Section 7

At about two o'clock in the afternoon of April 15, while Colonel Demps was enjoying a late lunch, a sailor suddenly came to report: the lookouts had received information from the 1st and 2nd fleets, and they had arrived at the designated place according to the order!

When the Colonel heard the news, he quickly glanced at the magic clock hanging on the wall, then threw down his cold lunch, and walked out of the cabin as fast as he could, towards Major Leon's location. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Major, how much more time will it take for our ships at the front to catch up with the orc fleet?" Demps immediately asked the most important question he wanted to know now when he saw Leon.

"It will take an hour at the earliest, and it will only be necessary if the wind is always in our favor!" Major Leon had already known this, and replied very simply.

Demps raised an eyebrow, and after a moment of silence, he said to the herald beside him, "Let the first and second fleets immediately attack the orc fleet before flanking, and let them be sure to slow down the orc fleet." ā€

With that, the colonel turned to Leon and continued: "Now, the speed of the enemy fleet will be even slower, and you only have half an hour!"

His tone was unmistakable, this was a military order, no longer an inquiry.

"Understood!"

......

Colonel Demps's order was quickly conveyed to the command ships of the First and Second Fleets, and five minutes later, the two fleets were turning around at various orders from naval officers and charging at the flanks of the orc fleet at an angle of forty-five degrees.

The second meeting between the Seca City Navy and the Orc Expedition in the Camila Islands has officially begun.

As with previous tactics, the Seka City Navy initially dispatched fast rushing ships, and the commanders of the two fleets wanted to attack the flanks of the orc fleet with an absolute superior speed.

This time, there are as many as 30 rushing ships in the two fleets combined, and if they can really hit the flank of the orc fleet, they can even directly cut the orc fleet into two pieces, so that they can't connect head to tail.

In this way, they can form an encirclement with the main fleet that is coming from behind, and sink the ships behind the orcs in the shortest possible time.

However, this is only the most desirable result.

But the reality is that the 30 rushing troops are not commanded by one person.

Lieutenant Commander Kelly, who led the First Fleet, had won the first encounter with the Orcs a few hours earlier, which made him and his sailors somewhat weak.

Lieutenant Colonel Kelly's ship's Rushing Pioneer Team obviously rushed too far forward, and did not let the ballista team fire crossbow arrows as soon as the enemy entered the ballista firing range.

As the commander of a fleet, Lieutenant Colonel Kelly knew that the squad's mind was nothing more than to take advantage of the orc's lack of experience in naval warfare to get closer and shoot the most effectively.

Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Kelly only frowned slightly, and did not give the order to stop the dangerous behavior of this squad leader.

"Damn, what are those guys in the 1st Fleet thinking?" cursed Lieutenant Colonel Rich, the commander of the 2nd Fleet, his fleet belonged to the Rapid Reaction Force, there were more rushers, and his 20 rushers were clearly thrown away by Lieutenant Colonel Kelly's 10 rushers.

Rich didn't like Lieutenant Commander Kelly, a civilian promoted naval officer, but he knew that he had to order his vanguard team to speed up, or else disaster awaited them.

But before his order was given, there was an accident ahead.

This time, Lieutenant Colonel Kelly's estimate was once again proved wrong, and he apparently had not really understood that a large-scale naval battle between nations and a naval battle between pirates were completely different things.

By the time Lieutenant Colonel Kelly's rushing squad roared sea songs and sailed in what the sailors considered to be the most heroic, death had already quietly descended.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Rows of crossbow bolts rose from the orc fleet without warning, with a piercing sound of breaking through the air.

The commander of this orc fleet was very intelligent, he knew his shortcomings, but he used the advantage of numbers to compensate for his shortcomings.

When the bolts fell on the 10 rushing ships, the human naval officers and sailors didn't even know what was going on. They were about to laugh at the orc's shooting skills again, only to find that they couldn't laugh at all.

The dense bolts obscured the sight of the human sailors like dark clouds, and they only heard a burst of sound breaking through the air, followed by darkness in front of them, and many soldiers were nailed to the deck by arm-thick crossbow arrows before they even had time to fear.

It all happened in the light of lightning, and the orc fleet's crossbow bolts were apparently loaded in advance, like predators waiting for their prey to take the bait.

The rushing squad, which had beaten the orc reconnaissance team a few hours earlier, was nailed into a hedgehog by a crossbow arrow in the blink of an eye in this encounter.

The leader of the rushing squad who was eager to make meritorious service had been nailed to the mast of his own ship, and he even had a smile on his face, perhaps he was fantasizing about the reward he would receive after this meritorious service.

The surviving human sailors were at a loss, instinctive fear causing them to shrink back and shiver in the corners they thought were safe.

But the orc's attack did not stop, and only a second later, more arrows of the orcs with a little bit of fire like meteors falling from the sky, crossed a graceful arc, and fell towards the 10 rushing ships that were already crumbling on the sea.

A little fire lit up near the rushing boat, with a pungent smell, and if no one rescued them, the fate of all the sailors on the 10 rushing ships was already sealed.

"Damn, it's a death left and right, and killing one more green-skinned beast is earning!"

I don't know who shouted like this, and following his shout, a rushing ship also stabilized its speed, with a little fire and smoke, and rushed towards the flank of the orc fleet at the fastest speed.

Immediately afterward, as if in response to this rushing ship, the three nearby rushing ships also charged at the most advantageous speed.

But the other six rushing boats did not move, they let the waves roll and drift around, and let the sparks on the ship burn slowly.

"Kelly, that idiot, you want to take credit and go crazy!" sneered young Lieutenant Colonel Rich, a lieutenant commander from a naval family in Seka City, who had always looked down on Kelly who had been promoted from an ordinary sailor.

"Lieutenant Colonel Richie, now is our chance, the orc fleet is already within the firing range of our bed crossbows, and it will be a few minutes before they want to reload, and even if they shoot again, the first consideration should be the three rushing ships that charge at the front!"

Richie's lieutenant reminded.

Lieutenant Colonel Rich glanced at his assistant, he didn't like this assistant of his, because the other party was too cold-blooded, although he didn't like Kelly, it was just his personal disgust.

Richie was a real soldier, and he stared through the lookout glass at the sailors in the sea crashing on the sea in the distance, sighing slightly, struggling to save them.

"Lieutenant Colonel Richie, the fighter plane is fleeting!" the deputy reminded his young boss again.

The lieutenant colonel immediately put away his sentimentality, nodded and said, "Do as you say!"

On the other hand, Lieutenant Colonel Kelly had no time to blame himself for his mistake, and his observer told him almost at the same time that his fleet was under attack that the orc fleet was within range of the bed crossbows of the rear fleet.
