Sea area of Salander.

When the late autumn in the north is gradually turning from cool to cold, the sea area of Salander in the south is still sunny and shining.

The scorching sun shines on the sea, as if to completely evaporate the seawater, and the sun shines deeply into the depths of the seawater, so that the sea fish there do not dare to emerge lightly, so as not to be unfortunate to be flattened by the sun.

The unknown seabirds that used to fly back and forth on the surface of the sea have also disappeared without a trace. In the vast expanse of the sea, there will be no more to see except the glare of the sun and the boiling water.

A large fleet appeared on the sea, slowly moving south under the scorching sun, and because there was no wind on the sea, although all the warships had spread their sails, the speed of progress was still very slow, as if they were gliding quietly on the sea, and they looked a little listless.

It was a huge fleet of twenty-six heavily armed Dragon's Tooth warships, each with a large red falcon flag flying at the top of the mast.

The flag that was originally fluttering in the wind seemed to be hanging down in frustration because of the scorching sun.

On the trestle of the flagship on the left side of the fleet, a young man wearing a new blue navy uniform, standing upright in the sun, his clothes are straight to resist the power of the sun.

The hot sun poured all the heat on him without reservation, but he didn't seem to feel the slightest, as if he didn't know that the hot sun was trying to test himself.

His face was calm. There was not even sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were blazing as he looked at the vast sea area above the southeast of the fleet, and through the edge of the blue sea day, a few small black dots could be faintly seen

It is the island chain of Sausallen in the middle of the Salander Sea, located on the central axis of the central sea area of Saland, and the boundary between the central part of Saland and the southern sea is divided by this island chain.

According to internal reports, in order to break through the detection and blockade of the Falcon fleet by the northern seas, the Salande Kyoto, which was about to move, chose to build a new shipyard on this island chain, and the last fleet was also transferred for this purpose

"Resolutely eliminate"

The order from the Falcon Majesty is very simple and very resolute, Salander is an island country, no matter how you Saland Kyoto tosses on land, as long as there is no power of the sea, Salander Kyoto is a rotten ship full of holes, you can fight as much as you want,

The so-called Northern Army, which has changed qualitatively, has no value in existence, and Vikia has obtained the most important eastern Si four counties, and these four bridgeheads are enough for the Falcon Dynasty army to assemble in a short period of time, continue to absorb the population and resources of Salander's side, and give Salander Kyoto a fatal blow if necessary, this is the fat man's original intention to watch the previous battle situation coldly,

Obviously, the vitality of the Salande Kyoto is also well aware of this, since the beginning of the year, Salander Kyoto side by the fourth prince Fu Bailou in charge, Kyoto weather is a new one, with the withdrawal of Vekia in the Visa War and Nilai's northern army withdrawing to the original territory, the so-called northern army with the southern faction as the main body, under the blow of the four princes, all the way rout,

However, in more than half a year, not only was the siege broken by Salander Kyoto, but also lost 80% of the previously occupied sphere of influence, leaving only an army of less than 15,000 people still entrenched in the Ron Mountains to resist stubbornly

From the newly restored strength of Salander Kyoto, it is natural to turn their attention to the northern region, which is becoming richer in commerce and trade, and the four eastern coastal counties that have been divided by the Vicchians.

Sixty percent of the population of Kyoto was concentrated in these areas, the power of the new economic center, even Salande Kyoto, and a large number of craftsmen and craftsmen who had originally belonged to Kyoto were attracted by the generous conditions of the northern region.

The news that Kyoto has fallen is becoming more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Salander, and in August, the last fleet left behind in Kyoto of Salander disappeared in the waters of Salander.

There have been reports of merchant ships passing through the central seas, the whereabouts of the Salander navy have been spotted in the Sausallen island chain in the central part of the Salander Sea, and the confirmation of a previous reconnaissance ship indicates that there are signs of military presence in the Sausalen island chain...,

The news was reported, which made the fat man angry, and also made Dustrenkai, who was in charge of monitoring the waters of Salander, feel very faceless, and the Minister of the Navy Lidarchus sent an envoy to Ryerdian and did not return.

As the commander of the First Privateer Fleet of the fleet directly under the Admiralty, Dustrenkai was actually exercising the power of the Admiralty, and received a reprimand from His Majesty the Falcon, and Dustrenkai was eager to hang all the Salander navy in revenge.

Just after August, and before September 15, Dustrenkay's privateer fleet quietly headed south, along with a branch of the Crane detachment, which belonged to the fleet directly under the Admiralty. Search along both ends of the chain of islands of Sausalen, which are most likely to be found,

Duströnkai habitually held up his binoculars, and through the frizzy lenses, he saw nothing on the vast sea except for the turquoise blue undulating waters. There is only sunlight and sea in the heavens and the earth.

It had been three days since the fleet entered the waters of Sosalun, but it had never seen any suspicious ships, not even a single merchant ship passing by, and there was nothing left on the vast sea except the sun and the sea. This strange and quiet phenomenon made Dustrenkai more and more sure that there must be something hidden in this island chain, otherwise, there would not be even the most frequent merchant ships of the season

"Have you made any contact with the Crane fleet?"

Dustrenkai asked with a little anxious frown, he heard the footsteps of Adjutant Elek, because the Dragon's Tooth Ship is not conducive to long-distance attacks, so the transferred Crane detachment is actually a fleet equipped with supplies and reconnaissance, with 8 large Salander five-mast ships used for supplies and 7 Unicorn-class reconnaissance ships of the Dyrens family

"Nope. Since entering this island chain yesterday, we have lost contact. Adjutant Elek, with a dark face, replied regretfully. "What is that guy doing in Crane?" the adjutant's answer made Dustrenkai frown,

"But I'm not familiar with the sea, so I'm delaying," replied the adjutant

"Well, that's all I can think about now" Dustrenkai nodded, and said slowly, "You immediately send two Dragon's Tooth ships to search the nearby sea chain, this is the meeting place we agreed on yesterday, as long as there are no problems, the Crane Detachment will definitely come"

"Yes, Commander," Adjutant Elek saluted, then turned and walked away.

Dustronik held the railing with both hands, staring at the sea with a little anxiety in his eyes,

"My lord, the front is the exit of the island chain, do we need to move on" Adjutant Elek came to ask if the fleet needed to move on,

"Order the whole fleet to stop on the spot," Dustrenkai thought for a moment and waved at him,

The air inside the command room was much cooler than outside. The wind generated when moving forward, the sea breeze with rich water vapor blows out from the outside, giving people a fresh and refreshing feeling.

Duster, who walked into the command cabin, casually took off his military cap, hung it on the clothes post next to him, and spread out a map of the entire island chain on the table

"What the hell is wrong" Dustrenkai muttered to himself as he bent down, his solemn face was heavy as if he was about to drip water, and his fingers slowly slid along the map of the island chain.

The Crane detachment was temporarily transferred from the military port south of Vekia, because of the urgency of time, although the entire detachment was equipped according to the operation, most of the ships were old trebuchets,

Only the flagship Sahuath is equipped with 10 old Thors that have been removed from the Dragon's Tooth ship, and the operators and gunners are still new recruits who have not yet experienced real combat.

According to intelligence, the hidden Salander Navy is said to have 7 five-masted giant ships, 14 large ships and more than 30 other small and medium-sized warships, which is very strong in combat power

If the Crane detachment is really unfortunate enough to encounter the Salander navy, the victory or defeat of both sides can be imagined, if all 8 supply ships are captured or sunk, then the main force of their own team of dragon tooth ships will also fall into a desperate situation of returning without supplies

The huge and detailed island chain chart came from the Sky Temple, because the Sky Sacrifice became the full-time sacrifice of the Vic Territory according to the agreement, so the headquarters of the Sky Temple was also moved to the Vic Territory, and a large number of books and archives also migrated, which was equivalent to giving the Falcon Dynasty an excellent opportunity to understand the Salander region, and sent someone to copy and depict the map of the sea area and region with great value

This nautical chart is too large and detailed, with countless black dots, large and small, scattered in the deep-sea area representing 100 miles away from the coast, which is the masterpiece of countless Salander navigators for hundreds of years,...,

In fact, in the area on the east and west sides of the Salander Sea, there are hundreds of large and small islands, but each island is well hidden, and few people pass by, so no one can find their islands.

Exactly where the Klan fleet is now in the vicinity of which island, Dustrenkai really can't tell. Staring deeply at the chart on the table, both eyes seemed to bulge out

Precious life-saving time, just like this moment passed,

There was no sunlight in the command room, and Dustrenkai felt stuffy instead. Loosening the button on his neckline, Dustrenkai slammed his palm on the map on the table, and scolded angrily, "Crane, you bastard, what the hell are you doing"

At this time, Adjutant Elek quietly entered through the hatch. Dustrenkai frowned and said, "Found that bastard of Crane?"

The adjutant shook his head with an ugly face and said, "No." Commander, the two reconnaissance ships searched almost all the nearby islands, and they didn't find any trace of the Klan."

Dustrenkay's brows furrowed even more, and he said a little impatiently, "I hope he's okay, otherwise, we can only choose to fight to the death here."

Adjutant Elek shrank his head in fright, he had never seen the usually calm commander lose such a temper,

"Commander, it's not a way for us to wait like this, so let's take the initiative to attack. Although I don't know the location of the enemy yet, this island chain is the line, and if you go back along the other side of the island chain, I believe that you will definitely find the Klan fleet," Adjutant Elek said cautiously.

"Do you want to go back from the other side, but we've seen it all the way," Dustrenkay's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned around and picked up the map that he had photographed from the ground.

His eyes searched it quickly, and suddenly his face was happy, and he smiled and said, "Haha, I know they are there, only that is the only area on the periphery of the island chain, if the Klan fleet encounters the enemy and we don't find out, then it must be there"

"What are you talking about, sir?"

Adjutant Elek looked confused, Dustrengke slapped him on the shoulder, and shouted, "What are you still doing, order the fleet to turn immediately to the island of Soraka, thirty miles to the northeast, and the map shows that five miles away from the back of that island, there is a large coral reef that extends out, and if you don't pay attention to it, you won't think that a naval base can be built there."

The sea was agitated, and the dragon's tooth privateering fleet, which was rapidly turning, immediately adjusted its course and sailed at full speed to the northeast.

After a two-hour voyage, the island of Sokala was in sight, and suddenly there was a thunderous rumbling of cannons ahead. A sea breeze with a pungent smell of sulphur blows in your face

The rumbling sound of the cannon immediately shook Dustrunkay's body, and he hurried to the bridge, then raised his lookout glasses and turned the multiplier to the maximum, no matter who was in the fierce battle now, he finally met a living man.

It's a pity that through the lens tube in the lookout glass, Dustrenkai still didn't see anything, except for the hot sun and the white steam "Command the whole ship to speed up" Dustrenkai angrily put down the lookout glass, pulled out his command knife, ran to the bow of the flagship and shouted, the huge waves hit him

Soon the lookout post at the top of the mast reported that the fierce battle ahead should be the Crane detachment with the red flag falcon and an unidentified naval fleet,

"Give me the lookout glass" The impatient Dustrenkai personally climbed the mast observation post, only to see that in the sea area a few miles to the northeast, dozens of small black dots were entangled.

On one of the larger warships, it was like a fierce beast on a rampage, and the small boats nearby panicked, and suddenly a thick white fog emerged from the side of the large battleship, which exploded like the ink gushing from an octopus.

"It's the Crane guy's Saphus"

Dustrunkai clearly saw a battleship of the same style on the opposite side, the huge hull shook violently as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, the fire exploded from the hull like a squeezed tomato, and the thick black smoke was like a pointing mark, which could be seen from miles away,...... ，
