The sun is rising, and the port is beautiful in the morning light. It is like a crescent moon on the edge of the blue sea surrounded by mist. On the sea, there are strips of white waves, and fish swimming in the clear shallow sea can be seen. The top of the port mountain is The castle seemed to be bathed in a golden light. The golden light shone on the corridors of the castle. Myronlis pushed open his father's door.

This is one of the two garrison castles on Antoros Island. It is a solid fortress with a length of 350 meters and a width of 350 meters. It is completely made of limestone on the island and is strong enough to withstand attacks from large trebuchets. The people who first built this fortress The Normans obviously had a long-term plan to hold on. Later, the Dunkels took over. Because the island is far away from the Principality of Dunkel, the garrison on the island has always been vacant. There is only a garrison of about 400 people. The novel Chapter fastest

These two strong fortresses were abandoned. Although it was already the depth of winter, the four pointed towers were looming in the mist, and green vines could still be seen hanging from the damp walls. Occasionally, Picked up by the cold wind and making a tapping sound on the wall, this The fortress was built according to the garrison scale of 1,500 people, but now it is overcrowded. Sailors who have been evacuated from the battleships are everywhere, people are coming and going, and there are also many wounded soldiers among them, who are densely packed all over the fortress.

This battle-hardened Imperial Fleet Admiral was standing in front of the window of the top room of the main castle. His once stern face was covered with haggard, and only a pair of eyes were shining like starlight looking at the sea in the distance.

"Is there any feedback from the Admiralty?"

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Merendi turned around, his eyes were bloodshot. Only 3,000 of the 7,000 sailors came back. For this fleet admiral who has a high reputation within the Imperial Navy, It was like a slap in the face, ten against one, but still such a record. He could imagine that at this moment in the Imperial Navy Department, those who were dissatisfied with him were already laughing so hard.

"This is the order sent by the Admiralty's carrier pigeon this morning." Mellenlis hesitated for a moment before handing over the document in his hand and said with an ugly expression.

"Has the main force of the empire been transferred to Amur?" Melendi took the order with a slight change in expression, glanced over it, a trace of surprise appeared on the corner of his mouth, and sighed and said, "As expected, this transfer order is undoubtedly equivalent to automatically rejecting me. The submitted plan for the battle in the sea area of ​​​​Antros, compared to the empire's innermost concern, the Holy Sigest Empire, which has always been ambitious for the northern territories, is the object that the Imperial Navy needs to pay most attention to, and Antros is automatically ignored. "

"At least, the Admiralty did not completely reject my father's proposal," Mellenlis said cautiously. "The reply mentioned that in view of the arrogant invasion of the pagan navy, the Admiralty has issued a mobilization order to the Valician military port 200 miles away. Where will 21 imperial warships be dispatched to support us here? , and the local garrison fleet in Lisbon. They have 41 battleships. Although they are not the top battleships, they are still a very good combat force. They are rushing towards the waters of Antoros with all their strength. If we are included in the With 14 warships, the number can reach 76, which should be enough to start a battle."

"There are 76 battleships, but only one dilapidated battleship. Isn't this a joke for the so-called battle?" Melendi tapped his fingers on the table, and his face became more and more gloomy as he listened, without any joy at all. , said in a condensed voice, "Although the reply from the Admiralty sounds very good, I know very well the details of the Varisian Navy mentioned in the order." The 21 imperial warships owned by the Varisian Port are all from the main force. fleet About half of the obsolete old ships that have been eliminated from the fleet are old warships that have been in service for 60 years. To put it bluntly, this is a fleet that serves as a port patrol. It is okay to decorate the appearance. In fact, it is already old and unbearable. Needless to say, Lisbonge's local fleet during World War I was basically some small and medium-sized warships that had been eliminated long ago. At most, they served as port guards and could not adapt to high-intensity encounters at all!

"Such an arrangement is not so much about helping us as it is sending some useless people to frustrate us. You have also seen the strength of the enemy. Without a sufficient number of main battleships, we simply cannot compete with them." "How could this happen? "When Myronlis heard what his father said, the tragic scene of 40 battleships that day flashed in his mind, and he was still helpless against 4 enemy ships, and his face suddenly turned pale." Could it be that they were so perfunctory about the imperial coastal defense? Got it "Is it something?" Mellenlis said with some reluctance. This cruel fact made him, a young man who is passionate about the Imperial Navy, suffer another blow. "In the eyes of some people, the Imperial Coastal Defense is just a way for them to gain fame. It's just a way to get wealth." The mature Melundi smiled disdainfully, stared into the distance, and said angrily, "And I can say with certainty that this arrangement is definitely the work of that guy Feiton."

"First, they transferred the main force in the name of fighting against Holy Sigest, and then used some incompetent fleets to hold us back. Even if we want to give up this battle, it will be impossible." Unless we are willing to betray ourselves Friendly troops, the crime of escaping without permission"

"Marquis Fitton, what my father is talking about is the Chief of Naval Operations, Marquis Fitton?" Myronlis was stunned when he heard the name. Marquis Fitton was a well-known and brave general in the Imperial Navy.

It is said that his fleet is known as the Gale Fleet because of its extremely fast assault speed. Such a name that makes young people feel passionate and his tough command style have attracted the attention of many young people who want to join the Imperial Navy. "That's him. Last year, he was sacred In order to cooperate with the army's northward march, the Sigest Empire led the fleet northward along the Barrow Sea in Central Europe, led by the famous naval admiral Mulla. The one who was ordered to meet him was Fitton's "Fleet," Merendy's voice stopped, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he said with obvious disdain, "As a result, this guy attacked rashly without waiting for the arrival of the main force, and was besieged by the Mulla fleet in Sri Di Port for 7 days. He almost missed it." The whole army was wiped out. It was me who arrived in time with my fleet and saved this despicable guy's life. However, after this guy got out of trouble, he insisted that I had taken the credit from him.

Although he has many connections in the Admiralty, in the end His Majesty the Emperor personally determined that this achievement was attributed to me, but this despicable villain was also promoted to Chief of Operations of the Admiralty by virtue of this battle. "He was transferred to support from this time. The admirals of the two fleets can watch It turns out that behind the Valician fleet is the old admiral Ayaze, and behind the Lisbongue fleet is his rival Ariana Navy Commander. It is self-evident that he wants to use the enemy's hands to eradicate dissidents in one fell swoop. , clearing the way for himself to become Secretary of the Navy.”
