Chapter 20 Ipolita and Barcelona (19)

The Swedish king's battle flag was fluttering above the walls of Azov. Under that flag, Amy accompanied Ella and stared at the flames in the port.

"Your Majesty, they're really rushing into our port," Amy said.

The Pirate Kingdom and the Seven Hills Empire are enemies, so the First Royal Field Army and the Second Royal Field Army would never cross the sea on the Pirate Kingdom ships - but only Ella and the Seven Hills Empire knew about this. In the eyes of the Island Republic, the Pirate Kingdom is undoubtedly an ally of the Seven Hills Empire. It is precisely because of this information gap that Ella used a meaningless transport ship to lead the fleet of the Island Republic out of the Black Sea Strait.

But this is just the first step. Paracelsus's ocean fire is too powerful, and the navy of the Island Republic is well-trained, so even if it leaves the narrow seas, Andrea is not sure of winning.

Therefore, Ella carefully planned Andrea's two failures.

"The troops that had been hiding in the Black Sea Strait and dared not attack, under Andrea's repeated failures, have become a arrogant soldier who rushed forward without thinking when he saw us - the arrogant soldier will be defeated."

As soon as Ella stretched her hand back, a soldier handed over a lit torch. A big pot filled with oil and wood had been arranged beside Ella.

"The amount of ocean fire we have received from the Island Republic is far from enough. Can anyone in the Island Republic see through this most critical trap?"

——Yes, the current battlefield is still full of variables. The little bit of ocean fire seized from the Island Republic can only have a little disturbance to their fleet at most. The reaction of the Island Republic in the next few minutes will ultimately determine the victory or defeat of this naval battle.

The firewood floated on the oil pan, like warships on both sides floating on the sea.

Ella took a breath and threw the torch into the oil pan. With a "wow", the whole oil pan ignited a raging fire.

"Come on, Island Republic - the dice has been rolled!"

The moment the oil pan lit up, the ambushed soldiers buried by Ella drove out of the river and rushed towards the port.

In the midst of the fire, Contalini ran into the cabin, knocked on the door of Ipolita, and hurriedly described the situation on the battlefield.

"We were ambushed, what should we do?" he asked in a trembling voice.

"What a panic! How much blow can the little bit of ocean fire alone cause to us?" Epolita coughed violently, but her shock and anger could still be heard in her voice. "The enemy's ambush must be a distance from us, right? If the fire at sea is also an obstacle to the enemy. You can't even adjust the bow of the ship in front of them?"

Contalini woke up from a dream: "I understand! I will stabilize the morale of the army first!"

Listening to Contarini's footsteps hurriedly away, Epolita raised his body from the straw mat with a violent cough. She knew it was almost impossible to stabilize the morale of Contarini.

"King of Sweden, do you still have the means? Well, since you have thrown the dice, let's fight!"

This is a famous saying by Caesar, the founder of the Seven Hills Empire, before he decided to start a war with Pompeii. The dice has been thrown, and neither side can turn back. Caesar and Pompeii, among them, will be the heroes, and will completely control the Seven Hills Empire; and the losers will be as traitors, and will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever!

Contalini's roar came from the deck: "The fire is very small, the enemy is still far away, don't panic, turn the bow of the ship!"

The officers and the messengers below passed the order one by one, but the sound seemed so faint in the noisy sound of the soldiers. The sudden explosion and the ambush that ran out scared the soldiers of the Island Republic. Even though the officers were already hoarse, the soldiers could not calm down.

Ipolita picked up the Apollo bow of the sun god, held the edge of the boat, and stumbled to the deck. This took a lot of her energy. She lay on the ground and took a few breaths, then struggled to support her body, and shot a speed of light into the sky!

The sudden flash of sunlight attracted the attention of all soldiers and also made the noisy army quiet in an instant. So everyone clearly heard the order: "Don't panic! Turn the bow of the ship! Turn the bow of the ship!!!"

After all, the navy under Contarini was the foundation for the island republic to settle down and had undergone sufficient training and many battlefield tests. Amid Contarini's shouts, most of the captains of the warships quickly judged the current situation and stabilized the emotions of the soldiers under their command.

The warships in the back row, the ocean fire, were already installed in the rear. They quickly lined up in an arc outside the port, preparing to block the enemy's ambush. The warships in the front row began to use nets to salvage wooden boxes floating on the sea. After the fire at the sea weakened, they turned the bow one after another.

Before Ayra's ambush arrived, the fleet of the Island Republic completed its turn. The ocean fires mounted on the bows all aimed at the direction of the enemy ships.

Ipolita laughed and looked back at Azov with pride. If Ella's ambush had not escaped the fire of the ocean, then she, Ipolita, had already won the naval battle!

——"Totally fooled."

Ella's voice sounded on the city wall.

"Why don't you think about it? How could it be the main force of my navy that comes out of the river?"

An explosion sounded. From behind the fleet of the Island Republic. Ipolita turned around and was shocked to see the battleships anchored in the port as "bait" suddenly lit up!

There are three batches of warships docked at the port of Azov.

The group docked at the outermost periphery are large warships in Andrea teams, used to lure the enemy into attack and block part of the enemy's sight.

The group of warships docked in the middle were captured from the hands of the Island Republic. The ocean fires on them were deliberately placed on the side of the ship, which was extremely easy to leak.

After triggering this part of the trap, the Island Republic immediately attracted attention by the ambush arranged by Ella, so that they did not notice it at all. When they drove a distance ahead, the group of warships that were docked in the innermost and protected by the fortifications of Azov were really the main fleet of the Republic of Liguria!

The Navy of the Island Republic is a well-trained unit. Even if the ambush is laid in the distance, their sailors can turn the bow back before the battle.

——But at this distance, they didn’t have time.
