090: Alone in enemy lines
At present, the defense of Delos is quite weak, and in the face of the Eastern Floating Fleet and the Nicaean Floating Fleet, it is simply impossible to repel the enemy in passive defense. After understanding this, several people in the control room of the Crystal Palace glanced at each other, and they all nodded at the same time, and they all made up their minds that they must not sit still!
Pythia immediately gave up what he had just thought, and changed his suggestion: "The current situation is that there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and if we continue like this, we will definitely not be able to resist, and we can't continue to defend passively!"
"That's right!"
Cleo nodded, her eyes were solemn, and her tone was firm: "We can't sit back and wait for the other party to grow, we must take the initiative to attack before the two sides converge, defeat the Nicaeans first, and then turn back to resist the fleet of Melaculus with all our might! I believe that the warriors of the Eastern Floating Fleet are just being deceived, and it is impossible for them to betray the motherland with Melaglos." As long as the Nicaeans are defeated, they will not be willing to continue to fight against their homeland alone, and we will definitely be able to hold Delos!"
"Sister Cleo, I will fully support you!" Oni clenched her young fist as well.
"In that case, let's get out of here!, I want them to know what kind of enemy they have provoked!" Elrens cried murderously with red eyes, "Damn Nicaea, if you dare to break my shoulder, I will kill them all!!"
Elrens's fighting spirit was very strong at this time, and he failed to recover his black dragon form in the air battle just now, and basically did not play any role, which made him feel very unhappy! Fortunately, as the color has begun to shine slightly, when the first ray of sunlight in the morning appears, the light of the Pella royal secret method can take effect again!
At the thought of a fierce battle about to break out, the dragon could hardly wait to regain his true form again. He was eager to try, his emotions were excited, and the violent cells all over his body seemed to be shouting, eager to immediately rush into the enemy formation and kill the enemy frantically, using countless blood and desperate screams before death to compensate for the regret of not being able to participate in the battle before, and calm his killing instinct!
The dragon's momentum aroused everyone's fighting spirit, and Pythia immediately proposed: "Elrens said it well, we must teach the Nicaeans a profound lesson!" I am willing to lead the Empire to attack from the flanks first, and after the enemy's firepower is attracted, you can lead the air combat puppets to attack from the front, and attack them from both sides to break them in one fell swoop!"
After thinking about it, Cleo nodded in agreement, "Just do as you say!"
After saying that, several people immediately set off separately. Pythia disconnected communication and began directing the battleship to move at full speed in the direction of the enemy. And Oni is also busy controlling the communicator, releasing the latest jihua to the various air combat teams in ambush. Elrens and Princess Celestia left the Crystal Palace and returned to the hiding place to wait patiently for the Empire to appear......
On the other side, in the air battle ship 'Phrygian Dynasty', the flagship of the Nicaea fleet, everyone looked worried in the face of the increasingly complicated battle situation.
Before the battle, everyone was confident about the attack, but after the initial victory, setbacks followed. First, Melaculus was unable to join them in time to flank Delos, and then when he sent a detachment to test the island late last night, he was rash and destroyed a cruiser. And now, another restless news has arrived!
"An unknown warship has appeared in the southwest, and it looks likely to be the enemy's new air battleship, the Empire?!" Hearing this latest information, Mendes was so surprised that he felt a chill on his body!
Immediately afterward, the anger of the exodus erupted uncontrollably from his heart, and Mendez shouted, "What the hell did Melagolos do!!When he gave up on attacking Delos with us in order to intercept the Empire, and now that this damn air warship has arrived at the battlefield, what is he still rubbing around?!"
The commander of the fleet was under great pressure, and this sortie concentrated almost half of the Nicaeans' air liliang, and the consequences of defeat were unimaginable! In the face of the unpredictable battle situation, he even distorted his face in his rage, his nostrils fanned and gasped, and his fierce eyes looked at Narciss.
"Melaculos said not long ago that his fleet would arrive before noon. The court magician also replied with a gloomy face. This Melaculus was so abrasive that he was trying to take advantage of the fisherman's profits, and one could not help but doubt the sincerity of his cooperation! Although Narsis was very angry in his heart, in order to prevent Mendes's anger from rising further, this idea could not be spoken.
The court mage could only try to ease the atmosphere and said, "The Empire is the latest air warship of the Olympia Alliance, and its speed is much faster than the old warships of the Eastern Floating Fleet. That being the case, it is understandable that such a situation has arisen. ”
"Nonsense!" Mendez continued to roar, "the Empire was badly damaged in the air battle of Giantton Harbor two months ago, how can it be repaired so quickly and completely? Besides, no matter how new and powerful this air battleship is, it is only a single warship, and it is impossible to pose any great threat. Can't Melagramos divide his troops into two lines, one for the interception and the other for the battle? He clearly wants to preserve his strength and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!
Narcisse sighed, he couldn't explain, so he had to change the subject: "Continuing to blame others now won't solve the problem, so it's better to take care of how to deal with the current situation." ”
The palace magician's words also made sense, Mendes nodded helplessly, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart. He paced back and forth in the command room, scrambling over what to do.
After a while, the commander of the fleet raised his head and said resolutely: "This fleet has concentrated more than half of Nicaea's air battles, and there must be no mistakes! We are not prepared for this sneak attack, and we are gullible about the so-called allies, and now the situation on Delos Island is complicated, and the strength of the other party is unknown, and under such circumstances, we cannot continue to take risks and fight." We should give up the offensive on Delos for the time being, slowly retreat in a defensive formation from now on, and step up our intelligence collection when we return, and then attack again when we are fully prepared in the future!"
"What?retreat?!"
Narcissus was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up and objected: "Now that we still have the advantage and the losses are much smaller than the enemy, why should we retreat so easily? An incompletely repaired Imperial air battleship will not change the battle situation much. As long as we wait a few more hours for the fleet of Melagros to arrive, we will have an overwhelming advantage! and the other side has missed the contract first, and we are fully positioned to let them be the vanguard in the rest of the battle. ”
The court magician walked up to Mendez excitedly as he spoke, and continued to dissuade: "In this way, if we win, we can enjoy the success, and if we lose, we will have nothing to lose, and it will not be too late to retreat at that time! You must know that now the other party is killing each other, and the defense on Delos Island is empty, once such a good time is abandoned, there will never be another time in the future! After Bixia learns this news, she will definitely not forgive us!"
The fleet commander gritted his teeth and was about to retort, but at this moment, a communicator suddenly pushed open the door from the outside, and burst in with an anxious face and shouted: "Report to the commander! The opposing air warship has changed course and is rushing towards us at full speed!!"
"What?!" both Narsis and Mendes were taken aback, and they looked at each other, a very ominous premonition flooded through their minds......
After a short while, the Nicaea fleet, under the command of the fleet commander, quickly switched into a defensive formation directly facing the Reich. Due to the damage to the propulsion system in the previous war, the Imperial, which was moving at full speed, was fast, but did not exceed the reaction time of the Nicaeans.
When the opponent finally rushed into the fire coverage, Mendes, who had already been engrossed in the conning tower, staring at the opponent's every move, immediately gave a cold order: "All the maximum firepower volley!!"
In an instant, the hulls of dozens of warships simultaneously emitted earth-shattering huge flames, the light covered the sky, and the rays of light drawn by countless magic cannons instantly rushed through the sky and hit the Empire hard!
The deafening explosion was heard continuously! Although the Empire had made all efforts to evade under the command of Captain Pythia before this, it was still hit by some magic cannons one after another. At this moment, the magic shield outside the hull of the ship trembled, and kept flashing a dazzling huge fire. Fortunately, the powerful defense system of the new air battleship has long been repaired, and the distance between the two sides is relatively long now, so the first round of magic cannon strikes from the Nicaean did not cause any damage to the Empire!
