Chapter Forty-Eight: The Sluggish Situation
"See, A Twenty-One is really powerful, and it broke the other party in one fell swoop!" Han Lie walked casually on the deck, chatting with the soldiers he encountered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The soldier named Jia Twenty-One in front of him belonged to Han Lie's personal guard, and he was very brave in the previous battle to rescue Ruoxi.
Of course, what Han Lie said just now was an exaggeration, and even Jia Twenty-one lowered his head in shame. It is a fact that the Twenty-One Enemy was broken, but the enemy was already seriously wounded, and only the last blow was made.
"Owner, I'm on night duty." When Jia Twenty-One heard the island owner say this, he was teased by his companion next to him and hurriedly ran away. Her companion also greeted the owner of the island and followed.
"Lord Han is so interested." Ruoxi walked over from behind.
"You don't have to be so outside, just call me by my name." Han Lie turned around and said to Ruoxi, "Why don't you rest for a while?" We're going to get to our destination in a while. ”
Ruoxi was temporarily safe after being rescued by Han Lie. On the way to escape, Ruoxi and her soldiers were very tired, so they all returned to the cabin to rest under the escort of Han Lie's fleet.
When I woke up, it was already late at night. Because he almost lost the island owner, Trust stayed by Ruoxi's side and fell into a deep sleep.
Ruoxi gently covered her with a blanket, kissed her on the forehead, and walked out of the room.
I asked a few of Han Lie's soldiers, found a few ships, and finally ran into each other. Ruoxi's heart was naturally full of gratitude, but when she thought of it, she became sad again.
"Where are we going?" Ruoxi put away her sad emotions, the other party saved herself, and she couldn't be infected by her sad emotions anymore.
Han Lie took a glass of juice from the plate brought by Langley, motioned for Ruoxi to drink a cup as well, and said, "Go to my friend Mu, after sailing on the sea for so long, it's time to find an island to rest." Langley, how far is it? ”
Langley put away his plate, took out a chart, looked at it, and said, "At the current rate, we should be able to arrive before dawn." ”
"Wood?" Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "Is it Morishima?" ”
"Hey, yes, do you know each other?"
"No, I don't know Wood." Ruoxi's face became a little ugly, and said, "But I know that Crawn's next target should be Morishima!" ”
"Eh" Han Lie subconsciously pinched the water cup in his hand, fortunately, the quality was hard enough and it was not broken.
"From the first island, Clone has planned it." Ruoxi walked to the chart that Langley had spread out, pointed to one of the top and said, "This is the first island to be attacked, and here is next." ”
When he pointed to Ruoxi's own island, a trace of grief flashed in his eyes, but he covered it up well, and continued: "When Crawn attacks here, his intentions will be obvious, and Morishima will be his next target." ”
"I'm really bold, I'm not afraid of my goal being exposed at all." Since Ruoxi has said so, then everyone in the South Bay United Alliance should know about it. I just know that I am more closed to information.
"Yes, with such a strong strength, it is natural to have no fear." Ruoxi drank the juice in his hand and said, "I'm afraid, he wants us to gather all our strength and fight him again." ”
"If you don't fight a decisive battle, if it continues, sooner or later it will be wiped out and swallowed up little by little. Only in a decisive battle can there be a glimmer of life. Han Lie looked at Ruoxi, hesitated, and still asked her, "Although I'm very sorry, I still want to know the specific situation of your previous battle with Crowne." ”
Although it is rude to ask such a question, it is easy to arouse the other party's sad feelings. But for Han Lie, who has little intelligence, Ruoxi, who has fought directly with Clun and has fought two battles in a row, has too much information that he needs.
"Being immersed in sad emotions all the time doesn't help reality at all." Ruoxi smiled slightly, under the shroud of the moonlight, it was very beautiful.
Ruoxi naturally knew that these direct information were very important to Han Lie, and at the moment, he sorted out his thoughts, starting from the formation of a combined fleet and the first battle with Crawn, and carefully told Han Lie about Clouen's situation this time.
Langley, who was on the side, was also listening, and took a notebook to jot down the key points.
Wood was upset at this time, because he received the news that Crown's fleet had finished recuperating and set off again. And the direction he is heading in is indeed himself here. Although there were predictions in advance, I was still worried when it really came.
The strength of the wood, among all the island owners, can be said to be the strongest group of individual strength. Only Crown, who is the Admiral of South Bay, can crush the wood in terms of individual strength.
But Clounn's large fleet, which concentrated one-third of the enemy's strength, was not something that one or two island owners could contend with. Thankfully, the South Bay United Alliance has made the important decision to use Morishima as the venue for another showdown with Cloun!
Not long after the defeat of the last Combined Fleet, it would be very unwise to start a major war again, because if it fails this time, the South Bay United Alliance will collapse, and at most it will go underground to fight guerrillas.
However, Crawn has already forced the South Bay United Alliance to a dead end, and once Morishima is captured, I am afraid that the South Bay United Alliance will have no chance to fight a decisive battle with Crown.
I'd rather fight everything than be swallowed up by Crawn little by little, the South Bay United Alliance, lacking the depth of evasion. Once you retreat, you can only give up the South Bay area. This is unacceptable to all the rookie island owners of the South Bay United Alliance.
Then, you can only fight! The owners of the island, with their families, have rushed to Morishima, determined to fight a battle to the death with Clounn to win a chance to survive in the waters of the South Bay.
Wood ran out of the conference room, where the atmosphere was too dreary, because the island owners had just experienced a defeat the other day, and there was a big disagreement between the island owners. Although they both advocate a duel with Crawn on Morishima, how can they win? For this reason, the owners of the island quarreled, and everyone had their own ideas.
The home of this battle is Morishima, and if Ki is strong enough, he can completely dominate the course of this war. However, wood can't be strong, and it can't stop the quarrel. First of all, Kazuki belongs to the same subordinate of the Phoenix Goddess, and the relationship with Kazuki is not good, and he does not particularly support him, and he cannot command the entire combined fleet with Mu's own strength alone.
As for Mike, the leader of the South Bay United Alliance, after the battle more than a month ago, many island owners have opinions about him, although there is still the support of Kiev, they can't integrate everyone.
Speaking of which, the reason why the combined fleet failed a few days ago was that in addition to Crawn's strong strength, there was no clear commander-in-chief on his side, and everyone fought on their own, which was also one of the reasons for the failure, right?
Mu Neng thought of it, and everyone naturally knew very well that the reason for such a quarrel now was also because he wanted to choose a commander. It's just that everyone has their own plans, and they can't be selected for a long time.
Wood sighed, deeply worried about the battle that followed, and walked towards the port. Either way, Clone was already on his way, and he had to get his defenses ready as soon as possible.
"Jin Jia, how are you preparing?"
"The Owner." Jin Jia was busy all night, and only finished most of the things at this moment, and said, "Ours is all done, but how do those people arrange it?" ”
Jin Jia was talking about those who came to support, and as the host, Mu still had to prepare a batch of supplies for them. But because the commander-in-chief has not yet been elected, some people want to be on the island, and some people want to ambush nearby. It was even proposed to ambush Clounn on the way to come.
"There are obviously not many people left, and there are still so many ideas." Wood is even less hopeful about the future.
However, he is not as desperate as Ruoxi, and Mu, who once made meritorious contributions to the Goddess of Wind, can still return to the headquarters of the Phoenix Goddess even if he fails in the end and loses everything. Any island owner can go back, but he has lost his foothold, and it is difficult for the goddess to give the territory at will. And Mu Zeng's meritorious deeds can ensure that he is placed in a good position.
Of course, if there is hope, Mu still wants to stay in the waters of the South Bay.
"So be it." Hearing some commotion behind him, Mu turned around and saw that the island owners who were arguing had already come out, and it seemed that there was a result.
"The result?" Wood asks Fick if he has worked together for a while, and he is quite familiar.
"What can happen," Fick shrugged and said, "each fights his own way, perhaps, everyone is starting to think about the way back." Fike chatted with Mu for a few words and left.
"yes, it looks like everyone has lost their confidence." Mu Mu sent everyone away, and suddenly felt a depression, the South Bay United Alliance has lasted for so long, and it seems that it is about to end.
A glimmer of morning light appeared on the sea level, rippling waves, and it was very beautiful. The night has passed, a new day has arrived, but the situation is still bleak.
"Island Lord, a fleet has been spotted on the sea!" The soldier in charge of the guard came to report, Mu Xin was already there, how did the other party come over so quickly!
"The flag of Elle is flying on the ship!" The soldiers on guard breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and at this time they came, except for the goddess Clara, who was under her hands, and they were all reinforcements.
Because he was a very good friend with Han Lie, he had also sent a message to Guyun Island before, but at that time, Han Lie had already left with the fleet, and Blowing Snow could only reply that he could not contact the island owner, because he could not know the specific location. Being able to arrive at this time, Mu was naturally very happy and hurried to the port to greet him.
"Ou eats spear!" Han Lie, who arrived at the port, looked at the one in front of him and almost wanted to punch Mu.
It's no wonder that the other two subordinates of Goddess Feng in Nanwan don't like wood, among the soldiers that this guy used to greet everyone in the port, there were six silver-level soldiers! If you join and walk all the way to the island, you will come across one after a while.
When he really saw Mu, Han Lie had already calmed down, just looking at Mu's smiling face and the golden armor next to him, why did he want to beat him up so much?
