"Husband, for a swordsman, agility and sharpness are far more important than strength."
In a small castle not far from the seaside of Tianshui City, Nair was teaching Søren swordsmanship.
At this time, most of the Queen Island's fleet had returned and docked.
Even the Rock Men and Rock Bandits had begun to set up camp on the shore, enjoying delicious food and wine.
The entire Tianshui City fell into the silence before the final battle.
And Søren grasped this rare opportunity to learn swordsmanship from Nair.
"Agility is the speed of nerves and reaction. As long as you are fast enough, you can dodge the enemy's attack or hit the enemy."
"Sharpness is the ability to discover the enemy's flaws and exploit them."
"Calamity Sword has a total of thirteen moves. Now, let's practice the first move!"
At this time, Ye Jingyu reported, "Master, Princess Jung Yeon has arrived."
Nair continued to correct Søren's posture as if she did not hear it.
Ye JingYu lowered his head, pursed his lips and smiled, "Miss is here too."
"Ah …" Nair blushed. "Sister is here too. Let's go down quickly."
…
"Daughter Suo Ningbing greets Aunt." Suo Ningbing knelt down and looked at Yan Chao 'er with admiration.
Yan Chao 'er's expression was slightly awkward. Then, her gaze softened as she helped Suo Ningbing up.
Princess Yan Xue 'er's beautiful eyes stared at Suo Ningbing curiously. She was filled with excitement and eagerness.
"Xiao Xue." Suo Ningbing called gently.
"Sister." Yan Xue 'er said sweetly. She immediately ran over and held Suo Ningbing's hand.
She fell in love with this sister at first sight. She was exactly the same as the sister in her imagination.
"Jung Yeon greets Rock Queen." Princess Jung Yeon stepped forward and bowed.
Yan Chao 'er did not dare to accept the bow. Instead, she bowed to Jung Yeon.
There were many kings in this world, such as the King of Rock Island, the King of Black Mountain, and so on.
However, there were only four kings who were acknowledged by the Divine Dragon Sacred Hall and the Yan Empire and were finally conferred titles.
King of Dongli, King of Xiliang, King of Norang Province, King of Beifeng.
Although the Rock Archipelago was invincible on the surface of the sea, it had less than 100,000 citizens, which was even less than a vassal territory of the Raging Wave Kingdom. Therefore, this King was definitely not powerful enough.
Søren came down and bowed to Princess Jung Yeon, "Your Highness."
Princess Jung Yeon nodded and said, "More than a hundred thousand soldiers from the four factions have already gathered in Luanyang City. Zhi Li is already personally overseeing this extermination war. The war is about to begin."
Søren brought them to a small meeting room in the castle.
There was already a huge sand table inside. Half of it was land, half of it was the ocean, and there were also various islands.
The entire sand table was dozens of square meters in size.
Princess Jung Yeon's eyes lit up when she saw the sand table. This was much more intuitive than a three-dimensional map. It was perfect for commanding and deducing battles.
"If there are no accidents, the Extermination Navy will head south at night and start the extermination war."
"The enemy has a total of four forces. They are Luanyang City's fleet, Waterfront City's fleet, Yingzhou Island's fleet, and the Turing Family's ground troops. The navy has sixty to seventy thousand soldiers, seven hundred warships, three hundred ships, and about sixty thousand soldiers on the ground. That's a total of one hundred and thirty thousand soldiers! "
"We only have seven thousand Rock Pirates on Queen Island's fleet, but we have to defend two places. One is Sky Water City, and the other is Stony Island's salt fields. This is obviously unrealistic. Therefore, I have decided to evacuate everyone from the Stony Island's salt fields and return to Sky Water City. "
Many people were shocked when they heard this.
Suo Mu was stunned, "Master, the Stony Island's salt fields are our only source of income. It generates an astronomical amount of income every day. Are we going to give it away just like that?"
Søren said, "If we lose this battle, we won't be able to keep the Stony Island's salt fields. If we win this battle, we won't lose the Stony Island's salt fields either. "
Suo Feiyang said, "Then should we destroy the salt fields to prevent them from falling into the enemy's hands?"
Søren said, "No need. We have to ensure that the Stony Island's salt fields are undamaged. Because the Stony Island's salt fields are a huge piece of meat, there will definitely be more than one party sharing it. Therefore, before the battle ends, the enemy will not occupy it. In this battle, Zhi Li's biggest goal, or even his only goal, is my life and Queen Island's fleet! "
...
Luanyang City Lord's residence.
The four forces, including Prince Zhi Li, were making the final battle arrangements in a magnificent and huge conference room.
"We only have one goal in this battle, and that is to completely destroy Søren's Queen Island's fleet and kill Søren."
"There is no longer any suspense in the victory of this battle, but we must not let one thing happen. That is, Søren and the Suo Clan will use the speed advantage of Queen Island's fleet to escape and flee overseas. "
"Therefore, the only goal in this battle is to completely destroy Søren's fleet. Everything must serve this goal. "
"After completely destroying Søren's Queen Island's fleet, a hundred thousand troops will land at Tianshui City and destroy the Suo Clan!" Zhi Li said, "Count Tulliwen, Count Gui Xingfu, you are more familiar with Tianshui City's waters, where do you think the best place to land is?"
Luanyang City Lord Tulliwen came in front of the map and pointed to a bay, "Here, this is a bay that is dozens of miles long. There is almost no ground defense, and the terrain is flat. It is practically the only place suitable for a large army to land. "
Indeed, although Tianshui City's territory was coastal, the coastline was not long, and the port conditions were not good, so it did not develop into a huge marine power like Luanyang City.
Gui Xingfu said, "Tianshui City's Suo Clan does not value sea power, so this bay does not have a name, Your Highness Zhi Li, please name it."
Zhi Li said, "We are playing the role of pirates, we are going to land from here, and play the music of destruction of the Suo Clan, and even greater figures. Let's name it Devil's Bay."
"Devil's Bay, good name, let us be the devils of hell for a while!" Everyone laughed.
Zhi Li said loudly, "In this battle, we will use ten to one strength to destroy the Suo Clan. No matter what tactics we use, we will win. Therefore, I will emphasize again, the only goal in this battle is to completely destroy Søren's fleet and kill Søren. Everything else has to be put aside. "
"Understood!"
Zhi Li looked at the setting sun in the west.
"Night is about to fall, all of you set off!"
Because they were playing the role of pirates, they more or less concealed themselves, and only set off after nightfall.
Thus, everyone escorted Zhi Li to the dock.
Zhi Li poured a cup of wine, but did not drink it. He placed it on the shore and said, "I will leave this cup of wine here, waiting for your triumphant return, then use Søren's head to accompany the wine."
Luanyang City Lord Tu Liwen, Waterfront City Lord Gui Xingfu, and the others sighed, "We are willing to make a military pledge, within five days, we will cut off Søren's head and destroy the Suo Clan's fleet!"
Zhi Li smiled, "Duke Turing and I will wait here for your good news."
"Understood!"
Tu Liwen, Gui Xingfu, Hai Wuyan, Henar, Ashinzhuo, Tu Ningchen, and the others all boarded their respective ships.
Then, all the ships' flags were raised, all of them were flags with skull scimitars, this flag represented the pirate forces.
This was really a big joke, to be able to have thousands of ships, hundreds of thousands of troops, this world did not exist.
The so-called emperor's new clothes, the so-called deceiving one's ears while stealing a bell, it was nothing more than this.
The sound of a conch was heard.
Thousands of ships, hundreds of thousands of troops, covered the sky, along the East Sea, and rushed towards Tianshui City.
… …
On the dock of Tianshui City.
One hundred Queen Island's fleet had been assembled.
That's right, only one hundred ships.
Søren had all kinds of warships in his hands, including the captives, about one hundred and sixty ships.
But now, only one hundred ships were dispatched, and they had to face the enemy's thousands of ships.
"Your Highness, Nair, the defense of Tianshui City will be left to the two of you." Søren said.
Princess Jung Yeon said, "I will do my best."
Nair didn't say anything, just looked at Søren.
"Little Xue, follow sister home. Once the battle is over, mother and I will go home to find you." Søren said to Princess Yan Xue'er.
"Yes." Yan Xue'er looked at Søren with her big eyes, and nodded vigorously.
Søren and Yan Chao'er turned around, and boarded the flagship of Queen Island's fleet.
A horn sounded.
Queen Island's fleet slowly set sail, and headed north.
On the dock, Princess Jung Yeon bowed, and didn't get up for a long time.
Because she knew, although this battle was for the survival of the Suo clan, it was also for her throne, for the Suo clan's kingdom.
… …
On the vast sea!
Thousands of ships, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Suo clan, majestically headed south.
Hundreds of ships, seven thousand Rock Pirates, the Suo clan navy, sharply headed north.
The two fleets, on the same route, were actually going to fight head-on.
From the moment they set off, the distance between the two sides was two thousand five hundred miles.
At this speed, after two days and one night, the two fleets would collide head-on.
At this time, where Søren's fleet passed, not a single ship could be seen, not even a single pirate appeared.
Because almost all the forces on the surface, all the sea merchants, and all the pirates knew that there would be an unprecedented sea battle in this area.
Of course, it would also be a battle with an unprecedented disparity in power between the two sides.
At Pirate Harbor, bets on this battle had been open for a few days.
However, no matter how high the odds were, no one was willing to bet on the Suo clan's victory. Therefore, this bet had never really started.
However, yesterday, a mysterious guest suddenly appeared.
He took out a hundred thousand gold notes, and bet on the Suo clan's fleet to win. Of course, the bet was naturally sent by Søren.
Suddenly, countless hungry wolves flocked to bet on the victory of the Suo clan's army.
This was a bet, and there was no need to win. If Søren lost, then the hundred thousand gold notes would be shared with the other side of the bet.
If Søren won, then all the bets on the Suo clan's army would be swallowed by him.
So, how many gold coins were there for the Suo clan's victory?
It was a full two hundred and sixty thousand gold coins. Pirate Harbor was indeed the richest place in the world, and there was a sea of gold coins flowing everywhere.
Of course, in addition to these bets on the victory of Søren, there were more bets on the defeat of Søren in a few days.
Almost everyone bet on the annihilation of Søren's fleet within three days.
…
Time passed by minute by minute.
The sky darkened, then brightened, then darkened again!
At this time, if there was a pair of eyes in the sky, they could clearly see that the two fleets were less than two hundred miles apart.
The Suo clan's fleet in the north was like a huge monster.
And the Suo clan's fleet in the south looked so weak and small.
It was a real ten to one power!
At this time, the sun once again rose from the east. Søren got up from his bed, washed up, and went to his room.
At this time, Yan Chao'er (Queen) was already standing in the wind.
The wind blew, causing her silver robe to wrap around her voluptuous body, revealing her seductive curves.
"They are in front, I can feel it!" Yan Chao'er said.
Not only Yan Chao'er, but all the Rock Pirates felt it.
They had already stopped screaming and were quietly sitting on the deck, either cleaning their scimitars, sharpening their arrows, or sitting motionlessly.
The entire fleet was dead silent.
Of course, this silence was not because of fear, but because of excitement.
Every Rock Bandit's eyes shone with a blood-red light, filled with the desire to kill.
Some even started to use their daggers to cut their chests, and then licked their own blood.
The craziness of this group of people was completely unreasonable.
"Whoosh …"
The sun rose.
A gust of wind blew.
The mist on the surface of the sea faded.
In an instant, Søren's eyes widened. Because tens of thousands of meters in front of him, a huge fleet, like a demon from hell, gradually revealed its huge figure under the sun.
Thousands of ships lined up on the sea, it was so spectacular, so shocking.
Søren took a deep breath.
All the Rock Pirates stood up, their eyes filled with bloodthirst.
Søren raised his hand.
Immediately, the Suo clan's warriors lifted the tarp covering the huge thing on the deck.
This was his first secret weapon.
A new type of catapult, one or two catapults on each ship.
This world also had catapults thousands of years ago. But the more primitive ones were man-powered or elastic catapults, their lethality and throwing distance were very low.
But what Søren made was the most advanced lever hammer catapult on Earth's cold weapon battlefield, its lethality was several times higher.
As for catapults, Søren started making them after taking over Tianshui City, originally intended to be used for defending the city.
But in the end, the war on the sea came.
He originally wanted to use the catapult to throw fireballs and win the war on the sea.
In the end, when they actually experimented with it, they discovered that the throwing distance and accuracy were completely lacking. It was possible to rely on this kind of catapult to catch the enemy off guard and suffer heavy losses, but it was impossible to rely on this thing to completely annihilate an enemy that was ten times their size.
Now, he would use this new catapult and fireball to start the first battle, to catch the enemy off guard!
To give the enemy a huge surprise!
