The sound of thunder rolling sounds came from the distant sea surface, and from time to time, fierce flames burst out, and violent explosions. In the thick smoke, although the frigate was not seen fighting, you could also feel that the situation was not good. In front of the bow of the ship was a vague line, which looked like a line protruding out of thin air on the sea surface. The Aden Navy Transport Fleet entered the inland sea area and advanced forward at the previous speed. At the bow of a transport ship, the young general who was talking to Dansobyago frowned and silent at this moment. So when the young general turned around and suddenly asked to see the person in charge of the transport fleet, everyone was shocked.

"How is the situation with the Eighth Squadron?" asked the young general.

"The current situation is unknown, but the Eighth Squadron should be at an absolute disadvantage."

The person in charge of the transport fleet with a solemn face was a middle-aged man in his thirties. His years of life at sea, the cold sea breeze and wave-beating career made his body look agile, and his skin looked like a layer of black oil. The Aden people are among the rare brown people, and there are many dark skins, but it can only be found in the navy.

"Is there any possibility of breaking through the Eighth Squadron running away?" The young general took a deep breath, clasping his fingers on the side of the ship.

"Hopefully," the head of the transport fleet hesitated for a moment. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Eighth Squadron could escape, but the Eighth Squadron chose to stay to block the Imperial Navy's pounce. If one word is used to describe the situation of the Eighth Squadron, it would be a little bit of danger. The officers of the 12th Army on the deck sensed tension. The air on the bridge seemed to condense, and the smoke of gunfire was everywhere on the sea in the distance, and the sound of cannons rumbling. From 11:00 noon to 1:00 pm, the fierce battle had been going on for more than an hour, and the battle had not ended, and it seemed that it was getting more and more intense.

"I personally think that the Imperial Navy does not seem to be an encounter. Our route may have been betrayed to the Imperial Navy. The other party is more like a pack of wolves waiting for prey here, rather than a wild horse that unexpectedly encounters..." The head of the transport fleet looked angry and stopped talking.

"You mean we were betrayed?" The young general's face changed.

"No, sir, just pretend that you have never heard of anything. It is already very close to the coastline. At most one hour, I can deliver you to a safe area." The person in charge of the Transport Fleet took a deep breath, shook his head, and said with a wry smile. "The route of the Transport Fleet returned was ordered by the Admiralty. Those who know must be the senior management of the Admiralty. Questioning the transportation route was betrayed, it is no different from directly saying that there are internal ghosts in our Admiralty. This is a big deal. The demise of a main battle fleet also involves an army of more than 20,000 people. This will definitely be a major event that shocks the entire Aden country. It will inevitably cause self-inspection by the entire Admiralty, and there will even be a result of the head falling. And if it is suspected, my transport fleet leader is also among the suspects."

"Because I also know the transportation route. As a senior middle-level Aden Navy officer, I know very well that once this investigation is launched, it will inevitably lead to a result. However, it is hard to say whether the result is the truth. More likely, it is a scapegoat thrown out casually after the interests of the upper class adults exchanged, and I obviously fit the setting of this scapegoat."

"Are you worried that you will become a victim? Are you worried too much? I believe the Kingdom Military Affairs Department will not be so confused." The young general looked at the sea surface dyed red by the fire in the distance, and put his hands behind his back, allowing the cold sea breeze to blow on his face.

"Do you still remember a few months ago, the strongest battle force of the Aden Red Dragon Hall was surrounded and strangled by the imperial army in southern Ero? Anyone with discerning eyes can see that the Red Dragon Battle Knights ambushed the Imperial Army in the old capital of Ero. When they evacuated, they were retaliated by the Imperial Army because of the leaked route, and blocked them layer by layer. They suffered heavy losses. When they retreated, they were betrayed and besieged by the princes in southern Ero. In the end, the 30,000 Red Dragon Knights were all destroyed.

The head of the transport fleet paused, swallowed, and continued to say, "A such a major event did not cause any turmoil in Aden. It was the high priest of the Red Dragon Palace that raised questions, and the King's Military Affairs Department started an investigation, but what can that happen? Finally, it concluded that the demise of the Red Dragon War Cavalry was entirely caused by the wrong judgment of the Red Dragon War Cavalry, and had nothing to do with the intelligence department. For such a major event, the King's Military Affairs Department dared to find a reason to make excuses. Moreover, we are just a transport fleet. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the country, we gave the admirals of the Navy's squadrons an explanation and ordered the execution of a so-called betrayal route of the transport fleet."

The young general looked solemn and silent. The destruction of the Red Dragon War Cavalry in Aden was not as calm as the captain saw. In fact, the Kingdom Military Affairs Department not only did not hide the news of the Red Dragon War Cavalry, but also made a lot of publicity. He wanted to tell all the Aden people that the Red Dragon War Cavalry, the most proud Red Dragon War Cavalry in the southern part of Erot, was completely destroyed. In contrast, the Kingdom Army's rapid advance in Central Bia and was invincible.

Everyone can see that the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Kingdom wants to make the Red Dragon Palace ugly. As for investigating the tragic truth, it is even more impossible. A statement even leaked privately that the Red Dragon Battle of the Cavalry was because of the intelligence problem, which seriously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army and was directly defeated by the Imperial Army in the breakout battle. The information of the Aden Red Dragon Battle of the Cavalry came from the Aden Army.

Senior officers of the 12th Aden Army gathered on both sides of the deck, looking at the rumbling sea level of gunfire in the distance with their naked eyes, and also closely paying close attention to the sea around the trooping ship. Although the sea surface is as calm as a mirror, the sea water is flowing after all, and some sporadic objects drifting from the battlefield seem to clearly illustrate some problems.

In the sea, the incomplete corpses of the Aden Navy sailors drifted over, the naval uniforms of the Aden Navy sailors are easy to identify, as well as the unique upturned deck fragments of the Aden Navy warship, the broken masts that have not yet sunk, and the black wooden barrels on the warships... All of this shows that the frigate has suffered a severe blow. On the vast sea, everyone feels that they are very uneasy. Although they are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, they are still the army after all. In this vast ocean, the army has no use of weapons. Once they are attacked by the enemy fleet, they become slaughtered lambs without any power, and will eventually become sharks' fill.

"This is the sea area of ​​my Aden. Since the Navy believes that it can stop the other side, then we should trust the Navy."

The situation is severe and the 12th Army is also in panic. Bonarsa personally ordered that the combat effectiveness of the navy is still obvious to all in the Central Bible battlefield. Although the record reported must have a certain amount of moisture, there is no need to question the combat effectiveness. For an army general, Bonarsa naturally cannot give any disrespectful views on the navy, especially the excellent squadron of the Eighth Squadron, which has been experienced for a long time. However, he has subconsciously felt that the Eighth Squadron was in danger of this time.

The Aden Expedition, the Army and the Aden Navy cooperated many times, and Bonarsa also dabbled in some naval knowledge and was not ignorant of naval operations. It was a blessing in disgrace to arrive at the coastline in an hour. Boonarsa looked complicated and took back his eyes from a distance. The sacrifice of the Eighth Squadron could not be worthless, but the transportation route might be betrayed. If he was exposed, he would not even predict the consequences.

He is an army general and was also the commander of the Legion who was appointed by the Aden Ministry of Military Affairs to withdraw from the Gulf of Aden to stabilize the situation. He knew much more about the domestic situation than other officers.

There is a declining atmosphere in Aden now. On the one hand, the national turmoil brought about by the upcoming of the Kingdom of Aden to the Empire, and on the other hand, the panic caused by the military retreat. Now, the Aden is confused. It is not that the Kingdom of Aden is about to join the ranks of the empire, why is the front line rushing? In this case, the promotion of the Kingdom of Aden has some funny elements. One says that he is the most powerful country under the sky, but is rubbed on the ground every day. The impact on the hearts of the people in China can be imagined.

Since the empire suddenly entered Aden from both north and south, although Aden clearly possessed absolute military advantage and geographical advantage, the situation of the war has been retreating again and again. In the south, 20,000 imperial troops swept like hurricanes, and the local garrison troops of Aden were dispersed countless times. In the end, more than 100,000 troops were used to block it in Perthad. In the northern desert, it was the sphere of influence of the Aden Desert Legion. After decades of hard work, it was a desert area that was extremely unfavorable to the battle of the large army. It has always been regarded as an insurmountable barrier in Aden. However, a year ago, it was almost penetrated by the Eros army. A year later, the Imperial Army broke through again with a miraculous assault.

The natural barrier in the past has now become a soft fence that anyone can kick over. Aden has also had great opinions on the weak combat effectiveness of the Aden military. Especially in the army, many Aden nobles have been scolded as false manufacturers, claiming to the outside world how invincible it is in Central Bible and it is invincible. Once it returns to the battlefield in the Gulf of Aden, it becomes a weak chicken that can be pushed down. Now if the incident of the senior management of the Navy's Ministry of Navy betrays the transportation route, the entire Aden king is probably going to explode.

The sea is quietly pushing into the corners of the coastline. The hull is undulating with the waves. In the shadow of the bay, more than a dozen imperial naval dragon-tooth warships with sharp bows are up and down with the waves.

Zamuks, commander of the 14th Squadron of the Imperial Navy, raised his telescope and looked at the six o'clock position. He could vaguely see the densely packed ships, the distance was no more than five nautical miles. If under normal circumstances, these transport ships fleeing in various places would be a problem. The main force of the Imperial Navy could not be delayed here for a long time. If one hit was not a hit, he would inevitably evacuate quickly. To be on the safe side, the Imperial Navy Minister Dustramka only pressed on part of the main force of the fleet, and the remaining Imperial Navy warships were responsible for the surrounding vigilance. The 14th Squadron of the total number of six Dragon-fang warships bypassed the ambush battlefield in advance from the position of the main force of the navy, and entered this coastline.

"It is the transport fleet of the Adens"

Zamuks looked very strong and full of eagerness to try. There were too many fleets sent to lurk, which were easily discovered by the Aden Transport Fleet. Moreover, the bay in front of him was not large, and could only accommodate more than a dozen Dragon-fang warships. This was the coastline position closest to the combat waters. When the Aden Navy discovered that it had encountered the main force of the Imperial Navy, the transport fleet was the greatest possibility to drive towards the coastline. Judging from the Aden Transport Fleet's still in line, the Aden people did not know that there was an Imperial Navy squadron waiting for them in this calm Xia Bay.

"Rise all the sails, all the auxiliary paddles are protruding out, and the entire fleet is raiding."

Zamux ordered decisively, and the flag-speaking soldiers sent out a signal. Sixteen dragon-toothed warships formed a diamond-shaped formation first rushed out of the bay like hungry wolves. The fleet was like a giant axe that split the sea and drove quickly towards the Aden transport fleet. The sails on the mast expanded to the extreme. There were sixteen long paddles on the side of the hull each flew into the sea, splashing everywhere, like a shark full of scales.

Five hundred meters

The flip-mouth baffle on the side of the Dragon Tooth Battleship was opened in sequence, and the black Thor muzzle was pushed out by the Imperial sailors. The heavy gun body was hung into the cannon mount, and the metal hook made a clear sound.

"Attached 350 meters, aim and shoot!" Zamux stood on the command bridge and issued a low order.

"Three Hundred Meters"

The four Dragon-tooth warships in front of them, as the assault tip, began to launch shelling, and the fierce Thunderbolt bombs roared at the panicked Aden transport ship

"Boom"

The sea water was stirred up, and the rising water column seemed to cover the transport ship. One of the large transport ships was hit directly at the stern. The flames exploded, and the rear warehouse of the stern of the transport ship was shattered. A large amount of sea water poured into the stern. Everything on the deck of the transport ship that had lost balance was involuntarily slipped to the stern. Countless things left huge vortexes on the sea surface. The main mast broke with the sound of Titicacticacia, and the deck that was smashed when it fell down became two pieces.

Suddenly, a huge ball of fire exploded in front of Bonarsa's eyes, followed by a violent flame rising from the sky, and the sound of the explosion almost knocked him out. Under his intently gaze, the air waves that were bursting from his transport ship almost overturned him. Fortunately, he hurriedly grabbed the railing next to him and did not fall down, but the unprepared adjutant fell down hard.

"What's the situation?"

Bornarsa was covered in blood, and the broken wood pieces pierced deeply into his abdomen. He stubbornly gritted his teeth and stood up on the railing. In his eyes, more than a dozen imperial naval dragon-tooth ships, which were like wolves entering the flock of sheep. While rushing into the transport squadron group, he attacked rapidly with the firepower of the side ship's side.

The second Aden transport ship that was exploded, Thor bomb passed through its ship's side, penetrated deep into the cabin, and then exploded, which ignited the tinder in the cabin. Suddenly, a fierce red air wave caused a violent wave of transport ship next to it to shake violently. The seriously tilted mast fell down with the sails in the flames. The entire hull turned over and turned upside down on the sea surface, and only the bottom of the ship was exposed to the water.
