513 Encounter

Emerald City, Waujin Church.

"I just received news today that Dela's fleet is out to sea!"

After Di Liya entered the house, she couldn't hide her excitement, and it was no wonder that the prey she was waiting for finally went out, could she not be happy?

"Lord Shangjin, tell me more specifically."

Morey was much calmer, and said slowly as he sat down.

"As soon as it dawned this morning, 21 armed merchant ships set off from the port of Pulun City and headed for the Batua Islands in the south, saying that they were going to open up a trade route, but as soon as they left the coastal waters of Pulun City, the bow of the ship turned around and rushed north, towards the north!"

Morey nodded, this Della also played a trick in order to hide people's eyes, it should be said that she was very cautious, but she probably didn't expect that she had already targeted them.

"Do you know where they're going to ambush?"

Generally speaking, the more economical is to intercept in the offshore sea, so that the voyage requires the least amount of time and materials, and the least accidents encountered during the voyage, but the disadvantage is that it is very easy to be detected, and once there is a discord, they will be threatened by reinforcements from the Emerald City, so on the whole, it may be the least "sexual".

The second is the interception of the Black Sea, the time and materials required for navigation will be much higher than that of offshore interception, and the probability of encountering accidents during the voyage is greatly improved, but the advantage is that the navigation is hidden, and even if you can't take the other party for a while, the other party's reinforcements will not be able to come in an instant, and when the time comes, it will be quite calm.

The second is the open sea, which is also the last thing Morey wants the other party to choose, although this distance is almost a long voyage, which is a great test for the supply of ships and the ability to sustain combat, but at the same time, it can almost eliminate the factor of the opponent's reinforcements, and eat the entire fleet.

Although Di Lia had already burned a summoning circle on a merchant ship, she could pull herself out to the open sea in an instant.

But the open sea is not the territory of humans and elves, and there will be underwater monsters and gods here at any time, and he doesn't want to find himself surrounded by a group of giant beasts.

"According to my intelligence, their supplies have only been brought for a month, even if there are some magical equipment on the ship, but there are nearly 4,000 people on 21 ships, there are no regular supply points, and relying on those magical equipment alone is just a drop in the bucket!"

Yes, magic can make fresh water and bread, but vegetables, melons and fruits can't, and not everyone has a half-plane ring like Morey that can be used to mix goods at any time.

For those noble professionals, the space ring is not enough to hold their own equipment and supplies, how can they put melons and fruits for those ordinary sailors?

"So I speculate that they must be ambushing near the Black Sea, just like before!

Morey nodded, just know the approximate location, and when the time comes, with the help of the eye of the sky, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a huge fleet of 21 warships?

Black Sea.

Auster. Meliane's face was like the gloomy weather outside, gloomy as if it was dripping water.

The high priest of the Waujin Church (the elves called Wushang Jin) just received the information, and his mood couldn't be better.

Of course, whoever knows that there are 21 warships waiting to be bitten out like hungry wolves will not be in a good mood.

If it weren't for his duty, he would have wanted to teleport back immediately, and he wouldn't want to stay here for a moment.

However, when he looked up and saw the family crest of the oak leaf, he had to sigh in resignation.

"Inform this area that there are pirates raging, let the lookouts pay attention!"

Some news is destined not to be told to the people below, so I can only use the excuse that it seems to be nothing, so that the people below are more vigilant.

But God knows exactly how much it will work!

These elves all have a sense of arrogance from the upper kingdom to the lower kingdom, and in their impressions, the image of human pirates is still stuck in the era of throwing Molotov cocktails with a small sampan, and they don't know that the elven continent has lagged far behind the Arthur continent because of the thousand-year-long seclusion.

The situation was indeed as he expected, and when the eight ships suddenly appeared on the side of the fleet, with the port side horizontally and the cannon fire was fired, the elven sailors still did not believe that the human who was only his own slave would be able to build a large sea ship like them.

Some people even closed their eyes and kept chanting, "This is an illusion, this is an illusion", until half of their body was broken by the solid cannonball.

"Enemy attack, defense!"

Looking at the sailors who are scurrying around like a litter of "messy" ants, Oster. Melione roared.

The shelling directly broke the mainmasts of three ships, and the sails of four or five other ships were damaged.

This is almost half of the combat power of a fleet of no more than 30 elven merchant ships.

As the temporary commander of this fleet, it was naturally impossible for him to throw these ships with damaged speed right here, so he had to issue an order for defense and at the same time speed up the activation of the summoning circle.

"I knew that I should have activated the summoning circle just now!"

Oster thought regretfully, maybe it was the subconscious of the ancient elven nobles who felt that he could stop or even defeat these ill-intentioned guys, so he didn't fill the summoning circle burned at the bottom of the cabin with mana crystals as soon as he received the information.

Fortunately, the elven fleet had already opened the spell defense barrier under their own orders, and those solid shells were no longer so threatening to themselves.

"At least it's no problem to hold on to your own reinforcements!"

Oster added in his heart.

When the Nava Blue Defensive Barrier was raised, iron bullets shattered and bounced off it, but not a single shell could enter the barrier.

At the same time as the opponent's artillery failed, another fleet actually rushed out on the other side of the elven fleet, looking at the fleet with the arrow formation, it was obvious that it was planning to fight hand-to-hand.

This made Ost breathe a sigh of relief, the personal strength of the elven sailors he led was still very strong, so he was not afraid of such a broadside battle.

But the human fleet was once again unexpected, and with a piercing sound of air, black shadows were thrown out of the fleet that had come close but had suddenly stopped.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

With the crisp cracking sound of the planks crashing into the barrier, flames exploded on the barrier.

"What is this? The power is actually no less than the [Flame Explosion Technique]! ”

But he didn't have time to think about what it was, because under this continuous bombardment, the protective barrier was getting weaker and weaker, and maybe it would disappear in the next second.
