There should be a goal for life, a goal for a lifetime, a goal for a period of time, a goal for a stage, a goal for a year, a goal for a month, a goal for a week, a goal for a day, a goal for an hour, and a goal for a minute.

- Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy (one of the most outstanding writers in the history of world literature)

Extremely efficient has always been a typical label of the Roman army, whether it is the First Fleet of Nams, or Wendell's Governor's Guard, it is naturally impossible to perform too badly in this regard; Wendell, who gave orders overnight, transferred fifty elite warriors and thirty elite longbowmen, as well as twenty elite crossbowmen, to form the elite squadron that Nams needed.

In order to ensure that the combat effectiveness of this elite squadron can be maximized, Wendell also specially selected a captain he admires the most to serve as the squadron leader of this elite squadron, and the battlefield warrior Obino, who is one of the best captains of the Governor's Guard!

Led by the battlefield warrior Obwano himself, the combat squadron composed of fifty elite warriors, thirty elite longbowmen, and twenty elite crossbowmen, there is no need to use words to describe how strong its combat effectiveness is.

Before handing over this elite squadron to Brent, Wendell said to Brent with a little pride: "Commander Brent, this hundred-man squadron of our Governor's Guard is definitely stronger than a thousand pirate sailors, I hope you can use good steel on the blade!"

"Lord Wendell, please rest assured that we will not disappoint you and the Commander's expectations!" Brent, who was far from Wendell's status, spoke in a very low manner, without the slightest giggle in front of Nams.

This was the rule in Rome, and Brent, as the commander of a detachment under the First Fleet, did not need to pay much attention to etiquette in front of his direct commander, but he needed to pay attention to etiquette in front of other generals with the same status as his direct commander.

The moonlit night did not affect Brent's actions in the slightest, and he used the lifeboat on the Empire to transport a hundred elite soldiers led by Obwano to his flagship, which fortunately did not have any prisoners on his flagship, otherwise he would not have been able to accommodate the hundred elite soldiers.

Even so, the triremitt, which already had one hundred and fifty longbowmen, was filled with the arrival of these hundred elite warriors, and Brent had to make some preparations tonight because the pirate captives would be released early tomorrow morning.

The so-called preparation was that Brent intended to have the archers of the various ships guarding the captives to conduct an 'ideological education' on the prisoners who were about to be released at night, and to use this 'ideological education' to leave a relatively deep impression on the sailors of the Yumao Navy.

In the middle of the night, the intermittent screams of the four twin battleships sent a creep through the bones of Yuki Honma, who stood side by side with Brent on the flagship deck, and he couldn't even imagine what kind of torture his sailors were suffering.

After a sleepless night, the four hundred and thirty-five Hamo naval captives on the four twin battleships all looked blank and sluggish, but to Honma's surprise, there were no scars on the faces or bodies of these sailors!

With the smirks on the faces of the sailors and longbowmen of the twin battleships, Honma was too embarrassed to ask his sailors what had happened to them last night, and the only thing he could do now was talk nonsense that no one would listen to.

What was supposed to be a warm release meeting ended in an extremely embarrassing way after the dead air of the Hamo sailors, and Yuki Honma, who had not been on the four twin battleships for half an hour, hurried back to Brent's flagship.

Brent, who had achieved the expected goal, smiled secretly in his heart, but comforted Honma Yonghui, so that he didn't have to care too much about these sailors who had no fighting spirit, as long as he was loyal to the Yanhuang family and made great contributions to the Yanhuang family, he would definitely be able to command a more elite Yanhuang family army in the future.

In all fairness, from the most powerful competitor of the Honma family to the dispensable pawn of the Yanhuang family, how could Honma Yuki not have hatred in his heart?

It's just that the Yanhuang family's fleet is so powerful that it suffocates him, so he really doesn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction and hatred, and even the hundred guards provided to him by Brent's 'kindness', he accepts it with a smile without any intention of refusing.

Of course, Honma Yuki was not the only one who suffered from what happened on this day, as the Aymar fleet, which was responsible for blockading the waters off Wakita-gun, and the Babst fleet, which was responsible for blockading the seas off Kamo-gun, dealt a heavy blow to the inadequate Wakita and Kamo naval forces in one fell swoop.

The Zhitai Navy and the Kamo Navy Army, which were jointly formed by a large number of small forces, were originally a loose alliance of foreign powers and middle cadres, and the number of fleets that patrolled the inland and open seas every day to act as pirates was not a small number; the ridiculous thing is that these pirate forces in the name of the fleet generally have only three or five Xiaozao and one customs ship as the flagship of a fleet, and occasionally some fleets do not even have customs ships, but only a few Xiaozao.

In the face of an enemy of this size, Aimar's Fourth Squadron easily annihilated all the Childetta Navy patrol fleets in the outer and inner seas of Childa, and with good luck, Aimar even captured three ships and eight small ships.

As for the Fifth Detachment, which blockaded the outer and inland seas of Kamo, Babst, who had no mercy, did not capture a single Kamo naval warship, but more than half of the Kamo naval ships were sunk by the murderous Fifth Detachment.

It is no exaggeration to say that in just one day, the second naval army of Sado Island, the Childa Navy, which is second only to the Hamo Navy in terms of overall strength, was sunk by one-third of the warships, and completely lost control of the Childa Outer Sea and the Childa Inland Sea, and became the existing navy of the turtle port.

The Kamo navy, which had suffered even more heavy losses, and all the pirate leaders who dared to challenge the Fifth Fleet, had sunk to the bottom with their ships, and the cold-blooded and ruthless Babst did not even salvage the prisoners, but allowed the pirates to sink after struggling in the sea.

After this battle, the total number of warships on Sado Island dropped by at least a quarter, and the remaining three-quarters were distributed among the various forces of Hashimo, Kamo, and Wakita, which had become a naval force that was not enough to prevent the Roman fleet from escorting the Doge's Guard to land on Sado Island.

The reason why Naams had not yet ordered his fleet to escort the Doge's Guard for a landing operation was because he wanted to take the most complete Sado Island with the least casualties possible, after all, the future Sado Island would insist on becoming an overseas naval base for the city of Rome.

No one does not cherish their own wealth, and Nams is no exception, and now that Sado Island has been regarded by him as the chassis of his First Fleet, it is natural for him to first recover the Ito Navy and part of the Hamo Navy before launching a formal attack on Sado Island.
