In the end, Richard persuaded Stephanie to let her turn a blind eye to the arrival of Diane and Alfred, and no longer pursue Richard’s behavior when he was outside, but correspondingly, Li Chad was also asked to swear to God that he would never look for a mistress outside, let alone another illegitimate child.

Not only that, but Diane and Alfred Jr. were not allowed to step into the Palace of Ippolito. Richard could only place them in a manor outside the city, as if they had arranged Freya privately. But Richard had other plans. Just as Diane thought, three years of absence made him feel a little guilty towards Diane, so he planned to seal a property under his name to Alfred and let him He became a nobleman on the ground and would be locked in his fief all his life from now on.

As for which piece of land to be sealed to him, Richard has not yet thought about it. The territories in the kingdom are basically divided. The only ones directly under Richard’s control are Kuban Island, Nordling and Urifling. , If you want to seal it, you can only seal the newly conquered area on the Osa Peninsula to him.

However, the younger Alfred is only two years old now, and may not be able to control the two-minded Osa, so Richard can only give him the territory in name, and then send someone to manage the fiefdom affairs for him, and wait for Alfred. When De reaches adulthood, he will go to the fief.

At the same time, while Richard was busy coaxing Stephanie, an unprecedented battle was about to unfold in Port Paisikia in the north.

Sigurd, the commander of the First Fleet, who had been under siege for several months, finally made up his mind to go to war with the enemy fleet after waiting for reinforcements from the three newly arrived legions. After discussing with the commanders of the three armies, they decided to deploy the artillery of each army on the shore or on the wall of the port to cover the fleet that broke through. On the evening before the start of the war, the generals collected A large amount of gunpowder was made into explosive packs, or placed on small fishing boats forcibly conquered from the harbor, and a group of death fighters were selected to make surprise attacks on the enemy under the cover of night.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the deployment of the enemy fleet. The Akanania coalition knows that the land is the land of the Winster army, so they did not land, but used iron cables to fix each ship. Together, they fill up the outer waters of Paisikia Port, like a small fortress floating on the sea.

Because of this, Sigurd came up with such a strategy. Dozens of gunpowder ships hit the enemy ship and caused an explosion. The power should be able to blow up the surrounding battleships and cause a raging fire. If the enemy can be in time It's fine to put out the fire. If it is too late, the warships connected by the chain will be burnt down due to the chain reaction.

If Richard were here, he would have praised Sigurd again and again, and thought of the Battle of Chibi in the Three Kingdoms. The inferior Liu-Sun coalition repelled the so-called Million Heroes of Cao’s boss by fire.

...

That night, perhaps it was the help of the gods. The moon that night was obscured by a layer of dark clouds, and the bright moonlight only left the stars seeping through the gaps in the clouds. The visibility of the entire sea was extremely low, even if it was standing in Paisikia. Looking at the coalition fleet on the city wall of the port, only a faint spot of igniting light can be seen.

In this context, 28 small fishing boats loaded with gunpowder quietly left the port and rowed towards the enemy fleet. There are two or three soldiers on each ship. Their responsibility is to control the ship to collide with the enemy ship and ignite the gunpowder on the ship.

They looked at the increasingly clear outline of the warship on the sea in the distance, and couldn't help but hold their breath subconsciously. They didn't even dare to pant for the atmosphere. As the waves hit the bottom of the ship from time to time, they made slight noises and moved their boat forward. promote. As the ship got closer and closer to the coalition warship, their hearts became more tense.

The patrolling sailors on the deck of the warship did not find the enemy approaching them. They held the burning torch in one hand, and touched the hilt of the saber around their waist with the other. Walking along the fixed patrol route with a smile, and the sailors who were in charge of standing guard and watching the wind did not concentrate on checking the sea, but did their own things.

The peace that has always made them completely relax their vigilance. The Winsters’ idea that they are afraid of their numbers and dare not take the initiative is also deeply rooted in their hearts, and even if it’s not for the Paisikia Port in front of them, they are still always there. Remind them every moment that they are in a state of war, and they will think that it is still a time of peace.

"When will we get back to Patri Dava, I am a little tired of living at sea. There is nothing here, wine, women, nothing but smelly sailors and boring patrols."

On the deck of the Akanania Alliance warship, a sailor holding a torch complained to his companion that he hadn't returned to the ground for a long time, causing his eye sockets to sink, and his whole person looked a little wilted.

"Unless you can let the defenders of Paisikia Port voluntarily surrender, otherwise we can only stay on the boat." The companion replied. When he spoke, others could clearly see his bleeding gums, which were bare. You can also see multiple petechiae and ecchymoses on the skin outside.

"Damn, Hadling, what you are talking about is nonsense." The sailor who spoke first said dissatisfiedly. The sailor he called Hadling shrugged helplessly and said: "I'm telling the truth~ lightnovelpub.net~Emaar, is it possible that I will deceive you and say that I can set off back to Patridawa in a few days?"

"Fuck, you should be tactful at least." Emaar cursed. As soon as his voice fell, he felt a pee coming from his bladder. He didn't care to continue talking with Hadrin. He ran to the ship's side a few steps and stepped on it. On top of a wooden box, untied his trouser pockets, took out his Dragon King and sprayed water underneath.

At this moment, his vision vaguely saw a few dark shadows approaching the warship, and soon he reached a few meters away from the warship he was on. In order to see what these dark shadows were, he couldn't help but squint. With both eyes, stretch the torch downwards at the same time, leaning over to look down seriously-Poseidon is on top, if he supplements more nutrients, he will not suffer from night blindness like ordinary people in this world, so there is no need for it. It took so much effort to check what those black spots were.

By the light of the fire, he finally saw clearly what those dark shadows were. At this sight, he almost screamed out of shock. He saw several small fishing boats docked at the bottom of the battleship. Above, several sailors with their upper bodies were smiling weirdly at him!

"Enemy, enemy attack—"

Emaar's scream cut through the tranquility of the night, and a few seconds later, deafening explosions and glare of fire engulfed several warships!
