Episode 86
##086
Fortunately, the navy of the Ibel Kingdom moved.
You’ll probably think you’ve stepped on poop.
Like the Shinsenrom Empire, the Ibel Kingdom was ruled by the Habs family.
And the two nations made themselves defenders of the Church.
‘It’s more passive than I thought.’
The maritime hegemony of the previous era in the story was the kingdom of Ybel.
However, due to the defeat in the war with the Ingleson Kingdom, the forces were greatly reduced.
He did not want to fight a battle against the Oth Empire, where there was no benefit and only loss of ships.
‘This is enough. hehehe.’
They were in formation and moved slowly, undisturbed, as if pressing.
It seemed that they were expecting the Oth Empire’s navy to withdraw.
That’s why the Ibel Kingdom’s fleet focused on artillery fire, so it was important to keep the distance.
“what. Why are you going that way?!”
King Pelli Habs of the Ibel Kingdom, who was nervously advancing the fleet, was frightened when he saw the direction of the Going Missha.
This is because the Going Misha, which was advancing toward the center of the enemy line, moved to the rear of the enemy.
What’s even more absurd is… … .
Beep! pop!! pop!! pop!! pop!!
They started firing at each other.
From the king’s point of view, it was crazy and insane.
“crazy. Is the author really crazy?! How did someone like that survive and become an honorary paladin? That is bravery, not bravery.”
The flag on the ship was unmistakably genuine.
When those who deal with mana, aura, and holy power focus their power on their eyes, they can read the aura.
The flag contained the energy of the sun god.
It must be invigorated by a bishop-level priest for maintenance once a year.
‘The spirit is strong. It was issued directly by the Holy See.’
That means it hasn’t been long since the flag was issued.
“no way!! Is it a trap?”
King Pelli felt dizzy for a moment.
They wondered if they had been looking for the honorary paladin’s flag to lure them in.
“Would you like to do that? Three ships were sacrificed. Since they are pirates, there will be many who desert after doing such reckless things.”
“but. Those guys are the Navy. Because you are a pirate.”
To be exact, it would be somewhere between the navy and the pirates.
“majesty. Rather than that, shouldn’t we have to help out at least once in a formation?!”
“It is reckless. If you drop it in small numbers, it will break through.”
Obviously, the power of the kingdom of Ybel was stronger.
However, there is an essential condition attached to this, which is that formation must be maintained.
That means we need to stick together.
The reason was simple.
Opponents are galleys with fast instantaneous speed.
The number of crew members is also more than doubled.
At the moment of oops, hand-to-hand combat will take place. The moment you can’t fire, hand-to-hand combat will spread to all fleets.

Just a while ago, he acted like he was about to crash… … .
The Going Misha roamed around the Oth Empire’s fleet like a nasty hyena.
“What are they doing?!”
Nunahel, admiral of the Oth Empire, burst into anger.
“right now!! those guys… … !”
“Admiral. Be patient. It takes reverse action!”
The Oth Empire was slowly retreating in line with the formation of the Ibel Kingdom.
If you break through head-on, a volley will destroy many ships.
It is the position of the Os Empire that they should seize the opportunity, break through, and then engage in hand-to-hand combat.
however. Going Misshaho is constantly playing with it from the side.
Of course, there is bound to be heat.
pop! pop! pop!
Intermittent and continuous shooting continued.
Right on Galvepo Street.
“I can’t stand it any longer. Send some ships!”
“Admiral. As you know, if you move even a few ships here, the flanks will slow down and your formation will collapse.”
Imagine that several people are moving side by side as if they are rotating.
From there, the inside only needs to move a little, but the person located outside needs to move quickly.
Right now, the Oth Empire is retreating, but looking down from the sky, it was spinning.
All of a sudden, the place where Going Missha was wriggling was the most active place. If you remove it to remove troops from there, the reverse action will take place and there will be a stagnation phenomenon for a while.
Then the whole thing will creak. The formation that can optimally charge towards the kingdom of Ybel is also broken.
“sh*t! Take it out from the front and send it!”
“Then we will have to send more than ten ships.”
“Then do it!”
I had to send troops to the outer shell in the rear, but I had to take out the troops in the front, not near them, and send them around.
It was a very troubling situation.
* * *
Lian smiled and slowly turned the helm.
To be honest, the formation of the Os Empire seemed like a play house to Lian.
This is because of the tactical limitations of their ships.
Buff!!! pop!!
The sound of an engagement could be heard from the front.
That alone could predict what had happened.
“what?! How is it going?”
“It looks like I was beaten by a warship from the Kingdom of Ibel while withdrawing troops from the front. hehehehe.”
Both sides of the Ibel Kingdom and the Oth Empire were moving with exquisite distance.
In fact, both navies do not want to fight.
If it wasn’t for Lian, we’d be doing this for a while and then backing off… … .
[Captain! Eight enemy ships are fast approaching from the front. Look at the status… There are signs of engagement.]
“It wasn’t a skirmish, it was a one-sided beating. The number sent must have been roughly ten.”
The Ybel Kingdom, seeing the galleys moving in front, would have been surprised and opened fire.
Of course, Ibel’s side must have been a little disorganized by this shelling.
Because you have to turn the ship to the side to fire.
“Right.”
The formation of the Os Empire was also subtly distorted.
It was a chain reaction to the formation change of the Ybel kingdom.
“hehehe. You must have worked hard to get here.”
“kid. Isn’t ten ships a bit too much?”
“yes. A lot. lol.”
After saying that, I suddenly changed the direction of the Going Missha.
[Captain. Enemy ships are chasing them.]
“I am watching.”
The radar showed enemy ships diligently following them.
The sentinel’s voice sounded urgent, but Lian wasn’t nervous at all.
“sh*t! it’s narrowing Aren’t you catching up?”
“There is no need to make a fuss. Even if hybrids look good, they don’t necessarily have only advantages.”
“hybrid?”
“It means mongrel.”
The main power source for galleys is floating rocks.
Of course, there was no choice but to run more output than normal ships that were molded to floating stones.
And there.
“Who paddles that paddle?”
“ah!!”
Unlike machines, people get tired.
That’s why they don’t always row.
“Don’t worry, there will be no catching up.”
The Going Misha and the eight squadrons played hide and seek with the Oth Empire’s fleet at the center.
As predicted by Lian, the distance got closer, then went away, caught up again, then fell behind again.
Shaaa!!
In the end, the distance was maintained until almost half a turn.
no. It was getting farther and farther away, very subtly.
“The artillery room only fires one shot.”
[Our cutie captain. It’s not right here.]
“Shoot them with the salute. with smoke It would be nice if it was pink.”
[Uh ha ha ha!! He’s like this kind of aegyo!]
Mapo seems to have understood what Lian meant by bringing up the story.
pop!!
The direction the gun was fired was in the direction of the captain’s ship of the Oth Empire.
Cucumber!
The shell exploded with smoke instead of flying away, and the color of the smoke was pink, as Lian had requested.
* * *
Seeing that, Admiral Nunahel of the Oth Empire was very angry.
His face had turned red from the heat.
“I-I… dare! me… … !”
“Fix it. Admiral. If you go over here, you’ll be in big trouble. A fleet of over a hundred ships is at stake!”
Nunahel was a positional figure who rose from a low-end pirate member to a captain and an admiral.
Of course, bravery is the foundation.
“after… i get it.”
And, of course, patience was also built into it.
If he had been a person who was easily swayed by such provocations, he would not have reached this position.
On the other hand, the king of the Ibel Kingdom, who was watching this.
“ha ha ha! It’s getting cold inside. He’s a hero. He is a hero. After all, not everyone becomes an honorary paladin.”
They applauded and laughed out loud.
However, I have my doubts.
“By the way, I hadn’t heard of such a great captain… … .”
“There are people who can figure it out.”
“hmm?”
The king’s aide told the king.
“I think it might be Count Lian Leon.”
“ah. The one who recently became your cousin’s son-in-law?”
“Looking at the pirate flag and the flag of the Sinsenrom Empire being used at the same time, it is presumed that this is the case. And the ship he’s on is also an ironclad ship… … .”
“Right. A reasonable idea. However, I’ve never heard of him being an honorary paladin… … .”
Because of this operation, he had been at sea for a long time, so he had not heard from the king.
“And you have to participate in the holy war to be ordained an honorary paladin. that… Count Leon’s age… … ?”
“I heard that you are a little too young.”
Certainly, that ship was suspicious in many ways.
“Connect communication.”
“I tried earlier, but it is being rejected. It seems to be still connected somewhere.”
* * *
The Going Misha passed between the two fleets without joining the kingdom of Ibel.
Are you passing quietly?
“Save it and shoot wildly!”
[Please leave it to me. We also have a knack now!]
The voice of the gunnery commander was excited as he only pounded one-sidedly.
I am taking this opportunity to practice shooting.
pop! pop! pop!!!
This time, too, he moved only within range of Galvepo.
Three or four ships from the other side, who were in heat, returned fire, but to no avail.
Tingting~!
The exterior of the Going Missha was much harder than expected.
In fact, for this reason, the trend will change from timber ships to ironclad ships. The aspect changes to a dreadnought style in which large guns are placed on the deck instead of several small guns to penetrate the iron plate.
Then, in the end, the era of the giant ship Geopo arrives.
“ruler. How long will I see you?”
Lian took advantage of this and viciously made a move to repeat what he had just done.
Of course, the Ost Empire noticed this and attached several ships when Lian passed in front.
Beep!
Of course, Ybel’s side wasn’t just watching.
He gave covering fire to the ships of the Oth Empire that were catching up.
“Good job!!”
Lian saw that and blew a double stick.
Of course, the side of the Ybel Kingdom wouldn’t be able to see that.
“kid. Closer this time!”
“are you okay. Because it’s a fake.”
The Going Misha broke into an S-shape just as it was trying to get out of the middle where both fleets faced each other.
“Goodbye~!”
Turning is, of course, higher on the oars galley, but again it could not be chased.
It was because they had already been chasing after enduring the fire of the Ibel kingdom.
“I’m going the opposite way~”
Lian slipped away in the opposite direction and began to kick again from the outside.
Pung~ Pung~ Pung~!!
There should have been eight ships chasing that side earlier, but they had already moved to the rear.
The Otto Empire became more and more confused because of a mudfish.
The formation is already on the verge of collapsing.
* * *
Admiral Nunahel finally exploded.
“Miss Sebari. Take command! We can’t leave them alone.”
“It is dangerous to go there by yourself.”
“joy! Who am I?”
“Admiral of the 1st Fleet of the Great Oth Empire… … .”
“no! Who am I? Say it again.”
At those words, Nunahel’s closest aide, Lady Sevari, straightened her body and looked into her eyes as she answered clearly.
“This is Nunahel, the pirate queen of the Middle Seas.”
“okay. Teach them well and come back!”
Even in the midst of this, the sound of a horse cannon was heard intermittently.
boom~ boom~ boom~
Now they were very openly firing horse cannons from the spot.
“Come on. You are the queen.”
She just put the board on her side and went outside.
A situation where more than 100 ships are moving little by little at narrow intervals.
Whii profit!!
In an instant, she stepped on each other and ran in the direction of the Going Misha.
No matter how close the ships and ships are, it was a burdensome distance for even tolerable warriors to cross continuously.
However, she was not a tolerable warrior, but a sword master.
Furr~!
As soon as he reached the farthest ship, he threw the board he was wearing on his side into the sea.
“I’ll make you pay for fooling me!”
