Dicar's hesitation to send reinforcements reflects the desire of the entire Arubania to be drawn into the war, otherwise he would not have found himself in a dilemma.

Unlike his hesitation, Adlem, the general who also got the news, was really distressed. Such an accurate hit in his own prediction did not make Adlem happy at all, because the measures he took obtained the worst consequences. If their orders had been carried out completely, the Palci army would have had no chance of landing at all, and would have been blocked in the Sea of Dichel; If his orders are not carried out in time, then the fortress of Badr will soon fall, then Gilmus will be finished, and Dikal will be too late to help, so it will only be a matter of closing. But it happened that the fleet was not in position, and the infantry was already in position. Parci's army landed easily, but it was not so easy to capture the city, and he even put in the five hundred soldiers he had sent.

The current situation is the last thing Adlerm wants to see - to let Palci do whatever he wants, it will obviously put the lives of 500 Arubanian soldiers at risk, and it will also make the Arubanian soldiers disgraced, but if reinforcements are to be sent, it will be an open war with Palchi, which is obviously a situation that Adrim does not want to see. What worries Adelim even more is that the order he gave to the fleet is to prevent Palch from approaching the coast, and now when the fleet arrives on the shores of Barud, it will encounter the Palchi fleet directly, and if the two sides go to war, then all his previous efforts will be in vain.

The more Adlem thought about it, the more he felt that there was only one possibility, because the commander of this fleet, Vajele, was a strict man, his lack of creativity was his weakness, and faithful execution of orders was his strength, but the biggest possibility in the face of this situation was that Vajelet had taken the initiative to drive out the Palchi fleet.

It seems that a clash with Palci is inevitable, so Adlem is no longer thinking about avoiding conflict, and his brain, which belongs to the military commander's part, is finally working. Since there is going to be a war with Palci, then the battle should be ended as quickly as possible. According to the intelligence, Li Tianhao himself should also be among the raiding troops, so if Li Tianhao can be captured or killed in one fell swoop in this battle, he will be able to eliminate the supreme military commander of Palchi in one fell swoop, thus eliminating the possibility of Palchi continuing to wage war with Arubania.

Adlem immediately issued his first sortie order since becoming a general. He ordered the two generals of Derret and Cheka to rush to the fortress of Baroud with 10,000 cavalry each. These were the two closest troops to Badru's fort that Adlerm could think of, and the general who commanded both armies was also the only remaining general in the Arubanian army with actual combat command experience. In his command, Adrim ordered the two generals to flank the north and south from the north and south, with the primary goal of cutting off the retreat of the Palchi army rather than fighting a decisive battle with them.

In addition to these two cavalry armies, Adlem also mobilized an additional 50,000 troops to move towards Baroud from all sides. At that time, many people ridiculed Adelim for dispatching an army of 70,000 to deal with more than 2,000 people, which was simply a trivial matter, and some even suspected that he was taking the opportunity to restore his military power. But after this incident, this rumor died down, because the outcome of the event was not even expected by Adlim himself, let alone other imaginations.

As Aderim had predicted, Vajereh had followed his orders closely, and when the outpost ships spotted the Palci fleet, his only reaction was to order an attack in formation.

It took Elda, the commander of the Palci fleet, to see the target of the Arubanian fleet in just a second, but he was faced with an enemy of sixty Arubanian warships, and all the forces at his disposal were forty-one merchant ships and two warships, and there was a serious shortage of combatants.

From the very beginning, Elda had no desire to touch the stone with an egg, and he chose the most correct strategy - to escape. If there is a head-to-head confrontation, his ship will be wiped out in less than an hour, and then Li Tianhao's troops will have no way to retreat, so Elda decided to retreat. However, due to the uneven speed of his fleet, the formation soon began to disperse, and when Vajele saw this formation, he judged that the other party was deliberately luring him into pursuit, and decided to wait and see the situation for a while before making a decision, but he ignored the desire of the soldiers in the forward position to fight. Seeing that some of the other party's ships were slower than their own, the sailors chose to pursue at full speed almost without thinking. As both sides were moving from the east, Vajereti's forward force quickly distanced themselves from their own team.

Seeing that his formation was being destroyed by this group of belligerent soldiers, Vajereh cursed loudly to behead all the bastards, but his general's instinct did not allow such a mistake in his formation, so he had to command his troops to follow up. His original intention was only to regain control of these carried away vanguard forces, but it turned out to lead to a naval battle.

Just as Vajele's array was gradually returning to order, the two slowest ships in the Palchi fleet had been brought within range of the Arubanian Striker. As the first wave of rockets fired, a batch of arrows was fired back from the Palci ships. However, the victory or defeat of this battle can be judged by the number of arrows on both sides alone, and Arubania has more than five times the firepower advantage in the number of bows and arrows when compared alone.

By the time the Arubanian fleet fired the fifth wave of arrows, the sail of one of the merchant ships was ablaze. Immediately afterwards another ship repeated this fate. Despite the fact that both ships were shot in the sails, the fates were very different. Although the sails of the first ship caught fire, it was a hybrid boat, and it could be propelled by oars without sails, even if it was much slower, so that it would not lose power completely like the second ship. The sails of the unfortunate second ship were quickly charred, and the rest of the friendly forces could only be watched alone.

The Arubanian fleet naturally leaned in - since the other side had five ways to escape, the capture of the enemy ship was a credit after all.

After a short period of resistance, most of the Palci sailors chose to surrender. However, there was one man among the surrendered crowd who caught the interest of the Arubanian soldiers, as he claimed to be not a Palchi, but a merchant. (To be continued.) )
