The more than month-long blockade of the island republic's coastline has been lifted.
When the Island Republic sent the navy stationed in the capital to encircle the fleet of Aulus, the generals of the Mercian Field Army made the immediate decision to cross the sea and launch an attack on the capital of the Island Republic. However, with the defeat of Aulus, the navy of the Island Republic returned from the victory.
The backhand cut off the retreat route of the siege troops, causing the Mercian Field Army to lose many soldiers.
Although the Mercian Field Army of more than 17,500 people still maintains a land blockade on the island republic, in the absence of naval support, it is absolutely impossible for them to cross the straits and break through the island republic's solid walls and blockade the land route.
It is meaningless. The Island Republic is a country that attaches great importance to maritime transportation. As long as the sea and land are smooth, its soldiers can hold on until they die.
The capital city was already celebrating the victory of this war. Contarini, the naval admiral of the island republic, was like a hero returning from victory. After enjoying the applause of the citizens, he went to the Governor's Palace with a red face to report the victory to Patisipaccio.
news.
On the left hand side of Partisipaccio stood Giovanni, and on the right side stood Ippolita. Contarini walked into the door, and as soon as he finished his salute, Partisipaccio asked: "Contari
Ni, tell me how you fought this battle?"
Contarini nodded excitedly: "Thanks to the governor's plan, the war went very smoothly..."
"The Governor doesn't want to hear this." Giovanni interrupted Contarini at the side, "He wants to know, what was the result of your victory?"
"The results of the battle? That's so rich. We sunk 20% of the Qiqiu Empire's ships, and another 30% were captured. The remaining ships were defeated and fled in panic..."
"That means that a full 50% of the enemies have escaped?"
Contarini finally felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He looked at Patisipaccio carefully and found that his face was gloomy and did not look happy at all.
"Contarini, I don't know what you are happy about?" Giovanni said from the side, "Ippolita was the one who made the plan, the citizens of the island republic were the ones who made the aircraft, and the University of Alchemy was the one who made the fire of the ocean.
Teachers and students, I was the one who chose the time for the decisive battle, and it was the soldiers on the aircraft who defeated the Qiqiu Empire fleet, and all you have to do is harvest the defeated enemy troops. In this way, you still let 50% of the enemy escape.
You actually think this is your fault?"
Contarini broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt down in front of Patisipaccio, begging for mercy.
"Originally, after this battle, the Qiqiu Empire will completely lose its ability to counterattack at sea, and its coastline will be completely open to us. But now, we have to take the enemy's navy into consideration in the plan. Because of your incompetence, the entire
All subsequent plans have been disrupted." Patisipaccio looked at Contarini coldly, "General, what on earth did you do to let half of the people escape in such an extremely advantageous encirclement?
Enemies? You'd better give a good reason!"
"Lord Governor, this is not my fault! It's Apollo - yes, it's Apollo! When the enemy was about to be wiped out by us, the sun god Apollo sent a messenger. She gathered all the flames that burned into her own body.
On his body, he rescued the enemy from the desperate situation!"..."Apollo's messenger? Do you mean Apollo's protection?" Ippolita took a step towards Contarini, "What's the name of that messenger?
?”
"I remember it was...Scipio? Yes! The messenger called himself Scipio, and he was a member of the royal family of the Seven Hills Empire!"
Before he finished speaking, Contarini suddenly let out a cry - Ippolita inserted a knife into the back of his left hand without mercy.
In anger, Contarini waved his right hand and tried to slap Ippolita hard. But Ippolita did not dodge and actually grabbed Contarini's finger in the air and used Conta's
The force of Rini's wave forced his fingers towards his wrist - and Contarini suddenly let out another scream.
His hands were severely injured in a short period of time, and the back of his left hand was penetrated directly by a knife and nailed to the ground. If it were an ordinary person, he would have fainted from the pain on the spot.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" Ippolita stared, filled with anger, "Apollo's protection? Scipio? Even if Apollo gave his protection to a beggar, it would definitely be
It’s not Scipio’s turn!”
But Contarini was a general on the battlefield after all. His hands were crippled. He blushed, bit the knife with his teeth and pulled it out from the back of his hand, and then shouted angrily at Ippolita: "
You bitch, I am the admiral of the island republic! You actually... how dare you!"
With a "pop" sound, Patisipachio threw the tea cup in his hand towards Ippolita and cursed: "Ippolita, you soiled my carpet again! Did I let you do it? Even if you get it
Even if you get a little credit, don’t forget your own identity!”
Ippolita touched the blood on her forehead, feeling happy instead of angry. She got down on all fours and crawled to Patisipaccio's feet like a kitten, rubbing her smooth face against Patisipzio.
Qiao's thick black leg hair on his thighs, while smiling flatteringly: "Your Majesty Governor, how dare I overstep my bounds? It's just that I heard that this so-called general wanted to deceive the Governor, and when I got angry, I couldn't help but do it.
Already."
Patisipachio frowned: "Liar? What on earth is going on? Scipio is the royal family of the Seven Hills Empire, and the level of magic in each generation is not weak. Is it any wonder that he is protected by Apollo?
Already?"
"Governor, have you forgotten?" Ippolita said softly while stroking Patisipachio's thigh, "Apollo is not the god of fire. How could he have the power to control fire?"
"Isn't Apollo the sun god?" Giovanni said. "Wouldn't it make sense that the sun god can control fire?"
Ippolita ignored Giovanni and continued to say to Partisipaccio: "You don't know something, Lord Governor. Apollo is the sun god, which is just a misinformation from later generations. The name Apollo means 'the shining one'.
Apollo is the god of light, art, medicine, and sometimes the patron saint of shooters. He is not the sun god, and he has nothing to do with fire."
"Is there such a saying?" Patisipachio pondered for a while, "Ippolita is the most powerful magician in our island republic. Since she said so, it is probably true."
"I...I really didn't lie." Contarini shouted sternly, "Many, many soldiers have heard that the woman who controls the flame calls herself the Messenger of Apollo, and her last name is Scipio!"
"Are the words of the enemy true? Do you really believe that she is the messenger of Apollo?"
Giovanni scolded Contarini, then lowered his head and said to Patisipaccio:
"Since there is a magician who controls flames among the enemies, General Contarini's failure cannot be entirely blamed on him. He returned victorious after all, so it is not appropriate to add guilt at this time."
"Giovanni, if you want to plead for someone else, you must first achieve results yourself." Ippolita said coldly, "Where are the allies you promised the governor? Where are they?"
"Of course it's on the way." Giovanni smiled confidently, "The military march costs a lot of money every day. What the governor should worry about now is how to prepare as much goods as possible and make a good profit."
