After losing the defense line of the Grand Canal, Kazi Passi, knowing that he could no longer defend it, simply withdrew with his troops.

The support of the Yangtze River Fleet finally brought new changes to the current stalemate in the southern border war. The expeditionary southern border army successfully captured Manning City.

After the war, the air troops landed slowly. Seeing Kalgan covered in blood, Zhou Yi was slightly shocked and quickly called the elf sacrifice to perform a healing spell on Kalgan.

But he didn't expect to be stopped by Kalgan on his own initiative.

"General, please don't worry. They are all flesh wounds. There is no need for the elf priests to waste their mana. Apply some medicine to the wounds and they will heal quickly."

After hearing this, Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered someone to call a medic over to treat Kalgan's wounds.

It was said to be a flesh wound, but it was actually more serious than said.

All the cuts had to be sutured with needles and threads, and it was definitely not as easy as applying some medicine to heal the wounds, as Kalgan said.

"Is the six-winged Holy Winged Species on the opposite side really that strong? Without the support of the prayers, can it still hurt the Colonel like this?"

Zhou Yi, who asked this question, had a somewhat dignified expression on his face.

In response, Kalgan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Although I don't want to admit it, that guy is indeed very strong. However, after the prayer is gone, the number of times the opponent uses magical spells has dropped significantly. At the same time, he no longer uses the stronger state before, which makes the battle difficult to fight.

few."

After listening carefully to Kalgan's words, Zhou Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of thoughtfulness.

"According to the information previously obtained, the recovery speed of this faith power is very slow. Moreover, unlike the mage troops of our civilization of all worlds, which can speed up the recovery speed through magic crystals, they seem to be able to accumulate it slowly through 'prayer'. According to

In this situation, I am afraid that we can only use consumption methods against that Holy Winged Species."

While his thoughts were whirling, Zhou Yi signaled Kalgan to have a good rest, but he himself, as the supreme commander of the southern army, had just captured Manning City, and obviously still had many things to arrange.

After the battle, the fleet commanded by Yuan Xi rested for three days in Manning City, and then set off again soon, preparing to return to the South China Sea battlefield.

After all, it is impossible for their Yangtze River fleet to advance with the southern army. At the same time, during this period, the enemy is constantly building warships, developing naval combat power, and trying to launch a counterattack.

Although the Yangtze River Fleet has only mobilized half of its combat power, the remaining half is still on the battlefield in the South China Sea to suppress the enemy's combat power. However, if it has been away for too long, variables will inevitably happen, so it is safer to rush back.

Once the border was broken, Manning City was the largest defense line in the northern border of Charlie Crombell's empire.

Now that the defense line is lost, it is equivalent to losing 80% of the territory in the north.

The southern army marched all the way, and the northern cities fell one after another. This period of time was like a nightmare for him.

Staring at a pair of bloodshot eyes, Charlie Crombell, who had not been able to sleep for several days, seemed to be in a bad state at the moment.

He sent out messages one after another to confirm the situation with Robert Smith.

But if this momentum continues, his empire may be over before he can get reinforcements!

After washing his face with cold water and taking two deep breaths, Charlie Crombell almost told himself in a self-hypnotic way that temporary gains and losses were nothing, as long as his empire had not completely fallen.

As long as he is still alive, there is still a chance for a comeback!

Staring at the map in front of him, after forcing his mind to calm down, a hoarse voice sounded from his mouth.

"Let the South China Sea Fleet be dispatched! The fleet that attacked Manning City cannot return in a short time. This is probably the only chance to reverse the situation at sea!"

This order from Charles Crombell was unanimously recognized by the ministers below.

Indeed, no matter how hard they hold on to the battle situation at sea, they cannot force out five or six battleships. They might as well fight it while the combat power on the opposite sea is dispersed!

An order was quickly issued, and the Imperial Navy fleet that had been gritting its teeth in the South China Sea was finally dispatched at this moment.

In order to build a fleet capable of launching a Jedi counterattack in a short period of time, Charlie Crombell spent all his money! At the same time, the mobilization of a large amount of funds basically brought the development of his empire to a complete standstill.

.

It is no exaggeration to say that if this wave fails, it will not be far from a complete collapse.

It is enough to see that Charlie Crombell put all his hopes on it!

"Report to Lieutenant Colonel, in the southeast direction, about three hundred miles away, traces of a strange fleet were found on the sea!"

The elf druid's report made Tong Lei slightly shocked.

After Yuan Xi led half of his combat force to support Manning City, the command task on this side fell to Tong Lei, his adjutant.

To say that there is no pressure on Tong Lei is definitely a lie.

Fortunately, things have been going smoothly in the past few months. Now this sudden accident made his nerves suddenly tense.

"What is the configuration of that strange fleet?"

"Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel, it has been confirmed that the total number of battleships is forty-two, of which twenty-eight are confirmed to be converted civilian ships, nine are confirmed to be destroyers, one is confirmed to be a battleship, and the remaining four are confirmed to be of different hull sizes.

It is larger than a destroyer and is also equipped with heavy naval guns, but it does not reach the scale of a battleship..."

At the end of the report, the Elf Druid frowned unconsciously, probably because he didn't know how to describe the four battleships.

However, this is not the point.

Different from the past when they randomly found a few civilian modified ships to attack them, this wave on the other side was really big?!

Tong Lei can become Yuan Xi's adjutant and obtain the rank of lieutenant colonel, so he cannot be a mediocre person.

So he quickly realized that the other party should have already known that they had sent half of their warships to support the Manning City battlefield, so he wanted to take advantage of their scattered combat power to launch a counterattack at sea!

Nowadays, the Yangtze River Fleet has only four battleships and twenty destroyers. In terms of the number of combat units alone, the other side surpasses them, but the overall quality is not high.

Those civilian warships that have been temporarily modified are basically equivalent to miscellaneous soldiers on the sea. At the same time, there is only one battleship as a large-scale war unit at sea.

As for the four unexplained battleships, according to Tong Lei's personal guess, they are probably the result of a compromise made by the other party in order to speed up manufacturing efficiency while preserving firepower because they did not have the time or energy to build more battleships...
