The reinforcements have set sail, and the remaining troops on land have responded in time. The coastal defense line formed by the three seaports has all entered an emergency state.

Bernhardt did not sail with the fleet. He became the temporary commander-in-chief of the coastal defense line. All the celebrations that were being prepared had been cancelled and all locations had entered a state of combat readiness. At the same time, Bernhardt sent a messenger to quickly deliver known military reports to the holy city of Salivia.

With the rapid delivery day and night, urgent military reports would take at least twelve days to reach Seville.

Prior to this, Bernhardt had temporarily characterized the military action initiated by Yan State as an aggressive war.

"This is definitely a war of aggression. The Yan people chose this time to launch the invasion. Damn these guys!"

In the command room, Bernhardt spoke to the remaining officers.

Everyone nodded in agreement. One person said angrily, "They have stretched their hands too far. They even dare to dream of invading our country!"

"No one has dared to invade us yet. These ambitious Yan people need to be taught a lesson!"

Bernhardt looked solemn, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Before the military report is sent to Salivia, we must make the best preparations for the anti-invasion."

"The nearest troops need to be transferred here immediately to prevent the situation from getting worse."

"And each port needs to be heavily guarded. Although I hope that the fleet can kill the Yan people there after arriving at the Star Islands, we still have to make emergency plans. The Yan people must have made sufficient preparations for this invasion, and they are very likely to have follow-up troops to reinforce them."

After these words were spoken, the officers' faces became more solemn, but there was nothing they could do now. They could only hope that the fleet that had already set out could successfully reach the Star Islands.

Time soon came to night, and the moon, which was getting rounder and fuller, hung in the night sky. The pale moonlight fell on the deep sea like frost, and the sea was surging with waves higher than the other.

Beneath the water, undercurrents are surging, and swirling eddies are surging under the strait passes. The reason why this famous Brando Strait has become a natural barrier for the Delta Federation is that, in addition to the turbulent water in the passes, there are also towering cliffs on both sides. The widest part of the strait is 160 kilometers, while the narrowest part is less than 15 kilometers.

Based on this, it became the maritime transportation throat of the Delta Federation.

Today, warships are constantly patrolling back and forth in this traffic bottleneck. They are the warships left behind by Matthias when he returned. In the current emergency, they act as patrol ships.

As the moon rose higher and the night grew darker, the Golts on the warship thought that this night would pass just like any other.

But at some point after midnight, lights gradually appeared outside the strait.

"What is that?" On a warship, the captain held a telescope with a frown on his face.

As the lights grew brighter and the outline of the huge fleet became clearer, his whole body froze and the telescope fell from his hand with a bang.

"The Yan country's fleet!!!"

An urgent shout suddenly burst out from his throat, and along with this shout, an alarm sounded on the warship.

Without any hesitation, they immediately began to turn and sail towards the port of Brulo.

The reason for being so decisive is that the number of enemy fleets that appeared in the field of vision was terrifying, several times that of their own. Any hesitation at this time would be a disrespect for life.

The urgent situation shocked everyone. You know, it was less than four days since the Yan people attacked the Qunxing Islands, but now they have appeared outside the strait in a menacing manner, and the army that went to the port for help has not arrived yet.

Without the obstruction of our own fleet, there is no way we can stop the enemy in the pass.

If reinforcements were on the way, wouldn't a battle take place in the strait? However, the enemy's warships had already demonstrated their extraordinary combat power when they attacked the Star Islands. So with the current combat power of our fleet, could we win in the strait?

The soldiers were all shrouded in a gloom when they thought of this, but the most important thing at the moment was to immediately get rid of the enemy ship.

-

In the strait, the federal fleet that set out from Bruber Harbor has been sailing for a day and a night, and it is already sailing at full speed with full sails. Even so, it will take at least another day to reach the mouth of the strait.

Now, although it was midnight, the huge number of warships illuminated the sea brightly. In the command room, Chick had not yet gone to bed.

He had been in a low mood since the night he set sail. What he was most worried about was that the enemy had already occupied the Star Islands. If they had already fallen, the enemy would surely stay on the islands. Even if his reinforcements arrived, they would probably have to engage in a tug-of-war with them over the islands.

This was definitely not what Chick wanted to see. Any battle from the sea to the land would be extremely difficult. Whether it was Yan Country's landing operation on the island or the landing operation that their side might have to do next, it would be accompanied by huge casualties.

General Bernhardt obviously took this into consideration, so he sent several army troops on board the warship to provide support.

Thinking about the large number of troops on board the ship, Chick gained more confidence in the upcoming battle, and his heavy mood was relieved.

"Sir, it's getting late."

"We are still in the strait and there won't be any unexpected situations. You can go back to the cabin and rest without worry." At this time, the adjutant Carlos spoke up.

Chick twisted his stiff neck:

"Ah."

"After we leave the strait, we must be ready for battle at any time. The worst case scenario is that the Star Archipelago has fallen, and then the sea will be full of dangers."

"We could be in combat at any moment."

The adjutant nodded, and then said in a slightly relaxed tone: "But at least we don't have to be too nervous now."

"You have to keep your spirits up."

Chick rubbed his temples, slowly sat up from his chair, and continued:

"That makes sense."

"We can only get through these two days in peace. The next battle will definitely take a long time."

"Even if we repel this wave of attacks from Yan Nation, they probably won't stop the invasion."

At this point, he picked up his military coat hanging on the back of the chair and started to complain:

"I didn't have the chance to attend the celebration, my vacation plan was ruined, and I was lectured by General Bernhardt in front of a lot of people. Did he think I didn't know what war was?"

"Speaking of which, these Yan people really know how to pick the time to attack us at this time..."

"The calculation is clear and obvious. Has it been planned for several months?" He shook his head helplessly.

The adjutant knew that Chick really wanted to go to the capital to attend the ceremony, but the spot to go to the ceremony fell to Gustav, the commander of the Black Powder Fleet. Chick had been a little depressed about this, but who could blame Gustav for being a close associate of the emperor?

For this, the adjutant did not respond to his words but just shrugged.

"Keep an eye on it at night, and notify me in time if there is any emergency." Chick yawned, put on his coat and slowly walked out of the command room.

As soon as he left the command room, he couldn't help but shiver.

"It's so cold..." He shrank his neck and pulled his coat tighter around him.
