"On the fifteenth day of the month of chasing the wind, it was sunny.

Three days have passed since we left the harbor, and we are heading through the Strait of Light towards Eland, the seaport of the Land of Light, and I know how difficult the task is this time. The fate of the whole country will be on my shoulders, and I must gather enough food in the shortest possible time and transport it back to the southern seaports to alleviate the current crisis. But I knew that this was not an easy task, although the Southern Fleet was now blocking the shipping lane, but I still could not be quiet, almost every night, I could not sleep, any sound of the waves crashing would make me jump off the bed in panic, fearing that it was an attack from the royal party.

And I know that danger doesn't just come from the outside.

I saw the greedy eyes of the sailors, who knew what we were transporting, and I had given them enough money to give them their hearts on their job and not on the riches in the cabin. But I don't know if it will be useful for me to do this, and I have sent enough guards to guard the wealth, but even so, I still can't rest assured.

I don't know if we're on the wrong path, we're too dependent on the Council of Light, but so far, they don't seem to be so enthusiastic in the face of our outstretched hand for help, and although I'm a little sorry for the old council, I'm worried that even if we reach the port of the Land of Light safely, it's still unknown whether we can get what we need as promised..............."

Savile put down the quill in his hand and sighed imperceptibly, then he closed his journal, straightened his clothes, and turned and walked out of the cabin. The boundless sea of light is calm at the moment, listen to it. Only the sound of the sea washing over the hull and the loud laughter of the sailors. The slightly salty sea breeze rushed in front of him, which made people's mood relax a lot, and looking at the warships escorting on both sides, Saville's mood gradually calmed down. These are the ships of the Southern Fleet, and this time they set off to buy food in the Land of Light. The Council specially approved four warships to escort the flank to avoid a surprise attack by the enemy, not to mention that the Southern Fleet had blocked the entrance to the Strait of Light, with such double protection, no matter how great the ability of the royal party was, it was absolutely impossible to easily break through the blockade line.

And at this moment, a deep voice came from behind him.

"Lord Savile, what are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Savile turned his head. Then he smiled at the man wearing the captain's hat in front of him.

"I'm just here to see the view, Mr. Captain, and I hope it doesn't disturb your work."

"Hahaha, that's not true, Lord Savile, you don't have to worry so much. We're about to enter the Strait of Light, and once we've passed through it, we're going to enter the Pearl Islands. Then it will only take three days at most to reach Elander, so don't worry. Our young men here are all first-class, and with so many battleships escorting, even if someone wants to do it, I'm afraid he will have to weigh whether he has the ability to do it! Haha ”

Saying this, the captain smiled and stretched out his hand. He patted Savile on the shoulder vigorously, and Savile smiled wryly and forcibly endured the captain's unserious slap. And just as he was about to say something, suddenly, a fierce wind howled. And Savile had just opened his mouth, and saw the sea breeze pour into his mouth, and the poor man in bright clothes immediately curled up and began to cough loudly, and after a while, the wind weakened, and Savile barely regained his breath, he raised his head, and looked around with palpitations.

"What was going on just now? Mr. Captain? The wind ..............."

"Ah, don't worry, Lord Savile, this is normal for us sea boys, this is where the tide flows, and at this time of year the tide passes through here, and then goes around the Mermaid Peak and goes back again. And for us seafarers, if we can take advantage of the trend, we may be able to reach our destination faster than usual, which is also a good thing for us. ”

"Oh............ Oh ........."

Hearing this, Savile nodded, perhaps because he was flooded by the sea breeze just now, now Savile felt that his heart was beating very fast, and an inexplicable sense of tension appeared in his body, he turned his head uneasily, looked around, and saw that the place in his eyes was still calm and peaceful, blue sky, white clouds and the warship that was moving, everything was as usual.

Maybe I'm too sensitive.

Saville smiled self-deprecatingly, then nodded to the captain before turning back to the cabin to continue his rest.

“—————！！”

And at this moment, a low and dull sound suddenly sounded.

Hearing this, Savile stopped in surprise, and he turned his head to look around. Seeing his expression, the captain on the side asked with some doubts at this time.

"Lord Savile, what's wrong with you?"

"Didn't you hear? Mr. Captain? ”

Faced with Savile's inquiry, the captain was stunned. But just as he was asking, the dull noise reappeared, and this time, the captain's face finally changed, and he, as a seaman, naturally understood what it was—and soon the captain retracted his expression, nodded to Saville with a serious face, and then he immediately turned around, strode to the front of the deck, and shouted loudly.

"Watch your surroundings and keep all hands on guard!!"

As he shouted, the captain took out a monocular from his bosom and looked ahead. And as far as the eye can see, there is still calm, and there is not the slightest trace of ships. At this time, the other warships also began to stir, and the sailors climbed up to the lookout and looked around, but still found nothing. And at this moment, the low sound of the horn sounded again, even clearer than before.

"Where? Where is it?!! Watch around! Watch your front and back!!"

The sailors were becoming less and less calm at this moment, and they lay on the edge of the ship in panic, looking around with wide eyes, trying to find the source of the horn sound. Most seafarers have a lot of superstitions and taboos. If it was night, I'm afraid they would all think that the ghost ship was haunting them. But even the sailors' eyes were as big as brass bells, but they still found nothing.

"Wow————!!"

Just as everyone was carefully observing the surroundings, suddenly, there was a scream. A sailor collapsed to the ground with a pale face, and everyone turned their heads to glare at him, but the sailor did not pay any attention to the murderous gaze of his colleague, but was dumbfounded, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the sky in front of him.

"That's... That......... That .................."

"What's wrong? Calm me down! Look what you look like right now! ”

Seeing the ugliness of his subordinates, the captain couldn't help frowning and walked to his side and kicked him viciously, then raised his head and reached out to pick up the binoculars. Look at what made his subordinates look like a mouse that saw a cat——— but his hand was only halfway raised, and it completely stopped in mid-air.

White, heavy clouds drifted across the clear blue sky. The huge black figure emerged from it like a sharp knife without stopping, tearing through the clouds and slowly meeting everyone's eyes. The tall ship, which was 200 meters long and 56 meters wide, obscured the sun's brilliance and cast a dim shadow. Three levels of artillery deck, flanked by muzzles on either side of a massive hull made of oak and pure gold steel. The dense magic cannons are arranged in three layers, giving people an unprecedented sense of oppression——— which is like a storm on the ocean. You can't hide, you can only desperately pray for good luck to bless you through the crisis.

The steel oars, which are tens of meters long, swing like fins under the hull of the ship with the wind, adjusting the balance of the giant ship's hull. Suddenly, it looked as if a huge floating whale was slowly descending and rushing towards everyone. And with the appearance of giant warships, five more were slightly smaller than it. But the same huge battleships emerged from the clouds, and they followed closely behind, slowly moving in a tight formation and levitating below. On the hulls of these warships, the light of magic could be clearly seen shining from time to time, in the four directions of their huge hulls, in the front, back, left, and right directions. There were four blue-green magic circles suspended separately, exuding a faint light, and with the movement of the floating giant sword, beautiful traces of light emerged from the sky and flashed away.

On the front of the white sail, a mermaid was depicted holding a harp, and at the top of the mast was a flag that was all too familiar to all.

Angel of the twin swords.

Royal Fleet!!

This............ How can it be..................!!

Savile stood on the deck in a daze, staring at all this in front of him dumbfounded, the disaster came so quickly, he didn't even have the strength to tremble, at this moment Savile only felt that the strength of his body seemed to be drained, if it wasn't leaning against the side of the ship, he even wanted to just collapse to the ground like this, don't think about anything——— Holy Soul is on it, what is this? It is true that they have a naval fleet in the royal family of Zhilu Dao, but this naval fleet has never appeared in front of anyone. The reformers did a lot of investigations, and even sent people to lurk, investigating the ports around the Golden City, but they never got any information about the royal fleet. In fact, on weekdays, when encountering maritime disputes, the Duchy of Moon usually dispatches the Southern Fleet to deal with it. Over time, the legendary Royal Fleet really became a "legendary" existence.

But now, they have stepped through the fog of history and appeared in front of them again.

What a joke!!

At this time, Savile suddenly wanted to laugh, he looked at the six huge magic guide battleships in front of him slowly turned around, and when the muzzle of the black hole hole aimed at his ship, this middle-aged nobleman suddenly had an irrepressible urge to look up to the sky and laugh.

Ha Lu Ha We're just a bunch of fucking idiots on stage who are encouraged to dance!! I'm really an idiot, the old immortals in the council are all old and confused, isn't it the Duchy of Moon that developed the trendy trade route and built the floating ship in the first place? Since they were able to build merchant ships that could transport goods through the wind. So what's so strange about making a couple of battleships? It's ridiculous that the council even sent people to the port to investigate stupidly, and no one thought to look at the top of their heads?

What a joke!! We're all fucking jokes!!

Now Savile felt that all this was simply a ridiculous dream, he was not a fool, of course he knew it, even if the royal party did not have a single soldier, relying on these magic warships alone. They were also enough to completely suppress the South after independence. Now that I think about it, I and the others were still righteous and strict, and they submitted the Declaration of Independence with a serious look, which really looked like a group of clowns who acted in burlesque. Presumably, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke in the Golden City was going to have a stomachache when he received the declaration that they thought they had worked hard to represent the hearts of the entire southern people. She can obviously take action directly and suppress herself, right? Why do you want to play with them for so long? Could it be that for His Royal Highness, this is just a game, and we are just pawns in her game?

And at this very time. The muffled sound of the horn sounded again, and then a clear voice echoed through the entire sea.

"This is the Royal Navy's Third Fleet, and we announce in the name of the Moon royal family that the Strait of Light has been completely sealed from now on. You must disarm and surrender immediately, or you will bear the consequences. ”

"How. What to do......... My lord? ”

Looking at the magic guide battleship suspended in the air in the distance, the captain lost his usual composure. His face was pale, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and then he turned around and looked at Saville beside him with trepidation. The other party is far above the sky, and it is not at all the object that these warships can deal with. Even if you want to fight back, you can't hit the opponent at all. And just by looking at it, you can know the way. The other party's equipment is not a cheap artillery like its own, but a magic cannon that can only be used in those big cities and fortresses, and the lethality of each cannon is enough to completely kill a battleship like oneself. And now, six warships, a total of nearly three hundred magic cannons aimed at them. The captain was sure that as long as the other side bombarded them, none of his warships would be left, not even the residue remained——— and they would turn into powder and disappear without even having a chance to sink into the sea to feed the fish.

However, when the captain turned his head, he saw that Savile was just standing there dumbfounded, motionless, and he hesitated for a moment, but finally walked quickly to Savile's side, and asked in a low voice of anxiety.

"My lord, shall we surrender?"

"Surrender ?!!"

Hearing this, Savile trembled, as if suddenly awakened from a nightmare, he turned his head, at this time the captain found that this nobleman, who had always looked very calm and composed, was now like a madman with red eyes, staring as big as a copper bell, he first stared at the captain in front of him, and then raised his head, looked at the magic warship in the air, and smiled.

"Surrender? Surrender?! You mean woman!! Don't you want to play? Don't you want to have fun?! So good!! I'll play with you, and I'll play to the end!! ”

Saying this, Savile laughed loudly, and then he drew the long sword at his waist with his backhand, pointing at the magic guide warship in front of him. His face was flushed, and the veins on his forehead were bruised, and at this time, Savile knew very well that he had no chance to speak of, but he would not give up. Want me to surrender obediently? Hahaha, Lydia, do you think we're going to play with you all the time as you wish?!!

"Inform everyone, let's rush over!! Let them see that in this world, not everything will go as they wish!! For freedom!! For the Southern Parliament!! For the glory of victory!! Charge!!! ”

"Woo-woo-woo————!!"

With the sound of the horn, the ships on the sea began to move, and they quickly changed direction, raised their sails, and launched the most rear-end charge towards the magic guide battleship.

That's not to die, it's to fight for the only chance. If they were able to escape from beneath these massive floating magic warships, then there was only a glimmer of hope——— but only a glimmer of hope.

"Report to your Excellency."

A black-haired soldier walked into the cabin, he looked at the figure leaning against the window in front of him, paused slightly, and then gave a military salute before he continued.

"They refuse to surrender, and the other side is currently gathering and intending to charge."

"It's stupid."

Hearing the report of her subordinates, Jia Ling did not even raise her eyebrows, and at this moment the court musician was no longer wearing her usual plain robe, but was replaced by a dark and gorgeous light armor robe, the only thing that remained unchanged was the harp that still accompanied her by the girl's hand.

"The weak have no right to resist, only the duty to obey, and if they do not obey this obligation, then die."

The girl said lightly, then stretched out her fingers and plucked the strings lightly, and the crisp, melodious sound of the piano leaped out, echoing in the cabin for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Kill other than the target." (To be continued.) )
