The fat man stood at the bow of the Dragon-class battleship, looking at the port of Antolus in the distance, and his heart was flooded with fluctuations that were no smaller than the wind and waves under the ship's side, this is Antorus, the pearl of the Obarro island chain, the most important support point for his imperial naval strategy,

I have examined this name countless times on the map, and the things on the map are always abstract, the Obaro island chain on the map, from the point of view, this series of sea passages composed of scattered islands, so that the Icadivar continent hanging overseas and the main continent Obaro are connected together,

It can be said unceremoniously that without the island chain centered on Antoros, the empire's coveting of the O'Barro continent will be delayed for at least 30 years, and whoever masters Antolus will have the initiative in the sea area, but unfortunately in this era when the sea power is not obvious, almost no one will realize this, even if the Gallic Empire with a strong navy still only uses the navy as a supplement to the army, not an independent military branch "whoosh" The bow of the ship broke through the wind and waves, and flew like an arrow, and a dragon's tooth battleship came straight to the fat man's seat from the direction of the port.

The gently split waves from the bow of the ship, the water marks slowly dissipated towards the rear of the battleship, and finally the smaller Dragon's Tooth battleship slowly stopped next to the Dragon-class battleship, and the figure of the Admiral Dustrunkai appeared on the deck, and he walked along the sampan between the two ships to the Dragon-class battleship, "What about Your Majesty?" Dustrunkai stepped on the deck of the battleship and asked the guards who received him

"Your Majesty is in the bow of the ship!" replied the guard, and Dustrenkai walked to the bow of the ship, and sure enough, he saw the majestic figure of the Falcon standing there,

"Is there any news from Normandy?" the fat man turned from the front, and the sunlight shone through his back,

A few days earlier, he had received a report that the Southern Army had breached Baraona, the gateway to Kyoto in Normandy, and on 25 February, the advance of the Southern Army had arrived under the city of Kyoto in Normandy. On the 26th, the Southern Army launched a fierce attack from the four gates of the Normandy capital, and finally used Thor to collapse the west gate of Normandy and Kyoto, and the army entered the city with unstoppable momentum.

By the morning of the 28th, all 4,500 defenders of Normandy and Kyoto had been annihilated, and the city was now completely under control......

The first phase of the goal was a success, although the coalition army suffered a crushing defeat, but Nilai was not bad, and the remaining 2,000 troops led by him had retreated to the safety of El Alamein, and the Southern Army really lived up to expectations. In just half a month of landing, not only did they defeat the main forces of Normandy, but they also controlled the north-central part of Normandy.

Reposti's expeditionary force also swept through the middle of the Normandian urban agglomeration from south to north, and with the addition of more and more Salanders, the number of troops had exceeded 40,000, becoming an important military force, and the convergence of the two armies was unstoppable.

Now that the Normans are left with less than a third of the northeast, the battle is stable, at least for now,

The fat man is well aware. Normandy is not an opponent of the Empire, its real goal is the behemoth behind Normandy, and the war belonging to the Empire has just begun. The front is just a warm-up,

As the fat man's henchman, Dustrenkai knew what his lord really cared about. The eyes of the Imperial Navy are the Gallic Imperial Navy, how can His Majesty's gaze be just a Normandy Kyoto, he said slowly, "According to some of our eyeliner reports in the Gallic Empire, the Normans have begun to ask for help from the Gallic Empire."

"What's the reaction of the Gallic Empire?" the fat man raised his head and looked at the port of Antoros, which was getting closer and closer in the distance, after more than a month of construction, the original port had expanded several times, and more than 30 docks were lined up along the interior of the arc-shaped harbor, like a row of pearls inlaid on the silver shore,

The group of imperial ships that arrived in advance crowded the entire harbor, countless white sails, like a forest, towering in a docile harbor position, sailors on the harbor constantly carrying supplies, waves gently blowing on the shore, flashing silver waves, calm winter Obaro Sea,

Calm like soft woolen satin spread out, and like condensed jasper, without the slightest blemish,

"Just as His Majesty expected"

Dustrunkai smiled at the corner of his mouth and said lightly" How could a continental hegemon like the Gallic Empire take the Normans who are basically regarded as barbarians to heart, and this year is an extremely important election of regional consuls, and they are too busy in their own country, where can they still care about the Normands, but as the suzerain, the Gallic Empire routinely ordered several kingdoms near Normandy to send reinforcements, and the responses of several kingdoms to the orders of the Gallic Empire were different, and the southern army deduced that the countries had no intention of rescuing, and if the opportunity allowed, Lord Statunco asked His Majesty to allow him to continue to advance, and strive to complete the occupation of the entire Normandy within a month"Hehe, it seems that even an honest guy like Statunko will ignore the real danger when things are going well!" The fat man heard the request of the Southern Army, and the corners of his mouth smiled easily,

The blue sky and white clouds in front of you are transparent and deep. The morning sun shy through the clouds, shining on the front of the harbor looks particularly soft, the fish swimming and leaping, on the calm sea surface to draw a shallow looming water line,

"Your Majesty means that the countries will send reinforcements?" Dustrenkay flashed with a hint of confusion on his face, and said uncertainly, "Do they still want to save their rivals?" I heard that the Normans were only almost appointed as regional governors this time, so they shouldn't be ......."

"Only if the strength is equal is called an opponent, if the strength is not equal, it is not an opponent, but a target that can obtain benefits" The fat man took a deep breath, interrupted Dustronike's words, and withdrew his gaze from the distant scenery "If the previous Normans were a brave wolf, then this wild wolf is also crippled now, and has lost the strength to compete, and the countries are waiting, like a group of hungry wolves waiting for an opportunity, and they are not moving now, just because the wolves have not seen the bait worthy of their troops!"

The fat man's voice stopped, and he suddenly asked Dustrenkay, "If you were a Norman, what would you do if you were in a desperate situation and a large part of the country was lost?" "I will use those occupied lands as bait, and whoever is willing to help me, I will give him those lands!" Dustrenkai said with a sudden realization on his face, "You are right, this is the beginning of our war!" The fat man nodded appreciatively,

There was a slight shock under his feet, the battleship landed, and the fat man saw that on the high part of the mountains on the island, he could also see white snow traces, like a white scarf, and the beautiful scenery that went straight into the sky was beautiful and calm.

The noisy voices of the port were heard, the peace was broken, and the world began to be real.

The bustling port in front of me coincides with the names of places that have been examined countless times on the map. (To be continued.) )
