The cool sea breeze blew on Li Tianhao's face, and there was an indescribable comfort. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, the wind on the narrow sea is still mixed with the heat of the desert, but this is already a precious breath of freedom for Li Tianhao. Ever since Li Tianhao set foot on the land of Yaki twelve years ago, he had hardly enjoyed the moisture of the sea breeze again. This feeling, which he has been familiar with since he was young, seems to be as intimate as a wanderer returning to his mother's arms, although Li Tianhao's feelings for his mother have long been forgotten.

The purpose of Li Tianhao's trip was to give Palch complete control of the Narrow Sea, so that he could attack all the coastal towns of Arubania within the Narrow Sea at will, and in Brooks' words, make Li Tianhao the only pirate king in the Narrow Sea.

In order to prevent the fleet in the Gulf of Paz in Arubania from rushing to support, Li Tianhao left the Third Fleet in Jinting to defend it, and he led the Second Fleet to directly kill the Narrow Sea Fleet of Arubania that had been cowering in the port of Guimado.

This time, Li Tianhao was followed by a full sixty warships, including eight giant warships built by the Silk Country. And the enemy Li Tianhao has to face is only an unfinished Arubania Narrow Sea Fleet, which can be said to be a battle between elephants and jackals.

After the defeat of the Arubanian fleet after the Battle of Kinting six years earlier, the remnants of the fleet fled into the port of Guimado. The port of Guimado was very strong, and it was not easy to storm it, and at that time, Elda was also narrowly defeated, and the losses of the fleet were also very heavy, so it was unable to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and when the reinforcement fleet rushed back, the port of Guimado was ready to defend, and it became more and more difficult to attack. Coupled with the fact that the main enemy at that time was Yaki, Elda did not take more active measures in addition to restricting its movements.

Due to the lack of high-quality timber in the vicinity of Guimado and the financial difficulties of Arubania, the Arubanian fleet, which has not been able to leave the port for six years, has not been able to return to its original size, and its combat strength is not even half of what it used to be, and their only reliance is on the walls of the port of Guimado.

Li Tianhao was not worried about Guimado's defense, because even if the attack was unfavorable, it only took a strong enough westerly wind to use the weight and speed of the eight giant ships to hit the opponent's city wall, although doing so would inevitably cause damage to the giant ships, but Li Tianhao didn't care about these losses - his technical director, Viscount Pokel, had already cracked the secret of the manufacture of this silk foreign steamer, and now this giant ship was no longer an irreproducible treasure for Palci.

Compared with this battle without suspense, Li Tianhao was more concerned about the personnel formation of this fleet, because Queen Alfrit of Palchi insisted on going to sea with him. It is an exaggeration that Her Majesty, as the queen of a country, would leave her own land and step on a dangerous sea, but Alfrett's attitude of going to sea with her husband was very resolute, and in the end Li Tianhao could only give in. However, this is not the worst, what is even worse is that their seven-year-old daughter, Princess Patura, also insists on going to sea with her parents. Her Royal Highness's willfulness was opposed by almost all the courtiers who learned of the matter, but everyone collapsed under the offensive of Her Royal Highness's tears, and finally let her fulfill her wish.

Therefore, this expedition to the sea became a parade for members of the royal family of Palci. In order to ensure the absolute safety of the two remaining members of the Palchi royal family, Li Tianhao was exhausted. The flagship he chose was the giant ship of the Silk Country, which had performed miraculous achievements in the Battle of Jinting and was renamed the Tenryu after renovation, because everyone agreed that the Tenryu was a ship that could bring luck and victory; In addition, the ship's sailors and armed escorts were all carefully selected, and all of them were outstanding figures in Palchi. Even so, Li Tianhao inevitably had relatives and walked on thin ice, but fortunately, the queen and the princess did not suffer from seasickness, which Li Tianhao sincerely thanked God for his favor.

"Daddy, look! Sun! Sun! The sun is out! Patura suddenly rushed to Li Tianhao's command seat and shouted loudly.

"Patura, this is the conductor's seat, you can't just run around." Li Tianhao tried to deter his daughter.

"I don't believe it, in the future, I may have to sit in the command seat and command the fleet, Dad, you will teach me how to command now!" Patula said this, but opened his hands and motioned for Li Tianhao to pick her up.

Seeing his daughter jumping on tiptoe, the highest military commander in Palchi could only give in, he picked up his daughter, let her sit on the crook of his arm, scraped her little nose with his other hand and said: "How can there be any reason for the queen to do it herself?" You just need to know how to appoint the right generals to fight. ”

"Then Dad, why do you want to command it yourself? Isn't there a suitable military commander in our country to appoint? ”

Li Tianhao was a little difficult to answer by such a question, so he had to divert the topic: "Let's take a look at the newly rising sun, is it different from that on land?" ”

Patura tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said, "It's different, the sun is floating." ”

"Hahahaha, that's a boat floating." Li Tianhao touched Patura's head and smiled.

Patura was unconvinced, "I am the incarnation of Horus, and if I shake on the ship, of course the sun must shake with it." ”

"You're a fool of a mess, Patura." Li Tianhao couldn't help but laugh and scolded.

"Yo, what a picture of father-daughter love." A voice came from below.

Li Tianhao didn't need to look to know that this was another big trouble for this trip, Count Senas.

Originally, this naval battle had nothing to do with Senas, who was good at land warfare, but as one of the most troublesome characters in the Palchi army, Senas was the type that had a lively and absolutely wanted to make up, plus Li Tianhao brought Her Majesty and the princess on the ship without principle, so there was really no position and reason to refuse Senas's request. In fact, not only Senas, but also another of the troublesome characters in the Palcian army, Alam, also followed, accompanied by Senas's precious apprentice Eglius.

With these few people, it can be determined that there will be no boredom along the way, but Li Tianhao is more worried that they will make the atmosphere on the ship as stress-free as going out for an outing, so that this naval battle will definitely become a joke in the history of the Battle of Palci.

Seeing that Li Tianhao didn't take a stubble, Senas climbed straight onto the command seat, and said loudly: "The port of Guimado is still far away, why are you so excited now?" ”

Li Tianhao couldn't help but glance at him: "Then why are you so excited and get up so early?" ”

Senas smiled, "I remembered something. Remember that old witch Nisinis? She mentioned to me at the beginning, and she said that Guimado was a turning point. At the time, I was confused, but now I suddenly realized that I was talking about the expedition to the port of Guimado. ”

Li Tianhao's eyes became very strange, he really didn't know what to say about this Nisinis. Li Tianhao didn't believe the nonsense of these warlocks, but this Nisinis did help his daughter find the Scepter of Horus, which established Patura's status in the hearts of the people of Aki, and Nisinis did not act like a deceitful warlock in the process of searching for the scepter. As a result, this witch enjoys a high reputation among the high-ranking figures in Palci, but Li Tianhao has always been wary of this old witch. (To be continued.) )
