Chapter 300: The Navy Intervenes
The Odin Empire ruled the entire continent, with an extremely vast coastline and numerous naval ports built off the coast to protect the seas. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The navy learned that the Changfeng was hunted down by Rothschild, and the Odin Navy battleship was specially found, and it was their duty to deal with pirates, and the Odin Navy was different from the Quisham Navy in that it was disciplined and scrupulously abided by its duties, and the sailors invited Ivo to take temporary refuge in the naval port.
Such good deeds, of course, were readily accepted.
The naval harbor in this area was not far from here, and a few hours later, the Long Wind and the captured pirate ship docked at the dock of the naval harbor.
The architecture of the Odin Empire is very atmospheric, the dock is built like a city wall, there are hundreds of outlets at the bottom of the dock, the naval warships do not dock directly at sea, each warship has its own dock workshop, which shows the wealth of the Odin Empire.
The battleships of the Odin Navy are very sophisticated, Menisel type warships, tall as buildings, lacquered red gold, intricate and gorgeous carvings, three of the four decks are gun holes, and there are a total of fifty-four side guns, of which three small alchemy cannons are standard.
After going ashore, Lieutenant Odin, who was wearing an officer's uniform, stood by the dock, looked at Ivo and Lawzing, and said, "You are the captain who was hunted down by Rothschild?"
"It's me. Ivo glanced at the other party's rank medal, and his expression was natural.
The military rank system of the Odin Empire is different from that of the North Continent, the vast and huge Odin Empire has dozens of legions, and the division of soldiers at all levels is clearer, with the rank system of non-commissioned officers, lieutenants, colonels, and generals dividing merit and status, and the military rank of the Governor of the Naval Port is Colonel.
The lieutenant led the two to the fort inside the naval harbor and entered a conference room where all the officers were present, and at the top was the lieutenant colonel, second in command after the governor.
"You may be seated. The lieutenant colonel stretched out his hand, stern and serious.
Ivo and Lawzing take their seats.
The lieutenant colonel said slowly: "The governor ordered us to intercept Rothschild, pirates have become more and more rampant in recent years, Rothschild has almost all the pirate alliances with the Emerald Sea, the power is huge, and it has threatened the security of the imperial territory, which makes the marshal extremely dissatisfied, this time Rothschild only gathered the manpower of his own pirate group, this is a golden opportunity, we have to confront Rothschild head-on, defeat him, and discourage his arrogance." ”
Ivo's face tightened slightly, he felt that something was wrong, it didn't sound like the Navy was sheltering them alone.
Sure enough, the lieutenant colonel turned to Ivo and said, "You are Rothschild's target, and we hope that you can lure Rothschild's fleet to our designated ambush site." ”
This is to want him to be a bait, Ivo is unhappy, he doesn't want to cause more trouble, it is very unwise to confront the Pirate King head-on, it is a huge risk to be a bait, he is not gullible to believe that the navy will protect himself, compared to the value of his bait and the temptation to defeat the Pirate King, if he is caught up by the Pirate King, the navy will not give a helping hand in order to wait for the Pirate King's fleet to enter the ambush area.
The thought flashed through his mind, Ivo stood up and politely refused: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I once fought with the Pirate King, which makes me remember it very well, I just want to get to the mainland as soon as possible, and my crew doesn't want to continue fighting, I'm really sorry." ”
The lieutenant colonel's face was slightly gloomy, and he snorted coldly and turned to Lawrings, "Mr. Lawhearts, what do you mean?"
In the Odin Empire, Lawsins was more well-known than Ivo, and in the eyes of the lieutenant colonel, Lawsins was the one in charge.
Lawzings looked embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and when the lieutenant colonel looked impatient, he said guiltily to Ivo: "I want to believe in the navy." ”
Of the two options between Ivo and Odin's navy, Lawzings decided to trust the latter, and the reason is understandable, and the military power possessed by Odin's navy gave him confidence.
Ivo had already expected Lawsim's decision, and he was a little helpless, it was too dangerous to be a bait, if Lawsins died, the line he had finally caught up with the Goat Chamber of Commerce would be broken, and he would let the Pirate King hold a grudge in vain, and he would lose a lot of money.
Convincing Lawsims that it was unrealistic, Ivo rolled his eyes and said, "In that case, the captured pirate ship will be given to you as bait, officers, then I'll go first." ”
The lieutenant colonel didn't care to wave his hand, and Ivo refused to be a bait, so he became an inconsequential figure, and naturally he couldn't stay in the conference room.
Lawsins sighed: "I'm sorry, my promise to you is still valid, when you return to the mainland, you can come to the Goat Chamber of Commerce to find me, I will buy the pirate ship you gave me at a price ten percent higher than the market price." ”
Ivo was noncommittal and turned to leave.
After he left, the officers in the room sneered quietly.
"Coward. ”
"Another captain who was scared by the Pirate King. ”
"What a coward. ”
......
Back on the Wind, the crowd gathered around, and Nafi asked, "What are we going to do now?"
Ivo squinted and said, "The Navy wants to deal with Rothschild, let's go farther, follow the Navy warship, lurk on the edge of the battlefield, and see if we can find a chance to rescue Lawzings." ”
Noconnor's face was worried, "It's too risky. ”
Ivo touched his chin, "So let's wait and see, if we really don't have a chance, let's just leave, we have no choice but to abandon Lawcins." ”
Everyone nodded.
An hour later, the Naval Harbor sent patrol ships to drive away the nearby ships and remove the pirate king's eyes, and then the whole army set out, and hundreds of naval warships sailed to an island not far away.
Long Bay Island, which was chosen by the Navy as an ambush site, was the back of the island where hundreds of Navy warships hid.
Lawzings and the Chamber of Commerce sailors sailed dozens of nautical miles away in the captured pirate special ship, waiting for the Pirate King to appear.
The Changfeng wanted to follow a long distance, but it happened that there were sparse reefs scattered in the waters near Changwan Island, and the Changfeng hid behind a reef, not far from the island, and was not discovered, quietly lurking.
Ivo glanced at the terrain of Long Bay Island from a distance, and guessed the tactics of the navy, Long Bay Island, as the name suggests, has a very narrow and semi-arc bay, Lawsins can pretend to panic or run aground, escape to the island, as long as the pirate king's fleet sails into the bay, the navy can form an encirclement situation, so that the pirate king has no way to retreat.
Of course, this is just a plan, and whether it will succeed is another matter.
......
Dozens of nautical miles away, the Pirate King's fleet sailed mightily and discovered Lawcins' ship.
The crew immediately reported to the captain.
"Only one ship?" Rothschild thought, touching his braided beard.
"Our eyeliner reports that the target is said to have been in contact with Odin's navy. ”
"The Navy wants to deal with me?" Rothschild laughed nonchalantly, "There is only the Essoburg Naval Port in this sea, and only a hundred or so ships want to deal with me, do you look down on me so much?"
"Captain, give the order. ”
Rothschild waved his hand, "Then let's play with them, and let this group of forgetful navies remind Lao Tzu of the horror." ”
Power comes with doing as you please, and Rothschild's code of conduct is his mood.
Since the navy wants to provoke his majesty, he wants to destroy the navy.
