Chapter 146: The Flotilla

On February 17, the fleet of the Eritwin Kingdom flying the flag of the water orchid had crossed the entire territorial waters of the empire, which had lost order, and the fleet reached the boundary of the territorial waters of the Holy See.

In the unordered territorial waters of the Empire, there are always small groups of pirates haunting the oceans, which makes the soldiers who come to greet their princess not sleep well and eat well. It was a quasi-wartime voyage to the south for more than ten days.

The soldiers of the fleet, who had thought that the journey at sea would be quite safe, had to reassess the safety of the return journey at sea.

Their fleet sailed into the calm territorial waters of the Holy See, and the tense spirit of ten consecutive days finally relaxed.

And a well-planned attack will unfold in a calm morning.

In the early morning of 17 February, in the territorial waters of the Holy See, a fleet of six light sailing warships from the Kingdom of Yelitvin was sailing southwest, preparing to dock at noon.

Six light sailing ships sailed in the early morning sea fog, and the oil lamps on the ship's mast had not yet been extinguished.

The commander of the flagship walked up to the bow of the ship, and he looked around his surroundings and found that even after a night of sailing, the formation of the fleet was not in any state of disarray.

The Commander nodded in satisfaction, and was about to step into the cabin for a good night's sleep.

With a few "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sounds, a series of signal greaps shot into the sky, illuminating the sea area.

The commander hurriedly turned back, and he found several huge silhouettes hidden in the sea fog, which were the fleets of other forces.

Almost at the same time, there was a deafening "boom" in the sea fog, and a dozen solid shells were fired at the flagship of the fleet, one of which hit the wooden deck of the flagship, splashing large wooden spikes.

Unfortunately, the flagship commander was in the middle of the sputter of sawdust, and a long, sharp wooden spike pierced the commander's head from the temple, and the unfortunate fellow was killed instantly.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!"

The sailors of the Kingdom of Eritwin immediately showed their rich experience in naval warfare, and even if the flagship was attacked, the remaining warships that did not suffer the first round of attack did not turn into a state of confusion and fought on their own, but immediately cooperated with each other and formed a formation to protect themselves.

The mysterious raiders in the sea fog seemed to see that this fleet was not easy to mess with, and they did not continue to attack, but took advantage of the hazy sea fog in the early morning to withdraw from this sea area.

"I heard you've been attacked?! Lately piracy has been rampant, and those guys deserve nothing more than guillotines and gallows. Said the representative of the Punishment Knights, who had come to greet the fleet. It really frightened the envoys of your country. ”

"It's been two hours since it happened." The commander of the fleet of the Kingdom of Eritvin, who had been improvised to greet him, said to the delegates who came to greet him.

"What losses does your fleet have?"

"Only the flagship was hit by artillery fire and received minor damage. In addition to this, our commander was unfortunately killed in the previous artillery attack. ”

"Oh, that's an unfortunate thing."

"We have given him a sea burial. However, even if you get here, you will be deliberately attacked by the pirate fleet? ”

"Hell, the waters of the Sarga Empire are completely out of control. It's a pirate's paradise, and as you know, the Holy See doesn't have a large fleet, and the grown-ups of the Holy See have been plagued by small groups of pirates lately. ”

"We're going to welcome the princess home this time, but the current sea situation on the west coast of the mainland is really terrible." A must-read book

"Yes. I recommend you to take inland waterways. From the canal into the Emerald River, the fleet then crossed the north and south of the empire to the northern seaports and returned to the kingdom of Eritvin. ”

The Provisional Commander thought for a moment, and then he said, "That's fine, and it will take about three more days." To welcome the princess back to China, safety comes first. ”

"That's right, Princess Lilina is the only remaining direct member of your royal family, so you must be careful to protect it."

"Your Excellency, Knight."

A few hours later, the fleet entered the river harbor of College City, and Lilina was already waiting in the harbor, escorted by several Knights of Punishment.

And the blonde girl with golden eyes was chatting with Amella beside her easily, and she didn't seem to have mood swings because of the imminent parting.

"Lilina, do you really want to go back and fulfill your engagement?"

Lilina's best friend Emilya was very surprised by this, she had just learned that Lilina was suddenly going back to China, and she was going to get married as soon as she returned to China.

"yes, that's what I planned."

"But you don't care about the seniors you used to mention every day?"

"Hmph." Lilina frowned. "Who knows where the wildcat has gone? When I fell into the Underground Order, it was President Lamir who saved my life and eliminated the lurking creature. Senior, hum, that guy obviously didn't even leak his face, so he can't let me break the marriage contract. ”

Xiao Nizi's acting skills are becoming more and more proficient, and there has been a qualitative breakthrough so far.

Lilina Sain Allison's nose ached, and a few tears fell: "And the member of the Underground Order who was eliminated turned out to be Teacher Olivia, who tried to cause chaos in the territory of the Holy See, but was eliminated. ”

"I know, little Lily, you always look forward to Teacher Olivia, after all, she has given you a lot of guidance in magic, and you always say that she is the one who takes the initiative to approach you when you are most lonely." Amila nodded a little bitterly. "Things have come to this end, little Lily, you must have a hard time accepting it, right? I want to escape back to the north and get married. It's okay to stay away from this sad place. ”

"Thank you, little Amy." Lilina hugged Amela and gently patted her on the back. "Cherish, my friend. If that stupid senior comes back, you're going to kick him for me. ”

"Isn't that right?"

"That's good, I think Edith will kick him too. But I don't think he's going to care much about me."

“...... All right. Amira nodded.

The two girls said goodbye to each other at the harbor for a while, and the blonde girl with golden eyes walked on the sailing fleet returning north surrounded by everyone.

Amila waved a handkerchief on the ground, while Lilina waved a red handkerchief on the side of the boat in return.

A strong wind blew, puffing up the sails of the sailing fleet, urging the fleet to sail north.

Amila chased along the banks of the canal for a while, but after all, because the speed of people running on the ground was too fast to catch up with the sailboats, and finally, the girl on the ground became a small dot in her field of vision, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Your Highness the Princess." The commander of the Kingdom of Eritwin shouted softly when he saw Lilina stop waving her handkerchief.

"Huh? General, what do you want to say? Lilina looked back at the commander.

"....." The Interim Commander looked at Lilina with some sympathy, but he said nevertheless, "Welcome home, Your Highness Princess." ”
