Aishina instinctively used her hands to protect her chest to block Lin Fenghan's chest attack, but she still couldn't stop Lin Fenghan's bear hug.
"Cough! Cough! Your Excellency Yi Liuyun, I don't need any reward. I just hope you can let me go."
"Uh!" Lin Fenghan slowly pulled his hands from Aixina's waist and said with an awkward smile, "Sorry! I was the one who got excited."
"Aishina, I will record the achievements you have made. When you make meritorious service in the future, we will reward you together." After Lin Fenghan finished speaking, he walked towards the front deck of the Hailan.
"Cough!"
"Cough!"
"Damn it. I won't die with my eyes closed!" Captain Brandt's cruiser climbed on the deck and looked up at the pigeon that was about to fly out. He was suddenly shot down. He was so angry that his strong body could no longer support him, and he died on the deck. superior.
"Captain?"
"Captain?"
Ham carefully felt the captain's breath with his fingers, and shouted in nervous surprise: "The captain is dead, everyone can surrender."
"Surrender!"
"Surrender!"
"We surrender."
¡¡
The sailors who were not very loyal to Brant immediately put down their bows and arrows, shouted surrender with their long swords, and Elantra's light infantry effortlessly took control of the warship.
Lin Fenghan stood on the deck and listened to the report of Captain Ham and others who had become prisoners, and sighed: "Although this man is loyal to Duke Brant, he is indeed worthy of the name of a warrior. Let's bury him generously when we get ashore. "
¡°First Officer Hamm, please explain the specific situation of the deep-water port before you sail today.¡±
"Yes, Lord Baron." Ham looked at such a young Lin Fenghan in surprise and said seriously: "It is the winter season now. Many commercial ships have stopped their activities and returned to their respective territorial ports to spend the winter. The deep-water port The trading volume is only one-tenth of the peak period in the summer. Local merchants have basically rarely sailed. Most of the supplies are parked in warehouses. The ships anchored in the port are only attended by a small number of crews and port sailors. Brandt The same is true for the Eastern Fleet, with only one-tenth of the normal strength on duty, and no more than five ships will be operating immediately."
"Your Highness, Baron, I hope you can keep it a secret and don't tell the world that it was me who told these things. Otherwise, I will not be able to live in Deepwater Bay and Brant's territory."
Ham quickly finished talking about the situation in the deep-water port and begged in a low voice.
Lin Fenghan nodded seriously and said seriously: "Don't worry! Elante will not give up on everyone who has contributed to us. Someone will come and get him twenty gold coins."
"Mr. Hamm, since this is a time of war, I have to trouble you and your brothers to enter the cabin. After the battle is over, I will set you free." Lin Fenghan looked at the dejected people and reached out to Pointed below.
The boatswain looked at the gold coins in Ham's hand with jealousy, and said loudly: "Lord Baron, I can be your guide and provide you with geographical information about the deep-water port. Can you give me a chance?"
"Oh! What do you want?" Lin Fenghan turned around and looked at the dark man in his forties with a sad face in surprise, and asked seriously.
"I want gold coins, a lot of gold coins." The boatswain paused and explained himself: "I am a nearby fisherman. I am the kind of sailor who is not part of the regular establishment and is hired. There is no additional security. I am not like the captain. Growing up in Duke Brant¡¯s estate, I have no good impression of Duke Brant.¡±
"I'm the same. Many of my brothers don't have a good impression of Duke Brant. We'll go with whoever has money."
"Yes! Baron, I can also show you the way."
"Me too."
¡¡
Listening to the boatswain¡¯s explanation, more than a dozen sailors and oarsmen who were pulled onto the flagship of the Hailan shouted, causing even the entire crew to be in commotion.
"Okay! Boatswain, I will give you twenty gold coins in total, and I will give you ten gold coins for the other sailors. As long as you help us guide our target, I will pay you gold coins. If you make additional achievements, you will definitely be rewarded." A big reward. I will give you half of the money now, and I will give you the rest after the war. I hope you can do a good job."
"Long live the gold coin!"
"Long live the generous Baron!"
"Your Excellency, Baron, I also want to be a guide. My family is from the north, and I am not afraid of punishment from Duke Brant."
"Me too!"
¡¡
HearThe free sailors who were richly rewarded shouted loudly, and some soldiers with great autonomy also rebelled.
Kelande quietly pulled Lin Fenghan's sleeve and said seriously: "These people are not reliable. If they run away after taking the money and provide wrong intelligence information, we will lose money."
Lin Fenghan shook his head gently and said calmly: "Don't worry! When the war starts later, I will ask these rebellious sailors to stand at the front to persuade them to surrender and weaken the enemy's resistance. This way, we can capture the port more easily and quickly. Then attack the city. This kind of bribery of the enemy is of no harm to us, so why not do it?"
"Well! It does make sense. It seems that this is the reason why you are the lord and I am not the lord." Colander nodded in admiration.
Ham looked at Lin Fenghan in shock and said seriously: "Your Excellency, Baron Yiliuyun, you are one of the most generous nobles I have ever met. I am willing to serve you."
"I know the weak points of the Deepwater Bay city wall, and I will tell you in the next war."
"Okay! Stay with me for now, and join me later." Lin Fenghan patted Ham on the shoulder and said encouragingly.
"Baron, we are about to enter Deepwater Bay in less than four nautical miles." Noni gently reminded.
"Um!"
Lin Fenghan straightened his clothes and shouted seriously: "Order the soldiers to eat more dried meat and dry food now to accumulate physical strength. Order the sailors and rowers to move forward with all their strength."
"yes!"
"Go forward with all your strength."
On the lighthouse of the deep-water port, the guarding soldier suddenly opened his eyes wide and took his companion's hand to point to the east.
"Look, what is that?"
"It's rows of sails."
¡°There are so many boats!¡±
"There are at least a hundred ships."
"Look at their flags."
¡°Oops, it¡¯s the flag of the Elantra family.¡±
"The person who came here is evil! He may be an enemy. Please sound the alarm quickly."
Ding dong!
Ding dong!

¡¡
Huge bells, drums, and shouts kept coming from the high-rise lighthouse. Covered by fog, the white canvas covering the forward section of the ship, the ocean, and the morning sun, the Elantra fleet was discovered less than 7 kilometers away from the deep-water port.
"what happened?"
"Why is the bell ringing?"
"Are the pirates attacking?"
¡°It¡¯s been a long time, probably more than ten years since I heard the warning bell.¡±
"Yes! Go and ask what's going on?"
¡¡
At the port of Deep Water Bay, sailors, soldiers, and businessmen who had not seen war for a long time took to the streets in confusion and asked each other.
At this time, on the bay, the west was slowly weakening, and the east wind was getting stronger. The Elantra fleet, aided by the east wind, accelerated even faster, heading towards the deep-water port like flying.
After more than ten minutes, Elantra's vanguard fleet had entered the deep-water port.
The Kamikaze Express, which was in the front, intercepted the two flanks to the north and south according to the predetermined target, and fired rockets and ballistae at the coast and manned ships.
The armed Clipper, second only to the Kamikaze Express, also entered the planned route and attacked various ships that were preparing to sail away on both sides.
"quick!"
"quick!"
"quick!"
