Chapter 258: After the War (Part II)
The Imperial fleet retreated, returned to anchor in the open sea, and reorganized its fleet and forces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In this attack, the Imperial fleet suffered heavy losses, and the forward fleet and the second fleet lost a lot of troops.
In particular, the Second Fleet used almost all its strength, but in the end it still failed to break through the forward fortress of Dragon City.
Such an outcome is obviously unbearable for the Imperial side, and Laurie, the Admiral of the Second Fleet, cannot afford it.
Laurie immediately relinquished command of the fleet and went to ask the commander Floy for his guilt.
As for Lehman, he also followed Laurie to ask his father for guilt, after all, he was also involved in the battle of the Second Fleet.
The general of the vanguard fleet was killed in the battle, and the deputy commander of the vanguard also led people to ask Floy for his guilt.
Faced with the two generals and his son's plea, Floy also felt very helpless.
This attack was actually commanded by Freu, and the entire offensive plan was planned by Freud in advance.
The reason why Duke Lin received the news of the Empire's attack did not appear in the forward fortress to support.
It was because Floy had passed on a false message to Duke Lin beforehand that his Knights were in trouble at sea.
As a result, Duke Lin naturally believed it, and finally chose to take people to rescue his knights, so he did not go to the forward fortress to support.
After years of confrontation with Duke Lin, as the opponent he knew best, Floy originally thought that the plan was foolproof.
Because from the attack a few days ago, it is not difficult to see that the current defensive commander of Dragon City is that Duke Lin.
In Freu's opinion, as long as Duke Lin was transferred, it should be an easy thing to break through the forward fortress of Dragon City.
After all, Floy is a division of a hundred battles, and in Dragon City, except for Duke Lin, there is nothing more than a group of military police and criminals.
Even for this attack, Floy specially found the priest of the Witch Sect, and asked the Witch Sect priest to use the latest magic energy cannon of the Witch Sect to directly shatter the defensive energy shield of the frontier fortress, in order to completely lose the defensive power of the frontier fortress and facilitate the attack of the imperial army.
But unfortunately, the result backfired, and Floy thought that he could succeed in the attack, but in the end failed.
From the attack of the forward fleet to the forced attack of the Second Fleet, Floy was also adjusting his tactics according to the situation throughout the process.
It can be said that Freud calculated almost everything, even at the expense of a large number of imperial ships and soldiers.
Even the vanguard fleet was disabled, and Floy didn't care at all at that time, in order to break through the Dragon City defense in one fell swoop.
In the end, it still failed, and those guys in the Dragon City fortifications actually used extraordinary means.
He held back the attacks of the Imperial army again and again, and the attack caused both fleets of the Empire to be disabled.
Now in the face of such a huge loss, looking at the generals who are guilty of pleading, Floy is also full of helplessness.
At this point, it is no longer possible to kill a certain general to smooth out this loss.
Floy sighed and said, "Come on, let them loosen their bonds, you can't be blamed for this loss, the responsibility lies with me." ā
Listening to Floy's words, Laurie hurriedly spoke: "No, commander, you can't be blamed for this, it's our poor attack. ā
Lehman knelt there and did not dare to speak, and neither did the vice admiral of the forward fleet.
Floy shook his head and said, "No, it's really not your problem, it's my plan that went wrong, so I have to bear the fault." ā
"Papapa" As soon as Floy's words fell, with a burst of crisp applause, a group of witches pushed through the crowd and walked in.
The Witch Priest at the head smiled and said, "Very good, it seems that you are still self-aware, Commander. ā
When Floy saw the witch priest leading people to appear, his expression suddenly calmed down, and he asked, "Then what do you have to say when the priest comes?"
The priest of the Witch Cult always smiled and said, "I have come to exercise my overseer powers. ā
After listening to the priestess's words, one of the generals present immediately spoke: "What do you mean by this? I don't see you when you are fighting, and when you lose, you run out to find trouble, and you obviously deliberately want to target the commander, since this is the case, then what do you want us generals to do? You witches teach yourself to fight." ā
It was none other than Laurie, who was guilty of the guilt, when he faced the witch cult who wanted to punish Floy.
As a general promoted by Floy, Laurie still couldn't resist standing up and wanted to fight the witch cult for Floy.
However, as soon as Laurie finished speaking, Floy suddenly stood up and slapped Laurie angrily, "You shut up for me." ā
The priestess then said with a smirk: "Very good, I didn't expect the generals under the command of the commander to be so loyal." ā
Floy immediately whispered, "Please bear with me, Lord Priest, Laurie is just a rough man, don't be like him." ā
Floy's words were so high-sounding that the priestess suddenly had no way to get angry with Laurie.
As a priest of the Witch Cult, she had to ensure her pride, so she didn't want to lose her identity and pride in Laurie.
The priestess smiled slightly: "Hehehe, Your Excellency the Commander, don't be nervous, I don't mean to punish, our Divine Sect has clear rewards and punishments." ā
Hearing what the priestess said, everyone present could hear that she was clearly deliberately pointing out that she would not let Floy go.
Lehman thought about it, and wanted to get up and say a few words for his father, and even wanted to plead with the priestess.
But when Lehman looked up at his father, he met his father's gaze.
Floy shook his head in affirmation, and stopped Lehman from standing up for him with his eyes.
Afterwards, Freud said to the priestess: "Rest assured, Lord Priest, that the Augustinian family will not escape responsibility, and this defeat is my responsibility, and I will naturally bear the responsibility, and I will temporarily relinquish the power of commandery, and the power of commander-in-chief will be handed over to the general of the First Fleet, and Stewart will act for the time being." ā
Confessing his punishment, Floy looked at the priestess and asked, "Is the priest satisfied with such a punishment?"
The priestess originally wanted to take the opportunity to support others to become commanders, but she thought that most of the fleet was still in Floy's hands.
In the end, the priestess still approved of Floy's approach, nodded and said, "Okay, I agree, General Stewart of the Ken Wolf family will take the position of commander for the time being." ā
In fact, the most important reason why the priestess agreed with Floy's proposal was that Stewart belonged to the imperial family.
In this Imperial Fleet, there are actually three forces, and the Witch Cult and the Imperial Military Meritorious Sect led by Floy are naturally the two strongest forces.
But in addition to them, there is also the royal faction that commands the First Fleet of the Empire, and the general is Stewart.
It is also a branch of the Barot family in Dragon City, and he followed the empire overseas back then, and now his power in the empire is also very strong.
The most important thing is that after the rise of the Freud military merit faction in recent years, the strength of the royal family has been continuously weakened.
Therefore, shortly after Barot's birth, he fled overseas with a group of troops, and the branch of the Ken Wolf family gained the attention of the royal family.
And after all these years of development, it has become the only force that the imperial family can rely on now.
The Imperial Family is completely dependent on the Ken Wolf family, and thus competes with the Witch Cult and the Military Meritorious Sect.
Stewart understood the intentions of Floy and the priestess, but he did not have the slightest fear, and stood up without humility or arrogance, and said, "Then Stewart is welcome." (To be continued.) )
