Chapter 383: Different Positions
Andrey looked around and saw the officers, feeling quietly distressed.
These people were officers of the kingdom, not his officers.
He was just a wizard, and his main job was to study magic, not train soldiers.
In other words, these officers did not know him well; he simply held a high position.
Anyone who knows military history understands that in this age, if a high official suddenly appears, everyone has to listen to him; it is unclear what will happen.
"My lord, what shall we do now?" a scholar approached Andrey.
The officers also looked at Andrey.
They were unsure, but they had to be careful about what Karoso mentioned.
If Lord Andrey really gives the order to go to war, do we really have to fight?
The morale is at its lowest, Andrey is not familiar with military matters, we can’t match their strong power, and our leader is still in their hands…
Actually, everything else can be set aside; the most important thing is that we can’t match their strong power.
If we could definitely win against Karoso, then everything would be easier to discuss.
At first, the kingdom never imagined that Karoso would be this strong in battle.
In this one-on-one fight, it should not have been the prince facing Karoso; normally, a commander wouldn’t fight like a soldier.
Of course, Karoso was also a bit impulsive; whoever loses would create a disastrous situation.
"Let them go!" Andrey gritted his teeth, "We need to go back; the prince’s life is the most important!"
This matter is puzzling for Andrey; if he goes back now, at least he can save the prince’s life.
If the prince dies here, his true intentions will be hard to understand.
Although it’s still difficult to explain when going back, no matter what, the prince would never trouble his savior.
When the soldiers heard Andrey’s words, it felt like they had been granted a pardon.
"Remember to put all the shells on the deck, and keep the Exorcist Bullet separate," Karoso said loudly. "Oh, and leave me one troop’s worth of supplies and one ship. Also, leave the daily supplies needed for this troop."
There is nothing more we can use, but this troop can still make do.
"Karoso, don’t go too far, don’t think that I’m really afraid of you!" Andrey said, burning with anger.
"Hmm?" Karoso said loudly. "First flight team!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
One by one, small bombers flew into the sky, circling above the ships of the Kingdom of Persia.
Looking at those bombers, the soldiers were even more afraid, forgetting to adjust the anti-aircraft guns at this moment.
"Look at your navy’s Magic Shield, can it withstand my Exorcist Bullet!" Karoso tightened his grip on Gaitan’s neck, saying, "Will you give it or not?"
"Lord Andrey, calm down! There’s no time to prepare for battle!" an officer quickly advised.
Bang!
Andrey’s magic wand struck the ship sharply, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Give!"
[By the way, is Andrey a good person?]
[Uh… in the game, Andrey is with us.]
[There are no good guys or bad guys, just different sides.]
After collecting a whole ship of weapons and a regiment of prisoners, Karoso was in a very good mood.
This integration took a whole night.
Although the Kingdom of Persia’s equipment is not great, the netizens always tell Karoso to take the enemy’s equipment and use it directly, and there are also mentions of untrustworthy cannons. Karoso did not mind, as long as it could be used. Anyway, it would be impossible to have enough supplies later on.
The supply line is too far, so they have to fight to earn resources.
……
It is now night time.
The fleet that came to ambush Karoso is ready.
Canglang Province suddenly declared war. Although it was abrupt, the Pande Empire had already made plans when Karoso’s fleet was heading this way.
After all, Aileen and Karoso have a very good relationship.
According to the official statement, when the Presea Empire sent its fleet forcefully into Pande Empire’s territory, it was already a test.
The Pande Empire believed that Karoso’s arrival might be the second test from Presea, so they needed to strike hard against Karoso’s fleet, showing the world that the Pande Empire was not unable to fight, but simply wanted to destroy Aileen.
The Pande Empire deployed nearly five times the number of soldiers; they were not the best troops, but they were not far from that.
The ships of the Pande Empire were all wooden, but they were equipped with Magic Cannons, and all the ships were powered by magical arrays, giving them combat strength that was not weaker than Karoso’s ironclad ships, and even stronger.
However, these wooden ships had one disadvantage: to compensate for the steam and iron, they needed many magical arrays, making them low in cost-effectiveness.
Magical materials are much more expensive than steel and similar substances.
It is not clear why Pande likes such intricate things; breaking a few magical arrays could lead to damage.
Unlike the equipment of Presea and Canglang Province, which is known for being cheap and durable.
It is unknown when Karoso will arrive; fighting at sea is usually more relaxed, without the chance of sudden attacks, so the navy felt quite at ease.
For example, right now, three patrolling sailors are chatting.
"I heard the commander say that this time we will have five times the enemy’s soldiers to fight them." Navy A said with a smile, "Who would be so foolish to dare attack the Pande Empire?"
"That’s not right. They said there are five times the ships and fifty thousand people, but…" Navy B scratched his head, "I heard that there are actually only more than thirty thousand."
"Shh, be quiet." Navy C made a ‘silence’ gesture, "Isn’t it good that we have more people than they do?"
"Besides, this is a naval battle, so we don’t need to fight hand-to-hand, right? Hand-to-hand combat is something from hundreds of years ago." Navy A said, "As long as we aim at the enemy and fire the Magic Cannon, their ironclad ships will just melt away."
"What about those planes? Can they defeat our professional team?" Navy C also tried to comfort him, "Professionals can fight like a whole division by themselves."
"Are they really that powerful?" Navy B said quietly, "I’ve seen Professionals before, and they were just ordinary…"
"Pfft, that’s because you haven’t seen them. The knight commander faced a whole knight squad by himself and made them all flee." Navy A said with envy, "How great it would be if I were a Professional."
"Well…" Navy B finally felt a bit relieved, "This is my last year in the military. Once I finish my service, I can go back home and marry Lily…"
"Ha, then you can go back with your achievements." Navy C patted his shoulder, "You will definitely have a big sum of money."
Splash…
At that moment, the water flow underneath the sea became a bit faster.
"Hmm?" Navy B paused for a moment, "Did our ship just rock a little?"
"Don’t worry about it, don’t scare yourself. We have magic circles to guard against submarines; how deep can they dive?" Navy A stretched lazily.
