Antoros

The sun is rising, the harbor in the morning light is beautiful, like a crescent moon on the edge of the turquoise sea surrounded by mist, the white waves on the sea, the shallow crystal clear sea can still see the fish cruising, the castle at the top of the port hill is like bathed in a golden light, the golden light shines on the corridor of the castle, Myronlis pushed open his father's door,

This is one of the 2 garrison castles on the island of Antoros, a strong fortress with a length and width of 350 meters, completely built of the island's gray rock, enough to resist the attack from large trebuchets, the Normans who built this fortress at the beginning obviously had the intention of holding on for a long time, and then the Dunkel people took over, because the island is far away from the Duchy of Dunkel, the garrison on the island has always been vacant, but there is a garrison of about 400 people,

These two strong fortresses were also abandoned, although it was already the middle of winter, the four spire-like tower sentinels loomed in the mist, and the damp walls could still see emerald vines hanging down from above, occasionally swept up by the cold wind to make a crackling sound on the wall, this fortress was built according to the scale of 1,500 people, but at the moment it was overcrowded, full of sailors who had withdrawn from the battleship, people came and went, mixed with a lot of wounded soldiers, densely lying in the middle of the fortress

The battle-hardened Admiral of the Imperial Fleet was standing in front of the window of the top room of the main castle, his once grim face covered with haggardness, and only a pair of eyes shining like starlight looking at the sea in the distance.

"Is there any feedback from the Admiralty?"

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Merendi turned around, his eyes were bloodshot, 7,000 sailors only came back less than 3,000 people, for this fleet admiral who had a high reputation within the Imperial Navy, it was like a slap in the face, with ten to one, it was still such a record, he could imagine that at this moment in the Imperial Admiralty, I was afraid that those who were dissatisfied with him had already laughed forward and leaned back!

"This is an order sent by the carrier pigeons of the Admiralty this morning," Myronlis hesitated for a moment before handing over the text in his hand and said with an ugly expression

"Has the main force of the empire been transferred to Amur?" Merendi's face changed slightly, his eyes swept over, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of surprise, and he sighed and said, "Sure enough, this transfer order is undoubtedly equivalent to automatically vetoing the plan I submitted for a battle in the waters of Antolus, compared to the trouble of the empire's henchmen, the Holy Sigster Empire, which has always had great ambitions for the northern territories, is the object that the imperial navy needs the most attention, and Antolus is automatically ignored!"

"At least, the Admiralty didn't completely veto my father's suggestion!" Myronlis said cautiously. The reply mentioned that in view of the arrogant invasion of the infidels navy, the Admiralty had issued an order to transfer the Valician military port 200 miles from here, where will 21 Imperial warships be sent here to support us, and the local garrison fleet of Lisbong, they have 41 warships, although they are not the top warships, but they are also a very good combat force, and they are rushing towards the waters of Antoros with all their might, and if we add our 14 warships, the number can reach 76, which should be enough for a battle”

"Isn't it a joke that there are 76 warships, but only HG and the ruined capital ships!" "Isn't this a joke for the so-called battle!" Melendi tapped her fingers lightly on the table, and her face became more and more gloomy as she listened, without the slightest joy, and said in a condensed voice, "Although the Admiralty's reply sounds very good, I know very well the details of the Valician Navy mentioned in the order..." The 21 Imperial warships in the port of Valicia are all old ships that have been eliminated from the main fleet, and even about half of them have been in service for more than 60 years. ,!

"This arrangement, not so much to help us, is more like sending some useless people to prevaricate us, you can also see the strength of the enemy, without a sufficient number of capital warships, we can't compete with it at all!" "How can this be!" "How can this be!" Myronlis heard what his father said, and his mind flashed the tragic scene of 40 capital ships that day, still helpless against 4 enemy ships, and his face suddenly turned slightly pale, "Could it be that they are so perfunctory about the imperial coastal defense?" Myronlis said with some unwillingness, this cruel fact made him, a young man with a passion for the Imperial Navy, suffer another blow "In the eyes of some people, the Imperial Coastal Defense is just a way for them to grab fame and wealth" The old Melendi smiled disdainfully at the corner of his mouth, stared into the distance, and said with an indignant expression, "And I can say with great certainty that this arrangement is definitely from the hand of that guy from Featon"

"First transfer the main force in the name of fighting against Holy Sigster, and then use some incapable fleet to hold us back!

"Marquis Fetton, what did my father say about Marquis Fetton, Chief of Naval Operations?" Myronlis was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, Marquis Felton was a well-known brave general in the Imperial Navy,

It is said that his fleet is known as the Swift Wind Fleet because of the extremely fast speed of the assault, and his name and tough command style have attracted the attention of many young people who want to join the Imperial Navy, "It's him, last year, in order to cooperate with the army's northward advance, the famous Admiral Mura led the fleet north along the Balo Sea in Central Europe, and it was Phamton's fleet that was ordered to meet him" Merendi's voice stopped, his eyebrows rose slightly, and he said with a little disdain" As a result, this guy did not wait for the arrival of the main force to attack, and was besieged by the Mura fleet in the port of Sri for 7 days, and was almost wiped out.

Although he had many connections in the Admiralty, in the end, it was personally recognized by the Emperor Xià and this record was counted on my head, but this despicable villain was also promoted to the Chief of Operations of the Admiralty by virtue of this battle, "From the admirals of the two fleets transferred to support this time, it can be seen that behind the Valician fleet is the old Admiral Ayazer, and behind the local fleet of Lisbenge is his rival Admiral Ariana, the meaning of which is self-evident!" He wants to use the hands of the enemy to eradicate dissidents in one fell swoop and clear the way for himself to become the head of the admiralty."
