The sun has sunk below the sea level, and the sunset has faded. In the night, only the lighthouse near Azov City shone with a vague light, guiding the direction of ships at night.
Although the Black Sea is vast, it is mostly surrounded by undeveloped grasslands. For Andrea's fleet, the port of Azov is the only place where they can dock and obtain supplies. And this is the only stronghold near the Black Sea that Ella controls.

In other words, the next naval battle will be a decisive battle to determine sea control.
As he continued to approach the city of Azov, he saw hundreds of warships divided into several columns and docked on both sides of the protruding port. So he walked into the cabin and knocked on Yinpolita's cabin door.
"Andrea's warships are all docked at the port. I have decided to launch a general attack now, how about it?"
Yin Bolita's violent coughing sound came from the cabin door. After a while, Yin Bolita said in an extremely difficult voice: "Then attack boldly. I am not feeling well and may not be able to participate in this operation."
"There is no problem. All the enemy's plans have been thwarted by us. In order to run faster, they lost their bows and arrows along the way. What we have to deal with now is just a remnant army that has no ability to fight back. We forgive them for not being able to fight back." Can’t afford any trouble!”
"Ahem...there are many rivers near the city of Azov. It is difficult for the big ships of the Ligurian Republic to enter, but the small boats of the Pirate Kingdom can. Ahem...need to be careful of the ambush there."
"Don't worry, the sea here is very wide! Even if an ambush appears, our ship can turn around before they rush over! Even without the fire of the ocean, in terms of naval combat capabilities, we still surpass the Pirate Kingdom! "
After a violent cough, the sound of Yin Bolita vomiting came from the cabin. It wasn't until a burst of bright light came on in the cabin that Yin Bolita's voice gradually stabilized.
"Then I wish...cough...wish...cough...wish the general a prosperous military fortune."
In the cabin, Yinpolita lay on the straw mat as if paralyzed. The burst of light had almost exhausted her strength. After Contarini left, she struggled to pick out a strand of filament and put her arm under the lamp to examine it. The arms covered with whip marks are now purple, and some raised black dots can be faintly seen on them.
"Are the symptoms more severe than before...or are they milder?"
Yin Bolita couldn't tell. Her body was running a high fever, which had affected her judgment to a certain extent.
"It must be too light... I used all my magic power."
She couldn't keep up and fell back on the straw mat, gasping for air. The rocking ship also made the light flicker. Between light and dark, she seemed to see a dark shadow on the ceiling looking at her.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead. Suddenly, I felt another wave of nausea welling up from my stomach.
"You still have the last bit of magic power...do you want to use it for yourself?"
She shook her head and rejected the idea - she must not exhaust all her magic power in a place like this. She must leave a little power to protect herself at any time.
She gritted her teeth and clenched her sweaty palms.
"Black Death... I am protected by Apollo... No matter who you defeat, you cannot defeat me!"
A shout of death suddenly came from the deck, and Yin Bolita knew that this was the beginning of the general attack. She imagined the destruction of the fleet of the Republic of Liguria, and laughed even though she was seriously ill.
"It's over... With this, the Qiqiu Empire will be completely and completely over!"
The situation on the sea was just as Yin Bolita imagined. Although the defenders intended to use the port's defense measures to repel the incoming Island Republic fleet, Contarini led the fleet into the port with high fighting spirit. He personally operated the Ocean Fire device, and a tongue of flame spurted out, igniting a large battleship at the front.
There was an explosion. But the ships docked at the port were still rising and falling quietly with the waves, with no lights or soldiers in sight.
"Are those navy soldiers so scared that they don't even dare to stay on the ship? Forget it, let them run for their lives!" Contarini laughed, "Without the warship, Andrea is nothing! Burn! Give them all I let go and burn it!"
The navy of the island republic excitedly controlled the ship and rushed forward. This time they had operational experience. While spraying ocean fire, they were careful not to let the fire block the fleet's path forward. As they continued to penetrate deeper, more and more warships burst into flames in the port.
But accidents happen. A deafening explosion suddenly sounded. Behind him, a ignited battleship burst into flames that exceeded the soldiers' expectations. The fire spread rapidly and soon blocked the retreat of this small fleet.
"Asshole, who did this?" Contarini cursed from a distance, "I've said it several times, be careful with the amount, be careful with the amount! What if it blows up to us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another violent explosion. This time the explosion was very close to Contarini. Contarini wiped the water splash on his face and stared dumbfoundedly at the ship behind him that had just been destroyed. The battleship he lit exploded, and the spreading fire blocked his way back.
A third explosion rang out.
"Not our ocean fire!" someone shouted, "these boats contain explosive things!"
Contarini then began to carefully look at the surrounding enemy ships. It's okay if you don't take a closer look, but when you take a closer look, he almost picked up his hair and threw it into the water: "Isn't this our own battleship??? What did you burn????"
The warships of the Island Republic and the Ligurian Republic have little difference in design, but there are many differences in details. Hearing what Contarini said, the soldiers on the ship took out the lights outside the ship and took a closer look. No, except for the row of large warships parked outside, they were from the Republic of Liguria. They had burned them along the way. The battleships are all in the style of the island republic!
"I remembered that the fleet that sent supplies to the Duke of Burgundy was wiped out by Andrea!" An adjutant patted his head, "These should be the ships captured by them!"
When Contarini heard this, he shouted anxiously: "Stop burning! These ships are all filled with ocean fire!"
"General, look over here!" A soldier pointed forward and screamed.
"What's wrong?" Contarini angrily glared in the direction the soldiers were pointing, only to see many wooden boxes floating toward them as the water rippled.
Contarini's voice became more urgent: "Avoid these wooden boxes! They might also be our ocean fire!"
The soldiers finally all received Contarini's order and stopped spraying ocean fire. But those wooden boxes were still floating, floating, floating, and finally they floated into the fire burning on the sea.
With a "boom", the wooden box exploded, and an even more intense fire burned on the sea.
