"Baron, we have determined that the pirates are indeed planning to rob Tindor's trade fleet."
¡°They are gathering to prepare for action in the Senvi Bay area southwest of the Elante Islands.¡± Ponos opened the map and pointed to a turning point under the southern land of the kingdom.
"Damn it, how many ships are there?" Lin Fenghan rubbed his eyes tiredly and asked seriously.
Bonos frowned and said uncertainly: "According to reports from many investigators, these pirates have about 20 or 50 or even more ships. These ships are small and medium-sized ships and are not as powerful as Tindor and our ships." , but they are faster.¡±
"Well! Now that the news has been confirmed, let me go and inform the people in the Tindor Trading Fleet! After all, they have helped us a lot, and we can't ignore it."
Lin Fenghan stood up seriously and asked suddenly: "Is there any news about Duke Brant's fleet? What is their fleet doing now?"
"Baron, our more than 100 intelligence personnel in various places have not received news of the expedition of Duke Brant's fleet. They have now returned to the Dancing Dolphin Inland Sea. Recently, Duke Brant is busy dealing with the peasant uprising and the military component. There is no way They don¡¯t have the energy or financial resources to attack us,¡± Ponos speculated in detail.
"No! You must be careful about Brant. I am sending 200 people to various places to perform missions to detect the news. In addition, I want you to spread the news that I am preparing to go on a pirate expedition. Be sure to let Duke Brant know and arouse his attention. Pay attention." Lin Fenghan said with bright eyes.
"yes!"
¡°Prepare material supplies and personnel dispatch, gather all the warships, and we will prepare for a big fight tomorrow.¡± Lin Fenghan patted Bonos on the shoulder, opened the door and walked towards the residence of the Tindor caravan.
Lin Fenghan, Elizabeth, the nobles from Tindor and others stood beside the table, looking at the map carefully.
"Madam, the pirates have targeted you. My plan is that tomorrow you will leave all your valuables at the Haisha Port, and your guards and sailors will drive the ships along the coast to the west, while my fleet will just follow. After that, when the pirates come, speed up to meet up with our fleet and severely damage these pirates, so that there will no longer be large-scale pirate attacks on you nearby."
"You can return to Tindor along the coast and port."
After hearing Lin Fenghan's plan, a lady in her thirties cursed angrily: "Damn it, it's more than 6,000 kilometers from Tindor, and we encountered such a large-scale pirates right here, you Dambree. The security situation in Sri Lanka is really bad."
"yes!"
"A pirate group with more than 1,000 people is in our Tindor, and the nobles will not allow them to exist anyway."
"Don't pay attention to those pirates. When we came, the load on the ship was too heavy, so we were caught up by those damn pirates. Now the weight of our hull has been reduced by one-third. As long as we pull up the sail, we can get rid of those pirates." dross."
¡¡
The merchants of Tindor discussed angrily.
"Our flagship Dolan is very strong and very tall. The only thing we fear is the siege of many ships. And the number of pirates here is crazy and unbelievable. I have decided to cooperate with Baron Elante's plan. What about you?" Elizabeth? He glanced at Lin Fenghan gratefully and asked softly to the merchants in Tindor.
"I support!"
"I support it too! But I won't get on the boat."
¡Many Tindor businessmen are not idiots, and they are naturally very willing to get help without paying any wages.
"Yi Liuyun, I also want to go during the naval battle, is it okay?" After the meeting, Elizabeth said firmly to Lin Fenghan.
"Okay, but you must be careful. Can I invite you to the opera?" Lin Fenghan smiled slightly and extended his hand to invite.
"Oh! Let's go!" Elizabeth smiled softly and walked side by side.
The sun had just risen in the calm seaside harbor. After noticing a few sneaky people watching the merchant ships, Lin Fenghan and Elizabeth decisively gave the order to sail.
After two months of supplies, the Tindor caravan with 700 people and four ships set out on its way home again.
"Go and report to the boss that Tindor's merchant ship has been launched. Let all the bosses prepare."
"Yeah! But we have to stay here a little longer to see what Elantra's navy is doing?"
"The new baron formation of Elantra is very powerful. We have a few well-known pirate groups in the last meeting"?He was destroyed, and now Hailan City still imprisons those unlucky ghosts. "
"Yes! Let's pay attention." Several mysterious people in windbreakers discussed one after another. After a while, a 3-meter-long boat ran out of the seaport and headed south quickly.
"Baron, Tindor's fleet has set off, shall we follow it now?" Bonos said seriously as he looked at the retreating fleet.
"Yes! But you must be careful. Set out one by one. Go to the east first, run 5 kilometers away and then take a detour to gather. Don't move our flagship for now. Wait for 2 hours before setting off at full strength." Lin Fenghan was cautious. said.
"My dear nephew, after the difficult transportation and installation last night, the bronze cannon we invented today will definitely show its talents. Gah!" Ali said with a smile and patted Lin Fenghan's shoulder.
"Yes! That's for sure. This time I dispatched 900 navy and 1,700 elite army troops to eliminate all pirate scum who dare to invade." Lin Fenghan said confidently with his fists raised.
"A giant bronze cannon?" Elizabeth looked at Lin Fenghan doubtfully.
"Elizabeth, you will see it later." Lin Fenghan gently wiped Elizabeth's long golden hair and said softly.
In the vast sea, a large-scale fleet is sailing on the endless ocean. The 60-meter-long flagship Hailan sits in the middle, 3 heavy-duty galleys follow on both sides, 4 three-sailed armed clippers line the front, and 5 medium-sized galleys are scattered on both sides, a total of 31 standard galleys more than 10 meters long. The dhow warships formed two square formations, arrayed on both sides of the huge fleet.
With dazzling sails, clear flags, and heroic songs, 43 warships rowed toward the southwest under the control of sailors.
¡°Damn it, there¡¯s no wind in this weather, rowing is really slow.¡±
"yes!"
Kelande, Rana and the others gasped out of boredom.
"You two, stop complaining. We have no wind to help us, and neither do the pirates. The Tindor fleet is sailing 15 kilometers ahead. We will always pay attention to the situation. During the battle, the heavy infantry must be careful not to fall into the sea. Once you fall into the sea, take off your equipment immediately, your lives are more important than your armor."
"Archers, crossbowmen, and trebuchet captains, check their equipment immediately and prepare arrows and stones."
"Be vigilant." Lin Fenghan and Elizabeth seriously inspected the defenses and reminded the crew.
"What a large-scale battleship! I'm really looking forward to this kind of battle!" Elizabeth looked at the many ships in amazement and praised.
"Baby, I look forward to the war more than you do. This will be the battle for my rise." Lin Fenghan tightened Elizabeth's delicate hands and said expectantly.
Elizabeth looked at Lin Fenghan with bright eyes, staring quietly.
