The battle flag of the King of Sweden fluttered on the city wall of Azov. Beneath that flag, Amy accompanied Ella, gazing at the firelight of the harbor.
"Your Majesty, they really rushed into our port." Amy said.
The Pirate Kingdom and the Seven Hills Empire are enemies, so it is absolutely impossible for the First Royal Field Army and the Second Royal Field Army to cross the sea on the Pirate Kingdom's ships - but only Ella and the Seven Hills Empire know this. In the eyes of the Island Republic, the Pirate Kingdom is undoubtedly an ally of the Seven Hills Empire. Taking advantage of this gap in intelligence, Ella used a transport ship that was meaninglessly traveling back and forth to lure the island republic's fleet out of the Black Sea Strait.
But this is only the first step. Paracelsus's ocean fire was so powerful and the island republic's navy was so well-trained that even outside the narrow sea area, Andrea was not sure of victory.
As a result, Ella orchestrates Andrea's two defeats.
"The troops that have been hiding in the Black Sea Straits and dare not attack, due to Andrea's repeated failures, have become a arrogant army that pounces on our ships without thinking when they see our ships - arrogant soldiers will be defeated."
Ella stretched her hand back, and a soldier handed over a lighted torch. Beside Ella, a large pot filled with oil and wood has been placed.
"The amount of Ocean Fire we collected from the Island Republic alone is far from enough. Now, can anyone in the Island Republic see through this most critical trap?"
——Yes, the current battlefield is still full of variables. The little bit of ocean fire captured from the island republic can only have a slight interference effect on their fleet. The island republic's reaction in the next few minutes will ultimately determine the outcome of this naval battle.
The firewood floated on the oil pan, like warships from both sides floating on the sea.
Ella took a breath and threw the torch into the oil pan. With a "swish" sound, the entire oil pan burst into flames.
】
"Come on, island republic—the dice is cast!"
At the moment when the oil pan lit up, the ambush laid by Ella sailed out of the river and rushed towards the port.
In the midst of the fire, Contarini ran into the cabin, knocked on the door of Imboli Tower, and hurriedly described the situation on the battlefield.
"We've been ambushed, what should we do?" he asked in a trembling voice.
"Why panic! How big a blow can that team's little Ocean Fire do to us?" Yin Bolita was coughing violently, but her shock and anger could still be heard in her voice, "The enemy's The ambush must be some distance away from us, right? The fire on the sea is also a hindrance to the enemy. You can't turn the bow of the ship before they get close to you?"
Contarini woke up as if from a dream: "I understand! I'll go and stabilize the morale of the soldiers first!"
Listening to Contarini's footsteps hurrying away, Yinpolita raised his body from the straw mat despite the violent coughing. She knew that it was almost impossible to rely on Contarini to stabilize the morale of the army.
"King of Sweden, do you still have any tricks left? Well, since you rolled the dice, let's have a showdown!"
This was the famous saying of Caesar, the founder of the Empire of the Seven Hills, before he decided to go to war with Pompey. The dice have been thrown and there is no turning back for either side. Between Caesar and Pompeii, the winner will be regarded as a hero and completely control the Seven Hills Empire; while the loser will be regarded as a traitor and will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever!
Contarini's roars came from the deck: "The fire is small and the enemy is still far away. Don't panic, turn the ship around!"
The officers and orderlies under him passed on the order one after another, but among the noisy voices of the soldiers, the voice seemed so weak. The sudden explosion and the running out of the ambush had frightened the soldiers of the island republic. Even though the officers had shouted hoarse, the soldiers could not calm down.
Yinpolita picked up the bow of the sun god Apollo, held on to the edge of the ship, and stumbled to the deck. This consumed a lot of her energy. She lay on the ground and took a few breaths, then managed to support her body and shot a burst of light into the sky!
The sudden flash of sunlight attracted the attention of all the soldiers and silenced the noisy army for an instant. So, everyone heard the order clearly: "Don't panic! Turn the ship! Turn the ship!!!"
After all, the navy under Contarini is the foundation on which the island republic relies, and it has undergone sufficient training and many battlefield tests. In Contarini's shouts, the captains of most of the battleships quickly judged the current situation and stabilized the emotions of their soldiers.
For the battleships in the rear row, the Ocean Fire was originally installed at the rear. They quickly formed an arc outside the port, preparing to intercept the enemy's ambush. The battleships rushing in the front row began to use nets to salvage wooden boxes floating in the sea. After the fire on the sea subsided, they turned the bows one after another.
Before Ella's ambush arrived, all the island republic's fleets completed their turn. The ocean fires mounted on the bows were all aimed in the direction of the enemy ships.
Yin Bolita laughed and looked back at Azov City proudly. If Ella's ambush had no way of evading the ocean fire, then Yinbolita would have won the naval battle!
——"I was completely fooled."
Ella's voice echoed from the city walls.
"Why don't you think about it, how could the people sailing out of the river be the main force of my navy?"
An explosion sounded. From behind the island republic fleet. Yin Bolita turned around and was shocked to see the lights of the "bait" warships moored in the port suddenly turned on!
There are three batches of warships docked at the port of Azov City.
The group docked at the outermost edge are the large warships in Andrea's team, used to lure the enemy in and block part of the enemy's line of sight.
The group docked in the middle were warships captured from the island republic. The ocean fire on them was deliberately placed on the side of the ship, making it extremely easy to leak.
After triggering this part of the trap, the island republic was immediately distracted by the ambush arranged by Aila, so that they did not notice it at all - driving some distance ahead, those who were parked in the innermost place and were surrounded by Azov The group of warships most closely protected by the city's fortifications are really the main fleet of the Republic of Liguria!
The navy of the island republic is a well-trained force. Even if an ambush is laid in the distance, their sailors can turn the ship back before engaging in battle.
- But at this distance, they were too late.
Amidst the desperate sound of the Avros pipe, the Ligurian navy under Andrea launched a surprise attack from the unsuspecting rear of the island republic's fleet.
