In the half hour he was waiting, Demps received a report on the battle report of the First Fleet on the flank battlefield of the orc fleet, and he only frowned slightly at Lieutenant Colonel Kelly's poor performance, and did not express any opinion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

His primary concern was obviously not a command error on the battlefield on the part of one of his subordinates, and he used his high-powered lookout glasses to carefully search for traces of enemy troops in the direction where the orc fleet might appear.

"Colonel, we've been able to see the orc fleet!" the first mate, Lieutenant Colonel Ender, suddenly shouted loudly to the side, to remind his superior.

When Demps heard this, he reflexively put down his lookout and looked in the direction of his first mate's finger, only to see that on the clear blue sea, several warships fluttering the battle flags of the orc clan were marching bravely in the waves.

Under the dazzling rays of the summer sun, the first few orc warships to appear loom like phantoms, and it was very uncomfortable to look at them, and the longer they looked at them, the more they felt like hallucinations.

But Colonel Demps knew that he was not dazzled.

"Order all the ballista squads in the fleet, prepare the oil and wind the crossbow arrows!" Colonel Demps kept his gaze fixed on the orc fleet in the distance.

Immediately, he picked up his lookout and observed the battle between his two flanks and the orc fleet, but at this time, because of the distance, he could no longer see the shadow of his own fleet.

But fortunately, because of the loss that Lieutenant Colonel Kelly had just suffered, the attack of the two fleets became more cautious, and after a few rounds of confrontation, the two commanders had already figured out that the orc fleet could accurately hit their own range.

Now that this naval battle has been underway, the tactical layout of the commanders of both sides has been considered a clear card, and they both know what the opposing commanders will take in the next battle.

The commander of the orc fleet was very uncomfortable right now, and he actually wanted to order the fleet to stop and engage the two human fleets on the flank.

But reason told him that if he did, nearly half of his fleet would be surrounded by human navies. Even if the ships in front were able to turn around in time to support, their casualties would be enormous.

Moreover, after Major Leon's accurate calculations, if the orc fleet reverses course now, they can only sail against the wind, and the orc commander knows some knowledge of naval warfare, and he knows what kind of disaster it will bring to the fleet if he sails against the wind in front of the human navy.

At this time, the orc fleet could only engage the navy of Seca City while maintaining a relative sailing speed, so that they could have a chance to break out of the reverse encirclement that Colonel Demps had spent several hours constructing.

Therefore, the first and second fleets, with the guarantee of superior speed and superior range, put a lot of pressure on the orc fleet on the edge of the flank...

The time on the battlefield always feels slow when you want to be fast, and flies by when you want to be slow.

When the observer told Colonel Demps that the orc fleet was within range of the crossbow arrows of the ships ahead, Demps felt as if many years had passed.

"Do you want to give them an order to attack immediately?" suggested Lieutenant Colonel Ender.

"Don't worry..."Demps frowned, only to hear Colonel Demps say to the herald next to him: "Let the ships in front slow down, try to keep up with the speed of the orc fleet, and wait for the arrival of the rear fleet!"

Demps said this, glanced at Ender, then shook his head imperceptibly, and said: "Let the first squad to the fifth squad form the first group of attack formations, and the commander will temporarily let the leader of the first squad, Major Barandall, be the leader, and tell them clearly that without strong fire support, not a single warship is allowed to attack without strong fire support!"

"Colonel..."Ander's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but take a step forward slightly with his right foot, he didn't understand that the commander of this attack fleet, Colonel Temple, actually didn't choose him.

Demps didn't seem to hear Ender's shout, he didn't even look at Ender, he continued: "Order the first and second fleets to attack the flanks of the orc fleet with all their might, and stop the orc fleet at all costs to engage us, at least, let them separate a part of their forces to fight us head-on!"

After a pause, Colonel Demps asked, "The rear fleet should have gotten rid of the pursuit of the orcs!"

"Don't worry, Colonel!" Major Leon said confidently, "At this time, the orc lookouts can't even see the shadow of our fleet in the lookout glasses!"

After thinking about it, the major said as if jokingly: "Perhaps, it would be wiser for them to turn the bow of the ship to observe who they are pursuing!"

Hearing this, Demps smiled slightly.

The order of Colonel Demps, the commander of the navy in Seka City, was quickly conveyed to officers at all levels of the navy, and the situation of the battle, which seemed to maintain a certain balance, changed again.

The first to act was the first and second flanking flotilla, and after receiving the colonel's order, the two flotillas covered each other, effectively avoiding the long-range strike force of the orc flank, and charging towards the flank of the orcs.

This time, the two flanks were all the ships that charged together, and if the orcs still ignored the two flotillas and continued to move forward, then the ships on their flanks would be very dangerous.

The battlefield was constantly changing, and the orc commander was clearly still hesitating, and his goblin deputy kept asking for advice on the sidelines, which upset the commander.

Ten minutes later, the attack group of Colonel Demps's main flotilla, which was in front, was ready.

With Colonel Demps' approval, the overwhelming array of crossbow arrows flew like locusts in a wheat field, and the black pressure was nailed to the side of the fleet behind the orcs.

In just an instant, hundreds of orc warriors were nailed to the ship's plank, and this scene was exactly the same as the orc fleet nailed human sailors with crossbow arrows more than forty minutes ago.

At the same time, the two fleets responsible for attacking the orc flanks were already approaching the orc warships.

It was also at this time that the commander of the orc fleet finally gave the order, and he ordered nearly 100 warships in the rear and flanks to stop and engage the human navy.

And he himself, with his intention to lead the remaining warships into the rear of the human fleet from the side.

This was a wise decision, but only if the orc fleet had enough time.

The orc commander was obviously too slow to make a decision, he didn't have much time left for his flanking ships, and soon, the first and second fleets charged at the forefront of the rushing ships, accurately hitting the weak parts of the side of more than a dozen orc warships, and in just a few moments, several orc warships sank directly.

The battlefield commander on the flank of the orc fleet was clearly inexperienced in dealing with such incidents, and his inability to allow many ships of the orc fleet to collide with each other on their own.

While the orc warriors were panicking, the human sailors had boarded their ships.

The most brutal broadside battle officially began.
