As the supreme commander of the South China Sea Fleet, Yuan Xi had a very thorough view of the entire battle situation.

If they choose to attack by force, they will definitely be able to capture this port city at a certain price.

However, that's not necessary.

The Europa fleet currently scattered in the outer waters is restrained by the Gallic fleet and the Fran fleet, while the escort fleet in the offshore area is actively attacked by the Fuso camp's lightning strike fleet.

However, this state of affairs cannot be maintained forever.

If they choose to occupy this port city, then the Europa fleet at sea will definitely come back and start a recapture operation.

When the time comes, they, occupying a port, will appear somewhat passive in the face of the Europa fleet's offensive.

Rather than that, it would be better to divide this operation into two waves of offensive.

In this wave, just destroy the supplies on the opposite side first, and at the same time suppress the strength of the troops stationed at the port.

As for this port city, let the other side continue to occupy it first. Anyway, the food and grass supplies are gone now. In less than a month, the Europa Maritime Fleet, which is deprived of supplies, will have to destroy itself.

When the time comes, launch a second wave of offensive, easily destroy the opponent's fleet, and then capture the port city.

With this idea in mind, Yuan Xi, who had enough arbitrary power over this maritime war, issued a retreat order quite simply after seeing that the fighting was almost over.

The South China Sea Fleet's active retreat can be said to have brought the port attack war to a temporary end.

However, looking back at the port that was almost in ruins, it was obvious that no one could have peace this night.

Early the next morning, when the sky was dark, Lieutenant Colonel Europa, who had hardly slept all night, stared with bloodshot eyes, listening to the loss report of the soldier in front of him, his whole face was completely livid.

From beginning to end, it was always bad news and nothing good!

Not to mention the destruction of a large number of buildings and the casualties of soldiers, the warehouses storing grain and the warehouses storing arms and ammunition in the port area were almost completely destroyed. This is the most terrible thing!

This batch of supplies was just delivered from the rear at the beginning of the month!

According to estimates, it is enough to support the consumption of their border fleet and garrison troops for a quarter.

But now, it is completely destroyed. This wave of losses can be said to be heavy!

At this moment, I don't know if it was because he didn't sleep all night, but the Europa Lieutenant Colonel felt that his mind was blank, and he was almost losing the ability to think.

Rubbing his livid face vigorously, and taking a deep breath, the Europa lieutenant colonel waved his hand, signaling the soldiers who had finished reporting to leave.

The moment the office door closed, the soldiers who were still standing outside the door clearly heard a violent smashing sound coming from inside.

Subconsciously, he exchanged glances with the guards standing on both sides of the door. The three of them obviously looked at each other for a while.

But at the same time, I know more or less in my heart.

In this port fortress, their lieutenant colonel's application to be transferred to the central government was not a secret to begin with.

However, after something like this happened, it became clear that there was no chance.

Even if His Majesty does not impose severe punishment, thank God.

As for whether there will be opportunities for promotion in the future?

Unless you are accomplishing some huge feat, it's better not to think blindly.

His career, which was originally bright, was abruptly cut off. Whoever it was, his mentality would probably explode.

In the following period of time, each of the soldiers showed considerable tacit understanding and were cautious in doing things. If at this juncture, they were punished by their lieutenant colonel because of some trivial mistakes,

It would be unjust for him to express his anger.

At the same time, on the other side, although this wave of night attacks failed to capture the port, it bombed the supply warehouse at the opposite port and cut off the supplies on the opposite side. It can be said that it achieved considerable results.

Therefore, there is naturally nothing to be dissatisfied with the foreign joint fleet that is busy protecting them.

Not to mention that this plan to attack the port is extremely difficult.

Unlike them who only need to entangle the Europa fleet and offshore escort fleet on the periphery, night is not suitable for fleet operations. Coupled with the presence of murloc troops, night attacks on ports require huge risks.

Under this premise, it is extremely difficult for the South China Sea Fleet to withstand such risks and pressures and destroy Europa's supplies.

Yes, this is what Yuan Xi said to the foreign camp, and it was also the plan he told the opponent at the beginning.

He did not tell the other party that the warehouses storing supplies at the Europa port were blown up by their goblin airships with aerial bombs.

Anyway, at three o'clock in the morning, it was dark and no one could see clearly. At most, they could hear the violent explosion and the fire caused by the explosion, but what could that mean?

Even if they may have some guesses in their minds, after all, they haven't seen it with their own eyes, so who can be sure?

Now turn the perspective to the deep sea camp, to the side of the murloc troops.

Zach, who had confirmed the latest intelligence and the wave of night raids, looked visibly condensed. After thinking for a moment, he spoke in a deep voice...

"This is a test from the other side. We have been showing weakness during this period to conserve our strength. The other side may have doubts. Therefore, he is testing us to see if we still have any hidden cards."

Having said this, Zach took a breath and then spoke again...

"Destroying the supplies stored in the Europa port is equivalent to cutting off our escape route. At that time, it will be useless even if we play any more powerful cards than he expected. As long as he can delay time, we will be without supplies.

, sooner or later it will face self-destruction.”

"Then what are you going to do next?"

The sailfish lieutenant colonel looked at Zach with a worried look and asked.

To be honest, he was more worried about Zach's condition than the upcoming battle.

Now, he seems to be a completely different person.

In this regard, I just heard Zach speak again unhurriedly...

"Follow the original plan."

While speaking, Zach sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and then continued...

"It's useless even if the other side vaguely guesses our purpose, because they don't know when we will take action. As for the issue of material supplies..."

Having said this, a cold murderous intent clearly flashed through Zach's eyes.

"As long as you don't let the opponent delay for time, use that battle to give them a fatal blow!!"
