On the endless sea, the Combined Fleet is riding the waves.

This was the third day after Viscount Ake led the first and second detachments of the combined fleet from Seka Town, and the first day of the imperial calendar year 336.

Today, the officers and men of the navy on the ships are busy from six o'clock in the morning, they are busy celebrating the arrival of the New Year, and the organ, the mouth flute, the military dance, and the barbecue on the deck are all their entertainment.

Although the party was a bit shabby, the young lads were satisfied with enough beer.

Viscount Ake got up at five o'clock in the morning, and after a round trip around his flagship, the Flying, he hid in the lounge, he was not used to the festive scene, and he did not want his presence to disrupt the soldiers' original plans.

He's ready for a good night's sleep today.

But no sooner had he laid down than Buck came uninvited.

"Do you want to spend the first day of the new year in your dreams?" said Buck, holding a barrel of wine, his lieutenant, Captain Merlot, carrying a roasted smoked leg of lamb.

Viscount Ark smiled a rare and said, "Are you planning to have a drinking party with me?"

"The sea breeze is a bit cold, and I think you'd love to have a drink. Buck made a sneering joke as he motioned to the adjutant to put the leg of mutton down: "I can guarantee that there will be no problems with the fleet while we drink." ”

"What are you waiting for?" said Viscount Ake, shrugging.

...

The simple celebration on the surface of the sea lasted for two hours.

At ten o'clock in the morning, while the sailors were cleaning the decks of their warships, a clipper appeared in the lookout scope of the observation post of the flagship Flying.

"There are clippers!" three nautical miles in front of the fleet...", the sound of the observation post was heard by the sea breeze to the ears of the sailors below.

Soon, Viscount Ake and Buck got the news.

The two of them walked out of the cabin with a strong smell of alcohol, and opened their respective goggles on the second deck of the Flying to look straight ahead.

On the blue sea, a small clipper is speeding towards the fleet, and the flag of the Combined Fleet on the mast of the clipper is flying in the wind.

"This is the fifth detachment stationed in the new port of Mage Tarot. Buck quickly recognized the clipper, and the fourth and fifth detachments of the Combined Fleet were all Hoko Islands ships, which had slightly larger sails and longer keels.

"I hope that group of mages will bring us good news. Viscount Ake let out a breath of wine, and the cold sea breeze on his hot cheeks made him feel very comfortable.

After the naval battle with the goblins, the 4th and 5th detachments of the Combined Fleet originally wanted to return to the Hoko Islands first, but halfway through they received news of the fall of the port of Klot, so they were stationed at the nearby port of Luoxin, of course, for a fee.

"Haha. Buck's laughter, perhaps because of the alcohol, was a little presumptuous, and he exclaimed, "I hope that the elven fleet will be buried at the bottom of the ocean because of some unknown typhoon..."

The surrounding naval officers and sailors burst into laughter when they heard his words, and some of them even had expectant expressions on their faces.

Viscount Ark smiled noncommittally, but he didn't expect such a small chance to happen, and when the laughter of the sailors around him stopped, he ordered: "Go and confirm their identities, and then bring the people on board to me." ”

Major Cyps, the adjutant beside him, heard Viscount Ake's order and personally left with two cronies.

More than an hour later,

The men on the clipper of the fifth detachment were brought to Viscount Aker and Buck after several turns.

The man in the lead was the lieutenant of Sir Banco Burton, the leader of the fifth detachment, An'l Laka, who had a weathered face and was a fisherman off the coast of the Hoko Islands before the start of this war, and owned a medium-sized fishing boat.

"Your Excellency. Anraka bowed to Viscount Aker, his gaze resting on the seagull coat of arms on Viscount Aker's naval collar, "Anrlaka greets you." ”

"I hope you have good news. Viscount Ake's tone was flat, but his eyes were full of anticipation, and he expected the other party to bring him good news... He's been tossed up with bad news lately.

"The mages of Drake have spotted the elven main fleet... They were sailing quickly along the northern coastline of Feld Territory towards the military port of Yekjar. "According to the speculation of our detachment leader, Sir Banco Burton, the elven fleet will arrive in the waters near the military port of Yekjar between the 5th and the 7th. ”

"The size of the elven fleet, and the style of the warship?" Buck couldn't help but ask, the plan of the elven fleet was not a matter of concern to them, because these problems could be deduced by any staff officer.

"Considering the size of the Imperial fleet, there are about four detachments!" replied Arlaka, "most of their warships are double-decker giant warships, and there are only a few clippers and medium-sized twin-sailed warships...", he said, taking out a thick cowhide package from his bosom, "Here are magical photographs in the style of elven warships, and I saw the group of mages hand-handed over to our detachment leader." ”

An'erlaka's words drew the attention of everyone around him to the thick cowhide wrap, including Viscount Ake, of course... When Viscount Aker's aide-de-camp, Major Cyps, raised his foot to pick up the package, Viscount Aker himself had already taken two steps forward.

"Qiang"

When Viscount Ake's hand just touched the package, a cold light flashed in Viscount Ake's eyes full of anticipation... The young commander felt only a chill in his neck, followed by a piercing pain coming from his neck, and the next moment, he felt the cowhide package in his hand suddenly become heavy.

"Bang" package fell on the deck ...

The crimson blood was unusually dazzling at this moment.

"It's an assassin!" Colonel Buck's face changed dramatically, the blood splashed on his face made his scalp tingle, and he instinctively pulled out the scimitar at his waist and slashed at the arm that Anraka was stabbing.

"Hey," Anraka smiled sheepishly, and as Buck's scimitar struck, he quickly stepped back, followed by two dull footsteps on the deck...

In the next second, Buck only heard a "plop", and Ankara had jumped into the sea.

"Paladin! Paladin!" Buck ignored the assassin who jumped into the sea, he did his best to keep himself calm, and pressed against the bleeding artery in Viscount Ake's neck,

Buck stared at Viscount Ake's wound, and his heart had sunk to the bottom.

The dagger has already severed the entire throat of Viscount Ake!

Finally, after a period of confusion, the Holy Power began to flow slowly through Viscount Ake's wound,

The wound is also healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"Ahem"

Viscount Ake, who was lying on the deck, had bloodshot eyes, and his right blood-covered hand suddenly grabbed Buck's arm and coughed up two mouthfuls of black, fishy-smelling blood.

"Let... The fleet continues ... Continue..."Viscount Ark wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a complete sentence with all his might, and the unstoppable blood began to gush as soon as he opened his mouth.

"It's elemental poison. The paladin next to him whispered.

And Viscount Ake's lips were still agitating, and he wanted to explain something.

"Don't worry, I'll drive the United Wing to the Yekjar Military Port, and I'll make the elves pay for it!" Buck assured with nowhere to vent his resentful anger in his heart.

"Poof" blood continued to flow down Viscount Aker's open mouth, but Viscount Aker lost his life to Buck's assurance.

Everyone present fell silent.

"What about the Assassins?" Buck yelled at the sailors around him after a brief silence, "Drop anchor, I'm going to catch the Assassin!"

"It's over, it's over!" Viscount Ake's lieutenant, Cyps, chest heaved violently.

"The assassins have jumped into the water, and our men have followed!" replied Buck's lieutenant, Captain Merlot, aloud on the lower deck.

Buck's grim gaze looked at the other sailors who had arrived with the Assassins, who had been pinned to the ground by a group of angry marines.

"The goddess is above, we don't know anything..."

"Anrak, that bastard..."

The sailors were terrified!

Buck frowned when he saw the reaction of these people, and then said to the left and right, "I don't care what you use, get these people to speak as soon as possible, I want to know everything I want to know." ”

"What about the Assassins?" Buck shouted again as he repeated into the deck below, and before he could reply, he shouted again, "Send ten times as many men, I want that Assassin, dead or alive!"

"It's over, it's over!" Viscount Ake's lieutenant continued to mumble to himself.

"Put him in an iron cage for me!" Buck thought for a moment, pointing to the young lieutenant in a trance.

"Boss, the flagships of the first and second detachments sent a flag asking what was going on. ”

"I told you, stop calling me boss, don't call me again!" Buck turned and slammed his fist on the sailor who asked him about it, and when the sailor was finished, there was another punch and kick.

"I was wrong, Boss, I was wrong, Boss, no, no, it's Colonel Buck, I'm wrong, Colonel Buck!" the sailor begged for mercy on the ground, and Buck yelled at the people nearby, "Let Sergeant Cassius, the leader of the first detachment, and Sir Pato, the leader of the second detachment, come to the meeting on the Flying in an hour!"

No one answered him, for it was too noisy on the Flying to be heard by his roar.

"I'll give you half an hour, and in half an hour I'll want the assassin to appear in front of me. Buck left a word and returned to Viscount Ake's lounge.

He needs to be alone and quiet,

It's terrible!

He was afraid that his riotous emotions would affect his next choice.

...

In less than half an hour,

Captain Merlot fished a middle-aged man out of the sea and placed him in an iron cage and on the lower deck.

But this man is not the Anrakar of the moment at all!

Buck, who arrived in the air, regained his composure and asked, "What's going on?"

"A disguised tactic commonly used by members of the 'Brotherhood' of the Swamp of Death. Captain Merlot replied, "It stands to reason that such a method should not escape the inspection of Viscount Ake's own soldiers... Maybe we should ask them what's going on?" (https:)
