Chapter 102: Ambush Begins

To put it mildly, Da Liang finally calmed Shu Xiao's restless heart and sent her out of the captain's room to let her get acquainted with his griffin.

Two hours later, the Blackfire fleet sailed against the wind to the northernmost point of Sidney's battle plan, and then the ships of the entire fleet turned southwest accordingly. The strong northeast wind blew the sails inflated, and the sailors pulled the rigging together to adjust the sails to the most windy position. The bow of the ship was sunk by the strong power, the sea water was chopped, and the huge waves from the bow hit the open deck, and the ship kept accelerating.

Da Liang is also constantly adjusting the position of the ship model on the combat map according to the position of the Black Fire Fleet and the troop transport fleet. The two fleets approached the apex on the map in a modeled manner along the two sides of a corner. As time passed, the models of the two fleets finally met on the map.

At this time, Shu Xiao's shout came from outside: "Master! Master! The target fleet really appeared, they were just to the south of us, and that NPC hero was really awesome...... That's right! ”

God!

Da Liang hurriedly rushed out of the captain's room and entered the bridge, where Shu Xiao was riding her royal griffin, perched on top of the mast and screamed and pointed to the sea in the distance. Da Liang immediately took out his binoculars and looked at the southern seas, and sure enough, a fleet had just appeared.

It's the troop fleet, that's right!

"All the captains of the Blackfire Fleet obey the order and raise the battle flag! Get ready for battle! ”

"The Black Fire Fleet temporarily set up the first sub-fleet, under the jurisdiction of the 'Skeleton Soldier', 'Iron Glove', 'Iron Boots', 'Iron Hat', 'Iron Plate Armor', the flagship 'Skeleton Soldier', fleet commander Sidney, responsible for the main combat mission of the enemy fleet;

"Shu Xiao, take off! Takeoff! ”

With Da Liang's successive orders, the three-masted battleship "Skeleton Soldier" raised its flagship flag, and the other warships also raised the battle flag to the top of the main mast, and then the First Fleet took advantage of its speed to break away from the "Black Fire" and approach the troop transport fleet.

After Shu Xiao received Da Liang's order, he took off with all the griffins, and in the process of gathering in the air, the three state magic were applied to them by the magic mages.

Advanced Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy

Advanced Body Protector Aegis

High Holy Spirit

And when Da Liang was about to cast a few more spells on the "Skeleton Soldier", he found that the First Fleet had already run out of the range of the magic mage.

So fast...... Sure enough, it was right to divide the First Fleet.

Sidney

Perk: Navigator (10% faster ships, 10% faster surface ships)

Stunt: Beginner Navigation (10% increase in ship speed)

Intermediate Offensive (10% increased melee damage)

Intermediate Artillery (10% increased gun damage)

After Sidney became the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet, under the double acceleration, the speed of the First Fleet soared, and it quickly cut inside towards the troop transport fleet.

Shu Xiao left 6 griffons to protect the "Black Fire" and hurriedly chased after it.

When the Blackfire Fleet discovered the troop transport fleet, the lookout on the mast of the "Coconut Tree" also saw the Blackfire Fleet, and saw that the fleet that suddenly appeared in the northern sea all raised the battle flag, and he shouted loudly to the deck below: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! At 11 o'clock in the north, the unknown direction of the fleet was approaching at high speed, and they had one three-masted battleship, four two-masted battleships, and one three-masted merchant ship. Note! This is not an exercise, this is not a drill, all personnel are ready to fight. Inform the captain that we are about to be attacked......"

The shouts of the lookouts threw chaos on the deck, centaurs, dwarves, and elves rushed out of the cabin, guns stripped of their coats, barrels of gunpowder were lifted, gun doors opened, and gunners looked out to clear the water weeds that were affecting their vision.

Captain Lucius rushed out of the captain's room as soon as he received the warning, and he stood on the bridge and looked at the fleets rushing from the north with his binoculars, and he couldn't help but gasp in his heart.

The enemy fleet rushed very fast, not only did they take advantage of the northeast wind, but the fleet commander should also have the ability to accelerate. Seeing that the enemy's battle flag is rushing towards him with a very clear purpose, it is obvious that he is coming from an ambush. Damn it...... Who the hell leaked it, and how did they know that my fleet would pass through this place at this time......

Spies! There must be spies in the upper echelons of Chongming City!

Lucius scolded, but he also knew that this was not the time to guess who was the spy, and that the fleet should be put into battle as soon as possible, otherwise it would be dangerous if his own fleet could not be formed by the enemy fleet.

"The fleet immediately carried out combat formations, all Pegasus knights rose into the air, pressed forward, and bought time for the fleet's tactical formation, and each battleship was responsible for the magic blessing of their respective Pegasus knights......"

In the troop transport fleet, the battleships accelerated to disengage from the troop carriers and prepared to form a battle line at sea to meet the enemy fleet. The two troop carriers deflected course with the intention of taking refuge in the left safety zone of the battleship.

One by one, the Pegasus Knights on each ship rose into the air, and one by one magic rose from the battleship and shot at the Pegasus Knights to which their own ships belonged. After the round, these Pegasus Knights flew together towards the onrushing enemy fleet under the leadership of several Silver Pegasus Knights.

Sidney stood next to the helmsman of the Skeleton, his left hand resting on the hilt of his sword and his right hand holding the bridge railing. His battleship was at the head of the entire fleet, and the high-speed hull set off wave after wave, splashing the water at his feet.

Not long ago, he was a pirate who didn't know if he would survive the next day. In the past, he was the captain of an ordinary brig of the Pudong fleet, and his duty was to deal with the philistine merchants except for patrolling. Once upon a time, his dream of joining the navy was to lead a fleet to fight a magnificent naval battle, but the fact was not what he imagined, if he wanted to be promoted in the Pudong fleet, identity was more important than ability, and gradually his dream was buried in his heart.

Now a powerful battleship is at his feet, and a powerful fleet is behind him. The fleet that was in disarrayed ahead was his prey this time.

Sidney stared at the fleet in the distance and said in a low voice: "The naval battle on Flying Dust Island is really too low-level, only this kind of battle can excite me, only a fleet of this size is worthy of being destroyed by me." ”

At this time, all the Pegasus knights in the Hong Kong City troop transport fleet took off, and they simply formed a formation in the air and flew towards Sidney's fleet.

"All archers, be careful, do not let the enemy Pegasus knights come near our masts, protect our sails......"

As soon as Sidney's order was given, the griffon's cry came from the sky behind him, and then a large flock of griffons flew over the fleet, and large shadows quickly skimmed over the deck. The griffons arrived, and they flew low around the mast under the command of a royal griffin knight, keeping the sails of the First Fleet firmly guarded.

The Terran soldiers cheered at the griffons.

Sidney's iron-gloved hand slapped down heavily, fight!
