Chapter 734: Pursuit Battle at Sea
On the morning of March 22, a huge caravan of 20 ships sailed in the East China Sea. This is the caravan of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, which has regrouped after a day and a half of preparation and turned grief into strength. Fourteen cargo ships, six escort warships.
Of course, the escort force of the Chamber of Commerce is far more than that, yesterday, the Imperial Navy had already set off first, and the sea area near the route was laid out in advance, and the Imperial Navy would escort the Chamber of Commerce fleet in the middle in a zigzag formation on the periphery. If the long-eyed enemy attacks the fleet, then the Imperial Navy will immediately tighten the encirclement and annihilate the invading enemy.
Of course, Deep Blue was not interested in any of this, and was even very disgusted by the Imperial Navy using his precious cargo as bait. All he wanted was that the ship would arrive safely. As long as you can develop rapidly in the early stage, build your own navy and have the help of the mermaid sea clan, you will fight back sooner or later. This time, there is also the escort of the Eternal Starlight Sea Clan troops, and the safety factor is also much higher.
Of course, the other purpose of Deep Blue calling Eternal Starlight for help was to see his military strength. This Eternal Starlight is also a maritime nation, and if he hides too deeply, it will make Deep Blue feel uneasy. In the current popular parlance, it is to strengthen military mutual trust and exchanges. National strategy, there is cooperation, there is also competition, this is normal. Similarly, Eternal Starlight's enthusiastic help is not only to take a fancy to the two boats of grain promised by Deep Blue, but also to show off military strength, so that it will be much easier to deal with Deep Blue in the future. As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy.
At this time, Deep Blue stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the sea and sky, thoughtfully.
The waves on the sea surface were undulating and rolling, and seven or eight huge water injections rose into the sky, and the crew exclaimed: "A school of whales! ”
At this moment, the dark blue message rang, it was the eternal starlight.
"Brother Deep Blue, my troops have come to pick it up, it's still timely."
Deep Blue said: "See, your troops are whales?" ”
Eternal Starlight smiled: "The whale is just an ocean bus, it won't help the player fight, you are taking a closer look." ”
Deep Blue raised his eyes and saw a large series of waves behind the whale, the armor in the waves was distinct, and it was clearly a long list of lobster warriors, and he couldn't see the level of these lobster warriors at level 90! In Gods and Demons, players can't see the level of NPCs that are 30 levels higher than their own, which means that these troops of Eternal Starlight are at least level 120 or higher! Deep Blue can't help but be surprised!
Eternal Starlight said: "The Lobster Warrior is not fast swimming, and it will definitely not be able to keep up with your fleet, so if you sail far away, you must use a rope to drag behind the big fish." This was inspired by shrimp fishing as a kid! ”
Deep Blue laughed and said, "It's really wonderful!" Brother Starlight is so talented! ”
Eternal Starlight smiled, "Whereever, whatever, isn't it all playing......"
Now, the first purpose of both sides has been achieved, Eternal Starlight has shown its strength, and Deep Blue has seen his strength. The difference is that Eternal Starlight is in a happy mood, and Deep Blue is depressed.
Eternal Starlight is confident that he has received special tasks and has continuously recruited powerful lobsters through missions, and his strength cannot be compared to others. Now other lord players don't even have soldiers at all, and their territories are refreshed by some weak civilian NPCs, all of which rely on the NPC army of the application kingdom to settle in for security defense, and they have no ability to go out to fight at all. Their own military power is several times ahead of them!
And Deep Blue, indeed, his kingdom is the same as ordinary lord players, and the current population is all weak civilian NPCs, either establishing military schools to slowly train and improve their level, or focusing on developing the economy and culture of the territory, waiting for the system to brush up strong NPCs. If it weren't for the unexpected triggering of the Nordic end plot, there was a vote of Viking warriors, sea clan warriors, and Beowulf who would definitely be incorporated by him in the future, then he would really be completely compared to this eternal starlight.
The thought that he had not been able to form an absolute crushing advantage made Deep Blue feel very uncomfortable in his heart.
……
At this time, on the other side of the ocean, a huge fleet composed of dozens of black skeleton warships crossed the maelstrom and slaughtered towards the eastern ocean. This is the warship of the Empire of the Dead.
That's right, it's the handiwork of Night Magic again!
When the Lionheart Empire's navy intervened, it meant that it was impossible to take down the navy fleet, and although Night Mira was a super player, he was not a god. Then, simply don't do it, and directly instigate the navy of the Undead Empire to dispatch.
What does this mean? means the second faction war.
That's right, it's better to fight late than early, and it's better to fight small than big, as a part-time pirate, I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so Night Charm will kill two birds with one stone this time - on the one hand, it will hit the dark blue, and on the other hand, as long as the war between the undead and the Lionheart Empire breaks out, then, the silent city on the mountainous border of the Lionheart Empire will become a battlefield. When the Holy See's Holy Maiden of Light settled in the City of Silence, it meant that it was impossible to take the last true artifact with the power of Night Mira's own strength, although Night Mira was a super player, he was not a god! Therefore, Night Charm is going to take advantage of the situation!
There are two more emerging countries on the side of the Light Alliance at once, and the Dark Alliance is indeed completely unmoving, which is extremely unfavorable to the Dark Alliance, and it is to suppress and interfere. Therefore, Night Mira's words coincided with the strategic concerns of the Dark Alliance, and the Undead Empire did not have any scruples about spring ploughing, so it was the right one to take the lead! I have to say that all-weather combat does not need to grow food, this is the anti-heaven advantage of the undead empire! The Undead Empire is going to disturb the Lionheart Empire this time! When the autumn comes, the orcs and other human kingdoms of the Dark Alliance will have a good harvest, and they will fight hard!
Therefore, as a player, you don't have to be able to change the pattern of the game, and many times you only need to choose a key entry point to take advantage of the situation. Nightmour, as a super player, knows this well.
Now, Nightglow's fleet is far behind the fleet of the Undead Empire. It's like a hyena following a pack of lions, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to get some leftovers or something. Of course, even if there is nothing to gain, it is still a pleasure to see the destruction of Deep Blue with your own eyes.
At 22 o'clock in the evening of March 22, the sky was full of stars and the sea breeze was gentle.
Navy stood in the bow of the boat from morning till night for a day, and it hurt for a day. Sailing is indeed very boring, and he hopes to have some shows now to spice up his mood.
Suddenly, the flotilla alarm sounded: "Enemy attack!! ”
It's finally here! For a time, the seamen of the ships were busy. Then the whole fleet suddenly began to turn. Veer? Deep Blue immediately ran to the captain's room, and at this time, the captain's expression was flustered.
Deep Blue asked in surprise, "What's going on?" ”
The captain of the fleet said in horror: "There is a large unidentified fleet in front of the flank, we can't hold out until help arrives, we must escape!" ”
Deep Blue was startled, and immediately took the telescope to look ahead, and sure enough, dozens of sail shadows were in the distance at sea level! Deep Blue Hates! The bait tactics of bullshit, labor and management should not take a fixed route!
Deep Blue hurriedly said: "Captain, run!" ”
"I'm running! The whole fleet, facing the direction of the wind, is sailing with full rudders! ”
It is impossible for the fleet to turn and reverse, and in the crisis, the captain of the fleet chose the most reliable strategy and adjusted the route to run downwind!
The sea chase begins. Deep Blue was horrified to find that the scale of the attacking enemy ship was beyond his imagination!
Deep Blue exclaimed: "Who is the other party?" ”
The captain said angrily: "Damn, do you smell the smell of corpses blowing in the wind?" It's the Empire of the Dead! ”
Deep Blue exclaimed, "How could they be dispatched? ”
The captain shook his head and said hurriedly: "I'm also very strange! We're just businessmen, I don't understand! ”
"Can we run away, then?"
The fleet snorted coldly: "The navigation skills of the undead are recognized as the worst, if we are not fully loaded, there is absolutely no problem, now, it depends on how long the navy can withstand for us!" ”
At this time, Deep Blue's message rang, it was Eternal Starlight: "Brother Deep Blue, it's not good, I can only run with you now, it's a garbage boat coming, we can't afford to mess with the Sea Clan!" ”
Deep Blue said, "Garbage boat? ”
Eternal Starlight sighed: "Everywhere the undead fleet goes, all kinds of disgusting rotting corpses and plagues are littered, although our warriors can carry it, but the whales can't bear it, the whales run away, and I, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, can't keep up with the fleet." ”
Deep Blue hurriedly said: "Okay, just keep up!" Brother Starlight, NPCs are too stupid to be reliable, and they are all counting on you! ”
Eternal Starlight smiled, "Don't worry, unless the troops are exhausted!" ”
At 22:26, 17 warships of the first escort fleet of the Lionheart Empire appeared.
Deep Blue scolded: "It took half an hour to appear, and when these stupid NPCs arrived at the labor-management shipwright, they would have to fall into the sea to feed Wang Ba!" ”
As soon as I thought of feeding Wang Ba, Deep Blue's heart suddenly sank, if my ship sank, would it be cheap Eternal Starlight? How is the system determined that food falls into the water? It seems that the goods are floating in the water, so they won't be wiped off immediately, right? Suddenly, Deep Blue felt more and more suspicious of the Eternal Starlight! For Eternal Starlight, who has such a large and powerful army, just two boatloads of food can satisfy him, right? He wouldn't be a man in front of him and a ghost behind his back, would he? Maybe his troops are following me so closely just to take advantage of the chaos!
No, we have to find a chance to get rid of his following, yes, knock out his bus whales, and let him honestly escort the war!
When the Imperial escort fleet saw the menacing undead fleet, the first reaction was of course not to block the car head-on, but to choose to run with the fleet and wait for the other two fleets to converge. This is even more angry deep blue scolding!
At this time, the entire fleet had deviated far from the main channel, and it was impossible to count on other caravans to help.
At 2 o'clock in the morning on March 23, in the pursuit, a total of 55 warships from the three fleets of the Lionheart Empire Navy converged in the open sea, plus 6 warships brought by the Chamber of Commerce, and surrounded the 67 warships of the Undead Empire! It is worthy of the captain of the fleet that said that the undead with the worst navigation skills should not be caught up under normal circumstances.
Now, the Lionheart Empire's tactics have been implemented perfectly, the question is, can such a big fat man eat?
