w/wwFor more exciting novels, please go to Qingqin,. On the turbulent sea, the two fleets met unexpectedly as if by fate. The port of Antoros in the distance was filled with flames, and the black smoke rising into the sky attracted the attention of the unknown fleet, "Do you know who the other party is?" A solemn-looking middle-aged man appeared on the bow of the flagship of an unknown fleet, looking far into the distance. , looked down at the fleeing figure of the Third Squadron on the distant sea with a condescending look. The bursting sea wind carved too many wrinkles on his face, and the sea engraved too many memories on his body, leaving behind dense The scars also closely connect his life to the battleship. The chapter in the novel is the fastest

The middle-aged man's dark eyes looked at the black smoke rising into the sky in the distance and the flames still burning at the port. There were shipwrecks blocking the port. Although it was far away, a flaming port building could be seen. The facilities are collapsing, and the entire Antoros Port is almost like a legendary area.

"They should be a group of bold pirates without any naval spirit,"

The person who answered him was a young officer standing next to him. He was wearing a straight dark black military uniform and was handsome. His tall nose and thin lips outlined a resolute and energetic face, "Pirates? Dare to attack?" There is a port with a garrison fleet, have you ever seen such pirates?" The middle-aged man said with an unhappy face to the young officer's answer, "Novel" The novel chapter is the fastest

His name is Melundi, one of the three admirals of the Imperial Coast Guard. He was ordered to be transferred from the northern sea to the southern part of the empire. He was inadvertently attracted by the inexplicable rolling thunder. Standing next to him was his second son, a An officer has just been transferred to the Imperial Fleet. His fleet has 43 battleships, including 17 huge five-story battleships and 26 other frigates. This number and tonnage are enough to rank among the six cruise fleets of the Empire. top three

"Father, you worry too much." The young officer smiled disdainfully. He clearly looked down on the hit-and-run behavior of the Third Fleet and said confidently, "As a man who conquered the sea, he doesn't even have the courage to face the enemy." No, such an enemy, even if it is unusual, so what?

"Can he still defeat the cunning Ruel? Even he can't escape from his father's hands. Who can blame him? Antolos, a seaway hub, is like an endless piece of land for pirates. Treasure of wealth." The young officer shrugged and said helplessly, "Even if we execute 300 pirates a year, it will still be difficult for them to retreat, so the best way is to completely block the possibility of going to sea."

Footsteps sounded softly from behind, and respectful and flattering voices sounded from behind the two of them. "The Marquis is indeed one of the three generals of the Imperial Navy. He has a grand reputation. Just his power has scared the other party away. "A The middle-aged nobleman with a smile on his face appeared next to him, with a flattering attitude on his face, as if the humblest servant saw the noblest master and wanted to lie down on the ground and lick his toes.

"Why is this sycophant here?"

Seeing this middle-aged nobleman, the young officer showed unconcealable displeasure on his face. The man who came was called Coors and he was a businessman from Normandy. The reason why the fleet changed its route to the waters of Antoros this time was because Coors wanted to Return to Normandy through Antoros, because the Principality of Normandy is the most important supply point of the Imperial Navy in the Middle Sea, so under normal circumstances, the Imperial Fleet will also agree to this kind of hitchhiking behavior

"What's going on in front? Oops, why are there fires everywhere?" Coors lay on the side of the ship, looking towards the smoke in the distance, sighing from time to time.

"If I remember correctly, the port of Antoros in front of you should be a port belonging to your principality." Melundi asked Coors with a surprised expression. The expression on the other party's face sounded a bit like schadenfreude.

"It was a month ago, but now it belongs to the Dunkel people," Coors said with a grin. "It is said to be to avoid some danger from across the sea. Although I don't know what it is, it seems that this decision is very wise at present." I feel a little scared when I wake up. If it were still our port now, maybe I would be on it too."

"Across the sea?" Melundi's face was stunned for a moment, and then revealed a look 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 disembarked. The assault ships Juneflower and Giffen immediately attacked. "What's wrong, father?" Seeing Melundi who suddenly changed his mind, the young officer His face was full of confusion, "The opponent is not a pirate, but a navy." Melundi's cold face turned with a cold murderous intention, and she clenched her fist and said fiercely, "The Imperial Navy has received many coastal defense lines in the past six months. According to the report, there is an unknown fleet that has been lingering on the imperial coastal defense line, but despite repeated searches, nothing can be found. There is no doubt that, They are the ones we are encountering. "Yes, the other party has attacked the port of Antoros. This is a declaration of war, a naked declaration of war." Coors said with embarrassment next to him. "If we can catch them, my lord's achievements will be complete." Overshadowing the other admirals of the fleet, you will be the true leading commander of the Imperial Navy. If the Empire's eastward advance is blocked, if If your Excellency can send this victory report representing the conquest of the pagans to His Majesty the Emperor's Jade Room without stopping, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be proud of his navy with the most fighting spirit and talent, and even feel relieved. Tears of tears." Kors said with a smile on his face, and every word made Melundi's face gain a little more recognition.

He looked around with his small eyes. After making sure it was safe, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "The half-year election is coming soon, and the Imperial Navy will also make appointments. I think if he has a meritorious performance, His Majesty will definitely reconsider the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy." "chosen"

"Watch your words, you are so arrogant." Melundi was obviously sexually frightened, but she had a very helpful look on her face. Commenting on the imperial election like this would be a very taboo thing on land, even for noble nobles. I can't escape the fate of being imprisoned despite my identity, but now I can still accept it happily on this vast ocean.

"Father, I think this possibility exists. This is not on land, but on the ocean. At this time, I believe that in addition to ourselves, the guys in other fleets must also be thinking about the same idea. ,

Otherwise, why would they, like us, not stay at the naval headquarters at this sensitive moment, but go to their respective sea areas to fight against pirates, contact coastal countries, expand their prestige, and seek support? "The young officer also agreed, with a strong tone in his voice. "I don't want to be reconciled." I think what Young Master McAllis said is so right. Such courage and vision are indeed worthy of the blood of Lord Melundi. "Seeing that Melundi calmly and happily accepted his suggestion, Coulston, the Norman, suddenly beamed.

He knew that his future had another weight, and he could win over Melundi, one of the three admirals of the Imperial Navy. He had another layer of confidence in the mission goals assigned by his master, and he began to raise his voice excitedly. said

"Compared with other sea areas, Antuoros has the most important strategic location. It connects the crossroads of the Northern Sea and the Empire's internal sea. It is the throat between the two seas. As long as it is controlled, it can completely cut off all connections between the northern part of the Empire and the outside world. , According to Antoros Island, it can be attacked, retreated and defended. Such an important strategic target must not fall into the hands of the enemy. I believe that the news of the attack on Antoros Port will be spread back to the empire soon.

At that time, the empire will inevitably be shaken. After the defeat on land, the empire's always stable coastal defense was also humiliated. However, your Excellency used the power of Mount Tai to resolutely and completely crush the invasion from the pagans, and restored the dignity and glory of the empire. This is inevitable. It will immediately become the headline in the imperial war report. When the whole country is silent and loses a hundred thousand troops in the failed eastward advance, this victory of your Excellency is undoubtedly a meter of sunshine that disperses the dark clouds of the empire.

"but

..." Melundi had some hesitation on her face. "Leaving the predetermined area without authorization and rushing to attack in unfamiliar waters may lead to unpredictable dangers.

Coors rolled his eyes, smiled understandingly, bowed his head and said, "Your prudence is indeed admirable. Although these pagans are so desperate, but the empire is in such a situation, the country urgently needs a victory to encourage them." How can we let go of the falling hearts now that we have encountered them? Moreover, they only have four battleships. What a God-given opportunity. My Lord, the fleet has 40 battleships. In order to make the unhappy Emperor Showing a happy smile, for the sake of the stability of the empire's coastal defense, and in order to shock those pagans who don't know how high the sky is, I reluctantly ask you to come and clean up the empire's garbage. Don't you think so?" "Make up your mind, father" "Young officer Maia Leith said, "Think about the admirals of other fleets. They must be eager for such an opportunity at this moment. But we happened upon it. This is a rare opportunity. If we miss it, we will be punished by God."

At this moment, a sailor from the fleet ran over and reported, "We have just received news of a request for help from the port of Antoros. Mr. Luo Ailei, the deputy minister of coastal defense, is on the island. He asked us to dock immediately and escort him back to the empire." ,""Why is that idiot Luo Ailei in Antuoros?" Merendi turned towards the port. He looked at it and frowned. He and Luo Ailei were not from the same faction in the navy, but Luo Ailei, as the deputy chief of the Coastal Defense Department, was half a rank higher than him in rank. The most important thing was that the other party was Although the Deputy Minister of Coastal Defense cannot directly command the cruise fleet, he is still responsible for the overall defense of the imperial waters. "Father, the fighter plane is ahead, we don't have that time," McAlys urged, "Everyone knows that Luo Ailei supports Admiral Ambiel. Even if we really go to save him, he won't do it." Thank you for our kindness. The enemy has withdrawn. It is safer to stay on the island than on the boat. I believe that Luo Ailei The guy also knows this deeply. The reason why he wants us to dock is simply because he doesn't want to see us make achievements that are hard to achieve. For a despicable villain like him, what else is worth hesitating about? "Myron Mr. Di, although I am not a soldier, I also know what it means to be like a shooting star, passing by and never coming again."

Coors looked at Melundi with a sacred look. "Compared with the dignity of the empire, do we need to care too much about the safety of an island? Even the noble Lord Luo Aile, with his noble character, believes that after this battle, "" will also express understanding. "Shang?" Hearing the words of the Norman Coors, Merendy almost laughed out loud. If a deceitful scum like Luo Aile can be associated with nobility, even the most despicable guy like a gutter can probably be associated with nobility. To describe it as a knight,

But this excuse is good. Even if it is traced later, he can still be inspired by the dignity of the empire, summon up all his courage, pursue Cao Cao for hundreds of miles, and seize the opportunity to give the enemy a fatal blow as a reply. As long as this battle is won, it will be considered... The person behind Luo Ailei could only choose to remain silent, "Since That's it." Melundi finally made up her mind and turned around. She glanced at the dense column of battleships following her flagship. Her heart was full of pride and she shouted sternly, "Order, the fleet will immediately advance to the fleet." The two fastest assault ships, the Juneflower and the Giffin, acted as vanguard and formed a pursuit formation."

As the order was issued, two famous fast battleships in the Imperial Navy soared out of the sea with two eye-catching white lines, their sharp bows split the water waves like sharp blades, and galloped towards the Falcon Fleet in the distance. The thirty-nine warships were fully loaded with sails. As the speed became faster and faster, the waves split by the bows became higher and higher, and the ripples spread further and further. The sound of the turbulent waves completely broke the tranquility of the sea.

"I will become the youngest naval marshal of the empire." Melundi silently recited this name that made her blood boil. She stood straight on the bow and let the increasingly fierce sea wind blow her hair. The sea level in the distance On the top, the shadows of four small black dots undulated with the waves. He seemed to see the dawn of victory illuminating himself. This battle would surely put him on the coveted throne.

Between the sea and the sky, a high-flying golden double-winged flag appeared, followed by densely packed masts, like sharp swords piercing the blue sky. In less than half an hour, a huge fleet appeared about four nautical miles in front of Frye. On the sea, a total of forty warships, covering the sky and the sun, came against the wind and waves, giving people a powerful and intimidating feeling.

Even Frye, who has faced countless deaths, can feel that the blood in his body is burning, and there is a tight and numb feeling on his face.

"Asshole, it seems I was bitten." Fry put down the telescope in his hand, his face turned red and white due to excessive anger. Although the evacuation of the third fleet was quite timely, the opponent's support fleet arrived too suddenly. , almost without warning,

Now the opponent's pursuit formation was clearly designed to kill him. The two fleets, one behind the other, dragged on the sea for nearly an hour. The sound of the warships splitting the waves quickly and sharply resounded throughout the sea. , due to the rapid rotation of the dragon tooth battleship brush, long waves were drawn on the calm sea, and the sea water was also surging due to the fierce movement of the ship.

The bulky Dragon class made it impossible to raise the speed of the entire fleet. Frye could only stare at this situation. He could only order the sailors to kick all the debris piled on the deck into the sea water, including the broken wine. bottles, and some emptied gunpowder logs. The sailors also ran up quickly to clean the deck, but the use of this did not have much effect on the dragon's huge body.

No matter what, it is impossible to issue an order to abandon the dragon-class flagship. Now we can only think of ways to wait until dark.

With this idea in mind, Fry 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 aground in the reef area, the opponent has many five-story large battleships.

Moving into the reef area will inevitably make the opponent dare not be too presumptuous, and the pursuit speed will have to be reduced. As long as a situation of siege cannot be formed, the squadron will have hope of breaking out. Obviously, Melundi has also seen the escape of the enemy. Intent, he immediately ordered the assault ships to surround them and try their best to interfere with the enemy's largest warship. Melundi also saw that the largest warship was the opponent's biggest weakness. As long as it could be severely damaged, it would definitely be able to defeat it. Put the opponent into a death-match situation from which they cannot escape.

"Order the Dragon Tooth Ship on the left wing to prepare on the 13th to kill the enemy's assault ship."

Looking at the two extremely fast enemy assault ships that turned an arc not far away and were getting closer and closer, Fletcher's face was as heavy as ice water and he said calmly, his voice seemed very low, in order to cover the dragon class , the other three Dragon Tooth ships are gradually arranging to form a sideline to face the enemy. The black Thor cannon muzzles of 5 people on the right side of the Dragon Tooth Ship No. 13 are pushed out, and the Thor that has been holding back for a long time once again makes a deafening roar on the sea. Voice,

"What was that just now?" Merendy's face paused for a moment when he saw this scene. The white smoke came out of the side of the enemy warship like a magic trick, and the water waves flew up, rolling up a large ten Meters of water column, in these water columns, the hull of our assault ship only shook a little, and passed through safely, but the huge waves that rolled up like magic also left Melundi stunned.

Because the warship was shooting while the warship was moving, Thor's accuracy was extremely poor. Many of the shells almost landed in front or behind the assault ship. The scene was very thrilling, but it also scared the assault ship quite a lot. Quickly choose to sail outside,

"Probably some kind of trebuchet for the pagans"

Merendy made a rough judgment based on his experience, but he didn't know that his judgment was leading his fleet to a point of no return. The situation on the street continued until the sun set and the sky began to darken.
