Chapter 208: Southern Expedition to Busilia City

On the day when the Orient arrived at Canterbury Harbor, Zhang Wei received some bad news. Not long after they left, Busilia City began to send ships to various places to search for the whereabouts of the Highland Dwarf slaves.

Although intelligence shows that the city of Busilia should not have yet raised suspicion on Zhang Wei's Dongfang, it cannot be ruled out that they will conduct a thorough search of the Dongfang.

Zhang Wei discussed with Lilith and the Highland Dwarf slaves and decided not to take any risks. After all, they only had one ship and if they went north to the port city of Hatteras and encountered a thorough search, they would most likely be exposed.

If we just bypass Hatteras Port and go north directly back to Andaman Port, it would be tantamount to admitting guilt.

Zhang Wei did not have much time to hesitate, because he had already received news that the people from Busilia City stationed in Canterbury Port had already begun preparing to search the Orient through Canterbury Port.

Zhang Wei decisively issued the order to leave the port, and the Oriental left in such a hurry that it didn't even have a pass to the next place, which simply meant that the Highland Dwarf slaves were on the Oriental.

So both the ships from Canterbury Port and the ships from Busilia City hurriedly left the port to hunt down the Orient.

In order to shake off the enemy who was chasing them, Zhang Wei had no choice but to order the Dongfang to sail into the endless ocean. After 10 days of sailing, the Dongfang finally shook off the enemy who had been following them.

After that, the Orient sailed for another 10 days and corrected its course before returning to Andaman Harbor. However, the enemies who refused to give up actually tracked them all the way to the sea outside Andaman Harbor.

They cruised off the coast of Andaman Harbor and were reluctant to leave.

After returning to his own territory, Zhang Wei did not tolerate them. He led the navy stationed in Andaman Port directly out of the port and defeated this group of enemies.

In the end, only 10 out of more than 4 warships managed to escape from the battlefield.

After all, naval warfare is different from land warfare. When Zhang Wei saw the four warships that had fled far away, he thought that he was not yet ready to attack the port of Hatteras and the city of Busilia, so he could only watch the four warships go away.

Zhang Wei sent people to go north on a merchant ship to the First World, urgently summoning Liu Rengui and Zhang He to go south for support.

A month later, Liu Rengui led a fleet carrying Zhang He's army south to the Andaman Port.

After the military meeting, Zhang Wei, who was ready for everything, ordered the army to march south.

Their first target of attack was Hatteras.

Three days after the army moved south, it encountered warships from the Grand Duchy of Naima that were heading north to convey intelligence.

According to the messenger, Busilia City, Canterbury Port and Hasa Principality are planning to organize a joint fleet to attack Andaman Port in the north to take back the mountain dwarf slaves. This move is equivalent to proving that the three parties are involved in the action of inciting the mountain dwarves and highland dwarves to establish an independent country.

Therefore, the Grand Duchy of Naima is willing to further cooperate with Zhang Wei. If Zhang Wei can really fulfill the agreement and establish a smooth trade route with the Port of Dhaka, then the Grand Duchy of Naima will support Zhang Wei to further acquire Banff Island, located to the east of the Port of Dhaka. Banff Island is only a dozen days' voyage from the Port of Dhaka and can serve as a base for Zhang Wei's side.

Zhang Wei looked at the nautical chart and found that if they could get Banff Island, it would be helpful for them to establish contact with the Kingdom of Tiprano on the continent of Pros. Once he could trade with the Kingdom of Tiprano, it would be equivalent to opening up the trade route to the southernmost continent of the Second World. After all, this world only has four continents and some small islands.

Therefore, Zhang Wei readily accepted the proposal of the Grand Duchy of Naima.

The envoy, who had completed his mission, decided to lead the warships that escorted him and continue to move south with Zhang Wei's army. The reason was simple: he was somewhat frightened by the strength of Zhang Wei's army, so he wanted to return to the principality to report after further understanding Zhang Wei's military strength. After all, the envoy was also worried that their move was to invite a wolf into the house.

According to the intelligence the envoy himself had, the original plan of the Grand Duchy of Naima was to provide further assistance to Zhang Wei after he was blocked from going south, so as to gain more benefits and initiative in trade with Zhang Wei.

But no matter how you look at it, Zhang Wei's side is not strong enough to require further help from the Grand Duchy of Naima. Even the waiter does not think that Zhang Wei can afford such a large fleet and army with just one port and one city.

In other words, the envoy was very suspicious of Zhang Wei's intentions.

Zhang Wei saw through the envoy's intention but did not say it out loud. He agreed to let the envoy's warship sail with the team. According to Zhang Wei's idea, the bigger the fist, the harder the truth, and the truth is within the range of the cannon.

Of course, Zhang Wei was not completely sure that he could sweep the second world. After all, he found that the warships of the second world were equipped with a large number of artillery, while the fighting methods of the warships of the first world were still boarding battles or mutual shooting between magicians and archers.

Of course, Zhang Wei did not underestimate himself. If the warships of the first world only had boarding capabilities and archers, then no matter how many warships there were, they would not be enough. These gunboats of the second world were used for bombing, but the warships of the first world were equipped with a large number of magicians.

It can be said that both sides have their own strengths.

Not to mention that Zhang Wei also brought a large number of Pegasus Knights and Dark Wyvern Knights with him this time. In other words, Zhang Wei had an air force.

Five days later, the first large-scale naval battle broke out in an accidental encounter.

The vanguard fleet led by Liu Rengui collided head-on with the allied fleet that was heading north to attack them.

The allied fleet looked at the huge number of Liu Rengui's fleet, and the first thing they wanted to do was to seize a favorable position so that they could bombard Liu Rengui's fleet.

On the other hand, Liu Rengui's side did not have such strong requirements for position and wind direction. Liu Rengui first ordered the magicians of each ship to use magic shields to protect the important parts of the ship.

At the same time, Liu Rengui ordered all warships to rush towards the enemy at high speed and prepare for boarding operations.

Seeing this, the allied fleet knew that Liu Rengui's fleet wanted to engage in close combat with them, so they decided to continue to utilize the range advantage of their artillery, continuously bombarding Liu Rengui's fleet, and trying every means to increase the distance between the two sides.

The two sides chased each other, and the artillery shells of the allied fleet could not penetrate the magic defense shield of Liu Rengui's fleet, and Liu Rengui's side was unable to close the distance between the two sides and fight back.

After a period of stalemate, the situation changed when the main fleet led by Zhang Wei arrived...
