Chapter 270: Return to Shangjiang City
Da Liang was reluctant to reveal too many of his secrets, and Xu Man did not delve into it, too many temptations would only cause cracks in the tacit relationship between the two.
Xu Man knows what he can ask and what he can't ask. Just like the division of labor between her and Da Liang in the university alliance, Xu Man is in charge of the operation of the alliance and handles all internal and external affairs; Da Liang took over the military when necessary, and the Ruling Legion accepted the input of the Alliance, but was only responsible to Da Liang, even if Xu Man, the deputy commander of the Legion, as long as Da Liang was in the command position, she would not interfere in the affairs of the Adjudralizing Legion, which was also clearly recorded in the membership regulations of the Adjudating Legion.
It is precisely because of this tacit understanding that the University Alliance, a student organization with internal and external hidden dangers, has maintained its nature and grown step by step.
And there are many student organizations like the University Alliance in the hero world, but they are either weak and unable to develop, or they sell dog meat on the head of a sheep and become a vassal of others.
After Xu Man and Da Liang discussed the arrangements for this war, they gave Da Liang a sum of money and then went to prepare for the war with the combined fleet of Japan and South Korea tomorrow.
The Chinese Northern Fleet can no longer retreat.
2,000,000 gold coins.
These were part of the assistance Xu Man received from the gold merchants, and part of the money was used to pay for the brig blueprints he obtained from Da Liang, and part of the money was for Da Liang to order new warships, so that when the ruling fleet came out of the Sea of Japan, it could quickly recover its combat effectiveness and put it into the battlefield.
Da Liang directly asked the Black Flame Collar Shipyard to build 100 speed-enhanced dhow No. 1 ships, and it was cheaper to use his own shipyard to spend money to build them than the Pudong Shipyard at a discount. Not only the bare ship, but all the guns on the battleship can be produced by themselves.
The Black Flame Collar has a shipyard on Aoba Island, with 10 shipbuilding slots, which can build 10 sloops or repair 10 ships below the brig class at the same time.
With this capacity alone, it is impossible to complete 100 sloops in a short time. However, the Black Fire Collar had already built its own group of dhows, and Da Liang dispatched 100 sloops from his own group to the sea off the river to stand by, and the warships were slowly replenished with new ships.
Troops began to move under orders, most of them unaware of what they were doing, but it was this ignorant player who slowly formed a large battle plan.
The day passed, and night fell again on the sea.
Under Da Liang's order, the main force of the ruling fleet quietly turned 180 degrees and sailed south.
The group of dhow battleships originally arranged on the periphery continued to sail, and Shu Xiao took the air combat unit of the Ruling Legion to act with the group of sloops. They cooperated to establish a large isolation circle at sea, and the Japanese and South Korean dhows that tracked them no longer had the ability to break through the isolation circle and conduct close reconnaissance.
The ruling fleet insisted on course from the beginning, a large number of players arrived in Wave Spring City, and the arrogant speech of Daliang. All left an impression in everyone's imagination that the target of the Adjudicating Fleet was the city of Kraskinno, and the center of this circle was where the main force of the Adjudicating Fleet was located.
And now the main force of the ruling fleet is breaking away and sailing south.
At this time, the East Asian naval war was about to break out, and almost all ships on both sides of the Sea of Japan were involved in the war, and even fishing boats carried gunpowder, artillery shells, and various supplies to the front line. And the battleships sailed either south to the battlefield, or north to the city of Klaskinno.
All the ships sailed along the near-ocean currents and sailed at maximum speed, and the already busy depths of the Sea of Japan became difficult to see a single ship.
Shu Xiao followed the shell fleet to continue to confuse the enemy, Julian with a small number of air combat personnel to provide high-altitude reconnaissance for the main force of the ruling fleet, and thirteen brigs and ten sloops secretly marched in a dense formation in the hinterland of the Sea of Japan.
After a night of sailing, the main force of the ruling fleet avoided the South Korean dhows that were tracking, and also gave up the new Boxer fleet of Yagami-an.
As daylight came, the fleet sailed more cautiously.
Da Liang handed over the sailing route of the fleet to the backstage personnel and returned to Shangjiang City by himself.
Joyce and Bartlett are also back.
Archangel Nelson had already arrived at the Shangjiang Fleet with the supporting Angel troops, and Joyce immediately handed over the command of the fleet to Nelson.
After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the Shangjiang fleet has locked the victory, and Archangel Nelson, as Joyce's deputy, has rich experience in naval warfare, and there is no problem at all in handing over an endgame to Nelson.
Finding Howard is more important than anything else, so Joyce and Bartlett hurriedly return to Shangjiang City from the "Oath" through the time portal.
Da Liang, who also returned, met with Joyce and Bartlett at the palace with the current Consul of Shangjiang, Duke Joshua.
Joyce told Joshua about the battle at sea.
Da Liang also slightly modified the matter of his meeting with the Dreaddemon King Erges and said briefly: "Ergers does not want the strength of hell to enter Shangjiang City, and Divine Bella judges that he will personally kill those big demons, and then he can take the opportunity to catch him." I didn't expect Ergels to give me a badge to get rid of these big demons.
This also proves the judgment of Holy Bella and Eggus, that Hell did participate in this war, and it is also very likely that it is the fallen angels of Hell who attack His Majesty inside the portal.
I think the city lord of Qingpu City, Marquis Macaulay, may know something, he himself is very good at space spells, maybe he is the one who attacked His Majesty. ”
In fact, Joshua, Joyce, and Bartlett all guessed that the Great Demon who attacked the "Oath" came from Hell, and now it is only confirmed by the Great Bright.
Hell actually wants to enter Shangjiang City, plus the two Demon Lord Kings and the Holy Bella, Shangjiang City is simply at the center of this dimensional war, and if you are not careful, it will become a battlefield between Cloud City and Hell, and the city will be directly erased.
Today's Shangjiang City needs King Howard even more to lead them through the difficulties.
But if it was the Fallen Angels of Hell who attacked Howard himself, then the chances of Howard still surviving were very small.
Joshua said, "I will give you time to find His Majesty the King of the East China Sea, and I will do my best to delay the leakage of His Majesty's disappearance." But you should also know what Shanggang Castle is facing at this time, although we have defeated Jeju Castle this time, Hell will definitely not give up. They have seen the influence of the Hell Lord King over the demons, and the fallen angels will only be more desperate to enter our city.
This is a matter of life and death for the fallen angels, and Cloudsdale cannot hold off hell for too long.
And a Shangjiang city without a king will only perish.
You can now mobilize all the forces of Shangjiang City to find Your Majesty, and whatever you do is within my permission. But...... Once the news of His Majesty's disappearance leaks out, I hope you can support me as king, and I guarantee that Shangjiang City will still be the main city of the human race. ”
