The northwest coastline of O'Barro, where the sea level is extraordinarily calm,

The golden sun shone on the sea, and there was only a faint light wave on the side of the ship, and a white cloud like silk threads was reflected in the blue sky.

The silence of the sea often means the coming of a storm, so in the old sailor, always unaccustomed to this kind of offshore area where there are almost no big waves, the midday sun, shining directly on the bend of Christopher's coast,

The Marshal of the Duchy of Niryadu, known as the most famous commander of the naval fleet in the Northwest Region, Rod Haru, was holding his head high, proudly admiring the huge group of ships beside him that broke through the sea, and had an extraordinary momentum.

The huge bow of the ship broke through the waves, and countless ripples spread out in circles, colliding with each other between the warships in the middle of the journey, and they all broke or merged into a larger circle.

The sea seemed to be tumbling by an invisible force, and the sea breeze blew the huge naval flag on the mast of the battleship, and the towering sails of the battleship were embroidered with the emblems of several principalities, a force that made Rod Haru feel enchanted

"What a sight to behold!"

While Rodharu admired the blood-pumping fleet, a middle-aged nobleman with a thin figure staggered up from behind the deck,

He stopped next to Rodharu, his gaze swept in front of him with a bit of sharpness, and the coastline looming in the distance made his gaze pause, and said, "Commander Rodharu! can we really go north along the coastline so blatantly?" Although the possibility of interception is very small, there are still a large number of transport ships in the fleet, if they encounter, they will become the first target of the enemy, and every ship here is full of soldiers!"

"Lord Orb is too worried, even if the other party wants to intercept it, it must have a strong enough warship!" Rod Haru grinned slightly. He knew that this marquis from Egbert had always been known for his prudence and caution, and said with some disdain, "Looking at the entire northwest region, except for our Atwood Sea City, who can send such a powerful navy! No, don't get me wrong, I just heard that the barbarian king also has a fleet in his hands!, so it's better to be cautious" Orb looked embarrassed and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand "I've seen their so-called dragon's tooth warship" Rodharu's voice stopped. With a little disdain on the corner of his mouth, he said, "Barbarians are barbarians, they are also called warships, they are not half the size of our heavy warships, not to mention their size, and their weapons are only in the stage of impacting with ramming angles. That's why they cut corners in terms of warships!Do such people need to be so worried?"" Lord Rodharu really deserves to be known as the commander of the sea! After listening to Rodharu's words, Orb's face finally relaxed a little, and he smiled, "After listening to your analysis. Sure enough, it is much more reassuring, the sea city of Atwood, where Lord Rod Haru is located, as an important coastal defense city of the empire, has the most complete dockyard and construction factory. And the experienced sailors, who can compare with the brute who knows nothing! Now I have some hope of meeting the enemy, and I have some expectations. See the heroic posture of Lord Rodharu beating them to the ground!"

"Haha, Lord Orb, you are really too famous! You who proposed this sneak attack plan, I believe that after this battle, it will definitely be famous in the entire northwest!" Rod Haru was squinted by this sycophancy, Orb is the younger brother of Duke Egbert, and also the proposer of this plan, this time as the deputy of the transport fleet, he will lead 20,000 soldiers to arrive in the north of Nesta, as a surprise soldier to the side of the Julils family,

The navy is in charge of Rod Haru, which is located in the hinterland of the battle line The three principalities of Edgar, Atwood Sea City, and Egbert form a combined fleet, plus a large number of large and small transport ships, a total of 144 warships, a powerful fleet with a crew of 5,700 people, full of 21,000 soldiers, quietly went north along the coastline, the whole operation was extremely secret, and he thought that the secrecy was in place.

It's just that they don't know that when the transport fleet leaves the port of Warren, a supply point near the center, and goes north along the coastline,

Almost at the same time, more than 40 warships of the main force of the Falcon Empire Navy also left the port of Antorus, which was located in the center, and pulled fishing nets against prey along the northwest coastline,

At noon, the sun is fierce,

At the bend of the coastline, the waves discharged a series of tumbling white lines, slapping heavily on the cliff wall.

Every time, there are some huge shadows floating,

The towering bow of the warship split the oncoming water, splashing the waves, and the falcon fleet, which was waiting for it, lurked like a ghost in the shadow of the cliff, and the waves hit the side of five of the huge figures, forming patches of white blisters that gurgled and churned.

In the silent wind, it brings people a solemn atmosphere,

The black hull, three rows of neatly arranged baffles, like the scales of a beast in the sea, the high bow of the ship, a hideous black cannon raised a thirty-degree angle into the distance, and the dark metallic luster gave people a terrifying visual impact

"Commander, the secret post located on the cliff wall of Ernest, the news has just arrived that the enemy's transport fleet has passed through the last monitoring point" The adjutant pushed open the hatch with an excited look and handed a map in his hand to Dustrenkay "The speed is eleven knots, the wind is due north, and it is approaching us along the coastline! This is the distribution map of the enemy's current formation!"

"Oh, it's past the Ernest cliff, it's fast!" Dustrenkai raised his head, his eyes burning, as if a flame was burning, and in the cabin, several admirals of the detachment gathered around the table in the middle, really analyzing what "No, how can such a queue fight?" A squadron admiral muttered in a low voice full of confusion, everyone's eyes were on a simulated sand table on the table, which was already filled with small and large triangular chess pieces of several colors,

Red is for large warships, orange for small and medium-sized frigates. Finally, there is the incapacitated green, representing the frigate full of soldiers, several colors are staggered in the sand table, like a beautiful colorful picture, each small flag here represents a real warship, on the flanks of the huge fleet, near the coast of the inconspicuous place, is a chilling black, that represents the position of the falcon fleet.

Gear up and wait for the sword to come out of its sheath!

In order to accurately determine the route and arrival time of this large transport fleet, the Falcon Navy's secret outposts were arranged along the coastline, delivering information every fifty miles, and the entire coastline was under the complete control of the Falcon Army.

Although the distance between the two is still about fifty miles, the Falcon Navy already knows the configuration of this fleet well, and the Admirals of the Falcon Navy have even known in advance the specific location of the other party's flagship, the Glorious Omida, in this huge fleet.

Glorious Omida, the flagship of the Atwood Navy,

It is forty meters long and twenty-five meters wide, and the hull is twenty meters high. Equipped with four heavy trebuchets and twelve light trebuchets, it was fully loaded with 354 sailors. It has been lingering in the minds of the admirals for a long time, and if they can, everyone wants to sink it in the first wave

The wolves have worn off their claws. Just waiting for these meat sheep to take the bait,

In order to achieve the goal of completely sinking such a huge fleet, Dustrengkai dragged out all the main forces of the Falcon Navy to control this sea area, 6 Dragon-class, 41 Dragon's Tooth warships, and 12 large transport ships to transport supplies, "This is the latest arrangement, our confusion should not be there!" Dustrunkai adjusted the pattern from the new, and the messy colors on the sand table began to change significantly, this sand table has been adjusted three times before, but everyone didn't see anything special,

And this time, the eyes of all the admirals lit up, it seems that this is the formation of the last battle, it is really sophisticated enough, if it is not known in advance, this sudden attack is likely to fall into a bitter battle!

In silence, Dustronik touched his chin with his hand, pointed to one direction of the sand table with his hand, and first said, "I heard that this guy named Rod Haru has the reputation of being the general of the sea, and has fought more than 30 naval battles large and small, it seems that he is indeed a very experienced guy, you can also see it, as soon as the other party enters the sea area in the northwest, the original loose queue has obviously changed,

If I guessed correctly, once encountered, the frigates on both wings of the opponent will first accelerate and rush over, using the speed advantage to form a large net to entangle us, and then the heavy battleships calmly crush over, a very practical formation, but the shortcomings are just as obvious, that is, once the frigate and the main battleship are separated, it will be a catastrophe!!" The Admiral of the Sixth Fleet, Edenger, was the first to react, and his words also made the other Admirals a little suddenly realized, "Well, you are right!" Dustrengke nodded. As long as a bait, the opponent's flank frigate will inevitably jump out of the formation like a hound, our dragon tooth ship is faster than them, as long as they catch up, they will inevitably be dragged away along the way, and they will not be able to assemble in a short time, and the opponent's large warship can only catch up from behind slowly in order to escort the transport ship, and the opponent's formation is basically useless, and once it enters the ambush area, the other party will be in the downwind position where our Thor is most likely to exert its power, and then if you want to assemble again, you will only lose more"My lord, leave this task to me!" Captain Tiggal of the Fourth Fleet said with a solemn expression, "No, pick up and run away, I will do it more realistically!" It was Si Effinger who said this, and he said in a somewhat self-deprecating tone, "It's not easy to fool this cunning guy, and I am the only one here who has ever been a deserter!"

"Who said that, when I used to be a pirate, I was known as the fastest at sea!, of course, mainly because I ran fast!" said one of the admirals dissatisfied

"Okay, don't fight, this task is handed over to Si Efenger, Dustrengke's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, it takes great courage to be able to admit his failure, since the last defeat, Si Efenger has become more and more like a general, and he is not shocked. In terms of tactical command and strategy, he obviously surpassed the admirals of several other detachments, no wonder His Majesty did not kill him at the beginning, and it seems that he also took a fancy to his potential!

"Why, my lord, such a decision is unfair to all!" said someone dissatisfied, albeit in a low voice

"Justice?" Dustrenkai was visibly angry, "Damn, this is the army, does the army know!" Dustrenke's bloodshot eyes swept viciously over a few unruly admirals. Said coldly, "I feel unjust to stand up, I will sue him what justice is" Several admirals were suddenly speechless timidly, and they didn't dare to look at each other under Dustromkai's gaze.

"Why, hasn't anyone come out?" Dustrunkai looked at a few silent subordinates and snorted, "Then which of you can sue me, in the face of a powerful enemy, what kind of approach should you use to show that you have been caught off guard?"

"This" several admirals were stunned. Immediately understood why the commander chose Si Efenger, "As a bait, not to win, but to lose! Who of you could be more suitable than Si Efenger, who had been in a similar situation before!" Dustrenkay's roar made everyone feel like a needle in their backs

"Yes. ,, we are too reckless, my lord is angry!" The faces of several admirals were ugly.

"Well, since no one is talking about justice, then Eifinger. You can go!" Dustrenkai withdrew his murderous gaze, turned to Si Efenger and said, "Remember, don't expose our original intention of ambush, and don't use Thor, you can only play on your own! It's really embarrassing to say, and you ...... just a moment of excitement" A trace of shame flashed on Dustrengke's face

"My lord, it's okay! I get up from where I fall, and my subordinates are very grateful to my lord for giving me a chance to get up!" Swiftfinger picked up the Admiral's hat on the hanger with gratitude on his face, and glanced at everyone, "Everyone, wait for my good news" Opened the door of the cabin, and the light outside the door was so strong that half of his face exposed to the sun looked a little pale.

3 p.m

Si Efenger took a master and two dragon tooth ships from the direction of the headwind, to the southeast, because of the headwind, the speed of the detachment was not fast, at 3:20 in the afternoon, Si Effinger finally saw that the dense mast appeared on the opposite side of the sea,

The white sails, blown by the sea breeze, emit a dazzling light under the sun, as if a layer of white mist rose on the sea surface at the same time.

Turn the hull 140 degrees, sail wide, and go around at full speed!Parallel to the opposing fleet!" Si Finger ordered loudly, since he could not use Thor, then he had to take some unique means to provoke the other party, and the best way was to drive in parallel lines.

On the surface of the sea, being stared at so unscrupulously by the enemy's navy was the greatest insult to a commander, and sure enough, on the left flank of the transport fleet opposite, a fleet of 4 frigates suddenly accelerated, broke away from the main line, and rushed towards the Efinger fleet on the parallel line with great momentum.

"My lord, what are we going to do?" asked the first mate with an ugly face

"Ignore them, just keep the current fastest speed!They're slower than us, and we're in a straight line, they're diagonal!It's hell to be able to intercept us," Si Effinger sneered disdainfully at the corner of his mouth, which he had already expected,

Half an hour later, Rod Haru's eyes had been completely gathered, and on the two strangely shaped dragon's tooth warships that were still parallel to him, the four frigates of his side were dragged out of the distance, and a white water mark that cut through the sea, as if he was mocking the four frigates behind him, the most annoying thing was that the other party relied on the advantage in speed to pass diagonally through the front of the entire fleet,

"Oh, what an arrogant guy" Rod Haru heard the voice of Orb next to him who didn't know what tone it was, and his face suddenly couldn't hold back, this was an insult to the entire fleet, and it was also a great contempt for him himself, "Come on, send Cecil detachment!" His Dark Devil should be able to catch up with the other party's speed, sue him, no matter what means, I want the other party to sink to the bottom of the sea!" Rodharu ordered with a blue face, and soon, a smaller black sail battleship soared out from the left flank, splitting the waves, and quickly accelerated, like a detached arrow, directly throwing out a large section of the battleship behind, seeing its appearance, some frustrated fleets inside, and even let out a shout "Cecil, it's Cecil's Dark Devil! Kill that arrogant guy" "My lord, the other party's speed is very fast, we're just afraid we can't continue to perform like this!" The report from the first mate made Si Fingerger's eyebrows frown slightly"At this rate, how far are we from the ambush circle?" "About half an hour!" replied the first mate

"So, it's close!"

As if thinking of something, Smithinger muttered to himself, and at that moment, there was a sinking crash, and the deck creaked overwhelmingly,

I saw that on the left side of the battleship, a black sail battleship about the size of the Dragon's Tooth Ship collided heavily with Si Finger's flagship.

The ship's side flew apart, and the guardrail several meters wide was broken, and then the two ships quickly separated, and the form was suddenly critical (to be continued......
