However, this is still a narrow terrain. The huge fleet shrunk into the narrow sea route, which inevitably caused some chaos. Although Halfdan's fleet is well-trained and its progress is not blocked much, it is very difficult to turn and turn around in this narrow sea area.
This situation made Halfdan keep a cautious eye. When passing through the delta, he divided a quarter of the fleet and sailed towards another sea route. In this way, even if there were troops ambushing there, they would not be able to threaten the flanks of the main fleet. .
After making this arrangement, Halfdan let the fleet continue to catch up with confidence. Not long after, Halfdan's home team had passed halfway through the three-way intersection.
Just at this moment, there was a sudden explosion from the delta!
Before everyone could recover from the shock caused by the loud noise, a piece of news spread like crazy to every soldier's ears - an enemy force suddenly jumped out from behind and was attacking the rear of the fleet. !
At the same time, the enemy fleet that had been ahead suddenly turned around and came back. In the blink of an eye, Halfdan's fleet was blocked in the narrow sea area.
——There was no report from the fleet heading to another sea route. This means there aren't any enemies there. Halfdan's fleet can leave from that sea route at any time and get rid of being attacked from both sides.
"It's actually a double team? What is the enemy commander thinking?"
Even in this situation, Halfdan did not panic at all. He sat on the boat and thought calmly:
"Why not choose the first two places? You have obviously put all your efforts into ambush, but you chose a place where the enemy can easily escape... It is simply stupid."
What's more, judging from Sealand's possible military strength, there is absolutely no need for him to evacuate.
"Don't worry about the enemies in the rear. The entire army will break through from the front with all your strength!"
Halfdan gave such an order.
Unexpectedly, blazing fire burst out from the bow of Zealand's ship. All ships approaching were set ablaze. The soldiers fell into the water wailing, and in the blink of an eye, the front and rear of the fleet turned into a sea of fire.
In the narrow terrain, Halfdan's troops could not exert their advantage. The Sealand fleet equipped with Ocean Fire appears to be unstoppable. The familiar snake head carving on the bow of the ship suddenly looked so ferocious and terrifying in the hands of the enemy.
He heard a soldier shouting in fear: "Loki...it's Loki, the god of fire!"
"Where did that God of Fire Loki come from! I've heard that it's a weapon from the Seven Hills Empire, called 'Ocean Fire'!"
Halfdan shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Our numbers are far superior! The entire army attacks forward and breaks through the enemy's frontline troops!"
No one followed his orders. Starting from the center, the fleet began to flee to another sea route without enemies.
"No evacuation! Break through from the front! We will win after we break through!"
Halfdan roared at the top of his lungs, but amidst the sea of fire and wailing, his voice seemed so weak.
Halfdan suddenly realized the enemy commander's intention: she had deliberately left that escape route.
Moreover, it is left very conspicuous so that people can see it at a glance.
——Since there is a way to escape, how many people are willing to die generously?
The fleeing fleet lost order and was soon blocked in another sea route. Sealand's ships continued to spray fire and pursued the defeated army at an unhurried speed.
Not in a hurry - they neither seek to quickly expand the results of the war, nor do they just let Halfdan's fleet go. They were using their actions to tell Halfdan's fleet: We are in pursuit. But if you run faster, you can escape.
Halfdan's soldiers beat each other to gain the right to escape by that sea route.
Halfdan soon felt the burning sensation brought by the flames - the enemy ship spitting fire had already arrived near him.
Halfdan is protected by Baldr, the god of light. Unlike Sigurd's slowly spreading black mist, Halfdan's light can deprive enemies of a large area of vision in an instant. Whether it is a personal duel or a legionary battle, this moment of intense flash can give him a decisive advantage.
However, even if he uses magic now, Sealand's army only needs to close their eyes and continue to spit fire forward. The flames that have been ignited will not be extinguished by the light, and the scattered troops will not be gathered by the light.
The protection of Baldur, the God of Light, also made him immune to any magic damage - but Ayla did not use any magic.
In this case, the magic that Halfdan was so proud of could not play any role.
This way of fighting is simply like...
Somehow, he thought of that ancient myth - about the end of the gods.
Like his soldiers he cried out in terror:
"She's not the Valkyrie... she's Loki! She's Loki, the god of fire and trickery! The evil god Loki is back!"
His white shirt burst into flames. He took off the clothes in embarrassment and jumped into the water.
"Valkyrie? Loki? What are they shouting about?"
Ella stepped onto Halfdan's boat confused. She noticed Fudan's white shirt and picked it up. She also noticed the book that Halfdan had left aside, and subconsciously read the text on the cover: "The Afternoon Secrets of Tabatha and the White Knight"? Hebrew? Who can really understand this group of pirates? This kind of book?"
"Sister Shieldmaiden, I don't understand why we didn't choose to be near West Fore instead of here? You see, many enemies ran away."
Gan asked from the side.
"First of all, Lily told me that Halfdan is protected by the God of Light. Just hearing this name, whether the black mist in Siful can help us hide is a big question. Secondly, running away... is not very Okay? If we don't give them a chance to escape, they will turn to break through our lines with all their strength."
If you see a fire burning, you will want to run away; if you are cornered, you will fight back at all costs - this is the same for humans and dogs.
The difference in military strength between Ella and Halfdan is really too big. And the ocean fire in her hand is an inferior version with reduced power. We really can’t expect to have a head-on confrontation with Halfdan like this.
Therefore, the opponent must be left with room to retreat.
When you return to the army, don't contain it; when you surround the army, you must be surrounded; don't press the enemy when you are poor - the art of war.
"But if they run away like this, they will soon reorganize to counterattack, right?"
"No, if my judgment is correct, they no longer have such a chance."
…
…
Halfdan climbed into a boat and fled in panic from the battlefield. There were many people who escaped with him, but they were all scattered and had little morale.
But for some reason, Halfdan laughed three times at the sky. This caused the soldiers on the same ship to ask: "Boss... what are you laughing at in this situation..."
"I laugh at Ella's futility and Scipio's wisdom. If it were me, I would never let the enemy escape easily! Although I lost a battle today, my strength is not lost. When I regroup the troops, she What can you do to me?"
Before his laughter ended, a medium-sized fleet suddenly sailed towards them in front of them. Standing on the bow in the middle is a heroic young man. He wears a crown, a red cloak, a set of exquisite armor, and a gorgeous sword.
Halfdan recognized who it was at a glance - the ruler of England, "King of Knights" Alfred.
"Halfdan, where is your white shirt?" Alfred asked from a distance.
