The other side.

Far away in the sea battlefield outside the central continent, during the time when he was hiding in the small archipelago with his fleet to rest, he has been watching the situation of this entire battlefield through the elven druids.

Recently, it has not been an ordinary bustle in this part of the sea.

Two Sakura players and one Aztec player form a combined fleet at sea, and the combined fleet of Europa players is inextricably linked.

It was a spectacular scene.

An astonishing number of steel battleships directly occupied a large area of sea after deploying the formation, and the whole fleet fired a salvo, and the shells were really overwhelming.

Not to mention the rest, after the three exotic players are united, but the number of battleships is dozens, not to mention the number of destroyers.

Of course, the Europa side is not bad either.

The combined fleet formed by the two Europa players after joining forces is also quite large-scale, and this period of time can be regarded as a back-and-forth battle with the combined fleet of foreign players.

After listening to the report, after confirming the fighting style of the joint fleets of the two sides, it was clear in his heart.

Looking at what the Europa Combined Fleet has done during this time, it is clear that it does not want to take risks, and the situation has finally improved, but it can't be wasted back

So, they want to play a little more steadily, and then find the right opportunity to do it again.

That's not wrong, but Bao Han didn't have time to wait for them to take their time.

Unlike the fleets that are on an expedition, the forces that are fighting in this area are not far from their nearest ports, and they can return in a little more than a month at the latest.

Moreover, two Sakura players and one Aztec player are still allies.

Even if there is an emergency, it can be used to make an emergency call at a friendly port, or even borrow a batch of resources.

So, in this case, naturally, there is no need to carry a supply ship.

But it is precisely because of this that they need to return every once in a while to be on the safe side.

The three fleets did not return at the same time, but the two fleets stayed in the outer waters to contain the combined fleet of Europa, allowing one of them to return to port for supplies and rest, maintaining a state of rotation, so as not to give the opposite combined Europa fleet an opportunity.

This time was apparently the same, and after breaking away from the formation of the United Grand Fleet, the Aztec fleet was slowly heading towards its own port.

As an old rival, the Europa Combined Fleet, of course, knows the other party's supply methods, and they have been suppressed by three to two before, but now they finally have a two-to-two situation, of course they have to do something.

In this way, the combined fleet of Europa maintained a speed of twenty knots all the way, and rushed directly into the sea area of the foreign player.

In the face of the enemy's actions, the remaining two Sakura fleets must have to stop them, and it is impossible to watch this combined Europa fleet rush to their port.

Otherwise, the port that was attacked would have suffered heavy losses.

The appearance of the two Sakura fleets was also expected by the Europa fleet, and the main guns of the battleships quickly turned, and as soon as they entered their own range, the two fleets directly launched mutual fire.

Artillery roared, steel warships broke through the sea, and a fierce naval battle began again.

In the sky, the giant eagle flew quickly, constantly sending the latest information back.

After confirming the situation, Bao Han directly ordered the fleet to quickly start an operation. Although it was still daytime, with the elven druids mastering the aerial vision and the dual reconnaissance of the radar equipment, it was not difficult for the fleet to rely on its speed advantage to avoid those large fleets at sea.

It took the Aztec fleet nineteen days to reach the vicinity of the harbor because of the battleships, and the lighthouses on the outskirts had already discovered their presence.

With the heaviest battleship in tonnage taking the lead, one by one the battleships followed the signal and slowly sailed into the port.

Rumble!!!

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion roar, and one of the battleships let out a mournful roar.

The violent shock caused by the impact of the explosion caused the Aztec sergeants, who were standing on the deck of the battleship to completely relax, panic on the spot.

But that's just the beginning.

Although the battleship had begun to slow down as it approached the port, the inertia carried by the exaggerated tonnage was too great.

It's not like they can stop if they want to.

Violent explosions rang out one after another, and several other battleships on the left and right also suffered one after another, which was completely unexpected by everyone.

At that time, the members of the logistics unit who were standing in the port and were preparing to receive the battleship were also momentarily confused

What the hell is going on?

Why is it so good, why did there suddenly happen a series of explosions?

However, they were confused, and the personnel on the battleship were even more confused than they were.

Because after ruling out all possibilities, the only conclusion they could draw was that their battleship hit a mine!

However, they were actually attacked by mines outside their own port, which is so funny that no one will believe it.

The continuous explosion of mines directly caused great damage to the battleships at the front of the fleet, one of which had already begun to billowing smoke.

The commander-in-chief of this fleet had a green face at this time.

This incident directly nailed him to the pillar of shame.

The three battleships of the Aztec fleet were actually sunk by a large number of mines in their own harbor that came from nowhere.

And after receiving the front-line information, the Aztec players were also stunned on the spot, and even wondered if they had received fake news.

Because this matter is really outrageous.

After calming down his emotions a little, he slowly walked up to one of the ministers below and asked, "Let me ask again, our three battleships were sunk by mines outside our harbor?" ”

At this time, the minister who was questioned was already in a cold sweat.

"Yes."

"How's the harbor now?"

"The threat of mines has made it impossible for the fleet to enter the port, and the ships inside do not dare to run out easily, and are currently moving towards other ports en masse."

"And what about the losses of the fleet?"

"According to the report sent back by telegram from the commander-in-chief of the fleet, three battleships were sunk, one was seriously damaged, and one was moderately damaged. Later, due to the emergency turn of the entire fleet, the rear warships collided with each other, causing varying degrees of damage. ”

The minister's voice became smaller and smaller, looking at His Majesty's increasingly gloomy face, his whole heart was already hanging in his throat, and even the surrounding attendants and guards didn't even dare to breathe at this moment.

"So, where did the mines come from outside the harbor?"

"For the time being, it's not clear for ...... time being"

Finally, the Aztec player, who had been patient, couldn't hold back anymore and broke out.

He kicked the minister over directly, and then shouted angrily: "Then why don't you go and investigate?!" ”

After that, the Aztec port was also thoroughly investigated.

Everyone knows that those mines can't be conjured out of thin air, someone must have placed them there.

However, after a thorough investigation, no results were found.

Since the beginning of the war, every port along the coast has been patrolled 24 hours a day, and with the vigilance of the lighthouse on the sea, the entire defense line can be said to be extremely tight.

Under such circumstances, if someone drove a boat with so many mines to the sea outside the port to lay them out, it was completely impossible to find it.

Unless, they are all blind.

Of course, this result was clearly not satisfactory to the minister who was in charge of investigating the matter thoroughly.

"You say it's impossible for someone to lay so many mines in that area? Do you think Your Majesty can accept this answer?! I'll give you another month, and you'll have to find out the results for me. Otherwise, I'll let you die before I'm done! ”

The minister squirted at the head of the port.

The losses from the sinking of three battleships were simply too great, and they were completely astronomical.

The most important thing is that it is still in the middle of the war, and it is the time when the battleships are needed the most, and if this happens at such a time, the situation will only get worse!

However, if they continue to investigate in this direction, they can only go all the way to death.

Through the vision provided by the elven druids, the movement of the Aztec fleet is always locked, and with the speed of the fleet, it can be said that it is always one step ahead of them.

There is a lighthouse in the port area, and they really can't get close, but the underwater combat troops who went out with the army this time are no problem at all!

With a little more time and energy in the daytime, the salamander warriors can sneak all the way under the surface of the sea with the mines and complete the mine arrangement.

Even if you want to surface in the middle of the sea to take a breath of relief, such a small unit, coupled with the distance, the other party will not be able to detect it at all.

In this era, the removal of mines and landmines is extremely troublesome and thorny, and at the same time, it carries huge risks, and it is impossible to do it in a short period of time.

Not to mention that the whole area was full of mines, and the beach next to it didn't know if it was safe.

For the sake of insurance, but also to allow the battleship to be repaired in time, and more importantly, to replenish supplies, the Aztec fleet had to sail to the next port.

And the inclusion that has been locking the other party's movements, of course, can't just let them go.

In the past few months of the expedition, they have already mapped the map of this sea area, and on the premise of confirming the direction of the Aztec fleet's movement, according to their current emergency, they will definitely go to the nearest port to their current location.

Even the other party's sailing route can be roughly guessed.

In this way, knowing the destination of the other party, relying on the speed advantage of light warships, Bao Han ran directly in front of the Aztec fleet.
