Chapter 226 - Naval Battle (2) (2/2)
Dimitri also smiled with my words.
”I am confident that we will win this battle. With you and my men here, we will surely win.” I said with confidence and Dimitri nodded in agreement.
A long silence had engulfed the surrounding areas. The sh.i.p.s were on standby until the general gives his order. All the lights on the sh.i.p.s are turned off to avoid detection from the enemy. Not long the faint sound of waves intensified and we heard splashes of water.
Looking at the distance is difficult because of the fog but with the sounds now we conclude that the enemy's sh.i.p.s are advancing.
I looked at Dimitri and he nodded in understanding. We maintained the right amount of distance so that the enemy won't know that we were there hiding. We were also silent to avoid detection.
After a few more minutes we heard the firing of canons. It was the sign of the battle starting. The defense sh.i.p.s were bait to lure their sh.i.p.s into our formation and make a pincer attack from behind without them even knowing. Now we are just waiting for Generals Vincent's signal to attack.
When I looked up towards the sky I saw Tempest flying in circles above us.
'Leon, there is another fleet that remained at the entrance of the junction.' Tempest said.
'You mean they split their fleet into two?' I asked in surprise.
'Yes, they only let the front sh.i.p.s engage in battle while the rear sh.i.p.s are on standby.' Tempest replied.
'Thank you for the information Tempest.' I said with gratitude. 'I will need you to send a message to the general on the other fleet and fast.'
We expected the enemy's fleet to advance in one go. Because of this we need to revise some of our own plans and fast.
”Dimitri, tell the men in the other sh.i.p.s to standby on my commands.” I ordered. ”There will be a slight change of plans.”
Dimitri knew that I had just communicated with Tempest. He knew that I got information that will have a huge impact in this battle.
”Understood your majesty.” Dimitri bowed his head.
