Solomon Strait.

As a major transportation route, a large number of ships from the East and the West are moored at the pier at all times.

The towering forts and the permanent defensive fortifications add an impregnable majesty to the area, giving residents and merchants a great sense of security.

But in the past few days, the local governor, Viscount Quia from Innsman, seemed very uneasy.

Undoubtedly, he also knew about the main force of the navy to fight the pirates.

In fact, in order to complete the battle, Admiral Phili not only transferred Rear Admiral Jackson, but also took all the steam ironclads with him.

As a result, the naval strength of Solomon at this time fell into the lowest point.

Of course, in Admiral Firi's opinion, there are fortifications, and some original sailing ships, and the main pirate force is firmly watched by him, so there will be no surprise.

For the most part, it should be.

But what makes life so interesting is that there are often unexpected things happening, although Viscount Quia must not want to see it.

On the hillside next to the port, in the middle of the Governor's Mansion.

Elizabeth was dressed in a lady's dress, holding a delicate bone china teacup in her hand, and in front of her a few freshly baked honey cream snacks, exuding a sweet and seductive scent.

"Thank you, Goddess...... I'm back again! ”

She took a slow sip of the black tea, the warm and sweet taste that convinced her that she had finally escaped the pirate's nightmare and successfully returned to her loved ones.

"Miss, my lord hopes that you will be able to put on a costume and go to a banquet, where there will be many young talents who want to know you......"

A grandmother next to her came over and opened the exquisite gift box, which contained a delicate dress.

"No!"

Elizabeth opened the fan and fanned it quickly, and there was anger in her heart again.

Obviously, the marriage with Viscount Charlie is basically going to fall through.

The other party is a prominent family and is unlikely to accept a woman whose reputation is damaged - even if she is not physically harmed, reputation is often a little more important than substance.

Viscount Quia had already vaguely mentioned this matter to his daughter, and at this time, his attitude was directly revealed.

Since it is unlikely that the family is right, but the second son of some minor nobles, and even the lord, etc., can still be considered.

Thinking of the recent blind date 'chance encounters', and the inquisitive and contemptuous gazes of the young handsome, Elizabeth felt as if she had a knife cut at her.

"Miss, the lord has commanded, you must ......"

Mama was a little embarrassed.

"I said it...... No!! ”

Elizabeth accentuated her tone, feeling extremely depressed, and couldn't help but go to the balcony, looking at the sea not far away, and breathe deeply.

"My daughter!"

At this time, Viscount Quia, who was wearing a wig and dressed decently and elegantly, came behind Elizabeth.

"I don't understand...... Why did you do that, father? ”

Elizabeth doesn't mince words.

"I want you to know that I love you more than anyone else!"

Viscount Quia sighed: "It's just that the marriage with that Viscount is no longer possible, and the other party has become a laughing stock because of this period of time...... Those damn pirates! Hopefully, this time Admiral Firi will hang them all! Oh! I'm sorry...... I shouldn't have told you that. ”

"No, I want to know, that pirate, Rocky the Sorcer, became the Pirate King? And Admiral Phiri has taken away all the main forces in Solomon in order to crusade against him this time? ”

Elizabeth stared at her father.

"These are military secrets, how do you know?" Viscount Quia was taken aback.

"I have my channel!" Elizabeth smiled slyly, like a little fox: "When that Roach is hanged, I must go and see ......"

"Your wish will come true, Admiral Firi is a famous admiral of our navy, plus fifty steam ironclads, this is an invincible force on the ocean......"

Viscount Quia's voice was full of pride: "I want to ...... It won't be long before you'll be able to hear the good news. ”

"Hopefully!"

Somehow, Elizabeth was a little uneasy.

Will that rampant and shrewd pirate fail so easily? She didn't have any bottom in her heart.

"Lord Governor, the latest information!"

At this time, a hurried footstep came and broke directly into the bedroom: "Sorry, sir, but you have instructed that once there is the latest military information, I must inform you as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, I said that...... Read! ”

Viscount Quia patted Elizabeth on the shoulder: "Honey, good news is coming. ”

"Ahem......"

The herald immediately unfolded a parchment scroll: "...... On April 1st, we encountered the main pirate force, and the navy boys of the kingdom fought valiantly, but the enemy shamelessly used mines, and under the combined influence of other irresistible factors, we lost the Dreadnought, the Lion, and the Knights of the Round Table...... Admiral Firi was martyred, and Vice Admiral Norton led the last dozen or so steam ironclad ships to retreat, and will arrive at the Solomon Strait on the 7th, asking the local governor to do a good job of reception and supply......"

"Oh...... No! ”

Viscount Quia simply crumbled: "In the name of the Queen, are you sure you're not joking with me?" That's the elite of the entire kingdom, fifty new steam-ironclad ships, and tens of thousands of the best navy boys......"

"I'm sorry...... But it's true! ”

The herald stumbled and handed over the papers.

"God......"

After one glance, the governor was on the verge of fainting.

"Father, what we need to do now is to get ready immediately, gather supplies, and ships! Ships are important, maybe we're going to retreat with Vice Admiral Norton......"

Elizabeth said quickly.

"Retreat? From the Solomon Strait? No! I'm the governor here......"

Viscount Quia's eyes were a little distracted.

No matter how good he is at scheming, when he encounters this kind of thing, he has no idea at all.

"Yes, it must be evacuated! After this war, our navy has suffered a great loss, and we will definitely choose to shrink ......," Elizabeth said firmly.

The cultivation of the Navy, the construction of ships is only one aspect.

The most important thing is that there are still qualified sailors at sea, and it is difficult to train them without four or five years.

The defeat in this sea battle has completely hollowed out the backbone of the Innsman sailors, and it is not easy to take a breath.

Thinking of this, Viscount Quia also immediately made a decision: "Pass the order, and all ports will enter a state of first-level alert...... Also, get ready to evacuate......"

……

"Roar!"

At this moment, at the junction of the sea and the sky, a roar suddenly sounded.

A black dot emerged, growing larger and larger, turning into a floating island.

Pirate King City, King of Island Turtles!

Its speed was so tragic that it could not even run 10 knots, and it could not be used for naval battles, but at this time it was firmly approaching the Solomon Strait.

Little by little, slowly moving, but with unwavering momentum!

"It's a pirate! Attack! ”

Several fortifications immediately noticed the anomaly and opened fire.

Thundered!

The explosion was felt on the island turtle, but compared to its sheer size, it was almost like being bitten by a mosquito.

This is also Fang Yuan's arrangement.

With the tragic speed of the King of Island Turtles, even if the defense is unmatched, it is beyond the reach of any pirate ship, but when it is used to attack fixed targets, it is invincible.

There is no doubt that the Solomon Strait, despite its impressive defensive strength, cannot move, and this is its biggest shortcoming.

In addition, at this time, the steam ironclad ships in the strait were all transferred, and they were at the lowest point of strength.

"Roar!"

Ignoring the artillery fire on his body, the King of the Island Turtle roared, and slammed his forelimbs into the island.

Bang!

It hit its head like a meteorite falling from the sky, and several fortifications collapsed in an instant.

"Ahh

"Sea monster!"

"Let's go!"

"Why does this turtle look like it has a city on its back?"

Solomon's port was immediately thrown into chaos.

Rao was them, and they didn't expect that there would be a sea monster that was so large that it was so incredible.

But soon, they didn't have time to think about it.

Because as the king of the island turtle climbed on the pirate, a large number of ropes and slides were lowered from its back, and the ant-like pirate, like a tide, swept away, flooding the port in an instant.

Bang bang!

The sound of muskets, the clash of swords, the roar of men and the screams of women, all mingled to form a symphony of Solomon's last days.

"Someone! Take Elizabeth away! ”

Governor Quia watched a group of pirates rush towards the Governor's mansion like arrows, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Quick...... Walk! ”

Elizabeth carried her skirt and grabbed her father's palm, and together, under the escort of the soldiers, they escaped from the Doge's palace and ran towards the hillside behind.

"Why! Why? ”

As she fled, tears also fell from Elizabeth's face.

She found that she couldn't escape the nightmare.

"I can't go to the port, but on the other side, I have a ship to prepare......"

Viscount Quia calmed down, finally regained a little grace, and said quickly: "That captain is my good friend, Elizabeth, you go to him, leave immediately!" ”

"Father, what about you?"

Elizabeth tugged at Viscount Quia's sleeve.

"I am the Colonial Governor of Innsman, and I must do my duty...... "Lord Viscount smiled bitterly, "What's more...... Lieutenant General Norton doesn't know what is going on here, and he thinks this is a safe rear harbor and is heading here! ”

Now, he has to believe that those pirates have indeed achieved an unprecedented victory.

There are even remnants of troops divided into two routes, and this king of island turtles was sent before the war began, to cut off the back of the Innsman fleet!

There is no doubt that Innsman's Royal Navy is already in the most dangerous situation!
