Chapter 1001 Strange Ship
“Woo——”
The horn sounded as an alarm quickly.
They, the Zhou Dynasty, only have three ships here. Apart from that, any ship that appears on the sea cannot be theirs.
Almost at the same time that the unidentified ship appeared, the observer standing on the observation deck quickly activated the 'Eye of Insight' to find out.
"There is a white flag hanging on that ship, wait a minute! There is also a red mark in the middle of the flag."
This information quickly reached Bai Tu's ears, and now the man was standing on the deck Bai Tu, who was above, frowned deeply. He had never seen such a flag before.
"Have any traces of other ships been found?"
"Report, no trace of other ships has been found yet."
Baitu Zailue, who confirmed the news After pondering for a moment, he acted decisively.
"Give me the order to approach in an inverted triangle formation!"
The so-called inverted triangle formation means that the two clippers are arranged on both sides and rush in front, while the large ship transporting troops is located in the center. Follow behind.
The other party may not have an 'eye of insight' and cannot see the specific details of their ship, but the size of the ship is there, and it is easy to notice their existence.
Almost as soon as they deployed their formation and approached, the ship on the opposite side also immediately made new movements.
On the other side, I saw the boat turning around as fast as possible, obviously trying to escape.
Faced with this situation, Bai Tu quickly ordered...
"Send a signal and let the pterosaur riders monitor from the air to ensure that no more enemies appear, and then let the two speedboats pursue them at full speed to see if they can Can’t catch up!”
Above the border waters, there are pterosaur riders patrolling and guarding in the air all day long.
As soon as there is a situation here, the nearby pterosaur riders will quickly gather over.
During this period, after receiving the signal from Bai Tu and the others, the pterosaur rider followed the signal without hesitation and took action.
There are pterosaur riders monitoring from the air, which allows the naval force led by Bai Tu to pursue the pursuit with greater confidence.
However, Bai Tu didn’t actually have high expectations for this pursuit.
Although the speed of the clipper ship on the sea is faster than that of the big ship, it cannot keep the initial distance between them from each other too far.
This is like a running race, but the opponent ran a lap first.
From the current point of view, their clipper ship is indeed faster than the opposite sea ship. If they keep chasing, they will catch up sooner or later.
But the question is, how far do they have to chase?
In the previous letter written by His Majesty, it was emphasized that they should not leave the offshore area too far rashly, because there is no reference point at sea and it is easy to lose the direction.
Once any danger occurs, it will be too late to provide support.
This point made Bai Tu feel entangled in his heart, and even now he has not yet come up with a result.
The unidentified ship on the opposite side was still escaping at full speed without looking back.
During this period, Bai Tu looked back at the harbor, which was getting smaller and smaller within his field of vision, and was almost invisible. After a brief hesitation, he ordered in a deep voice.
"Stop chasing." The sea is a basically unknown territory for them. At this time, it is better to be cautious.
"Let the pterosaur rider continue to pursue and see if he can lock the opponent's direction."
In comparison, the pterosaur rider flying in the air has a better view. Guang, but I can pursue it further.
While waiting for the pterosaur rider to bring back the information, Bai Tu did not choose to return directly, but instead let the three sea ships temporarily stop in that sea area.
On the one hand, it was to facilitate the response, and on the other hand, he wanted to see if the other party would turn around and come back after they stopped chasing.
If the opponent dares to follow his example, then he will definitely let the Clippers rush forward immediately and catch the opponent by surprise!
With this mentality, Bai Tu waited and waited, but did not reach the other side, feeling slightly disappointed.
Obviously, he prefers to fight with the opponent. When the time comes, he will capture a few prisoners and go back for interrogation, and many things will be understood.
But the other party is obviously not stupid. They are only a thirty-meter-class sea-going ship. Even if the size of the sea-going ship is not considered, in terms of quantity, it is obviously not the opponent of the Great Zhou Navy, which makes them have no idea at all. The thought of turning back.
This move was extremely smooth. Bai Tu and the others waited at sea for almost half an hour before the pterosaur rider flew back.
Failed to directly locate the enemy's base camp.
They are far from familiar with this sea. At this moment, their location has completely exceeded their usual offshore area. They are also afraid that they will not be found after chasing them out. The way back.
Not to mention that the pterosaur's physical strength cannot bear to fly in the air for such a long time. Now that it is still at sea, the pterosaur below is almost unable to hold on and has to borrow their help from the Great Zhou Hai. The deck of the ship allowed the pterosaur to temporarily land and rest.
Seeing this, Bai Tu could only give up temporarily and ordered to return.
During this period, Soros had undoubtedly received the news. Bai Tu and the others had just returned to the port when they were immediately called to inquire about the situation.
Soros frowned deeply after understanding the situation.
The information this time was too limited. They only knew that there was a ship of about thirty meters on the opposite side, with a white flag with a red band hanging on it.
For them, it is difficult to analyze anything based on this little information.
"Anyway, next, we must strengthen the intensity of daily patrol tasks in the peripheral waters."
After saying this, Bai Tu's eyes fell on Soros.
With their Dazhou Navy currently consisting of two small ships, one large, and three ships, it is unrealistic to strengthen the patrol strength of the peripheral sea areas. For this work, currently, they can only rely on the pterosaur riders of the Lizardmen.
After experiencing the war with the Ratmen, Bai Tu and Thoros are now considered old comrades-in-arms.
As soon as Bai Tu spoke, Soros understood what the other party meant and nodded immediately.
"Don't worry, I will make arrangements for the pterosaur rider."
Then they briefly chatted about the next arrangements.
Of course, I did not forget to write a report during this period and send it to the palace in Black Moon City to report the matter to their majesty.
Although a thirty-meter-class sea-going ship is nothing to today's Da Zhou, the fact that the other party can build a sea-going ship of that size is enough to show that the other party's level of development is definitely not low. .
There is no guarantee that we will have to fight again this time, but it’s hard to say exactly how. After all, the opponent is at sea, and they can’t even lock the target’s position yet.
All matters must wait for His Majesty to make a decision first.
