Chapter 652 The Lion and the Kitten

Hearing this, Isabella pursed her lips and smiled: "Fear?"

Clemento nodded and said, "He said you..."

Before he could finish his words, Isabella interrupted him and said, "I don't care what he said. You don't have to say it, and I don't want to hear it."

"Although our Lieyang Fleet was almost wiped out during this trip to Yan Country, which made me very sad, it was not a heavy blow to our Sa Ri Country. It was just an advance force."

"This failure was caused by wrong intelligence, but I think we also learned more from this failure." She looked calm and turned to look out the window.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Clement nodded and continued:

"I have to admit that Yan Country is not as weak as I imagined. Their warships can carry hundreds of cannons. The number of warships we saw in the South China Sea has even exceeded a thousand. As for their port, although we have not landed, we can tell from the exchange of fire that there are an astonishing number of cannons deployed in that port."

"Based on this battle, the Yan Kingdom may have military strength similar to that of the Shenglu Kingdom."

Hearing this, Isabella shook her head and said, "Your judgment is too arbitrary."

"You should know that our fleet is not the only one heading to Yan Country this time. There are also people from other countries. Since they dare to take action, they must have a certain confidence."

As soon as he finished speaking, Clemento said sternly: "That man is a lunatic, that's why he dared to do such a thing!"

Isabella turned her head and looked at him, then said calmly:

"Clemento, control your anger, it will only make you lose your mind."

"If he was a madman, he wouldn't have set a trap at sea and let the entire fleet fall there."

"I think he is not only not a madman, but also an extremely sinister and cunning man. The fact that he dared to let you go shows that he is not worried about exposing the military strength of Yan Country. This means that they may not have used the entire navy in that naval battle."

"This is a country that should never be underestimated." Isabella finally gave this evaluation.

Clemento calmed down the anger in his chest, tried to stay calm, and said, "Your Majesty is right."

"But in this battle, we lost too many people, and they destroyed and took away hundreds of warships. This is the biggest loss we have suffered in recent years. The Yan Country that caused all this was previously unknown. No matter how powerful their military is, it can never be compared with our country."

"Your Majesty! We must make them pay with blood!" He looked at Isabella, his voice low.

Isabella was still looking out the window, she was lost in thought.

She had high hopes for forming a coalition to march to the Kingdom of Yan. After all, it was almost an easy task. However, not only did they fail to obtain the land, but the entire fleet suffered a devastating disaster.

But compared to the losses she suffered, she was more concerned about the attitude of Yan Country. Judging from the fact that they dared to use a massacre as a warning, the monarch was undoubtedly an iron-blooded and ruthless man. Perhaps he had certain similarities with von Palen of the Delta Federation.

The Delta Federation under the leadership of von Palen has proven their military strength in the wars in recent years, but the Yan Kingdom has only fought one war so far.

Did they end the war in such a brutal way because they were confident, or did they want to portray their country as a powerful country in this way to deter others?

There was too little intelligence for Isabella to draw any further conclusions, but she just hoped that this country was not another Taqi country.

If Yan Kingdom is a country like Taqi Kingdom, then we must never rashly start a war with them.

Now that the Sari Kingdom is on the road to prosperity, apart from acquiring more colonies, there is absolutely no need for it to provoke a powerful country.

War is only a means to gain benefits. If a war ends with more losses than gains, then there is no need to fight it. Of course, the Patriotic War is an exception. But how could there ever be a day when Sarika would need to fight a Patriotic War?

Even if it was the Taqi Kingdom, Isabella dared to say that there would never be a day when they would attack the country. No matter what kind of war it was, it would only be fought outside the country.

The flames of war will never reach our country.

"His Majesty?"

Seeing Isabella remained silent, Clemento shouted, and then said: "Are you... planning to end it like this?" His face suddenly became gloomy.

"Of course not." Isabella pursed her lips and continued, "The blood of our people will not be shed in vain."

"These warriors' sacrifices will never be in vain. How can we not make them pay for the way the enemy treated them?"

"Since the people of Yan committed such a crime, they should be ready to be punished." She turned and looked at Clemento, her red lips the color of blood.

"Send out the fleet! Defeat their navy completely! Make them pay with blood!" Clemento said coldly.

"Yes, but we need to be more prepared this time." Isabella put her hands behind her back and continued:

"When you were fighting the Yan people, the Shenglu people fled. If they had joined the battle, we wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss, don't you think?"

Clemento's mind raced. As a witness of that battle, he knew that even if the Rose Fleet hadn't escaped, it would not have been able to influence the final outcome. But how could he not understand what Isabella meant? He nodded and said,

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"As a member of the Allied Forces, the Rose Fleet fled in the middle of a battle, causing a huge loophole in our tactics. They need to take responsibility for this defeat!"

Isabella hummed, "I think Figus needs to give us an explanation." Then she asked:

"Also, are you sure that the Hungarian fleet was completely destroyed and no one survived?"

Clemento shook his head. “No, Your Majesty!”

"That man killed Augustus himself. All the other Huns were slaughtered. He only let us go."

"Very good." Isabella smiled, "Then we have the right to interpret this war."

"Saint Easter has a debt to pay, and I think he will be happy to devote a large number of navy to revenge in the next operation."

As she spoke, she held her cheek and sighed, "It's a pity that Feng Palen always goes his own way and always makes decisions that are unexpected."

"But as you said, Feng Palen sent more federal warships than expected to Yan Country this time. This move may indicate that he has regarded Yan Country as a target that must be conquered. It should be the first colony he wants to build outside of his homeland. This is very critical. If this target cannot be taken, then these continuous wars will begin to backfire on him."

At this point, a breeze blew in through the window. Isabella brushed a strand of her golden hair behind her ears, looked at Clemento and said with a smile:

"Let them test the details of Yan Nation."

"See whether this country is a fearsome lion or a livid kitten."
