Chapter 448: Taking Advantage of the Void
War is like a running train, once it is turned on and running at high speed, no one knows where it will end up.
Maybe it was to run over all the people who blocked it, or maybe it was to crash the car and kill the people in the car.
After the sneak attack of the Invincible Armada, Tang Jie had a complete understanding of this.
I originally thought it was a foolproof thing, but I didn't expect that an invincible armada would be killed in the middle of the way, and what was even more dramatic was that the captain of the invincible armada, Sumar, focused the main attack on the Black Dragon King, which led to a miserable defeat in the end.
If Sumal had concentrated his firepower on Tang Jie's other fleet ships at the beginning, and then relied on the large number of fleets to fight with the Black Dragon King, this might not be the result, even if they didn't win, they could have escaped.
It can be said that this is the most dangerous battle since Tang Jie sailed on the sea, just thinking about it afterwards, Tang Jie will be chilled and shivering!
If his fleet is wiped out here, not to mention anything else, Angel and the others on the Hell will die because of this, and Tang Jie will definitely go crazy because of it!
After leaving Shatlit in shock, Tang Jie no longer dared to stay all the way, and went all the way south.
But when he led the fleet into the Thorpe Sea, the fleet suddenly heard a discordant sound.
Fiona's legion commander Chrysman proposed to Fiona that his subordinates had been away from Mozambique for a long time, and they had begun to miss their hometown, and they had been fighting frequently along the way, and they didn't know the current situation in Otrentia, and he was afraid that their group would fall into the net if they went to Otrentia.
Fiona understood Chrysman's opinion, and she nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, but this fleet is commanded by Captain Tang Jie, and we should obey his orders." β
But Chrysman sneered and said, "We are your subordinates, not Tang Jie's. β
Faced with this thorny words, Fiona was also helpless, so she had to find Tang Jie to ask him what he meant.
Tang Jie was furious when he heard it, but Chrysman was the leader of the Magic Legion, and he was not his direct subordinate, so theoretically, he couldn't control this guy.
With Fiona present, it is unlikely that Chrysman will mutiny with the Legion, but if these guys are disobedient, it will be quite annoying.
The most important thing is that now that Tang Jie has brought back Angel, he should return to Ortrencia as soon as possible, because he is worried that the longer he leaves, the more unshakable Camila will be in Ortrencia.
In order to convince Chrysman, Tang Jie specially convened a small military meeting for his subordinates to discuss whether to return to Alcatraz or Otrentia.
To Tang Jie's surprise, many of his subordinates felt that this time the journey was too long, Tang Jie set off from Alcatraz Island with a fleet, experienced the shelling of Clarimu, the Battle of Cameroga along the way, and then arrived in Otrentia, and then experienced a period of time when Tang Jie disappeared, and finally waited for Tang Jie to return, and immediately set off north, sailing thousands of nautical miles to the Shira Empire, and the battles experienced on the way were not less.
The pirates were tired of the journey, and they were eager to return to Alcatraz and Sisis with the gold they had earned along the way, to have fun and to revel.
In the meeting, Angel was also present, but because of her sensitive identity, she did not speak, and the meeting almost became a one-sided situation, which caught Tang Jie off guard.
Even, even Tang Jie himself was a little shaken.
Along the way, they are like a tight steel string, almost about to break, if they continue to be tight, maybe there will really be problems.
Why don't you go back to Alcatraz Island and rectify it first?
Tang Jie thought hesitantly, and then he announced the decision to temporarily suspend the meeting, leaving himself a day to think.
Just when Tang Jie was hesitating, a small merchant ship suddenly appeared and interrupted Tang Jie's thinking.
"Are you Captain Tang Jie?" a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman was brought to Tang Jie by Nia.
Tang Jie nodded: "I am, who are you?"
The merchant carefully took out a ring from his bosom and handed it over: "I am a servant of the Countess, and she has asked me to wait for you here for five days. β
Tang Jie took the ring and looked at it, and sure enough, he found that it was a ring that the countess had worn before, with a beautiful rose seal and Margaret's name on it, which others could not imitate at all.
"How did you know I was going to be here?" Tang Jie looked at him puzzled.
The merchant said, "This is the only way from the Empire of Shira to the Empire of Falco, and we have three ships sailing on the sea, searching for your whereabouts all the time. β
Tang Jie laughed: "You guys can really toss." Tell me, what do you want to tell me? Margaret can't have done so much to welcome me back, right?"
The merchant bent down and said, "Captain, the Countess has asked me to tell you the news: the Crusaders from the Pound Empire are fiercely attacking Otrentia, and I am afraid that the city will fall in a short time!"
Tang Jie jumped up suddenly, his eyes widened: "What? How is this possible? How did these crusaders get to Otrentia?"
The merchant unhurriedly told the Crusaders about landing on the Falco coastline and killing them all the way to Otrentia, and then told Tang Jie about the current situation in Alterenceia.
Tang Jie was stunned, he suddenly realized that the current chaos in Ortrencia was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of the situation!
Otherwise, with Camila's power in Ortrencia, even if he takes Angel back again, it will definitely take a lot of effort and time.
Not to mention anything else, just Queen Camilla's condescending accountability makes Angel very unbearable!
The queen married her daughter out, and was actually snatched back by a pirate, what is this!
But now, Camilla is unable to protect herself, and it is a golden opportunity!
Tang Jie immediately made a decision, rewarded the merchant who delivered the letter, and expressed his sincere gratitude to Margaret through him.
After that, Tang Jie convened a military meeting again and told everyone about the situation in Otrencia, and then he said: "We are now like being in a thorn bush, although we are tired and exhausted, and our skin and flesh are damaged, but as long as we work harder, we will be able to get out of this thorn bush, and from now on there will be no obstacles that can stop our steps, and the whole sea will be flat and unhindered!"
Tang Jie's men were moved by Tang Jie's words, and the black-haired pirate king's prestige in the fleet once again played a crucial role.
Although Chrysman still maintained his original opinion, he alone could not stop the fleet from turning around and heading towards Otrensia.
Five days later, Tang Jie and his fleet arrived in the territorial waters of Otrensia.
Although they did not enter the city, Angel, Tang Jie and the others were able to stand on the side of the ship and use binoculars to see clearly the bleak scene in the city.
Due to the fierce attack on Otrentia, more than 100,000 people were killed in the city, so many corpses were piled up in the city, and there was no place to bury them.
So Camilla had to order the corpse to be thrown into the sea to avoid the plague.
As a result, the waters of the port of Otrensia are littered with adrift corpses, and the backs of sharks can be seen swimming back and forth on the sea, making it a terrifying sight like hell.
Many bereaved families are crying loudly into the sea near the port, and the voices are sad and heart-wrenching.
Angel said to Tang Jie with tears in her eyes: "Otrentia is crying, crying, now only you can send troops to her!"
Tang Jie looked at Angel with a solemn face: "No, only you can save her!"
Angel was stunned for a moment, she nodded: "Okay, you give me some soldiers, and I'll go into the city to fight!"
Tang Jie looked at Angel, who was anxious, and sighed: "You stupid girl, now Ortrencia can still support it, if you go, won't you just be in the mouth of the tiger? You not only saved Otrenceia, but also Camilla." She will not remember your favor, and neither will the people of Otrentia. β
Angel opened her mouth, as a woman who is proficient in scheming and war, she naturally understands that although Tang Jie said is thick and black, it is the best choice, she is eager to climb the throne, but it is definitely not to build the throne on a mountain of corpses and bones!
She loved her country, her prosperous imperial capital, her people, and she didn't want to see them suffer so much.
Angel sighed and said in a deep voice: "But, my captain, if we keep anchoring on the surface of the sea and do not help the suffering civilians, and the time drags on, Camila will take advantage of our inaction to attack us and transfer this hatred." Civilians are innocent, they only believe what they see in front of them. β
Tang Jie said movingly: "What you said makes sense! I can go to support Otrensia in advance, but before that, we must stop on the sea for a while, and we still have to take the shelf, otherwise others will look down on us and will not remember us at all!"
Angel nodded: "Of course, in addition, I suggest that Fiona can be sent to Otrensia to tell them about our situation." β
Tang Jie's eyes lit up, and he praised him: "Yes, we can threaten Camilla and ask her to give up the throne in exchange for our rescue!"
Angel was stunned for a moment: "This, isn't this taking advantage of the fire to rob?"
Tang Jie snorted: "If you don't take advantage of this time to rob, will you wait for Camila to recover and then compete with her? You won't be so naΓ―ve, right? Where is the decisive princess who instigated the rebellion in Garcia in the first place?"
Angel was shocked, and the hesitation and pity in his eyes slowly disappeared, replaced by decisiveness and calmness: "Okay, just do as you say." Alternatively, you can ...... like this"
Angel whispered a few words in Tang Jie's ear, and Tang Jie was immediately overjoyed: "In this way, Camilla still doesn't give in?"
