After waiting for two days in the calm waters off the Xiangjiang River, but there was no trace of the human fleet, the big goblin commander, who sensed that something was wrong, immediately received information that the Chuanshan Islands were lost. Knowing that he had fallen for Will Needham's trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, Modo Blackwater would certainly not be willing to be played by a monkey, and it slaughtered the islands of Ship Mountain with great vigour.

When he led the large fleet to the vicinity of the Funayama Islands, Commander Modo, who was ready to regain the lost land with the backing of powerful force, was a little numb, and the terrifying sight of the mountains and rivers in front of him made him feel frightened. I don't know the depth and shallowness of the water in front of me, and rashly stepped into the enemy's preset position, what I did was not a warrior who regarded death as home, or else it was a Leng Touqing who didn't understand four or six. Modo Blackwater, who had survived a hundred battles, was obviously unable to rely on either side, and it chose to retreat in front of its incomprehensible miraculous vision. Since you can't see the opponent's moves, don't do it on the battlefield and time chosen by the enemy, it is easier to avoid defeat than to strive for victory, but the big goblin commander will inevitably have to sacrifice the little reputation that is left.

If there are more lice, there is no itching, if there are more debts, there is nothing to lose, and there is nothing to lose if he feels that his reputation is notorious, Modo Heishui, who has a gloomy face, smiled bitterly, waved his hand at his subordinates and said:

"Give the order to retreat! I will not agree to a war with humanity until I have obtained accurate information. ”

The towering rock walls that crisscross the island like a huge castle wall connect the Funayama Islands, enclosing the land and sea into a huge bay in the shape of the letter G, with the opening part of the G in the middle of the two islands closest to each other in a straight line. Needless to say, the intention of this is to facilitate defense, the land batteries located on both sides of the entrance to the bay can reach the beach on the opposite shore directly, and the sea area and other islands enclosed in it constitute a vast inland sea, the disadvantages of the original need to divide troops to garrison no longer exist, the defender has mastered the advantage of internal line mobility, with those ready-made forts and castle sites, even if the goblin fleet from afar has ten times the advantage of troops, it does not dare to say how many chances it can win, this is the grim reality that makes Modo Blackwater retreat without a fight.

The power of the magic card should not be underestimated, even if the so-called short-term effect, the duration is calculated in months, and the goblins dare not attack if they can't figure out the details. At the same time, Luo Zhengdao ordered to copy the Wake Reef model and turn the Funyama Islands into a new forward base, and it would become more and more difficult for the goblin fleet to threaten the main island of Wake Reef.

Marveling at Luo Zhengdao's miraculous and mysterious methods, Brando Scarlet quickly calmed down and asked:

"Your Highness, how long can your strength last?"

"Well, the next full moon night will basically be exhausted."

Although I can't understand the difference between this mysterious power of Luo Zhengdao and the arcane arts, the more powerful the power, the more difficult it is to last, and this basic common sense is still available to educated members of the upper class of the new world. Hearing this, Brando Scarlet nodded happily and said:

"Really? That's great, we have a build-up plan by the end of the month, so there's plenty of time to prepare. ”

Hearing the commander's optimistic speech, Luo Zhengdao shook his head, poured cold water and said:

"Don't be too happy, the goblins won't admit defeat if they don't risk attacking once, Modo Blackwater is a very clever admiral, and there are too many fools under him who don't know how to do it, even if Modo is not willing to take unnecessary risks to provoke, those fools will force it to do so sooner or later."

Since Brando Scarlet Yan followed Luo Zhengdao, he has always watched him eat and sleep and fight goblins, saying that this work is aesthetically tiring, even if Luo Zhengdao is very worried at this time, Commander Scarlet Yan didn't take it too seriously, he said with a smile:

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has confidence in you."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who raised his eyebrows, squinted at this wanderer, sighed helplessly, and said:

"Well, I wish I could be so confident in myself!"

Regarding the follow-up action of the Goblin Grand Fleet, Luo Zhengdao guessed wrong, and wandered around the Chuanshan Islands for half a day, and the entire Grand Fleet returned to the main continent without hesitation.

The development of events can almost be said to be unexpected, after returning to the home port, Modo Blackwater was attacked and abused by the overwhelming public opinion, such as coward, coward, and other contemptuous names became its pronouns for a while, standing casually on the street and opening his mouth, passing goblins knew who he was scolding. After explaining the reasons for the retreat to the emperor, the military department and the Senate and obtaining understanding, the commander of the goblin still had to hand over the post of admiral of the Grand Fleet and go home to avoid the limelight under the pressure of public opinion from the outside world.

The Grand Fleet, which was still deploying a landing force and preparing to launch a counterattack on the Funayama Islands, was transferred to a senior field marshal as a temporary deputy. The supreme commander of the Grand Fleet, who succeeded him, had achieved five fish on the water, and yes, compared to the brilliant land combat achievements on his service resume, His Excellency Marshal Todd Green Lake had only fished twice on the beach in his life.

Seeing that the war was about to start, the battle was changed and a marshal who did not understand naval warfare was replaced to lead the army, and the Second Goblin Empire, which was in a lawsuit, was also forced to helpless! The lower goblins were furious, and strongly demanded the expulsion of the pirates and the reconquest of the lost territory, and it was better to bring Wil'Needham's head back to the exhibition, whether it was the Senate or the military department, none of them could withstand the whipping of public opinion from the outside world. Even if the discerning people know that this kind of practice violates military principles, it is purely a 213 routine of self-inflicted death, but the shape is stronger than people, and the arrow has to be sent, since the second goblin empire has come to this point, it can't go back anymore, knowing that the front is likely to be a big pit, so it has to rush up

Marshal Todd Greenlake is a standard naval combat layman, and the goblin staff officers who accompany him are elite backbones who have followed Modo Blackwater for many years, most of these staff officers have personally experienced many large-scale naval battles, and they may not be proficient in naval warfare, or they may not be able to grasp the rhythm of naval warfare, but they at least have a clear enough understanding of what naval warfare is like. Under the strong persuasion of the staff officers of the headquarters, the goblin fleet approaching the vicinity of the Chuanshan Islands remained in a state of wandering and seeking opportunities, and if the spectacular artificial wonders created by Luo Zhengdao with the power of the magic card master did not disappear, even if Todd Green Lake was willing to try to attack, these goblin staff officers would use their power to jointly resist its orders.

Fortunately, before this battle, the goblin high-level went to the temple of Bane, the god of war and conquest, to ask for help, and received an oracle saying that the stone wall on which humans relied could not last, so the goblin fleet chose to take the risk of attacking, and there was no chance of winning at all, no matter how belligerent the goblins were, they would not take the initiative to rush over, and no one liked to be a loser.

In fact, the goblins didn't need to get close to reconnoitre, and the vertical height was more than 100 meters, and the rocky walls that stretched for dozens of miles could be seen in the middle of the night. As dawn approached, the goblin lookout on night gave a signal, and Todd Green Lake ran out of the cabin with his coat on, and just as he saw the stone wall slowly descending, he shouted with great joy:

“…… Gone? Those rock walls and fortresses are literally gone! Blessed by my lord Ben, may your darkness cover the earth, and we will bestow death and conquest on ignorant and foolish humans. Prepare to attack now! ”

The goblins in the far open sea can know what is going on, and as long as the human pirates staying in the Funayama Islands are not dead, such a big move will not turn a deaf ear, right? Immediately, the mournful siren echoed in the morning mist, countless lights were lit in the darkness, and a fierce collision between the offensive and defensive sides was about to occur.

"Buzz Buzz ......"

The roar of the pirate fighter group sounded in the sky above, and the goblin fleet roared and mobilized firepower to prepare to resist the air attack.

"A squadron of torpedo machines, ready to drop bombs. Three, two, one, launch! ”

The captain of the brigade wearing a leather hat and goggles issued a command in the spar communicator, and a group of pirate fighters flying close to the sea to covertly meet the enemy pulled the lever in response, and immediately, the cylindrical torpedo on the pylon fell into the water, and after the automatic ignition of the delay fuse was successful, the tail nozzle burst into flames, and the torpedo rushed forward quickly.

"Poof! Poof! Puff ......"

With a series of dense sound into the water, this aviation torpedo with a lightweight design showed its hideous face for the first time, its full weight was only 180 pounds, and the hollow charge warhead gave the torpedo a powerful destructive ability, even the double-bottom structure of the goblin ironclad could not withstand the continuous bombardment of multiple torpedoes. Distracted by the roar of rocket engines from high altitudes, the Goblin Fleet weakened its monitoring of the sea surface, and the two goblin ironclad ships that bore the brunt of the tragedy at this time were tragic, according to the density of torpedoes on the sea surface, they could not avoid the fatal blow if they maneuvered with their lives, and as expected, they swallowed three or four torpedoes in a row, and billowing black smoke and red flames rose from the hull of the goblin ironclad ships, followed by the explosion of ammunition.

This huge explosion even affected the light ships escorting the sea, and they were also ignited and destroyed, the scene of the serial explosion was unbearable to read, and the destructive power was even more powerful than imagined!

Seeing this, Todd Green Lake's eyes almost burst out, and he shouted almost uncontrollably:

"How is this possible? Aren't our ironclads armored three inches thick? ”

As soon as they heard this, the goblin staff officers present were all black lines, and they really felt that they couldn't play happily with this kind of layman leader, and no matter how thick the armor of your battleship was, it couldn't stop the torpedo bombardment! How much is the amount of explosive shell fired by the main gun of a 110-pound ironclad ship? The lightest torpedo also has several times the explosive power of the explosive bomb, plus the bonus effect of seawater, the ironclad ship may not be able to retreat from a torpedo in the waterline part, let alone swallow several bullets in a row, this can only be said to be a good death!

At this time, the most important thing was not to illuminate His Excellency the Marshal, and the goblin staff officers kindly reminded:

"Your Excellency, our dense anti-aircraft formations ......"

Todd Green Lake is a layman, but what will happen if the dense formation is hit by powerful long-range fire, it always knows, the goblin marshal shouted in panic, and said:

"Disperse the operation, order all the musketeers and rocket launchers to fire in the air, and stop those pirate fighters from approaching the fleet."
