Yuan Fang agreed: "What Sang Rou said makes sense, if it were me, I would also choose to gamble, if I win, not only can I keep the empire, but also may get more benefits, if I lose the bet, for them, it seems that there is not much difference between being destroyed by us and being swallowed by the Wanliu Empire." ”

Xia Yi reminded: "Brother-in-law, are we off topic?" Ren Fei and Luo Siping haven't been found yet, and Sister Jingqiu and they are still in danger. ”

Yuan Fang shook his head and said, "No digression, Xia Yi, if we can smooth out the ins and outs of the whole thing and figure out their goals and intentions and weaknesses, then there is more hope of saving Ren Fei and them." ”

After some discussion, Yuan Fang and several people brainstormed and expressed their opinions, and finally found the most reasonable and possible, they didn't know, their guess was very close to the truth of the facts.

The storm gradually subsided, Yuan Fang looked out the window, the dark clouds seemed to be less dark, and Xueqin reported: "Brother-in-law, the storm has turned. ”

As soon as Xueqin's words fell, the observer said in surprise: "The fleet, it's our fleet, and the air force." ”

Yuan Fang stood up and walked to the wheelhouse position in the front section of the airship, looked at the sea in front of him, and ordered: "Lower the altitude and contact the fleet." ”

Tian Erniu was anxious at this time, before, she was on the airship with slightly damaged airbags, as Yuan Fang's captain of the guard, she would not leave Yuan Fang in danger and escape alone, but Yuan Fang gave a death order, Tian Erniu had no choice but to leave with another airship and go to find the fleet to rescue.

Tian Erniu returned as fast as possible, looking along the way, and finally, found the fleet soon after, when the commander of the fleet learned that the storm was found in front of him, he was not too nervous, this kind of thing was not the first time they had encountered it, they could deal with it before, and now it is even more problematic with a better warship, as long as he finds a similar island nearby, but when he learned that Yuan Fang's airship was seriously damaged and trapped in the storm, he was shocked, and immediately ordered to move forward at full speed, Go to the rescue at all costs. The warship could withstand the storm, and the dinghy could barely do it, but the airship couldn't, so all the airships landed on the deck of the ship, and everyone sailed in the direction of the storm.

When the commander of the fleet saw the huge whirlpool formed by the storm from afar, his face changed and changed, and it was the first time he had encountered such a powerful storm, or rather, it could no longer be described as a storm, it should be called a hurricane. The commander was tempted to find a place to shelter from the hurricane, but there was no suitable haven near where they were, so they had to rush forward.

The wind and rain were increasing, the huge battleship was undulating and swaying in the sea, the sea was constantly lapping the hull, the sailors had to tie themselves to the mast or other places with ropes so that they would not be blown into the sea by strong winds and sea wolves, the masts of two battleships were blown off, one battleship toppled over, and the fleet faced this test of life and death, if it continued like this, the whole fleet would be swallowed up by the hurricane.

Heaven has an eye, and it was at the most critical moment that the power of the hurricane weakened and at the same time deviated from the direction, and the fleet was able to survive.

At this time, the fleet was not completely out of the scope of the hurricane, but it was already within the range of bearing, and the commander left a part of the battleships to rescue the surviving sailors at the wreck site, and took the remaining intact battleships to look for Yuan Fang's traces in the direction guided by Tian Erniu. The speed and visibility of the ships are limited, and after they are out of the range of the hurricane, all the airships that can still rise into the air take off, and the dinghy scatters to expand the search range, but after seeing the power of the hurricane, there is not much hope in everyone's hearts.

Tian Erniu stood at the front of the cockpit of the airship, the telescope in her hand constantly adjusting the direction, looking at the sky, looking at the sea, looking for Yuan Fang's figure.

Suddenly, a faint light flashed from above, Tian Erniu didn't care at first, thinking that it was caused by the sunlight penetrating the clouds, when immediately after, the light lit up rhythmically again, Tian Erniu raised her head in surprise and looked at the sky, two lines of tears came out of her eyes; "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, they are still alive, still alive."

Wiping away the tears that affected her vision, Tian Erniu ordered loudly with a little joy and excitement: "Raise the altitude, pay attention to the course, and welcome the safe return of my brother-in-law." Inform the warship below, vacate the deck, release the lifeboat, brother-in-law their airship is badly damaged and may not be able to land safely. Herald, Discovery responds. Yuan Fang's airship was safe and sound, everyone cheered, and then all the staff went out, ready to deal with all the accidents.

Converging with Tian Erniu, a slight smile finally appeared on Yuan Fang's face, surrounded by a group of airships, Yuan Fang's airship gradually lowered in height, Xueqin once again showed extraordinary talent, and issued one command after another in an orderly manner, and the airship landed smoothly on the flagship deck.

When Yuan Fang stepped off the airship, there was suddenly a joy for the rest of his life, Sang Rou pulled Yuan Fang's sleeve and pointed to the back, Yuan Fang found that the outer wall on the right side of the airship was scorched black, looking extremely embarrassed, looking crumbling, this should be caused by the thunder and lightning that was free when passing through the clouds, thinking of the thunder and lightning that almost killed him, Yuan Fang still has palpitations now. Now is not the time to sigh, Yuan Fang sorted out his mood, and immediately issued an order, sent two small boats back to Changhuan Island to inform Situ Muran to block the sea area, closely monitor the direction of the Liusang Empire, and after notifying the Emerald Island, all airships and small boats entered a combat state, and the small boats were equipped with air combat crossbows to defend the sea area in the direction of the Liusang Empire, and at the same time, set up a death squad to go to the Liusang Empire to join Yu Jingqiu, and let the academy send more small boats to support their side.

In addition, Yuan Fang also asked people to send back to the imperial capital as soon as possible the matter of discovering that the Wanliu Empire already had airships and destroying their own boats, and also wrote a secret letter to Yang Xing, asking him to stop the attack on the Yuanhe Empire for the time being, and ordered each to strengthen air reconnaissance and air defense, especially the imperial capital, and to send all the small boats in stock to various air force units to prepare for war in an all-round way.

Several dinghys left with Yuan Fang's order, Yuan Fang looked at the still undulating sea, and his expression became cold: "Say that there is an airship taking off, the airship goose-shaped formation, the battle boat diamond-shaped formation, keep a safe distance from the fleet, the target is east-southeast, and set off." Tian Erniu knew that Yuan Fang was planning to go to the island of that island, but it had been so long, and the other party was afraid that he had already run away.

There were still thirteen ships left in the fleet that could still sail normally, and one of the remaining seven was silent, two were seriously damaged, and the others were more or less damaged, and the commander of the fleet ordered them to return after obtaining Yuan Fang's consent, and Yuan Fang also sent two small boats and two airships to escort them.
