Chapter 684 - Bloody Sea 1 (1/2)

By the time the army was busy fighting with the monster legion, the Symphonia navy on Gregg Island was busy fighting the Grenada fleet.

The Grenada navy which had built siege units network in the surrounding waters to make sure that the Symphonia navy wouldn’t try anything overnight, and began to search the reef with small boats and ships in the dawn.

Of course, it wasn’t like the Symphonia army had any intention of letting them do their own searches.

If Grenada’s search ships wanted to enter anywhere close to their place, their ships would ambush them with shells.

“Symphonia men, I think they are definitely camped in there.”

“They have submarine cables spread all over the place, and the reefs and rocky islands are being used to block out shells and guns. Somehow, we aren’t moving ahead.”

At the words of Duke Nathan, Fernando frowned.

“What does the great Naval expert think about it?”

Even though he was offended with the voice of mockery in Fernando, Nathan responded without showing any signs of anger.

“Ignore them and then pass by.”

“What? Just pass by?”

As Fernando’s eyes were about to go wide, Nathan hurriedly gave his answer.

“If we ignore them and pass them by, they will think that we are going over to attack the Symphonia coast, and they’ll chase after us.”

“Hmm… I guess you have a plan. Are you trying to lure them into the open sea and then use our full fleet to destroy them?”

Fernando was used to land battle, and he could understand the tactic which was similar to luring in the enemy by standing still.

“But wouldn’t the sly enemies know our intention?”

“We don’t need to worry too much about it. They’ll be too concerned with us sweeping off their shores, so they’ll definitely follow us. And we will be able to do our operation.”

“And any bait?”

“We will put our transport fleet in the rear.”

The transport fleet was the slowest in the fleet.

In addition, there weren’t many guns in the transport fleet and were vulnerable in naval battles.

However, it was necessary to manage them with care as they would carry all the supplies and food.

So even when the fleet moved, the transport fleet moved at its own speed and had enough value around it.

Duke Nathan was willing to ignore the principles in order to lure the enemies from the Gregg Islands.

“Probably, it is clear that they know that destroying the transport ship of the enemy would be a great deal, so they will chase after us.”

“Indeed! You want to give flesh and take back their bones?”

“Yes, because the enemy would be too involved with taking down out transport fleet, the main unit would detour to the south and hit the rear of the enemy. I believe that Your Majesty knows what will happen afterwards.”

Seeing the plausible plan, Fernando asked them to get into action.

The Grenada fleet reversed and began to move towards the coast of the Symphonia Kingdom in unison.

After moving to some extent, the main unit consisting of fast-paced battleships separated from the transport fleet and diverted to the south.

After a while, Fernando grunted his teeth when he heard the report that the enemy fleet moved from Gregg Island.

“They are crawling out huh? Those bloody rats!”

He wanted to catch everyone and feed them to the sharks.

But in the midst of the rush, an unexpected report blew in. Duke Nathan, jumped out and yelled.

“Your Majesty! We are in trouble!”

“What is it? Did the enemy notice our plans and go back to the island?”

“No, that isn’t it…”

Nathan took a deep breath and explained it in detail.
