Chapter 96 Counterattack or Retreat

Commander Louis withdrew his gaze from the magic airship that disappeared into the distance, and turned to look at Earl Russell beside him, with a slightly puzzled expression.

"Lord Russell, this place is more than 2,000 kilometers away from the Principality of Standing. No matter how fast the magic airship is, it is impossible to get a reply from Xu Yi within half an hour, right? What are these guys from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doing?" What are you thinking?"

Earl Russell was still staring at the direction where the magical airship disappeared, as if he wanted to keep it in his sight. He shook his head slightly when he heard the question from Commander Louis, and said solemnly: "President Xinfei Chamber of Commerce They will come up with some weird things, since they said they can contact Xu Yi within half an hour, no matter how far away they are."

"You really admire the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

Commander Louis shrugged, thinking that the Deputy Chief of Staff of Russell was a well-known person in the Candela Empire Navy who highly respected the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as if in his eyes, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was omnipotent.

"This is the truth." Earl Russell withdrew his gaze and stared at Commander Louis with a solemn expression. "I have personally seen many miraculous things created by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If you don't pay enough attention to it, you will definitely suffer a lot."

Commander Louis let out a hey, apparently in disbelief.

However, he was too lazy to argue with Russell, the nominal chief, on these issues. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Master Russell, tell me...why did the Imperial Army arrange this operation?"

Earl Russell glanced at him: "Why do you ask that?"

"The Kingdom of Luerson doesn't have any so-called navy at all, and it is even less capable of transporting materials in by sea. The only one capable of doing so is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Our action this time is not clearly aimed at Xinfei. The Chamber of Commerce. I’m very surprised. It was discussed within the empire some time ago, but how to get some military magic machinery through cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, why is it necessary to deal with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in a blink of an eye?”

"How would I know the thoughts of those big shots." Earl Russell responded lightly.

Seeing Earl Russell's indifferent response, Commander Louis couldn't help but feel a little bored.

After turning his head and glanced at the twelve magic ships of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce surrounded by his own ships on the sea in the distance, Commander Louis couldn't help but smile.

The performance of the three frigates sold by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Candela Imperial Navy is far superior to that of traditional wooden sea ships. In the Candela Imperial Navy, all fleets are vying for demand.

But for one thing, the Kandela Empire Navy has a limited budget. It is impossible to purchase a large number of frigates from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Secondly, if they want to buy them, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not provide them with much. So until now, what the Candela Imperial Navy has is still only the first three frigates purchased for the first time.

And now before Commander Louis, there are ten frigates and two large cargo magic ships that make countless people who want to engage in shipping covet.

After a while, as long as the new flying merchants let them board the ship for search, the Kandela Imperial Navy will look for opportunities to control these magic ships in one fell swoop and bring them into their own hands.

Because this operation is mainly responsible for the First Fleet of the Candela Imperial Navy, and the First Fleet was originally the main fleet of the Imperial Navy. So if nothing else happens, all of these captured magic ships will not be allocated to the First Fleet. There will be more than half of the points in the past.

If more than five frigates and a large cargo magic ship can be allocated, Commander Louis can be sure that the strength of the First Fleet will increase significantly.

Although Earl Russell reminded Commander Louis out of caution that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet might not succumb so easily, Commander Louis was not worried about it at all.

No matter how powerful the frigates of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are, they cannot break through the encirclement surrounded by more than a hundred Thunder-class warships.

What's more, they still have two cumbersome large cargo magic ships as a burden, and it is impossible to escape together.

One of the reasons that really gave Commander Louis the most confidence was that he was very convinced that the fleet under Xinfei Merchant would not dare to resist at all.

No matter how fast the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed in recent years, and how advanced the technology they have now, they are only a mere chamber of commerce after all, so how dare they go to war with the strongest Candela Empire on the mainland.

Thinking of this, Commander Louis looked at the ten golden steel battleships on the sea in the distance because of the reflection of the sun, and couldn't help showing a happy smile as if seeing a treasure in his hands.

He wants to order these ships!

###

Half an hour says it's fast or not, but it's not slow if it's slow.

The sun that was originally hanging above the head just slipped slightly to the west in the sky, and a black shadow quickly approached here in the far west sky.

After a while, the black shadow had turned into a fast-flying magic airship.

Seeing the appearance of this magic airship, the sea surface that was originally very quiet due to the confrontation between the two sides suddenly seemed to become lively.

All eyes were on the magic airship, watching it fly over one of the large cargo magic ships in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce fleet, and then slowly landed.

Supervisor Aldridge and two assistants who had been waiting on the docking platform of the magic airship walked over quickly, waited for the hatch of the magic airship to open, and rushed in directly.

A middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was about to rush out from the magic airship. Several people were caught off guard and almost collided with each other.

Supervisor Aldrich was startled, and avoided the side, and found that this man was the captain of the magic airship, Ulysses, and immediately asked, "How is it? Has the President replied?"

Ulysses nodded; "Yes. We flew to the nearest communication point and got in touch with the president through the magic communication network. After reporting the situation here to the president, the president gave a clear Order."

"What is the president's order?" Director Aldrich asked immediately.

Ulysses glanced left and right, then winked at Director Aldrich. Get off the magic airship.

Director Aldridge understands. Follow Ulysses. Enter a closed room on the magic ship.

Only then did Ulysses take out a magic talking box from his pocket and saluted Director Aldrich.

"I recorded the order of the president, you can listen to it yourself."

Director Aldrich nodded, took the magic talking box, and skillfully found the play recording button on it.

The fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sails on the sea all year round, and it is very difficult to obtain direct orders from the top of the Chamber of Commerce.

Later, Akali came up with a way, which was to use the magic circle used by the magic communication network, after a slight improvement. It has the function of recording sound, and then plays it through the magic talking box.

The commands transmitted in this way will be more clear and intuitive, and it will be difficult to imitate, and as long as the magic airship can be released to enter the magic communication network currently laid by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this can be done at any time.

Compared with the previous fleet entering the endless sea, it was often unable to get in touch with the Chamber of Commerce for a long time, resulting in many orders being unable to be delivered.

After Director Aldrich pressed the button, the familiar voice of Xu Yi sounded from the magic communication box.

"Director Aldrich, I now formally issue an order to you as the president of the chamber of commerce."

Hearing this sentence, Director Aldridge straightened up involuntarily. Pretend to be listening intently.

"The transport fleet and escort fleet under the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are inseparable and important assets of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. They represent the interests of the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. No one or any force shall be violated. I order you to reject the Candela Imperial Navy. An unreasonable request. If the Kandela Imperial Navy tries to use force, I will give you the right to fight back or temporarily retreat according to the situation."

Hearing this, Director Aldridge was stunned.

The meaning of the chairman...is that he intends to completely ignore the request of the Kandela Empire Navy, and even carry out...a counterattack?

By God! Is the chairman crazy? He actually wanted to launch an attack on the regular army of the Candela Empire!

Supervisor Aldrich twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Ulysses opposite, but found that the expression on his face was more normal than his own.

It's just that the strangeness in his eyes already shows that he doesn't understand the order of the chairman.

After waiting for a while, Supervisor Aldrich found that the recording ended here, and the chairman did not give any further orders or instructions.

"This... Ulysses, what do you think?" Director Aldridge turned off the magic communication box and asked Ulysses hesitantly.

"Don't ask me, you are the commander of this fleet." Ulysses said.

Director Aldrich couldn't help but cursed, grabbed Ulysses by the collar, stared into his eyes, and shouted in a low voice: "Fuck you, Commander! Tell me, What should we do now? The chairman must be crazy, he actually asked us to attack the Kandela Empire navy! Doesn’t he know that this is equivalent to declaring war on the Kandela Empire?"

Ulysses glanced at him, and said coldly: "Of course the president knows this better than you."

"Then what exactly does Mr. President want to do? Is he really planning to declare war on the Kandela Empire?"

"I don't know. What the chairman wants to do is not something I need to care about. I only know that the chairman has given an order, and the only thing to do is to carry out this order."

Seeing Ulysses' expressionless face, Director Aldrich was stunned for a moment, and then spit forcefully.

This Ulysses belonged to the guard of the chamber of commerce, and he had been instilled with the concept that the orders of the president were the first priority. He and Ulysses were arguing about this issue, and they were playing the piano against each other.

"I……"

Director Aldridge was about to speak again when he suddenly heard a loud noise outside the ship, shaking the small room to buzz.

Director Aldridge's face immediately changed.

"Damn it, those guys from the Kendela Empire are attacking! Why didn't they say anything first!"

Director Aldridge was about to rush out of the room, but was grabbed by Ulysses.

"What are you doing?"

"Director Aldrich, please make a decision immediately. Should we fight back, or should we retreat?"

Director Aldrich was stunned for a moment, then he waved his hand vigorously: "Nonsense! Give me full firepower! Fuck these bastards of the Candela Empire to death!" (To be continued...)
