The lighthouse has not yet been constructed to illuminate the surrounding sea with arcane light.

Admiral Berryman temporarily regarded this very conspicuous landmark as the best place to issue orders, and he could see the flag officer waving the command flag on the top of the lighthouse from a long distance away.

After receiving the order, the offshore fleet, which had not had time to change its name, immediately changed its direction, hoisted its full sails, and headed straight towards the sea area between the two countries at full speed.

In the privateering operation not long ago, Lordaeron's East Sea Fleet suffered heavy losses. The few remaining warships are still being repaired in the dry dock at the northern port of Tirisfal Forest, and there are only two or three kittens left.

Captain Barry Weswin, who had just returned to the headquarters of the East China Sea Fleet, was bitter in his mouth. He really didn't know what to do with just three medium-sized warships performing deterrence missions.

Lordaeron's intelligence department is not just for nothing, they have already inquired about the transaction between Quel'Thalas and Kul Tiras.

Having just won the naval battle, Kul Tiras made an unexpected decision to sell half of the secondary warships that had just left the factory to Quel'Thalas in three batches.

The rapid conclusion of this agreement greatly exceeded the expectations of the Lordaeron civil servants, and also disrupted their original plan.

Before the privateering incident, the sea power of Lordaeron and the East Sea of ​​Quel'Thalas was completely out of proportion, and Lordaeron had the absolute upper hand.

Terenas thought he was smart enough to steal chickens, but the existence of the Red Dragon Knights made Lordaeron no longer dare to make troubles at sea.

Once entangled by the group of large lizards, unless there is an air force escort, it is impossible for the isolated ship at sea to please.

The civil service group headed by the prime minister suggested that before the East China Sea Fleet has enough ships and air force to replenish, stop provoking the high elves who bought battleships from Kul Tiras.

If Terenas was sitting on the throne, even if he was reluctant in his heart, he would choose to endure it.

Unfortunately, Terenas suffered a relapse due to his rage, and he is still bedridden. He handed over the task of supervising the country to Crown Prince Alsace.

In very standard fashion, the crown prince staged a play called "Youth and Youth" for Lordaeron's ministers.

Regardless of the objections of the ministers, Alsace ordered Barry Weswin to lead the three remaining medium-sized warships of the East China Sea Fleet to put pressure on Quel'Thalas.

This inexplicable order made the old prime minister almost lose his temper on the spot.

It was only on the front foot that he suggested that Alsace and Quel'Thalas ease the relationship. Alsace agreed to it face to face, but the back foot ignored his old-fashioned advice.

The anxious old prime minister really wanted to grab Terenas' neck and ask: "What the **** have you taught in the past ten years? How did you teach such a strange thing that doesn't listen to good advice?"

There is no way, the arms cannot hold back the thighs.

Lordaeron's kingship is very stable, and the prime minister is the head of civil servants in name, but he can't influence the king's decision.

Don't mistake the prince of the prison country for the king. Before Terenas recovered his body and returned to power, Alsace was the undisputed monarch of this country.

In fact, logically speaking, Guochang should not have given such great authority to the young prince who supervised the country.

Unfortunately, Terenas fell ill very suddenly, and failed to explain the subsequent arrangements clearly.

After being rescued by the royal physician, Terenas, who was seriously ill, was not so clear-headed, and kept muttering about calling Alsace back to supervise the country, but he did not specify who was the relationship between the supervising prince and the assistant minister. Mainly.

That being the case, we can only follow the practice of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, putting monarchy first.

Lordaeron's ministers were very dissatisfied with Alsace's stupid move, but they had no right to object, and could only watch Alsace's order sent to the headquarters of the East China Sea Fleet.

Barry Weswin had just suffered a defeat, and was about to hide his strength and bide his time for a few years, but he didn't expect the old man to leave, and the boy to come.

Before sailing, Weiswen complained bitterly to Alfred Abedis who came to see him off.

"Who did I provoke? Even if you pull the wool, you can't always catch one, right?"

With the military order in hand, Weiswen could only go out no matter how unwilling he was, and put pressure on Quel'Thalas according to the wishes of the supervising prince.

Needless to say, the effect is pretty good.

The high elf workers who were building the port in full swing became panicked, and the construction progress stalled for a while.

It wasn't until Admiral Berriman led the fleet to arrive that the port's project had a little look, but only a little bit, and the efficiency was far less than before it was deterred.

Weswen and Berryman had already fought once before, and they both knew that the other party was not easy to mess with. Before receiving further orders from above, the two sides tacitly maintained a confrontation, neither attacking nor retreating.

This kind of tacit understanding was maintained until the arrival of Sarlayan, who was also "young and vigorous" Sarlayan did a live-fire drill without saying a word.

Seeing the five cruiser-level galleons sailing at full speed in an oblique single-column formation, Weiswen suddenly had a "thump" in his heart, and instinctively had a bad premonition.

Weiswen's adjutant asked in a panic: "Colonel! They don't want to take the initiative to attack, do they?"

Weiswen took a deep breath, and said with a sullen face, "Why panic! You are a high-ranking officer, do you want to spread panic to the sailors below?"

Staring at the high elf fleet that gradually slowed down and turned to expose the muzzle, Weiswen comforted him pretending to be calm: "Don't worry, they don't dare."

"The East China Sea Fleet is really miserable right now, but our fleet is not the only one in Lordaeron."

"These five warships alone can only ignore their heads. Once a fight really breaks out, the North Sea Fleet stationed in the mainland can go straight to the east and even bombard Silvermoon City. I don't think Quel'Thalas will do that." Such a stupid decision."

As Weiswen said, although Sharlayan would like to completely eat Lordaeron's East Sea Fleet and open up the sea route to the south, it is not the time yet.

Under the nervous gaze of Weswin and others who dare not blink their eyes, Admiral Berriman steered the rudder himself and steered the ship to aim the muzzle at the empty sea.

"The live ammunition exercise has begun! The first test shot is ready...fire!"

"boom!"

…

The magic gun modified by the National Defense Research Institute is not inferior to the gunpowder weapon of the same level, but the movement caused by it is not as loud as when the gunpowder explodes.

The first cannonball rotated and flew out of the rifled bore, and Weiswin saw the shape of the cannonball with sharp eyes.

"Fusiform? How could it be fusiform?"

Since it was just a drill, the gunners did not activate the arcane explosion sequence inside the hollow cannonball, allowing the fusiform cannonball to drill into the sea surface.

As an old navy, the muzzle velocity of this shell made Weswen's heart shudder.

"So fast! What is the principle of this?"

Lailas also raised the same question to Sharlayan.

Sarlayan explained with a smile: "Actually, it's not so mysterious. It's nothing more than streamlined, lightweight shells, and the rotational acceleration of the rifling."

"The solid shells used to be heavy and heavy. They didn't fly fast and had a short range. They could only hit people with their own mass and kinetic energy. They were too primitive."

Sarlayan pointed to the small splashes on the sea and said meaningfully: "Because it's a drill, the gunners kept a hand."

"Only when the real battle comes, can you feel the true power of the new magic cannon~www.readwn.com~ It will definitely give the people of Lordaeron a big 'surprise'."

Lilas raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean, we will have a battle with Lordaeron sooner or later?"

Sharlayan nodded with a serious expression: "Since the alliance fell apart, Terenas...or the whole of Lordaeron has regarded us Quel'Thalas as a thorn in the side."

"Although the matter of the privateering fleet was decided by Terenas, the anti-high elf sentiment in Lordaeron is so high that Terenas can't create it alone."

"Lordaeron believes that Quel'Thalas has hindered their dream of unifying the seven kingdoms of mankind. The successive frictions have made the two countries full of anger at each other from top to bottom."

"The kind-hearted His Majesty Kael'thas intends to resolve the enmity and does not want to provoke a war, but... we have nothing to say about this matter."

"Because of Terenas' sudden illness, Lordaeron's attempt to annex Stormgard will most likely fail. Who do you think they will blame for this?"

Lailas said with a displeased face: "What does this have to do with us? We didn't make Terenas sick."

"Hehe~"

Sharlayan and old fritter Lor'themar looked at each other, Lor'themar showed a slightly ferocious smile, and patted Lylas' shoulder heavily.

"There is no pure right or wrong in the relationship between countries. It is nothing more than a competition for interests. Lordaeron thinks that we are blocking their way. This reason is enough."
