Chapter 95 Search on Board
A jet of water soared into the sky not far from the front frigate, and then scattered in the sky, turning into a mass of splashes.
"Send the order to stop." Director Aldrich looked at the dark fleet on the sea in the distance, and frowned deeply. "What exactly does the Candela Imperial Navy want to do?"
After leading the third fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet to leave Nissi Port, Director Aldridge originally thought that the weather is clear and the sea is calm. Construction begins on a planned island.
In this way, the whole plan will have a good start, and my task this time can be regarded as a perfect completion.
However, when they were less than 300 kilometers away from Nissi Port, they encountered a huge fleet flying the flag of the Kandela Empire Navy here.
At first, Director Aldrich didn't think it was unusual, thinking that the Kandela Imperial Navy had some mission, or it was just an ordinary exercise, so he went around to say hello and continue his itinerary.
Unexpectedly, when they were about to approach, the Kandela Empire Navy on the opposite side projected a few boulders, which just hit the sea in front of them, full of warning.
This surprised Director Aldrich.
Since the Kandela Imperial Navy purchased three frigates from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the two parties have been cooperating for some time, and the relationship between them is quite good.
The transport fleet and escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce often encounter the Kandela Empire Navy in this southern sea area. Nothing has ever happened, and on the contrary they get along very well.
Why this time. Did the Candela Imperial Navy suddenly launch an attack on its side?
Director Aldridge looked up. I found that the large cargo magic ship I was on had the flag of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce flying high. It is very conspicuous, the Kandela Imperial Navy cannot admit its mistake.
When he was wondering, a white frigate slowly sailed out from the Kandela Imperial Navy fleet opposite.
After a while, the correspondent of the large cargo magic ship where Director Aldrich was on hurried over with a magic talking box.
"My lord, I have received a communication request from the Kandela Empire Navy."
Director Aldridge frowned even deeper, took the magic talking box, and pressed a button on it.
"Hello, this is Aldridge, the director of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Transport Plus. May I ask who is the adult of the Candela Imperial Navy?"
A low but sonorous middle-aged man's voice sounded from the magic communication box.
"This is Mark Louis, the commander of the First Fleet of the Kandela Imperial Navy. Director Aldrich, now I am issuing an official warning to you on behalf of the Kandela Imperial Navy. Ships are not allowed to pass through it without the permission of the empire. Your fleet has already violated this prohibition, but since you belong to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I can allow you to return to the Principality of Standing."
"Huh?" Supervisor Aldrich blinked, and could hardly believe his ears. "You said you blocked the southern waters of the Luerxun Kingdom? Are you serious?"
"Of course." Commander Louis' voice became very serious. "This is the decision of the Imperial Army. You have no right to resist. I will give you ten minutes. Exit this sea area immediately, or you will bear the consequences."
"At your own peril?" Director Aldrich couldn't help but sneered in his heart.
Although the fleet of the Candela Empire on the opposite side has more than a hundred sea-going ships. But he really didn't pay much attention to the other party.
Because the Kandela Imperial Navy fleet on the opposite side only has three frigates previously purchased from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Compared with the ten frigates owned by its own side, the combat effectiveness is not at the same level.
The only thing to worry about is that the speed of the other two large cargo magic ships is much slower than that of the frigates, and they are not equipped with many military magic machines, so they basically have no combat effectiveness.
In case of a fight, these two large cargo magic ships may become a burden.
However, the issue of combat effectiveness is not the most important issue. The most important issue is that it is impossible for him to really fight with the Kandela Empire Navy Fleet.
Even if this naval battle can be won, it is equivalent to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce officially declaring war on the Candela Empire.
The consequences of this are extremely serious, and Director Aldridge dare not do this seriously.
After thinking for a while, Aldridge said tentatively, "Commander Louis, we are only carrying out ordinary trade activities according to the Chamber of Commerce's plan this time, and it won't cause any hindrance to your ban, right?"
"No!" Commander Louis' resolute answer sounded from the magic communication box. "You have violated this prohibition by entering this sea area during this period. If it is not for the sake of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the first thing we have to do now is to sink you. I will warn you again and leave this place immediately piece of sea!"
Director Aldridge was slightly angry, but looking at the vast sea of more than a hundred ships and the flag of the Candela Empire Navy on the opposite side, he could only give a wry smile and sighed dejectedly: "Okay, let's retreat now." Go back. Commander Louis, regarding what happened today, I will definitely go back and report the truth to the Chairman.”
This was a small counterattack he was unwilling to do.
However, Commander Louis was not moved at all, and a sneer came from the magic communication box.
"Even if President Xu himself is here, he will only make the same choice as you are now."
Director Aldridge shook his head helplessly, and nodded to the deputy beside him.
"Send down the order, and all will withdraw to Port Nissi first."
The two large cargo magic ships and ten frigates belonging to the third fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet turned around collectively and prepared to return to Nissi Port.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it was started, two loud noises sounded nearby.
Aldridge turned his head in astonishment, and saw two thick drops of water falling one after another.
After he stayed. Pick up the Magic Talking Box again. He snapped, "Commander Louis. What do you mean?"
Commander Louis' cold voice sounded from the magic communication box.
"Director Aldrich, has your fleet just left the Kingdom of Luerson?"
"So what?" Director Aldrich swallowed the words back to his stomach, and after forcing himself to calm down, he asked in a deep voice, "Does this have anything to do with you?"
"Presumably you should know that our Candela Empire has imposed a complete blockade on the Kingdom of Luerson. If you have just left the Kingdom of Luerson, you have violated this ban. I have reason to suspect that your ships are equipped with and Luerson Personnel and materials related to the Kingdom of Wilson. I ask you to stop immediately and accept our inspection."
"It's just too deceiving!"
Director Aldrich was furious in his heart, but his rationality told him that he must not get angry now, or he would give up his excuses.
After taking a deep breath, Director Aldrich forced himself to regain his composure, and said in a deep voice, "Commander Louis, your doubts are unreasonable. We can leave according to your request, but it is absolutely impossible for you to board the ship." search."
"If you refuse this request, then we will regard you as concealing something." Commander Louis said coldly: "If you are still unwilling to cooperate, then don't blame us for being rude."
"My lord, the ships of the Candela Empire have moved." The deputy at the side suddenly reminded in a low voice.
Director Aldrich looked up and found that the Kandela Imperial Navy fleet in the distance was slowly moving. Surround yourself here.
Judging from this posture, they obviously intend to surround themselves, leaving no room for escape.
"My lord, what should we do now?"
Director Aldridge squinted his eyes at the approaching Kandela Imperial Navy fleet, took a few breaths, then pulled his deputy and whispered in his ear: "If there is any accident, the ten frigates will immediately choose to break through. Do not hesitate."
The deputy was startled: "Then what about the two cargo ships?"
"The speed of these two cargo ships is too slow, it's hard to get away, so let's just stay here and leave it alone." Having said this, Director Aldridge gritted his teeth, feeling a pain in his heart.
Since he became the director of the Third Fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet, he has never caused any problems with his ships. Unexpectedly, the first time there is a problem now, he will directly abandon two expensive large cargo magic ships. The loss is not worth mentioning. not big.
"But……"
"It's nothing to worry about." Supervisor Aldridge prepared the words of his deputy. "It is impossible for us to go to war with the Kendela Empire, so we can only escape now."
The expression on the deputy's face changed, and finally he could only nod his head and accept the order.
"Hurry up and get ready, I'll delay for a while." Supervisor Aldridge patted the deputy on the shoulder, motioned him to leave, and then opened the magic communication box again. "Commander Louis, please stop, I am willing to accept your request."
"Oh?" Commander Louis seemed a little surprised. "You're willing to let us upload the search?"
"Yes." Director Aldridge responded. "However, this matter is too important. If I agree without authorization, I will definitely be punished when I return to the chamber of commerce. So I hope that you can give me some time, Commander Louis, and let me and the chairman or CEO Get in touch and explain the situation."
"Contact Chairman Xu?" Commander Louis' tone revealed a trace of disbelief. "It's more than 2,000 kilometers away from the Principality of Standing, how do you contact President Xu?"
"Our chamber of commerce has a special method that allows me to contact the chairman in a short time. Commander Louis, can you give me half an hour?"
"Are you sure you can get President Xu's reply within half an hour?"
"Sure."
There was silence in the magic communication box for a while, and then the Kandela Imperial Navy Fleet, which was approaching here, slowly stopped and continued to approach.
However, these ships still spread out on the sea, enclosing all the ships of the Third Transport Fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
"I'll give you half an hour. If there's no reply after half an hour, then I won't wait any longer." Commander Louis' cold voice sounded again from the magic communication box.
"it is good."
Director Aldrich agreed, and a moment later, a magic airship suddenly flew into the air from the large cargo magic ship where Director Aldrich was on, and flew quickly towards the endless sea in the northwest direction. (To be continued..)
