Chapter 684: Pursuit at Sea
Four days later, in the evening.
The sea was rough and the wind was blowing hard under the setting sun.
On the Lightning, the flagship of the Rose Fleet, which was sailing at full speed.
"Marshal, the wind direction has finally changed. We can increase our speed to the maximum." On the stern deck, Leto said excitedly to Lucat who was looking at the sea in the distance.
Lucat nodded, but he did not feel relieved after hearing the good news. His face was still extremely solemn. His hair was greasy and stuck to his forehead, his beard was unkempt, and he looked extremely tired, as if he had aged ten years in the past few days.
Seeing that Lucat remained silent, Leto consoled him:
"Marshal, don't worry too much."
"The battle between the Yan people and them will definitely continue for some time. We are completely out of danger now."
Lucat shook his head and murmured, "I'm not worried about that."
Hearing this, Leto's face darkened and he sighed, "You are worried about how to report to the emperor after returning home..."
Lucat rubbed his face and said in a low voice, "Yes."
"Although our evacuation will prevent us from falling into a dangerous situation, it will be very troublesome when we return home."
"No matter what the final outcome of that battle was, we have violated the covenant."
"After the South China Sea Campaign, that bitch Isabella used our evacuation as an excuse to put pressure on us. This time we evacuated without permission. Once she gets the news, she will definitely make trouble for it."
"Damn it!" At this point, Lucat's face suddenly turned cold, he clenched his fist and punched the railing.
Laito sighed.
Lukat frowned and continued, "But in that situation, only evacuation can save us."
"Although the Yan country's fleet does not have many warships, those warships... must have hidden killer moves, otherwise the federal fleet would not have been completely wiped out."
"The Federation warship was destroyed near the coral island. They had nowhere else to go, so they chose to rush to the coral island for refuge. You can imagine how much fear the Yan countrymen's warship brought to them."
"And the battle between the Sari fleet and the Yan people is likely to end in a disastrous defeat."
"This battle is too risky and we should not have participated in it in the first place."
After he finished speaking, Laito shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do about it."
Lucat stared at him and said seriously: "The emperor has not figured out the position of Yan Kingdom, so he decided to launch an expedition against them under Isabella's instigation, but this is definitely a wrong decision."
"The Yan people are not the natives of the Feni continent. They have a large and well-established country, and have been developing very rapidly in recent times, even beyond our understanding."
"If the Delta Federation on the Satosno continent has developed rapidly in recent years and its military strength has become increasingly strong, then the Yan Kingdom is also the same, and in my opinion, it is very likely to be superior to them."
"This means that Yan Country is not suitable to be a colony. If we want to conquer it by force, we will have to pay a huge price for it, and we may even suffer backlash."
Hearing this, Laito's expression gradually became serious.
Lucart continued, "The last time we went to Yan Country, they were only in the near sea, but this time they have gone so far away from their homeland and come to the open sea where they have never been before. So next time they may even come to our Leon Continent."
"Then our military action is not about opening up a new continent, but about confronting a powerful country. This is a contest!"
"But a contest of this magnitude should be left to the Sari country, not our country."
At this point, Lucat patted Laito on the shoulder and said in a deep voice:
"Leto, when we return home, no matter how the emperor wants to punish me, I hope you and others can support me. This is not to absolve me of my guilt, but I hope you can work with me to convince the emperor and let him clearly understand the serious consequences of the expedition to Yanguo!"
"If Yan's national strength reaches the same level as Sari's, it will be a disaster for our country."
"Opening up new lands is certainly beneficial to the country, but it is also a double-edged sword. We cannot make irreparable misjudgments at this critical moment."
Seeing Lucat speak so seriously, Leto stood up straight and agreed seriously: "Yes! Marshal!"
Lukat nodded, looked at the sea behind him, and continued:
"The wind is favorable now, so we should reach Charme Island in three days."
"The Delta Federation still has a fleet left there..." He hesitated.
"Want to go over there?" Leto asked.
After thinking for a while, Lucat shook his head.
"The last time I went to Yan Country, that guy Feng Palen sent out a huge fleet that I didn't expect. And this time... their fleet commander didn't take the 'united front' seriously and went after the Yan Country fleet on his own. It's obvious that it's not worth it to establish cooperation with the Delta Federation. Any so-called alliance does not exist in the face of their ambitions."
"Feng Palen wants to occupy as much Yan Kingdom territory as possible. Even with the Sari Kingdom around, they probably won't give in. Let them go and leave them alone."
"If they hadn't discovered Yan Country, they might have launched a war against Feni Continent or directly against the countries on our Leon Continent."
"The situation is very unclear... At times like this, we should develop steadily at home... Alas." Lucat said with a heavy sigh.
Leto shook his head and said, "Alright Marshal."
"Don't think too much. Since we're not going to Charme Island, let's just go back home. There's no need to go to the Roman Islands, right?"
Lucat said "hmm".
"Sail at full speed and return home directly!" he said in a deep voice.
-
into the night.
Lucat, who had returned to the cabin to rest, was awakened from his sleep.
"Marshal! Wake up, we found lights coming from behind!"
Laito shouted at Lucat, who was still in a daze, with a panicked look on his face.
Two breaths later, Lukat finally reacted. He threw back the quilt, and without even bothering to put on his shoes, he hurried to the deck, asking in a hurry:
“A lot?!”
"It's still far away and I can't see it clearly, but it must be the light from the sailing warship!" Leto was sweating profusely.
"Damn it! Could it be the Yan Kingdom fleet? But this shouldn't be possible!" Lucat cursed, and after a moment he arrived on the deck. He hurriedly ran to the highest point and looked behind.
As Leto said, in the endless darkness, a faint light appeared in the vast ocean.
The dim spots of light looked like stars falling from the sky. The moment Lucat saw them, his whole body stiffened and his face turned completely pale.
“They are coming…”
