"Where are the pirates fleeing?"

"South by Southwest, in the direction of the Kingdom of Yogyakarta, Your Excellency the Commander."

Hearing the sound, he quickly sensed the strangeness in it, and vigilantly glared at the bloodshot yellow eyes, although the goblin marshal who was temporarily transferred to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Invincible Armada was not familiar with naval warfare, but it was almost immersed in the sword light and sword shadow and blood murderous aura all its life, the strange behavior of the pirates made it smell the smell of conspiracy, and the goblin marshal who was slightly groaning spoke:

"Tell me, could this be a trap set by pirates? Some of our friends have sent us a message that the pirates are going to have a big operation in the near future, most likely against the Armada. ”

At this moment, a big goblin commander stood up with a heart full of indignation, and he bowed with his hand to his chest, and said in a loud voice:

"Your Excellency, no one can defeat our mighty Armada, and those pirates are creating panic to disrupt our vision."

There is no doubt that the outcome of the game of war is ultimately determined by strength, and no matter what new tricks the opponent plays, the strength of the Armada is far stronger than that of the combined fleet of pirates is also an unchangeable fact. When he thought of this, the goblin marshal nodded silently and said:

"Well, that makes sense. Then my lords, the Armada is indeed very powerful, but the relocation of the border and the forbidden sea must also be implemented, we must be prepared to face any conspiracy of the enemy, and the empire cannot accept defeat again. ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands."

The goblin officers who stood up in unison to answer were filled with pride at the moment, those pirates were thieves who were as sneaky as rats in the dark, and if they dared to provoke in front of the Invincible Armada, being crushed to scum would be the final end of their life story. Glancing at his subordinates, the goblin marshal, who was still a little hesitant, put aside the worries in his heart and said:

"Adjournment! This time, we will annihilate the main force of the pirate fleet, or at least inflict heavy damage on them, so please work together for this! Long live the Empire! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Senate! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”

A marathon long voyage on the vast Aetheric Sea is not an advantage of the Armada, similar to a warship like a sail warship that requires a lot of manpower to drive the oars, and even if the Goblin Overseer's whip and sword are powerful, it doesn't matter to the slave oarsmen who are so tired that they will die with only one breath left.

After a day and a night of chasing the pirates fleeing the battlefield, the Armada was forced to slow down the pursuit with all its might as the slave oarsmen ran out. In fact, the goblins were in no hurry at all, and at this point, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the combined fleet of pirates was moving in the direction of the Kingdom of Yogyakarta, and their intention to act was very obvious, intending to join up with the other pirates who were attacking the giant's gun factory there, which was an obvious answer.

"I order, the patrol detachment to act alone, immediately rush to the Kingdom of Yogyakarta with the highest sailing, and inform the friendly fleets to cooperate with our army to completely deal with these shameless and despicable pirates."

The decision of the goblin marshal in command of the Armada seemed to be very reasonable, and the other goblin generals did not express any disagreement, and the order was immediately carried out.

Far from being a peaceful land, the New World is a chaotic land that no one has ever set foot in beyond the known Seven Seas, a terrifying land of elemental storms and spatial rifts. Removing those unknown and extremely dangerous places, the entire area of the new world is too vast, too big for any force to produce such a completely unreliable distortion as dominating the world**. Not to mention the success of mobilizing tens of thousands of troops across the vast Aetheric Sea to organize an expedition of laborers, it is still highly unknown whether the journey in years alone consumes the lifelong enthusiasm of any great conqueror.

The second goblin empire, which has already occupied the main 6 to dominate the world, has almost exhausted the power of external expansion, and the goblins with a little sense know how to stop in moderation. Because of this, even if the rich and lazy Kingdom of Yogyakarta is a piece of fat that rests on the lips of the goblin Second Empire, it is a pity that the goblins whose bellies have already eaten are in a state of severe indigestion, and they have little interest and appetite to start another war of conquest and plunder new lands. For now, the goblins only want to do their best to eliminate potential threats, including but not limited to the elimination of the descendants of the Emperor of Light, as well as pirate groups that are as annoying as flies

The goblin fleet's actions so far have been in sync with what the pirates had predicted in the Chamber of Secrets, and it makes sense to say that in the Old World it was said that "a cat doesn't walk in a straight line depends on a mouse". If the Armada wants to pursue the combined fleet of pirates, it will have to be led around by the opponent who has the initiative, and it is about to come to the decisive moment when the two sides will spread their hole cards.

"The goblins are coming."

On the high ground to the left of the pirate fleet's temporary anchorage, near the harbor of an unnamed desert island not far from the main route of the Yogyakarta Kingdom, Gauder Needham said something lightly, and then he dodged away from the barrel of the fortress artillery team's large binoculars, leaving his place to the other pirate lords.

Luo Zhengdao, who didn't come forward with everyone to join in the fun, smiled slightly when he heard this, and said:

"Hehe, we've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"

Hearing this, a resolute look appeared on Gao De's face, and he said in an unquestionable tone:

"Your Excellency is right, we have waited a long time to destroy the Invincible Armada, and the goblins will not take the bait next time."

One of the pirate leaders next to him smiled dryly, and he interjected:

"Do you need to talk about that? Let's get ready, tomorrow will be a big day! ”

Sun Tzu's Art of War said: A hundred miles of profit and profit. Checkmate. The non-combat attrition caused by a long march reduces the combat effectiveness of an army no less than fighting a battle of no lesser intensity. Whether in the old world or in the new world, the consequences of this long-distance forced march with an intensity similar to that of extreme sports are exactly the same, and the fat drag the thin, the thin drag to death, and the cruel process of the marathon march elimination is self-explanatory. In the Goblin Armada Armada, the maintenance of individual warships is not very good, the tacit cooperation of sailors is insufficient, or some other small problems that seem inconspicuous on weekdays, in the face of such high-intensity, long-term continuous tests, there is no room for concealment, and it has been fully exposed.

It is not uncommon for goblin warships to fall behind and be damaged in the middle of the way, and it is not uncommon for the slave oarsmen to be suppressed in a collective rebellion, and when the Armada finally arrived in the territory of the Yogyakarta Kingdom, the huge fleet that was still mighty on the surface was more than 20 percent less than when they set sail from the sea off the coast of Dongning.

"It has been reported that pirates are besieging the gun factory in Malé, and the army of the Kingdom of Yogyakarta is putting up resistance, and a heavy artillery battle is taking place between the two sides."

Already visible from afar the reflection of the firelight over the battlefield, the goblin marshal pushed the brim of his hat with a splendid scepter inlaid with rubies the size of an egg, and then touched a brown goatee on his chin and said:

"Well, inform the whole fleet to drop anchor and get ready."

The goblins are not in a hurry to fight for the Yogyakarta Kingdom, not to mention that the two sides are just trading partners, they can barely be regarded as allies! Even if they are genuine allies, the Armada is not obligated to shed blood for the giants, so they must negotiate a price before they can lend a hand.

The Kingdom of Yogyakarta is very rotten, it is far from being vulnerable, as the second class in the country after the giants, the Cyclops have excellent shooting accuracy, especially when using long-range weapons, the advantage is greater, it is not that these big guys are too tall to fight in groups, and the Cyclops are definitely the most terrifying long-range weapons in the New World. The 4-pounder and 6-pounder cannons used by ordinary merchant ships for self-defense were almost considered individual firearms in the hands of the Cyclops, who could move their firing positions at any time with a cannon in both hands, and reload their ammunition with ease.

As the cannon fired rapidly, until the barrel was too hot to be reloaded, the cyclops guarding an arsenal behind him simply replaced it with a new cannon, not caring at all about being consumed with pirates.

Despite being besieged by pirates, and relying on the strength of the Cyclops, the Male Artillery Factory, which had been slow to see reinforcements coming, was able to return the favor to the attackers from time to time, without any signs of decadence that they were about to fall. The dwarves who had been craftsmen in the gun factory were also armed by order of the Cyclops of the management, and these part-time musketeers were inevitably rusty in their shooting skills, but the dwarves' dense gun platoon tactics effectively compensated for the lack of Cyclops, and the dwarven musketeers, which fired at a constant frequency, successfully stopped the light pirate ships from approaching and suppressing the fire of the fortress. If you only look at the fierce fighting between the two sides, it is estimated that after another ten days and a half of fighting, the arsenal of Male may not be breached.

The goblin marshal looked at the goblin generals present, and suddenly remembered the two incompetent commanders who had been defeated repeatedly, and couldn't help but show disgust on his face, and said:

"Inform the two fools of Zheti Baishan and Modo Blackwater that their chance is to capture Will Needham, there is no need for them here, go and find an opportunity to destroy the enemy yourself!"

After receiving the latest instructions from their top bosses, the two goblin commanders who were in sympathy had to each lead dozens of warships under their command to break away from the main force of the Armada and search for clues left by Luo Zhengdao and the battleship formation. In view of the bad record of many previous failures in the mission, the two of them were also to blame for being reduced to the point of doing chores for others, and when the army was advancing strongly, they were kicked away by their superiors and lost their credit. It is impossible to say that these two generals did not feel aggrieved in their hearts, but how could the generals of the defeated army speak bravely, and they had to follow the orders in a disgraceful manner, so as not to incur more severe punishment.
