Chapter 51: Outwitting Warfare
"Lord Alfred, since you are still alive, why didn't you send a message for help when you were attacked!" Although Gerhardt's mouth was scolding, his face was full of smiles.
"Hehe, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Hedram happily patted Xu Mo's shoulder, "This is ......"
"This is the corpse of the monster that attacked us." Xu Mo pointed to the corpse of the kraken he brought back and said, "A lot of things happened last night......
Originally, the two of them didn't think about bringing back the body of the Siren, but Xu Mo felt that bringing back the body of the Siren would help improve the morale of all the personnel of the battleship, so he and Dinah dragged a body of the Siren back.
……
"Hooray!" After Xu Mo and the four returned to the Vestelos, the entire battleship began to boil, and the two skinned kraken corpses were surrounded by curious sailors.
"Tsk, look at these claws and teeth, listen to Captain Alfred, this monster also emits hypnotic soundwaves, fortunately the captain himself took action! Well, I'll just say that the captain will be fine! Frieza fiddled with the Siren's corpse with his scimitar and said triumphantly, as if he had a part in killing the Siren.
"Good luck for that bastard, it's ...... The corpse of a legendary creature! Selena watched in shock as the message from the soul sigil came.
"No wonder he had the confidence to face the two of us that night." Ahan muttered to himself, "Selena, listen to me, don't go against Lord Alfred anymore, you look at Pastor Dinah's appearance now, it's clear that she also got a lot of benefits from Alfred's side last night. It's a pity, if there is only one lookout platform, follow him, we can all benefit! ”
"...... Ahan" Selena took a deep breath, swallowed the anger in her heart, and turned to leave. If she stays any longer, Selena is afraid that she will lose control and add a new rift to the relationship between the two. She is fundamentally different from Ahan, and even if someone is indeed better than her, she will only try harder to surpass it, rather than choose to become that person's subordinate.
……
"Admiral, the ship's fresh water has been replenished, and we can set sail!" In the afternoon, Manuel came to the captain's room to report.
"Your Excellency, I actually have an idea, maybe we don't have to chase the Hell God anymore!" Xu Mo's eyes flashed and he said lightly.
"Oh? Tell me about it! Hedram was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Before coming to Jan Mayen Island, the voyage officers on both sides should be able to calculate the difference in range between us and the Hell God!" Xu Mo groaned.
"Yes, even if there are some errors, it won't be too much, and it's not surprising that Clifford is also an experienced navigator!" Gerhardt said as he spoke.
"Then if it were Admiral Hedram and His Excellency Gerhardt, would you two give up such a good ambush location because of the loss of a few lookouts!" Xu Mo said with a smile.
"If it affects the morale of the battleship too much, we will also give up here, after all, even if there is a head-to-head battle, the Hell God still has an advantage in artillery battles, but ......" Hudram said halfway, suddenly frowning.
"However, I will definitely leave behind, and I will not completely abandon the plan of the raid!" Gerhardt's eyes lit up, and he was connected again.
"Yes, if I were Clifford, even if the lookout post didn't work and the ambush plan failed, then it would certainly take advantage of that in reverse! The failure of the lookout post was the same for both sides, which made the side that stayed on Jan Mayen Island more vulnerable to surprise attacks. Hedlam's eyes lit up and he said categorically, "Clifford is in the nearby waters not far from Jan Mayen!" ”
"Well, the volcano's lookout platform is dangerous, but the rest of the island is not dangerous. Clifford must know this, which is why he left Captain Bbright on the island and used him to relay the false course of the Hell God, so I am afraid that there are still Clifford's left-behind personnel on the island. Gerhardt said with a frown.
"Under normal circumstances, after two lookout incidents, it is unlikely that we will continue to keep people on the lookout platform, and we will only withdraw from Jan Mayen Island like Clifford. So in terms of time, tonight is the best time for Clifford to counterattack, even if we have set sail, only a few hours apart, he can use the speed of the Hell God to follow us through the course report of the people left behind" Hedram tapped his finger on the chart.
"But he must not have imagined that our valiant stormtrooper had already addressed the dangers lurking at the lookout platform, and in that case......" Hedram and the other two looked at each other, both seeing a flame of excitement in their eyes.
……
"BOSS, ARE YOU SURE CLIFFORD IS COMING?" Dinah played with her white hair with her fingers.
"Clifford and Hedram are both among the best admirals of our time, and their understanding of naval tactics is not much different, and since Hedram agrees with me, then I think Clifford will come." Xu Mo said lightly.
"BOSS, why don't you arrange Selena to go to the lookout post on the island, in this case, there will be a gap between her and Ahan's income in this naval battle, and I am afraid that they will not be able to form a large team!" Dinah rolled her eyes and made a suggestion.
"No, there must be reincarnations on Clifford's ship, and England is a sea power, and there may be more reincarnators assigned than on our side, we need the strength of that woman." Xu Mo shook his head and said.
"In that case, we can only count on Selena to take that step!" Dinah frowned.
"With the strong character she shows, she will definitely take that step, so you must ......," Xu Mo said softly.
……
"I didn't expect Benjamin, who served as a lookout, to disappear, I guess he should be dead, what is there on the lookout platform on that island!" The tall and thin Zenit said leisurely.
"Isn't it your pleasure to kill a competitor, Zenit Cadet!" Gegor sneered.
"Hehe, don't say that, Gegor, I'm just a little bit more lucky when I attacked that armed sailboat!" Zenit smirked.
"Zenit, don't get too complacent, as soon as Benjamin dies, the Hell God will be left with only two of us reincarnators, and the last time I was killed by a round of shotgun from the Vistellos, many deck sailors were killed. In the night attack, the broadside battle was only afraid that we would not have the advantage. Gegor said worriedly.
"Hmph, what can we think of, Admiral Clifford wouldn't have thought of? To tell the truth, this admiral is indeed remarkable, this naval battle from the pursuit of the Vestelos, to the ambush plan on Jan Mayen Island, and now to the return of the horse gun, is really a pleasing tactical performance! Zenit exclaimed, "If Clifford were a reincarnation, I would absolutely rather follow him!" ”
"Indeed, with such an endless stream of excellent admirals, it is no wonder that England has been able to take what it needs on the seas of modern times." Gegor was silent for a moment, rarely agreeing with Zenit's view.
"Hey, look at the black line on the sea, it should be the coastline of Jan Mayen Island, go and ring the alarm bell and inform Admiral Clifford ......" Zenit was suddenly startled and pointed to the sea in the distance.
……
"Your Excellency, as you might expect, the guards on the hill at the southwestern end of Jan Mayen Island have sent us a light signal (oil lamp), and there is no fire in the direction of the volcanic lookout on Jan Mayen Island tonight, and it seems that Hedram has just removed the lookout post. The Vestelos also stayed on Jan Mayen, a ...... on the northeastern tip of Jan Mayen Over here! An officer aboard the Hell God said, pointing to the charts.
"Inform the whole ship's sailors, turn off the lights, silence them, and prepare for battle!" A blush flashed across Clifford's face, and there was a hint of excitement in his calm words, "Go around the back of the northeastern tip of Jan Mayen, and let's surprise His Excellency Admiral Hedlam!" ”
