Chapter 594: The Fleeing Fleet (1)

"1741.12.7, the fourth day after leaving port zero."
"Today was again blocked, and the fleet lost the Tempest and Thunder. Fortunately, we finally sailed out of the river."
"In a rush of time, the fleet had no time to prepare long-haul supplies. From the current consumption, the food and fresh water on the main and frigates can only be maintained for two weeks. So far, the distress signals we have sent have not been answered."
"The enemies are chasing after each other. This bad news makes everyone's already tense nerves more fragile. All people's tempers become irritable. They yelled and even shot at people around them because of some small things."
"I am very disturbed. I heard that three orc soldiers have been fighting viciously on the thornbush flower, and the sailors have disappeared mysteriously. The crews of different races have begun to guard against each other."
...
Charlie put down his pen, sighed, and looked at the previous records during the turning of the paper. This is the runaway diary after the departure of the morning dawn in the north. On the first day, he wrote a full two pages, but the fewer words the later, today There are only a few cluttered and scattered words.
There is no way. At the moment, the situation is urgent, both internal and external, and no one can sit down and record daily routines. Besides, as the successor of Master Corvette, he has too many things to deal with, and it is not easy to insist on completing the diary while he is busy, not to mention Take the time to connect sentences and modify words.
Closing the notebook, Charlie, standing full-faced, stood up and looked out at the rough black sea from the round porthole. During this time, he was worried, always worried that a few magic guided ships would suddenly appear on the sea.
"May the Lord of Twilight bless us." He whispered to the sea.
Immediately after the prayer, Charlie walked to the little hard bed in the corner. The fleet was always in danger, and the rest time should be cherished.
The door was snapped and someone stopped outside: "Charlie, I guess you shouldn't sleep yet."
"Come in."
Charlie rubbed his eyes. This was not the first time. The captain of "Northern Morning Dawn" often sought him at night to communicate information and discuss issues.
The captain's clothes were crumpled, which made the man in his thirties look a bit old. After entering, he looked for a place to sit down without any pretence. I ’d like to hear your opinion on the serious shortage of supplies.

At present, logically speaking, there is only a way to wait for the rescue of the empire. Check the ideal, but looking at the captain's voice, it seems that he does not want to hear this answer.
He groaned for a while and tentatively said, "There are some islands in the Red Sea. Although the empire has never set foot in it, they have marked the chart. Maybe we can search for food and water on those islands? "
"This will only delay time." The captain shook his head. "Those islands are not on our route at all."
"What's your plan?"
In this tone, Charlie guessed that this guy shouldn't be asking questions.
"Our current supply is completely unable to sustain the consumption of so many people," said the captain.
"Yes, even if the goblins can go to sleep, ..."
Charlie nodded subconsciously, but then he stopped, suddenly raised his head and looked at the captain, looking at the constant expression on the other side's face, his eyes suddenly widened, a cold thought appeared in his mind: "Badley ,what did you say?"
"We have to give up some people." Budley was clear.
"You're crazy !?"
"I do not have choice."
"You're letting them die!" Charlie was furious: "The empire's first rule, no one has the right to deprive others of their lives, this is the law written by His Majesty the Emperor himself."
"I said, I have no choice."
"Badley, I always thought you were a responsible and trustworthy person, but now, you actually told me to give up those who fight with us." Charlie said, "Well, if someone really wants to be Give up, why can't that person be you? "
"The mission entrusted to me by the Empire is to ensure the safety of 'Northern Morning Dawn.'"
Bardley is not affected by his words, but a plain description: "This main ship is an important asset of the empire and a crystallization of northern industry and magic technology. We must not let it fall into the hands of the enemy. Compared to the interests, you, me, and others are not important. These sacrifices are worth completing. "
Charlie felt that the world was collapsing before him. He had lost his most beloved mentor not long ago. Now he has to face such a horrible reality: "No matter how grand the reason is, you can't abandon your comrades in arms. Sentenced to hanging! "
"Hang or not, wait till you return to the empire."
Bardley stood up, "I promised thirty captains to the Captain of the Winter, and tomorrow he will send the supplies to the" Northern Morning Light. "
"Why is it Dongdong?"
"it's the same."
...
After a moment of silence, seeing that Charlie had no follow-up, Bardley was about to leave. Before he left, he glanced at the young man sitting, "Whether or not you want, the war has begun, and in the war, life is the most insignificant. Something. Sober up, the Empire needs you. "
Charlie shook her head.
Bardley twisted the doorknob, and a heartbreaking whine sounded all over the sea. The frigate issued an alarm, clearly indicating that the enemy was found on the sea.
Charlie has heard this voice sixteen times since he fled, and every time it scared him, the moment the alarm sounded, he awoke from the dullness and stood up.
As the captain, Bardley was one step faster than him. The guy's expression was so severe that he hurried to the command room.
Charlie ignored him, walked quickly to the porthole, and leaned down to peer into the deep sea. The hull of the Northern Morning Dawn was slowly deflected. Gradually, he could see some looming black spots appearing at sea level ~ www.mtlnovel. com ~ the magic battleship group that does not fall into the empire!
It was only this morning that the Third Fleet managed to get rid of the enemy's siege at the cost of paying two frigates. I did not expect that the other party would catch up so quickly. With the advantage of the all-envelope lock coverage, the sun would not be easy Being able to locate the fleeing fleet and not giving them a breather.
This high-intensity chasing and blocking can imagine the enemy's determination to capture the northern dawn main ship.
The scream of the take-off dragon screamed in my ears. At the same time the alarm sounded, the dragons had already climbed up to the deck, flapping their wings and rising to the sky.
They are not distorted radiant dragons, but they have also been transformed and implanted with psionic armor. This colony, developed jointly by dwarves and undead, perfectly matches bipedal dragons. While reinforcing the fragile defenses of bipedal dragons, The earth has enriched their means of warfare.
Now, the strong colony dragon can not only use fangs and claws to attack, but also can project explosive bombs and incendiary bombs from the weapon mouth of the chest. Their existence allows the Blackwing fleet to have a farther range than the old-time guided ships. The fleet The first waves of attacks are often launched by strong colonies.
