Twenty nautical miles southeast of the Edward Islands, hundreds of warships were busily forming various artillery firing queues, quietly waiting for the commander's order, and an inconspicuous cruiser was far away from the fleet, wandering alone outside the battle line. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are more than a dozen warships like this reconnaissance part-time decoy, and as soon as any trace of the enemy is detected, the signal will be lit.

The artillery line behind these decoy battleships, with an artillery convoy of ten ships in formation, lined up in a long battle line, guaranteed that no one wanted to face such fire.

This is the method that Röhm can think of, relying on the superior guns of the Scapa battleship, which directly makes the other side often feel like fire, even if the enemy dares to approach, there are no fewer soldiers on board.

Of course, the help of Charlotte's fleet is also within Rom's consideration, but the number of air cavalry on hand is not quite large, maybe there is no need for that young lady's leather plate troops, right?

If Lorraine had been around, he would have mocked the serious-looking middle-aged man and taught him what it was to be too young...... No, it's too old, the idea is too simple, go on stage and get the clothes!

The familiar old man guard came to Commander Rohm's room, "Boss, can I come over now?" ”

"It's been so many years of brothers, I still need to say yes, come here." Rohm said.

The old man with the long knife opened the door and walked in, and at a glance he saw the scattered charts, sextants and compasses on the table, and said helplessly: "Boss, you have stayed up late again." ”

"Damn, you're not my mother...... The big war is about to begin, how can I fall asleep at this time, you should know very well about this. ”

"Okay...... But why don't we just leave, and instead accede to the Scapa lord's request and lead their fleet to meet the enemy? ”

"I know you want to say it's too expensive, but we can't be hunted down all the time, can we?"

"And after that?"

"Let's talk about it later, you must not have come here to talk nonsense, do you have any information?" Röm asked, staring straight at his guard.

"There is indeed intelligence, the Charlotte fleet sent planes to inform that the enemy will reach the vicinity of the Edward Islands by the afternoon at the latest, and an unknown number of undead have joined the enemy army."

"There are still undead in the afternoon...... That's bad news. Roma scratched his hair irritably.

"There is no way to do this, the previous air raid of Charlotte's fleet was interrupted by the undead, and a considerable number of planes were lost, relying on the remaining battleships, and if it was discovered by the enemy, it was afraid that it would be sunk with just one face,"

"Well, leave this question alone for the time being, how many ships are left of the enemy?"

"There were less than fifty cruisers and battleships, and the number of other warships is unknown, but at most they were medium-sized armed merchant ships and clippers, and their attacks were very good."

"That's good, but is there any notice of the location of Charlotte's fleet?"

"There's no information on this, maybe they were negligent."

"So how can an unreliable woman command a fleet." Rohm taunted Lorraine slightly, "Let that pilot go on another run, so that after the Charlotte fleet discovers the artillery bombardment of the battle line, it will immediately detour to the enemy's right rear flank and encircle." ”

The old man said "understood" and immediately left the command room, it will take a lot of effort to inform the pilot at this time, after all, the other party is now in Scarpa Harbor, and everything can only be ensured by air cavalry and mages to ensure smooth communication.

On the open sea, Lorraine is comfortably enjoying the sea food, his sailors and officers have sent a lot of fresh seafood, and there are Vivian and Loria's little Lori, beautiful girls and beautiful Lori, living happily.

Don't worry about the battle, get a pot and hide in the shelter of the aircraft carrier, blatantly violate the rules against the use of open flames formulated by yourself, and pull the beauties to eat hot pot together, but no one dares to say it, the privilege is really a good thing.

Speaking of the fleet that has experienced three air raids, it must be very embarrassing to think about the fleet that has experienced three air raids, and it must be very embarrassing to think about it, even with the help of the undead, but this is a naval battle.

Generally speaking, the undead are unbeatable on the road, and their numbers and damage immunity make it difficult for these bone clubs to resist.

But the sea is different, whether it is ancient or the era of magical industrialization, all kinds of flame products have always been the mainstream of naval warfare, how dare a mere bone stick fight against a large number of artillery?

However, these were the affairs of the Scapa fleet, the enemy combined fleet did not continue to be attacked by air raids, and according to Lorraine, with the power at hand and Vivien's unmanned fighters, it was not impossible to annihilate them.

But the time and effort spent is too great, and most of them will be hated by the lord.

This truth was understood from the subtle hints of the naval officers, although Lorraine really couldn't understand that he looked scared to death before, and now he dared to send a fleet to sail, the lord did it on purpose, right?

And the commander who led the team turned out to be Rohm, I heard them say that he was really a pirate, or a legendary pirate king on the way to the East in the New World, his reputation and command ability were undoubted, but was it really okay to let the pirates command the regular fleet?

No matter what Lorraine thinks, these are just minor problems, anyway, it's not his own country, and the credit will not be rewarded to himself as an outsider, figuring out that fixed-wing has also found a group of inventors who are enough to support the Magic Research Institute, which is the biggest gain of this trip.

With these technologies and experiences, Lorraine felt that he could return to the south of the New World and begin to prepare for the next military plan, as long as there were enough resources, the full mechanization of magic guidance would definitely be realized, and he couldn't wait for the new transformation of magic armor, the attachment of fixed wings, and the large-scale construction plan of the navy.

At this moment, the plane sent out to make contact appeared in the field of vision again, and it was not known what kind of order the Roma commander would give next.

Near the Edward Islands, the loitering cruisers finally spotted the enemy fleet, and although they had a quick fire and a ghost dragon dive to extinguish the decoy, the flare was already rising.

"Enemy signals detected! Goal: At three o'clock in the fleet, we can use the full power of our artillery! ”

"So what are you waiting for! Boys, get moving, fire! Fire! ”

Röhm's yell reached the ears of the others, and everyone began to act.

The first shell was fired by the 1st Artillery Strike Team of the Battle Line, and this large-caliber solid shell traveled a long distance due to the enchanted artillery, and finally smashed headlong on the side of a cruiser, causing several unlucky eggs and skeletons to fall into the water and go missing, opening the prelude to the Battle of Edward.
