Chapter 314: The Navy Returns
Just as Svein was rushing to Besilik, the Noxus Navy had finally caught up with its target.
For the sake of these thousand Fendo light horses, the Noxus Navy had been chasing this extremely loaded transport ship for ten full days.
Considering the problem of supply, if it did not catch up with the target within two days, the fleet would have to turn around and return home.
In this case, Nurendel, as the marshal, was under great pressure.
Who knows what's going on with the ship up ahead?
Obviously, the speed itself is not fast, but it can always suddenly explode when it is about to be overtaken, and then occasionally throw away a distance.
When did Naga Kapoulos have such a gift?!
Nulandel didn't suspect that there might be an ambush, but the other party's route has always been in the known area, and there are no conditions for an ambush!
You know, the ambush of naval warfare is many times more difficult than land warfare - in the absence of communications, naval warfare is far more difficult to coordinate than land warfare, and as a result, naval warfare is very dependent on the quality level of the sailors themselves.
And no matter how high the quality of the sailors, it is almost impossible to complete an ambush on a known course.
In addition, Svein attached great importance to this group of military horses, so Nulandel simply kept chasing them, and all kinds of means were used to encircle and intercept them along the way, but there was no lack of effect.
With Hex binoculars in hand, Nurendel grinned again as he looked ahead at the transport, which had slipped faster than a rabbit after spotting his tracks.
However, the next moment, a smile suddenly bloomed on Nurander's face.
I saw that the transport ship in front of me suddenly shook, and then a puff of smoke floated up, and the speed began to drop rapidly.
Their ship is out of order!
The excited Nurunder took a closer look and finally confirmed that there was indeed a problem with the ship ahead, and that the ability to accelerate suddenly was gone!
And now, whether it is the fleet of the Noxus Navy or this transport ship in front, both sides are on a normal course and there will be no danger of being ambushed!
In this case, Nurandel directly asked the herald to raise the flag, and the Noxian navy directly dispersed to encircle the target.
And the target's side also seemed to be a little flustered, and his first reaction was not to find a way to escape, but to ...... A lifeboat was dropped.
What the heck?
Seeing this, Nurunder finally couldn't help but laugh.
How big is a lifeboat?
It's just a small boat, and there are only a dozen or twenty people on it.
According to information from Svein's side, the number of people ambushing the transport troops exceeded five hundred!
Isn't the reason why those people chose such a transport ship that is not fast because they could even load all the men and horses?
Now you put a lifeboat down, even if you run 30 people, what about the remaining 400 people?
But that's fine—as long as they are surrounded by themselves, those people can only surrender obediently, and for their own safety, they can't do anything to the horses.
Soon, the voice of the amplified circle of persuasion resounded on Nurander's flagship.
"Ensure the safety of the war horse, surrender and don't kill!"
"Your leaders have abandoned you!"
"As long as you hand over the war horse, I will let you go!"
In the Hex telescope, Nurundel saw more.
For example, lifeboats are packed with people.
For example, the transport ship stopped.
For example, the transport ship raised the white flag, which represents surrender.
The lifeboats were fast - they had fled before the encirclement of the Navy was complete.
The transport, on the other hand, simply stopped moving after hoisting the white flag.
The Noxus Navy cautiously approached the transport.
The stopped transport was silent, and there was no one on deck except for two tethered Fendo horses.
Nurendel's eyes widened - something was wrong, what about people?
The next moment, a yodeler who had been waiting on the transport ship for a long time finally excitedly pressed the detonator in his hand.
"Boom-"
A red mushroom cloud rose up in the Noxus naval encirclement—a transport ship they had been chasing for ten days...... Exploded!
The detonation of Hex's blasting gel caused a huge shockwave, and Nurendel on the flagship fell unsteadily on the deck.
Flames rose into the air, turning the sea red.
Before the Noxians could react, the entire transport began to tilt and then sank rapidly......
This?!
Nurunder was completely stunned.
Why?
If you don't agree with each other, you can blow up the whole ship, what about the people inside?
That's too ruthless, isn't it?
Noxus doesn't do that!
Feeling that something was not quite right, Nurunder wanted to send divers to find out the clues to the wreck as soon as possible - but due to the huge whirlpool on the surface of the sea, the matter had to wait a little longer.
The next day, when the divers had searched for the ship's remains, Nurandel learned that there were indeed quite a few Fendo horses on board, but there were no one.
There was not a single human body in the entire cabin.
Thinking back on the whole incident, Nurunder suddenly felt that everything revealed a kind of weirdness.
Aren't they targeting the Fendo Light Horse? Then why did you blow up all the Fendo horses?
Why did there be only so many twenty or thirty people on a ship, where did the large force that attacked the transport troops go?
Thinking about it, Nurendel felt only suspicious, as if a fog had hidden the truth of everything.
And when he couldn't figure it out, Nurunder could only choose to return.
……………………
In fact, as the divers had concluded, the Fendo light horses on the transport were all real, but there were only twenty or thirty people.
These pirates from Bilgewater are "bait to lure the Noxus Navy out", bait, why so much?
Long after having robbed the Fendo horses and brought them to the ship, the pirates scattered in pieces, leaving only twenty or thirty men to attract the attention of the Noxians.
For the Noxians, the most important thing at the moment is this batch of war horses!
So the Findor light horses are all real, and a thousand are on board.
The ships were large, the horses were all there, and under the influence of misthinking, Nurender subconsciously thought that the robbers were also there.
It is through this misunderstanding that the lifeboat can escape smoothly.
Now that the decoy's goal is accomplished, they pretend that the thrusters are broken, and take advantage of the lifeboat golden cicada to detonate the pre-arranged Hex Explosive Gel just when the Noxians thought they were winning, and threw a huge fireworks party.
And when Noxus returns, they will find that their retreat has been blocked.
The original supply point...... It is now the base camp of the rebels.
The returning Noxus Navy was destined to be a sheep.
