Prologue (3)-11 Is that a troop carrier?

"Over there! that's their main fleet!" the lieutenant said in a panic, pointing to the front.

"Original...... Those big ships are ......," Fleet Commander Theresarini looked at the approaching enemy fleet in the distance, "I see...... Those two are just ...... It's just that the former troops ......"

The galleons behind the enemy were larger than their two twin mast sailboats, which were used as the main force - the tall galleons, with three mainmasts and no oars, were very different from the galleons of the Rotisetitian civilization.

The commander of the fleet, Telesarini, and of course the sailors on board, could not have imagined that two oar-sail ships, twice as large as theirs, were merely the enemy's advance ships!

A "boom" suddenly sounded not far from the side.

Another of your own warships has been hit hard by the opponent's projectile!

Now, the attacks of the enemy's advance ships are so powerful, and the next big ships are likely to be even more terrifying!

"I can't help it...... Fall back!...... Let's retreat for the time being!" Theresarini made a decision, "Retreat first, join up with the support fleet coming from the rear, and then we will fight together......!"

......

The remaining ships of the First Fleet were finally withdrawn.

The three fleets of Sanabetili, or rather, two and a half fleets, converged.

Now, these ships will join forces and continue to defend against enemy attacks.

"Those ships on the other side look a little strange......" Theresarini looked at the large ships in the enemy's rear, a little frightened in confusion, and then continued, "Why didn't they just drive over and turn ?......"

"Sir, maybe this is good news, the other party may not dare to attack rashly when they see so many of our passing boats!" the adjutant on the side began to speculate.

"If such a big ship doesn't dare to attack...... Could it be ?...... Is that their troop carrier?" Fleet Commander Teresarini said this, his tone was a little more relaxed, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "The troop carrier should be nothing, if that's the case, then let's attack directly!"

"Okay!" the adjutant immediately became confident, "It's much easier to wipe out those soldiers at sea than on land!"

The horn of the attack sounded again.

All the combat ships of the three fleets began to accelerate forward.

......

All the ships continued to move forward.

"Behold, they are ......," the fleet commander Theresarini watched in bewilderment.

Those enemies began their bewildering operations again.

The two-masted oars and sails of the opponent, who had previously lined up in front for a long-range fire attack, began to retreat.

And those big ships, which were considered troop carriers, actually began to move forward ?!

"What's going on?......" The adjutant was also puzzled.

"This ...... It can't be a trap?......" said Theresarini, somewhat uncertain.

The other side's "troop carriers" were still on their sides and stopped there.

"Quick!Let all the ships retreat again!, this is probably a trap!" Teresarini began to tense.

As soon as Teresarini's words fell, a row of fires suddenly appeared on the "troop carriers" on the other side, and a sound followed, and gray-white smoke and dust suddenly spread around the hull of the ship on one side!
