Elda noticed that something was wrong on the third day of sending Nisinis away, and although he had been suspicious before, the information sent on this day allowed him to confirm one thing - the location of the Golden Court stronghold had been revealed!

Elda had doubts about the movements of the Yaki fleet before, and since they had successfully eliminated their own detachment, they could either return triumphantly or continue to advance, and from these two options, it was also clear whether the Jinting stronghold was exposed. However, the Yaki fleet is unusually turning around the sea, and if the location of the stronghold has been exposed, then why are they only hovering at sea? If it is not exposed, then what is the purpose of their behavior?

At first, Elda's judgment was that they might take advantage of the victory to attack Port Portsmo, and he sent a special letter to Governor Arina, hoping that she would prepare for defense. However, the Yaki fleet turned around at sea for half a month, and finally bypassed the port of Portsmo directly! From this moment on, Elda understood that the other party may have known the location of the Jinting stronghold a long time ago, and the purpose of them doing this was to make themselves paralyzed and confused, so their last step would definitely be to surprise the Jinting stronghold with the fastest speed to catch themselves off guard!

Thinking of this, Elda immediately gathered all the armed forces in her hands and left the Jinting stronghold - instead of being blocked in the stronghold by the Yaki fleet, it was better to take the initiative to attack! With the four ships he had at hand, Elda was confident of winning the battle even if he was outnumbered in numbers.

After a long time of hustle and bustle on the charts, Elda decided on the approximate location of the battle, and then it was time to seize the upper hand and expand the position. Elda wasn't too worried about this, his long years at sea had made his instincts far more sensitive than the secluded Yaki Navy. It is not difficult to occupy an advantageous position in naval warfare. It's just that Elda has a question in her mind that has never been solved, that is, why didn't the Yaki Army directly raid the Jinting stronghold after the victory. But what more is it to do this?

As Elda had expected, at the time and place he had set for the battle. Sure enough, the shadow of the Yaki fleet appeared. In terms of numbers, all the power of the eastern part of Yaki is bar has been used, and the dense shadows of the ship look magnificent.

Elda was about to give an order to the entire fleet to gain the upper hand, when suddenly a sailor named Galdos came running in a panic and stammered, "Captain, there is an urgent matter that must be reported to you!" ”

Galdos was a lookout on the flagship, and his eyesight was unusual, and Elda hurriedly said, "What did you find?" ”

"Yes, it's a Cretan archer! Captain! ”

"What do you mean?"

"Crete is a small island in the south of the Frankish country. There were good bows and hunters, so the men there had a profession as mercenaries. Their archers are known to Frank, these archers have a long range, a fast rate of fire, and are very powerful! ”

Elda's heart tightened, Galdos's father was a Frank, he was afraid that he would not be wrong, and hurriedly asked, "How far is their range?" How many archers do you see? ”

"Approximately. It's about as close as the range of a crossbow archer, and I've seen it clearly just now about seven hundred, eight hundred, and maybe more. ”

Elda's head buzzed. He suddenly remembered what Nisinis had said, "The red lotus flames flying in the sky are the most dangerous key. "If the opposing side has more than a thousand archers, then it is self-evident what kind of damage their rockets will inflict on their own fleet. What's worse is that in order to support Li Tianhao's battle, most of the crossbow machines were sent away. At present, the number of crossbow machines in the fleet is too small to compete with the other side. In that case, even if you have the upper hand, you will still be attacked by the enemy first!

"Immediately give an order to the whole army! Prepare for the fire attack of the other side! Be quick! ”

"Yes!" Galdos immediately turned away.

At this moment the sailors on the watchtower shouted: "Captain! Look at our back! ”

When Elda heard this, she immediately ran to the stern of the boat to watch. At this glance, it was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head - behind him appeared an Arubanian fleet, and they were sailing in the direction of the Golden Court stronghold!

In an instant, Elda understood that the strange behavior of the Yaki Army could all be explained. Yaki has reached a secret agreement with Arubania to join forces to wipe out his own fleet! The reason why the Yaki army has been holding back is not to raid itself, but to wait for the Arubanian fleet to circle its back from Pas Bay!

What a vicious ploy, Arubania did not use the fleet of the Narrow Sea and let the Pas Bay fleet come all the way around it, it seems that it was to avoid its own eyes and ears! Another of Nisinis's warnings is also unfortunately hit, "Don't focus only on the sun's rays and ignore the moon", which turns out to say that Arubania will sneak up on herself from behind!

"Captain! What are we going to do? ”

Elda heard the question of his subordinates, but at the moment his mind was also in chaos, with an incomplete force to face the two fleets of two countries, was it possible?

Elda forced himself to calm down, and he began to analyze the current situation. It is obvious that they are in an absolutely disadvantageous position when they are attacked from the front and rear, and the fleets of the two countries are bound to complete the situation of joint attack as soon as possible. No, wait, the Arubanian fleet didn't attack directly, they wanted to go to the Golden Court stronghold, they knew that they would fall into chaos, so they planned to let the Yaki fleet consume their strength first, and they would take the first step to seize the treasure in the Golden Court stronghold, and then sit back and reap the benefits when they and the Yaki fleet were defeated!

This shows that the alliance between the Arubaneians and Yaki is not strong, and the Arubaneians are wishful thinking to pick the fruit. Moreover, as far as he knew, the Arubanian warships, although inferior to Yaki in tonnage, were superior to Yaji in sail handling, agility and speed.

The Arubanians made a mistake, if they attacked with all their might at this time, they might not have any room for maneuver, but they actually gave up their speed advantage, so they had a chance to survive.

A battle plan slowly unfolded in Elda's mind. (To be continued.) )
