Chapter 734 (1/2)

Five days later.

Captain Gordon, the emissary sent by King Durbin of the East Sea Kingdom, traveled more than 600 kilometers by land, water and sea, and finally arrived at the flagship of the East China Sea fleet.

Even the most important appearance in the past, he had no time to take care of it. Captain Gordon asked captain * * Moore for the first time, told him about the plight of the East China Sea fleet, and conveyed the latest order of King Durbin.

From the beginning to the end, the face of * * murma was drooping, and he could not see any sadness or joy. He was always silent.

”Captain of the fleet, please summon your troops as soon as possible to rescue the Donau river. If you delay for one more minute, your majesty will be more dangerous.” Captain Gordon saw that * * Moore did not move for a long time, and he couldn't help urging him to say, ”can't the captain believe what I said? I can bet on my life and reputation. What I said is true and there is no exaggeration, especially the skill artillery. ”

”I don't have any doubts about the message from captain Gordon.” **Captain Moore woke up from a dream and took a long breath.

”Er...” Captain Gordon was a little surprised.

Before leaving, they all agreed that it was the most difficult thing for the commander of the fleet * * Moore to believe that the East China Sea Fleet was blocked by the fleet led by the Yongye army.

**Captain Moore seemed to see the question in captain Gordon's mind, and took the initiative to answer: ”I have seen with my own eyes the power of the magic artillery. They blocked our inland ships on the river, and they also carried them. So far, we have lost more than 300 warships of various types.”

”More than 300 ships were damaged in the war?” Captain Gordon took a breath of air.

However, I think of the cunning of the Yongye army leader, the strength of the infantry array, and the sharpness of the technique and artillery.

**It seems not too surprising that Captain Moore had such a loss without his knowledge.

After all, compared with the East China Sea fleet, the sub fleet led by * * Moore had to go deep into the interior of the Danao plain to plunder the area, which was more likely to cause war damage.

”I'm sorry, it's my fault.” Seeing a trace of displeasure flashed on the captain's face, Captain Gordon quickly apologized, ”this defeat is not the captain's command error, but the enemy we are facing this time is too cunning. Thanks to the captain's presence here, the loss may be even greater if it is replaced by others. I believe your majesty will understand this point.”

”Hum!” **Captain Moore snorted, his face unchanged.

Captain Gordon was wise not to entangle himself in this topic, because the battle damage was on the table here, and this matter could not be a merit. ”Since the captain of the fleet believed the news I brought, let's call the fleet and go to rescue your majesty.”

**After a few seconds of silence, Moore said, ”it's not that you don't want to, but you can't.”

”What does the captain mean by that Captain Gordon's face was startled.

”It is not only your majesty who fell into the trap of the commander of the eternal night army, but also the sub fleet.” **Moore's face could not help but float a trace of sadness, ”the enemy's army is too strong, our infantry is not the opponent at all, so we chose to use our best pirate tactics at the beginning, large-scale division, and launch attacks from five river basin at multiple points.

Where do you know, this hit the other side's heart. At first, they were only garrisoned in the major cities and towns. A week ago, the other side began to attack all our landing troops on the plain. The two sides fell into a state of adhesive scuffle, which would be difficult to withdraw for a while.

If we simply withdraw the fleet, we have to wait until we give up the 30000 sailors who have landed on the shore. This responsibility is not for you and me

”How could that happen?” Captain Gordon's eyes were straight and muttered to himself, but the situation was completely beyond his expectation.

As captain * * Moore said, the life and death of 30000 sailors is not what they can bear.

In a hurry, Captain Gordon put forward a somewhat whimsical opinion, ”since the landing sailors will not be able to withdraw for a while, why not concentrate and divide the fleet to rescue your majesty, join the main fleet led by your majesty, and then come back to pick them up.”

”It's not realistic.” **Moore did not hesitate to shake his head and said, ”the sub fleet is too scattered now. It will take half a week just to deliver the assembly order, let alone go to rescue your majesty. Once and for all, it will take two weeks at the fastest. Do you think that the 30000 soldiers can persist for half a month without fleet support?”

”No Captain Gordon shook his head, not to mention half a month. Once they knew that the sub fleet was withdrawing, they would surrender to the Yongye leader for fear that they could not hold on for a week.

”Can't you do anything about it?” ”Don't give up,” Captain Gordon asked.

”I will try my best to pull them back, but it will take at least a week or more to gather the troops together. In addition, it will take at least two weeks, or even longer, for your Majesty's side to persist for such a long time?” **Asked captain Moore.

”It's hard to say.” Captain Gordon's face became very ugly. ”Even if your majesty can hold on, the landing troops led by Captain Lena will not be able to hold on. Even if the grain supplies they bring on shore are reduced by half, they will not last for half a month.””There's nothing I can do about it.” **The captain of the Moor's warship said helplessly, ”it's better to hope for the garrison fleet led by his highness Leighton than to place my hope on the fleet led by me. Didn't you just say that your majesty has sent his Highness for help? If your highness moves fast enough, it will only take a week to rescue your highness. ”

By the time he heard this, Captain Gordon's face had turned purple and his anger almost burst out.

As an important official of Donghai, how can he say such irresponsible words?

This is a total shift of responsibility to his highness Leighton.

, when the rescue was not timely, the responsibility was not in him, but the prince of Leiden stationed behind the rear was suck.

But Captain Gordon is a little bit self-conscious that he is only a messenger of King Durbin, not his majesty.

And * * Moore is one of the few real powers in the East China Sea. In many cases, even King Durbin himself dared to contradict him.

At ordinary times, he did not even look at himself with a straight eye. He thought that he was a jester who had won the favor of King Durbin by his eloquence.
