The Zhoushui Fleet, the Qingdao Big Bird Fleet, and the Skeleton Pirate Fleet, the three fleets were distributed in a triangle at the mouth of Arthur, separated by several miles, and faced off nervously. In terms of strength, the Zhoushui fleet was the strongest, the Qingdao fleet was second, and the pirate fleet was weak.

The players of the Qingdao fleet returned to their own fleet, and if it was not a crime to lead the rogue of the Zhoushui fleet, they told the sword king of the Qingdao fleet, and the players of the Qingdao fleet were not sure of their ideas for a while.

The leaders of the Qingdao fleet quickly analyzed the countermeasures.

One of the deputy leaders of the Qingdao fleet, the Red Devil, wondered: "The Zhoushui fleet has the advantage, but why are they quietly moored at the mouth of Arthur without any movement?" Isn't it a crime to be a hooligan, isn't it a threat to officially declare war on our Qingdao fleet? Why is there no movement, he doesn't seem to have the intention of actively attacking us? ”

The Sword King shook his head and said, "No, the Zhou Shui fleet is waiting for the best opportunity to attack. The Zhoushui fleet and our head-to-head battle, although the Qingdao fleet was completely annihilated, but their Zhoushui fleet will also lose at least 200 light fighting ships, which is not a small amount. If we turn our head to attack the pirate fleet, and the Zhoushui fleet suddenly attacks the flank of our fleet, then our fleet will suffer a devastating blow, and the losses of the Zhoushui fleet can be reduced to about 10 light fighting ships, and the losses will be reduced several times. If I were the commander of the Zhou Shui fleet, I would also wait for such an opportunity. ”

The co-lead player wondered, "You say, will they really fight us because of these pirates?" We Qingdao have no enmity with Zhou Shui, they will make an enmity with us because of these pirates? ”

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know, and they all looked at their sword king. Although the Sword King is the youngest among everyone, he is the most powerful.

The Sword King hesitated: "It's hard to say, it depends on the other party's will, goals, and loss tolerance. If the other side has a strong will to fight, they will treat us as enemies. And if you don't care about the loss of 100 fighting ships, then this battle may be difficult to avoid. It is better to be prepared for a bloody battle. ”

The leaders looked at each other.

"Sword King Boss, I think we'd better withdraw. Our goal is to go to Weihai and establish a military base in Weihai, not to compete with the Zhou Fleet for Lushunkou. If this pirate can't be suppressed, forget it, we don't need to fall out with the Zhou Shui fleet. In the event of a real fight, we will lose 60 light fighting ships in vain. ”

"Yes, the Red Devil has a point. Let's withdraw, the task of retrieving the sailing ship for the Weihai merchants cannot continue. This task is only 600,000 copper coins, which is not worth the value of three or four light fighting ships. No matter how you calculate it, you will suffer. ”

Some players wondered, "Sword King Boss, chasing and killing a group of pirates for no reason doesn't seem to be your usual style. Sword King Boss, is there any special reason why you are doing this? ”

The Sword King smiled lightly and did not explain.

Actually, there is no particular reason. He just wanted to bring his big bird fleet to this Lushunkou to see how strong the Zhoushui fleet was. Hunting down the Skeleton Pirates is undoubtedly a good reason to come here, rather than coming here for no reason.

Wolf Smoke is a very special organization, made up of a group of first-class professional gamers who are lone and interconnected, and there is no such thing as who should play for whom. Only strength is recognized internally. The higher the strength, the more capital there is, and the higher the level of tradability.

From the supreme leader of the wolf smoke to the ordinary members, they all independently show their own power. Sharing information, occasionally teaming up to make some big deals - of course, only people with enough money. to be qualified to do the best trading. The strength is not enough, so you can only do small business.

He Ah Jian needs to use a strong signal to tell the boss of Wolf Smoke that he is here, and he has enough strength to make the highest grade trade with the boss. As for the group of skeleton pirates, he just had fun with them.

The Sword King waved his hand and said, "Since everyone is not in favor of continuing to hunt down pirates. Excessive losses caused by the fight against pirates. Then let's forget it and prepare to withdraw. Travel to Weihai. ”

Only then did the leaders settle down.

The Qingdao fleet saw that it could not bargain from the hands of the Zhou Shui fleet. I don't dare to do anything but waste time here. After a stalemate for half an hour, they finally began to retreat on their own initiative, intending to turn around and leave, returning to the Shandong Peninsula.

However, the Qingdao fleet's reluctance to go to war did not mean that the Zhoushui fleet was also unwilling to go to war.

At this time, when the Qingdao fleet was about to retreat, the Zhoushui fleet suddenly moved, and the entire fleet began to slowly row forward. Seeing this, the skeleton pirate fleet also excitedly followed suit. If the Zhou Shui fleet wants to clean up the Qingdao fleet, then they, the pirate ships that were chased by the Qingdao fleet, don't mind falling into the well, shooting a few cold arrows from the side, and beating the Qingdao fleet a few times.

The Qingdao fleet was taken aback, stopped turning around, and continued to keep "head-on" to the Zhoushui fleet.

In naval warfare, the formation and posture of the fighter fleet are very important, and the combat results achieved are completely different. The main posture is to "hull front opposite" and "hull side opposite" contact combat. However, it is very taboo to be attacked when the fleet turns direction, and at this time, the offensive and defensive capabilities of the fleet are reduced to the lowest value.

The retreat of the Qingdao fleet was forcibly stifled by the Zhou Shui fleet.

The Qingdao fleet had to stop turning around and stay in place.

Immediately, the Zhoushui fleet also stopped and remained two or three miles away. This distance is very sensitive, and if there is movement on either side, the other side can immediately take the corresponding action. The Zhou Fleet sent some small boats, which roamed unscrupulously less than a mile around the Qingdao Fleet to conduct all-round monitoring. The Qingdao fleet did not dare to scatter and fight these fast-paced little things.

The leaders of the Qingdao fleet finally understood the intentions of the Zhou Shui fleet, and they were shocked and shouted, "The Zhou Fleet is not a hooligan, he wants to kill us all!" This madman wants to go to war with us? "He's definitely playing with the idea. Didn't he say he was going to settle the account with us for the invasion? He wants us to leave, but we can't go. "He must be trying to hold us back, and then swallow us all in one bite at the perfect time for us to turn and leave!" "So what do we do now? You can't spend it here all the time, can you? We didn't have much food or water with us. "This hand is too insidious and vicious!" "Let's just fight with them now, even if we are wiped out, he will not be better!"

The Sword King was also nervous, he was not as tough as the leader of the Zhou Water Fleet. He shouted, "Don't panic, immediately count how much food and water are still stocked in each boat?" See how much longer we can hold out? ”

"Yes!"

The leaders rushed out of the fighting ships and informed the ships to report accurate grain and water reserve data. The results were quickly obtained. They went to Weihai on this trip, and they didn't carry too many things, and all the food and water could last for a total of three days. Half of it has now been consumed.

"From now on, ships are cutting supplies to the lowest level needed to maintain NPC morale. In addition, send a player to commit suicide, return to the Qingdao base quickly, and use the first-level secret password to urgently send the second largest bird fleet to reinforcements. ”

The Sword King quickly gave the order and deployed.

On the flagship, after the Sword King personally told a close player the confidential password, the player immediately committed suicide and returned to the Qingdao base, informing the Second Fleet to rush to Arthur for help. However, the total distance from the Qingdao base to the port of Arthur is 960 miles, and even if the Second Fleet is the fastest, it will take nearly a day and a half to arrive.

The Sword King had to admit that he had done something stupid and provoked a plague god of the Zhoushui Alliance.

In fact, even in the Zhoushui Alliance, few people dared to provoke hooligans, but they didn't expect to be bumped into by him. If Dapeng is still in charge of commanding the Lushunkou base today, perhaps the Qingdao fleet will be released after a stern warning. But hooliganism is not a crime absolutely not, whoever provokes him, absolutely no good result. If the strength of the Qingdao fleet exceeds his fleet, then that's it. However, the Qingdao fleet is not as strong as the Zhoushui fleet, and hooligans are not guilty, where can they have such a good temper and let them go.

The Zhou Shui fleet is at his own doorstep, so he doesn't have to worry about running out of supplies at all. A large number of small boats could bring a large amount of food and water from the mouth of Arthur at any time to replenish the boats. There is no shortage of supplies, and there is no problem in the confrontation for ten days and half a month.

The hooligans were not guilty of being angry a long time ago, and the Qingdao fleet ran to his territory to spread wildness, and he came whenever he wanted, and he could catch whoever he wanted, and he could leave if he wanted? So where does his face go? What is he, the supreme commander of the Lushunkou base, fake? He is now going to go down with the Qingdao fleet until the Qingdao fleet is exhausted. If the Qingdao fleet can't help but take the initiative to attack, then he will accompany him and fight a battle.

Seeing this, Dapeng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

According to the latest military regulations formulated by the Zhoushui Alliance, the decision-making power of the war lies with the Supreme Command, and as the supreme commander of a military base of the Zhoushui Alliance, he does not have the power to take the initiative to take military action against other targets, but he has the power to take the initiative to defend the security of the base.

The hooligans are either guilty or are using the right of active defense to force the Qingdao fleet to fight him. This did not violate the military regulations of the Union. He couldn't dissuade him either.

After thinking about it for a while, Dapeng informed one of his subordinates to immediately commit suicide and return to the Tanggukou base, and immediately report the matter to the Supreme Command. It was up to the Supreme High Command to decide whether or not to go to war with the Qingdao fleet.
