Realm of Power

The afterglow of the setting sun shone from the opposite side of the sea level. In the quiet port, more than 200 transport ships were ready for departure. The fat man raised his head and glanced at the slanted sunlight, clasping his fingers together.

"I hope there won't be any problems, right?" The fat man stared at the bright and tragic sunset in the distance, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Six hours had passed since the initial victory report. He had defeated two enemy fleets in succession, and the passage had been completely opened. On the way to Adonis, no matter how slow the attack fleet is, or if it encounters unfavorable headwind weather, it should still climb to Adonis Island, but what is going on? Why is there no news at all?

"Your Majesty" Hu Keqili pushed the door in from the outside, with the same hesitation on his face. He was dressed in a straight regimental commander's uniform with a black background and white edges. He looked extremely capable. From the initial excitement to the current melancholy, the Navy The battle has become more and more difficult for him to figure out

"Is there any news from the attacking fleet?" The fat man did not turn around, turned his back to him, and asked slowly and coldly,

"There is no news yet!" Hu Keqi gritted his teeth hesitantly. He knew the concerns in His Majesty Falcon's heart, shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "There is still one hour before the deadline for the attack, and the soldiers who boarded the ship were a little commotion. , everyone doesn’t know what went wrong. I just made a patrol. The military morale is quite stable, but they are just a little confused. In fact, Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. Although there has always been a gap between the army and the navy, this time is a revenge on behalf of the empire. Fight, all soldiers will fight bravely! "

"That's not what I'm worried about!" The fat man turned around, his face as cold as ice, and his black pupils were like staring at a beautiful lover in the distance, staring deeply at the setting sun on the other side of the sea, golden The light shrouded the entire port like a huge transparent cover, and a white seagull hovered in the sky of the port. The high-quality update landed lightly on the towering mast. The deck below was already full of people. All the soldiers were like fat men, neatly raising their heads and looking into the distance.

The calm before getting ready to go makes every second now like a bowstring being slowly drawn. The arrow has been stringed, but is the target ready? Whether the situation is unclear, the order to attack or the order to give up, the atmosphere weighs heavily on everyone's heart. The fat man walked in from the balcony outside the room, picked up the glass of red wine from the table near the window, and took a sip of it without any grace.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much!" Hu Keqili said with a confused face. "Judging from the current battle situation, our navy has defeated two enemy fleets. No matter how you look at it, we have made a lot of money." ! "

"You don't understand. The navy's battles are different from those of the army. The navy's battle goal is to control the sea area. It's not looking at two enemy naval fleets. What the navy wants is a complete victory. It is to take the entire sea from the hands of the Gangfei Navy. Seize control of the southwest sea!" Fatty took a deep breath and said seriously, "It's not terrible to have no news, but we haven't received any news that the attack fleet has given up the operation, which at least proves it. The attacking fleet has not yet encountered any major enemies. Difficulty! The worst thing is to order Dustronkai to turn back to the port. Although I don't know if something went wrong in the middle of the plan, or has the Gangfei Navy seen through our plan to move it away from the island? Now we have completely lost the situation. If it is the former, the high-quality update sortie fleet should be in some kind of trouble and should be on its way back at this moment. If it is the latter, it means that the entire "Typhoon" plan has been seen through by the opponent, and the opponent will stick to Adonis Island. , so that the attacking fleet has no choice but to give up its plan."

The fat man stopped his voice, put down the water glass in his hand, and smiled bitterly, "No matter what it is, it indicates the failure of the revenge war. I'm afraid the admirals of the navy are also very anxious this time."

"If that's the case, it does look a little bad at the moment! Overall victory and unilateral victory are completely different things." Hu Keqili took a deep breath, frowned slightly at what the fat man said, and hesitated. After a while, I decided to express my opinion

"Although they had gained an advantage for a while, the southwest sea area was still firmly controlled by the Congolese Navy. This final irreversible result made the blood letter signed by all the admirals of the Navy vowing revenge become the biggest joke in the Falcon Army. , the belief in victory formed by the naval admirals, and the glory built up through many bloody battles, will all suffer a fatal blow! "

"What you said is exactly what I'm worried about!" The fat man shook his head helplessly. The navy is fighting in the north and south. This attack is really a bit reckless. Unfortunately, we can't do anything now. We haven't had this powerlessness for a long time. Now all we can do is to believe in the navy and believe that they are a group of ferocious wolves who dare to fight lions at critical moments, rather than wild dogs that can only whine after being beaten! "

"Yeah, now I can only believe in the navy!" Hu Keqili fell into silence for a while, looking over the fat man's shoulder, he saw the sunset in the distance like blood, churning the waves of the sea, and countless transport ships juxtaposed. It can be imagined that looking at this There is so much pressure on His Majesty's heart. The army is about to set off, and it is canceled at the last moment. It is not only the morale of the army that is shaken, but also His Majesty's reputation of being victorious in every battle.

"I hope that at the last moment, the Navy can get news back. This naval battle is also testing His Majesty." Hu Keqili sighed secretly. He didn't know what the Navy had encountered, but I believe it should be very difficult. Bar!

In the distant waters of Adonis, white gunpowder smoke filled the sea. The Dragon Tooth warship followed the transport ship of the Congolese Navy that fled in panic.

Dostelenko stood on the flagship, looking coldly through the telescope in his hand. Examining the flames on the sea, in the lens of the telescope, the wreckage of the large transport fleet quickly collapsed in the raging flames. The ruthless hunting of the transport fleet had lasted for more than half an hour, and more than a dozen transport ships were hit. Eight ships were sunk, and several other heavy transport ships were deliberately directed towards the island.

"Rumble"

A flexible Dragon Tooth battleship turned quickly in the distance, swinging its tail toward the coast like a cunning hunter. Behind it, a large transport ship billowed with thick smoke. The firelight reflected the setting sun, and the huge hull was half capsized in the cold water. Countless small black dots jumped from the transport ship, and corpses were already hitting the sea surface.

The fierce flames erupted from the Gangfei naval transport ship brought a tragic feeling to the light of the setting sun. A violent explosion broke out on an escaping transport warship. In the thick smoke, the ship thought it had escaped death. The transport ship was hit and sunk,

"The other party is really calm!" Dostelenko put down the telescope in his hand anxiously. Time was getting tighter and tighter. If there was no progress after an hour, he would have no choice but to reluctantly order a withdrawal.

Just then. High-Quality Updates The adjutant suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted, "Commander, look over there!"

"Where?"

Dostelenko nervously raised his telescope and followed the direction of the adjutant's finger. He saw a large number of warships with the flag of the Confederate Empire suddenly appearing on the cliff in the northeast direction of the coast. The number was hard to count. , the expanded queue is like a huge fan,

"Commander, the Fifth Squadron reports. Signs of enemy fleets found in the southeast!"

"Commander, the Third Squadron reported that a large number of enemy ships were suddenly discovered in the northwest!"

The urgent voice coming from the flagman on the mast finally made Dostelenko's serious mouth finally smile. Sure enough, the opponent was not calm, but had already arranged a considerable number of ambush fleets in three directions of the island in advance. It was really insidious. Thinking of this situation, Dustronkai's boldness also felt a little scared, if he had not attacked the transport fleet. I believe that as long as it gets dark, they will suddenly emerge from the ambush site.

The huge fleet surrounded by three parties is enough to put your fleet in a dilemma. In the dark night, most communication methods will fail, and Thor's long-range advantage will also be limited.

Without knowing the specific battle, the fleet was suddenly penetrated by enemy ships from several directions. It was too common for the entire fleet to fall into confusion and chaos.

"What a risk, I almost fell into a trap!"

Dostelenko secretly wiped a cold sweat. If he hadn't unexpectedly encountered a transport fleet and finally made the other party lose patience, he might have issued an order to attack by force to attract the other party.

"According to the scheduled plan, notify the fleet to turn to the southwest!" Dostelenko turned around excitedly and gave the decisive order. The emergency whistle to convey the news suddenly sounded sharply, which seemed particularly harsh in the calm sea. It started with One whistle, then two whistles, three whistles... Finally all the whistles were connected together, and the sharp whistles between the ships seemed to pierce everyone's eardrums,

The Falcon Navy warships turned around one after another. They were only responsible for drawing the opponent out, not fighting. It was not that they could not win, but because the opponent was backed by islands and strong port fortresses. Once they were beaten back, they would try to seize Adonis General. It's a very difficult thing,

"How many have we attracted!"

On a Dragon-class battleship, Squadron Admiral Joseph looked at the densely packed enemies in the distance and let out a subconscious sigh,

In fact, even he himself did not expect that the Gangfei people would arrange so many warships on the island. He made a visual inspection with a vicious look, and found that the total number was probably more than 150. To say that this was not the main force of the Gangfei Navy , what a hell, unexpectedly, a big fish was suddenly hoisted, and Joseph shouted loudly to the sailors behind him, "Quick, raise the main sail! I don't want to be caught up by these guys!"

"Catch them!"

Seeing that the Falcon Navy, which had just attacked the transport fleet, was turning around, as if it was eating away, the Gangfei Navy, surrounded on three sides, quickly formed a pursuit formation, and a huge white wave appeared in front of the warships advancing side by side. ,

The corpses of thousands of Gangfei soldiers were like duckweeds in the sea, pushed by the huge cold waves set off by the warships. Before the battle, the eyes of the admirals of the Gangfei naval fleet were already stimulated by the cruelty before them. It has become popular, and there are people everywhere The corpses of compatriots, a large number of corpses rushed to the distant coast with the cold waves. The corpses of countless non-conventional soldiers washed ashore with the sea water. The large swaths of corpses looked like schools of white fish in the telescope. Almost covering the edge of the coast,

More than 150 Gangfei warships and about 100 Falcon Navy launched a chase battle on the sea. As the sun sank into the sea, the two navies lit their lights, and countless lights were like a piece of light floating on the sea. Beautiful river of light,

No one noticed that an hour ago, a gray homing pigeon flew into the sky,

The sea in the dark night was full of up and down currents, the way forward was confusing, and no specific things could be seen at all, including the distance between the two pursuing fleets. Sometimes close and sometimes far away, several times Gang Feijun felt that he was about to catch up, but the opponent's sudden acceleration made the distance become more and more difficult to calculate.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, although I am not sure, I feel that the direction of the other party's escape seems to be Wriston Port."

On the flagship of the Gangfei Navy, an impromptu military meeting was being held. The wind lantern hanging on the cabin was blown from side to side, and a chart was placed on the back seat. Second Fleet Commander Roland Lefebvre stood up, pointed to a point on the chart, and said to the solemn-faced Commander-in-Chief of the Gangfei Navy, Hobro.

"Oh, when did you make such a judgment?"

The white-haired commander-in-chief held Hobro's chin in his hand, tilted his head, and his focused gaze stopped at the position of Roland Lefebvre's finger.

"an hour ago"

Roland Lefebre said with a solemn expression, "I suddenly discovered on the ship's side that the enemy in front of me had moved into the offshore area. This was probably not to avoid the undercurrent on the open sea, but an adjustment made to minimize the final destination of the escape." . From the chart, we can find that a straight line extends from our current position to the opponent's position, and the end of the straight line is the Wriston Port located 120 nautical miles away! "

"You mean the other party is fleeing to Wriston Port?"

Hobro looked away from the map and raised his head to look at Roland. Lefebvre. Said, "As an experienced naval commander. You know very well that the outcome of this pursuit battle lies in whether you can stop the enemy before he can safely hide in the port. If you can judge the sailing direction of the opponent's fleet in advance, you can We can send a squadron in advance to intercept from other angles, but if the opponent takes the straightest route, the possibility of intercepting it will be very low! Even if we know the opponent's destination, there is nothing we can do."

"No. On the contrary, I think this is our chance!"

Roland. Lefebvre took a deep breath and said, "The other party will definitely think it is absolutely safe, but ignores a very important issue, that is, there are huge heavy warships among the other party's warships. These warships will delay the speed of the entire fleet. If We can use light ships with superior speed to form an interception fleet, go around the opponent's side, and set up an ambush outside the destination port of Liston. The main fleet will follow us. When the time comes, we will attack from both front and back, and we will definitely be able to severely damage the enemy!"

"This is a good idea! But who will lead this fleet?"

Hobro expressed his approval of this battle plan based on his rich experience, but who should we send to command this fleet that is separated from the main fleet and may even end up in a deadly battle? Commander Hobro's face showed a trace of solemnity!

Under Hobro's gaze, the commanders and admirals of other fleets lowered their heads one after another, and some even cursed in a low voice, "This is a plan to commit suicide. It is simply asking for death. It's fine if the other party escapes. Why bother?" It’s a fight to the death!”

"What? No one is willing?" A trace of disappointment flashed in Hobro's eyes. The defeat of the Third and Fourth Fleets, and the blood of thousands of Congolese soldiers, ultimately failed to make these naval admirals glow with the sacrificial heart that belongs to soldiers.

"If no one else will, I wish I could!"

A young voice sounded, Roland. A man stood next to Lefebvre, with dark blond hair and a straight and handsome figure. He was the one who came back from the Third Fleet to report a message and was then killed by Roland. Rousseau Wangerda whom Lefebvre took as his adjutant

"You?" Hobro looked at the young man, a sharp light flashed in his old and deep eyes. He knew that the outside world did not have a good reputation for this young officer. He had escaped from battle twice in a row and had been The outside world ridiculed him as "Lucky Rousseau Wangerda", but in this young man, Hobro felt that he saw a glimmer of hope for the navy.

"Is there anyone else?"

Hobro did not agree immediately, but looked at the others,

Everyone was silent. An interception fleet composed of light warships wanted to block a huge fleet with a heavy fleet and giant warships. This itself meant tragedy and sacrifice. The commander who executed such a plan must be determined to die. faith! The result of the front and rear pincer attack is most likely to be at the expense of the complete annihilation of the blocking fleet. The enemy who is advancing with all their strength in order to survive will tear apart any enemy in front like a ferocious pack of wolves, let alone these enemies who have just been torn apart. The Third Fleet and the Fourth Fleet!

"Well, it seems that everyone will have no objection to this appointment!" Hobro turned to look at the young man whose body was as straight as a sword, and showed a rare smile. "From now on, I appoint Rousseau. Wangdar is the commander of the Seventh Assault Fleet. According to this authority, you can select thirty warships from each fleet that are suitable for this battle. Let's set out tonight and let's meet at Wriston Port!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, see you at Wriston Port!"

Rousseau Vandal stood upright with excitement on his face, saluted respectfully to the white-haired commander-in-chief, turned around and walked out of the meeting. He regarded this appointment as the last chance to clear his name. If he failed, then Just die bravely to silence those guys!
