Chapter 419 Moon Night in the Sea

Time advanced to the second night of the end of the naval battle, and the fleet of the Blue Dragon Sea Battle Group was still moored in the sea where the battle had originally occurred. Because of the previous naval battle, although it seemed that the Blue Dragon Sea Battle Group had won by sinking the local flagship, it did lose more than the other side.

Being tricked by the prank elves in the South China Sea, the Blue Dragon Sea Regiment was beaten with no place to fight back. Among them, three warships sank, and the other six were seriously damaged. In desperation, they had no choice but to abandon the ship. Finally, with the rest of the warships that have been damaged to varying degrees, it can be said that this time the Blue Dragon Sea Battle Group won a heavy victory.

On the flagship Polaris, Diaz held a routine military meeting with Kirrog and Minia, as well as the captains of each ship. The content of the discussion was naturally about the resolution on whether to continue to march next.

Monia announced the status of the current fleet repair at the meeting: "According to the days of rush repair of our maintenance engineering force, the current repair progress has been completed by 70%. The rest of the repair work cannot be completed on the sea, so we can only wait until we arrive at the port later. Carry out further repairs."

Kilrog said impatiently, "It's so complicated that I'm confused. Why don't you just say whether you can continue to march tomorrow?"

Monia is really not happy to have a friendly communication with a rough man like Kilrog: "According to the reply provided by our maintenance engineering force, the fleet can leave tomorrow, but because some ships are too seriously damaged, it will affect the speed of navigation."

Kilrog: "That means that there is a boat that will drag its legs, right?"

Diaz: "We must not abandon these ships. Even if the speed is slower, we must ensure that no ship will be left alone and fall into a dangerous environment. Now we have suffered such a huge loss that we can't give up any more ships."

Menia: "The commander of the Legion is so right."

Killrog: "However, in this way, it will waste a lot more than the original scheduled trip time."

Mania: "I have just received the war report here. At present, the situation on land is that it has been confirmed that the four territories of the kingdom: Hyland, Rebel, Nibble and Karad, have all fallen under the control of the rebels, and our task this time is to fight against the sea with Lord Kimberley of the Karad's territory. The rebels in Lancheng carried out a crusade. Now it seems that there is only one of our troops left, and the mission has failed.

After Monia said this, the captains below also discussed whether to continue to march on this topic.

As the commander of the army, his decision is the most important. This time, he is also in a dilemma. On the one hand, if he continues to march, he originally planned to march together with the lord's troops of Karad's territory, but now he only has his own naval force, although the Blue Dragon naval battle The regiment can also carry out landing operations, but in this way, it must have suffered heavy losses, and if the kingdom does not send reinforcements in time, the situation will become very unfavorable. On the other hand, if this division returns to North Korea, there can be a reason to explain before, but now the legion has suffered such a huge loss, and it will definitely be severely punished if it goes back.

If it is only to punish Diaz alone, Diaz will not hesitate to choose to withdraw his troops. However, with the previous failure of the Red Dragon Reloading Regiment, if it fails again and returns, the reputation of the kingdom army will be greatly affected. At that time, the whole army will suffer It's hard to imagine what kind of punishment it will be.

In the end, Diaz made a decision to continue to march. And everyone below still fully supported Diaz's decision, so the meeting was dissolved and will start officially tomorrow.

After the meeting, only Diaz and Minya were left in the whole conference room.

Diaz: "Huh? Minia, why are you still here? It's late at night, so you should go and have a good rest.

Monia: "Legion leader, you should go to rest earlier."

Diaz: "Me, I actually want to read the book again first."

Diaz likes reading very much, which is interested. Even after becoming the commander of the army with many affairs, he still hasn't changed. He always has to squeeze out some time to read every day.

Minia knows Diaz's preferences, but what she really wants to say is not this: "Legion leader, in fact, I can see that you seem to be a little heavy in the past few days."

Diaz has always been so melancholy in front of people. Other people may not be able to see any difference, but for the female Minia, she can feel it. Diaz is really distressed in his heart.

Diaz: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I will try my best to keep everyone safe."

Monia: "However, what we want to see more is that you are fine. After the battle the day before yesterday, we actually understand that the opponents we face this time are different from the ordinary pirates we usually fight against. This time, even the one that has always made us feel thorny. Zigefei of the lion heart group is also there. More than that, the other side has also won an overwhelming victory on the battlefield on land. Compared with the combat strength of the two sides, if we really enter the landing war, we will definitely fall into a very unfavorable situation.

Diaz: "I understand your concern, but we have not received an order from Wangdu to withdraw our troops, so we can only move on. Maybe at least, we have to move forward to Hailan City and then make the next decision." Diaz couldn't bear to let his soldiers take risks and sacrifice like this, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, so he could only take the next step before making a decision.

Monia: "I see, I will try my best to do my job to work for you, the commander of the legion. I have a question here. I really want to ask the leader of the legion.

Diaz: "What's the question?"

Monia: "Now we have caught two leaders of the enemy pirate gang, but why do you ask the commander of the legion to be kind to them? We can obviously use them as bargaining chips to demand each other's surrender.

Diaz: "If you want to change to Captain Kilrog as the opponent, how do you think he will answer this question?"

Monia has been with Kilrog for so many years, and she has to understand his temperament: "Captain Kilrog is sure... So, I understand."

Diaz: "Actually, when I saw these two people, I knew that they not only had great abilities, but also were not those vicious pirates. If possible, I really hope that these people could be used by the kingdom, just like he joined the captain of Kilrog."

It turns out that Diaz has the desire to recruit talents, so he treats Edward and Hawke well.

Monia: "However, they are not just pirates. They are actually rebels. You know, those rebels are stubborn and dangerous."

Diaz: "It's man-made. Maybe when their injuries are healed, I will talk to them in person and understand what they really want to think before making a final determination."

Monia: "Then I hope you can do everything, the leader of the legion."

Diaz sighed in his heart and whispered to himself, "Is everything as I wish... If only someone could replace me..."

Monia: "Legion Commander, what were you talking about?"

Diaz: "No, it's nothing. It's late now, so you can go and have a good rest."

Monia: "Okay, I'll check the arrangement of the alert work first, and then go to rest. Then, you should also rest early, Commander of the Legion."

After that, Minia left the conference room and inspected the flagship to check the security work.

On the vast sea, even at night, there are bright moons in the sky, shining on the sea, so that it will not be dark. Moreover, the fleets of the Blue Dragon Sea Regiment are aligned with each other, discharge a circular phalanx, and use searchlights to keep scanning the sea. Therefore, if an enemy wants to attack at night, it is also very difficult. Difficult things.

The defense and vigilance measures of the Blue Dragon Sea Regiment are not only on the sea, but also under the water. Every night, the Blue Dragon Sea Regiment will release a "sentinel in the sea", which is a large aquatic fish-like animal. Just like its title, it is a sentry in the sea, a kind of aquatic animal specially trained to raise and train in order to take on the surroundings of the ship in such a light and dim environment like night. Sentinels on patrol missions.

These "sea sentries" are a feature of the kingdom's navy, and Edward and Hawke also have them. Previously, they relied on these "sea sentries" to defeat the rescue plan of the Hailan soldiers when they gambled, which shows that their ability is not small. Well-trained, relying on their sensitive sense of smell, they can smell human, float out of the water and make calls to warn.

In the air, due to the distance from the mainland and the loud noise made by the griffin flying, there is no danger of the griffin attack at night, but just be careful to make the ten-thousand-year ship. Because this time the opponent is the Lion Heart Regiment, I am worried that there will be an attack by the Griffin cavalry, so it is also specially from the Canglong. The flying eagle borrowed a sentry eagle that can guard against the griffins to guard the air. The sentry eagle is an animal with a farther field of vision than the griffin. With this specialty, after training, it can guard the griffins from the air for the army of the kingdom.

With such strict defense measures, it is no wonder that the Blue Dragon Sea Regiment is really a rare opponent at sea. And every resting soldier can enjoy a round of beautiful dreams on such a night. They really sleep peacefully and at ease.

However, just as the more dangerous the place is, the safer it is. On the other hand, if you get used to safety, once there is a little accident, it will become out of control. And those sleeping soldiers of the Blue Dragon Sea Regiment may not have dreamed of it. Now, the crisis is slowly approaching them.

At the bottom of the flagship Polaris, which is closely protected by other warships, a person's head surfaced. In detail, there are also more than 30 people, each wearing black night clothes. Needless to guess, these people must be people who will bring trouble to the Blue Dragon Sea Regiment.

Who are these people? How did they break through the warning network of "Sentinels in the Sea" and come to the "North Star" so close?

These men in black, agile, took out several suction cup-like instruments from their backs, put them on the iron plate of the ship, and began to slowly climb up. Two of them seem to be the leaders, the most agile and at the forefront.

These two people, looking at their bodies, seem to be very young, and they are also a man and a woman. Among them, the man kept saying to the woman, "Xiao Ying, don't be so fast. Everyone is very tired."

It turned out to be Xiaoying, and the man who called her like this is naturally the loyal guardian of Xiaoying, Kuroha Yingwan, and those who follow them are believed to be the people who belong to the same ninja village. As a special force of the Lion Heart Group, they appeared here this time, which has shown that the Lion Heart Corps will be tonight. There is going to be a big move.

Xiaoying taught Yingwan softly, "Don't be so loud. If we shock the enemy, our hard work will be in vain."

Yingwan really didn't dare to sing against Xiaoying and admitted his mistake repeatedly: "Oh, I'm sorry."

Xiao Ying: "Okay, everyone, keep up."

So, these dozens of shadows slowly climbed to the boat.

Now, as for why Sakura and Shadow Maru and others can reach the "North Star" so smoothly without being discovered by the "Sea Sentinel", it is because of the opportunity created by the physiological defects of the "Sea Sentinel" itself. Although the sentry in the sea is a creature living in the water, it is an animal rather than a fish, so it needs to breathe air. Therefore, it can't dive for too long is a major flaw, and it can only cruise about 70 meters below the sea.

However, this shortcoming is also owned by human beings, and this shortcoming is also far greater than the "sea sentinel". Humans can't hold their breath for a long time, which is much worse than the "sea sentry", and the human body odor will certainly be smelled by the "sea sentinel". If you want to swim with the "sea sentry" , I'm really sure to lose.

This is the reason why the Blue Dragon Sea Battle Group will be so relieved to hand over the sea level to the "sea sentry", but unfortunately, now there is a group of people with special skills and strange utensils that make the "sea sentry" feel ashamed, that is, ninjas.

Among the special skills and utensils possessed by ninjas, there is a special drug that can eliminate body odor and other odors. This is also a ninja whose main special skill is stealth reconnaissance and can avoid being sniffed by the enemy. The sense of smell can deceive the "sentinel in the sea", but the sound of swimming and the appearance of suspicious figures will also disturb the "sentinel in the sea".

Everyone who accompanies the sea knows that there is pressure underwater, and ordinary people can't dive to a depth of less than 50 meters, and it is difficult for swimmers to break through the limit of 80 meters, and the "sentinel in the sea" only stay in the seabed at a depth of 60 or 70 meters. At this point, ninjas also rely on their own powerful physical functions that have been painstakingly honed since childhood, enduring the pressure that ordinary people can't resist the depth of 100 meters on the seabed, and another special instrument - water bamboo tube, which contains special drugs that can turn the exhaust gases that people exhale into empty to breathe. Qi, the ninjas slipped under the eyes of the "sentinel in the sea" in this way.

Relying on the suction cup, a group of ninjas finally climbed to the crossbow launch of the Polaris. Seeing that there were no soldiers and guards, 30 people quickly rolled into the ship.

Xiao Ying: "Okay, let's follow the plan and act separately. Everyone remembers the structural map inside the ship."

Yingwan: "Xiaoying, your side is the most dangerous. Be careful."

Xiaoying: "You'd better worry about yourself. Don't mess it up without me staring at you."

After that, 30 soldiers were divided into three ways and separated.
