The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

As Augustus finished speaking, Muller narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly:

"what's the plan?"

This rhetorical question made Augustus stunned. He laughed loudly: "What other plan could it be?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to conquer those barbarians?"

"You mean the Qian people?" Muller asked back.

Augustus frowned: "What else?" Muller said nothing, just looked at Augustus.

His expression had long since returned to its usual indifference, but Augustus detected a hint of contempt in his eyes.

So Augustus's face darkened: "What do you mean? You might as well explain it clearly!"

"Just as you thought, sir."

"Of course, we are going to occupy the land of the Qian people and conquer them." Muller lowered his head, straightened the wrinkles on his military uniform, and then said indifferently:

"But you seem to underestimate the Qian people."

"Your Excellency seems to want us to prepare for war immediately and go to Daqian as soon as possible, but I don't want to be in such a hurry."

At this point, Lukat, who was listening quietly, clasped his palms together and looked at Muller:

"Marshal Mueller also thinks that Daqian will be a difficult opponent to conquer?"

Augustus looked grimly at Lucat and said, "You know this again?"

Lucat ignored it and just looked at Mueller, who turned to look at him: "Yes."

"Although we lack too much intelligence and cannot know the combat capability of Daqian's navy, they definitely have good strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, Augustus suddenly said loudly:

"I say that even if they have ten ships, they can't defeat one of ours!"

"Why don't you lead the Sea Lion Fleet to give it a try?" Muller said expressionlessly.

Augustus's face froze, and Lucat was happy to see him get humiliated, so he said nothing.

After a moment of silence, Augustus spread his hands and laughed:

"Then wait! Haha."

He sat up from his chair with such force that the chair fell to the deck with a bang.

Anger was growing in his chest, and the laughter was just a cover-up. Augustus crossed his arms and stared fiercely at Lucat's face:

"Since we all feel unsure, let's wait for the Sari fleet to arrive."

"Once they arrive, we should head to Daqian! Let's go together and beat those pretentious people to a pulp!"

Being stared at by such a fierce gaze, Lucat knew it was a warning.

But before he could say anything, Mueller had already left with his hands behind his back. Before leaving, he said:

"Be patient, everyone. We are a unit at this time."

Hearing this, Lucat frowned and rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

Nangang Port at night.

Qin Ze put his hands behind his back and watched the warships leave the port with a calm expression.

These are not the warships that were exchanged when we came to Nangang before, but new warships that were exchanged one after another in the past two days. Now these warships are leaving the port to prepare for the next combat plan.

Unlike battles on land, there is one key factor in large-scale battles at sea: the odds are always fair to both sides.

That is the geographical advantage.

The vast ocean is vast enough, so vast that it is boundless and has almost no end. There is no geographical advantage on this battlefield.

As long as there are sufficient supplies, the warships can carry the soldiers to stay at sea for a long time and can go to any place to fight, of course, provided that there are no sudden weather changes.

It is just the beginning of summer now. Under normal circumstances, storms and thunderstorms will only come after June. Of course, this does not rule out the possibility of strong winds in advance, but the weather has been very good recently, with sunny days every day.

Therefore, this is enough for Qin Ze to send more warships to be deployed on the sea.

At present, he is still unclear about how many enemy ships there are, but since they are from many countries, there must be many of them. Therefore, he has to make the most appropriate deployment of troops. If nothing else, at least there must be enough warships.

When Qin Ze went to Nan Ze before, he ordered Zheng He to send some warships to other ports. This has built a coastal defense line. The warships that are patrolling non-stop are currently patrolling the near sea day and night, and the general direction of the sea area where the enemy ships are located has also been determined.

In order to win the next naval battle, it is necessary to rely on the number of warships, as well as the efficiency and density of the ship's artillery. Of course, the importance of firepower density must be greater than accuracy, but this also requires the support of firing rate.

Therefore, the ships exchanged this time are basically giant tower ships. More cannons with fast and long-range firing rates can be deployed on these large ships, while those small and medium-sized ships will not be able to play any role in large-scale naval battles.

In a head-on battle, the giant ships must be deployed in a long snake formation to carry out frontal bombardment. Dispersed combat will definitely cause chaos and prevent the fleet from exerting its full strength.

After all, it is impossible to carry out flexible combat deployment at sea like on land.

After sending off these warships tonight, Qin Ze expected that the foreigners he had let go would also return to their base camp.

In this way, within a few days, they will reveal their true colors and extend their claws towards our country.

"Come on, powerful men from various nations, let's see who among us is the hunter on this sea!" Qin Ze muttered to himself and raised his head to look at the night sky.

-

Lucat was lying on the bench, holding the back of his head, looking at the starry sky with a dull look.

"Ugh."

He sighed and said helplessly: "Leto, if I had known you would be like this, I would have asked the emperor to give you the position of marshal before I came here."

Laito on the side quickly waved his hands: "Marshal, you can't say that."

"The emperor entrusted you with the important task of expanding the territory. This is a recognition of your ability. I am just an assistant who helps you and provides advice when you are unable to make a decision."

Hearing this, Lucat rolled his eyes, turned his head and looked at him and said:

"So you've decided to keep us here and give it a try?"

Laito sighed softly, "It has come to this point. We can't come here in vain. If Daqian is conquered by them, we will lose the right to speak on territorial issues in the future."

"You also know that Augustus is determined to win this time. We can't just watch the Hungarian Empire gain huge benefits abroad while we do nothing, right?"

"You think really far ahead. You have even thought about it to this level. Hmm... you really have a long-term vision! You are worthy of being a marshal!" Lucat gave him a thumbs up.

Laito shook his head. "Please stop making fun of me."

"I think what the Golt said is not wrong. He is an ambitious man, but also very steady. When the fleet of the Sauri Kingdom arrives, we will definitely get a good return this time."

"Believe in our strength, Marshal!" Leto said earnestly.

Lucat had nothing to say, and his heart was filled with melancholy.

He understood very well that each country's fleet that came here was fighting on its own. If they could obey orders and attack Daqian with all their might, it would be like the sun rising in the west.

Therefore, when fighting, unless you have gained a huge advantage at the beginning, even if the two sides are evenly matched, your side will definitely be in chaos and the fight will be a mess.

Of course, unless the Sari Kingdom’s fleet really brings an unmatched number of warships and matching combat power.

As for now, Lucat thought that he might get a serious illness and must return home for treatment before he could safely escape from this unfavorable war.

So Lucat slept on the deck that night, and the next morning he started coughing and panting, with a pale face.

By the next day, Lucat was lying sick in the cabin, thinking that Leto could be appointed as commander in a day or two.

But that evening, both good news and bad news came.

The ocean-going fleet of the overlord of the Leon continent, the Sari Kingdom, finally appeared on the sea.
