On the night of June 3, 118, the remaining more than 100 warships in Tatsusu Castle formed a crusade force and flew away from Sky City overnight, all the way to the north of the war zone, to pursue Rocky's fleet.

On the morning of June 4, 118, the pursuing force rushed to the grove where Lodge and others had been ambushed, and after some searching, they found the wreckage of two reconnaissance ships not far away, but found no trace of the enemy.

The commander of the pursuing force then gave the order, and instead of ordering the fleet to return, he ordered the fleet to turn around and begin to advance to the south of the theater of operations.

The commander of the pursuing force is named Sapoa, and he is also one of the generals of Tatsusu City, and his ability and reputation are even above that of Lapalton!

According to Sapoya's judgment, it is obvious that the enemy must have abandoned the ambush and retreated immediately after being discovered by the reconnaissance ship, but where did the enemy flee?

There was no clue to this, and when Sapoa led the pursuing force to the airspace where the grove was located, nothing was found except the wreckage of two reconnaissance ships, and there were no clues that could help him point out the enemy's whereabouts.

But there are no clues, but Sapoa can use his experience to make judgments!

Standing in front of the huge sand table in the captain's room, Sapoa looked down at the sand table of the entire war zone, surrounded by a group of lieutenants.

In the eyes of the adjutants, he casually picked up a small flag and planted it on the sand table.

"This is where we are now. ”

Planting the small flag on the sand table, Sapoya seemed to be talking to the adjutants, and as if he was talking to himself.

This is his habit, and the adjutants around him have long been used to it, so no one answered, and they all listened quietly.

Then, Sapoa took out another small flag and planted it on the top of the grove: "This is the direction in which the blue sky caravan enters the war zone, if the enemy retreats in this direction, it won't take long to meet the caravan, so they will continue to be exposed, so if I am the commander of the enemy army, I will not choose to go north." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the left side of the grove: "This is the direction we came from, that is, the direction where Tatsusu City is located, and it is impossible for the enemy to withdraw in this direction, otherwise it is likely to meet us directly." ”

"Neither the north nor the west will go, so the enemy will have to retreat in both directions to the southeast. ”

In just a few words, Sapoa relied on his extremely rich strategic experience and extremely accurate judgment to reduce the possible evacuation path of Rocky and others by half.

He then continued: "If the enemy retreats to the east, then he will leave the war zone completely, and perhaps the enemy's Sky City and the response will be in the east, so that the enemy will completely flee......

"But it's good if the enemy escapes like this, and we won't have to go through so much trouble, won't we? ”

As he spoke, Sapoya turned his head to look at the adjutants beside him, and laughed twice: "So don't chase after the east, if the enemy escapes, then let them go." ”

"We're going to the south. ”

After laughing twice, Sapoya's expression became serious: "If the enemy flees south, although he can also leave the war zone, if he turns around halfway, he can give us a return rifle, and I will never allow this kind of thing to happen." ”

After saying this, Sapoya turned to look at the adjutants: "Pass my order and let the fleet move south!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

At his command, all the lieutenants in the room stood upright, saluted Sapoa, and then walked out, and then the pursuing force of more than a hundred warships turned around and began to move south.

On June 3, 118 A.D., Rocky's troops were discovered by a reconnaissance ship sent by Tatsujuku Castle, revealing their whereabouts.

On June 4, 118 A.D., Sapoa led the pursuing force to the target area, and after discovering that the enemy had already withdrawn, he began to continue his southward advance.

But from this day on, Tatsusu City once again lost the news of Rocky and others, and although the pursuing troops led by Sapoa have been chasing as much as possible, they have never found any trace of Rocky and others.

In this way, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In three days, the pursuing force led by Sapoa flew almost all over the rear of the war zone, but they found nothing all the way, and they did not find the shadow of Rocky and others at all.

Of course, from this day on, the caravans coming and going to Tatsujuku Castle have not been attacked again.

In the eyes of Chensu City, this obviously shows that their measures have been effective, while sending a large number of reconnaissance ships to conduct a carpet search, they also sent a huge pursuit force to encircle and suppress, the enemy obviously does not dare to take any more action, and has even been scared away!

However, although Rocky and the others have not been traced since then, Goth has not been reassured by this, after all, the enemy is just gone, it does not mean that it has been eliminated, and God knows if it will suddenly come back one day.

In order not to repeat this attack, when three days had passed, instead of withdrawing the pursuing force led by Sapoa, Goth sent a second pursuing force!

In the past three days, including the Blue Sky Chamber of Commerce, four caravans have successfully arrived in Chensu City, which not only means that four batches of goods have been successfully delivered to the city, but also means that four escort fleets have returned!

When the escort ships sent out returned one after another, the Goths immediately reorganized the fleet under their command, drawing ten warships from each escort fleet, and then sent three more air demon squads to form a second pursuit force.

This is the essence of the large sky city, although when the attack just happened, the goths were caught off guard, resulting in the deployment of all aspects was not smooth, but Chensu City is a large sky city after all, the strength and heritage are there, as long as some time is given, it doesn't even take a lot of time, the goths can immediately set up a powerful pursuit force to carry out all-round encirclement and suppression of the enemy!

That's the way it is!

At this time, the two pursuit forces sent out in succession were conducting this search in a large area of airspace, trying not to create any possibility of slipping through the net, and as long as the enemy was still hiding in the war zone, they would find out and destroy him!

At the same time, the reinforcements drawn back from the front line also arrived in the airspace where Tatsusu Castle is located!

Previously, due to the tension of the troops, and the enemy was really fierce, the Goths had to move forward and apply for reinforcements, so that it was best to drop two medium-sized sky cities on the front line to ensure the safety of the supply line.

Now, the troops that have been transferred back from the front to ensure the safety of the supply lines have finally arrived.

And in this way, the troops in the hands of the Goths were completely rich, so they immediately launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression!
