In the middle of the night on June 15th, the seventh year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao left in a hurry from Lai Dima's commercial port, and embarked on the journey back to the holy land of Yigong territory. He didn't want to stay one more night, but asked Fuer Swamp to lead the fleet back to the voyage overnight.
Around June 24, the seventh year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao's fleet sailed smoothly to the southernmost cape of the Central Continent.
During Qu Mao’s voyage here, he encountered a huge sea storm at the southernmost cape of the Central Continent, losing four auxiliary warships and causing thousands of casualties.
Passing through this sea area again, Qu Mao couldn't help becoming nervous, and just after dark, he walked into the command cabin where Fuer Swamp was.
Sir Mrak has been staying in the troop carrier with Qumao's high-ranking warrior guards since he boarded the ship from the Port of Phlox in the Principality of Phlox. Even when Qumao landed in the commercial port, Sir Mrak did not accompany him Even though he was going to pass the southernmost cape of the Mid-Continent now, Sir Mrak still had no intention of leaving the troop carrier.
However, the ninth-level master-level water magician Jenny Walter was by Qu Mao's side, which made Qu Mao feel a little bit of comfort.
Full Swamp saw Qu Mao enter the command cabin nervously, and said: "My lord, storms on the sea don't exist anytime and anywhere, more often they come suddenly, so you don't have to be so nervous, my lord."
Qu Mao said: "I'm not nervous, it's just that when I came last time, I lost thousands of soldiers, which made me feel very uncomfortable, and nothing happened to the left and right, so come here and watch."
Jenny Walter smiled and said: "My lord, you are always so kind and treat all soldiers and residents equally, maybe this is where your charm lies."
Qu Mao smiled awkwardly, accepting Jenny Walter's compliment.
After a night of tense preparations, the dawn of June 25th, Year 7 of Tianxuan came soon.
A round of bright red is still on the sea level in front of the super warship, squeezing hard to the sea level. There is no strong wind in the entire cape area, and the sea is rippling with ripples, which looks so peaceful and peaceful.
Finally, the rising sun jumped out from the sea level and sprinkled golden rays of light all over the sea surface, making the sea surface resplendent.
Qu Mao let out a long breath of turbid air, tidied up his exhaustion all night, and was about to return to his cabin to rest for a while, but before he could leave, Fuer Swamp smiled wryly and said, "My lord, there is trouble." !"
Qu Mao was taken aback, and searched the sea carefully, but found nothing unusual, so he asked in puzzlement: "Fuer, you have been in the command cabin with the two of us, and have never gone out.
Jenny Water and I didn't find anything unusual in the calm sea, why do you say we're in trouble? "
Fur Swamp smiled wryly and said: "My lord, the lookout just sent a message: about 20 kilometers ahead, a large number of unidentified warships were found."
Qu Mao was stunned again, and asked, "What is the approximate amount?"
Looking at Qu Mao, seeing that Qu Mao was still frowning and thinking, Fuer Swamp said: "The entire fleet lowers half sails and slows down. Tell all warships in the fleet to stay alert."
Qu Mao thought for a while, and asked: "Fuer, how far is our route from the coastline? Is it possible that we were observed by the coastline while sailing?"
Fuer Swamp said with a smile: "My lord, our route is fixed at a distance of 50 kilometers from the coastline. Under normal circumstances, even if someone on the coastline is equipped with a monocular like our Yigong territory, they basically cannot observe our fleet. Sailing the oceans."
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Well, Fuer, let the fleet continue to sail 50 kilometers away from the coastline, and see if it can avoid the fleet composed of unknown warships ahead."
Full Swamp nodded, and said to the orderly: "Messenger, inform all the warships in the fleet to sail 50 kilometers away from the coastline, and the overall direction is still to sail toward the holy place."
After the orderly promised loudly, he rushed out of the command cabin to send the order.
An hour later, Fuer Swamp said to Qu Mao again: "My lord, you can't avoid it! The unidentified warship fleet is obviously targeting our fleet.
Not only is the fleet in front only about 10 kilometers away from our fleet, but also unidentified fleets were found on the left and right sides. According to visual inspection, the number of warships in the fleets on both sides should not be less than 500 warships.
Our fleet has sailed about 5 kilometers away from the coastline, and the signs of avoidance are very obvious, but the unidentified fleet has no intention of avoiding it, but maintains a consistent movement with us. Obviously, the other party can also observe us. And no thoughts that pass us by. "
Qu Mao frowned again, and said, "We should have no enemies in China."
Jenny Water said indifferently: "My lord, you shouldn't guess, the subordinates think that it shouldn't be your two friends who are the chosen ones who revealed the itinerary of our fleet."
Qu Mao shook his head and said: "I know, I will not doubt my two God-Chosen friends, the attack this time is probably just a symbolic encounter, and the unknown forces saw that we only have 100 warships, so they want to To eat our fleet."
After thinking for a while, Qu Mao asked: "Fuer, we only have 100 super warships capable of combat. Is it possible to open a road and return to the Holy Land?"
Full Swamp stared at Qu Mao for a long time, and said, "My lord, are you joking with your subordinates?
When did the navy of our Yigong territory be reduced to the point of fleeing?
Your subordinates are considering how to wipe out all the fleets of the enemy in three directions, but you let them escape! The subordinates think that you are insulting the navy of our Yigong territory..."
Qu Mao glared at Fuer Swamp, and said: "Fuer, I know our navy is very powerful, but we only have 100 warships now, and the enemy has more than 1,500 warships that can fight, I don't want to be on the way There have been casualties of our fighters and warships."
Full Swamp sighed, and said: "My lord, this subordinate believes that we take advantage of our speed to defeat the unknown fleet in front and return directly. It should be the result of returning to the Holy Land with zero casualties."
Qu Mao gave Fuer Swamp a blank look, and said, "Fuer, I think you must be crazy."
