"It must be the ghost of Yun Xiaohan on the imperial side, his plot progress is 200% complete, maybe the Ollista leader did not support the Arcane Council in this battle, but supported the Central Empire."

"Khan, no, then they don't want to have one more army, then they will also have 2 armies, the same as the Austrian side, so if they are not careful, it is really possible for them to win, then it will be a shame!"

"I think this possibility is quite high, there was not a battle before, the imperial side won the support of the northern territory, the completion of the imperial side did not exceed 100% that time, this time the completion of the imperial side is 200%, and it will definitely be able to get the support of other forces, not to mention one more army, it is not impossible to have two more armies!"

"That's a problem, let's just get rid of the NPCs and take Cagliari City ourselves."

"Our strength is too weak, it is difficult to succeed in attacking the city alone, and in case of another accident in the NPC troops after the division of troops, it will be over, and the NPC will not let us leave, just raise an objection, and the favorability has plummeted."

"Neither left nor right, are we just waiting here?"

"Now we have to wait, I hope the fleet can come back soon."

"What if the fleet doesn't come back?"

"It's impossible, the imperial camp doesn't have a navy, and it will definitely come back, it's a matter of time."

"I hope so!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The meeting of the Arcanian Council was even more tangled, because the situation they faced was even more awkward, the fleet wanted to be able to evacuate, the loss of the fleet was too great, and if the other two fleets of the merchant alliance returned, they would have no power to resist at all, and they would also be blocked in the harbor, and it would not be easy to run.

However, the army did not agree to their retreat, as long as the fleet withdrew, the merchant allies would definitely attack, and without the cover of naval guns, the Austro-French Council had no chance.

The two sides are deadlocked, and the watchful cloud is naturally on the side of the army as a player, and the possible losses of the fleet are not directly related to the player, but if the fleet retreats, once the merchant alliance attacks, the Austrian and French sides will inevitably not be able to win, and the interests of the players cannot be guaranteed.

The fleet proposed to let the army re-board the ship, and look for another opportunity, this proposal was directly rejected, the reason is very simple, now that the army has landed, if the merchant alliance fleet really comes back, the army will never want to land, and can only be a spectator in this battle, because the remaining fleet of the Austrian and French sides now, no port can be defeated.

This result is obviously unacceptable to both the NPC army and the player.

After discussing for a while but there was still no result, the player's interests first, and the characteristics of not being affected by the hatred of the camp were revealed, and the watchful cloud proposed that someone should be sent to talk to the business alliance, maybe there would be a turnaround.

Because there was no better way, the suggestion of the Overwatch was adopted by the Supreme Commander of the Arcane Council, "Viscount Timothy".

It didn't take long for the messenger to be driven back and whipped, and if it weren't for the efforts of the two deputy commanders, the messenger might have been executed directly by Viscount Hyderabad.

The refusal of the business allies to negotiate was a great disappointment to the Franco-Parliament.

At this time, the attitude of the fleet side was also more resolute, they felt that the fleet had done everything it could, and insisted on moving immediately and not waiting for death in the port.

The army naturally disagreed, they still hoped that there would be some accidents, and the merchant alliance fleet would not come back or would come back very late, so that the merchant alliance might leave because they couldn't wait and go to attack the city of Cagliari.

In desperation, Viscount Timothy could only promise the fleet that if the enemy fleet appeared, they would be allowed to surrender, and the responsibility would be borne by him.

Naturally, the Offa fleet wanted not this permission to surrender, but while they were arguing, a fleet suddenly appeared outside the port of Cagliari, and the Alpha Council was startled at first when it thought it was the Merchant Alliance's fleet, only to find out later that it was the Sea Lion fleet of the Sardinia Lord.

This left the Austro-French Parliament a little confused, but the Sea Lion Fleet would not allow them to think too much and immediately order them to surrender or else attack.

The original ships of the Sea Lion Fleet, plus some of the captured ships, had more than 100 combat ships at this time, and even if many of them were damaged, they also had an overwhelming advantage over the remnants of the Upper Austrian Council.

The commander of the Austrian fleet suddenly remembered the surrender permission at this time, and he told Viscount Timothy that the fleet was going to surrender, and the only thing he could do now was to buy a little time for the army, and he advised Viscount Timothy to make a decision as soon as possible, and to negotiate with the business alliance to get an idea quickly, because after the fleet surrendered, the next Sea Lion Legion is likely to shell the Austrian army.

The Sea Lion Fleet did not give much time to the Arcane Parliament, and seeing that the Arcane Fleet was slow to react, they immediately began to attack.

The Austro-French fleet had no choice but to hoist the white flag, and their surrender meant that four fleets had been captured by the Sea Lion Legion, a merchant fleet of the Minister of Commerce, a transport fleet of the Arcane Council, and two battle fleets with only a handful of remnants.

The NPCs of the Arcane don't know what is going on, but the players don't, and they immediately realize that the Sea Lion Legion in front of them is the support of the 200% completion of the Imperial side, but they didn't expect it to be a hidden force that has not appeared in previous battles.

It's a pity that it's not the players who can call the shots, but the NPCs.

Fortunately, Viscount Timothy was not stupid, he had already sent an emissary again, and at the same time, his army began to move forward to get out of the range of naval artillery, but because the merchant alliance was stuck outside the port, in order to really completely leave the range of the sea lion fleet, they had to break through the merchant alliance's army.

At this time, the merchant alliance can only see a fleet coming back from a distance, but the specific situation is too far away to be seen clearly, which makes many NPC soldiers and players of the merchant alliance mistakenly believe that their own fleet is back.

So when they found out that the Austrian army began to move forward, they immediately took the initiative to attack, and the first to attack was the players of the merchant alliance.

The soldiers and players below couldn't figure out the situation, but the higher-ups of the Shang Alliance were shocked and panicked.

When the previous envoy saw Viscount Hyderabad again, he only asked a question: "May I ask Your Excellency, has the Business Alliance received the support of the Sea Lion Legion?" ”

Hearing this question, Viscount Hyderabad, who was originally feeling good about the arrival of the fleet, was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed greatly, the merchant alliance had never sought the support of the Sea Lion Legion.

And the question of the messenger in front of him also shows that the Sea Lion Legion does not support the Arcane Council, so it is self-evident which camp it supports.
