"It must be the fault of Yun Xiaohan from the empire. His plot progress completion rate is 200%. Maybe the Olista leader did not support the Austrian Council in this battle, but supported the Central Empire."
"Khan, no way. Then instead of adding one more army, they will have two armies. It's the same as the Austrian side. If you're not careful, they might win. That would be embarrassing.
!”
"I think this possibility is quite high. There was not a previous battle in which the Empire won the support of the Northern Territory. That time, the Empire's completion rate did not exceed 100%. This time, the Empire's completion rate is 200%.
We can definitely get support from other forces, let alone one more army, two more armies are not impossible!"
"That would be troublesome. Let's just get rid of the NPC and capture the city of Cagliari ourselves."
"Our strength is too weak. It is difficult to successfully attack the city alone. Moreover, if the NPC troops have another accident after dividing the troops, we will be finished. Besides, the NPC will not let us leave. Just raising objections will make our favorability rate crazy."
It’s down.”
"It doesn't work on the left, it doesn't work on the right, how about we just wait here?"
"Now we can only wait. I hope the fleet can come back soon."
"What if the fleet cannot come back?"
"It's impossible. Those who don't have a navy in the imperial camp will definitely be able to come back. It's just a matter of time."
"I hope so!"
——————————————————————————————————————————
The meeting of the Austrian and French Parliament was even more tangled, because the situation they faced was more embarrassing. The fleet hoped to evacuate. The fleet's losses were too great. If the other two fleets of the Merchant Alliance came back, they would have no power to resist, and the same
They will be stuck in the port and cannot even escape.
But the army did not agree with their retreat. As soon as the fleet withdrew, the merchant alliance would definitely attack. Without the cover of naval guns, the Austrian and French Parliament had no chance.
The two sides are in a stalemate. As a player, Overwatch Cloud is naturally on the side of the army. The possible losses to the fleet are not directly related to the players. However, if the fleet retreats and once the merchant alliance attacks, the Austrian side will definitely not be able to win. Then the interests of the players
There is no guarantee.
The fleet proposed to let the Army re-board the ship and look for other opportunities. This proposal was directly rejected. The reason is very simple. Now the Army has finally landed. If the Merchant Alliance fleet really comes back, the Army will never even think about landing. In this situation
I can only be a spectator in the battle, because with the remaining fleet of the Austrian side, it is impossible to capture any port.
This result is obviously unacceptable to both the NPC army and the players.
After discussing for a while, there was still no result. Players put their interests first and were not affected by the hatred of the faction. The characteristics of the players were revealed. Overwatch Cloud suggested that they should send someone to talk to the merchant alliance, and maybe there would be some improvement.
Because there was no better way, Watching the Cloud's suggestion was adopted by the Supreme Commander of the Offician Council - "Viscount Timothy".
It didn't take long for the envoy sent out to be driven back and given a whip. If not for the efforts of the two deputy commanders, the envoy might have been executed directly by the Viscount of Hyderabad.
The business alliance's refusal to negotiate made the Austrian and French parliament very disappointed.
At this time, the attitude of the fleet became more determined. They felt that the fleet had done everything it could, and insisted on moving immediately and not waiting to die in the port.
The army naturally disagreed. They still hoped that something unexpected would happen and that the Merchant Alliance fleet would not be able to come back or would come back very late. In this case, the Merchant Alliance might leave because they couldn't wait any longer and attack the city of Cagliari.
In desperation, Viscount Timothy could only promise to the fleet that if the enemy fleet appeared, he would allow them to surrender, and he would bear the responsibility.
Naturally, what the Offa fleet wanted was not the permission to surrender, but while they were arguing, a fleet suddenly appeared outside the port of Cagliari. The Offa Council thought it was the Merchant Alliance fleet at first, and was startled.
It was later discovered that it was the Sea Lion Fleet led by Sardinia.
This left the Offa Council side a little confused, but the Sea Lion Fleet would not allow them to think too much and immediately ordered them to surrender, otherwise they would launch an attack.
The original ships of the Sea Lion Fleet plus some of the captured ships now numbered more than a hundred battleships. Even if many of the ships were injured, they still had an overwhelming advantage over the remaining ships of the Offensive Council.
At this time, the commander of the Offa fleet suddenly remembered the surrender permission. He told Viscount Timothy that the fleet planned to surrender. The only thing he could do now was to buy some time for the army. He advised Viscount Timothy to make a decision as soon as possible and negotiate with him.
The allies need to make up their mind quickly whether they want to talk or fight, because after the fleet surrenders, the Sea Lion Corps is likely to bombard the Austrian and French Army next.
The Sea Lion Fleet did not give the Offican Council much time. Seeing the Offician Fleet's delay in responding, they immediately began to attack.
The Austrian fleet had no choice but to hoist the white flag. Their surrender meant that 4 fleets were captured by the Sea Lion Legion, a merchant fleet of the Minister of Commerce, a transport fleet of the Austrian Parliament, and 2 fleets with only a very small amount.
The remaining ships of the battle fleet.
The NPCs in Arcane could not figure out the situation, but the players could not. They immediately realized that the Sea Lion Legion in front of them was the support obtained by the Empire's 200% completion rate, but they did not expect that it would be a hidden secret that had not appeared in previous battles.
power.
Unfortunately, it is not the players who can make the decision, but the NPCs.
Fortunately, Viscount Timothy is not stupid. He has sent an envoy again. At the same time, his army has also begun to move forward to get out of the naval gun attack range. However, because the merchant alliance is stuck outside the port, it is difficult to completely leave the Sea Lion Fleet.
range, they must break through the Merchant Alliance's army.
At this time, the Merchant Alliance could only see a fleet coming back from a distance, but the specific situation was too far away to see clearly. This caused many NPC soldiers and players from the Merchant Alliance to mistakenly think that their own fleet was coming back.
.
So when they discovered that the Austrian and French army began to move forward, they immediately launched an attack, and the first to attack were the players from the Merchant Alliance.
The soldiers and players below were confused about the situation, but the top management of the merchant alliance fell into shock and panic.
After the previous envoy met the Viscount of Hyderabad again, he just asked a question: "Excuse me, has the Business Alliance received the support of the Sea Lions?"
Hearing this question, the Viscount of Hyderabad, who originally felt good about the arrival of the fleet, was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically. The Merchant Alliance had never sought the support of the Sea Lion Legion.
The question of the envoy in front of them also shows that the Sea Lion Legion does not support the Austrian Parliament, so it is self-evident which camp it supports.
