In the morning, everyone had put out the bonfire, lined up spontaneously, and waited quietly.
Qin Feng stood aside and counted the time, anticipating when the armies from Qunyuzhou Island and Fengbei City would meet.
"It's almost... let's go..."
At Qin Feng's greeting, they all mounted their horses and galloped towards the avenue.
While running at high speed, a light mirror suddenly appeared in front of Qin Feng, and the spy Zhang Ming appeared.
"Captain, we got bad news. Fengbei City surrendered, and now they are declaring war on us under the orders of Qunyuzhou Island..."
Qin Feng's face suddenly turned grim. He thought about many situations, but the only one he didn't expect was that Fengbei City actually surrendered.
This puts the Ming Dynasty army at a disadvantage. The two state army armies combined have 20,000 troops. If they attack together, the Ming Dynasty soldiers will also suffer heavy losses.
"Where are the middle troops from Qunyuzhou Island? Are they coming with them?" Qin Feng reached out to stop the cavalry behind him from continuing to advance.
"They went to Fengbei City, and they might want to leave via ship at the port..." Zhang Ming replied.
"Leave?" Qin Feng's tone was slightly confused. Qunyuzhou Island had already taken advantage. As long as he acted together with Fengbei City's army, it was possible to capture the entire Shellzhou Island. Why should he leave at this time? This was not to give away all the fruits of victory.
Has it been handed over to the Ming Dynasty Army?
"They probably have other purposes. If you investigate more carefully..." Qin Feng quickly realized something was wrong.
"Yes, Governor."
After Zhang Ming finished speaking, the light mirror disappeared.
"Captain, what should we do now?" Hua Rong frowned after hearing the news of Fengbei City's surrender.
"We bypass the army in Fengbei City and continue to pursue the army in Qunyuzhou Island. Let Chang Yuchun deal with the army in Fengbei City." Qin Feng greeted the cavalry troops and continued to advance, but got off the road and came from another direction.
Advance through the forest on one side.
"Captain, can't we join forces with Lao Chang to deal with Fengbei City's army? With our combat power, we should be able to easily deal with them." Hua Rong was a little puzzled.
Looking at Hua Rong who was following him, Qin Feng smiled slightly and said: "The people on Qunyu Island think so too, and we just want to take things by surprise. Furthermore, they are likely to transport valuable materials back to Qunyu
Zhoudao, as for them going back, I don’t believe it, our goal is to intercept that batch of supplies.”
"Oh, Commander Gao Ming..." Hua Rong gave a thumbs up in conviction.
"Let's go, you flatterer..." Qin Feng laughed.
More than 2,000 cavalrymen entered the forest beside the road and were completely hidden. At least the Fengbei City army did not notice their presence.
Several different armies began to fight with different goals. As for whether their choices were right or wrong, they will only know when the results are in front of them.
In the free waters of the Republic of Tas, twelve patched warships braved the wind and waves on the sea with unusual strength.
These warships are currently the largest Sanzhi warships on the sea. Although their bodies are covered with scars, these twelve heavyweight warships can still destroy a small country.
On every warship, you can see the figures of wounded soldiers. They are either lying on the deck or lying in the bottom. And every moment, some people die of serious injuries, and are finally wrapped up solemnly by the sailors on the ship.
Throw the sail into the sea.
The sailors who were still alive had dull eyes. They had lost hope for the future. For them, being thrown into the sea now was the greatest happiness.
Shell State Island has been landed by the army of Qunyu State Island. Everyone knows what kind of "Beast Legion" exists in Qunyu State Island. On land, only the elite cavalry regiment of Volcano State Island can compete with them.
.
Their fleet fought a battle with the combined fleet of Sanzhou Island. Although they tried hard to reverse the defeat, they were still beaten miserably in the end. Next, they knew without thinking about it that the armies from all the islands began to advance.
The elite cavalry regiments of Shell State Island, Volcano State Island, and the combat divisions of Coral State Island will turn the entire Shell State Island upside down.
On a Sanzhi battleship that was also patched everywhere, the commander of this remnant army, Admiral Wood, was sitting in the captain's bedroom, with a nautical chart on the table in front of him.
"Betty, how far have we left each other behind..." Admiral Wood's hoarse voice sounded, with exhaustion in his voice.
Betty, who was sitting next to him, was also pale and seemed to be about to fall down in the next second, but she still managed to look at the map and said, "At least they won't be able to catch up within a day..."
"Well, in the free sea, is there any place to stay? We need to repair it, our sailors can't hold it anymore..." Admiral Wood looked through the crack of the closed door, and there was another sailor.
They were wrapped in scrap sails and thrown into the sea. If this continues, the sails on the ship will be completely consumed.
"Here..." Betty's jade finger pointed to the corner of the chart, "This is the Tassie Islands. They have not been conquered by the army of Sanzhou Island after their independence. It is relatively safe for us to go there for repairs."
"Well, let's go there." Admiral Wood took a quick look and decided.
Then he held Betty's shoulders, let her lie on the bed safely, and said gently: "You have suffered with me, take a good rest."
"Well." Looking at Admiral Wood's messy hair and stubble, Betty's eyes showed distress, "You should also take a good rest, you haven't rested for several days."
Admiral Wood just smiled slightly and shook his head. He covered her body with a silk sheet and said softly: "I'm not tired yet. You can go to sleep first. You can help me after you sleep..."
"Yes." Betty nodded imperceptibly, closed her eyes gently, and fell asleep the next second.
Admiral Wood quietly walked out of the door and came to the crowded deck. He saw many sailors looking at him with numb expressions in their eyes.
At this time, his eyes were full of confusion... What should I do in the future? What else do I have? Where should these brothers go?...
…I can’t go back to Shell Island anymore. Is it true that I can only become a pirate?…
It began to rain heavily in the sky, falling on the deck. In the past, every large ship would have raised a blue translucent magic cover to block the heavy rain. But now, it just lets the heavy rain fall on the deck.
Wet the sailors' clothes, wounds, and their numb hearts.
It wasn't that they were unwilling to raise the magic shield, but that everyone was exhausted. After two days of battle with the Sanzhou Island fleet, they were chased by them for several days and nights, and finally got rid of them with great difficulty.
As the most elite fleet in the Tas Republic, their sailing speed is always the fastest.
One day later, Admiral Wood and the others saw the prosperous Tassie Islands.
Countless merchant ships came in and out of the Tassie Islands, each laden with goods and leaving slowly. Although wars are ongoing, broken armies and pirates are everywhere, they still cannot stop the enthusiasm of these merchants.
Admiral Wood and Betty stood on the bow of the ship and looked at each other. They saw incredible things in each other's eyes.
This is seriously inconsistent with the information...
As a small country in the free sea, they are often harassed by pirates. Even their own agriculture cannot develop stably, let alone commerce. There is nothing that can be traded on their island.
Except when the Ice and Snow Island is open, it is already spring and the Ice and Snow Island has long been closed.
"Perhaps, we can form an alliance with them and counterattack Shell State Island..." Betty carefully made a suggestion.
"Well..." Admiral Wood lowered his head in thought, and after a while he said: "Let's take a look first..."
The arrival of twelve three-armed warships put a lot of pressure on the Taxi Islands, so a fleet consisting of 30 two-armed warships and 70 single-armed warships stopped them. At this time, the Taxi Islands
With the support of the new Taxi King Michael, the archipelago fleet was not only equipped with a large number of magic crystal cannons, but also trained them extensively.
After Admiral Wood explained his purpose, he was still prevented from entering. After more than an hour of asking for instructions, the Tassie Islands allowed Admiral Wood and others to enter the port and allowed them to repair for three days.
Betty looked nervously at Admiral Wood's face. This was the first time he had been rejected by others and had to wait for more than an hour. When had he ever suffered such humiliation before? She was worried that he would not be able to bear it and would start a war.
"I'm fine, and I won't do anything stupid..." Admiral Wood saw through her thoughts, and then smiled bitterly. He understood that now he no longer has the capital to be arrogant...
Admiral Wood and others were taken to Port No. 1 of Haisha Island. The crowds here were completely beyond their imagination. The same question appeared in their minds, how did the originally barren place become so prosperous?…
It wasn't until they found a large amount of fine salt, tea leaves, ceramics, etc. when they were looking for a pharmacy that they immediately realized why the business here had suddenly developed.
"The Tenglong Kingdom actually opened all their trading places here..." Betty looked at the sign of the store in front of her - Tenglong Store in disbelief.
Admiral Wood narrowed his eyes. The alliance contract clearly stated that all products of the Tenglong Kingdom must be sold through the platform of Shell State Island. However, they actually opened a store here privately. This obviously did not take them seriously.
inside.
"Wood..."
Betty looked at him worriedly. With Wood's past temper, he would immediately smash up the store and kill all the people inside if he felt like being teased.
But now this is the territory of the Tassi Islanders, and the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce is obviously their sponsor. If Wood and others make trouble here, they will be enemies of the Tassi Islanders.
They cannot afford the consequences...
Admiral Wood closed his eyes hard, and then stopped his men when they were about to rush in, "Let's go..."
There was suppressed anger and a hint of sadness in the voice. In the past, they didn't even care about the Tenglong Kingdom, but now they actually have to worry about the attitude of the Taxi Islanders who rely on the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce.
The changes in the world have made Admiral Wood feel a little unreal...
Walking on the busy streets, watching the merchants coming and going into the Tenglong store, Admiral Wood's eyes became more and more desolate.
