Eight Hundred and Ninetieth IX Long-Distance Marching Exercise
After circling for three weeks, Yiyi didn't land, but spread its wings and flew away towards the direction it came from.
Harold looked at this scene suspiciously: "Your Excellency, isn't that your pet? What's the meaning of such weird behavior?"
Yahan said with a smile: "It's nothing, maybe it saw a stranger below and didn't want to come down. Just let it fly for a while."
Harold was still puzzled. Yahan shook his hand: "Excuse me."
Yahan walked into the command room of the ship, told the guards to step back, and then took out a linen bag from his waist.
Inside the linen bag was a piece of parchment.
After reading the words on the parchment, Yahan thought for a while, and then walked out of the command room.
"The exercise moves to the next item: long-distance marching and combat! All personnel are in place!"
Yahan's order was passed on to the leaders of the fleets of other countries through semaphore.
Regarding this order, the leaders of various countries were at a loss and sent people to inquire.
The knight Harold and Yahan were on the same boat, and immediately questioned: "The most important thing now is the training of the sailor's underwater combat ability. At present, the training program is only halfway through. Do you want to call it a stop?"
"That's right." Yahan nodded.
There was also a female elf who came in a small boat and was Dorothea's messenger. After approaching, she said: "Your Excellency, Ms. Dorothea sends you greetings. Her opinion is that there is no need for a long-distance march. , This is the job of the helmsman and navigator, there is no improvement for the sailors, they can only sleep in the cabin...so I hope to continue underwater combat drills."
Seeing that there are small boats carrying messengers in the fleets of other countries, it is obvious that they do not support Yahan's decision very much.
Yahan felt a headache, and he deeply realized that although the countries on the mainland formed a "coalition", they had different commands and were essentially disorganized. Subordinates questioned the commander's orders during military exercises, which is unthinkable in a well-disciplined regular army.
No wonder the Prophet Dio proposed that in order for the nations to form a true alliance, not only must the most elite troops participate in the war, but the army must also have a unified command.
The current problem of the coalition forces, in addition to Yahan's "inconsistent command", is that the quality is average. All countries sent to fight in the waters of Bonus,
They are basically second-rate armies, not the most elite legions.
For example, the swordsingers of the Elf Kingdom, the heavy armored warriors of the Dwarf Kingdom, and the "Wings of Liberty" air cavalry of Calcino...these truly elite troops remained in the country. In order to save face, Queen Camelot sent a small part of the elite mage group, and the eight great mages among them are the backbone of the mage group.
In the final analysis, countries have not yet reached the point of letting go of past grievances and sincerely cooperating, and there are still deep suspicions about each other.
The orc kingdom did not join the coalition forces, and the elf kingdom, which was at war with it, did not dare to send elite troops to participate in the war in the Bonus sea area, and Camelot did not dare to go all out. Naturally, other countries followed suit, and they were all afraid of losing their own elite legions.
Taking a deep breath, Yahan recalled the content on the parchment, and said firmly: "Everyone is in position, follow my flagship, and conduct a long-distance marching exercise! Those who do not obey the command will be deemed to have automatically withdrawn from this exercise, please Return to Port Zakalo immediately."
After speaking, Yahan directly ordered the boat to sail. The flagship sailed all the way to the east.
Several messengers hurriedly sailed back to their respective armies and reported to the leaders.
The leaders of various countries reacted strangely to Yahan. It seems that the commander is angry?
There is no need to go against Lord Yahan's will for such a trivial matter. After weighing the gains and losses, the leaders of various countries quickly ordered the suspension of the underwater combat exercise, followed Yahan's flagship chaotically, and headed east.
Yahan stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the white eagle in the clouds ahead.
"Your Excellency, Commander, is that white eagle leading the way for us?" Catherine the female mage said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid this long-distance march is not part of a military exercise, but has another purpose."
"Of course it's part of the military exercise, and it's an important part," Yahan said.
"Well, let me believe what you said." Catherine shook her head. She had seen the white eagle one by one before, and knew that this white eagle must have a mysterious connection with the Prophet Dior. But Yahan didn't want to reveal it, so she wisely stopped talking.
After the white eagle led the fleet to fly for a certain distance, it suddenly started to circle. After circling for two weeks, spread its wings and glide without moving forward.
After Yahan saw it, he immediately ordered the flagship to stop advancing and stand by for two hours.
The fleets of the countries that followed were confused again, and the leaders of the countries sent messengers to inquire again, but Yahan didn't give any explanation this time, and didn't even give him a chance to meet.
The leaders of the countries felt that Yahan was really angry. They could only follow Yahan's wishes and stand by for orders until the next high-level military meeting was held before questioning the commander.
Said to be on standby for two hours, but two hours passed, and when the sun was about to set, Yahan still did not give the order to sail. He sat calmly on the bow of the flagship, staring at the white eagle that kept gliding but didn't move forward.
Catherine came over quietly.
"Your Excellency Commander, the standby time has passed, should we continue marching?"
"Wait a little longer..." Yahan hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly heard the white eagle chirping, flapping his wings and flying towards the east, while flying, he let out a clear chirping.
"The time has come!"
Yahan jumped up suddenly, and said loudly: "Order to set sail and prepare for a naval battle! Send an orderer to make it clear to the commanders of the fleets of various countries that this is not a drill!"
...
Ghost ship.
At this time, a naval battle has already broken out in the sea area where the giant ship is located!
Just like what Bai Xiaowen saw on the prophecy slate (bad luck bracelet), ghost ships emerged from the bottom of the sea one after another. In front, there were assault boats carrying snake warriors to charge.
At this time, Qiao Rui, Han Xu and Li Shuyi were no longer on the ghost ship, only Cecilia accompanied Bai Xiaowen.
It was dusk. Those Camelot mages are already convinced by Bai Xiaowen's ability as a prophet.
"Fire! Shoot in turn. The odd-numbered forts come first, and the even-numbered forts follow!" Bai Xiaowen ordered loudly, "Aim at the ghost ship and then fire. Don't worry about those assault boats! Don't panic, reinforcements are already on their way!"
The mages hurried to their positions.
Tom Tom Tom!
The magic crystal cannon roared.
