Chapter 4 Battle at Sea

"That's the sound of the waves!" Compared to Arslan and Semius who live in the inland and are used to living on horseback, Salius has served the Grand Duke Anastasius for ten years. The most familiar thing in Molia is the waves of the island. Even in foreign lands, he still recognized the first thing in the wind, which was the sound of tides that only a close to the coast.

This means that they have walked out of the heart of the Burgas region and moved into the Black Coast—

At this moment, Justinian, who had always been in a low expression, also stretched his eyebrows, and a large stone pressing down on his heart was finally put down. When Constantinople handed over Uncle Vasily, the map of the empire he gave was indeed very useful. He helped Justinian and his army pass through the Burgas region safely without anyone's guidance and arrived at their original destination, the Bay of North Burgas. It can be said that even Justinian was worried along the way, because he could only rely on a map that he could not guarantee whether it was correct or not. If he was not careful, Justinian and his army would die without a burial place. It has to be said that Justinian did this a big gamble.

"Accelerate the march!"

Amid Justinian's command, the new Molia army and the Vadarita cavalry who had been wandering around, immediately accelerated their pace. They were approaching the coastline, getting closer and closer, and even the air was filled with the smell of wet saltiness.

After rushing through the bushes, the Turkic warriors who were opening the way waved their scimitars and split the plants blocking the road. At this time, what finally appeared in everyone's eyes was a vast and boundless sea. This was the final destination for Justinian and his army to choose to go south.

The Bay of North Burgas was once a very important sailing base for the Empire on the Black Sea trade line. Once upon a time, this was one of the most prosperous places in Bulgaria ruled by the Empire. However, with the protracted war caused by the independence of the Bulgarians, the original town ports here turned into ruins. When Justinian and the others arrived here, only a piece of rocks and rubble were left on the beach. This was the place where Justinian and Antonia Doria agreed to meet.

But when Justinian looked around, he saw that there seemed to be nothing on the desolate coast, and there was no trace of people in the empty space - this was clearly the agreed destination that Antonia passed on to him, but at this moment, there was no one in his figure. For a moment, a look of surprise appeared on Justinian's face, and a deep uneasiness also enveloped his heart.

And just as Justinian was wandering, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"We finally meet, Justinian."

...

...

...

On the other side, amid the treacherous black waves, an unstoppable sea pursuit has begun.

When the Genoa sailors finally saw the Venetian warships approaching at full speed, they realized that it was not a single one that was chasing them, but to be precise, a fleet of not large sizes, but enough to pose a fatal threat to the Genoa.

In the wind and rain, the golden lion battle flag was even more ferocious as it fluttered. The commander of this military operation, Count Ranieri, was determined to win at this moment. Even if Baron Venier, another nobleman who was with him, could not stop him, he would not be able to stop him. At this moment, Ranieri Dandoro chose a team that was easy to attack - two "V" shapes arranged vertically. The first V shape was composed of three medium-sized sailboats led by him, leading by him. The second "V" shape was an old-fashioned transport sailboat and two small armed merchant ships, a total of six rushed towards the isolated Genoa sailors.

This was undoubtedly a simple offensive queue. Looking at this scene, both Antonia, Christopher and other people on the ship understood that they had no way out, and the Venetians on the opposite side wanted to kill them.

While the crowd was wandering and stumbled, the voice of the one-eyed old man Christopher suddenly gave everyone present a blow.

"Don't panic, the enemy is bluffing, hoping that we will be distracted. Toreal, let the port shoot at the Venetians, so that they can know how powerful we are!"

Although he was a famous surgeon in Genoa, Christopher was never vague in his early years. One of his eyes was lost in the battle. Therefore, in the face of dangerous situations, the old man reacted faster than the other young people around him and issued orders.

With a sudden shout, the Genoa sailors who woke up from their dreams came to their senses and realized that if they sat like this, they would die without a burial place. The skilled sailors could see at first glance that the enemy on the opposite side was rushing forward, but the V-shaped formation was mysterious. Once caught up by the other party, they would inevitably become a bone-attached gangrene, so they must not let the other party get close!

Then the sailors quickly debugged the small crossbows on the ship and aimed at the Venetians behind them. They immediately started bombarding and gave no hesitation. Since it was a battle of life and death, they would not consider any consequences when doing anything. The Genoa sailors had only one goal to eliminate the enemy that was invading in front of them.

The crossbow shells lit asphalt immediately cut through the wind and rain in the sky and shot towards the Venetian fleet, and this scene immediately fell into the eyes of the Venetian sailors.

However, looking at this scene, Ranieri Dandoro was still calm. He was nearly forty years old and had already inherited all the character of his father. Even if he was in a dangerous situation, he could still remain calm in the world. Not to mention that he now has six large and small ships in his hands, and there was only one warship on the other side. As long as the handling was done properly, Ranieri was sure that those Genoese could not escape.

All the Venetians on the ship were looking at Ranieri, and they were waiting for Plekhanov's orders.

At this moment, the man's eyes were filled with steel-like will.

"I want to avoid it, and at the same time, those Genoa stupid donkeys opened fire! Let Plufman surround the left and cut off their retreat!"

With Ranieri Dandoro's orders to attack, a small trencher on the Venetian ship aimed at a warship, almost firing while they avoided Genoa's crossbows, the blazing flames drew a graceful and trembling arc in the sky.
