"Water monsters?!"

Iscus was taken aback, the Southern Fleet has been stationed on the island of Paros for many years, and ordinary demonic beasts will not approach here at all, how could a water monster suddenly appear and attack a patrol ship?

The commander of the navy was full of doubts and asked the staff officer beside him: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with this, what do you think?"

After a little thought, the staff officer replied: "Some time ago, I heard that there is an abyssal sea dragon in the Nicaean Navy, which often lurks underwater to attack warships patrolling the waters off Giant's Harbor, so the Northern Fleet is very passive. Could it be that the water monster that suddenly attacked us this time also has something to do with it?"

Hearing this, Iscus also came to his senses. He had heard about it from His Excellency the Field Marshal. At that time, the Northern Navy had sent large forces to round up the water monster many times, but they all returned in vain, and failed to defeat the sea monster and lost a lot of its own, so that Pella's military supplies almost came to a standstill. Recently, however, the sea dragon suddenly disappeared, and the transportation of materials was relieved.

No one understands what this sea monster that suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly is all about, could it be that it has changed its target and attacked the Southern Fleet instead? The strength of the Southern Fleet cannot be compared with the Northern Fleet, if it is indeed the Abyss Sea Dragon lurking on the periphery waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, then I am afraid that they will only be able to retreat in the harbor in the future!

Thinking of this, Iscus's heart tightened. He immediately ordered the staff officer: "You immediately dispatch a detachment of cruisers to the place where the incident occurred, remember to be cautious, retreat immediately if there is danger, and do not venture into a wave battle!"

"Understood, please rest assured, your subordinates will definitely live up to their mission!" the staff officer said loudly, and immediately turned around and left.

Iscus looked at the back of his subordinates as they left and sighed deeply. He turned around, and the boundless sea in the distance was windless and waveless, but behind this calm, how many dangers were hidden?

Half a day later, the commander of the fleet, who had been waiting anxiously, received another piece of bad news.

A herald shouted and rushed in: "Report to the commander, something happened to the cruiser detachment just dispatched!"

Iscus was taken aback and immediately asked, "Something happened, what the hell is going on?!"

"The exact circumstances are not yet clear. The herald hesitated for a moment, then replied: "But it is certain that the fleet was also attacked on the way to the location of the patrol ship, and as in the case of the patrol ship, the propulsion system was damaged and could not be moved!"

"The other side only attacked the propulsion system, and the rest of the parts were not damaged?" Iscus asked, confused.

"That's right, and the other side didn't continue to attack, only destroyed the propulsion system and immediately dived away. ”

Iscus did not continue to speak, and by this time he had a strong premonition that this was definitely a conspiracy, and that it was most likely not the work of the Nicaeans, as they had no need to show mercy to the Southern Navy. As for who the other party is and why they are doing this, they still don't have any clue!

An invisible pressure enveloped the fleet commander, and just as he was thinking hard about countermeasures, another staff officer beside him hurriedly persuaded: "Your Excellency, now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, it is better to be cautious. I suggest that you leave the fortress and take refuge in the flagship, and at the same time call all the ships back to the vicinity of the harbor for fortification, and then contact His Excellency the Marshal for urgent help. ”

Iscus thought for a moment and felt that this made sense, and was about to give the order, when he saw a herald rush in. The commander of the fleet suddenly became so nervous that his face changed, what is going on today, bad news one after another, what is it this time ?!

"Report to the Commander, there's a call from Delos asking for a man claiming to be Princess Cleo to negotiate with you. ”

Princess Pera asked to negotiate with me? Iscus was surprised, but soon came to his senses.

Princess Cleo is likely to be the commander of the small Pera force that attacked Delos some time ago, and it is rumored that Princess Central Orni was kidnapped by her accomplice, the black dragon Elrens. In this way, it is not surprising that now that she has control of Delos, she offers to negotiate with herself. After all, the two sides are semi-hostile, and the distance is so close, if there is no negotiation, sooner or later a fight will break out for various reasons.

Merely...... What exactly did she want to talk to herself, and why did she choose this time to bring it up, and what did it have to do with all the accidents that happened today?

Thinking of this, Iscus gritted his teeth and replied in a deep voice: "The other party has bad intentions, let's leave the fortress through the secret passage first, and go to a safe place on the flagship, and then it's not too late to talk to them." ”

After saying that, the fleet commander led the group out of the office. The staff officer beside him moved his mouth, and his expression stopped talking, he was a little puzzled in his heart, although the flagship of the Southern Navy has a strong defense, sometimes the safest place is the most dangerous place. Some of the enemy's previous actions are not to lure the snake out of the hole, but to get the commander back into the flagship!

After a while, Iscus and the others walked through a long secret passage to the port. Soon he ascended to the huge and thick flagship of the Southern Navy and came to the communications room. In the center of this place is a large crystal ball, in which the blurred face of the eldest princess is emerging. Two years ago, Iscus had seen Cleo in Pera with his own eyes, and he was amazed at the beauty of this princess, but now when he saw it again, he only felt that the other party was extremely hateful!

Despite this, the fleet commander still had to respect the other party's identity on the surface, and immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Your Royal Highness Princess Cleo, your subordinate is none other than the commander of the Southern Fleet, Iscus, I wonder what is important about your sudden summoning?"

The princess in the crystal ball smiled and replied, "Your Excellency Iscus, the current situation in Pera is very passive, and all fronts, including the navy, are in a very dangerous situation. After deliberation, my mother, Queen Mother Olympias, has decided to recall the Southern Fleet, and I hope you will immediately prepare for mobilization and lead the entire fleet to support as soon as possible!"

Iscus was taken aback and was speechless for a while!

The Southern Fleet has always been under the orders of the royal family of Pera, but since Emperor Alexander IV fell into a coma, the Ajid family has declined. The fleets of the navy, while ostensibly still respecting the royal family, were in fact under the command of Field Marshal Ptolemy
