A few days later, the heavy rain passed and the weather became sunny again. Jiang Xiaotan and others left the small harbor by boat and continued southward along the coast of the Western Continent.

When they left, the baronet and the swordsmen had been completely brainwashed by Margaret. They firmly believed that the Crusade of Romulus was an extremely evil organization. Sepp, who had once resisted the church, was now working with the church.

The forces of Le and Constantine are the final saviors of the Eastern Continent.

If the voyage goes well, we will reach Cape Gris in five or six days. After passing that cape and sailing all the way west, we will enter the territorial waters of West Francis.

However, on the fifth day of sailing, when Cape Gris was within sight of the naked eye, a fleet of mainly medium-sized galleys stopped Jiang Xiaotan's ship.

Looking at the coat of arms on the flag and sail, the opponent is the East Francis Navy.

They raised a flag and asked Jiang Xiaotan's ship to dock for inspection.

"What happened? The other party received our protest and turned against us?" Margaret asked.

"That's not right." Jiang Xiaotan said, "The documents of the protest probably haven't arrived at Tenniu Fort yet. The other party probably doesn't know that we canceled the visit, which means we are still VIPs now."

"The fact that they dispatched so many warships is obviously not a routine patrol ship, and there should be several merchant ships in front of us. We didn't see any merchant ships turning back, which means they have all passed."

"Hmph, I'm afraid their target is us."

"Lord Kain, I'll go negotiate with them," Lei Lei said.

"Well, you have to be careful. You can claim our diplomatic immunity if necessary."

Jiang Xiaotan ordered the sailors to put down the boat and let Lei Lei go to the other side's flagship to negotiate.

After Lei Lei boarded the opponent's flagship, Jiang Xiaotan used his farsightedness to observe the situation over there.

Although the sound could not be heard, one could see that the person in charge of the negotiation was very domineering.

It can be seen that Lei Lei has been suppressing his anger and trying to keep his attitude polite and polite, neither humble nor overbearing.

Suddenly, the other party tore off the documents that Lei Lei was carrying, and then put the sword on Lei Lei's neck.

Lei Lei immediately turned into a puff of smoke and floated towards the boat, and the other party actually shot and killed the sailor on the boat.

Jiang Xiaotan took a deep breath and ordered: "Remove the concealing baffles, all gunners are in position, prepare for naval battle!"

The first mate on the ship was stunned for a moment, and then immediately passed on the order.

He was still a little uneasy. When he just stopped the ship, he secretly counted it. The opponent had thirty warships, and there was only one ship here. Can he beat them?

At this time, Eveli pulled her skirt and ran quickly into the cabin. The first mate still didn't know the meaning of her move.

Jiang Xiaotan showed a smile. With Eveli here, a mere thirty enemy ships were just living targets.

The opponent's warships began to accelerate towards this side, and the ship at the front quickly entered the cannon range.

"Turn the rudder right! Don't worry, let all the port gun positions enter the best shooting angle. In addition, let the vampire technician turn on the second power system and stand by."

The ship turned leisurely to the right, and at the same time exposed the black gun barrels on the left side of the ship.

"The port gun emplacements have all entered the firing angle," the herald reported.

"fire!"

Just a roar was heard, sixteen naval guns on the port side fired at the same time, and black shells flew towards the enemy ship.

However, after all, the sea is different from the land. Under the influence of wind and waves, the hit rate is very impressive.

But the cannon fired by Eveli herself hit the bow of the enemy ship at the front and penetrated the deck.

The cannonball fell straight into the cabin where the rowing sailor was. The group of power people didn't know what this big black iron ball was, and they were staring at it in a daze when the cannonball exploded.

The galley at the forefront almost lost power all of a sudden and was quickly overtaken by its companions.

The archers on the deck were startled by this scene. Even though the shooting range was far from enough, they still started to fire arrows towards Jiang Xiaotan.

The arrows flew less than halfway before they all fell into the sea. Just as the archers set the second arrow, they suddenly found that the ship under their feet was tilting.

The explosion just now not only killed a large number of rowing sailors, but also blasted a large hole in the bottom of the boat. Sea water quickly poured in, causing the hull to lose its balance.

The ship sank quickly.

"Continue to turn the rudder and let another bombardment hit the starboard side!"

The first mate passed on the order, and at the same time he noticed a problem.

After turning the rudder, the bow of the ship will face the southeast direction. At this time, there is a fairly strong southeast wind on the sea, which means that the hull will enter the headwind position.

But the first mate was already very familiar with the ship's power system, and he immediately understood Jiang Xiaotan's intention.

While directing the helmsman to turn the helm, he ordered the sailors on the deck: "Reef the sails! Reef the sails! Lord Kain wants to sail against the wind!"

After hearing this, Jiang Xiaotan gave a thumbs up to the first mate who had great understanding, and then turned back to observe the enemy ship.
Chapter completed!
