Chapter 172: Fierce Battle at Sea

As the baron's words fell, a large number of dragon-headed ships appeared on the horizon opposite them, and between those dragon-headed ships were many small sailing ships scattered together, their flags were particularly bright, but they were particularly dazzling in the eyes of the baron.

"The fleet of the usurper Frida!" The baron gritted his teeth, his voice full of hatred.

And all the warriors around him tensed their nerves, especially the noble warrior who had just spoken, he couldn't wait to slap himself now, what did he say about it?

Not only were they on the other party's ship, including the crew and Countess Hilby, but they were also nervous, and even they were a little uneasy in their hearts.

"Why? Why is the rebellious fleet here? At this moment, Countess Hilby's mind was a question mark with a capital letter, this was a situation she never expected, after all, according to Frida, Sibeck met the army of the Dillman here, they just used transport ships, and the army was transported to the shore, so Countess Hilby naturally thought that this blockade of Sibek would be a very easy thing.

But now that he had encountered a rebellious fleet, he knew that things had changed a little.

"What are we going to do next, Lord Earl?" Countess Hilby's side, his adjutant was also solemn at this moment, the sea here is not as good as the shore, the loss in the battle here will be much greater than on the shore, and it is even very likely to lead to the sinking of the fleet, after all, if you encounter a disadvantage, you can evacuate if you want to, and turning the direction of the ship is a big project.

Countess Hilby groaned and said, "Send a small ship to ask them about their intentions, and try not to fight if they can, our target this time is not them." ”

In fact, according to her thoughts, she wanted to start fighting now, but she knew that she couldn't do it, after all, defeating Sibeck's Dierman talent was the most important thing now, and once those Diermans succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And in her eyes, at least for now, those rebels are not enemies, and they are still "allies" until the end of this victory.

It's just that it was clear that this time she was going to be disappointed, and just as the messenger she sent approached, she was directly shot by an arrow from the other side, and the arrow pierced the messenger's chest fiercely, killing her right under her nose.

"Bastard!" Countess Hilby roared angrily, her eyes turning red, and she was slapping her in the face nakedly.

Not only her, but the soldiers beside her also had a look of righteous indignation.

"Lord Earl, let's send these rebels to death!"

"Kill them and avenge our comrades!"

The voices of the first time to ask for war came and went.

Countess Hilby hesitated, but seeing the look on her soldiers' faces, she knew that this battle was inevitable.

She took a deep breath and slowly raised her sword to aim it at Stephanie's fleet.

"All the ships obey the orders and attack them, and let the rebellious ways know who is the master of the kingdom of Denmaka, for my king!"

Countess Hilby roared angrily, at this moment she completely gave up what task was not a task, she had only one thought in her heart, that is, to annihilate the other party, and she was also very confident in how huge her team was, what did the other party do with only ten or twenty dragon ships?

"For my king!"

"For my king!"

The fleet is mighty and moving, slowly sailing towards each other, there is no such thing as cannonballs in this era, and if you rely on bows and arrows, the hit rate is simply ridiculously low, ninety percent of the arrows are shot to the sea, the arrows can not withstand such losses, so the battle at sea must be close to each other, and when the distance between the two sides is close, then put the long ladder to the opponent's bed, and carry out short combat through the long ladder.

……

"Lord Baron, they're attacking us!"

The sailor, who was in charge of estimating the distance between the two sides, was sweating all over his palms at this moment, and his heart was beating to the extreme.

"I'm not blind yet, I can still see such things!" The baron stared at the sea and said impatiently.

Hearing the baron's words, the sailor immediately shut his mouth, but kept estimating the distance before reporting to the baron.

The baron was also very nervous, it was not the first time he had participated in a war at sea, but he would never like such a thing, if he could, he would prefer to be in his own territory.

This may seem incredible to a brave and warlike Wikipedian, but he is such a person.

But this does not mean that he is a person who does not understand war, and that he was sent here means that Stephanie absolutely believes in him and thinks that he can win!

"Now is it, blow the trumpet!" Hearing the last count of the sailor's report, the baron let out a long roar, and the whole dragon head ship was immediately busy.

"Woo woo woo ~ "

The low sound of the horn, centered on the ship, spread in all directions, and all the ships moved, either changing their direction or changing their orientation.

"Hmph, carving insect skills!" Countess Hilby, who was not far away, snorted coldly, she was a master of naval warfare, and the other party's formation was simply not worth mentioning in front of her.

The fleet continued to move, only changing positions as she opened the hole, and before long, her fleet seemed to turn into an arrow, and she was about to plunge this arrow into the heart of the opposing fleet!

Suddenly, Countess Hilby's brow furrowed, and for some reason, her heart was suddenly uneasy, as if there was a great fear.

She didn't know where this feeling came from, but she had an extra heart, she was able to survive so many naval battles, and her instincts saved her countless times, which can be said to be indispensable.

"That's the commander of the other side."

Countess Hilby muttered to herself, the two fleets were already at a close distance, and she could even clearly see the people on the other side's ship.

And the guy who wore the other party in special clothes knew at a glance that he was the commander of the opponent's fleet!

It's just that...... Why is there no fear in the other party's eyes?

Hill was even more uneasy than the countess, but she could not stop the attack with her inexplicable instincts, and this time the victory was in her hands.

In the blink of an eye, the ships of both sides collided together, and the battle officially began, and the arrows along the way did not bring much damage to both sides, but the next place will definitely be a Shura field.

"For Her Majesty!"

Stephanie's troops were not the least cowardly, drawing their weapons and roaring at their enemies.

Countess Hilby's ship did not engage the opponent in close quarters, but stopped not far from the battlefield, she was the commander, not the soldier, her task was to observe the whole situation and give orders, not to send them to death like a reckless man, and the other party was the same.

"The commander of the other side is also a veteran." Countess Hilby said secretly, she kept searching her mind for information about the other party, but she didn't find a matching face among the naval masters who had taken refuge with Stephanie.

After thinking for a while, she didn't expect that Countess Hilby gave up, instead of thinking about who the other party was, it was better to take the other party down directly, and then she would naturally know, she had no doubt about the victory in this battle, after all, the situation was very good now.

"Oh no, Lord Count, there's a fleet on our left!"

"Right! There are also on the right! ”

At this moment, the two sailors on her ship, who were in charge of observing the guard, roared, and their voices were full of fear.

These two voices exploded in Countess Hilby's ears like thunder, and she was cold.

She finally knew where her uneasiness was coming from, it was an ambush!

She glanced at both sides, the flotillas on both sides were flying Stephanie's flags, which was particularly dazzling, and Countess Hilby estimated in her heart that the fleets on both sides were not much, and they could only be regarded as partial divisions, but the positions they occupied were very tricky, and they formed a triangle with the main force of the other party to surround her to death.

"Retreat!" Countess Hilby roared angrily, she knew that she had to make a decision now, it would be too late if she didn't leave at this time, and when the other party got closer, it would be three ways to strangle her, she had been in a hundred battles, she naturally knew what a dangerous thing this was, and she didn't want to explain herself here.

"Retreat!"

"Let's go!"

As her order was given, all the Wikiwarriors who were still fighting were stunned, they were at a loss for what to do, and they were about to retreat.

It's just that there is no time for them to think, they can only obey orders!

But this is not modern, an order to retreat on the battlefield is a demon who eats human flesh and blood, and in a moment, an avalanche was caused among her soldiers, everyone was struggling to flee, and every time they turned their heads, there would be an extra knife mark or axe mark on their back, and no one would mind giving it the moment their opponent turned around.

Looking at her fallen soldiers, Countess Hilby's heart was dripping blood, but she was helpless.

"Damn it, damn it......" she murmured, her whole body trembling.

Eventually, her soldiers managed to escape back into their respective ships, and then set sail without hesitation.

Watching the other slowly leave, Stephanie's side cheered as they triumphed.

"Lord Baron, please let us chase them, we must catch them all!" One of the warriors said in a high-spirited manner.

But the baron scratched him fiercely, spat him, and ignored his plea.

What are you kidding, the order he got was just to entangle the other party, or intercept the other party, it was not easy for the other party to want to stop, and now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need for him to waste a lot of strength.

He stared blankly at the other man's departing back, pondering the meaning of Stephanie's order......
