It's time for You.

Although it is already mid-May, the sun will not completely set until close to the hour of Xu, so the sunlight is still bright at this moment, the sky is even bluer, and even clouds are difficult to see above the blue sky.

The gentle and warm sunshine shines on the sparkling sea, and the body does not feel overly hot. In fact, this temperature is the most pleasant in early summer.

If the arrival of the fleet had not caused the seagulls to leave early, it would at least be an exceptionally peaceful scene at this moment.

But at this moment, Lucart felt a chill on his back, which made him sweat on his face. The majestic naval port in front of him stood on the ground. It was so majestic and shocking, but Lucart could see infinite murderous intent from it, like the underworld.

Yes, murderous intent!

The rapid twitching of my eyelids was announcing the danger, and goose bumps appeared on my body in an instant. The Qian people transferred the warships and left this naval port here undefended. They were so confident, so there was no need to guess what they were going to do.

This military port must be equipped with the Qian people’s most lethal weapons!

While it was a killing weapon, it was also an extremely tempting bait. Because of this bait, the fleet relaxed its vigilance and rushed towards it without any investigation.

But since the naval port is both bait and a weapon, it is self-evident what role the disappeared Daqian fleet played.

Lucat didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat off his face. He turned around and ran towards the upper deck. Lieutenant General Leto didn't understand why and kept chasing him, shouting, "Marshal! What are you doing?"

Lucat took two steps at a time and shouted to the sailors at the main mast:

"Quick! Climb up!"

"Hurry up! Look behind us! Quick!"

Although the sailor was puzzled, he still used his hands and feet to grab the rope and climb to the top.

Laito finally caught up with Lucat, and he shouted anxiously: "What's wrong? Marshal."

Lucat turned his head sharply, but his eyes passed over Leto's head and looked further away.

What he saw were warships that were advancing one after another, advancing forward fiercely like a tide. They were the heavy warships of the Fiery Sun Fleet and the Federal Fleet. As for the Sea Lion Fleet on the far right, they were a little slower, but their warships were also sailing forward.

It is very close to the military port, probably less than eight nautical miles away. Artillery cannot be fired at this distance, but at a distance of about five nautical miles, large-caliber long-range artillery is enough to fire shells.

This means that in a moment, the naval confrontation will officially begin.

"It's too late... It's too late..." Lucat's face turned pale and he muttered to himself nervously.

"What do you mean it's too late? Marshal!" Leto was puzzled when he saw that Lucat seemed to have lost his soul. Now the Nangang Wharf was right in front of him. If nothing unexpected happened, it would take less than half an hour to reach the wharf, and it was very likely that all the soldiers from various countries who came to Daqian would be able to set foot on land in two hours.

But what is the marshal thinking about when he looks so flustered?

Lucat did not answer his question. After all, it was too late to say anything now. Only when the battle started would they realize the conspiracy of the Qian people.

And at this moment——

Lucat looked up at the sailor who had climbed to the top of the mainmast and was looking at the naval port ahead.

Lucat was furious. He slapped the main mast with his hand and shouted angrily, "Fool! I told you to look back! Not forward!"

"Look behind us! Look at the sea behind us! See if there are any enemy ships!!"

The sailor looked confused, but still replied, "No, Marshal."

"When I climbed up, I kept looking back, and there was nothing on the sea!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Leto finally realized where Lucat's panic came from.

It turned out that he was worried that the Daqian fleet would go around and attack from behind the fleet.

Laito looked helpless, and his eyes were filled with disappointment.

At this time, the marshal is actually worried that the disappeared Daqian fleet will appear from behind. Isn't that nonsense!

It's like a pack of hunting wolves rushing out of the woods and fiercely charging towards the unguarded sheepfold at the foot of the mountain, but you say that the sheepdogs did not protect the sheep because they bypassed the woods and were going to attack from behind when the wolves entered the sheepfold, launching a counter-encirclement and killing spree against the wolves.

Can this be true? It is absolutely impossible!

Because this means that the sheepfold must be strong enough to resist the intrusion of wolves, and the sheepdogs must have stronger combat power than the wolves, so that the anti-encirclement and killing tactics can be implemented.

But how could Daqian have such conditions?

At this moment, Leto's thoughts were interrupted by Lucat's scream. Lucat shouted at the sailors on the mast:

“Don’t come down!”

"Just stay there! Keep your eyes on the sea behind us!"

At the same time, he turned around abruptly, grabbed Leto's collar, and shouted urgently: "Pass the order! Turn immediately, away from the military port! Towards..."

He nervously scanned the empty sea behind him. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. He immediately woke up and shouted, "Sail due east!"

Due east is the direction away from the sea area where the previous fleet was staying, and also away from the direction of the previous offshore islands.

Facing Lukat's sudden order, Leto felt that he seemed to be making too much of a fuss. But before he could persuade him, Lukat gritted his teeth and roared, "Quick!"

"If anyone doesn't listen, get off the boat now!"

"I will take full responsibility for this decision!!!"

As they got closer to the naval port, as various doubts began to connect together, Lucat was no longer indecisive. At this moment, he was extremely clear-headed and determined.

We must get away from the naval port as quickly as possible. Not only that, but when retreating, we cannot return to the original sea area and we must stay away from the offshore islands that have been previously ignored.

At this moment, with this death order, Leto's face turned pale. He opened his mouth but knew that he could no longer persuade Lucat. He seemed to be really scared crazy by some unreasonable delusions at this critical moment.

But there was no way, Lucat was the marshal, even though he was cowardly and unworthy of the title, he was still the marshal.

Subsequently, starting with the Lightning, other ships of the Rose Fleet received orders to turn around and return. They pulled the reins and began to turn the sails, turning in a semicircular direction to evacuate to the east waters.

The evacuation of the Rose Fleet was extremely swift. After all, their ships were known for their high maneuverability. However, this did not shake the determination of other fleets to move forward. In fact, the neighboring warships of other countries were all confused after seeing the evacuation of the Rose Fleet.

Because they were at sea and there was a certain distance between the fleets to prevent collision, they could only see the flags of "High Danger" and "Evacuate" on the masts of the Rose Fleet warships, but no one knew the reasons for the "High Danger" and "Evacuate".

So they continued to sail forward, and when the Rose Fleet began to turn and sail, they had already sailed forward more than a mile. The Rose Fleet was originally located at the left rear of the fleet group, and with this retreat and advance, the Rose Fleet had already opened up a distance of more than ten miles from Nangang.

Of course, this meant that they were also separated from the other fleets.
