The sea of Antolus was cloudless, the sky was clear, and on the sea level like a white line in the distance, a black sail appeared in the sight of the harbor lookout.

"Attention! What's that?" several soldiers on the watchtower looked at the black dots in the distance a little blankly,

"Is it a pirate?" asked a soldier uncertainly, this was a temporary recruit, because the harbor guard had suffered heavy losses from the raid some time ago, and had to recruit some men from the island's inhabitants to help!

Although the island of Antolus is not large, as a hub of North and South Hokkaido, there are many sailors and merchants who come and go, and over time, the first inhabitants of the island are formed.

"It doesn't look like that!" his companion quickly denied this, this is a very experienced old sailor, he raised his right thumb, stretched out the distance, and said, "Although pirates also hang black sails, but they will never have such a warship, don't look at it is a black spot, it is 20 nautical miles away, if it is an Imperial warship, it is a little reluctant, but if there is only one, there is nothing worth noting, don't forget, we have a fleet stationed here."

At this moment, the exclamation of the sentry was heard from the side, and the sentry looked at the sea in the distance with a stunned face, and raised his hand and shouted, "Oh, my God!

"What's wrong?"

The old sailor looked in the direction of his finger, his body shuddered deeply, only to see that where the black dots appeared just now, countless black colors spread like a slender line, with his experienced experience, it was at least a hundred or more large warships that were speeding towards this side, "Enemy attack!" The mournful bell rang at the position of the watchtower, and the port that had just settled down from the attack panic immediately became a mess,

"Father, the enemy's fleet is coming!"

Young Myronlis looked nervous and pushed open the door of his father's office, in the office was sitting Admiral Merendi, and opposite him sat an old admiral with gray hair, it was Admiral Ayazer, who had arrived by order to arrive,

Myronlis was stunned for a moment, he didn't know when the Valician fleet arrived, and the old man in front of him, whose face was a little haggard, but who had short hair like silver needles, proved that he was not as droopy as the outside world rumored.

Hearing Myronlis's voice, Ayaxue turned his head, his eyes were as sharp as lightning and turned around Myronlis, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he smiled at Myrondi next to him, "Tiger father has no dog son Merendi, I have long heard that you have a good son, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation!"

"This kid who doesn't know any etiquette makes you laugh! Don't hurry up and salute Lord Ayaze," Myrondy's old face flushed slightly, and he scolded Myronlith with a little anger

"Lord Ayaze!"

Myronlis hurriedly straightened his body and gave a military salute to the old admiral, his eyes contained respect This is from the heart, in the Imperial Navy, this old admiral is very respected A lot of Imperial fleet admirals have been taken care of by him when he was young, if it weren't for his overly stubborn character and offending someone in the royal family, it is said that the Imperial Lion Ayaze, who had already served as the Minister of Operations, or had already been promoted to the chief of the Imperial Navy.

"Okay, don't scold me in my heart, it's not bad to be a bad old man! Compared to you young people, I'm really old" Ayaze waved his hand to him, and smiled very kindly, it seems that he is not unaware of the outside world's evaluation of him, until this moment, the old admiral's demeanor is like an old man who has just woken up, but the cold light occasionally flashes in his eyes, with a fierceness that makes people dare not face it

"How many warships are there coming?" said Melendi, looking at his son,

"I don't know for the time being, but it should be around a hundred!" Myronlis replied with a cautious expression

"In that case, then order the fleet to meet it!" Merendi stood up, picked up his military hat from the table, and nodded to the old Admiral Ayaze, who also stood up next to him, and said, "My fleet will deal with the enemy according to the plan until the enemy ship group is introduced into this water, and the rest will be left to you, the danger of this battle will determine the safety of the imperial coastal defense, if the enemy opens a gap in Antorus, the empire will have to face the crisis of fighting with the Holy Sigst Empire and the Falcon Kingdom on two fronts, so please also fully assist!" Rest assured, I and the Lisbong local fleet have more than 60 warships combined, and I have also asked for a detachment of heavy battleships from the Admiralty, which should be able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy in the event of a surprise attack on the enemy's flank!"

The look on Ayaze's face turned stern, and he could hear a resolute meaning from the tone of this prestigious imperial admiral, with 14 wrecked ships against the other party's hundreds of warships, it was not an easy matter "One qiē please!"

Merendi once again respectfully gave a solemn military salute to the old admiral, and hurried away with his son.

Admiral Ayaze, with white hair, came to the window of his office, through which he could see that on the flank of the island of Antorus, in the huge group of masts that towered like a forest, the huge bows of ten warships rose and fell with the waves, and the huge hulls of the ships were obviously larger than the other warships around them, like ten huge sea beasts crouching there

Looking at these ten giant ships, the pupils of the old Admiral Ayaze still couldn't help but shrink slightly, the Imperial Heavy Battleship is an upgraded version of the Empire's main battleship, and it was built to deal with the old opponent Sacred Sigst's Panghai-class super battleship,

With a tonnage of 110 tons, almost completely covered with solid iron plates on the outside, and ten giant trebuchets with a range of more than 300 meters, it is a real sea giant of the Imperial Navy "Fleet sortie preparation!"

On the temporary dock where the battleship docked, there were naval sailors coming and going, all kinds of supplies were piled up in the warehouse area, and the faces of the naval officers and sailors who were walking quickly in the busy noise carried an indescribable solemnity,

Even if they didn't have time to stop and chat, they passed each other, exchanging a cherished and bloodshot look before hurrying to where their battleship was

On December 11, 11 of the 1st year of the Falcon Empire calendar,

The Battle of Antoros, known as the "Battle of the Two-Headed Serpent" by later military scientists, broke out, and neither of the two sides who fought at the beginning did not realize that the direction of the battle would be so strange and bizarre
