Chapter 62 It's Not Honest to Run Away
"The ship on the opposite side, we are the Royal Third Fleet of the Candela Empire, and now order you to stop immediately for inspection. If you disobey, you will bear the consequences!"
Leslie frowned even more.
It wasn't because the person calling was not polite, but because the other party was about 500 meters away from here, but the voice of the shout seemed to be ringing in his ear, very clear and bright.
This effect can be achieved, obviously because there is a magician on the opposite ship who has launched amplifying magic.
Unless they are also like themselves, equipped with the magic amplifier developed by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce based on the amplification magic.
After receiving the loudspeaker from the crew beside him, Leslie cleared his throat, tested the effect of the loudspeaker, and then raised his voice: "The fleet on the opposite side, you have entered our border, please Immediately stop moving forward, or you may suffer a counterattack from our side, hereby warn.”
Standing on the deck of the first huge wooden sea-going ship opposite, Kandolei, the deputy commander of the Royal Third Fleet of the Candela Empire, was slightly taken aback, then furious.
The guys on the opposite side simply don't know what to do!
He led the entire First Squadron of the Royal Third Fleet to dispatch, representing the Candela Emperor* side. How dare the guys on the opposite side be so rude, and even dare to say anything... to fight back?
He dares!
Candolei snorted coldly, and raised his eyebrows to the adjutant who was in charge of shouting.
The adjutant understood, nodded, continued to stand in the amplified magic circle maintained by the magician, and shouted to the opposite side with an emphasis: "People on the other side pay attention, this is the last time we warn you, stop immediately for inspection. If If you dare to defy, we will attack immediately!"
Leslie couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that these guys who called themselves the Royal Third Fleet of the Candela Empire didn't intend to reason with him at all.
But from the way they ran over aggressively with more than a hundred ships. Obviously it wasn't meant to be reasonable.
Of course, think about it carefully.
The Royal Fleet of the Candela Empire is in charge of the waters of the Candela Empire, and now a mysterious fleet like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Escort Fleet pops up randomly on its own territory. Even if they were all directed at the pirates in this sea area, countless dozens of pirate regiments were defeated. But in the eyes of the Royal Fleet of the Candela Empire, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face.
No matter how many islands there are in this sea area, it is still the business of the Royal Fleet of the Candela Empire, and no one else can take care of it.
It would be easier to say that this mysterious fleet is a new pirate group. The Royal Fleet doesn't need any warning at all, just launch an attack directly.
However, judging from the news sent back, this mysterious fleet only launched attacks against pirates after it appeared in this sea area. But it has never harassed normal fishing boats and merchant ships, it seems that they came here specially to fight against pirates.
Moreover, according to information obtained from other sources, this mysterious fleet seems to have some connection with a certain chamber of commerce in a small country on the border of the mainland.
Although the Royal Fleet of the Candela Empire does not need to pay attention to this small country and small chamber of commerce, as one of the two major empires on the mainland, it still needs a reputation.
Therefore, after confirming the whereabouts of this mysterious fleet, the Third Fleet of the Royal Fleet, which is mainly in charge of this area, decided to make contact through formal channels first.
As for bringing the entire Third Fleet and Fourth Squadron in one go, they were completely worried about any accidents.
According to the information collected from various sources, the combat power of this mysterious fleet is extremely powerful, and none of the pirates in this sea area can withstand their attacks.
Candore didn't believe this at first, and only regarded it as an unreliable rumor. I feel that those pirates deliberately exaggerated the strength of the enemy because of their failure.
But now I saw with my own eyes that the size of the more than twenty ships floating on the sea not far away was a circle larger than the thunder-class royal warship under my feet, and the metal light was reflected from the whole body. After seeing the incomparably huge sea-going ship, which seemed to be entirely made of metal, he was really taken aback.
Such a sea-going ship made of metal has simply exceeded his usual cognition.
In his opinion, no matter what kind of metal it is, the weight is extremely terrifying, and all the materials used in such a large ship are even more ridiculously heavy, but they can now float on the sea steadily, which is simply unbelievable!
As for how such a ship sails on the sea, even the sailing speed is said to be very fast. Candorei was even more confused about what was going on.
However, this will not affect Candore's confidence.
This time he led the entire Royal Fleet Third Fleet Fourth Squadron to dispatch, with as many as thirty-eight Thunder-class super-giant sea ships under his command. One hundred and thirty-seven rainstorm-class medium-sized combat ships, commanding even more than 10,000 soldiers.
Don't say that there are only about twenty ships on the opposite side. Even if it was twice as many, he still had absolute confidence to take down the opponent easily.
However……
In Leslie's view, the more than a hundred ships that made Candolei full of confidence are not much different from a pile of rotten wood.
In the past two months, he has easily defeated countless pirates, and has sufficient experience in sea combat.
Although the ships owned by those pirates cannot be compared with the regular sea fleet of the Candela Empire in front of them, and the quality and combat effectiveness are obviously too different, but after many battles, Leslie has understood that the new fleet he is now leading The escort fleet of the chamber of commerce adopted a completely new combat mode.
Compared with the traditional naval warfare mode of the Sainz Continent, which still stays at 'shooting' with rockets and finally adopts side-to-side battles, the combat mode of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort fleet does not know how many grades are higher.
Unless these ships on the opposite side are also equipped with the same military magic machinery such as magic artillery, Leslie will not think that the other party will pose any threat to him.
Thinking of this, Leslie was determined, thought for a while, smiled, and didn't take the other party's warning to heart at all, but picked up the magic amplifier in his hand.
"Hello, Royal Fleet of the Candela Empire. Please allow us to identify ourselves. We are the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce of the Principality of Standing, and we are just passing through this sea area now. We don't have any intention of attacking the Candela Empire. Because we are sailing in normal times There are strict regulations at the time, so please forgive me. We can't just let you board our ships for search."
Leslie's words have softened a lot compared to what he said just now, and he made it clear that he doesn't want to be impulsive with the Royal Fleet of the Candela Empire.
However, these words were heard in Candorei's ears. But it has another meaning.
"Huh! Still won't let us search? Dole, warn them one last time. If they still don't listen, don't be polite!"
Adjutant Dole, who was in charge of delivering the message, nodded, and was about to continue speaking, but suddenly found that the more than 20 steel monster-like sea ships on the opposite side were all shaken, and they started to back slowly.
Candolei's face immediately darkened.
"You still want to escape? It's wishful thinking! Pass my order. Attack immediately!"
Adjutant Dole's face changed slightly, thinking that the other party had never shown any hostility, and had already revealed his identity as a guard under a regular chamber of commerce. The reputation of the Imperial Royal Fleet may have some impact.
When he was about to advise Candole, he found that the expression on the face of the deputy commander was stunned, as if he had seen a ghost.
Following his gaze, Adjutant Dole saw a scene that shocked him extremely.
At first. The twenty or so ships on the opposite side were only slowly retreating, but in the few seconds he had just turned around, when he looked back. However, it was discovered that the more than 20 ships did not need to turn around at all, but their speed suddenly increased extremely fast.
More than 20 extremely huge ships raised more than 20 huge waves on the calm sea, and they retreated hundreds of meters away in just a few breaths.
Adjutant Dole stared dumbfounded at the twenty or so ships that were rapidly moving away on the sea like ghosts, thinking that although the deputy commander said that he would launch an attack, the nearest ship on the other side was already more than one year away from him. Kilometers is simply beyond the attack range of all rockets, so how should we launch an attack?
And looking at the terrifying speed of the opponent, I am afraid that it is even in the case of a tailwind. It is impossible for them to catch up.
Candolei also stared in astonishment at the more than 20 iron ships that raised huge waves in the distance, and after a while, he was stunned. Only then did he react, and he shouted angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze! Chase me! Never let them run away like this!"
Adjutant Dole smiled bitterly in his heart. But he still honestly conveyed the deputy commander's order.
It is not so easy for more than a hundred ships to fully convey the order.
After finally waiting for all the ships of the 3rd Fleet and 4th Squadron of the Royal Fleet of the Candela Empire to receive orders, and finally start to move slowly, Adjutant Dole suddenly found that dozens of bright lights suddenly lit up on the sea ahead. point.
At first, these light spots were just as insignificant as fireflies in the night sky, but in an instant they approached here, turning into groups of fireflies flying over the sea.
Some rumors about this mysterious fleet flashed through Adjutant Dole's mind, and he was startled. When he was about to shout out, he saw the balls of flames crossing a parabola in the air, and fell on him and the deputy commander together. The ship is about 200 meters in front of the sea.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—"
Countless huge deafening explosions suddenly sounded one after another, and dozens of water droplets burst into the sky in an instant on the sea that was only slightly turbulent because of the fast escape of the opponent's ship.
These drops of water rushed up to a height of nearly 20 meters from the sea surface, as if dozens of huge fountains suddenly appeared on the bottom of the sea.
Accompanied by the explosion, sea waves with a height of several meters spread rapidly to the surroundings, and passed to this side after a while, shaking the entire hull of the Thunder-class super-giant combat sea ship under Adjutant Dole's feet They all shook violently.
The smaller rainstorm-class medium-sized combat ships next to them were even more violently bumped by the waves, and several of them were even in danger of capsizing.
Adjutant Dole turned his head to look at Candolei with lingering fear, but saw that the deputy commander's face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water, and the infinite anger that did not need to be clearly visible was shot out of his eyes.
These attacks were obviously sent by that fleet, and they were an obvious warning to them.
The Royal Fleet of the Candela Empire has been established for so many years and is invincible in all nearby sea areas. When did it suffer such humiliation.
However, Kandorei knew very well that the opponent was obviously showing mercy, otherwise, if such a violent attack fell directly on their fleet, or even directly on their ships, the consequences could be imagined.
After being silent for a while, Candorei punched the boat pole viciously, and squeezed out a few words between his teeth.
"Okay, I will remember the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!" q
