June 14th, Port Berbera.
The Alliance Fleet and Shanhai City's ocean fleet gathered at the port, preparing to exterminate the pirates.
The Alliance Fleet had more than 200 warships, 20,000 NPC sailors provided by the feudal lords, and 40,000 adventure-type players. The [Cheetah Mercenary Group] alone had 10,000 of them.
The two fleets docked side by side at the port, proving the saying, "There is no harm without comparison." Before this, the Somali feudal lords had thought that their warships were not bad, but now, they felt ashamed.
"How embarrassing!" Some feudal lords sighed.
According to the original plan, the 40,000 adventure-type players would be scattered on the 200 warships of the Alliance Fleet. Seeing the warships of the ocean fleet, Farah hoped that the ocean fleet could carry a group of adventure-type players.
"What do you think, Marquis?" Farah asked.
"Sure."
Ouyang Shuo nodded calmly.
Because of the Tita incident, the other Somali guilds had a grudge against the ocean fleet. Even if they envied the majestic warships of Shanhai City, they were not willing to fight on the same ship as the Shanhai City navy.
Helpless, Farah could only place the 10,000 people of the [Cheetah Mercenary Group] on the ocean fleet.
Seeing this, a strange light flashed in Ouyang Shuo's eyes.
…
At 11 am, the Alliance Fleet set sail on time.
There were three large pirate groups active in the Gulf of Aden.
The Sirius Pirate Group was the largest pirate group in the Gulf of Aden. Their leader was called Efya. They were well-organized and had a strict hierarchy. They mainly robbed merchant ships. The livestock exported from Somalia were often extorted by this pirate group.
The Bertran Pirate Group was the earliest pirate group in the Gulf of Aden. Their leader was called Puntland. Their equipment was rather outdated, and they were the weakest of the three pirate groups. They mainly robbed small fishing boats.
The Plum Blossom Pirate Group was the most vicious pirate group in the Gulf of Aden. Their leader was called Merca. They were well-equipped, but they were ugly. They robbed every ship they saw, even the feudal lords' warships.
The three pirate groups had a total of more than 60,000 soldiers. It was almost impossible to take them all down. In addition, the three pirate groups had formed a tacit understanding with each other. They each divided their territory and did not move together.
Therefore, the Alliance Fleet planned to take them down one by one. This time, their target was the Sirius Pirate Group.
According to the intelligence of the Somali players, the Sirius Pirate Group had more than 25,000 people and more than 150 ships of various sizes. Their lair was built on a mysterious island named Heavenly Wolf Island.
The Sirius Pirate Group protected their base very well. Even the other two pirate groups didn't know the exact location of Sirius Island. was.
The Allied Forces were naturally confident in their plan to encircle and suppress the pirates. They had already grasped the location of Celestial Wolf Island. This time, they were heading straight for it.
"Take down Sirius Island!" This was the goal of the Somali players.
After the fleet set sail, Ouyang Shuo called Zheng He and Chen Dameng to the command room.
Not only was Ouyang Shuo heavily injured, but Chen Dameng was also pushed out of the corpses by the Divine Martial Guards. If Chen wasn, he was Chen, he would have died on Star.
"Sirius Fleet, Chen, I," to "," Chen, "", "Chen,", Fleet, "," ", and", "". "Chen,". "
"What do you think of Farah?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"Fang." Chen Dameng's eyes widened in disdain. He gritted his teeth and said, "In this general's opinion, he's a complete hypocrite. He's so cruel to his companions. How can he be a good person? Looking at him smile, this general felt a little scared. He must have deliberately leaked the Marquis's whereabouts that night. "
"The Marquis suspects this person as well?" Zheng He thought further.
"More or less!"
"If that's the case, why did the Marquis allow them to board the ship?" Zheng He was puzzled.
Ouyang Shuo took a deep breath and slowly said, "The territory has spent countless resources on this voyage, and it's not just to reach the destination. The purpose of this voyage was to establish a safe and reliable route in the sea along the way. Conquering Star Nation is for this reason, and assisting the Somali players to encircle and annihilate the pirates is also for this reason. "
"Somalia is located at the mouth of the Gulf of Aden, and its strategic location is also very crucial. If we can establish a permanent stronghold here, it will be of great significance to open up the Grand Line. "
"If that's the case, why don't you mobilize the army and conquer Somalia?" Chen Dameng interrupted.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head. "With the strength of the four great naval fleets of Qingshan Hai City, it's not impossible for them to attack Somalia with the proper tactics. But sometimes, starting a war is the last resort. "
"The destruction of Star Nation has already attracted the attention of the world's feudal lords. If Somalia also falls, then Qingshan Hai City's behavior will be too ugly, and it will cause the other countries along the way to unite against the enemy. If that happens, I'm afraid that the ocean-going fleet will not be able to reach England smoothly. How can we talk about ocean-going trade? "
"This …" With Chen Dameng's brain, how could he understand all these twists and turns.
Zheng He had some understanding and said, "Therefore, the Marquis's true intention is to completely gain the trust of the Somali players. To let them take the initiative to allow us to establish a permanent base here? "
Ouyang Shuo nodded in appreciation. He had said a lot of things with the intention of enlightening Zheng He. As the commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Navy, if he did not have an international strategic thinking, he would not be able to keep up with the development of the times.
In addition to their original abilities, the terrifying growth talent of historical officials and generals was also a precious asset. They also had high growth potential, otherwise, why would they be so precious?
Gaia created a large number of historical officials and generals and gave them advanced intelligence. Its purpose was not to create a group of rigid artificial intelligences. Gaia's true purpose was to let historical officials and generals interact with the feudal lords to evolve once again.
Otherwise, what use would it be if they materialized on Hope Planet in the future?
…
"Then, how should we deal with the Inhumans on the ship?" Zheng He asked.
Ouyang Shuo already had a plan in mind. "Stay alert. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. "
"Understood!"
Zheng He and Chen Dameng nodded in unison.
Ouyang Shuo could not explain the matter of the traitor in detail, so he could only adapt to the situation. Since things had developed to this point, Ouyang Shuo naturally could not give up halfway.
If he wanted to act, he had to be thorough.
The next morning, Sirius Island was already in sight.
Looking down from the sky, Sirius Island looked like a huge wolf's head embedded in the blue sea. There was a mountain on the island, and a huge flag with a wolf's head was hanging on the mountain. It was their pirate flag.
As their headquarters, how could the Sirius Pirates not arrange for external security? As soon as the Alliance Fleet approached the nearby waters, they were discovered by the scouts and fired a signal flare.
The black signal flare rose into the sky, and the naval battle began.
Those with good eyesight could see that the pirate flag on the mountain on the island was being waved forcefully. Instantly, the entire island was in an uproar.
It was as if they had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.
At the same time, red signal flares rose from the mountain and exploded in the sky.
…
Facing the small fries on the periphery, the ocean fleet did not even bother to make a move. They were all left to the Alliance Fleet. The Somali adventurers were unusually excited about killing these outlying outposts.
It was as if they could already see the dawn of victory.
When the Alliance Fleet was about to approach Sirius Island, a huge black fleet came from afar. Every warship in the fleet was hung with a pirate flag. The black warships were painted garishly.
There were skulls, swords, demons, sea beasts, and other graffiti. It was like a different kind of art exhibition.
The Sirius Pirates had made their move!
Without a doubt, this was a very strange naval battle. Both sides had made their moves and unexpectedly met on the surface of the sea.
The Alliance Fleet players looked at each other.
Logically, even if the outlying outposts had discovered the fleet, they would not be able to set sail so quickly. No matter how well-trained they were, they would need at least half an hour to assemble.
No matter how they looked at it, it felt like the other party was waiting for them at the port. What was supposed to be a sneak attack had suddenly turned into a head-on encounter.
However, at this critical juncture, there was no time for them to think carefully. "Let's fight!"
Compared to the ASEAN Navy, both the Alliance Fleet and the pirates were equipped with a small number of firearms. Small firearms and heavy cannons were already installed on their main warships.
Therefore, at the beginning of the war, it was a battle of cannons.
"Open fire!"
The rumbling sound of cannons exploded on the surface of the sea, creating huge waves. The warships that were hit basically only had the fate of sinking.
The most eye-catching performance on the battlefield was naturally the ocean fleet. A large number of cannons, well-trained navy, coupled with a reasonable battle formation and brilliant command, caused the pirates on the opposite side to suffer.
As such, the morale of the Alliance Fleet was greatly boosted.
For the first time, the Somali players had a good impression of the ocean fleet.
The two fleets fired at each other as they quickly approached each other.
After all, cannons were rare and were only the appetizer of the naval battle. The real cruel battle was still the boarding battle.
The strange thing was that both sides had the request for boarding battle. For pirates, boarding battle was their best combat method, so it was understandable.
What about the Alliance Fleet?
Don't forget, there were 40,000 adventure-type players in their main force. If they didn't engage in a boarding battle, these adventurer players were nothing more than decorations.
The screaming adventure-type players wished they could immediately jump onto the pirate ship and fight to the death with them.
During the whole process, only the ocean fleet was still constantly using cannons to fight back. One pirate ship after another was sunk, and countless pirates fell into the sea like dumplings.
The warships of both sides were getting closer and closer.
Those with good eyesight could already see the ferocious faces of the enemies on the opposite warships.
Hatred and killing intent were constantly gathering.
At this moment, behind the Alliance Fleet, two huge fleets suddenly appeared like ghosts.
