The huge fleet advanced in three-row echelons, with the first row of small triangular sail warships, the second row of heavy three-row sail warships, and the third row of medium-sized sail warships. Among them, the sailing battleship Clipper is located on the left and right wings of the entire fleet, responsible for rapid mobile strikes. The huge fleet is arranged horizontally for nearly one kilometer, and drives along the coast toward Cape Seawatch with great momentum.
In a village along the coast, more than a dozen fishermen looked at the approaching fleet in shock. Several of them pointed at the Elantra and shouted.
"Look! A huge fleet appears there."
"The six-star flag is the latest iconic flag of the Elante army. My relatives, the tailors in the Elante Islands, took over the commission from Baron Elante and specially sewed many such flags."
"This flag is called the Holy Love Infinite Reincarnation Flag, or the Holy Love Reincarnation Flag for short. It was invented by Baron Yiliu Yun. It is specially used as the latest symbol of his power and contains a lot of meanings."
"You know so much, maybe you have been to the Elante Islands."
"Of course I have been there, have you forgotten? Last week I specially collected the grain from the village and sold it to Elante Castle at a price exceeding the market price. Have you forgotten the silver coins I distributed to you?"
"Oh! I see. It turns out that you went to Elante to make a fortune without saying a word. I heard that Baron Elante has recently attacked many pirates and confiscated many ships and gold coins. Now he is attacking Waterdeep City. There is a lot of money in the warehouse. There¡¯s no place to spend it.¡±
"Brother, you have been to the Elante Islands. I want to know if the Elante Islands are as good as the legend says. They say that the poor there can get free bread and rice porridge supplied by the government. There are no slaves there. All nobles and rich people are slaves. The servants were ordered to be released unconditionally, and the people there are very friendly, is it true?"
The forty-year-old fisherman and businessman nodded thoughtfully and said seriously: "I have been there. In order to save three copper coins for food, I went to the relief canteen to get a piece of bread. The bread was so big that it was as big as three palms. It is enough for a person with a small appetite to eat for a day. The people in that place are indeed very nice. Of course there are some ruffians, but once discovered, these people will face severe punishment. Overall, it is better than our villages and small towns. too much."
"Wow!" The young man in his twenties opened his mouth in surprise and continued: "I heard that being a militiaman in Yilant will give you three silver coins in full every month, and there will be additional bonuses for meritorious service in combat, which is one more than mine. The monthly hard work of fishing and farming will earn more, or else I will join the army."
"Shh!"
The forty-year-old old fisherman quietly pressed the young man's mouth and warned: "The situation around us is very unstable now. Although Baron Elant is somewhat talented, his enemy Duke Brant and the surrounding vassal nobles are not either. Vegetarian, if Baron Elantra is defeated, his troops and helpers will definitely be hanged on the gallows. Your father is not young anymore. Although your eldest brother is still supporting the family, you must cherish your own life. ah!"
"Although being a soldier makes a lot of money, you still have to do what you can!"
At this time, a young man ran up from the sand and shouted: "Dad! Brat's knights came to the village to collect food and militia, and the village chief called you to go home."
"What?"
"Damn Baron Bratt, he still can't escape this war. Fortunately, all our excess grain has been sold, otherwise we would have benefited these beasts again." The old fisherman said, slamming his fists.
"How about that! Uncle, let's join the Elantra army." The young man said hopefully.
"We'll see then! If they let us charge and die, we will rebel." The old fisherman shook his head hesitantly. At this moment, corresponding choices also appeared in the fiefdom of Baron Bratt and the surrounding vassal territory of Duke Brandt. Many farmers were forced to take out the food at home, picked up sickles and hoes, and followed the nobles on the crusade against the Elant army. On the battlefield, unfortunate things in the world are about to happen. Many rumors about the Elante Islands are spreading in illiterate villages, small towns, and cities.
The Elante Islands, which itself is not very well-known, has become more widely known because of the war it is preparing for. Its policies and dreams contain information that has made countless people at the bottom eager to know, and they have all inquired about all the news about Elante.
On the battleship Hailan, Lin Fenghan, Kelande, Vera, and Rana stood on the deck to bask in the sun. It was already past 10 o'clock. After passing through a crowded town along the way, the Elantra fleet followed the monsoon wind and embarked on the channel to Cape Seaview. At this time, in less than an hour's journey, the fleet was about to arrive at Seaview. Cape port.
Kelande lies in the Elantra CraftsmanThe newly made couch was constantly swaying as the Hyland moved forward. He hummed and said, "Baron, this couch you created is so cool! Especially when lying on a sea ship that is rocking back and forth." It will sway back and forth with the waves without you having to use any force. You are really creative!"
"Really?" Lin Fenghan said with a slight smile while lying on the couch: "My ambition when I was a child was to be an inventor and a scientist who studies the truth. Later, reality did not allow me to do this, but I still like machinery and invent some small things. .
Lana shook his head in confusion and asked: "Speaking of Baron, can we really attack Cape Watch with a small number of people?"
"It depends on the situation! Our strategic goal is not rigid. As a commander, we must be flexible and versatile. Our purpose is to weaken the enemy's resources, weaken the enemy's resistance, and contain the army besieging Waterdeep City. When we get to Waterdeep City, we will see We will analyze the situation depending on the situation.¡±
"Baron, the triangular sail warship of Brant's central fleet appears ahead, and we have been discovered." The messenger quickly handed over the detected information to Lin Fenghan.
"Well! Let me have a look." Lin Fenghan picked up the monocular handed by the attendant and looked at the ocean to the north. A fast battleship with a triangular sail of more than ten meters stayed on the rocks of the ocean channel.
At this time, the Duke Brant fleet reconnaissance ship also discovered Elantra's huge fleet, and bonfires and thick smoke rose from the rocks.
As Lin Fenghan continued to stare, a line of black smoke also rose into the sky seven or eight nautical miles away.
Lin Fenghan put down the telescope depressedly and frowned: "Damn it, these guys are getting smarter and smarter. They have set up so many reconnaissance ships at sea and ordered the entire fleet to be on alert and enter combat mode."
"yes!"
The war is about to start, and everyone takes action with serious faces.
