308: Attack it unprepared
The vanguard was followed by the main force of the army under the command of Elrens, including 300 Templars led by Paros, 900 Red Blooded Wolf Riders and Orc Coalition led by Lecaon, and 3,000 elite Anatonian Legions, who set off on the ships of the Illyrian naval fleet.
The air force is covered by the Eastern Floating Fleet commanded by Dmitry, in addition to the Black Dragon Jole and the Dragon Maiden Mirina, there is also the Knights of Partanon led by Nicias, who can participate in air battles and support the army with their war puppets, which are the reserve forces of this operation and will be put into use at a critical moment.
The total number of troops in this expedition was about 12,000, and although this number was not much, all of them were elite soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong. After some busy arrangements, all the troops finally boarded their respective vehicles one after another, entered the vast sea in batches in the dense fog, and set off towards the Apennines continent across the Adriatic Sea.
Half a day passed quickly, and the fleet headed west at maximum speed, with calm sails along the way. By this time the fog in the sea had gradually dissipated, but the sky was still full of dark clouds, and the drizzle kept falling from the sky, and the sky was very gray.
Elrens stood in front of the bow of the flagship heavy cruiser Delos and looked into the distance, but due to the weather, there were no other targets on the vast sea except for them, and the Apennines in the distance was nowhere to be seen.
After a while, the mermaid princess Vanessa looked left and right and walked out of the cabin, and saw the dragon queen. She walked briskly forward and stood beside her, her big eyes glinting as clear as the ocean.
"Why are you alone, your little lovers?" asked the princess tentatively.
Elrence smiled and said, "Where did I get a few little lovers? Ernie didn't get a good night's rest last night. I woke up too early this morning, and I'm catching up on sleep. ”
Vanessa blinked: "What about the handsome Latin princess? I see the way she looks at you, it is clear that she has a good impression of you, don't lie to me." And the dragon girl Milena, although she usually seems to be very cold, but the girl's instinct tells me that she also likes you a little. So it seems. You're very popular with girls, no wonder you're so gentle with me in your dreams. ”
The dragon smiled bitterly and didn't speak, of course he knew what Nomia wanted to do. But the main thing is gratitude. As for Milena, the two of them are childhood sweethearts, so should they be more brother and sister?
The mermaid princess looked at him for a moment, and then asked, "Why have you been standing here watching the sea, and are you worried about the next battle?"
Elrens shook his head: "Now that everything has been arranged. There's nothing to worry about. If in the end we fail. That's also providence, even so, I'm not afraid, there is no one in this world who can kill me at once!, but I don't think there will be such a possibility, with the help of your mermaid kingdom, even if the battle situation is unfavorable, we can retreat safely. ”
Vanessa's eyes were shining, and the biggest advantage of the man in front of her was that he was confident at all times and never flinched, and this feeling was also when he was unconscious. The greatest reliance in dreams. Under the love in her heart, the princess couldn't help but throw herself into the arms of the other party again. Hugged his waist tightly.
Ellens couldn't push the other party away, so he gently put his arm around her delicate fragrant shoulder and asked, "How far is this from the destination?"
Vanessa, who had already explored the Adriatic Sea with the warriors of the Mermaid Kingdom a few days before her departure, was quite familiar with the situation in this area, and immediately replied: "Now that we have reached the middle of the Adriatic Sea, we will soon see an uninhabited island in the sea, which is close to Pescara, and a team of Tiger Shark Knights sent as scouts will meet us there, and after confirming that there is nothing unusual on the other side, we can immediately attack......"
Time passed quickly, and after a few moments, a barren island of volcanic rock appeared in front of the fleet.
The group stopped for a moment, and joined a small group of Tiger Shark Riders who were listening to the enemy in front of them. The good news was that the port of Pescara was temporarily suspended due to the previous fog, and even the only part of the guards took the opportunity to laze and drink, which was a good time for a sneak attack. The bad news is that due to the fact that Western Rome has declared war, the magic mystery locks in some important ports have been strengthened. Just yesterday, a cardinal of the Holy See of Light was sent to Pescara to elevate the Locks to wartime status, and it may be difficult to break them in a short period of time with the magic of the narwhal alone.
Upon learning of this, the group sped up and informed the floating fleet ahead to fully support the Merfolk Kingdom army in their attack on Pescara's Lost Lock.
The fog on the Adriatic Sea had completely cleared, the weather had improved, and some of the ships began to sail gradually, only to meet the expeditionary fleet approaching in a straight line. In the face of such a strange group of steel giants, they were so surprised that they were simply dumbfounded, although it was said that Western Rome had announced its intervention in the Balkan hegemony war, but for the general public, the day when the enemy would kill them should be far away, and they did not expect that this day would come today!
The merchant and fishing boats scattered in panic, and since they were about to reach their destination, Elrens and the others did not bother to pursue these civilians, so they let them escape.
At this time, in the port of Pescara, the workers, merchants, sailors, and guards slowly left the rest point to begin their work for the day. Due to the fog before, there were almost no ships entering the port, and some merchant ships preparing to leave the port also seemed to be extremely weak.
The distant sunset finally lifts the stratus clouds, and the golden afterglow casts on the sparkling sea, making the scenery particularly moving. However, on such a lazy summer evening, a shrill siren outside the harbor suddenly broke the silence of Pescara.
The people who were working on the dock turned their heads to look, only to see that several ships that had just been out to sea were rushing back at full speed like crazy, and the whistle on the ships was loud, and I don't know what happened in the road......
