On the morning of May 15, just after dawn, a fast horse galloped through the city of Harvey with its master.

Half an hour later, Viscount Acker Ella woke up to a commotion, and when he reluctantly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the familiar face of Count Ellie Delmar, the Prime Minister of the castle.

Viscount Ake said that he didn't hate his aunt, but he couldn't say that he liked it, but at this moment, the other party appeared here so rudely, which made Viscount Ake feel a little angry, and he glanced at the magic clock on the wall...

But it was only a quarter past five in the morning.

"You'd better explain, my dear Aunt Ellie. Viscount Ake's tone was cold.

In the Hoko Islands, because the Duke of Enxi has been adrift on the sea for many years to trade by sea, the affairs in the territory have been managed by the duke's eldest son, Viscount Ake, since five years ago.

At times, the Viscount's words were even more effective than the de facto ruler of the Hoko Islands, Duke Enxi.

"My dear nephew, if you want to be angry, read this information first. Count Ellie handed over the parchment scroll he held tightly in his hand.

When Viscount Ake heard this, he had to suppress the anger in his heart.

By the time the contents of the scroll were revealed to Viscount Ake, the anger in his heart had long since vanished, and all that was left was disbelief.

"Is this true?" asked Viscount Ake.

"I'm afraid so. ”

"Did the navy grow up eating?" Viscount Ake's anger rose again, "I don't even know about my own enemies, let our military intelligence chief give me an accurate answer in three hours, or let him go to see the goddess." ”

"I have ordered Count Yves to assemble our fleet, but the order to attack requires you to give it personally, and as for those in the MI, it requires you to write the warrant yourself. As he spoke, Earl Ellie handed over a warrant with the contents written, but the signature had not yet been signed.

"I will personally go to the naval base. "Viscount Ake took the warrant and threw it on the ground without looking at it, as a qualified ruler, he would not sign a warrant to mobilize the strongest military force in his territory just because of a few words from his prime minister.

Seeing this, Count Ellie frowned slightly, and then left the room with a wave of Viscount Ake's hand.

Just when the high-level officials of the Hoko Islands were still confirming the information, the offensive and defensive battle of the port of Volt had started half an hour ago, and under the absolute superiority of the Misha Kingdom, the garrison of less than 1,000 in the port was defeated and retreated under the strong attack of the other side, and it was about to lose the entire port, while the reinforcements of the city of Sevis did not move.

An hour later, the port of Volt fell.

It was only by this time that the navy of the Hoko Islands was fully assembled.

However, it is too late now, the fleet of the Kingdom of Misha has already completely occupied the Strait of Sevis, coupled with the large number of naval heavy ballista equipment hoarded in the port of Volt that has just been obtained, even if the navy of the Hoko Islands has a numerical advantage, in the narrow Strait of Sevis, the numerical superiority has become a burden.

On the flagship of the Hoko Islands Navy 'Harvey', Viscount Ake tried his best to control his anger and the faint tension in his heart, and the Vice-Admiral Earl Eve was carefully reporting the battle report after the war, and it was no surprise that it was all bad news.

"Ake, the fall of the port of Volt is a foregone conclusion, and then—" Count Ellie felt the need to remind his nephew.

"Then the whole island of Sevis will fall, and we have no power to stop it!" said Viscount Ake, spitting out between his teeth.

On the island of Sevis, there was only one corps garrison, and there were only regular weapons and equipment, and there were no combat readiness materials needed for long-term operations, and according to front-line battlefield intelligence, the enemy's assault troops responsible for storming the port alone were as many as 10,000.

Count Yves lowered his head and responded: "I'm afraid that's the case, although the ships of the enemy fleet are not as large as ours, if we fight in the Strait of Sevis, the numerical advantage is not obvious, and the heavy crossbow arrows and bows and arrows on our warships are only enough for one salvo, and the mage troops have not had time to assemble, and the enemy army..."

"I have eyes," Viscount Ake coldly interrupted Count Yve's useless explanation, "and if you talk nonsense, I don't mind letting you start as a sailor again." ”

Viscount Ake's sudden interruption made Count Yves pause, and the meaning revealed in the other party's words made the old sailor immediately dissatisfied, he looked at Viscount Ake's young face, and subconsciously wanted to refute a few words...

"Count Yve. The Prime Minister, Count Ellie, immediately saw what Count Yves meant, she took two steps forward, stood in the middle age of Count Yves and Viscount Ake, looked at Count Yves and asked, "As a naval colonel, do you have any good advice for facing the current situation?"

The Earl of Clothes who was suddenly robbed almost bit his tongue, he looked at Count Ellie, and after looking at the warning look in the other party's eyes, he swallowed the words of the other party immediately, and then quietly withdrew two steps and said: "I propose to withdraw our warships immediately to preserve our living forces, and at the same time, send a fleet to flank the island to meet the evacuation of the island's lords and important supplies." ”

"What do you see?" said Count Ellie, looking at his nephew.

"Yes. Viscount Ake nodded, his finger lightly tapping his finger over the Strait of Sevis on the map, "What I want to know is when the naval forces will be able to strike again, and I mean enough for a large-scale naval battle." ”

Viscount Ake is not stupid, he also knows very well that if he continues to entangle with the opponent's navy outside the Strait of Sevis, not only will he not have a chance of winning, but will be slowly eaten and eliminated by the other party, and the idea of retreating has already appeared in his heart, but as a ruler, this kind of thing cannot be said by himself.

"If supplies are sufficient, and the mage troops can be assembled in time, it will take up to three days. Count Yves said through gritted teeth.

Viscount Ake raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said to Count Eve, "Give you five days, after five days, I need a fleet that can really fight all the time, and in these five days, all supplies in the territory will be given priority to the navy!" Without waiting for Count Eve's answer, the viscount looked at Earl Ellie on the side, "Let the lords gather all the soldiers and tell them that war has come." ”

"Understood!" both agreed almost at the same time.

Viscount Ark nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at the cabin, "What about the commander of our military intelligence department?" Earl Ellie heard this and was about to answer, but Viscount Ark said again: "Forget it, let him resign himself... Dain!" He shouted his subordinates.

A few seconds later, a shrewd young man came out of the crowd and bowed to Viscount Ake.

"From now on, you are my Chief of Military Intelligence, and by this time tomorrow, I need to know who our enemy is!" Viscount Ark announced the appointment with everyone's astonished eyes, and then he looked at everyone: "What are you still stunned for? Order the withdrawal of troops, our soldiers are dying senselessly on the front line." ”
