Chapter 237

****

Currently, Blake and his men were currently looking at the big fleets which were frequently patrolling near East Port City and Bryndyll towards the north at Winter City and Aurora very aggressively .

Blake spoke to Sean in a grave tone, "It seems they will attack soon in a few days from the way their preparations and our skirmishes are going on, it is good that all of our ships have a telescope to detect their intentions early on . If anyone of them has the intention to invade, we will be using full force to rout them out . This time Lord has made it clear to show extreme force against any misadventure by opportunists and those with malicious intentions . Pass on this order to every Captain . "

Sean nodded and spoke, "I will immediately pass on the information to everyone . Including those at Winter city . "

Sean then prepared several letters for the captains of various ships and handed it over to the guy who was handling the falcon seabirds that were bred just recently .

Sean sighed and looked towards the direction of Aurora Port where Judd was currently training with the new recruits who were training with their Aurora Horses, "It's good that we have bred these falcons . Usually, it is very hard to pass on information from the sea easily . "

Blake nodded as he agreed with Sean, "Yes, these falcons have surely become handy . I heard the Ghosts funded a lot of their funds into this project so that communication can become faster . Meanwhile, how is the situation of the Aurora Units?"

Sean spoke as he remembered about Judd, "Well, Judd and his Aurora team are battle-ready but a lot of the recruits are very young . However their fleet is equipped with all the latest weapons so it is good overall,"

Blake suddenly remembered Swann and nodded, "Ahh, yes, I forgot about it . I guess they can only be used for surprise attacks later on . Well, it is still okay . Well, it's good that those dwarves and others are constantly being harassed by the sea monsters so it is quite hard for them to invade here at Winter City and Aurora City . However, we still need to be cautious and keep a close look at them . We can't slack off just because we have better weapons and accessories . We are still low on numbers . " Blake smiled as he was leisurely watching the Dwarven fleet which was going to meet a flock of Sea Hydras .

"Nothing to see here, lets leave . They would most likely be running away after incurring heavy losses against those beasts . "

Sean asked him with a confused face, "Why don't we finish them ourselves?"

Blake smiled as he understood Sean's thoughts and explained to him the crux of the matter, "It's complicated, Currently the ministers are focusing on stabilizing the situation after we have declared war against the Royal Family . At the same time, we have sent our diplomats to Bryndyll and the same is being done by King Ludwin and his ministers . We are also trying to get in touch with Demons of Fire-abyss kingdom . Currently, we don't want to be seen as aggressors if anyone of them escapes . Because of our small actions, they might get a justified reason to attack us and get more concessions from us during negotiations . A lot of countries are keeping a close watch on us . So that is the reason we are careful . "

Sean sighed and understood that it was a complicated situation .

Suddenly there came the sounds of bombardment . Blake was surprised because no one in their fleet made the move .

Sean pointed at a direction and spoke while looking with his telescope, "See with the telescope over there . It seems the dwarven fleet is engaged with the flock of Sea Hydras . What is that weird Weapon? It is quite different from our Cannons . "

After watching the Weapons and the Bombardment, Blake was immediately alerted and spoke to his men, "Immediately record everything in detail about this weapon of dwarves . This piece of information will be very useful in reducing our casualties when they try to invade . Is everyone clear?"

"Yes Admiral . "

Sean nodded and headed towards all the scouts and started giving orders .

At the Dwarven side, Their General Nokhud was quite irritated with the sea monsters that constantly attacked .

One of the sailors spoke, "Haven't we lost enough men already to these sea monsters . Why haven't we used them to deal with these monsters yet?"

Another of the ships was attacked by the Hydras .

After some while, Nokhud too had lost his cool and spoke, "I guess we have had enough with these Sea Monsters . We might as well use the shots . Start loading the shot powder, Balance formulae and chaos stones inside Shots . We are finally using it . Though it is a bit ahead of time, it is safe here as our enemies aren't here . We are anyway going to use them against those guys at North . King Ludwin has anyway allowed for the weapon to be used this time around . It would be good if we can colonize them to become our puppets against Aelius . "

All the mates at the Fleet were cheering as soon as they were allowed to use the shots . The despair and agony of not being able to use their weapons soon faded and was filled with cheers .

One of the veterans sighed and spoke, "Finally, we can some peace at night while sailing the seas . "

"But there is a big war coming . I hope it is ok to use these weapons just before the war . "

The veteran smiled and spoke, "Well, not necessarily a big war . We are only trying our chances . Meanwhile, we have most of the information on those ballistas so our enemies are bare naked in front of us, if we play our cards right then we might be able to take over them by using our superior ships and weapons . This time, we have both, the shots for Ships and the small shots for individual combat so this time, our combat prowess has increased by multiple folds . Even those devils or the Undead we usually come across will have a hard time . "

After some time, all the Sea hydras were dead when the Shots were used .

General Nokhud gave a command to everyone, "Get good rest and eat fully this night, We will be invading them tomorrow at dawn . So be prepared . Meanwhile, Inform the Fjord's that they should be ready by tomorrow . "

"Yes, Sir . " Everyone roared as they were filled with morale .

Blake smiled as he looked at the dwarven fleet from his telescope, "This will be interesting . We might have a chance to get their weapons while not facing any casualties if they try to invade us . "

Sean too sighed with relief as he saw that the range of the cannons was only comparable with the ballistas, "It seems they want to attack us to get the ballistas since we will be their biggest thorn when they try to expand near their borders . "

Blake nodded and reached the same conclusion, "Yes . However, this might also be their biggest mistake . Meanwhile, send this information to Lord John as well . We would have to be cautious against that Diplomat . He may try something funny like trying to get our blueprints forcefully or through the spies . Anyway, spread this information to all the captains, We should be cautious since the enemy may try to invade us anytime as they have already started to show their fangs . "

Sean nodded and started the preparations .

He smiled and thought, 'This Naval war might very well increase our influence in the seas . For the first time, we will be able to fully show the naval Capabilities of the Sky Kingdom . As for Fjord, he might very well cry a river if he hears about the performance of our ships . '
