On the turbulent sea, the two fleets met unexpectedly as if fate, and the port of Antolus in the distance was filled with flames, and the black smoke that rose into the sky attracted the attention of the unknown fleet, "Do you know who the other party is?" A middle-aged man with a dignified expression appeared on the bow of the flagship of the unknown fleet, looking into the distance, looking at the figure of the third detachment speeding away from the sea in the distance with a condescending eye, the bursting sea breeze carved too many wrinkles on his face, the sea engraved too many memories on his body, leaving dense scars, and also closely linked his life and the battleship,

The dark eyes of the middle-aged man looked at the black smoke that was rising into the sky in the distance and the flames that were still burning at the location of the port, and the wreckage of the ships blocking the port abounded, although it was far away, a flaming port facility could be seen collapsing, and the entire port of Antolus was almost like a legendary area

"It's a bunch of daring pirates who don't have the spirit of a navy!"

The answer was a young officer standing beside him, wearing a crisp dark black military uniform, handsome appearance, with a high nose bridge and thin lips, outlining a resolute and energetic face, "Pirates, dare to attack a port with a fully assembled garrison fleet, have you ever seen such a pirate!" The middle-aged man said with a displeased face to the young officer's answer,

His name is Merenti, one of the three admirals of the Imperial Coast Guard, he was ordered to transfer from the Northern Sea to the south of the Empire, and was inadvertently attracted by the inexplicable rolling thunder, and standing beside him was his second son, an officer who had just been transferred to the Imperial Fleet, his fleet had 43 warships, including 17 huge five-story warships and 26 other frigates, such a number and tonnage were enough to rank in the top three among the six cruise fleets of the Empire

"Father, you have too many worries" The young officer smiled disdainfully at the corner of his mouth, obviously looking down on the Third Fleet's hit-and-run behavior, and said confidently, "As a person who conquers the sea, he doesn't even have the courage to face the enemy, such an enemy, even if it is unusual."

"Can he still defeat that cunning Ruhl, and even if he is, he will not be able to escape from his father's hands? Who can blame this, a seaway hub like Antorus is like a treasure of endless wealth for pirates" The young officer shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Even if 300 pirates are executed in a year, it is still difficult for them to retreat, so the best way is to completely block the possibility of going to sea!"

The sound of footsteps sounded softly behind him, and a respectful and flattering voice sounded behind the two of them, "Lord Marquis really deserves to be one of the three major admirals of the Imperial Navy, and his prestige is grand, just because he is just mighty, he has already frightened the other party and fled!" A middle-aged nobleman with a smile on his face appeared beside him, and his flattering gesture was like the humblest servant seeing the most noble master and longing to lie on the ground and lick his toes.

"How did this sycophant come up?"

Seeing this middle-aged nobleman, the young officer's face showed unconcealable displeasure, the person who came was called Curs a Normandy merchant, the reason why the fleet would be diverted to the waters of Antolus this time was because this Curos was going to cross Antolus back to Normandy, because the Duchy of Normandy was the most important supply point of the Imperial Navy in the Middle Sea, so under normal circumstances, the Imperial fleet would also agree to this kind of hitchhiking

"What's up ahead? Oops, there's fire everywhere!" Coors leaned on the side of the ship, looking out toward the smoke in the distance, and let out a burst of exclamations from his mouth

"If I'm not mistaken, the port of Antolus in front should be a port belonging to your principality," Mirony asked Curs with a surprised look on the expression on the other party's face, no matter how it sounded, there was a hint of schadenfreude,

"It was a month ago, but now it belongs to the Dunkels!" said Curles, grinning at the corners of his mouth, "supposedly to avoid some danger from across the sea, although I don't know what it is, but at the moment it seems to be a wise decision, and it is a little scary to say, if it is still our port, maybe I will be on it."

"Across the sea?" "Across the sea?" Mirony's face was stunned for a moment, and then showed a joy that could not be concealed, he raised his head to look at the Third Squadron that had not completely disappeared on the sea level in the distance, and shouted loudly that the fastest assault ships in the team, the June Flower and the Giffin, would immediately attack! "What's wrong father?" Seeing Mirony, who suddenly changed his mind, the young officer's face was full of confusion, "The other party is not a pirate, but a navy,!" Mirondy's cold face turned a trace of cold killing intent, and he clenched his fists and said fiercely. The Imperial Navy has received a lot of reports from the coastal defense line in the past six months, there is an unknown fleet, has been wandering on the Imperial coastal defense line, but the repeated search has no eyebrows, there is no doubt, we are encountering them, "Yes, the other side has attacked the port of Antoros, this is a declaration of war, **naked declaration of war!" Coors said with added fuel and vinegar next to him, "If you can catch them, your lordship's merits will completely overshadow the admirals of other fleets! You will be the real commander of the Imperial Navy!" The empire's eastward advance was blocked, and if the Lord could send this report of victory representing the conquest of the infidels to the Jade Terrace Room of His Majesty the Emperor Xià without stopping. When the time comes, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be proud of his most combative and talented navy, and even shed tears of gratification. Coors said with a smile on his face. Every word made Mirony's face a little more recognized,

His small eyes looked around, and after he was sure that it was safe, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "The half-year election is coming, and the Imperial Navy will also make new appointments, I think if you have a merit, Your Majesty will definitely reconsider the choice of commander of the Navy." ”

"Pay attention to the words, it's so arrogant!" Mirony was visibly surprised, but there was a very useful look on her face, commenting on the Imperial election, if it were on land. It will be a very taboo thing, even if you are a noble nobleman, you can't escape the fate of being imprisoned, but now in this vast ocean, it can still be pleasantly accepted,

"Father, I think this possibility exists! It's not on land, it's on the ocean. At this time, I believe that in addition to ourselves, those guys in other fleets must also have the same thoughts,

Otherwise, why are they, like us, not staying at the naval headquarters at this sensitive moment, but going to their respective waters to fight piracy, contact coastal countries, expand their prestige, and seek support!" The young officer also agreed, with a thick unwillingness in his tone, "I think what Young Master McAlis said is too right, so bold and visionary. Sure enough, it's the blood of Lord Mirondy!" Seeing Mirondy's quiet and happy acceptance of his own proposal, the Norman Coors suddenly smiled.

He knew that his future had added another weight, and that he could pull one of the three major admirals of the Imperial Navy, Mironty, had another layer of certainty about the mission objectives assigned by his sovereign, and he began to raise his voice and said excitedly

"Compared to other seas, the strategic location of Antolus is the most important, it connects the Northern Sea with the Inland Sea of the Empire, it is the throat between the two seas, as long as it is controlled. It is possible to completely cut off the connection between the northern part of the empire and the outside world, and according to the island of Antoros, such an important strategic goal can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and it is absolutely impossible to fall into the hands of the enemy, and it is believed that the news of the attack on the port of Antolus will soon be transmitted back to the empire.

At that time, the empire will inevitably be shaken, and after the defeat on land, the empire's always stable coastal defense has also been humiliated, and the lord will resolutely and completely crush the invasion from the infidels with the momentum of Mount Tai, and restore the dignity and glory of the empire, which will inevitably become the headline of the empire's war report at the first time, when the whole country lost 100,000 troops for the failure of the eastward march to the silence, this victory of the lord is undoubtedly a meter of sunshine to dispel the dark clouds of the empire,

"But.

......" Mirony's face was a little hesitant, "I left the predetermined area without permission and rushed to the unfamiliar sea to attack, I was afraid that there would be unpredictable dangers

Curs's eyes rolled, and he smiled in a low voice in understanding, bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency's caution is really admirable, although these heretics are so ignorant of life and death, but the empire is in such a situation, the country urgently needs a victory to stir up the hearts of the fallen people, now that they have encountered it, how can they let it go, and they only have four warships, it is really a godsend!" There are 40 warships in the adult fleet, in order to make the sullen Emperor Xià smile happily, for the stability of the imperial coastal defense, and in order to shock those infidels who don't know the height of the sky, I reluctantly ask the adults to clean up the garbage for the empire, don't you say?" "Make up your mind, father," said the young officer Maiaris, "think of the admirals of the other fleets, who must be longing for such an opportunity at this moment!" But let's meet it, this is a rainbow opportunity, and if you miss it, you will be damned."

At this moment, a sailor of the fleet came running over and reported, "I have just received a request for help from the port of Antoros, the Deputy Minister of Coastal Defense, Lord Roelle, who is on the island, and he has asked us to dock immediately and escort him back to the Empire!" Mironty turned his head to look in the direction of the port, and frowned, he was not a faction with Roire in the navy, but Roire, as the deputy head of the Ministry of Coastal Defense, was half a level older than himself in terms of rank, and most importantly, the other party was the deputy head of the Ministry of Coastal Defense, although he could not directly command the cruise fleet, but he was also an important person in charge of the overall defense of the imperial seas "Father, the fighter plane is ahead, we don't have that idle time!" Everyone knows that Roire's guy is supporting Admiral Ambil, even if we really go to save him, he won't buy our love, the enemy has withdrawn, it is safer to stay on the island than to take it on a ship, I believe that Roire's guy also knows this deeply, the reason why he wants us to dock is completely because he doesn't want to see us make unattainable feats, he is such a despicable villain, what is there to hesitate!" Mistress Merenti, although I am not a soldier, I know what it means to be like a shooting star, and I will never come again."

Curles looked at Mironty with a holy face, "Compared with the dignity of the empire, does the safety of an island need to be cared too much about? Even the honorable Lord Roelle, with his noble character, after this battle, I believe he will express his understanding!" "Noble?" Hearing the words of the Norman Curles, Mirony almost laughed out loud, if a scum like Roelle can be linked to nobility, even the most despicable guy like the gutter can probably be described as a knight,

But this excuse is not bad, even if it is traced afterwards, he can use the encouragement of the dignity of the empire, summon all his courage, pursue for hundreds of miles, and grasp the fighter plane to give the enemy a fatal blow as a reply As long as this battle is won, even the figure behind this guy can only choose to remain silent, "In that case, so be it!" Order, the fleet immediately sped up! The two fastest assault ships in the fleet, the June Flower and the Giffin, acted as the vanguard and lined up for pursuit!"

With the order given, the two famous fast warships of the Imperial Navy soared out two eye-catching white lines on the sea, and the sharp bows of the ships split the waves like sharp blades, and galloped towards the direction of the Falcon fleet in the distance, the thirty-nine warships of the fleet were full of sails, and as the speed became faster and faster, the waves split by the bow became higher and higher, and the ripples spread farther and farther, and the sound of the turbulent waves completely broke the silence of the sea.

"I will be the youngest admiral of the Empire!" Mirony silently recited this name in his heart, which made his blood boil, and stood straight on the bow of the ship, letting the increasingly fierce sea breeze blow his hair, and on the sea level in the distance, the shadows of 4 small black dots rose and fell with the waves, he seemed to see that the dawn of victory had illuminated himself, and this battle would definitely allow him to ascend to the throne of his dreams

Between the sea and the sky, there was a golden winged flag fluttering high, and then a dense mast, like a sharp sword piercing into the blue sky. In less than half an hour. A huge fleet appeared about four nautical miles in front of Frye, with forty warships, covering the sky and the sun, and coming in the wind and waves, giving people a strong sense of earthquake and deterrence

Even Fry, who had faced countless deaths, could feel the blood burning all over his body, and his face felt tense and tingling

"Bastard, it looks like you've been bitten!" Frye put down the goggles in his hand, his face turned red and white because of excessive anger, although the withdrawal of the Third Fleet was quite timely, but the other party's support fleet came too suddenly, almost without warning,

Now the pursuit formation of the other party was obviously about to bite their own posture to death, and the two fleets dragged on the sea for nearly an hour, one after the other. The rapid and sharp sound of the battleship splitting the waves resounded throughout the sea, and the dragon's tooth battleship brush drew a long wave on the calm sea surface because of the rapid rotation, and the sea water was also driven by the fierce movement of the ship.

The bulky dragon class made the speed of the entire fleet unable to raise it, and Fry could only stare at the situation, he could only order the sailors to kick all the debris piled up on the deck into the sea, including those broken wine bottles, and some empty gunpowder wood, and the sailors also quickly ran up to clean the deck, but the use of this did not have much effect on the huge body of the dragon class.

In any case, it is impossible to give an order to abandon the dragon-level flagship, and now I can only find a way to spend it until dark!

With this in mind, Frye ordered the fleet to turn to the reef area of the island chain, although the size of the Dragon-class battleship is too bulky, and it is easy to run aground in the reef area, but the opponent has more five-story large warships,

Turning into the reef area will inevitably make the other party dare not be too presumptuous, the speed of pursuit has to be reduced, as long as it cannot form a situation of siege on all sides, the detachment has the hope of protruding, obviously, Merenti also saw the intention of fleeing the enemy, he immediately ordered the assault ships to surround it, as much as possible to interfere with the largest warship in the middle of the enemy, Merenti also saw that the largest warship is the opponent's biggest weakness, as long as it can hit it hard, it will inevitably make the other party fall into an inseparable deathmatch situation

"Order the Dragon Tooth Ship No. 13 on the left flank to prepare and take out the enemy's assault ship"

Looking at the two extremely fast assault ships of the enemy that turned an arc not far away, getting closer and closer, Fletcher's face was as heavy as ice water, and he said calmly, his voice was very low, in order to cover the dragon class, the other three dragon tooth ships were gradually lined up in a side-chord to face the enemy's horizontal formation, and the 5 black hole holes on the right side of the dragon tooth ship 13 were pushed out, and the thunder god who had been holding back for a long time once again made a deafening roar on the sea surface,

"What was that just now?" Seeing this scene, Mirony's face froze for a moment, and the white smoke came out from the side of the enemy warship like a trick, and the "pop" water wave flew fiercely, rolling up a large ten-meter water column, in these water columns, the hull of the assault ship on this side just shook a little, and passed through safely, but the huge waves that rolled up like magic also made Mirenti stunned,

Because it was fired in the process of moving the warship, Thor's accuracy was extremely poor, and a lot of shells almost fell in front or behind the assault ship, the scene was very thrilling, but this also scared the assault ship enough, and hurriedly chose to sail to the outside line.

"I guess it's some kind of pagan trebuchet."

With experience, Mironty made a rough judgment, but did not know that this judgment of his was leading his fleet to the point of no return, and the stalemate continued until the sun went down and the sky began to darken,
