Volume II Southern Beacon 1221 Antoro Chaos Great Turbulence
Port of Antoros
Looking out the window at the blue sky and the sea, Gilly Fi, the governor of the Duchy of Dunkiel in Antoros, gently rotated the bronze-based nautical instrument with his fingers, his eyes gradually condensed into a thin line, I don't know why, he has always felt a little irritable in the past few days, "Maybe it's because of this damn weather!"
Ji Li Fei looked at the cold sun above his head a little helplessly, and secretly complained to himself, as a person from the warm Central European region, he felt that the weather was too cold now, if it was in China now, the crimson flowers in early winter should have bloomed all over Kyoto, what a beautiful scene it was, the ladies and ladies in gorgeous costumes would enjoy the flowers together, and even the palace that lived in a simple place would come to the inside, and he would also have the opportunity to see the beautiful face of Princess Anya from afar." Lord Governor, Captain of the Fleet, Baron Faywu, begs to see!" The servant's voice sounded outside the door, "Let him in!" said Giglifi to the door,
Soon a heroic young officer in a naval uniform walked in, "Good morning, Lord Governor!" The young fleet commander stopped, straightened up, and saluted Governor Gillife, whose face was a little pale, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, "Is there anything about that mysterious continent?" Gillifi turned his head and looked at the young Admiral with a strong expectation in his eyes, as the youngest Admiral of the Duchy's navy, a typical example of the Grand Duke of Dunkiel personally praised, Baron Feiwu has a pair of light blue charming eyes, a thick short flaxen hair, a noble hand with white gloves, a neat navy uniform on his body, the cuffs and collar are depicted with golden silk edges, and the badge on the shoulder is embroidered with three golden tassels, which is the mark of the Admiral of the Navy Detachment, such a mark, which is only 11 people in the entire Duchy of Dunkirk. "There are already some eyebrows!" Baron Fei Wu bowed his head in response, hiding the trace of disdain in his eyes, and said to himself, "In order to seek information on the opposite continent, I even thought of going to the pirate, and the courage of this governor is indeed based on nepotism with the Grand Duke, as rumored in the country.1
"Ahem, how long will it take" Ji Lifei coughed a few times sadly, he was used to the climate in Central Europe, in November, although it was a little cool at the moment, but he would not feel cold, and the temperature here was obviously lower than that in China, especially after the sun set, the cold wind howled, almost the entire island could be solidified, which made the delicate body suffer from a low-grade fever and cold all year round, this feeling made him very unhappy, if possible, he didn't want to stay on this desert island for a moment" I have already asked people to intensify the execution, and I believe that there will be information about the mainland over there soon!" Baron Fei Wu replied, he came to the beautiful and peaceful Normandy island chain in October, which was originally within the control of the Normans, but for some unknown reason, the Normans took the initiative to give up this important stronghold of the north-south route to the Duchy of Dunkirk, in exchange for the Grand Duke of Dunkiel's recommendation of the Grand Duke of Normandy within the empire this year, thinking of this, the corners of Fei Wu's mouth showed a playful smile" I hope so!Soon, you also know that the Duchy takes this matter very seriously!Gilly Fei frowned slightly, unwilling to continue, he was a high-ranking nobleman, not a naval officer like Fei Wu who even walked with the salty smell of sea water "I will do my best!" Baron Fei Wu was about to turn to leave, when Governor Gilli Fei called out to him" Wait, I received a letter from Lord Ríos, who led the main fleet through here some time ago, and he said that when he passed through here, he found unidentified warships in our waters, although the number and tonnage are not large, but they should be careful!" "Do you mean the encounter at sea 20 days ago?" Baron Fei Wu raised his head, a cold light flashed in his pale blue eyes, and the corners of his mouth smiled disdainfully. The Governor was completely worried, for Lord Ríos was the superior of the villain, and he had already told me about it, as he had said, that the number of this unknown fleet was very small, and the tonnage was even small!" "Oh, why do you think so? Doesn't the battleship win by numbers?
Gili Fei looked at him in surprise, although he was a governor, but he didn't know anything about naval warfare, the reason why he was sent was because he had other tasks, as a close minister of the Grand Duke, he knew very well that this exchange of Antolus islands was not because of the so-called ridiculous reason, but for other reasons,
The savage Normans, not to mention the loss of troops on an isolated island in the northern seas, and even the famous seven generals also lost four, and the Normans whose strength has shrunk are already thankful that they can keep their existing order in the empire, and they even fantasize about becoming one of the twelve consuls of the previous empire one step closer, and then accumulate prestige and give the principality a chance to be promoted to a kingdom, it is simply a fool's dream, but the stubborn guy of the Normandy Grand Duke still did this, this is the purpose of letting the principality send itself, and it is necessary to find out what the Nordiers encountered on that isolated island?
Compared with the Normans who have a large land, the Duchy of Dunkire, which is almost entirely composed of a small chain of peninsulas, has developed a rare way this year, mainly because there are suddenly more merchant ships from a certain area across the sea, and the sudden prosperity of maritime trade has made the Duchy of Dunkirk, which has always been known as a sea country, a little ambitious.
Although the Normans have always insisted that there is a barren island opposite, so many merchant ships are enough to show that the Normans are lying, behind the unknown sea, there must be a vast land, and a huge population, some people have wealth, if the navy of the Duchy of Dunkiel can explore that mysterious area, if not immediately compared with those first-class powers, at least it can reverse the current financial loss of the principality, it is with this purpose,
Within the Duchy of Dunkirk, for the issue of the islands of Antoros, although he knew that what the Normans threw to him was not necessarily a piece of good meat, he still did not hesitate to accept the mention of Antolus in exchange for support, of course, for this kind of high-level secret, the admiral of a small fleet like Baron Feiwu is not qualified to know, he is just a left-behind fleet in the sea, not a cruising fleet like Ríos mentioned by Gili Fi, which belongs to the Empire, not just the Duchy of Dunkirk. Welcome to Reading //
He was now explaining to the Governor who didn't know anything about it, "Antolus is located in the center of the sea, if you want to occupy it, you must send an army, if the tonnage of the opponent's warships is not enough, it will not be able to transport too many troops, and we still have 3 whale-class warships, even if the enemy comes with a hundred, it will not be able to compete with the whale-class that exceeds their tonnage several times, so the Governor can completely rest assured."
"What a fool of two hundred and five, what kind of naval battle do you care, as long as you can let me go back safely!" Ji Li Fei muttered to himself, took out a white handkerchief, pretended to wipe his forehead without a bead of sweat, and waved his hand to Baron Fei Wu, who was a little embarrassed,
said, "Thank you very much for your explanation, you really deserve to be an excellent soldier of the principality, go down first, hurry up, a month later, the prince of the principality will come to inspect it in person, I don't want that hairy boy to see my jokes, if you are a good one, I will guarantee you to the Grand Duke to go to the Imperial Cruise Fleet, there must be a place for you to show your strengths"
"As you wish, Lord Governor!" Baron Fei Wu left the Governor's office with a happy look on his face when he heard Gillife's promise.
At this time, on the sea 10 miles away from the port of Antoros, there was a Dragon-class capital ship flying the Falcon Navy battle flag, 4 Dragon's Tooth battleships were resting on the sea surface, and three heavier transport ships,
"How many days is this?" Gatssa, the captain of the No. 13 Dragon's Tooth Battleship, looked at the waves on the sea with some interest, and asked the first mate next to him, "It should have been six days since I left the port!" The first mate replied, "So, we've been here for three days!" Gates looked at the white spray drifting from the bow of the warship with a sad face, like tearing a huge hole in the pale blue sea, hitting the dark black side of the dragon's tooth ship, and there were many white water marks behind him, like a group of fierce sea beasts riding the wind and waves, and the fish around were frightened and fled in all directions,
This is the third detachment of the imperial privateer's fleet, the fleet commander is Si Edenger, from receiving the deployment to arriving at the destination, the third fleet only took three days, and the other three days have been hidden near an unknown island in the island chain, everyone is waiting, this naval battle has mobilized almost the entire privateer fleet, except for the third fleet to the waters of Antoros, the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh fleets of the first sortie are all with their own missions, lurking in this huge island chain, like a big net spread out, "You say, who is the enemy that His Majesty is targeting this time?" Gatsa was idle and bored anyway, and joked with the first mate next to him, "I don't know, but this net is so big, big enough to swallow the entire island chain!" The first mate hesitated for a moment, and said intermittently, "If it is only in terms of strategic goals, I really can't think of such a big target, unless it is the navy of the Obarro continent!"
"Attention, the flagship has raised the flag, it's the battle flag,!" At this moment, the excited voice of the flag bearer sounded overhead, and the two people who were chatting didn't know that because of the misjudgment of shape and strength, someone on the other side of the sea actually planned a big battle that stirred up the entire Obaro Sea, because the cause was the misjudgment of the Antolus Sea, so in later generations, this battle also became the great turbulence of Antoros.
