At night, when the distant Saran Maru castle tower had been lit by torches for more than 5 hours, as the water splashed and gradually became louder, dozens of sunset warships, including the Royal Victory, raised their half-sails and began to move slowly forward, in order to ensure the maximum output of long-range firepower, all the ships, including the Royal Victory, the 6 Hawker Heavy Class A 5 sail battleships and the rest of the Galie Standard 3 sail ships, all carried the giant shield crossbowmen in the Sunset Marine Army to the battlefield to the maximum extent, at the same time, The 1st Sentai (1,000-strong team) and the 3rd Sentai of the 2nd Naga Foreign Legion, also led by Captain Karaka, had already lurked in front of the military dock in front of the Zoran Maru Castle Tower, and they received an order that as long as Sun Lin attacked Zoran Maru for 5 minutes, the 1st Sentai would turn into a death squad and attack the Zoranmaru Castle Tower with Captain Karaka, while the 3rd Sentai would surface and work with the Fish-Man Sword Shield to destroy the Xiyi who had sailed the ship out of the harbor.

At this time, the Xiyi people were completely unaware of Sun Lin's "visit", and the ashigaru who was standing in front of the low wall of the castle tower and patrolling at night did not notice the black shadow that was dragging the silver-white V-shaped diagram slowly moving forward in the distance, and the commander of the Xiyi people was in the castle tower, discussing with his retainers what had happened in the past few days.

"Kobayashi-kun, what do you think of what has happened in the last few days, could it be that the sun never sets?" In the main hall, a middle-aged man in gray and blue kneeling in the center asked the first young man with a small beard under his nose on the left with a serious face: "The people from the shogunate have already told us that we must find out why their two patrol fleets and our three patrol fleets suddenly disappeared within two weeks, otherwise the general will be angry, which will not be good for our plan." ”

"Lord Maori, the 2nd Fleet and I will definitely find out about this matter, and we have found a clue, but I don't know if there will be an accident if I say it, because the other party's background is ............," said the young man who was asked with a slightly ugly face.

"But it doesn't matter, although our Maori family only controls the Zoran Maru Islands, our Maori naval fleet is a fleet comparable to the shogunate's main fleet, and in terms of the navy, even those people in the shogunate also have to look at our intentions to make decisions. Although our main fleet is not in the Zoran Marukyu Islands now, our second fleet is still there, and if that family dares to tie us up when our Maori family's forces are empty, our second fleet can still let them know who should move and who should not move. ”

"I see what you mean, Lord Mori, but......... Okay, Lord Maori, I wonder if you've ever heard of an intelligent creature like the Sea Tribes at the bottom of the sea. When the young man saw the statement of the adult in front of him, he gritted his teeth and asked.

"Sea ............ Tribe? Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, I have heard my late father, Mori Yoshiro, say that there is indeed a sea tribe living in this mysterious and vast seabed, and when I pledged my allegiance to the shogun, the shogun told me that the Atlanta Empire, the enemy we had fought against for many years, had a relationship with a sea tribe called the Fish-Man Clan, but Kobayashi-kun, what you ask about this, it seems that it has nothing to do with what we are talking about. The middle-aged man asked suspiciously, and the retainers on his left and right also looked at the young Xiyi man and wanted him to explain the reason, but the first thing they waited for was a sigh for the rest of their lives.

"Alas! And so it was............ Mori-sama, after my subordinates' investigation and questioning some fishermen who knew about the Sea Clan, we learned that it was most likely the Sea Clan who attacked the 5 patrols! The young man's words were shocked, but fortunately, the famous Maori seemed to find that the young man still had something to say, so he waved his hand to let the retainers on both sides be quiet first, and listened to the young man's words.

"At first, I thought this thing was ridiculous, the Sea Clan wanted to attack us, what was their motive, not at all? And why do they not attack sooner or later, but at this time, when we declare war like the invaders and the sun never sets and will stand until the end of the stalemate and even the light of victory appears, now that I think about it, coupled with what you said, Lord Maori, I estimate that it is very likely that the invaders have signed some kind of agreement with the Atlanta Empire and are ready to deal with us, and the Atlanta Empire sent their Sea Clan allies to attack the Xiyi Islands and launch an attack on our Maori family, who are the best at naval warfare, It's likely that it's a gesture of goodwill. The young man's words made people fall into deep thought, but people thought about it and found that only this method was the most acceptable, but at this moment, an old man on the right questioned the young man.

"Kobayashi-kun, I agree with you, at least in any way from the point of view of the information we have, your answer is the most appropriate, but the question is, why will the Atlanta Empire unite with outsiders to fight us, why will they not attack our Second Fleet and fight those meaningless patrols Xiao Ximi. And Kobayashi-kun, don't forget, just last month, the Atlanta Empire also told the shogunate that they would support our outsiders, which is also the reason why we gave up the competition with the Atlanta Empire and turned to the Sunset Empire, and how do you explain the 3 ships of pig iron that my fleet just obtained from the port of the Atlanta Empire's main city the day before yesterday. As soon as the old man's words were raised, it also reminded everyone present that the Xiyi people would suddenly start attacking the Imperial Navy of the Sunset, which was only active on the islands on the edge of the western continent.

"Do you think there's anything better than that explanation? Do you want to say that the Sun Never Sets Empire has Sea Clan soldiers? How can this be ............." Before the young man could finish his retort, he was interrupted by the middle-aged man named Maori who suddenly shouted: "Yes! That's it! I see! ”

"Lord Maori, have you found anything?" The old man asked.

"You go, get the map of the surrounding seas, go quickly, otherwise there will be no time!" The middle-aged man said anxiously.

"Yes!" Then, a map made of parchment appeared in front of everyone, and the middle-aged man named Maori muttered as he planted the small red flag in his hand in the patrol area where the fleet had disappeared, as they watched everyone............ Sure enough, it was on a line, and it seemed that they were hiding something......... Calculated by the time and distance at which the fleets disappeared, they should have reached the ............ by now This is around the corner! What the! The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned pale as he realized that the place he was pointing to was the castle tower where he was!

At the same time, the alarm bell of the castle tower was suddenly sounded!
