Chapter 454: Entering the Port

If the Battle of Crocodile Bay, which took place two days earlier, was the worst defeat in the history of the Imperial Navy, then it was only two days later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This record will be rewritten when veterans who survived this terrible naval battle will tell people about it years later.

His pupils would unconsciously dilate, and his withered arms would reveal dense scars, which were from the fear in his heart.

The invincible Imperial Navy was besieged by tens of thousands of ferocious sea beasts, and more than half of its ships were severely damaged and sunk into the sea.

The other half, unable to care about the lives of their companions, fled the blood-stained sea in a shocking panic.

It was a day of shame for the Imperial Navy and a nightmare that the veterans would have lingered for the rest of their lives, and the Admiralty Chancellor Camp was killed in battle.

The commander of the Fourth Fleet, Hope, was killed, the commander of the Sixth Fleet, Barland, was killed, and more than 2,000 outstanding sailors were killed.

Even though more than forty ships fled back to Egret Harbor in disarray, they were blocked by another twenty warships on the way.

These are the Far Eastern warships that have been ambushed in this area for a long time, and although the Imperial Navy still has the advantage in numbers, they have been fighting all night.

In addition, the commander had already lost his life, his morale was broken, and his fighting spirit was completely lost, so he symbolically resisted, and after leaving ten more warships, he continued to retreat.

The entire East China Sea Fleet completely collapsed, they had never suffered a blow of this magnitude, what the hell was going on, it was only a few days.

The Eastern Sea Fleet of the Imperial Empire was beaten like this, and even if the Federation Navy of the Dmork Federation was allowed to go on an expedition, it would not lose to the point of losing this.

But the nightmare of the Imperial Navy was not yet over, and the remaining thirty badly damaged warships returned to Egret Harbor with tired soldiers.

However, it was found that at this time, the Golden Lion Battle Flag of the Empire was no longer hanging in Egret Harbor, but the black Teng Snake Battle Flag of the Far East.

Someone took advantage of the East China Sea Fleet expedition in the harbor and launched an attack on the harbor when it was empty, and the citizens of Egret Harbor also assisted the invaders.

They took control of the port in the shortest possible time and at the lowest cost, changed their flags, and saw that the Imperial Navy of the Teng Snake Battle Banner was simply desperate!

Under such circumstances, they were unable to cope with the battle, and the Imperial Navy, exhausted physically and mentally under the attack from both sides, and the ships were on the verge of collapse, announced their surrender.

The Far Eastern Fleet was stationed in Egret Harbor, and the citizens of Egret Harbor cheered and welcomed in the middle of the road, compared to the Imperial soldiers who did not give money for food.

They obviously prefer Far Eastern soldiers who are generous, and Miss Wendy of the Rose family has a marriage contract with Lord Lin Ye, Duke of the Far East.

"Welcome to patronize, it's really refreshing for you to give money, hahahaha, is the salary of a soldier in the Far East so high, and the treatment so good?"

"They are so different from the arrogant guys of the Empire that I want to go to the Far East to become a soldier. ”

"Come on, you're fifty years old, who wants to be a soldier? Or honestly sell wine for business, and say that our wine is still bought from the Far East. ”

Egret Harbor, which had been dead for a long time, became active again, and citizens walked back and forth on the streets with peace of mind.

The sailors of the Far East, who had just won the battle, had been adrift on the sea for several days, having just won the battle.

The Duke had given them a holiday, and they could hardly relax, and the young lady whispered to these equally young Far Eastern sailors.

The sailors whistled at the pretty girl, causing a burst of laughter, and of course even if they saw the right eye, they did not dare not go home at night.

There are gendarmes roaming the streets, ready to arrest these sailors who do not obey military orders, not only the military orders are very strict, they themselves are also full of a sense of honor as Far Eastern soldiers, everyone is praising them Far Eastern soldiers more well-behaved than Imperial soldiers, and they are embarrassed to smash this signboard, right?

In the Governor's Mansion in Egret Harbor, the Empire's Golden Lion Battle Banner was thrown to a corner of a nearby alley early, dim and no longer bright.

Although the Far East belongs to the empire on the map, the title of Duke of the Far East is indeed the canonization of the emperor of the empire.

But this has to be traced back to the time of the first Emperor Raymond, and everyone in the entire empire knows that the royal capital has never helped the development of the Far East.

Moreover, after the events in the royal capital, the Far East and the king have formed a mortal enmity, and it is simply a joke to make the Far East respect the empire.

A man dressed as a richly dressed merchant came out of the governor's palace, and they were talking and laughing and were full of energy.

But a few days ago, Camp tried his best, but he couldn't invite these bigwigs of the local chamber of commerce, and the dogs couldn't get sick.

"Look, isn't that Master Sanodi? Didn't his butler say he had a foot disease a while ago? Why do you see that he walks with the wind now?"

"Isn't it the same with Lord Nokan? I heard before that he is very sick and about to die, and you see that he is looking so good now. ”

"Don't they know if they are pretending to be sick? The empire is now short of money, looting everywhere, where do they dare to do business with the empire, and the Far East is now very rich, and the merchants are scrambling to find a relationship with the Kanto region, and now that the Duke himself has come here, of course these old men have recovered. ”

Clear-sighted citizens have debunked the tricks of these chamber of commerce bigwigs, for whom the Far East is definitely a better choice than the Empire.

"Duke Lin Ye is really generous, as soon as he opens his golden mouth so much, in the next few years, our Chamber of Commerce will be able to make a lot of money. ”

"Who said it wasn't, it was extremely difficult to get on the line with Lord Van before, but I didn't expect to be able to see Lord Duke with my own eyes this time, I'm really lucky!"

"Those guys in the empire know that they want to take money out of our pockets, it's really hateful, it's better to do business with Lord Lin Ye. ”

These chamber of commerce bigwigs were red-faced, and after boarding the carriage, they quickly left, returning to their respective chambers of commerce to start the matter of setting sail for the merchant ships.

Due to the blockade of the port by the Empire, the goods of the Egret Harbor have piled up, and they urgently need to resume trade, otherwise every day of delay will be a loss, and there is nothing more important for the merchants than to make money, and the current situation has become confusing with the addition of third parties.

If the Rose family were alone, most people were not optimistic that they would be able to withstand the attack of the Imperial Army.

But now that the Far East Fleet has landed in Egret Harbor, once they go south, they will inevitably form a flank with the Rose family to attack the Imperial Army.

It's hard to say who will have the last laugh who will die next, and the strategic significance of the Far East Fleet's southward movement is more than that.

Although the Rose family has retreated step by step, the main force of the Rose Legion still exists, and it still has the strong military strength of thirty legions.

Once the tide of the war is unfavorable to the Imperial Army, the Empire, which had already experienced a civil war and was very weak, was bound to suffer heavy losses again.

At that time, if the Duke of the Far East has any ideas, the forces of the Far East and the Rose will march north and west towards the royal capital.

The situation in the world is bound to change in shocking ways!
