"No, it's impossible, Ivo doesn't have the ability to fight on two fronts, he must want to use the power of the legendary battleship to deal with one of the expeditionary forces first, since he has already been ambushed here, the force that attacked the Southern Continent Expeditionary Force is the bait he released, which is to deliberately lure us to change direction and pass through the ambush site. "Bennett's mind turned quickly, and he felt that he had guessed Ivo's intentions, so he contacted Marretton again, and said, "I met Ivo and his large army, Commander Marreton, and it was the bait that attacked you!"www.biquge.info

"What, fifty or sixty warships are all bait?" "Marretton couldn't believe it, "You saw the capital of the dead?"

"Yes, the Legendary Battleship is here, and Ivo probably has an intelligence source that knows that you are carrying the hole cards against the Legendary Battleship, so he chooses to deal with us first!"

Marretton rolled his eyes and said: "Since Ivo is willing to use so much combat power as bait, how can there be any reason not to destroy it, as long as this group of big decoys is destroyed, Ivo's combat power will be greatly reduced." Commander Bennett, I'm going to spend some time destroying this enemy first. ”

"Good!"

At the end of the arraignment, Bennett immediately ordered the San Maro fleet to form a dense formation, slowly pressing up, and preparing for a decisive battle with Ivo.

On the bow of the Capital of the Dead, Ivo smiled and said, "Avoid frontal combat and drag the enemy." ”

"Understood. ”

"Next, just wait for news from Barlow's side. ”

......

To the south of the Shark Sea, Barlow led fifty warships to fight Marreton's troops.

When the decisive battle was about to break out, Barlow suddenly led the team to retreat, as if trying to escape.

"How can I vomit the bait in my mouth. Marleton smiled coldly, "Chase!"

The Southern Cross fleet was in hot pursuit, and the shells exploded in waves.

In Barlow's fleet, Ender excitedly said, "Sure enough, as Ivo said, they all chased after him." ”

"Implement it as planned, and lead them to their destination at noon tomorrow. Barlow said.

Looking at the Southern Cross fleet, which had made up its mind to pursue it to the end, Barlow remembered what Ivo had said before the battle began......

"In the face of a huge number of enemies, no one believes that I will fight on two fronts, just to use their ideas to complete our trap, when they think they have seen the main force, maybe they encounter only bait, when they think they have encountered bait, maybe the 'bait' is the death messenger who sent them to feed the sharks......"

"Nothing but reality, until they step into the trap, we don't know what we want to do. ”

The excellent warships of the Southern Continent were more than one grade better than the warships under Barlow's command, and Barlow's fleet was gradually catching up, and he saw that it was impossible to go on like this, so he could only choose to reduce the weight of the ship, let the crew throw away the unnecessary materials in the cabin, and gradually increase the speed.

First the extra food and drink, then some ammunition and crossbow arrows, and finally even some of the preparation materials for repairing the ship and a few ballistas were thrown away, so that they could keep up with the Southern Cross fleet.

There were abandoned debris floating on the sea, Marreton glanced at it disdainfully, and the adjutant beside him said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy has reduced the weight of the ship, should we also give up some things to speed up?"

Marleton shook his head decisively, feeling that there was no need for this at all, in his eyes, the behavior of Barlow's group of enemies was just to quench their thirst, and now the wind direction was unfavorable to the Southern Cross, and when the wind direction was normal or even dominant, he could give full play to the speed advantage of the warships of the Southern Continent Federation, and the enemy had nowhere to escape, so Marreton felt that he did not need to give up his materials to speed up.

"Keep chasing, don't let the enemy out of our sight. Marretton looked confident, "They can't escape." ”

Not to mention the chase battle on the south side of the Shark Sea, the perspective returns to the scene of the confrontation between the fleets of Ivo and San Maro on the east side of the Shark Sea.

The two sides fought around a small island, and Bennett commanded the fleet to spread out their formation, trying to use the island's terrain to trap Ivo and force him to fight.

The guns of the warships were aimed at his side, Ivo glanced at it, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the northwest direction of the encirclement formation composed of pirate ships from the Crescent Sea, compared with warships, pirate ships are undoubtedly easier to deal with, he did not hesitate to order a breakthrough to the northwest, the capital of the dead as the flagship, leading dozens of warships and pirate ships to rush to the northwest.

"Stop them!" Bennett ordered eagerly, and the warships in the rest of the directions pursued in pursuit, the cannon roared, and the several warships of Ivo's fleet were lagging behind, and the stern of the ship was shot by crossbow arrows, and the dense large arrow shafts were embedded in the hull, like hedgehogs.

Approaching the northwest encirclement, the pale hull of the capital of the dead flickered slightly, and I saw that the muzzle baffle of the hull of the ship automatically opened, revealing hundreds of ballistas densely packed, and the invisible ghost sailor controlled the ship under the command of Ivo's consciousness, looking like an unmanned giant ship. In the past two years, Ivo has collected a large number of excellent ship accessories, so that the capital of the dead can restore the firepower of a warship, bang bang a series of cannons, with the firepower of a ship in the capital of the dead, it is comparable to more than a dozen ships firing together, the rain of arrows and shells cover the sky and the sun, and explode in the San Maro formation.

Several warships in front of them were sunk in an instant, and the ten pirate ships from the Crescent Moon Sea actually retreated directly, as if they didn't want to fight with Ivo, and this retreat directly tore a hole in the encirclement formation.

Ivo's heart moved, and he commanded the capital of the dead to open the way, and the ghost sailor turned into a gust of wind, causing the entire fleet to speed up and directly break through the encirclement.

Bennett was furious, "Why should those pirate ships stand back?

The adjutant was sweating profusely, "Lord Bennett, those pirates weren't part of the army in the first place. ”

The big fish in his hands ran away, and Bennett angrily questioned the captain of the Crescent Moon fleet with the communication badge, "Why did you avoid it!"

The pirate captain said lazily: "The enemy's fire is too fierce. ”

"I want you to fight to the death!"

"Why should we listen to you? ”

"Since Harry Morgan has asked you to join my fleet, you must obey me!

"If you have the ability, you can let us leave the expeditionary force, I didn't want to come anyway. The pirate captain was unimpressed, and Harry Morgan had tasked them with gathering as much information as possible on the shark sea, rather than really being stupid enough to help St. Maro's fleet fight.

"Bastard!" Bennett threw away the teleportation badge with a grim face, he knew that he should not expect anything from this group of scum at sea, and that he could only make up for the missed opportunity, and ordered the San Maro fleet to chase Ivo.

The San Maro warship is not slow, but the more than 10,000 ghosts on the capital of the dead can turn into a strong wind to increase the speed of the entire fleet, and the San Maro fleet can only hang far behind. Bennett recognized that the capital of the dead was the main force of Ivo, and carried forward the spirit of never giving up, and pursued it closely.

This chase soon exceeded a day. Bennett expected a protracted war, with the sailors on board in shifts, as did Ivo's side.

The next day at noon.

Bennett was holding a telescope and looking at Ivo's team when the teleportation badge suddenly vibrate.

"Marleton?"

"It's me. Maleton's tone was anxious, and a faint screaming voice came out in the background, "We have encountered an ambush!"

Bennett was shocked, "You've been ambushed again? impossible, Ivo shouldn't have any extra strength!"

Marretton said eagerly, "You guys are chasing Ivo's main force?"

"Yes. ”

"Don't chase it anymore!"

"Why?" Bennett wondered.

"It's his trap!"

When the words fell, the background sound on Marreton's side became louder and louder, and the sound of explosions, screams, and crashes made Bennett's heart tremble, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?

Boom, another loud bang, obscuring all sounds.

It was a full ten seconds before Marleton's angry tone rang out.

"Shark, it's a shark!"
