors have drawn out short swords at their waists for fighting, and those bloodshot eyes, wanting to swallow them alive
" My lord, I heard that Master Myronlis had a conflict with someone in front! "At the tidal flat where the fleet was docked, Melendy, who had just walked off the deck, received a report from a henchman captain
"Who is the other party?" Melendy asked indifferently
" It seems to be Deputy Commander Luo Ai Lei! "The captain who came to report the letter had an unconcealable smile on his mouth." I heard that he was beaten badly. First, Luo Ai Lei wanted to kill one of us. The officer, then the young master ran out to preside over justice, and then our sailors gang fights, it’s messy to talk about!"
" Luo Ailey? How did the two of them meet together? "Merendi raised his head in surprise, frowned slightly, and asked, "Is anyone dead?"
"No!" The captain said angrily, "Even though he fought fiercely~IndoMTL.com~, Master Myronlis did not kill him. He just ordered Deputy Chief Luo Ailey and his More than a dozen attendants are tied to a tree trunk on the side of the road for people to visit"
"It seems that after a night of training, this guy has also learned to grasp the scale!" Hearing this, Melendy gave a sigh of relief, and he waved his hand to the captain, "Forget it, this matter." Just pretend I don’t know! I believe that after this, at least that fellow Luo Ai Lei will have no face to harass us in a short period of time, otherwise, as the deputy chief of the Coast Defense Department, it is really true that we are forced to **** him away It's hard to refuse!"
"But this time, the Ministry of Coast Defense was completely offended!" The captain said with some worry
"Ministry of Coastal Defense? Haven't you seen it yet" Melendy gave a wry smile, looked at the sea in the distance and said, "On the opposite side of the sea, in that unknown land, a battle that shakes the entire empire's coastal defense A storm is coming. In the face of this storm, how far will the lords of the Ministry of Coast Defense hide? Do you still expect to get help from them?"
"Did you find the Norman?" McLendy seemed to think of something and suddenly asked
"No, it was so chaotic at the time, it might have sunk to the bottom of the sea with other warships!" The captain said hesitantly
"I don't know why, I always have a feeling that the Normans seem to keep hiding something from us, otherwise how could they suddenly let us take this route!" A chill flashed in Melendy's eyes (to be continued) [ 】If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. )
