"What's wrong with you today, you seem to be in a good mood?" Lyubov tucked her long hair behind her ears and looked up at Roland, her eyes smiling and tender. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Roland smiled embarrassedly, "Probably because I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you a little......"

Lyubov's eyes were shining, and his smile was so beautiful that it seemed to be glowing, and he took the initiative to wrap his arms around his waist and hug him hard, his cheeks pressed against his strong and broad chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Immersed in a warm and tranquil atmosphere, I don't know how long later, I accidentally caught a glimpse of Sukhoi and Morozov pointing in this direction, and suddenly his cheeks were hot, and he broke free of Roland's arm in embarrassment: "There are too many people here, let's go up and talk." ”

Roland nodded, holding her hand and ascending the elevator.

"Mr. Kun Tiliang, I didn't expect that we would meet again on such an occasion, it was really a wonderful encounter." Accompanied by Roland, Liu Bofu walked into the briefing room, shook hands with Kun Tiliang, who got up to greet him, and asked him with a smile: "You hurried to the front line to see me, did you receive a message from the 'veteran'?" ”

Kun Tiliang nodded, and said solemnly: "I did receive the news that Maximian formed a team of non-combat ships such as engineering maintenance and logistics supply, separated from the main fleet, released a large amount of smoke along the way, and disguised as the illusion that the main fleet was sneaking in the ten miles of fog, deliberately attracting the attention of the giant eagle and misleading you to track it, and his real main fleet, strictly enforcing the light control, has fled to the direction of the giant demon island at night." ”

Lyubov was taken aback and muttered: "No wonder the result of my divination pursuit operation is ominous, it turned out to be Maximian's trick, fortunately, the 'veteran' sent the news in time, otherwise it would be too late to turn around and go back to chase Maximian when the camouflaged fleet is discovered." ”

"So please tell Her Highness Victoria as soon as possible, correct the course immediately, and now pursue at full speed There is still a glimmer of hope to prevent the Maximian fleet from escaping back to the Troll Island." Kuntiliang is colorful.

Lyubov took out the High Communication Stone and sent a letter to his sister.

Roland knew that magic was quick and convenient to transmit messages, but it could also be intercepted and eavesdropped by magic, and the farther away the message, the greater the risk of being eavesdropped, so Kun Tiliang preferred to take an airship to convey the news to Lyubov in person. In the same way, the "veteran" who went undercover on the "Sea Palace" sent a message to Kun Tiliang, taking a greater risk, at least when the "Sea Palace" opened the "Demon Duncan Forbidden Zone" for communication control, he would not be able to transmit the news to the outside world, otherwise he would definitely be noticed by Maximian, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Liuba, what is the origin of that 'veteran'?" Roland couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

Lyubov shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "Three days ago, Kuntiliang came to me, claiming to have received secret information, the ruling families of Rova, Tana and Cold Spring City secretly colluded with pirates to provide logistical supplies for Maximian and fund the pirate fleet to attack Port Baigull, the news came from that 'veteran', I don't know his identity, Kuntiliang said that in order to protect this person, he didn't want to mention his name before the end of the war." ”

Roland thought for a while, the "veteran" knew the inside story of the secret collusion between the three city-states and the pirates, most of them were the high-level officials of the three city-states involved in this matter, and he knew the specific location of Maximian's flagship, so it can be seen that he was most likely on the ironclad battleship at the moment, from which a corollary can be drawn: the veteran is likely to be the person responsible for negotiating with the pirates, and it is unknown which of the three city-states he represents.

Lyubov was inevitably upset when Kun Tiliang refused to reveal the clear source of the information, but Roland was more supportive of Kun Tiliang's approach: adhering to the principle of confidentiality in all circumstances can ensure the safety of the informant's life to the greatest extent. Kun Tiliang spread his network of relationships all over the North Bay, and it was not just a clever mouth. This old slippery head is not a good person, but he is absolutely reliable in his work, and his mouth is very strict, and if Roland needs to file a lawsuit, he will not hesitate to ask him to be a lawyer.

A ball of red plastic energy light suddenly appeared in front of Lyubov. She reached out and touched the ball of light to receive the flow of information, and then said to Roland and Kuntiliang: "Weta has revised the course according to the intelligence, and everyone turned around to track the 'Sea Palace', but she also raised a suspicion - the current wind direction at sea is not favorable for our army's navigation, if we can't catch up with Maximian before sunset today, I'm afraid there will be no power to prevent him from leading the remnants of the fleet to escape back to the Giant Demon Island." ”

Roland knew that it would be very difficult to pursue the fleeing enemy ships at sea, and the chances of Maximian's fleet successfully escaping were not low, so what next?

"Let's assume that the worst possibility becomes a reality, Maximian leads the fleet back to the Giant Demon Island, and then do we continue to attack the Giant Demon Island, or do we collect our troops and withdraw to the White Gull Harbor?" Roland asked.

Lyubov was silent for a moment, and sighed: "There are more than 60,000 resident residents of the Giant Demon Island, at least one-fifth of whom have pirate backgrounds, Maximian can recruit new soldiers at any time, plus the dense mines laid on the periphery of the island's harbor, and the many artillery batteries hold the high ground of the harbor and are well defended, and we can't attack it with our current strength." ”

"Ma'am, I agree with all the difficulties you have said, but there is no room for retreat now," said Kuntiliang's face solemnly, "Maximian's fleet includes at least one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers, and three destroyers, and it is not hurt, if he is given the opportunity to return to his lair to recuperate, it will not be long before he recovers!" Don't forget, Maximian is not the number one leader of the Troll Island, and once the Kraken Queen finds out about this, she will definitely take revenge on the White Gull Harbor with even more brutal means, and recreate the terrifying scene of the North Sea Trolls raging the coastal city-states! ”

Lyubov's face changed when he heard this, and he frowned and said in a deep voice: "I also want to take advantage of Kraken's absence on the Giant Demon Island to completely eliminate the pirates, and it will be much easier to deal with that banshee after cutting off the minions, but our current fleet alone really can't afford to storm the Giant Demon Island, and reluctantly attacking will only pay a senseless sacrifice." ”

In terms of attitude towards Giant Demon Island, there have always been two camps of "hawks" and "doves" in Baigull Harbor. Kun Tiliang has always advocated peaceful coexistence with the Giant Demon Island and is regarded as a representative of the "doves", but when the situation changed and Baiou Harbor was forced to meet with the Giant Demon Island, his position also took a 180-degree turn, and he became tougher than the representative of the "hawks" of Lyubov Yangbo, and his words were full of gunpowder:

"Why don't you, in the name of the Speaker of the Bend League, call on the city-states to gather all their ships and join in the siege of the Giant Demon Island? Although there are not many warships in each city-state, and they are mainly old-fashioned sail warships, which can at least provide some artillery support, if that is not enough, I suggest that you recruit merchant ships in the city, provide logistical supplies for the fleet, and gather all your forces to capture the Giant Demon Island as soon as possible! ”
