Chapter 690: Light Boat on the Sea
At this time, the fishermen of Yingge Harbor were still ignorant of everything that was happening on the sea, although they knew that war was going on in Seagull Harbor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But after all, Yingge Port is only a fishing port, and the strategic location is not prominent, and the war has not spread to Yingge Port in the past two months.
However, the port officer reminded the fishermen not to go out to sea for a short time to fish, to take a break to recuperate, and to resume work after the war was over.
Fishermen are worried, and although they will not be directly affected by the war, the inability to fish will still have an impact on their lives.
News often circulates in the village about Seagull Harbor, and after hearing that Seagull Harbor fell, fishermen frown and stay up all night.
They began to worry about what their lives would be like in the future, and it dawned on them when they heard that the Combined Fleet had been ambushed at Seagull Harbor.
Oh, it turns out that this is a deliberate means to attract them to the bait, and they all sigh that the defenders are not so useless, and they still have the strength to fight.
Especially when they heard that there was a fleet from the north going south, the fishermen cheered for themselves, because they knew that it meant victory was coming.
"As long as the Duke himself goes south, defeating the Combined Fleet will be a matter of capture, and the situation will begin to reverse. ā
"But after all, the Combined Fleet has three hundred warships, and those are warships, not our fishing boats, and the last time I saw them from afar, it was amazing. ā
"I really hope that the war will end soon, there is no way to go out to sea to fish, there is no way to make money, now that I have been idle for a while, I really want to work early. ā
"Hey, look, what's going on on the sea, how can there be so much fire, it should be the direction of Osprey Island, what's going on there?"
"Oh my God, could it be the light of the Combined Fleet? This is terrible, is there a naval battle over there?"
The fishermen, who were looking forward to the early end of the naval battle in Yingge Harbor, looked at the sea from a distance, and noticed that the sea that had been shrouded in night suddenly had a large fire, and the sporadic firelight was like the stars in the sky lit up on the sea, and they all looked at each other.
"I think I've heard that there are ships docked near Osprey Island, those ships are very strange, they are very similar to the steamships of the Far East Fleet that we have seen before, hey, could it be that Lord Duke docked at Osprey Island? If so, then aren't they besieged?"
"If that's the case, this level will definitely be over, no, we can't sit idly by here, we must do something, let's all go over and help, although we can only do something insignificant, but what if the Duke who fell into the water is rescued?"
"Let's do it, although we don't know the situation, but we have to do something, otherwise I'm sorry for our conscience, everyone hurry up and upload it, and call more people over, we'll go to Osprey Island now...... Wait a minute, you guys see what's going on over there, something is wrong. ā
Just when the fishermen were in a hurry and hastily gathered their men to plan to head towards Osprey Island, someone suddenly stopped them.
"Look, those fires on the sea are the torches on the ship, right? But there seems to be something coming towards the fleet from inside Osprey Island, look, those things are burning, these are light boats, light boats full of burning materials, they are moving quickly towards the fleet, and they are about to make contact!"
The experienced veteran fisherman suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed, this scene was so sudden that everyone was unprepared and stunned.
At this time, not only the fishermen who watched the battle from afar in Yingge Harbor, but even the Pasong and Maude, who were on the flagship of the Combined Fleet, were immersed in the joy of victory.
After all, the ships in front of them are clearly the warships of the Far East, they have been walking on the sea for too long, they can't chase after them, and they have never found their anchoring place, which makes Pasong and the others completely unable to beat them out with their fists in their hands, making them feel so distressed.
Now they are finally going to catch all these people, which makes them not excited, but at this time, Pasong is the first to notice the abnormality.
"Wait, did you smell a strange smell coming from the air, this thick smell is...... Strange thing, although we have pine oil on board for lighting, it is not enough to emit such a strong smell, what is going on, and the sea breeze and currents are ...... tonight."
Pasong sniffed and smelled a strong smell of pine oil from the air, which puzzled him, and at this time he closed his eyes and listened.
He was able to tell that the wind and currents were coming from the side of Osprey Island, which made him feel a little uneasy, and he always felt that something was missing.
"Big brother, you are just too cautious, isn't it just a stinky kid, we easily cleaned him up, he has fallen to this point, is there any other way for him to turn defeat into victory? hehe, this kind of thing does not exist in this world!"
Maud couldn't find a reason why the other party could still win, thinking that Pasong was simply worried too much, which was not his usual style.
Thinking of this, Maude felt a little contemptuous of Pason, if it had been ten years ago, he would definitely not have dared to have such thoughts.
But now as long as the Far East Fleet is defeated, they will be able to land from the east coast of the empire, drive straight in, and then the gold and silver treasure women will be in power.
These things would be in his pocket, and Pason had become cautious since the scar on his face by the man.
Maude is not afraid of him like this, as long as he takes the royal capital of the empire, hehe, he will not share those things with a coward!
"Look, look in the water, what is that? It looks like something is moving towards us, what is it, is there a fish?"
At this time, a sharp-eyed sailor came up with an idea of a movement in the water, and immediately reminded his companion to look over, something was floating on the water.
"That's not a fish, it's a light boat, there are a lot of them, there are hundreds, but compared to our warships, this kind of light boat is the difference between lions and ants, even if there are more of them, it is impossible to sink our warship, should they be at the end of the road, let the fishermen come to die?"
The sailors laughed, not caring at all about these approaching light boats, which could not cause them substantial damage at all.
"No, the current, the direction of the wind, the smell of pine oil, and this fast-approaching light boat, our warship...... No, cut off all the ropes that connect the warship immediately, and move quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Pasong became more and more suspicious, his brow furrowed more and more, and soon he strung the series together, and there was a bad guess in his mind.
He immediately shouted an order for the soldiers to act!
