The bleak sun shone on the decks of these ruined battleships that returned to Port Antolus with the waves, and Fleet Admiral Merendi hesitated as he glanced at the entrance completely blocked by wreckage,

He said to his son Myronlis, "Order the fleet to turn left! There is a yellow tidal flat in the recess of the left flank of the island, because it has been used as a staging place for smuggling ships for transshipment all year round, and that place is very secret, even the navy on the island does not know this, let alone the enemy who is not very clear about the harbor, I believe that it can be used as a place for the fleet to dock!" "Yes, father!" This time, Myronlis nodded unexpectedly, without any rebuttal, not even a trace of hesitation, looking at his son who was silently walking towards the stern command post, the pupils in the eyes of Fleet Admiral Merendi flashed a trace of coldness.

Compared with the previous unruliness, the son at the moment seems to have more of a naval officer should have a look, after last night's baptism of blood and fire, his own previously arrogant and complacent son, giving people a feeling of growing up overnight, the tragic naval battle picture, seems to be hovering in everyone's minds, that battle, must have shattered this guy's pride and dreams,

The corners of Merendi's mouth involuntarily showed a wry smile, as a father, why don't you want to show your wisdom and strength as much as possible in front of your son, but as an imperial admiral, let the younger generation know the true definition of the navy,

Not only the glitz full of victory and glory, but also the arduous battle of iron and blood, the collision of faith and belief, and the courage to make decisions at critical moments are those things that are more important on the glossy surface.

In the tense port of Antoros, when they found out that the incoming fleet was their own Imperial warship, the alarm bell in the harbor stopped, and the Dunkel people, who were cleaning up the ruins of the port, raised their heads and looked blankly at the fleet in the distance and suddenly stopped on the sea

Fei Wu, the admiral of the Antolus defense fleet, stood excitedly on a broken wall in the harbor, and the sun above his head shone down, dragging a long shadow on the broken wall

He had already received a report from the port, and judging by the fleet flag hoisted on the battleship, it was likely to be the Merendi Patrol Fleet, one of the main fleets, which made his battered heart burn again.

As one of the main fleets that the Imperial Navy is proud of, Lord Merendi's fleet ranks third among the main forces of the Imperial Navy, second only to the Borodi fleet on the northern sea border and the Antokaton fleet guarding Antokaton, the center of the Empire's coastal waters

However, he soon found that the black spots and full of battleships that could be seen on the sea were only a dozen or so, "Is this still Lord Merendi's fleet?" one and two ......" Admiral Fei Wu froze, his eyes were bloodshot and shocked, and he kept sweeping the sea, trying to search for shadows outside the fleet,

It's a pity that he was disappointed, there was no shadow of other warships on the empty sea, and even if he could see it, most of them looked like eggplants that had been beaten by frost, and the sides of the thick battleships were full of potholes and debris, the masts were crooked, and the sails on them were cut off in large pieces, and on several battleships, you could still see sailors pouring water out, and I don't know how they got here.

The Merendi fleet, known as one of the main forces of the Empire, arrived with only 16 ships this time, less than half of the estimated number of warships

"Could it be that even Lord Merendi's fleet has failed?" A deep sense of frustration and hesitation permeated the heart of this local admiral who dreamed of entering the Imperial fleet, and at this moment he had a hint of luck, although as a local admiral, he was not as good as the main fleet of the Empire in terms of status, title and fame, but at least one thing was not bad, that is, he didn't have to go to the ocean to fight, and he didn't have to be swallowed by the sea because of defeat" What, you said that Merendi's fleet is coming?"

In the Governor's Palace on the island, Luo Ailei, the deputy chief of the Imperial Coastal Defense, who had just been helped back to his room by the attendants, was as if he had been wound up at the moment when he received the news of the arrival of the Merendi fleet, and ran to the carriage that he had parked at the door and had not yet left at a speed that was beyond the reach of the attendants, "Quick, go to the port!"

Roelle jumped into the carriage very disregarding his identity, and his ship was also damaged in that raid due to the chaotic steering of the wingmanship, and now he can only be stranded on this lonely island of Antoros, although the scenery here is beautiful, the sea and the sky are colorful, and you can enjoy the magnificent sunset and moonrise on the sea when you open the window, in order to please this frightened big man in the port, the governor Gilli Fei even let his favorite mistress accompany him, but what the Marquis of Roelle wanted to do most was to leave this dilapidated place as if it had suffered a natural disaster,

It's terrible, when I think of the chaos of rumbling explosions everywhere around me and the chaotic scene of people running around, this deputy minister of coastal defense felt cramps in his legs and stomach, how unfortunate he was, and how lucky,

It is unfortunate that a man who is so delicate and knows how to avoid danger could be in this wrong place at the wrong time, fortunately look at the poor governor of the place who is still in pain,

The poor fellow, who had stood less than half a meter away from him, had been shot with a burst of explosive shards that had bypassed him and pierced the Governor's normally upright belly, and that he had only fallen into ashes, which was unbelievably lucky, if that splinter had hit him...... Luo Ailei didn't dare to think about it, he was forty-one years old, but he was not married, and he had a lot of illegitimate children, "no matter how good things are, they need life to enjoy"

These are the words that the old Marquis Roire, who was surrounded by more than 20 flowery women at his sixteenth birthday coming-of-age ceremony, personally taught his son, which has also become the life principle of the deputy minister of coastal defense

"Stop, your wagon has been used, we need it to transport the wounded" A group of disheveled sailors who were walking from the direction of the tidal flats with tired faces stopped his wagon

"Bastard, this is the carriage of Lord Roere, the deputy head of the Ministry of Coastal Defense! Even your Lord Governor can only nod his head in front of Lord Roire," the coachman shouted angrily, causing a trace of hesitation to flash across the faces of the dozen sailors

"Roire...... Have you heard of it?" one sailor looked at the other,

"Sounds like a big man!" whispered the soldiers, and a sailor in a red scarf gave a cautious look at Roelle in the carriage, "It looks like yes, you see that guy is wearing a gorgeous dress!"

"Bastards, these scumbags deserve to be hanged."

Hearing that his noble name was being carried around by a few insignificant sailors, the Marquis of Roire, who was sitting in the carriage, was about to explode his lungs, and he was ready to step out of the carriage himself and slap these sailors who did not know the height of the sky

At this moment, from the direction of the dozen sailors, came a naval officer, a young officer in his twenties, with the right sleeve of his shirt empty and the naval insignia on his shoulder, indicating that he was a first mate

"Captain......

You see. The sailors looked at the carriage with embarrassed expressions, and although they were not nobles, they could also tell that the other party was a big man, or at least a high nobleman

"In the name of the Imperial Navy, can Your Excellency help us?" the young officer came to the carriage with some nervousness, raised his head and said with a very sacred mouth, and the coachman in front of him turned his head to look at Roelle in the carriage

"How can you help?" Roire poked out half of his head, his face was gloomy, and as soon as the other party opened his mouth, it was in the name of the Imperial Navy, which made it difficult for him, the deputy director of the Ministry of Coastal Defense, to refuse directly, "We need to requisition this carriage!" The officer secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the name of the Imperial Navy was indeed effective

He saluted Roire with a respectful look and said, "My lord, there are still a lot of wounded soldiers on our warship, and since this is not a port, we can only use our own methods to send them to the doctor! Otherwise, they will all die of infection!" "Wounded soldiers, are you sailors of the Merendi fleet?" Roire said with a cold face, "Yes, I am the first mate of the fleet Ansari, and these sailors are all from the fleet!" The officer replied with a stern expression, "You were defeated?" Roire's face became heavier and heavier, and he saw more and more sailors appearing on the road, and many people's eyes were focused on his carriage, which made him feel a wave of disgust, "No, we fought bravely! "Hey, Iyalik, why are you still grinding!"

In the midst of the crowd, an officer with a blood-soaked bandage on his head and a corpse on his right shoulder No, to be precise, half a corpse came over, and in a strange silence, the tall officer came to the carriage with a calm face,

He glanced at the Marquis of Roire, who was covering his nose with his hands and looking disgusted, his eyes showed two dangerous fierce lights, and after taking a deep breath, his voice was full of anger: "Is it terrible? This is my brother's corpse, I promised him that I would definitely let him return to land!"

"Well, what can I say directly, but please take this filthy corpse away, he is so disgusting!" Marquis Roire's face had lost its elasticity and luster, and took on a gray color,

"What is dirty! This is the body of a soldier who fought for the Imperial Navy, who paid for his life to fight the enemy, but lost his precious life because the commander fled!"

The expression on the officer's face and the corpse on his right shoulder were chilling.

"Imperial Navy, do you call it the Imperial Navy, rude fellow・・・・・・ I'm the Deputy Minister of the Imperial Coastal Defense Department, Rore, you will go to the gallows for offending the superior this time!"

Marquis Roire's eyes were full of fear, and even the voice of rebuke and scolding was lifeless, and he regretted it now, why didn't he wait for his attendants to follow

"Deputy Minister of Coastal Defense?" the sturdy naval officer was stunned for a moment, and said to himself, "First Class Sailor Pardo・・・・・・ this person is the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Coastal Defense Department that you fought so hard for."

"In that case, ask the second elder to give him a thankful hug as a reward for his loyalty!" The naval officer, who was full of anger, suddenly opened the door of the carriage, and threw the corpse of the soldier he was carrying on his right shoulder at the Marquis of Roere, and when he couldn't avoid it, the Marquis of Roire, almost reflexively, opened his arms and caught the corpse of the sailor who flew towards him, leaving only the upper half of his body, as if hugging each other. "Ahh The officer laughed loudly, and the sailors around him also laughed crookedly, in the Imperial Navy, everyone knew that the so-called Imperial Coastal Defense Department was the most useless department.

The so-called imperial coastal defense is completely something without any actual definition, surveying the front-line islands is called coastal defense, and resting naval ports is also called coastal defense, and the job is to go around and extort some property, and it is rumored that the Imperial Coastal Defense Department has millions of gold coins handed over to the Emperor every year, to put it bluntly, the Imperial Coastal Defense is mainly an idle department used by the Emperor to collect money, and as for the real fight, the old men of the Coastal Defense Department will immediately run away without a shadow,

The sound of the road was heard as a hurry, and the attendants who had just been dragged out of a distance just arrived at the scene, and when they heard the screams of Roire, they hurried their horses straight towards the sailors, "Get out of the way, do you want to die!" The attendants shouted proudly on their horses, and the frightened sailors got out of the way

"Kill him! Kill this impudent and presumptuous fellow. The Marquis of Roire, who had just crawled out of the carriage covered with minced flesh and blood, pointed at the officer and shouted at him, but the officer did not try to escape, but stood quietly, looking coldly at the pale Marquis of Roere, with a strange smile on his bloodstained and sad face.

Several knightly swords of the squire officers stabbed him from the front・・・・・・ "Boom!"

A blinding cold light lifted the squiggling swords of these squires, and a young and burly figure walked out of the crowd, "Do you want to kill a naval officer who fought all night for the Empire in front of the Imperial Navy?" "It's Myronlith!"

A low voice sounded from the sailors around, and the person who came out was the personal son of the fleet admiral Merendi, if the sailors of the fleet were still a little confused about the young master of the admiral, after a night of fierce fighting, this young admiral who was covered in blood, also took the lead in the battle like them, and took the lead in the charge many times, although he was forcibly pulled away by the guards in the end, but the figure of this young master has made many sailors remember him "Kill him, I want both of them to die!" The Marquis of Roire, who was already mad, shouted angrily to the attendants, "Are you just watching your brothers let people kill them?" Myronliss sword across his chest, "Damn, them!" The sailors around him had just experienced defeat, and he didn't know how much resentment was buried in his heart, and he was provoked by Myronlis, and immediately surrounded him excitedly, "What do you want to do...... I'm the deputy head of the Imperial Coastal Defense Department!" "Luo Ailei looked at the fierce sailors around him, and his face, which was still fierce just now, suddenly panicked, thousands of sailors surrounded him and more than a dozen attendants in the middle, many sailors had already drawn the short swords used for fighting at their waists, and those bloodshot eyes were eager to devour themselves alive, "My lord, I heard that Young Master Myronlis had a conflict with someone in front!" Melendi asked disapprovingly, "It seems to be Deputy Commander Roire!" The captain who came to report the news had a smile on the corner of his mouth that could not be concealed, "I heard that he was beaten very badly, first Roire wanted to kill one of our officers, then the young master ran out to administer justice, and then our sailors beat up, it's very messy!" "Roelly, how did the two of them come together?" Merendi raised his head in some surprise, frowned slightly, and asked, "Is anyone dead?" "No!" The captain said with a look of indignation. Although the fight was fierce, Young Master Myronlith still did not kill him, but only ordered someone to tie Deputy Chief Luo Ailei and a dozen of his attendants to the trunk of a tree on the side of the road for others to visit."

"It seems that after a night of training, this guy has also learned to grasp the scale!" Hearing this, Merendi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he waved his hand to the captain, "Forget it, I don't know about this matter! I believe that after such a while, at least that guy Luo Ailei will not have the face to harass us again in a short period of time, otherwise it will be really difficult to refuse to forcibly ask us to escort him away as the deputy director of the coastal defense department!"

"But this time I completely offended the Ministry of Coastal Defense!" the captain said with some concern

"Haven't you seen it yet" Merendi smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, looked at the sea in the distance and said, "On the other side of the sea, in that unknown land, a storm that will shake the entire imperial coastal defense is coming, in the face of this storm, how far will the old men of the coastal defense department hide and hide, do you still expect to be able to ask for help from them?"

"Did the Norman find it?" asked Melendi, as if thinking of something

"No, it was so chaotic at the time, it was probably sunk to the bottom of the sea with other warships!" said the captain with a hesitant face

"I don't know why, I always have a feeling that the Normans seem to have been hiding something from us, otherwise how could they suddenly let us take this route!" a chill flashed in Merendi's eyes
