jī, the two fleets met unexpectedly like fate. In the distance, the port of Antoros was filled with flames, and the black smoke that went straight up in the sky attracted the attention of the unknown fleet.
"Do you know who the opponent is?" A dignified middle-aged man appeared on the bow of the flagship of the unknown fleet, looking far away, watching the third squadron on the sea with a condescending look at the distance to flee. His figure, the bursting sea breeze carved too many wrinkles on his face, and the sea has carved too many memories on his body, leaving behind dense scars, and it also closely linked his life to the battleship.
The dark eyes of the middle-aged man looked at the black smoke that went up into the sky in the distance and the flames still burning at the port. The wreckage of ships blocking the port abounds. Although it is far away, one can be seen. The port facilities braving the flames are collapsing, and the entire Port of Antoros is almost like a legendary region
"Should be a group of bold pirates without naval spirit!"
answered him is a young officer standing next to him, wearing a deep black military uniform, handsome, with a high nose and bó lips, outlining a firm and vigorous face,
"Pirates? Dare to attack a port with an integrated garrison fleet. Have you ever seen a pirate like this!" The middle-aged man said displeasedly to the young officer’s answer,
His name is Merenti, one of the three admirals of the Imperial Marine Patrol. He was ordered to transfer from the northern sea to the southern part of the empire. He was inadvertently attracted by the inexplicable rolling thunder, and standing beside him was his second The son, an officer who has just been transferred to the Imperial fleet, has 43 warships in his fleet, of which 17 are huge five-tier warships and 26 other frigates. With this number and tonnage, there are six cruise fleets in the Empire. Middle is enough to rank in the top three
"Father, you have too many worries." The young officer smiled disdainfully, obviously despising the behavior of the Third Fleet's fight and run, and confidently said, "As a conqueror of the sea, he even faces The enemy has no guts, such an enemy, even if it is unusual,
"Can he beat that cunning Ruhr, even if he is not able to escape from his father? Who can blame this, Antoros is a seaway hub, for the pirates Like a treasure of endless wealth, "The young officer shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly." Even if 300 pirates are executed a year, it is still difficult for them to retreat. So the best way is to completely block the possibility of going out to sea! "
The footsteps sounded gently behind, and the voice of respectful flattery sounded behind the two. "The Marquis really deserves to be one of the three imperial navy generals. His prestige is grand, and just the power, he has scared the other side to flee. Now!" A middle-aged nobleman with a smile on his face appeared beside his door, his flattering posture, as if the humblest servant saw the most noble master, and he wanted to lie on the ground and lick his toes. between.
"Why did this flatterer come up?"
Seeing this middle-aged nobleman, the young officer's face showed unhappiness that could not be concealed. The man who came was called Coors, a Normandy businessman. The reason why the fleet will be diverted to the Antoros waters this time is because of this Coors wants to cross Antoros back to Normandy, because the Duchy of Normandy is the most important supply point for the Imperial Navy in China Sea, so under normal circumstances, the Imperial fleet will also agree to this kind of ride-hailing behavior
"What's going on in front? Oh, why is there fire everywhere!" Coors lay on the side of the ship, looking into the smoke in the distance, sighing from time to time
"If I remember correctly, the port of Antoros in front should be a port belonging to your Principality, right?" Myenti asked Coors with a surprised face. The expression on the other's face seemed a bit of schadenfreude.
"It was a month ago, but now it belongs to the Dunkel people!" Kurse grinned and said, "It is said to avoid some danger from the opposite side of the sea. Although I don't know what it is, but at present, the decision is How wise, I am a little scared to say it. If it is still our port, maybe I will be on it too."
"Across from the sea?" Myrenti's face was taken aback for a moment, and then there was an expression of joy that could not be concealed. He raised his head and looked at the third squadron that had not completely disappeared on the sea level in the distance, and loudly ordered the fleet. The fastest assault ships Juneflower and Giffen will strike immediately!
"What's the matter, father?" Seeing Merenti who suddenly changed his mind, the young officer's face was full of confusion,
" The opponent is not a pirate, but a navy!" Myrenti’s cold face turned to a cold murderous intent, and he clenched his fist and said fiercely, "The Imperial Navy has received a lot of reports from the coastline in the past six months. There is an unknown fleet that has been wandering along the imperial coastline, but it has been looking for it repeatedly without any eyebrows. There is no doubt that it is them that we are encountering.
" Yes, the other party attacked Port Antoros. This is a declaration of war, a naked declaration of war! "Cooles said, adding more energy and jealousy to the side." If you can catch them, the achievements of the adults will be completely overwhelmed. The admiral of other fleets! You will be the true leader of the Imperial Navy! The empire’s eastward advance is blocked. If the adults can deliver this victory report representing the conquest of the heathens to the Emperor’s Yutai Room non-stop. At that time, the Emperor. Your Majesty will be proud of his most combative and talented navy, and even shed tears of relief." Coors said with a smile on his face. Every word made Myenti’s face a little more agreeable,
His small eyes looked round and round, and only after he was sure he was safe, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "The six-month election is coming soon, and the Imperial Navy will also make new appointments. I think if he has a merit, Your Majesty will Reconsidering the choice of navy commander."
"Pay attention to the words, it's so arrogant!" Merenti was obviously a little surprised, but his face showed a very useful look, commenting on the imperial election, if it were on land. It will be a very taboo thing. Even a distinguished nobleman cannot escape the fate of being imprisoned, but now in this vast ocean, it can still be happily accepted,
"Father, I think this possibility exists! This place is not on land, but on the ocean. At this time, I believe that in addition to ourselves, the guys in the other fleet must also be Thinking the same idea,
Otherwise, why are they like us? At this sensitive moment, instead of staying at the naval headquarters, they went to their respective waters to fight pirates, contact coastal countries, expand their prestige, and seek support! "The young officer also agreed, with a strong tone of unwillingness
" I think Master Maiales is too right to say, with such courage and gaze. It really deserves to be the blood of Lord Myrenti! "Seeing Myrenti calmly and happily accepting his own Suggestion, Culston, the Normandy, smiled openly.
He knew that his future had added a weight to it, and he was able to win over Merenti, one of the three imperial admirals. He gained a new level of certainty about the mission goal delivered by his lord, and he began to improve. The voice said excitedly
" Compared to other seas, Antoros’ strategic location is the most important. It connects the northern sea and the crossroads of the empire’s inner sea. It is the throat between the two seas. As long as you control it, you can completely cut off the northern part of the empire. All contacts with the outside world, according to Antoros Island, advance, attack, retreat and defend. Such an important strategic goal must never fall into the hands of the enemy. I believe that the news of the attack on Port Antoros will soon be sent back to the empire. ,
When the time comes, the empire will inevitably be shaken. After its failure on land, the empire’s always stable coastal defense has also been humiliated. With the strength of Mount Tai, the adults resolutely and thoroughly crushed the invasion from the infidels and restored the dignity and glory of the empire. , This will inevitably become the headline in the Empire’s battle reports for the first time. When the whole country lost a hundred thousand army silence for the failure of the eastward advance, this victory of the adults is undoubtedly a meter of sunshine to disperse the dark clouds of the empire.
"But..." Myenty was hesitant on his face, "Leaving the predetermined area without authorization, and rushing to the unfamiliar sea, I am afraid there will be unpredictable danger
Coors rolled his eyes, smiled softly in his heart, and bowed his head and said, "Adults are cautious and admirable. Although these heretics are so reckless, the empire is in such a situation, and the country is in urgent need of a game. Victory stirs the hearts of the fallen people. Now that I have encountered them, how can I let them go? And they only have four warships. What a godsend opportunity! The adults fleet has 40 warships, in order to make the unhappy Emperor smile happy, for the empire. For the stability of coastal defense, in order to shock those heretics who don’t know the heights of the sky, I would reluctantly ask the adults to clean up the garbage for the empire, don’t you think?"
" Make up your mind, my father," said the young officer Maiales." Think about the admirals of the other fleets. At this moment, you must be eager for such an opportunity to come! But let us meet, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity , I missed the person who would be condemned by God"
At this moment, a sailor from the fleet ran over to report. "I just received a request for help from the port of Antoros. The Deputy Chief of the Ministry of Coastal Defense, Lord Luo Ailey, was on the island. He asked us to dock immediately and **** us. He returns to the Empire!"
" How could that idiot Luo Ailey be in Antolos?" Merenti turned to look towards the port, frowning, he is not in the same faction with Luo Ailey in the navy, but Luo As the deputy commander of the Ministry of Coastal Defense, Airey is half a level higher than himself in terms of official rank. The most important thing is that the opponent is the deputy commander of the Ministry of Coastal Defense. Although he cannot directly order the cruise fleet, he is also responsible for the overall defense of the empire’s waters. People
" Father, the warplane is ahead, we don’t have the time to spare!" Maiales urged, "Everyone knows that Lo Ailey supports Admiral Umbil, even if we really save him, he will Will not buy our love, the enemy has been withdrawn, and staying on the island is safer than taking it on a boat. I believe that fellow Luo Ailey also knows this deeply. The reason why we have to dock is completely unwilling to see. We have made an unspeakable accomplishment. For such a despicable man, what else is worth hesitating!"
"My lord Myenty, although I am not a soldier, I also know what a fighter plane is like a shooting star. I won’t come when I pass by."
Cooles looked at Myenty with a sacred look.” Compared with the dignity of the empire, do you need to care too much about the safety of an island? Even the noble Lord Roailey, with his noble character, is fighting here. After that, I believe I will express my understanding too!"
"Noble?" Hearing the words of the Norman Coors, Mylenty almost laughed out loud. If the scumbags like Luo Ailey can be linked to Noble, even the most despicable guy like a gutter , I can probably describe it as a knight,
But this excuse is a good one. Even if it is pursued after the fact, I can still use the dignity of the empire to encourage me, summon all my courage, pursue hundreds of miles, and seize the opportunity to give the enemy a fatal blow. Victory, even the character behind Luo Ai Lei can only choose to be silent about this,
" That's the case, so be it! "Merenti finally made up his mind, turned around, and scanned the densely packed battleship column immediately behind his flagship. He was very proud and sternly shouted "Command , The fleet immediately accelerated! The two fastest assault ships in the fleet, June Flower and Giffen, acted as avant-garde and queued for pursuit!"
Following the order, two famous fast battleships in the Imperial Navy dashed two eye-catching white lines on the sea. The sharp bows split the waves like a sharp blade and galloped towards the Falcon fleet in the distance. And then, the thirty-nine warships of the fleet were full of sails. As the speed got faster and faster, the waves splitting from the bows got higher and higher, and the ripples spread farther and farther, and the sound of the swaying waves broke completely. The tranquility of the sea.
"I will be the youngest admiral of the empire!" Melenti meditated in her heart this name that made her blood boil, and stood upright on the bow, letting the increasingly fierce sea breeze blow her hair. On the sea level in the distance, the shadows of 4 small black dots rise and fall with the waves. He seems to have seen the dawn of victory illuminating him. This battle will surely allow him to ascend the coveted throne
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Between the sea and the sky, a high-flying golden double-winged flag appeared, followed by dense masts, like a sword piercing the blue sky. In less than half an hour. A huge fleet appeared on the sea about four nautical miles in front of Frye, with a total of forty warships, covering the sky and the sun, coming from the wind and waves, giving people a strong sense of seismic deterrence.
Even if Frye has faced countless deaths, he can feel his blood all over his body as if burning, and there is a feeling of tightness and tingling on his face
"Asshole, it looks like I was bitten!" Frye put down the chattering glass in his hand, his face was red and white because of excessive anger. Although the third fleet's evacuation was still timely, the opponent's support The fleet came too suddenly, almost without warning,
Now the opponent's pursuit formation is clearly trying to kill him in one bite. The two fleets dragged on the sea for nearly an hour, one after the other. The rapid and sharp sound of the battleship splitting the waves resounded throughout the sea. Because of the rapid rotation of the Dragon Tooth battleship brush, long waves were drawn on the calm sea, and the sea was also surging because of the violent movement of the ship. Moving,
The heavy dragon class made the entire fleet unable to lift up the speed. Frye could only stare at the situation. He could only order the sailors to kick all the debris on the deck into the sea, including those Broken wine bottles, and some emptied gunpowder wood, the sailors all rushed up to clean the deck, but the usefulness of this did not have much effect on the huge dragon-class body,
In any case, it is impossible to give an order to give up the dragon flagship, now I can only think of a way to spend it until dark!
With this idea, Frye ordered the fleet to turn to the reef area of the island chain. Although the Dragon-class battleship is too bulky and can easily run on the reef and run aground in the reef area, the opponent’s five-story large battleships are more numerous,
Turning into the reef area will inevitably make the opponent afraid of being too presumptuous, and the pursuit speed has to be reduced. As long as the situation of siege on all sides cannot be formed, the squadron will have the hope of protruding. Obviously, Merenti has also seen it. With the intention of running away from the enemy, he immediately ordered the assault ship to surround him and try his best to interfere with the enemy’s largest intermediate battleship. Melenti also saw that the largest battleship was the opponent’s greatest weakness, as long as it could be hit hard. ~IndoMTL.com~ It is bound to put the opponent into a deadly match that cannot be separated
"Order the left-wing Dragon Tooth Ship No. 13 to prepare and kill the enemy assault ship"
Looking at the two extremely fast assault ships turning an arc not far away, getting closer and closer to the enemy, Fletcher’s face was as heavy as ice water, and he said calmly, with a very low voice, for Covering the Dragon Class, the other three Dragon Tooth ships are gradually arranging into a sideline to face the enemy. The 15th black hole of Thor’s muzzle on the right side of Dragon Tooth 13 is pushed out, and the forbearing Thor is sent out again on the sea. Deafening roar,
"What was that just now?" Myrenti's face stopped after seeing this scene. The thick white smoke came out from the side of the enemy battleship like a trick. A large area of ten meters of water column. In these water columns, the hull of the assault ship just shook and passed through safely, but the giant* that curled up like a magic made Meranti stunned.
Because it was shot while the warship was traveling, Thor's accuracy was extremely poor. Many shells almost fell in front of or behind the assault ship. The scene was very thrilling, but it also scared the assault ship. It’s so choking, I quickly choose to sail outside,
"It should be some kind of trebuchet of pagans, right"
Merenti made a rough judgment based on experience, but didn’t know that his judgment was leading his fleet to no return. The stalemate continued until the sun went down and the sky began to dim, (unfinished) To be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
