The landing fleet and escort fleet of the Roman city passed smoothly through the section of the river before the Cangluo River entered the sea, and when passing through the section of the river that separated the east and west of the river of the Vitus tribe, Bai Feng also saw the Roman city fleet blockading this section of the river with his own eyes.

The Roman City Fleet, with four warships as a patrol fleet, completely cut off the connection between the east and west regions of the Werther tribes, and the ruling class of the Werther tribes, far from the riverbank area, had not yet received any information about this.

By the time they got this important news, I am afraid that the two armies of Rome had already launched an attack on the Vitus tribe, and Bai Feng, who admired the speed of soldiers, was also very strict with Bazel and Eggers.

According to the information provided by the battlefield ghosts, it will take about half a month for the Roman city's fleet to block the Cangluo River to reach the hinterland of the Vitus tribe;

The blockade of the river by the Roman fleet was on the fifth day of the landing fleet, which meant that the ruling class of the Werther tribe had already launched an attack on the Werther tribe by the time the ruling class of the Vitus tribe learned of the news as soon as the Roman army had already launched an attack.

Of course, whether the news of the return to the hinterland of the Werther tribe along the Cangluo River will arrive is another matter entirely, knowing that the battlefield ghosts of the city of Rome are not spies who can only spy on intelligence, and their combat effectiveness is also good.

Intercepting and killing the messengers sent back to the Werther tribe is the consciousness that the ghosts of the battlefield should have, and there is no need for Bai Feng to give any orders, and the powerful war machine of the city of Rome has been operating without reservation, and the war against the Werther tribe has already begun.

The magnificent Cangluo River is still far from the vast sea, and the seas of this world are even more magnificent than Bai Feng imagined, and even wider and more shocking than the Mediterranean Sea of the Roman world.

The endless sea level made Bai Feng, who was standing on the deck of the battleship, feel small, and the sea breeze with a faint fishy smell swept the waves on the battleship, making the battleship that had been sailing smoothly become shaky.

The battleships of the city of Rome had proved their adaptability to the sea with their experimental voyages two months ago, and although the rickety battleships made Bai Feng feel unstable, he was still assured of the quality of the battleships of the city of Rome.

This sentence is still very effective for Bai Feng, who has seen the quality of the system. At the very least, it can make him not have to worry about the battleship being sunk by the wind and waves, which is enough to reassure Bai Feng.

As it turned out, the wind and sunshine that afternoon were only the calm side of the sea, and when night fell, an earth-shattering storm of the sea suddenly struck the landing fleet in the city of Rome!

The howling wind swept up the waves of the sea more than 100 meters high, and the dazzling lightning brought deafening thunderstorms, and the ships laden with food, fresh water, and warriors became a flat boat that drifted with the waves in the vast sea.

The sudden storm quickly disoriented the fleet in the night, and in fact, the fleet could not sail normally in such a violent storm, and the only thing the crew could do was to make sure that the ship was not sunk by the wind and waves as much as possible.

From trying to maintain the course at first, to abandoning all food and fresh water while going with the flow, survival has become the only goal for everyone, and every ship is repeating the same action, which is to reduce the weight of its own ship by discarding supplies.

The triremit of Bai Feng's battleship was the least loaded of all the ships, and even so, the captain gave the order to abandon all the heavy objects on the ship, including the most important food and fresh water.

When sailing in the sea, nothing is more important than food and fresh water, and without vital food and fresh water, even if the fleet can survive the storm at sea, it will not survive on the isolated sea.

Thankfully, Bai Feng, who had always liked to plan ahead, once again saved everyone with his prudence, and the reason why he gave the order to save his life at all costs was because there was still a large amount of food and fresh water in his White Spirit Ring.

Even if the fleet loses all the food and fresh water, Bai Feng, who has the White Spirit Ring, can still supply everyone with the food and fresh water in the ring, which is enough food and fresh water for 30,000 people for a month, enough for the fleet to find its way again.

The first half of the night was raging at sea, but the second half of the night turned into a bright starry sky with sparse moons and stars; the climate on the sea is really unpredictable, no wonder people in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, including this other world, are full of awe of the sea.

None of the transport ships and merchant ships of the landing fleet sank, and the warships of the escort fleet were intact; this result made Bai Feng, who was quite uneasy in his heart, secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

There is no way for a fleet that has lost its direction and sailed to reorient itself at night, so the fleet maintains its current direction and continues to sail into the unknown distance.

Early the next morning, when the sky and sea were only cloudy, and the sun had not risen, Bai Feng, who was sleeping groggyly, was woken up by the noisy movement on the battleship, and soon, Bai Feng, who was neatly dressed, took Yue'er and Binglan to the deck of the battleship.

Looking at the land in front of him in disbelief, the shock in Bai Feng's heart was incomparable, the land in front of him was definitely not the coast of the Werther tribe! Judging from its general outline alone, Bai Feng knew that this land was definitely an island, not a continent!

What's even more incredible is that not far from this land, there are two fleets fighting in full swing, which is beyond everyone's cognition, after all, people on the continent don't know that there are other civilizations in the ocean.

Whether it is the barbarians on the barbarian land or the Celestial Dragon Empire in the civilized world, everyone thinks that the continent they are on is the only land in this world, and they can never imagine that there are other civilizations in the endless ocean!

After the brief shock passed, Bai Feng, who came back to his senses, immediately gave the order for the fleet to dock, and in Bai Feng's eyes, discovering a new civilization and making contact with this civilization was much more important than attacking the Werther tribe.

The swaying Roman city landed a fleet and quickly approached the shores of the island, while the battleships of the three armies were the first to surround and capture the two fleets that were fighting.

The ships used by the two island fleets were small warships similar to those of Japan's Warring States period, which were only suitable for fighting in the near sea area, did not have the function of ocean voyages, and were far inferior in combat performance to the three warships of Rome.

The capture of the convoy did not go well, as several of the ships in the two flotillas attacked the convoy's triremes, and it was not until the longbowmen on the trirex began firing a salvo that they surrendered with heavy casualties.
