Power and Empire Chapter 1235: Two-headed snake
There is no cloud on the sea of Antoros, and a clear sky. On the sea level like a white line in the distance, a black sail appeared in the sight of the port watchpoint.
"Attention! What is that?" The soldiers on the watchtower looked at the black spots in the distance blankly,
"Is it a pirate?" A soldier asked uncertainly. This is a temporary recruit. Because the attack some time ago caused heavy losses to the port guard, he had to recruit some people from the island residents to help.
Although Antoros Island is not large, as a hub of the North and South Seas, there are many sailors and merchants who come and go. Over time, it has formed the first residents of the island.
"It doesn't look like it!" His companion quickly denied this. This is an experienced old sailor. He raised his right thumb, gestured for a distance, and said, "Although the pirates are also black Sail, but you will never own such a warship. Don’t look at it as a black spot. It’s 20 nautical miles away. If it is an imperial warship, it’s a bit reluctant, but if there is only one, there is nothing worth noting. Don’t forget. Yes, we are stationed here in the fleet of Lord Merendi"
At this moment, there was an exclamation of the sentry next to him. The sentry looked at the sea in the distance with a stupefied face, raised his hand and shouted, "Oh, my God! Look! What are those!"
"What's wrong?"
The old sailor looked in the direction of his fingers, and his body shuddered deeply, and saw that in the place where the black spot appeared just now, countless black spots spread like a thin line, relying on his sophisticated From experience, it is known that at least more than a hundred large warships are rushing from here. The stern bell of "Enemy Attack!" rang at the position of the guard tower, and they just settled down from the panic of the attack. The port immediately became a mess,
"Father, the enemy fleet is here!"
The young Myronlis nervously pushed open the door of his father’s office. In the office was sitting Admiral Merendi, and across from him was sitting unexpectedly an old admiral with a little gray hair. That was the Admiral Ayaze of the Valician Fleet who was ordered to come,
Mylenlis was stunned. He didn't know when the Valician fleet arrived. This old man with a haggard face but with short hair like silver needles proved to be nothing like external rumors. It's old age like that.
Hearing the voice of Myronlis, Ayaze turned his head, his eyes flashed sharply on Myronlis, and there was a glimmer of appreciation in his eyes, and he smiled at Melendy next to him. "The tiger father has no dog, Malendy, I have long heard that you have a good son. I saw it today and he really deserves his reputation!"
"This kid who doesn't know anything about etiquette makes you laugh! Don't hurry to salute Master Ayacho" Melendy's old face blushed slightly, and angrily reprimanded Myronlis.
"Master Ayaze!"
Mylenlis quickly stood at attention and gave a military salute to the old admiral. His eyes contained respect. This was from the heart. In the Imperial Navy, this old admiral was very respected by the admiral of the Imperial fleet. He had been taken care of by him when he was young. If it weren’t for the overly stubborn character and offending someone in the royal family, it is said that Ayaze, the imperial fierce lion who had served as the chief of warfare at the time, might have been promoted to the chief of the imperial navy .
"Okay, don't call me a bad old man in your heart! It's not bad! Compared to your young people, I am indeed very old." Ayaze waved his hand and smiled very kindly. Look It’s not that I don’t know what the outside world is saying about him. Up to this moment, the old admiral’s expression is like an old man who has just woke up, but the cold light flashes occasionally in his eyes, with a fierceness that makes people afraid to face it.
"How many battleships has the enemy come?" McLendy looked at his son, and asked, returning to the subject,
"I don't know for the time being, the visual inspection should be about 100 ships!" Myronliss God responded cautiously
"If this is the case, then order the fleet to fight!" Melendy stood up, picked up his military cap from the table, and nodded to the old Admiral Ayazh who also stood up next to him. "My fleet will follow the plan and The enemy circulated until the enemy ships were introduced into the waters, and the others would be pleased. The danger of this battle will determine the safety of the empire’s coastal defense. If the enemy opens a gap in Antoros, the empire will have to face the divine Segues. The empire and the Falcon Kingdom are fighting on two fronts, so please do your best to help!"
"Don't worry, there are more than 60 warships in the Lisboa local fleet, and I have also requested the Biaak heavy battleship detachment from the Admiralty. If you launch a sudden attack on the enemy's flank, it should be able to severely damage the enemy!"
The **** sè on Ayaze’s face turned serious. He was able to hear a decisive meaning from the prestigious imperial admiral’s tone, with 14 wrecked ships facing the opponent’s hundreds of warships, no matter what How is not an easy task
"All please!"
Merendy once again respectfully paid a solemn military salute to the old admiral, and hurried away with his son,
The gray-haired Admiral Ayaze came to the office window. Through the window, you can see the flanks of Antoros Island. Among the huge masts towering like a forest, the huge bows of ten battleships are fierce. As the waves rise and fall, the huge hull clearly surpasses other warships around it, like ten huge sea beasts crouching there
Looking at these ten giant ships, the pupils of the old admiral Ayaze~IndoMTL.com~ still shrank slightly. The Empire Heavy Battleship is an upgraded version of the Empire’s main battleship, in order to deal with the old opponent, the Holy West. Was built by Gerst’s Panghai-class super battleship,
It has a tonnage of 110 tons and is almost completely covered with a solid iron plate on the outside. It has ten giant catapults with a range of more than 300 meters. It is the true maritime giant of the Imperial Navy.
"The fleet is ready for attack!"
On the temporary pier where the warships docked, there were all kinds of navy sailors coming and going. All kinds of materials were piled up like a mountain in the warehouse area. The faces of naval officers and sailors who walked fast in the busy noise were all With an unspeakable dignity,
Even if they don’t have time to stop and talk, they are passing each other, exchanging cherished and bloodshot eyes, and then rushing to the location of their battleship
December 11rì, 1st year of the Falcon Empire calendar,
The Battle of Antoros Sea, which was hailed as the "Battle of the Two-Headed Snake" by later military scientists, broke out. Neither of the first two parties realized that the direction of the battle would be so weird.
