Chapter 521: The Final Battle of the Sea of Bourbon (33) "Continuation of the History of the Sea War of Bourbon"

Continuing the History of the Bourbon Naval War

[Translator's note: Since the History of the Naval War of Bourbon was not completed, a Boris nobleman named Senafis (2076 - 2141 A.D.) continued to write it, which is the History of the Maritime War of Bourbon, published in 2136 A.D.] 】

[However, whether from a literary point of view or a historical point of view, Senafis's "History of the Maritime War of Bourbon" is far inferior to Hudros's "History of the Bourbon Maritime War", and Zhuyu depreciates Senafis's book to almost nothing. However, as the only contemporary description of the "Bourbon Sea War", this book has an important place. 】

[Therefore, when ancient books are published today, Senafis's "History of the Maritime War of Bourbon" is usually listed after Schudros's "History of the Naval War of Bourbon", so as to show the reader the whole picture of the huge war of "Bourbon Naval War", so as not to cause regrets because it was not finished. 】

The History of the Naval War in Bourbon, Volume 1, The Era of the First World War

[Translator's guide: In "The History of the Naval War in Bourbon", Senafis did not start after the lifting of the ban on "The Prohibition of Epos" like Hudros, but directly from the outbreak of the "Bourbon Sea War" in 2056, and until the era of the Great Rebellion, which is regarded as a retelling of the historical materials of Hudros, but with some new content]

[And one of the biggest differences between "The History of the Naval War of Bourbon" and "The History of the Naval War of Bourbon" is the author's attitude towards the gods. Hudros's attitude towards the gods is rather cold, and the reader can barely see any mention of the gods in the text unless it is necessary. Senafis, however, was a great admirer of the gods, superstitious about the proverbs of the gods, and mentioned them many times in his writings, attributing many of the results of wars to the protection of the gods. 】

[The second difference is that Hudros can fairly recount the war, which also makes his historical books more widely circulated, while Senafis has a strong subjective attitude in his own narrative, and it damages the value of historical materials, which cannot but be said to be a pity. 】

Continuing the History of Bourbon's Naval Wars, Volume II: The Age of Chaos

[Translator's Introduction: In the second volume, Senafis generally follows the framework of Shudros's "History of the Naval War in Bourbon", but it is too much used to make this volume not innovative, and even new historical sources are rarely mentioned, so scholars who have always studied the era of the Great Rebellion tend to turn to "The History of the Naval War of Bourbon" rather than "The History of the Maritime War of Bourbon" to understand this period of history. 】

Continuing the History of Bourbon's Naval Wars, Volume III: The Age of Exhaustion

[Translator's guide: The writing style of Senafis in this volume is not much different from that of the second volume, and it is a repetition of the old people's old wisdom, so the historical value is not too high. 】

The History of the Naval War in Bourbon, Volume IV, The Age of the Truce

[Translator's guide: In this chapter, the Sea of Bourbon has entered the age of Senaphis's life, so this chapter adds a lot of his own experience, bringing us a lot of historical materials. Unfortunately, however, the constant references to the utility of the gods (sea gods), and even the use of addictive ideas to prove the gods, undermine the historical value of the volume. 】

The History of the Bourbon Naval War, Volume 5, The Age of the Second War

[Translator's Guide: This volume is based on the last fragment of Shudros, expands the historical materials, and generally writes the content after the re-launch, and it is also one of the two most valuable volumes of this "History of the Naval War of Bourbon". 】

[In the year 2106 of the Great Calendar, our righteous island alliance declared war on the other side of the alliance, because our great Boris is the Boris protected by the god of the sea, and carries the task of supreme glory, and must replace the god of the sea to destroy those blasphemous countries, which is the reason why we Boris decided to declare war. 】

[I am honored to say that I participated in the march in support of the declaration of war long before the war, because as a noble nobleman, it is natural to support Boris's righteous actions, but I was too young and a little immature in my thinking at that time, so although what I did was generally right, not all of it was right. 】

[The initial strategy of our Boris is as follows: the army is divided into three major battlefields, the main battlefield is set on Bourbon Island, the main force is to recover the Fentina Channel, the second main force is to support the Boamis, and the third main force is to hold the Edonan Peninsula. The main force of our elite fleet is to attack Portlou, and the second main force is used for the operation of the Old Passage. 】

[Therefore, after the autumn harvest of 2106, our great Boris sent a large army across the Old Passage and landed on the shores of the Fentina Passage, and began the war to pacify the evil and despicable Bourbon, and I was one of those armies. The second main force is to support the Boemis in case they are conquered by the evil Potru. 】

[The evil and ungodly Portloo realized the greatness of our Boris, and they were afraid of our heroic Boris, so in the early days of the war, their strategy was to let go of the south and attack the north with all their might, and it was necessary to expel our Boris, which was all because of Portloo's fear of us, no way, the strong country would be like this. 】

【...... The Maisica people, in the previous 40 years of war, have diligently helped the Pushlu to fight in various places, every battlefield in the Portland is flowing with the blood of the Pushica, it can be said that the Maisica people have contributed unparalleled sweat to the Potloo, even we Boris admire the hard work and bravery of the Pushica. 】

However, Potloo was not satisfied with the oppression of the Pushicans, they always demanded, more, more, more troops and taxes, which led to a wave in the inner lake of Mashica in 2107, which means that the sea gods were dissatisfied with the greed of the Potru, so in 2108, Mashica launched an unbearable backstab against Potru. 】

[Maisica's backstab is just, it is something that a pious disciple should do after being driven to a dead end, and it is beyond reproach, so we Boris quickly announced that we will come to the aid of Maisica, prevent Maisica from being conquered by the evil of Portelu, and protect this pious country. 】

Although the treacherous and cunning Potloo had already taken control of the Frank Fortress to prevent Pushka from recovering the Myramie Peninsula, the road to Usica's south to conquer the old land of Ulchi was not dangerous for Potloo. 】

[Before that, Potloo had already sent his main forces north to attack the Indolands and Boemi, and the troops in the south were already nervous in the face of the combined attack of Ulchi and Blaazon, and when Maischka defected to justice, Potloo's battlefield in the south had a vague tendency to collapse. 】

【...... On an unknown night in the year 2110 of the Great Calendar, Ekosi VI of Butoxi, while dreaming, dreamed that the Butoxie Peninsula was flooded by the sea, and Nasu was destroyed by a monstrous flood, and everyone around Ekoxi VI died, leaving him alone to drift with driftwood, barely surviving. 】

[At this moment, an oracle with an unclear face stood on the clouds and reprimanded Ekosi VI, saying that Ekosi VI had ignored the teachings of the scriptures and made allies with evil nations, which led to Butoxi's doom. 】

[After being reprimanded, Ekosi VI was frightened, and he stammered: "It's all because I accidentally angered my suzerain, and as a result, I can't ride a tiger now, and I can only go to the end with Pottolu, of course, I also know that I am wrong, but I can't help it." ”】

[The oracle asks, "I am willing to convince Braazon to settle the enmity with you, but you need to put aside your evil thoughts and become a godly ruler from now on, so that the gods will continue to protect you.] ”】

[After speaking, Ekosi VI woke up from the dream, remembering the words in the dream, he couldn't help but be shocked, and in order to prove whether the words of the divine envoy were valid, Ekosi VI sent an envoy to negotiate peace with Brayason, and the result was easily agreed, this is the greatness of the divine envoy!

[Translator's note: What Senafis did not make clear is that the unofficial peace treaty signed by Ekosi VI on behalf of Butoxi and Brayazon, and that Butoxi's failure to withdraw only freed him from freezing his status in the alliance on the other side, laid the groundwork for Butoxi's backstabbing Braazon again, and Senafis did not mention anything about it, but spent a lot of time describing the gods.] 】

[Therefore, after learning about the power of the gods, Ekosi VI became more religious than before, worshipping the gods day and night, while the ruler of Braazon, Thugmatt VI, was arrogant and did not believe in the gods because of his previous victories, and in the end both of them were punished by their own blessings or punishments. 】

[Translator's note: The biggest strategic impact of Butoksi's declaration of neutrality was that Braazon withdrew a large number of mobile troops from the Butoxsi Peninsula and transferred them to the northern battlefield to attack the southern part of Portlu, coupled with Maishika's betrayal, the southern part of Portolu was besieged on almost three sides, and the strategic situation deteriorated extremely. 】

"Senafis, don't write your book, there are more important questions, have you made a decision?Do you want to go to the Edonan Peninsula or stay here?" Senafis, who was hunching down on the table and scribbling, suddenly raised his head when he heard a familiar voice.

"My esteemed brother, do you still need to ask this question?, of course, I will follow you, I will go wherever you are," Senafis replied without hesitation, "General Xi Yuyou, I think in time you will become the second card, I mean Napolika." ”

Xi Yuyou, who came from the Cha Anli family with Senafis, of course knew what Senafis originally wanted to say, and he wanted to say that he would become the second Cardosh.

There is a reason why Senafis said this Xi Yuyou, Xi Yuyou can be said to be a rising star in Boris, so far except for one time Boris deliberately cut off logistics, Xi Yuyou has not lost the war, and when attacking the Fentina Passage, Xi Yuyou is the first to enter Polis City under a lot of hardships, whether it is the difficulties of Pokang or Boris.

It was precisely because of Xi Yuyou's bravery and good fighting that Senafis almost called his brother by Cardos, the founder of the Ferma Dynasty, but this analogy was taboo, so Senafis changed his words in time (Cardohe was the first general of Boris in the past, and then overthrew the Republic with military merits and established the Ferma Dynasty that continues to this day), and called Xi Yuyou with another less sensitive ancient Boris general, Napolika.

"So you're going to join me on the Fintina Passage? Be careful, Boris has already drawn a lot of troops out of the area. ”

Senafis laughed: "They also made you the deputy commander of the Fintina front, right? The 39-year-old deputy commander of the secondary front? If you don't count the royal family, this is the second youngest deputy commander of our Boris since the Bourbon Naval War, and the first youngest one can only take office by marrying a princess, and our Chaanli family is just a small family born from Chris, unprecedented!"

"So, I'm afraid they want me to fail," Xi Yuyou's face flashed with a hint of gloom, and he said with a lament, "This appointment is too abnormal, I'm a little worried." ”

Senafis patted Xi Yuyou on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, wasn't Kadoxu also ordered to be in danger back then, and no one was optimistic about his appointment?

"Be cautious," Xi Yuyou interrupted Senafis's encouragement, his face cloudy.
