Chapter 720: The Situation Suddenly Changes
The naval battle lasted from mid-day to sunset, and even though Lu Chen knew a lot about the ghost fleet, he was repeatedly controlled by others because of his lack of preparation.
The ghost fleet was counterattacked by Lu Chen and sank two battleships during the pursuit, and there were also five golden warships on the wolf clan's side that were divided and surrounded by the ghost fleet, and then tried to smash the battleship barrier stone in a ship battle to seize the ownership of the battleship.
However, Lu Chen was also ruthless enough, and ordered the five golden battleships that were surrounded to splash the battleships with fierce fire oil, and buried the five battleships in the sea of fire along with more than a thousand enemies. Jiang Nanjun also cast a rat bogey, after all, players who hung up at sea could not run and resurrect their corpses, and if there was no local advantage in troops, the low defense of the ghost ship would be killed by Lu Chenke.
"Captain, they're turning and speeding up again!" The lookout saw that the sails of the wolf fleet had turned around, and immediately reported to Jiang Nanjun.
"Damn! How many magic crystals did they really bring? "Jiang Nanjun's heart is dripping blood, although the ghost ship also has a crystal acceleration function, but each acceleration consumes two more magic crystals than the wolf clan's mediocre warship.
Fortunately, the speed of the ghost ship is fast enough, and it can always bite the wolf fleet tightly and look for opportunities to attack. Otherwise, the mere fact that the wolf fleet was getting farther and farther away from the edge of the offshore sea would be enough to make him relent.
"Speed, chase!" Jiang Nanjun gritted his teeth, remembering that the Norn Guild dominated the entire empire, earning more than 20,000 gold coins a day, although there was a lot of consumption, could it be that the remaining funds could not compare to the wolf clan? Than burning money? Who's afraid of whom!
Hundreds of meters in front of him, the wolf fleet occasionally used the recoil of firing crossbow arrows to make the battleship slightly faster. Relying on these small movements, the wolf fleet barely resisted the elegant style of play of the ghost fleet.
"President! Why do we have to turn around, although every time we make a quiet turn, we can take advantage of the time when they don't react to throw off the ghost fleet for a few hundred meters. But if we had gone straight to the shore at the beginning, now we have retreated to the sea. ”
The captain of Lu Chen's main ship was a little puzzled, from midday to sunset, a full five hours, which was enough for the wolf fleet to retreat from the edge of the offshore to the desert island of Naga Ruins. When they got there, it was the home of the wolf clan, and the ghost fleet would not dare to continue the pursuit.
When Lu Chen heard this, he looked around his fleet, and when he went to sea, the 20 ships were all intact, but now 6 have been sunk before and after, and the remaining 14 are all damaged, of which 5 are basically scrapped. All the economic losses add up to more than 80,000 gold coins, which is 16 million cash!
From his debut to the present, when has Lu Chen suffered such a big loss? If he didn't bury this ghost fleet here, how could he be willing?!
"Don't ask, just do what I tell you to do." Lu Chen shook his head, and the captain smiled and retreated. He will not be dissatisfied, the president has always been very good to the water army.
Give the best treatment, but do easier work than the army. Even in battle, most of the time they hide on the ship to fire and shoot. Although they also do hard training, the salary alone makes them willing.
Lu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the ghost fleet behind that had gradually regained its stealth function, it seemed that the other party had craftsmen on board and could repair the battleship at any time.
"That's fine... The craftsman who has the ability to repair in battle is probably an NPC... 18 warships are nothing to your Norn Guild, but what about these craftsmen? Hung up... But that's it! ”
A cold light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, and the captain behind him only felt that the captain was suddenly murderous, which made him frightened.
Although it is not really a killing in the game, the ultra-high virtuality of the game gives players who have experienced bloody battles a certain majesty and murderous aura. This temperament and momentum are cultivated, and the current Lu Chen is not inferior to any super power leader in this regard.
"Report! There is an unknown ship approaching in the east, flying the bright moon flag! ”
The player in charge of the lookout at the top of the main mast suddenly shouted in surprise, Bright Moon Banner, that's the official navy of the Moonlight Kingdom! Could it be that they were so lucky to encounter a patrolling NPC navy in the vast sea?
Of course not! Those navies were transferred by Lu Chen's vicissitudes of life!
"Heh... Command the whole army, prepare to counterattack! ”
Lu Chen sneered, in the process of the wolf fleet's more than a dozen turns to shake off the enemy fleet, the wolf fleet had unknowingly reversed the direction with the ghost fleet. The wolf fleet is in the south, the ghost fleet is in the north, and the direction out of the far sea is in the south!
In short, the Ghost Fleet has been surrounded by the Wolf Clan Fleet and the Moonlight Kingdom Navy front and back!
Sure enough, there was a panic on the side of the ghost fleet, and they immediately adjusted their sails, preparing to bypass the wolf fleet and escape from the offshore sea.
However, how could Lu Chen let them go, he immediately ordered the fleet to adjust the sails, and also ordered a one-on-one watch to prevent the other party from scattering and fleeing.
Although the speed of the wolf fleet is slower than that of the ghost fleet, it is not much slower, at least until it can bite them for ten minutes.
"Ruthless! Even after being hit hard, they still want to annihilate us completely! Jiang Nanjun's face was gloomy as water, this was a calculated and unintentional battle, not only did he fail to annihilate the enemy, but he also lost 3 warships.
Even like this, he felt that it was difficult to explain to the president, not to mention that there was still a danger of annihilation now!
"It's their own doing, rush, crash away from them! If you want to die, everyone will die together, see if our Norn Guild's navy recovers quickly, or if your wolf clan recovers quickly! ”
The matter has come to this, Jiang Nanjun is also a ruthless person. It's a big deal that everyone dies together, with the financial resources of the Norn Guild, will they lose to a wolf clan who only occupies a mere dukedom?
Seeing this, Lu Chen was also taken aback, and he hesitated when he looked at his seriously damaged battleship. If he fights hard with the other party again, even if it only takes 15 minutes for his own reinforcements to arrive, his side will have to sink at least four or five more warships, and this number may even double if he is pessimistic!
"Fire! All shield warriors see the right moment to block the enemy ship's chain crossbow! ”
Lu Chen's hesitation was only for a moment, even if the profits of the water freight department shrank by 60% in the next few months? In just 3 months, he will be able to build another golden fleet.
He wants everyone to understand that the wolf clan is invincible on the water! Otherwise, once this battle is lost, the wolf clan navy that used to show off its power on the water will be torn off the veil of mystery, and all enemies know that the navy is nothing more than this, not invincible.
This is also the reason why Lu Chen rarely uses water armies when he fights, generally unless there is a river passing through the enemy city, Lu Chen rarely uses water armies when fighting. To preserve the mystery and majesty of the wolf army, this can give great deterrence to those enemies hidden in the shadows.
