: 721 The Decision of the South (9)

721 Decision of the South (9)
Saranda waters.
When the late autumn in the north gradually turned from cool to cold, the sea in the south of Salland was still bright and sunny.
The spicy sun shines on the surface of the sea, as if the seawater is to be completely evaporated, and the sun shines deeply into the depths of the seawater, so that the fish there do not dare to emerge easily, so as not to be flattened by the sun.
The unknown seabirds flying back and forth on the sea in the past have disappeared without a trace at this time. On the endless sea, apart from the dazzling sunlight and the boiling sea water, you will never see anything else.
A large fleet appeared on the sea, and it slowly went south under the scorching sun. Because there was no wind on the sea, although all the warships had sailed, the speed of movement was still very slow, as if it was still on the sea. Passing silently, it looked a little listless.
This is a huge fleet of twenty-six heavily armed Dragon Tooth battleships, each of which has a large red falcon flag flying at the top of the mast,
The flag that was originally dancing in the wind seems to be pulled down in despair because of the sun.
On the trestle of the flagship on the left side of the fleet, a young man wearing a new blue navy uniform stood with his waist plate standing under the sun, and his clothes were straight and resisted the power of the sun.
The hot sunlight unreservedly poured all the heat on him, but he didn't seem to have the slightest feeling, as if the hot sunlight was not being tested at all,
His face was quiet. There wasn’t even sweat on his forehead, but he looked at the vast waters above the southeast of the fleet with glare, and through the blue sea one day, there were a few black dots vaguely visible
There is the Sosalun Island reef chain in the middle of the Sarand Sea, which is located on the central axis of the middle Sarand Sea. The dividing line between the central Sarand and the South Sea is divided by this island chain.
According to internal sources, in order to break through the detection and blockade of the Falcon Fleet by the northern seas, the sloppy Saranda Kyoto chose to build a new shipyard on this island chain, and for this reason it will be the last one. The fleet was also dispatched
"Resolutely eliminate"
The order from His Majesty the Falcon is simple and firm. Salander is an island country. No matter how you are tossing Salander Kyoto, as long as there is no ocean power, Salander Kyoto is a rotten ship full of holes. I want to fight,
The so-called Northern Army, which has been qualitatively changed, has no value at all. Wikya has achieved the most important eastern Sisi County. These four bridgeheads are enough for the Falcon dynasty to gather in a short period of time to continue and absorb the Sarande. The population and resources of the country, when necessary, gave Sarande Kyoto a fatal blow. This is the fat man’s indifferent view of the previous battle.
Obviously, the severely wounded Salander Kyoto is also well aware of this. Since the beginning of the year, Saranda Kyoto was dominated by the Four Princes Fubailou, the weather of Kyoto is one of the new. The withdrawal from the war and the withdrawal of Nila’s northern army from the original territory, the so-called northern army with the southernist as the main body, was defeated by the four princes.
But for more than half a year, not only was Sarande Kyoto breaking the siege of the siege, but it also lost 80% of its previously occupied sphere of influence, leaving only an army of less than 15,000 people still entrenched. The Ron Mountain stubbornly resisted. If it was not the timely assistance of the Nila Army, these southern nobles would have been ousted from the Salander Sea by the Four Princes Fubailou
From the newly restored Saranda Kyoto, it is natural to turn its attention to the northern region where the commerce is increasingly rich, and the four eastern coastal counties that were separated by the Wikyas.
Compared with the war-torn neighborhood of Kyoto, those areas are booming at a terrible rate. Sixty percent of the population of Kyoto belonged to these areas. The power of the new economic center is Saran. De Kyoto is also under its influence, and a large number of craftsmen and craftsmen who originally belonged to Kyoto were attracted by the generous conditions in the northern region.
The news that Kyoto has fallen has gradually penetrated into the hearts of the Salanders. In August, the last fleet left by Salander in Kyoto disappeared in the waters of Salander.
Some merchant ships passing through the central waters reported that the Sarande navy chain had passed through the Sarande navy chain in the middle of the Sarande Sea, plus the confirmation of a previous reconnaissance ship that there were signs of troops stationed on the Sao Saren island chain.
The news was reported, which made the fat man angry, and also made Dusterenkai, who was in charge of the monitoring of the sea area of ​​Salander, feel very faceless. The Secretary of the Navy Lidacus sent Rui Erdian to return.
As the commander of the First Private Fleet of the Fleet Directly under the Admiralty, Dustrunkai was actually driving the power of the Navy Secretary and received reprimands from His Majesty Falcon. All hanged to revenge.
Just after August, and before September 15, Dusterenkai’s private squadron quietly went south, and at the same time there was a Clan squadron belonging to the fleet directly under the Admiralty. Search along the most likely chain of Sosalon Island,
Dustromkai habitually raised his binoculars. Through the frizzy lenses, the vast sea was not seen except for the turquoise blue water. There is only sunlight and sea water between heaven and earth.
It has been 3 days since the fleet entered the sea of ​​Sosalon, but it has never seen any suspicious ships. Even the merchant ships have not seen one. There is no other existence on the vast sea except for sunlight and sea water. This too strange and too quiet phenomenon has made Dusterenkai more certain that this island chain must be hidden, otherwise, it will not even have the most frequent merchant ships this season.
"Have you contacted the Crane Division?"
Dustronk asked frowning a little anxiously, he heard the footsteps of Lieutenant Elek, because the Dragon Fang was not conducive to a long-distance attack, so the mobilized Clan unit was actually a fleet equipped with supplies and reconnaissance. Owns 8 large five-mast Sarand warships for supply and 7 unicorn-class reconnaissance ships of the Dylans family
"No. Since we entered this chain of islands yesterday, we lost contact." The black-faced deputy Elek replied regretfully. "What's that Clan guy doing?" Dustron Kay frowned as the adjutant answered.
"But I'm not familiar with the sea, so delay it" the adjutant replied
"Well, I can only think about it now." Dustronk nodded and slowly said, "You immediately dispatched two Dragon Tooth to search the nearby sea chain. This is the meeting place we agreed yesterday, as long as there is no Question, the Crane Division will definitely come"
"Yes, Commander" Lieutenant Elec stood up and saluted, then turned away.
Dustromkai held the railing with both hands, staring anxiously at the sea,
"Sir, the front is the exit of the island chain. Do we need to continue to move forward?" Lieutenant Elek came to ask, whether the fleet needs to continue to move forward,
"Order the entire fleet to stop in place first" Dustroenca thought about it and waved to him.
The air inside the command room is much cooler than outside. The wind generated when moving forward, blowing out the sea breeze with rich water vapor, gives a fresh and refreshing feeling,
Entering the command module, Dusit took off his military cap and hung it on the side of the clothes column, spreading the map of the entire island chain on the table
"In the end, something went wrong." Dustroenke bent down to himself, his heavy face was dripping, and his fingers slowly slid along the island chain map.
The Clan team was temporarily transferred from the military port in the south of Wikya. Because of the urgency, although the entire squadron was equipped for combat, most of the ships were still old-fashioned trebuchets.
Only the flagship Thassos is equipped with 10 old Thors that were removed from the Dragon Tooth Ship. Both the operator and the artillery are still recruits who have not yet experienced real combat.
According to intelligence, the hidden Salander Navy is said to have 7 five-mast giant ships, 14 large ships, and more than 30 other small and medium warships, which are very powerful in combat power.
If the Klan team really encountered the Sailand navy, the victory of both sides can be imagined. If all eight supply ships were captured or sunk, the main force of this dragon tooth ship would also be lost and return. Jedi
The large and detailed island chain chart comes from the sky temple. Because the sky sacrifice became a full-time sacrifice of the Vic collar in accordance with the agreement, the headquarters of the sky temple was also relocated to the Vic collar, and a large number of books and archives also migrated, which is equivalent to The Falcon Dynasty was given a great opportunity to understand the area of ​​Sarande, and sent a special person to copy and depict the sea and area maps with important value
This chart is too big and detailed, countless black dots, large and small, are distributed in the deep sea area that represents 100 miles away from the coast. This is the masterpiece of countless Sailand sailors for hundreds of years. On the map of the lord level, most of the deep sea areas and the surrounding areas are completely blank.
It is easy to misunderstand that there are no islands. In fact, there are hundreds of large and small islands scattered on both sides of the Saranda waters, but each island is well hidden, and rarely Some people pass by, so no one can be there for them.
Durstron Kay couldn't really judge which island the Clan Fleet was near. Gazing deeply at the chart on the table, both eyes seemed to bulge out
Precious life-saving, at this moment,
There was no sunlight in the command room, but Dustrengka felt sultry instead. The button on the neckline was loosened, and Dustronkai smashed his palm heavily on the map above the table, scolding angrily, "Cran, you bastard, what the are you doing?"
At this time the lieutenant Elek entered quietly through the hatch. Dusterenkai frowned and said, "Has found Kraan's bastard?"
The adjutant's face was awkward and shook his head. "No. Commander, the two reconnaissance ships almost searched the nearby islands, and there was no shadow of Lord Cran."
Dusterenkai's brows were more severe, and he said a little impatiently, "I hope he is fine, otherwise, we can only choose to fight here"
The lieutenant Elek shrunk his head in fright, he had never seen such a big temper in the always calm commander,
"Commander, if we wait like this, it is not a way to do it. It is better for us to take the initiative to attack. Although it is not the position of the enemy, this island chain is the route. Go back along the other side of the island chain, I will definitely "The Clan Fleet," said Lieutenant Elek.
"Did you go back from the other side? But we have seen it all the way." Dustron Kay's eyes lighted up, and he quickly turned around to pick up the map that was taken from the ground.
Searching with agility, he suddenly smiled and said, "Haha, I'm there, only there is the only area outside the island chain. If the Klan fleet encounters the enemy and we don't notice it, then It must be there"
"Well? What are you talking about?
The lieutenant, Elek, was stunned. Dusterenkai slammed his shoulders and shouted, "Still stunned. He ordered the fleet to turn to the map of Soraka Island thirty miles northeast. 5 miles away from the back of the island, there is a large coral reef that extends out. If you don’t pay attention, you won’t even think that a naval base can be built there.

The sea was turbulent, and the rapidly turning Longya Private Fleet immediately adjusted its course to the northeast at full speed,
After 2 hours of sailing, Sokala Island was in sight, and suddenly there was a thunderous thunderous gunfire in front of it. A sea breeze with a pungent sulfur smell came across
The rumbling of the cannons immediately shocked Dusterenkai and hurriedly ran to the bridge, then raised the lookout and adjusted the multiple to the highest. No matter who was in the fierce battle now, he finally met Alive.
It's a pity that Dusterenkai still didn't see through the lens barrel of the lookout, except for the spicy sunlight and the white diffused steam. "Ordering the whole ship to accelerate" Dustrunkai angrily put down the lookout ~EbookFREE.me~ Pulled out the command knife, ran to the bow of the flagship and shouted, a huge wave hit him
A lookout whistle from the top of the mast soon reported that the battle ahead was supposed to be the Klan branch with a red flag falcon and an unidentified sea fleet,
"Look at my sight." The impatient Dusterenkai personally climbed onto the mast observation post. I saw dozens of small black dots entangled in the waters several miles away in the northeast direction.
One of the larger battleships was ramming like a fierce beast, and the nearby boat was in a panic, and suddenly a thick white mist erupted from the side of the large battleship, exploding like the ink sprayed by the octopus.
"It's Cran's Thrush"
Dustromkay clearly saw a battleship of the same style on the opposite side. The huge hull was as if hit by a heavy hammer. It was violently shaken, and the fire light was exploded from the hull like a squeezed tomato. The smoke is like a pointer, which can be seen even a few miles away,
