Andrea's fleet cruises the waters outside Azov every day.
Andrea herself has moved her residence to the Flying Zealander. He originally wanted to move directly to the captain's room of the ship, but when he found out that it was a girl's room, he sealed the room and found another clean cabin.
Compared to the sailor's cabin where many people slept together, the room Andrea found was obviously much cleaner and more spacious. Hanging on the bulkhead was an exquisite shield with a family crest that Andrea didn't recognize. It was obvious that the original owner had a high status in the pirate kingdom. There was some paint scattered on one side of the cabin, and an unfinished painting on which a beautiful woman showed a charming smile.
In addition, the original owner seemed to have a condition in his legs and feet, and many devices to assist walking were installed in the room.
These days, Andrea lives in this cabin, floating on the ocean with the Flying Zealander.
Although Andrea was eager to dismantle the Trebuchet, the Fire of the Sea, and the structure of the ship itself, he was careful not to let the ship dock in Azov's harbor. The reason is simple: he believes that the Pirate Kingdom may launch a strong attack on Azov City at any time. In order to prevent the enemy from recapturing the large ship, it must be in a position where it can maneuver at any time. As for research, it must wait until a safe place is reached.
However, the Azov City Council dismissed Andrea's concerns - they had already repelled an attack by the Pirate Kingdom. Before that, they had repelled three attacks by the Khazar Khanate. They believe that as long as the water supply is not cut off, the city of Azov will be impregnable.
Andrea proposed that the army of Azov City formulate a surprise attack plan to completely smash the siege of Azov City by the pirate kingdom. But this proposal also failed - they had already attacked once, and that time they had the right time, place, and people, but they were defeated by Ragnar Lodbrok's magic.
"Relax, the pirate kingdom has come all the way, and it won't be able to surround Azov City for long." The generals of Azov City comforted Andrea.
Andrea almost broke her crutch when she returned to the ship. The soldiers were very fast, but his fleet was dragged outside the city of Azov because of the hesitation of the army. You know, the Ligurian Republic is still at war with the Island Republic. Even if his fleet stays here for one more day, the situation of the battle may change drastically.
Therefore, when he learned that the pirate kingdom's fleet was sailing from the river into the sea, he did not hesitate to issue an order to annihilate the enemy fleet.
The narrow terrain at the mouth of a river is vulnerable to ocean fire. So Andrea ordered the fleet to let the pirate kingdom's fleet sail into the sea first. His fleet was watching not far away.
"Don't worry, Marshal." Ansaldo said with determination, "This time, we will definitely make the Pirate Kingdom come back!"
Andrea's face was clouded. He ordered the fleet to attack because this was a rare opportunity. But he knew in his heart that if the Pirate Kingdom dared to make a comeback after suffering such a tragic defeat, it must be prepared.
Andrea has experienced countless tragic naval battles, but no naval battle has ever made him as uneasy as today. The enemy's commander was his defeated general, but it cast a small shadow in his heart.
Half of the pirate kingdom's fleet has entered the sea.
Andrea took a deep breath, and her steady voice sounded like she was trying to flatten all the ripples on the sea: "...Attack!"
The trumpet sounded. The navy of the Republic of Liguria headed towards the pirate kingdom's fleet at full speed.
The Pirate Kingdom's fleet had just entered the sea. The ships at the rear were squeezing forward, and the ships in front failed to disperse in time. The entire formation was in chaos. The navy of the Republic of Liguria shouted excitedly, as if they had won a victory.
"What would you do, little girl?"
he asked himself.
As the ship approached, Andrea noticed that the place where the sails should have been hung on the Pirate Kingdom ship was now replaced by something like a long wooden board. This made him extremely confused - this would definitely affect the balance of the ship and further reduce the pirate kingdom's maneuverability. Moreover, if the wooden plank is held high on top, it cannot increase the protection of the ship. The other side cannot tear down the wooden plank and throw it as a throwing object, right?
"Be careful to stay mobile and don't give the opponent a chance to board our deck... We don't have time to wait for the next opportunity. We must annihilate all the enemy forces today!"
Under Andrea's order, the Ligurian Republic's fleet launched the final charge. They maneuvered the ship beneath them as deftly as if they were wiggling their own fingers. They approached the enemy at a cunning angle - neither facing the sea fire nor giving the enemy a chance to climb onto the deck and fight.
They easily came to the side of the Pirate Kingdom's fleet. The Pirate Kingdom was completely unable to keep up with their movements. In front of Andrea's fleet, even the most elite army is no different from a peasant at sea.
They are true professional navies and they control the sea!
But at that moment, the wooden planks on the mast of the Pirate Kingdom's ship suddenly fell towards their ship.
In order not to be boarded by the pirate kingdom, the navy of the Republic of Liguria always pays attention to keeping a distance from their ships. But they never thought that the wooden planks hanging on the mast could be lowered. The strange wooden plank was quickly laid between the two ships. A beak-like device in the middle of the plank firmly latched onto the Ligurian Republic ship, connecting the two ships as a whole, forcibly pulling the ship from the galloping ship. The boat stopped!
The pirates on the ship roared loudly and rushed onto the enemy ship on planks!
"Interesting." Andrea ordered with great interest, "Try ramming the enemy ship from another direction!"
This was also an action that had been rehearsed many times by his fleet. As the horn sounded, the navy of the Republic of Liguria tried its best to turn the ship around and appeared in the other direction of the Pirate Kingdom's fleet. They didn't give the Pirate Kingdom the slightest chance to react, and sent the horns symbolizing death towards the pirates with lightning speed!
The pirates slowly turned the joystick. The mast actually turned in one direction, fell over, and hooked the overcoming ship of the Republic of Liguria.
There are actually soldiers on board the ships of the Republic of Liguria specifically for boarding battles, but not many. The situation in the Mediterranean countries is roughly the same. In order to better control the ship, a large number of skilled sailors are needed on board, and the number of the army can only be reduced accordingly.
When Andrea was arranging the fleet, he never imagined that there would be another country that would fill an entire ship with an army. As soon as the pirates jumped on the deck of the Ligurian Republic's ship, the battle turned overwhelmingly in favor of the pirate kingdom.
The mast rotated left and right, like a crow keenly watching the movements around it. It is an ominous bird that brings death. Once a ship is caught by it, death will come on board.
