    Battle of Miliones (2)

    The legionnaires aboard the battleship suffered some damage after falling into the trap set by Fiona, but the Balkan marines trained by Count Leverkin did not have it easy.

    “Pour sea water to prevent the fire from spreading!! For ships that have completed this task, release the hooks and increase the distance!”

    Thanks to the excellent command of veteran captains who had sailed the seas with Count Leverkin’s ancestors and his family, the Balkan ships that escaped the crisis began to reorganize their battle lines.

    Then, the battle lines became tangled and the ghost ships and the battleships got out, the Balkan Empire battleships regained their vitality, and they slowly began to counterattack the Leon Kingdom navy that had trapped them.

    “Move calmly!! Archers, give up precise aiming and fire arrows as quickly as possible to keep enemy ships in check!!”

    “Evacuate the wounded soldiers below the cabin! Marines, raise the sails and speed up!! Fighters, row as fast as you can! We must stick to the enemy ship!!”

    Before we knew it, Count Leverkin was back on the mast with Teach, assessing the situation with his own eyes and giving appropriate orders.

    When the battle first began, Viscount Leverkin, who was in danger of having his head almost blown off by the enemy master’s sword, was advised by Teach to take refuge in a safe cabin, but thanks to Eliza, who sensed the wave of sword energy and ran towards him, he was able to continue his command bravely.

    Count Leverkin expressed his gratitude to Eliza because she had just blocked a ray of sword energy aimed at him.

    “Thank you. Empress Mama. Thanks to you, I think I can conduct with ease”

    “Don’t worry. As I said before, His Majesty sent me to take on this role. So, the commander-in-chief only needs to think about how to deal with the enemy”

    “I will definitely destroy the enemy and repay your majesty and mama’s expectations!”

    Count Leverkin, who gave a light military salute, concentrated on his command again, and the Balkan Empire battleships began to move faster and faster to collide with the Leon Kingdom battleships, gradually increasing their momentum by putting pressure on the Leon Kingdom navy.

    Unlike the Balkan Empire’s battleships, which consisted of several five-stage battleships chained together, the battleships of the Kingdom of Leon, which were composed of single ships, displayed light and agile movements to keep the Balkan Navy in check, but the Balkan battleships continued to move with heavy movements like the heavy infantry on board. Pressure continued.

    And Leon’s battleship, which was allowed to approach, entered the drawbridge at the stern of Corvus, showing the majesty of fully armed heavy infantry taking over Leon’s battleship in an instant.

    Meanwhile, at the Leon Kingdom army camp, Princess Fiona and Count Gisco were standing at the bow, watching the battle unfold.

    “Hoo~ It’s a lot better than I thought. That drawbridge plays a bigger role than I thought? If you’re thinking of deploying army heavy infantry like that, Vulcan is pretty good too. I never imagined that those gophers would fight so well even after being caught in a trap”

    Fiona also smiled leisurely as she looked at Count Gisco, who was expressing admiration for the movements of the Balkan Empire’s navy even while several of his battleships were being destroyed.

    “Hehehe, didn’t you know that you would escape that trap anyway? By the way, I never thought that my sister was here?”

    “If it’s your younger sister… Are you really talking about Princess Eliza? No… isn’t she the current Empress of the Balkans? No matter how much of a master he is, how can he be on the battlefield… ”

    Count Gisco tilted his head as if he did not understand that a noble empress had appeared on the battlefield, and Fiona laughed lightly.

    “Hehe, sure… If you are taken prisoner, you will lose the war, so you won’t understand. But I think I can understand Eliza’s feelings. It would be a shame to waste the skills that made him a master, and he would also have the desire to take over the country that abandoned him”

    “Hmm… I’m sure… Princess Eliza is no different in a situation where the princess herself has jumped into the front line. Still, it’s not like there aren’t other masters, but if I were the emperor, I would never have allowed it”

    ‘Well… then he would have secretly escaped from the imperial palace and headed to the battlefield? Eliza would most likely want to take revenge on her father who sold her.’

    Thinking about her younger sister’s ability to easily block the sword energy she had thrown at her, Fiona remembered her younger sister’s face crying loudly, clinging to her before leaving for Balkan.

    ‘She was so cute back then… Eliza, who I saw at Rachel’s wedding, has grown up wonderfully. Hehehe. Then, how much more has he grown now? There are limits to testing with a sword, so I guess I should try hitting him with this sword myself, right?’

    Fiona looked at Eliza in the distance while fiddling with the sword hanging on her waist, then turned her body back as if checking something.

    “It’s time. Raise a retreat signal for the entire fleet!”

    “Yes! The entire fleet retreat!! Retreat out of the Miliones Strait!!”

    When Fiona’s order was given, Count Gisco gave a signal to retreat to the entire fleet of the Kingdom of Leon, which was engaged in a fierce battle.

    Puuu~ Puuu~

    With a loud trumpet sound, the battleships of the Kingdom of Leon began to retreat at a rapid pace, and the Corvus of Balkan, who were rushing to engage in close combat, increased their momentum and began to pursue them.

    “The entire fleet! Unfold your sails to their fullest!! Ride the wind, chase the enemy ships, and take over the Leon guys’ base!!”

    Naturally, Count Leverkin gave orders to chase the enemy and occupy the Leon naval port, but when Teach, his adjutant, tried to dissuade him, he frowned.

    “Your Excellency! Why not stop the chase for a moment and completely reorganize the line here? I don’t feel good when the enemy retreats without fighting properly”

    “What do you mean? Isn’t it obvious that the enemy is retreating? I guess that’s because they realized that the trap they had prepared with great effort wasn’t working and that they had no chance of winning if they started an all-out war with us. Or is there some other reason?”

    “Oh, no… it’s not like that…”

    “Then don’t talk nonsense. I understand that you are anxious as you have never fought such a large battle before, but should you miss this golden opportunity to capture the base and render Leon’s navy useless? Still, if that’s the case, I can conduct alone, so you can take a break in my room”

    When Teach could not give a specific reason, Count Leverkin pushed him into the captain’s cabin, climbed back up to the mast, and led the fleet in pursuit of the Leon navy.

    “All ships! Follow Hyperion!! This ship will take the lead!”

    Flap! Flap!!

    Count Leverkin personally waved the command flag and led his flagship to the lead.

    Naturally, when the flagship carrying the commander-in-chief and the empress took the lead, the Balkan navy was confident of victory, and their morale increased even more, and they were demonstrating the maximum speed that Corvus could achieve.

    Meanwhile, Teach was sitting in the captain’s cabin, deep in thought.

    ‘Something makes me uneasy… We certainly did a great job breaking through the trap they had carefully prepared. However, in reality, the number of enemy battleships destroyed was less than a dozen at most. It’s not a ship with chains like ours, so it’s safe to say there’s little actual damage. But showing the tail like that? Those Leon Navy guys?’

    As Teach was harassed by the Leon Kingdom Navy as much as the Snelleda Navy led by former Viscount Leverkin during piracy, he knew that the Leon Navy was not one to give up so easily.

    ‘But… as your Excellency said, it is too precious an opportunity to give up. If we gain the naval base on Polygal Island through this battle, we will be able to point a dagger at the tip of Lioness’ chin.’

    Count Leverkin had a point, but Teach eventually gave up on persuading his superiors because he could not provide solid grounds for revoking his order.

    “Still… I have to prepare for an emergency, so I guess I should do this, right?”

    Teach sent a magic message to somewhere through the crystal ball in the captain’s room, then went out, joined Count Leverkin again, and raised the command flag high in the sky.

    “Teach! You’re back! Hahaha, it’s you too. Let’s quickly kill those seals and go to Ace Changgwan and have some fun! If you make a great contribution, I will give you a special hug this time, my wife Yurina”

    Count Leverkin was also delighted that his subordinate had returned and promised a special reward.

    Even though Teach was still feeling anxious even after seeing his superior like that, he couldn’t break the mood right now, so he forced a smile to lighten the mood and looked around as closely as possible to prepare for any emergency.
