The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed, but it seems to be a dead end at the moment.
How can we get the Second Fleet the intelligence so they can avoid contact with the Yan Kingdom's fleet and return home safely...?
Just as Edelman was deep in thought, Lucate coldly said:
"I have heard about the conflicts that have occurred between you recently."
"In order to survive, fighting is inevitable, but you don't have to do that now. Take a headcount of your numbers and report to me. I will allocate enough supplies from our fleet's reserves for all of you to last for five months."
"We will return at full speed. If all goes well, we should be back on the continent of Leon in a little over a month. Once we are back on the continent of Leon, I will immediately notify your country. If they immediately prepare warships to set sail and ransom you, it will take them no more than two months to reach Coral Island."
"Supplies are plentiful; you only need to stay here for a few months."
That being said, this is not what Lucate truly wanted to do.
In fact, the best way to get the Rose Fleet and the country out of this war as much as possible is to let all of them die here, leaving no one alive!
As long as the Rose Fleet can return home safely, then no matter how other countries retaliate afterward, at least they can still tell the "most favorable" story as survivors.
If these people were to return home, their account would most likely be: 'The Shenglu people deserted in the face of battle, leading to our disastrous defeat, and they even became lackeys of the Yan Kingdom, working for them!'
Lucate had reason to believe that these scheming individuals in front of him would say such things, and he wished he could eliminate all these potential threats immediately. However, killing these people under the noses of the Yan people was far too risky.
The people of Yan Kingdom definitely wanted to see them return home; otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to arrange these things and deliberately keep them on this island.
Therefore, these people cannot be killed, nor should they be killed. If they are killed, the Yan people will definitely turn against them.
This is an unsolvable conspiracy. Lucate understands it, but he can't break the deadlock. The only thing he can do is to make a request to the Emperor of Yan during his meeting tomorrow...
Just then, Edman suddenly said, "After you've settled us in, will you return along the original route?"
Lucat assumed he was like Federich, so he didn't give him a friendly look and said coldly, "What? Do you have a problem with that?"
Edelman's eyes flashed, seizing a glimmer of hope in Lucat's words for sending out intelligence. He shook his head and said, "Of course not."
He then walked over to Lucat's side. Lucat looked wary, but Edelman said in a low voice, "There's something I'd like to talk to Marshal Lucat about."
