Lieutenant Colonel Kelly kept his eyes fixed on the battlefield ahead, where his soldiers were fighting bloodily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a period of fighting, and supported by enemy long-range attacks, his troops have been suffering casualties.

Watching the soldiers fall one by one, Lieutenant Colonel Kelly's heart was like a knife, his hands holding the lookout glasses didn't know when they were already covered with sweat, he tore off the white navy uniform on his body, and wiped the cold sweat on his hands.

"We have no way out," said Lieutenant Colonel Kelly, "and we can't retreat either, and the Colonel has not canceled his order!"

"The Colonel has no time to give the order to retreat in such a situation!" said Lieutenant Colonel Ritchie, who hated old-fashioned people the most.

"Huh!" Lieutenant Colonel Kelly chuckled, "Lieutenant Colonel Richie, you have to understand that if we retreat, the orc fleet can completely withdraw their magic, and when the time comes, our main fleet will face twice as many enemy ships as theirs, and the initiative on the battlefield will once again return to the orcs." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Richie was stunned, "If we interfere with the orcs here, sooner or later the initiative on the battlefield will be the orcs!"

"We don't have to compete with them, we'll suffer!" Lieutenant Colonel Kelly smiled faintly, he always had a flat look in front of Lieutenant Colonel Ritchie, "We just need to get the tide of battle back to before we charged, just like at the beginning, using the speed advantage of our ships, and the range advantage of our crossbow arrows, we should be able to hold out for a long time." ”

"And what if the orc fleet chooses not to entangle with us?" asked Richie.

"This—" Lieutenant Colonel Kelly was about to speak, but he didn't, the confident expression on his face was stunned, and his eyebrows tightened, as if he was struggling with something.

That's his shortcoming, he's always hesitant if something is outside of his plans.

"Let's talk about that then!" Lieutenant Colonel Kelly finally said: "By that time, the colonel should have been out of trouble, and the decision he made was always the right one. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Rich smiled disdainfully, but did not retort.

"I hope so!"

He couldn't do it better.

But the direction of the battlefield is unpredictable by anyone, accidents will always happen inadvertently, or the traps of the battlefield are everywhere, and there are opportunities everywhere.

As early as when Colonel Demps was just besieged, he had already sent all the reconnaissance clippers of his main fleet, with the fleet as the center, fanning reconnaissance within 50 nautical miles.

Within half an hour, Colonel Demps received a report from the Scouting Clippers, which was terrible news.

In the rear of their fleet there are orc warships again!

Colonel Demps even thought that he had misheard something, and he immediately questioned Major Leon beside him: "Didn't you say that it is impossible for the orc fleet to catch up with us now?"

"I can't make a mistake in my calculations!" Major Leon was still sure in the face of Demps's questioning, "we should find out which fleet it is, and maybe there is another fleet!"

"Another fleet?"

Colonel Demps forcibly suppressed his irritability, although this naval battle had only lasted seven or eight hours, there had already been many accidents, and the colonel hated to have another accident.

But what happened on the battlefield could not be changed by the will of one person, and in a short time the exact information came again.

The information was unfortunately told by Major Leon that this time there was indeed another fleet behind them, and it was a fleet of eighty ships composed entirely of goblin mercenaries, each of which was fully loaded.

"Do you see a large galleon of goblins?"

Colonel Demps's heart sank, and his eyebrows couldn't help jumping wildly, but he couldn't show a nervous look, otherwise, the soldiers would be even more nervous than he was.

"Not yet!"

The observer in charge of receiving the information replied. His answer made everyone present secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Even an ordinary goblin ship is not to be underestimated, each of them is equipped with a bed crossbow that can fire repeatedly, and every soldier is equipped with a small military crossbow that fires repeatedly, and perhaps, without waiting for their ship to get closer, we will already have most of our casualties!" said Lieutenant Colonel Ender.

This is a well-known thing.

But at the moment, Colonel Demps clearly did not care about the issue.

Under this series of accidents, Colonel Demps tried his best to deal with it, but also thought about the cattiness in it.

Now, with the appearance of the goblin fleet, the doubts in his mind have become reality.

At this time, he was more concerned about why the orc expeditionary force could be arranged so completely in advance, and reversed the advantages that he had won so hard again and again.

Moreover, the fact that the other side can seem to escape to the bottom of the sea in front of its huge reconnaissance troops, and not find any trace of them before the start of the war shows the seriousness of the problem. An eyeless army can only be slaughtered by men.

To be so precise, it is impossible to do without internal straps!

Who the hell is this guilty?, Colonel Demps asked himself inwardly, his gaze scanning everyone present as his mind flashed to the many officers who had access to the core.

But the colonel couldn't be sure who it was!

Or the nobles who were on high above them, and if that was the case, Colonel Demps shook his head feebly and continued to lead his navy men to fight until they were all destroyed.

Surrender?Colonel Demps never considered it.

The Admiral of Seka City was irritated by a myriad of questions, and he was not very good at thinking about them.

"Colonel?" Second Mate Major Leon's call woke Demps from his musings.

Demps leaned sideways and let the sea breeze blow on his face to keep him awake.

He quickly swept over a group of subordinates who were waiting for him to decide, and then said, "Goblins' bed crossbows have a drawback, their range is not as long as ours, and the average speed of their ships is higher than ours..."

"But our rushing ships are faster than all their warships!"

Colonel Demps needs to stabilize the mind first, he tries to make things simple and easy to understand, and he magnifies the enemy's weaknesses.

"Order the main fleet of thirty clippers to form a special operation team, and limit the maximum range of the clippers to contain the main Goblin warships in the front!" Colonel Demps gave the order, his gaze swept imperceptibly over the faces of all the officers present.

"Now, you go back to your respective posts!" Colonel Demps dismissed everyone without waiting for the others to speak.

After the crowd had left, he turned to the herald beside him and said, "Let Major Barandal, the captain of the first detachment, come to my ship!"
