Contarini pursued Andrea's fleet. The sun rises and sets again. This pursuit lasted a whole day.
So, Impolita said to Contarini: "I was just skeptical at first, but now I am convinced that the King of Sweden must have laid an ambush somewhere."
"Why?" Contarini asked. These days, he sees nothing but the butt of Andrea's fleet.
"There must be a difference in speed between the ships of the Island Republic and the Republic of Liguria. No matter whether the Island Republic is faster or the Republic of Liguria is faster, no matter how small the difference is, after a day of sailing, it must have been shortened. The gap is widening. But you see, we have been unable to catch up with Andrea's fleet, and Andrea's fleet has never disappeared from our sight. Isn't this obvious?"

"It makes sense!" Contarini said, "Then, should we pursue him?"
"We must pursue. We cannot let the King of Sweden continue to transport reinforcements from the Seven Hills Empire. But we need to take certain precautions. Contarini, I don't understand naval command. What do you think is the weakness of your fleet? where,."
"Actually, the intensity of the Ocean Fire has far exceeded my expectations. If we want to talk about its weakness, it is the range." Contarini said, "It is not the range of the effect, but the aiming range. The Ocean Fire is fixed on the ship The head can rotate in a very small range. If the enemy suddenly attacks from the side or the rear, it will have no effect. However, the training level of our navy is not much lower than that of Andrea's navy. As long as the soldiers do not I'm afraid, even if I suddenly find the enemy behind me, I won't be able to turn my head back before the enemy arrives."
"In other words, the weakness of the Ocean Fire is that when it sails into a sea area where it is difficult to turn around, enemy forces suddenly appear in the rear?" Yin Bolita pondered for a while, "In that case, we might as well modify the ship and add a few ships in the rear. How about installing the ship’s Ocean Fire from bow to stern?”
"What a great idea!" Contarini patted his head. "With the intensity of the Ocean Fire, the fleets in the back row rarely have a chance to engage in battle. Mounting the Ocean Fire to the stern might actually be better than mounting it to the front. it works!"
"Hopefully this will be a 'surprise' for the King of Sweden."
Yin Bolita smiled slightly. But her body suddenly shivered for some unknown reason.
"Impolita, what did you think of?" Contarini asked.
Impolita stabbed Contarini in the left hand and sprained his right wrist in the capital of the island republic. Therefore, when Giovanni's letter asked him to obey Impolita's orders, he was very resistant in his heart. But Yin Bolita's suggestions every time were very reasonable and convinced him. Thinking that Yin Polita hurt him because he let go of the Qiqiu Empire's fleet, which was eventually destroyed by Yin Poli Tower, while he lamented that he was indeed incompetent, he also had some respect for Yin Poli Tower.
Yin Polita shook his head: "It's nothing. It's just a little cold on the sea. I'm going to add some clothes to prevent the sea breeze from blowing in the future."
After saying that, Yin Bolita walked into the cabin alone.
The chase continues. But that night, the island republic's fleet completed the transformation of Ocean Fire overnight.
At noon the next day, Andrea's fleet entered a narrow sea area.
"As you expected!" Contarini broke into Yinpolita's cabin and said excitedly, "They really want to introduce us into the narrow sea!"
"Then let's proceed as planned...cough, cough, cough."
Yinpolita wrapped herself in a winter quilt and coughed violently.
"I seem to have caught a cold and don't want to blow the wind. Come to me if anything unexpected happens."
"I got it! Everything is as we expected, there shouldn't be any problems!"
Contarini slammed the door shut again. His angry shout sounded outside the door: "Stay in formation and catch up!"
After Contarini left, Impolita put her hand on her heart. There was a flash of light in her palm, but it quickly disappeared.
"I don't know what other tricks the King of Sweden has... I have to try to keep as much magic power as possible."
As she spoke, she coughed a few more times.
Under the command of Contarini, the fleet of the Island Republic sailed into the narrow sea in an orderly manner. The ships in the front row were still sailing in the front row, while the warships that had installed the fire of the sea on the stern stayed behind. After breaking. After driving like this for a while, a cry of killing suddenly came from behind. A fleet suddenly attacked from behind an island and attacked the rear of the island republic fleet.
"It seems like this is the King of Sweden's ambush." Contarini laughed, "In this narrow sea area, let them get closer and feed them the fire of the ocean!"
Among the ambush, several light warships were still at the forefront. They relied on their brisk speed and the collision angle of their bows to sink the island republic's warships from behind. More large ships followed, and the Ligurian soldiers above roared with excitement, seeming to have victory in their hands.
But as the fire of the ocean spewed out, everything changed. The small boats were instantly ignited and then overturned by the waves amidst the explosion. The crew above surfaced from the sea and struggled to seek rescue from friendly forces. Such a change caused the roar of the Ligurian soldiers to stop abruptly, and the warship's progress suddenly slowed down.
"Andrea, you must have never imagined that I have seen through your plan a long time ago!" Contarini shouted arrogantly at the Ligurian warship ahead, "Come on, let me see what else you have." What a skill!"
The sound of the avros pipe sounded again on the sea. Under the command of the music, the ambush troops of the Ligurian Republic began to retreat, while Andrea's troops moved forward. After reaching a certain distance, the large warships on both sides began to throw huge rocks at the island republic's fleet at the same time. Contarini felt a sway in the sea. The trebuchet mounted on the ship was so powerful that it could be used to break open a stone city wall!
"Still holding on!" Contarini waved his hand and ordered, "Don't worry about the ships behind you, just keep moving forward, sail out of the narrow area, and fight Andrea to the death!"
Although Andrea commanded the fleet and struggled to support it, they still could not stop the Island Republic fleet. After all, after several more small boats were overturned by the fire of the ocean, Andrea finally gave up the resistance and led the fleet into ruin. And escape.
Contarini hugged his belly and burst out laughing: "My skills are at the end of my rope, old guy Andrea is finally at his wits' end too!"
After laughing, he waved his big hand.
"Don't rush to pursue them. The only place they can go is Azov City. Just maintain the formation and approach Azov City!"
