However, this place can still be regarded as a narrow terrain. The huge fleet shrank into the narrow seaway, which inevitably caused some chaos. Although Halfdan's fleet was well-trained and its forward momentum was not hindered much, but in this narrow place
In the sea area, it is very difficult to turn and turn around.
This situation made Halfdan keep a cautious eye. When passing through the delta, he divided a quarter of the fleet and sailed towards another sea route. In this way, even if there were troops ambushing there, they could not threaten the flanks of the main fleet.
.
After making this arrangement, Halfdan let the fleet continue to catch up with confidence. Not long after, Halfdan's main team had passed halfway through the three-way intersection.
Just at this moment, there was a sudden explosion from the delta!
Before everyone could recover from the shock caused by the loud noise, a piece of news spread like crazy to every soldier's ears - an enemy force suddenly jumped out from behind and was attacking the rear of the fleet.
!
At the same time, the enemy fleet that had been ahead suddenly turned around and came back. In the blink of an eye, Halfdan's fleet was blocked in the narrow sea area.
——There was no report from the fleet sailing to another sea route. This means that there are no enemies there. Halfdan's fleet can leave from that sea route at any time and get rid of the situation of being attacked from both front and rear.
"It's actually a double team? What is the enemy commander thinking?"
Even in this situation, Halfdan did not panic at all. He sat on the boat and thought calmly:
"Why not choose the first two places? You have obviously put all your efforts into setting up an ambush, but choosing a place where the enemy can easily escape... is simply stupid."
What's more, judging from Sealand's possible military strength, there is absolutely no need for him to evacuate.
"Don't worry about the enemies in the rear. The entire army will break through from the front with all your strength!"
Halfdan issued such an order.
Unexpectedly, blazing fire burst out from the bow of Zealand's ship. All approaching ships were ignited in flames. The soldiers fell into the water wailing. In the blink of an eye, the front and rear of the fleet had become
A sea of fire.
In the narrow terrain, Halfdan's troops were unable to exert their advantage. The Sealand fleet, equipped with the Fire of the Sea, appeared unstoppable. The familiar snake head carving on the bow of the ship suddenly looked so strange in the enemy's hands.
Terrifying and terrifying.
He heard a soldier shouting in fear: "Loki...it's Loki, the god of fire!"
"Where does that God of Fire Loki come from? I've heard that it's a weapon from the Seven Hills Empire, called 'Ocean Fire'!"
Halfdan shouted with all his strength.
"Our numbers are far superior! The entire army attacks forward and breaks through the enemy's frontline troops!"
No one listened to his orders. Starting from the center, the fleet began to flee to another sea route without enemies.
"No evacuation! Break through from the front! We will win after breaking through!"
Halfdan roared at the top of his lungs, but amidst the sea of fire and wailing, his voice seemed so weak.
Halfdan suddenly realized the enemy commander's intention: she had deliberately left the escape route.
Moreover, it is left very conspicuous so that people can see it at a glance.
——Since there is a way to escape, how many people are willing to die generously?
The fleeing fleet lost order and was soon blocked in another sea route. Sealand's ships continued to spray fire and pursued the defeated army at an unhurried speed.
Not in a hurry - they are not seeking to quickly expand their results, nor are they just letting Halfdan's fleet go. They are using actions to tell Halfdan's fleet: We are pursuing. But run faster, and you will be fine.
Can run away.
Halfdan's soldiers beat each other to gain the right to escape by that sea route.
Halfdan soon felt the burning sensation brought by the flames - the enemy ship spitting fire had already arrived near him.
Halfdan is protected by Baldr, the god of light. Unlike Sigurd's slowly spreading black mist, Halfdan's light can deprive a wide range of enemies of their vision in an instant. Whether it is a personal duel or a legionary battle
, this moment of intense flash can bring him a decisive advantage.
However, even if he uses magic now, Sealand's army only needs to close their eyes and continue to spray fire forward. The flames that have been ignited will not be extinguished by the light, and the troops that have been scattered will not be gathered by the light.
The protection of Baldr, the God of Light, also made him immune to any magic damage - but Ella did not use any magic.
In this case, the magic that Halfdan was so proud of could not play any role.
This way of fighting is simply like...
Somehow, he thought of that ancient myth - about the end of the gods.
Like his soldiers he cried out in terror:
"She's not the Valkyrie... she's Loki! She's Loki, the god of fire and trickery! The evil god Loki is back!"
His white shirt caught fire. He took off the clothes in embarrassment and jumped into the water.
"Valkyrie? Loki? What are they shouting about?"
Ella walked onto Halfdan's boat confused. She noticed Halfdan's white shirt and picked it up. She also noticed the book Halfdan had left aside and subconsciously read out
The text on the cover reads: ""The Afternoon Secrets of Tabatha and the White Knight"? Hebrew? Can any of these pirates really understand such a book?"
"Sister Shieldmaiden, I don't understand why we didn't choose to be near West Fore instead of here? You see, many enemies ran away."
Gan asked from the side.
"First of all, Lily told me that Halfdan is protected by the God of Light. Just hearing this name, whether the black mist in Siful can help us hide is a big question. Secondly, running away... is not very
Okay? If we don’t give them a chance to escape, they will turn to break through our lines with all their strength."
If you see a fire burning, you will want to run away; if you are forced into a desperate situation, you will fight back at all costs - this is the same for humans and dogs.
The difference in strength between Ella and Halfdan is really too big. And the Ocean Fire in her hand is an inferior version with reduced power. She really can't expect to go head-to-head with Halfdan like this.
Therefore, the opponent must be left with room to retreat.
When returning to the army, do not contain it, when surrounding the army, do not stop it, and when the enemy is exhausted, do not press it - the art of war.
"But if they run away like this, they will soon reorganize to counterattack, right?"
"No, if my judgment is correct, they no longer have such a chance."
…
…
Halfdan climbed into a boat and fled from the battlefield in a panic. There were many people who escaped with him, but they were all scattered and had little morale.
But for some reason, Halfdan laughed three times at the sky. This caused the soldiers on the same ship to ask: "Boss... what are you laughing at in this situation..."
"I laugh at Ella's lack of plans and Scipio's wisdom. If it were me, I would never let the enemy escape easily! Although I lost a battle today, my strength is not lost. When I regroup the troops, she
What can you do to me?"
Before his laughter subsided, a medium-sized fleet suddenly sailed towards them in front of them. Standing on the bow in the middle was a heroic young man, wearing a crown and a red cloak.
, wearing a set of exquisite armor and hanging a gorgeous sword.
Halfdan recognized who it was at a glance - the ruler of England, "King of Knights" Alfred.
"Halfdan, where is your white shirt?" Alfred asked from a distance.
