After saying goodbye to Alberto from the home port of the Second Legion Naval Fleet, Higg returned to Fuxing City on the morning of the third day.

Lan Xian'er said: "Campbell is waiting to see you in the interior hall, I helped you hold it for five days!" He hasn't seen you for the past few days, and he is so angry that he says he has to see you today! ”

Higg covered his head, lay down again, and said, "Lan Xian'er, don't worry! You work harder, go and tell Rogson to expel Campbell, I'm too sleepy to see him! ”

Lan Xian'er was stunned, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Hehehe, okay, I'll accompany General Rogson, I've endured Campbell's good face for a few days, and today I'm going to take a good look at his angry grimace, haha!" ”

Higg yawned deeply, didn't even open his eyes, and said lazily, "Whatever you want, as long as you don't kill him!" ”

……

Three days later, twelve battleships of the Third Legion and nine warships of the Second Legion led by Aberto met unexpectedly in the waters of Fuxing City, but the two sides did not fight, but cautiously began to confront!

Higg didn't expect that the Third Legion would actually dispatch half of the fleet strength in the Third War Zone, it seems that the other party is really annoyed, and he will definitely not give up if he doesn't take the port of Fuxing City, it seems that even if Nicole's fleet and Aberto's fleet are combined, they can't take too much advantage! Although Nicole's battleship is the most advanced, the lack of experience of the navy is also offset, fifteen against twelve, even if you can win, you will have to pay a heavy price! He didn't lose like the two legions of them, and he would scratch his heart and lungs when he sank one of his ships.

The original plan to find Thomas and Pantony's whereabouts has been shelved indefinitely, and Higg must now deal with the aftermath of the battlefield turmoil, and it is better to solve the security of the port for a long time to ensure the smooth flow of the lifeline at sea!

"Herald, send a speedboat to the flagship of the Second Legion fleet at once, deliver the first letter to Captain Aberto, and then ask him to manage to deliver a letter to Yaning, hurry!"

"Yes, Lord of the Castle!"

Lan Xian'er on the side smiled: "You believe in Captain Nicole so much? ”

Higg smiled and said, "I have to trust her, I have been born and died with her too many times, and I have seen her ability to fight at sea. If she can't do anything, she'll know how to do it! ”

"Hehe, it's all in one battle, to ensure the safety of the route in a few years! I'm afraid that your current sailors will be embarrassed! ”

"Nicole will have a way, I'm worried that the monsoon is ready to change direction again! Time was of the essence, and the Second Fleet only promised to help us for three months! ”

……

More than two months later, in the evening, a hundred kilometers southeast of Truto, the home port of the Third Army's Third Theater of Operations, Nicole on the flagship of the Fuxing was sitting in her captain's room, waiting for the last ray of light in the sky to disappear.

On a moonless night, Captain Nicole ordered the remaining five brand-new warships to follow the flagship Fuxing and head at full speed towards the northwest port of Truto, even so, it would take them four hours to reach the port of Truto, because a month ago, the monsoon had begun to turn into a northerly wind, although the headwind hindered her sneak attack plan, but Ni had to take risks for the safety of Fuxing City's sea lifeline for the next few years!

With the support of the military intelligence of Aberto's Third Legion, Nicole learned that the total number of warships of the Third Theater Fleet of the Third Legion was twelve heavy capital warships and fourteen fast sail warships, and the size of the battleship fleet in one theater actually exceeded the size of the Second Legion of Catherine's camp. After Arad came to power, although the number of the Third Army was not changed, the Third Army had been divided into five theaters, equivalent to five army corps, and after several years of expansion, the combined military strength of the five theaters of the Third Army exceeded the combined military strength of the first and second army corps loyal to Catherine, and the third theater was one of the two theaters in which the third army had a fleet.

Of the twenty-six warships, twelve were sent to blockade Fuxing City, three were floating on the sea where the escorts were supplied to the twelve warships, five were stationed outside, and only six remained in the home port. Three of them are heavy capital ships, three are clippers!

What Nicole has to do is to sneak up on her home port, destroy these six ships as much as possible, and then leave the port and return home, destroying the three warships that are escorted and fed on the way.

The port of Truto is in a bay, and the other five warships stationed in the adjacent port can rush back to their home port within three hours after receiving the signal, so Nicole's battleship only has one hour to destroy these six battleships that docked at the home port, and then quickly have to return to the sea, because there is still an hour and a half from the home port to the entrance of the bay, if the rescued warship is sealed in the bay, plus the strength of the shore defense, even if its fleet can break through, it will lose more than half.

Nicole's fleet sailed into the bay at a rapid pace under the cover of darkness, leaving only the six battleship to stand guard at the mouth of the bay.

"Send a signal to the captains of the ships, reiterate the order, the second and third ships will follow the flagship for the main attack, and the fourth and fifth ships will be responsible for the two wings, and our purpose is to destroy the battleships and try not to entangle with the enemy ships. After an hour, no matter what the result is, it is necessary to return home! Attack in five minutes! "Moments before the attack, Captain Nicole reiterated his battle order.

After receiving the response of the ships, the five battleships were like an arrow, with the flagship of the Fuxing at the top of the arrow, followed by ships No. 2 and No. 3, followed by ships No. 4 and No. 5, and quickly rushed into the port of Truto.

On a moonless night, the sentinels of Truto Harbor discovered Nicole's fleet just as the Revival was about to rush in front of them.

"Woo--enemy attack-" The horn sounded, and the flare was lifted into the air!

"Enemy attack, the fleet of the Second Legion, five!"

……

Nicole's fleet rushed to one of the main ships, firing rockets at the opposing ships, throwing flammable materials such as sulfur, charcoal, and oil, and the other ships followed suit.

It was impossible for the enemy ships to start quickly, and they were burning in flames, and the sailors on the battleships were fighting fires, starting the battleships and shooting arrows to counterattack. Five warships weaved through the enemy's harbor, constantly pouring rockets, sulfur, and charcoal on the ships, and suddenly the harbor was on fire, and it was as bright as day.

The other auxiliary clippers in Truto Harbor were also quick to respond, and the sailors of several armed clippers rushed towards Nicole's fleet, hooking up and jumping gangs, although the ship's soldiers cut ropes or were killed on deck, suffering heavy casualties.

The six main battleships slowly hung their sails in the fire and joined the warband.

Rocket fire between battleships and warships, and jumps and anti-jumps between clippers and battleships. The threat of the enemy's six warships is not as great as the threat of the clippers in the harbor, and they are caught off guard, which is already more chaotic, and at the same time, the soldiers and sailors not only have to defend against rocket attacks, but also have to start the battleship, adjust the battleship, and more people are forced to be transferred to extinguish the fire!

Nicole doesn't care about the entanglement of those clippers at all, she can sink if she can, and fight with them if she can't, anyway, these ships can't stop the free movement of her own warships.

As the mainsails of the two capital battleships and a speedsail beside him caught fire, the burning flames reached high in the sky!

"Sky Royal Griffin, watch out for air defense!" The watchman on the flagship followed the firelight and saw many royal griffons in the sky begin to dive into their fleet ships.

The crossbowmen on the tower had to turn some of their attention to the swooping griffins.

For a time, in the fierce firelight, the harbor was in chaos, from the sky, to the deck, to the water, all fiercely fighting for control and sea dominance.

As the mainsail of the other speedsail caught fire, the opponent's only remaining capital battleship and one speedsail began to join the battle for control of the water, while the four battleships that lost their mainsail began to tilt slowly!

On the deck of the battleships of Nicole's fleet, the fighting became more and more fierce, and more and more clippers joined the ranks of encircling and suppressing the five warships.

The royal griffons in the sky also swooped down incessantly, and their target was not the deck, not the arrow tower, but the sailman, the lookout, and many griffons were shot or wounded by the arrow tower, and fell on the deck and on the sea. But more griffons continue to swoop down! The losses of sail operators and lookouts were even heavier, those who were killed, scratched, and fell by the force of the dive, and many more sail operators and lookouts kept replenishing the positions of the lost personnel from the deck.

"Send a flare and return as planned!" Nicole ordered.

Four opposing warships lay flat on the surface of the sea, braving the raging fire, illuminating the sailors who jumped into the sea as they fluttered in the sea; The other two, although not destroyed, were still burning violently and began to tilt slowly.

"General Nicole, the second battleship is trapped, send a signal, please return first!" Lookout hand report.

"Send a signal and order the other three ships to return first!" Nicole ordered.

"Turn the rudder, target the second ship, rescue at full speed!" Nicole ordered all the crew members on her flagship.

……

The flagship of the Fuxing rushed into the encirclement of the second battleship, and many sailors immediately climbed on the deck, fighting fiercely with the sailors on the battleship! The griffons in the sky began to swoop down on the lookouts and sailmen again, and the second battleship was even more precarious.

"Open the lower hatch and order the princess guards to join the battle immediately!" Nicole said angrily.

It's been an hour, Nicole has to rescue the second ship as soon as possible, and he can't care about it so much, so he has to show his hole cards and immediately ask his instructor to arrange six naga, thirty gargoyles, and sixty big goblins on the deck, in the air, and on the arrow tower.

These guards, who have been locked up in the cabin for a long time, have long been eager to try! Joining the battle group, a Naga with three pairs of arms and six weapons, constantly slashed people on the deck, there was absolutely no one-in-one enemy, and the situation on the deck was instantly reversed. The gargoyles, with the cooperation of the elves of the Arrow Tower, have launched a battle for air supremacy with the griffons to protect the few sailors on the battleship.

For a while, the deck was calm, but the air was still fiercely contested, and gargoyles continued to fall on the deck and on the sea, but they also succeeded in curbing the arrogant royal griffin!

The No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 battleships also came back one after another, and with the armor of the battleships, they smashed into a waterway.

"Send a signal, order all warships, cover the return of No. 2!"

The hull of the second battleship was not damaged, but the main thing was the loss of more than half of the sailors and sailors, and after a slight adjustment, it did not affect the navigation too much.

As Nicole's flagship left under last cover, the five battleships quickly disappeared into the night, following the north wind.
