One side of the U-shaped bay of the Adriatic Sea is the Apennine Peninsula, and the other side is the land of the Seven Hills Empire. The small countries on the Apennine Peninsula may have turned to the island republic, which is more dangerous; while the side of the Seven Hills Empire is safer because of Bokarios.

However, taking the land route is inherently slower than taking the water route. If they drag dozens more ships, the island republic's fleet will soon leave them far behind. This is very likely to delay the fighter plane.

So for the next period of time, Ella's fleet still took the water route, following the island republic's fleet from a distance. Of course, the Island Republic could not let such a fleet follow them all the way, and sent small teams several times to expel it. However, even the fastest small warships of the island republic cannot match the speed of the longships of the pirate kingdom. As soon as they chased, Ella turned around and ran away; as soon as they turned the ship, Ella's fleet also turned back.

After several times, the island republic gave up the idea of ​​expelling this small fleet. Only a small team was left behind, slowly, while the main force continued to sail at the same speed. In this way, although Aila's fleet was still following them, the distance from their main fleet kept getting farther and farther.

Pocaarios was very anxious about this. But Ella didn't panic at all.

"You see, the opponent's main fleet is actually not traveling very fast. As I expected, they are waiting for some opportunity, and this opportunity will not come immediately for a while. We still have time."

As Ella expected, before the encounter with Aulus' fleet, the island republic's fleet stationed itself at the port of a small country in the Apennine Peninsula.

Ella's fleet took the opportunity to run to the coast of the Seven Hills Empire. Through the ropes on the bow, the manpower on the stern, and the rolling logs that were constantly laid under the ship, the fleet moved on the land. The troops at the rear of the island republic discovered the movements of Ella's fleet, but they could only stare at the sea, watching helplessly as Ella's fleet bypassed their defense line.

Not only the island republic, but also Bokarios had their eyes widened. Boating on dry land is nothing new for Ella and Amy. But for Pocaarios, this simply shattered his worldview.

"This is too outrageous!" he shouted, "What's the difference between us and the army idiots who are slowly pushing siege engines like this?"

"We are originally the Army?" A pirate next to him answered without thinking.

Pocaarios was speechless.

Night comes again. In order to successfully bypass the island republic's fleet and get in touch with Aulus in time, the pirates once again marched through the night.

During this time, Ella told Pocaarios about her plan. When hearing Aila's suggestion that Aulus temporarily change the prepared battlefield, Bokarios shook his head in shock: "It's too risky! All the preparations made by General Aulus will be in vain if the battlefield is temporarily changed! The enemy will definitely They will seize the opportunity to launch a pursuit, and we won’t have time to prepare for the second battlefield, let alone fake defeat and lure them over!”

"One hundred percent of Aulus's plan has been seen through by the enemy. If you continue to stay where you are, you will be waiting for slow death! Although it is risky to temporarily change the battlefield, it is precisely because of this that you can deceive the enemy!"

"This is not a question of whether to lie or not, but it is simply too late! The Island Republic's fleet is less than half a day's voyage from Lord Aulus's fleet, and it is too late! Do you understand?"

"If you just want to move the battlefield, the enemy will catch up immediately, and of course it will be too late." Ella said, "But what if we launch a sheep attack on the enemy at the same time?"

"It's too late to move, and you still want to draw troops to launch a sheep attack? The enemy will rush up and it will be over!"

"After all, Aulus occupies a favorable terrain. It is impossible to launch an attack rashly before the enemy is fully prepared! Avoiding the enemy's eyes and ears through sheep attacks is the best way to buy time!"

Ella and Pocaarios argued for a long time, and finally convinced Bocaarios to accept Ella's plan and let him go to convince Aulus.

After sparing the island republic's navy, the pirates took advantage of the darkness and pushed the ship into the sea again, and then quickly headed towards the station of Aulus under the leadership of Pocaarios.

When the sun rose again, the fleet of the Seven Hills Empire finally appeared in front. Perhaps because they received news of the approaching fleet of the Island Republic, they were arrayed neatly in a narrow sea area in a state of war readiness.

"This place is not convenient for the fleet to move, but it is indeed a good place to exert the power of ocean fire." Ella thought in her heart.

In the distance, the naval soldiers of the Qiqiu Empire were bathed in the brilliant sunshine. Although the solid ships under their feet were no longer brand new, they were well maintained. There were occasional scars, which also clearly showed their illustrious military exploits. .

For some reason, Ella's eyes were a little moist. This is the fleet she desperately saved in Antilia, and it is the barrier on the sea of ​​the Seven Hills Empire. She encountered a coup when she came of age at the age of sixteen, and will be eighteen today. From the time when the timber was lying in the lumberyard to pushing the last ship that made up this fleet into the ocean, it took an unknown number of eighteen years. The oldest ship in this fleet, probably even older than her grandfather.

Realizing that the fleet on the other side was not the island republic's fleet, Aulus sent several small boats to test it. Ella wiped her eyes and prepared to hide and let Bokarios conduct subsequent negotiations. one

At this moment, she suddenly saw something appearing in the northwest sky - something like a flying mushroom.

"The flying machine invented by Paracelsus? Did the Island Republic build another one to detect the enemy?"

The northwest wind blows leisurely. As the hot air balloon continued to approach the Qiqiu Empire's fleet, more and more soldiers raised their heads, pointing at the strange flying object in surprise and curiosity. Even Aulus ran from the cabin to the deck, gaping at this unprecedented instrument.

No one knows what this thing is, no one knows what this thing is for, and no one knows what to do if they see this thing.

The hot air balloon moved forward slowly. As long as the wind direction remains unchanged, it is destined to come to the sky above the Seven Hills Empire Fleet.

It's arrived. A bottle fell from it.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, the bottle fell rapidly from the sky——

"Pop", the bottle fell into the sea.

There was a moment of silence, and then there was a loud bang, and the violent explosion almost overturned the nearest boat. On the sea where there was only water, a large ball of fire suddenly appeared, burning strangely and coquettishly for a while before gradually fading away.

Ocean fire!

The northwest wind suddenly became strong and powerful. The sky in the northwest darkened - the soldiers of the Qiqiu Empire were horrified to see hundreds of similar aircraft flying towards their fleet in the sky!
