Chapter 233: A Precarious Alliance

"There are so many things that you knightly rules dictate, and none of them tell you not to break the windows of other people's houses?" Luca's voice was full of grief. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A few days after the lord's residence was repaired from the damage of the explosion, he was hit by a stone on the window again, which made him quite helpless.

In fact, the defense of this station is not lax, if you want to throw stones from the back streets, it is impossible to do it without amazing wrist strength, even in Luca's team, only Ollie and Daniel have this ability.

On his own territory, it is not every day that such a former knight lord visits. Thinking of this, Lukka still gave up his plan to strengthen the security of the garrison to another level, after all, as the only third-party power lord who can affect the war situation in the Sunset Islands now, he still has a lot to pay attention to.

Luca temporarily settled Mores in the garrison and began to prepare for the war. Although the current situation is still uncertain, one thing is certain, if he does not plan ahead, the original balancing strategy may be difficult to achieve.

Soon, reports from all over the country came in one after another.

The battle report delivered by Sunset Express was several days later than the first-hand information brought by Haken, but it was more detailed.

Lukka's brow tightened each time he read a battle report written on parchment. He was still relatively calm, and when he handed the battle report to Mores for circulation, the exclamations and lamentations of the former knight lord almost shattered a few more pieces of the freshly changed glass on the study window.

The Knights of the Sea are not just about falling to the Brohn Empire in battle.

They quickly took control of several islands around Leighton Island, which were in the heartland of the June Alliance, and were the top priority in providing reserve supplies.

And in the battle at this stage, the Brohn Empire already had the upper hand.

The little bit of harassment that Lukka sent out had become insignificant after the Knights of the Sea joined the fray.

However, this was only the beginning, and now the latest battle report in his hand said that after the arrival of the Imperial Navy and the transfer of the controllers of those islands, the Knights divided into many teams of three or four people, and went to the main fleets of the Imperial Navy to assist them in the battle.

You know, the Sea Knight is not an ordinary soldier, although it seems that the combat power in front of Luka and them is not worth mentioning, but if the ordinary navy is against each other in battle, the advantage brought by the heavy armor that is not sinkable in the water is not ordinary. Three or four sea knights can completely guarantee that the Imperial Navy will never lose in ordinary broadside battles.

"This former subordinate of yours is called ......" Lukka took another closer look at the name on the battle report, "Ander Blair's one seems to be moving very fast." ”

Mores put the finished battle report back on the table, thought for a moment and said: "In such a short period of time, he can do so many things, probably not from this oracle incident, I suspect that he has been secretly planning this matter since he became my deputy two years ago." ”

"You don't see it at all?" In Luca's impression, Mores was not a careless person.

Mores laughed embarrassedly: "This is really my mistake, in fact, I have long known that he does not approve of many of my practices, but you also know, the sea knight, there are laws and constraints, I didn't think that there would be such a thing at that time." ”

"Taylor's life isn't going to be easy right now. Luca was saying this too lightly.

Of the islands that the Knights had taken over in June, Layton Island was the main supply point for fresh water and food, the other few were even more fatal.

The two islands to the north produce more than 60% of the Alliance's saltpeter, which is an important material for making gunpowder.

The four or five islands to the west are rich in tall trees. In normal times, these islands may seem inconspicuous, after all, timber is not a high-value commodity such as gold, silver and jewelry, but after the battle began, more and more warships needed to be built and repaired, and timber almost became another lifeline of the June Alliance.

If this first round of reports only showed the precarious situation of the June Alliance, then the subsequent reports, each piece of parchment, pushed Taylor in a desperate direction.

The Storm Temple joins the fray, and it's nothing unexpected. But the fact that the Storm Temple's envoys and the Sea Knights are in the same fleet makes things even more out of control.

The report delivered on the third day made Mores completely unable to sit still.

The Admiral of the Brohn Empire, Jonathan Max, joined up with the Imperial Prime Minister and High Priest of the Storm Temple, Ian Hale, and the new Lord of the Knights of the Seas, Ander Blair, to lead an elite fleet to the vicinity of Maple Song Island.

"Are they going to do a 'decapitation operation?'" Lukka was also a little surprised.

Such an action is inevitably too anxious.

It stands to reason that the Brohn Empire is in a good situation right now, and even time is now on their side. The vicinity of the two islands of Fengge in the north and south was the most heavily defended location of the June Alliance, and it was not the best choice to attack there directly.

"Is this admiral an important person, and this elite fleet, and their first and second fleets, are they not the same system?" Lukka didn't seem to have seen this name in previous battle reports.

Mores explains:

"The navy of the Bronne Empire has only one marshal, who is the nominal supreme commander, but this position has always been held by their emperor Carlyle IV, so the actual command of the navy is in the hands of those admirals under him. ”

"This Max is the one in first place. It can be said that he was the de facto supreme commander of the Imperial Navy. ”

"I haven't dealt with the elite fleet either, it is said to be the most elite of the entire Imperial Navy, and it hardly shows up in normal times, which is quite mysterious. ”

"Regardless of whether their strategy is the best or not, one thing is certain now, this time, the Imperial Navy should be going for Taylor himself, Captain Lester, you can't continue to watch now, right?"

Even if Luca still had a vague sense that something was wrong, at least Mores was right: he couldn't afford to sit on the sidelines.

If he doesn't make another move, the "balance" strategy that Lukka has been trying to achieve will completely fail, and the future of Tata and the pirate group will become less optimistic.

"Let's come over and we'll talk about how to deal with it. Lukka called his servant and handed over a list that had been written last night, "Not only my crew, but all the people on this list, just send a letter to all the people on the island, and let them come here early tomorrow morning." ”
