Chapter 100: Unwarranted Suspicion
Alger picked up the weapon that had fallen to the side and said to the adjutant, "Since Mr. Nangong has been saved"
Nangong Yu was saved, Alger breathed a sigh of relief, and said to his adjutant: "Find a few people, help Mr. Nangong into the cabin to rest!"
Nangong Yu shook his head lightly and said, "No, we are not out of danger for the time being, although most of Villanueva's flagship has been destroyed by me, we still can't be careless!"
Alger nodded, and ordered the fleet to belong to the sea, heading towards the mouth of the Black Sea! At this moment, the pirate fleet and the Ottoman fleet were in a mess without knowing the truth, and there was no one to command, and they could no longer organize an effective block. The speed of the two flagships was also fast, Nangong Yu took the lead, followed by Alger, and the rest of the sailing ships quickly broke away from the battlefield and rushed out of the Black Sea without much effort.
The sun slowly rises in the east, the sea slowly becomes brighter, and the fresh cool breeze blows in the face, and everyone has a feeling of being in a different world!
The old man and Villanueva climbed into a sailboat next to them from the sea with great difficulty, and if it weren't for the old man's skill, I am afraid that the two would have died in the Black Sea. Nangong Yu's shelling completely destroyed the flagship's overtime, and the masts in the middle and stern of the ship broke in unison, and it was in chaos. When the two looked towards the battlefield, they happened to see the stern of the opposing fleet, which had already broken out of the encirclement and headed for the sea. Villanueva had palpitations, he shivered in the cold sea, thinking of Nangong Yu's domineering power that swallowed mountains and rivers, and the violent murderous aura like a demon god, he was still frightened, and the old man still looked flat, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to shake his head secretly.
Not far away at this time, a sailing ship flying the flag of the Ottoman Empire slowly sailed by, and it was indeed the commander of the Ottoman navy on it, and before the ship could stop, there was an irrepressible strong anger: "Villanueva, what are you doing, you actually let them run, such a good opportunity did not kill the Venetian navy, and their flagship was almost blown up, do you know that we also dispatched a fleet in order to cooperate with you, you have to give me a reasonable reason for this failure!"
This commander was Sultan Salim's most valued subordinate, Owuzi Ali, and they were originally united only because of their interests. Salim hoped to use Villanueva's hand to wipe out Venice's navy, thus clearing more obstacles to his trade routes in the Mediterranean. But unexpectedly, the legendary Adriatic pirate king, plus part of the Ottoman navy, still allowed Alger to escape from their encirclement with his fleet. Alger Gallo also saw that the Ottomans and pirates were colluding, and if they wanted to compete with Venice, they had to face their prepared navy again, and the outcome was naturally unpredictable.
Villanueva made up his mind, after all, he had led pirates for decades, and he was able to handle this situation with ease, and said: "Your Excellency Omz Ali, why are you in such a hurry? You also saw that demon-like character just now, if it were you, would you be sure to face his attack? I'm afraid that you will be even worse than me at that time. But the good news is that the man is already seriously wounded, and most of the Venetian navy is dead and wounded, and when I reorganize the fleet and find out where the support is coming from, I will be able to inflict heavy damage on Venice, and our agreement is still valid!"
You must know that with Villanueva's prestige in the Mediterranean, it is quite rare to be able to clearly explain and even apologize, if it were not for Villanueva's fear that the Ottoman Empire would take advantage of the instability of its troops at this moment and turn against it, he would not have spoken like this!
But Ormuz Ali was still angry, snorted coldly, and said indignantly: "The Venetian navy should have disappeared into the Black Sea, so why wait for them to return to attack? It's not that your fleet is not strictly disciplined, and you are superior in military strength but you are frightened by the enemy's words and dare not fight, but it is a pity that we cooperated with you all night, but it was in vain." He has been on the periphery of the battlefield, so he didn't see Nangong Yu's feat of flying over several sailing ships, but he only knew that Venice had some reinforcements, and he heard that his subordinates reported that there were only five sailing ships, and it was these five sailing ships that actually rescued the Venetian navy from the Black Sea, how could he not be annoyed in his heart!
Villanueva's face changed: "Mr. Ali, what are you talking about? Could it be that we have gathered such a large fleet just to play a game with the Venetian navy on the Black Sea? I am not your Ottoman subordinate, but I will abide by our agreement, you don't have to say anything!"
Indignant, Ozm Ali turned back to his flagship and gave the order for all the Ottoman navy to withdraw and return to his own port for corrections, and at this time it was hopeless to continue the pursuit of the Venetian fleet, so he had to look for a better opportunity again!
Seeing the Ottoman navy retreating and heading towards Istanbul, Villanueva's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he drank: "All the fleets return to port, get ready, and set off in two days, and be sure to destroy them all before the Venetian navy recovers!!"
The old man next to him looked at Villanueva coldly, then turned back to the cabin below deck.
The Venetian navy that finally withdrew from the Black Sea was less than half at this time, and there were many seriously injured people who were dying.
On the other hand, Nangong Yu's troops, not a single soldier was killed, not even a seriously injured soldier, and all of them had high morale, if it weren't for Nangong Yu's injury, they even wanted to ask for their lives and stay in the Black Sea to continue to fight with the pirates!
Alger looked at these murderous soldiers, raised his eyebrows, came to Nangong Yu's side, and said: "Mr. Nangong, how did you train these soldiers, how do they look much stronger than the official Venetian army, you must know that although our Venetian troops are not many in number, but looking at all the countries in the entire Mediterranean, the combat effectiveness is also one of the best." If it weren't for the Ottomans' assistance this time, we would have been able to defeat Villanueva!!"
Nangong Yu's face was pale, but under the slow conditioning of the Yin and Yang Jue, he had now recovered a little blood, and he said: "Alger, there is a saying that if you want to shed less blood on the battlefield, then you must sweat more. I've also been in your barracks for a while, and the intensity of the training... I beg to differ. ”。
Alger smiled and said, intentionally or unintentionally, "If you have more troops, I'm afraid that in the entire Mediterranean, there is no country that can compete with it." ”
Nangong Yu narrowed his eyes, stood up by himself, and said to Alger: "Power, for me it is just an illusion, I have experienced more bloody scenes than this, Alger Gallo, you don't have to take me to heart, my goal is not your poor title!"
