Chapter 200 Patrol Ship x Intercept

Another two hours passed, and they were now less than twenty kilometers away from Huanyue Island.

Hundreds of scouts were scattered in the airspace around the fleet, scanning the surrounding environment and cooperating with the heart network to transmit the news back to Lieutenant General Zheng Hai.

All is well.

Lieutenant General Zheng Hai did not dare to be careless at all, and asked in confusion: "That's not right! According to the intelligence, there should be ships of the Tsuda family patrolling the sea area about 20 kilometers away from Huanyue Island."

At this time, an adjutant speculated: "Maybe it's because the Tsuda family's strength has been severely damaged, so they have pulled back their defenses."

Lieutenant General Zheng Hai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "This is the only possibility."

However, just in case, he asked the scouts to expand the scope of the reconnaissance.

Just a cup of tea later, an intelligence officer quickly stood up and pointed to the latest news sent back by the scout on the screen, reporting: "Reporting to Lieutenant General Zheng Hai, a small sailing ship was found five kilometers away from the flagship. It is predicted to be a patrol ship of the Tsuda family."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Zheng Hai, with the idea of ​​rather killing the wrong person than letting him go, directly dispatched several flying dragons.

The fleet did not stop and continued to move forward.

When the two sides were four kilometers apart, the Tsuda family's patrol ship also discovered the large warships of the Netherlands Kingdom.

"Ship...Captain, ten unidentified ships have been spotted heading towards us." A panicked voice came from the lookout tower.

At this time, the lookout's hands holding the monocular telescope were trembling slightly, but he was still reporting all the information he had observed.

Hearing this, the captain's heart trembled violently, and a large amount of tea he had just brewed in his hand spilled out.

But he had no time to pack up, so he quickly sounded the emergency alarm and rushed out of the cabin with the rest of the people.

"Ah! No!" Before the captain could ask any questions, the lookout let out a desperate and shrill scream.

He completely broke down.

"Hey, what did you see? Tell me quickly!" The captain stood on the deck anxiously, urging the lookout to continue reporting.

"A monster that can...fly. It's a monster controlled by the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of the Netherlands...is here to take revenge on us." The lookout reported what he saw in a halting manner.

Hearing words like "flying monster" and "Kingdom of the Netherlands", everyone on the patrol ship instantly understood what the lookout wanted to express.

They had seen the naval battle between the Netherlands Navy and the Pirate Alliance.

This is a shame for their Tsuda family.

They had seen the air forces used by the Kingdom of the Netherlands with their own eyes, but they had only seen it through live broadcast and could not see it carefully.

After figuring it out, everyone felt a chill suddenly rising from the soles of their feet, then rushing straight to their brains, making their thinking stiff.

The first one to react was the captain. He looked horrified, but still ordered, "Quick! Send the information back to the family."

Seeing that the person in charge of contacting him didn't respond, he kicked him down, "Damn it, what are you still standing there for? Go now!"

"Oh~" The liaison officer woke up as if from a dream, and he staggered towards the cabin.

The captain looked at the flying dragon getting closer and closer, feeling hopeless and unable to see any hope of survival.

An atmosphere of despair spread aboard the small patrol ship.

"Let's surrender!" A crew member took two steps back and said incoherently.

The captain's heart was pounding, but reason overcame the instinct to survive.

The next second, he pulled out the flintlock from his waist, and before anyone could react, he fired directly at the crew member.

Pong!

The flash of gunpowder from the muzzle of the flintlock rifle was fleeting, and the faint smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Seeing this, everyone moved away from the captain and looked at him in fear.

Another crew member stammered, "Captain...what are you...doing?"

"Huh! This is what happens when you want to mutiny." The captain glanced at the crew members coldly.

It is not difficult to understand why the captain made such a choice.

His family is all on Fantasy Moon Island. If he betrays the country and joins the enemy, his family will surely die.

If he died heroically, even if the Dutch Navy captured Fantasy Moon Island, his family would have a great chance of survival.

"Pick up your weapons and prepare..." Before he could finish his words, a series of sounds of breaking through the air were heard.

Several huge and sharp spikes came through the air, directly hitting the patrol ship and causing it to shake, and leaving several large holes on its hull.

The crew members began to shake violently as the ship swayed. They hurriedly picked up their weapons and prepared to fight back.

But Feilong has the upper hand and has the maximum advantage.

The crude flintlock rifles in their hands could not hurt the flying dragon at all.

"monster!"

Another round of spike attacks came, and many crew members collapsed to the ground and dropped their weapons.

This time, a spike smashed straight through the bottom of the boat.

In just a few moments the ship would sink completely.

The flying dragons have clear division of labor and they throw their spikes at people when they catch them.

For a moment, there were screams of agony on the deck, and the captain was not spared.

Capture the thief first and capture the king!

It is common sense to prioritize attacking the most conspicuous enemy.

So the captain died directly in the first wave of spikes.

There was no suspense in the battle on the deck.

The liaison officer ran back to the cabin to report the reconnaissance situation and finally dialed the Den Den Mushi.

He was so panicked and his hands were shaking so much that he dialed the wrong number several times.

Bru! Bru!

"Answer it quickly! Answer it quickly!" the liaison officer said anxiously, beads of sweat on his forehead.

Kacha!

Before the person on the other end could ask, the contact person said anxiously, "I have urgent information to report!"

"This patrol ship was attacked by the Dutch Navy while on patrol."

"The Dutch Navy has dispatched ten warships, and they have now arrived ten kilometers away from Huanyue Island."

"Please be in time...ah~" Before he could finish his report, the liaison officer let out a scream.

It turned out that a spike fell from the ceiling of the cabin, smashing his legs into a bloody mess.

In severe pain, he threw the receiver away.

"Hello! Hello! Can you hear me?"

"What's going on now?"

"..."

An anxious voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

The liaison officer reached out to grab the microphone, but his legs were pinned down and the severe pain prevented him from making any sound or moving.

In the end, he could only sink to the bottom of the sea in despair.

Huanyue Island, Liaison Room.

At this moment, it was silent here, with only the heavy breathing sounds coming one after another.

"Hang up!" said a liaison wearing a headset.

This sentence immediately broke the silence in the room.

"Quick! Report to the master of the family." the person in charge shouted.

"Yes!" A liaison officer immediately rushed out the door.

After a while, Tsuda Shintaro stared at the contact person in front of him with an unpleasant expression and confirmed again: "Really?"

After getting the confirmation, he made a prompt decision: "Sound the battle alert, gather all combat forces, and prepare to fight back."
