Chapter 680: Supply Routes
While the stormy battle in the dark of Seagull Harbor was in full swing, a fleet was moving rapidly south from the north. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The fleet was not huge, with only twenty ships, which was nothing compared to the size of the combined fleet's three hundred ships.
In fact, they did not intend to rush directly into the battle formation of the combined fleet on the sea, but shifted their attention to the islands in the northeast.
Crescent Island was an important location for the Combined Fleet to stock up on supplies, as the Combined Fleet was so far away from the Bay Gap region.
Their supplies were destined to be impossible to bring from the Bay Gorges, and they simply couldn't support this long supply line, which was too deadly.
In charge of their supplies are the Bolton family under the command of Haiger, and every once in a while, a transport ship will be sent from the Fluctuation family.
The supplies were placed on Crescent Island, guarded by a thousand soldiers, a comfortable place to stay on the sea.
But these soldiers have a big opinion, because they have come thousands of miles from the Bay Gorge area to the Miracle Continent, not to guard supplies.
They wanted to be part of slaughter and plunder, and the mere thought of the gold and silver treasures and women on the fertile soil was enough to excite them.
They were desperate to land and participate in the raid, but instead of the sound of the trumpet announcing their landing, they were waiting for a fleet of ships to come.
These ships were neither the ships of the Combined Fleet nor the supply ships sent by the Bolton family, and when the soldiers on Crescent Island saw that these ships were somewhat unusual, and that they were carrying flags that they knew well, they should have seen them during the attack on Seagull Harbor, and they looked at each other.
It wasn't until they came to their senses that it was a battle flag from the Far East, and the rumbling explosions were already ringing around them, and the entire Crescent Island quickly fell under the fierce attack of this fleet, and the supplies stored on the island were burned, waiting for the ships of the Combined Fleet to turn back to support.
At this time, all that was left for them was a mess and scorched blackness, and where was the shadow of the Far Eastern Fleet? After Pasong landed on Crescent Island, his face was gloomy.
"Bastard, these cowards don't dare to confront us head-on, you know what you are doing with this method of sneaking up on the ground? Can't you even stop twenty boats? Anyway, you can delay for a while until we arrive, and now all this food is ...... It's all ......."
Maud saw the burnt warehouse, and his teeth itched with hatred, and he kicked the officers guarding Crescent Island to the ground, furious.
"They came so fast, who would have thought that they would suddenly appear, and their fire was so fierce that they had already attacked the island without giving us any time to react, and we had already resisted it with all our might, but we couldn't resist their ferocity, and we would ...... when we came to our senses."
The officer defended himself, remembering the previous attack on Crescent Island, and he was still a little confused in his mind, it was too sudden.
"Are you sure that there are only twenty ships attacking you, and what are these ships like? We rushed back as soon as we found out about the bombardment, and only to be absent from here for a short time, which is so fast that it doesn't look like an ordinary warship. ”
Haigl calmly asked the officer that he needed more information from the officer, who had too little in their hands right now.
"Those ships have no masts and sails, the surface is covered with iron sheets, very hard, they are not only fast, but also very flexible, like tiger sharks in the sea, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I can't believe that there is such a magical ship in this world, it is the ark of God?"
The officer gestured with his hands, a little incoherent, and he had been stupefied by the bombardment, and he had not yet suffered such a setback.
"What God's ark, don't talk nonsense here, be careful with such crazy words, I'll slaughter you and throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"
Maud didn't believe what he said, and only thought that he was here to make up lies and vicious threats to attack him in order to shirk responsibility.
"He's been with me for years, it's impossible to lie, it seems that the rumors about the new ships of the Far East Fleet are true, and it was not only luck that they were able to defeat the huge Imperial fleet before, but also the attack we encountered in Seagull Harbor was most likely their work. ”
With a wave of his hand, Pason motioned for the officer to retreat, having not seen a Far Eastern warship since the assault on Seagull Harbor.
"Now they have emptied the port again, luring us to continue to land in the port, but now the port has become like that, and according to the attack power they showed last night, there are at least a few thousand elite soldiers waiting for us to land on land, and now they have attacked Crescent Island, destroying all our supplies, and now the situation seems to be developing in a bad direction for us. ”
Haigl frowned, they were able to besiege Seagull Harbor for two months, relying on a steady stream of supplies.
"Isn't it just a small setback, what's wrong with it, and the supply of materials is not your Bolton family's responsibility? The next trip will be delivered in three days, right, as long as you send the supplies in time, we will be here to guard it tightly, what can they do?"
Maud scoffed at Haigel's words, this guy was so daring that he was frightened by this level of frustration.
Although there were a lot of losses in the attack last night, and the materials on Crescent Island were burned again, their main force still existed and still held the advantage.
"It would be nice if it really went smoothly like that, since they have figured out the location of our materials storage, and judged that our Bolton family is responsible for transporting them, then before the Bolton family arrives on Crescent Island, is it not easy for them to judge the route of transporting the supplies? I'm afraid the supplies have already ......."
Heigl didn't say any more, Maud didn't realize that, but cold sweat began to seep down his forehead, which was terrible.
The advantage they had accumulated over the past two months seemed to have vanished overnight, and they were in a disadvantageous situation.
And all this happened, just because of the arrival of the famous Duke of the Far East, the scale of victory began to appear so obviously?
What's worse is that he hasn't seen that guy's face yet, and he still has a grudge against that Duke of the Far East.
He was the one who killed his father and brother!
