Chapter 267: A Thousand Miles of Pursuit (I)

Sun Lin's royal fleet was arguably the last unit to appear in the battle on Stormwind Island, but it was indeed the first fleet to leave this uninhabited island after the Stormwind Island meeting. Of course, before leaving, in order to make all preparations for anything that might happen next, and do his best to leave all the remnants of the 3rd and 9th fleets in Atlanta in the land of the Thousand Islands, Sun Lin also took 3 more Hawker assault ships and 10 thousand fireships with him before leaving.

After that, Sun Lin ordered the entire royal fleet to test all the Greek fire devices, and then took advantage of the moonlight in the sky at night to give his fleet a glimmer of light, and led the enhanced version of the royal fleet to set off from the fog, heading towards the direction of the previous two Atlantan remnant fleets to escape, raising the sails and moving at full speed.

This pursuit seems very simple, because the remnants of the two fleets are extremely low, and most of the ships are wounded in battle, and their average movement speed is not even comparable to the Japanese pill before the improvement, not to mention Sun Lin's Royal Victory, and Sun Lin has ordered the use of Greek fire throwers throughout the pursuit in order to completely destroy the enemy ships, this device that uses the principle of high pressure to spray Greek fire out of the iron pipe, its terrifying sputtering ability will not be eliminated for a while as long as it is touched, Half of the reason why the previous Battle of Stormwind was cleaned up after the battle, which looked like a long and narrow route through Stormwind Island, was caused by the Greek fire, which eventually set the ship on fire because the broken Atlanta ships were unable to escape the Greek flames during their escape.

But in fact, this pursuit was extremely difficult, and on several occasions Sun Lin almost let the Atlanta's 3rd and 9th fleets escape. After just some time in the pursuit, the Royal Fleet encountered the first problem, that is, the shipwrecks that were the remains of the Greek flames and used as signposts for the Royal Fleet, because they had lost the ability to continue burning for too long, and now they were in the misty waters around Stormwind Island, and it was still at night, and it was almost difficult to find the remnants of the 3rd and 9th Fleet of Atlanta in such a situation than to ascend to the sky.

Thankfully, this problem was automatically eliminated after 1 hour, because the sun rose in the sky after 1 hour, although those shipwrecks were no longer burning, but Sun Lin could roughly judge by relying on the shipwrecks and driftwood scattered along the way, the remnants of the 3rd and 9th fleets were escaping from the route, although more than 1 hour of time had been wasted before, but this was still affordable for the time predicted by Sun Lin during the previous pursuit.

However, as soon as the Royal Fleet left the misty waters around Stormwind Island, a second, more difficult question arose: "Is this ............ There are 3 more routes for the shipwreck to fall at the same time! Looking at the sea in front of him, a total of 4 routes vaguely composed of driftwood, dead corpses, and even the wreckage of an Atlanta shark battleship, Sun Lin's face suddenly became ugly.

Beside him, the captain of the Royal Victory also said anxiously to Sun Lin after this: "Your Majesty, please hurry up and make a decision, this kind of route composed of driftwood is impossible to maintain for too long, it is estimated that in half an hour, these routes will be broken by the waves!" ”

"Damn, I forgot to bring the Fish-Man Sea Scout Group, and the Naga Imperial Guard was taken by Soli again, and it was unlucky, it seems that there should still be some Atlantan admirals who have not died in battle in the remnants of the force, and they are also a general with good naval combat ability, and even a remnant of the Atlantan naval battle command team may not be able to say, you must know that this kind of approach is not a reaction that those frightened sailors can make, unless they believe in the manifestation of the sea god Poseidon, Let them have a naval genius at this moment..............." Sun Lin said with a wry smile, and then looked at the endless sea in front of him with a telescope, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, and hurriedly grabbed the right arm of the captain of the Royal Victory and said, "Quick! Send someone to the two bodies with floating corpses to come up with a few words each, preferably with wounds, go quickly! ”

"Uh...... It's crowned. It didn't take long for the corpses of Atlanta sailors to be carried in front of Sun Lin, and Sun Lin ignored the puzzled expressions of everyone here, and directly used his sword to scratch the sleeves of the dead Atlanta sailors to observe their wounds, and then stood up and asked the captain of the Royal Victory: "Tell me, how many thousand fireships and Hawker assault ships we have in our hands now." ”

"Under the report, there are 6 Hawker assault ships and 10 thousand fire ships."

"Very well, then you can give me the order to divide those Hawker assault ships and Thousand Fire Ships into three teams and continue sailing to the middle and right ones respectively, while the remaining main forces of the Royal Fleet will all follow me and set off to the left."

"Yes!" After receiving Sun Lin's order, the captain of the Royal Victory immediately asked the flag bearer on the Victory to wave the flag and inform all the sailors present that the sun would not set, and then, the Thousand Fire Ships and the Hawker Assault Ships that received the order immediately formed three small fleets and followed the three faintly emerging routes according to Sun Lin's instructions, while all the remaining medium and heavy warships of the Royal Victory followed the Royal Victory to the left and turned the rudder 50 degrees and continued to move forward. Gradually, the 3 small fleets that had broken away from the main fleet disappeared into the horizon............

"Your Majesty, the order has been given, but ......... How did you know that this would be the route for the enemy to flee? After the whole fleet completed the separation, the captain of the Royal Victory, who had completed the mission, returned to Sun Lin's side and raised his doubts.

In this regard, Sun Lin smiled slightly and said: "Isn't it strange that I chose neither the one that has the wreck of an Atlanta Shark battleship, nor the two that have the dead bodies of Atlanta sailors, but this one that only has some driftwood." Actually, I'm doing this because of this, Captain, have you noticed that there is something wrong with the wounds on the floating corpses, such as ............. they are festering to a higher degree. ”

"But what does that mean?"

"Explain that they are Atalan sailors who have been abandoned, or Atalan sailors who have volunteered to sacrifice themselves to make others escape, captain, you know that geckos can do things to cut off their own arms in order to escape, right? If there are shipwrecks and floating corpses on those three routes, but there are none on this route, it means that there must be a big fish on this route that is bigger than the other three routes. ”
