Chalmers Island.
The Delta Federation's hundred warships stationed here are still here, and several warships are patrolling the sea. Meanwhile, the temporary commander, Pam, is on the island watching the soldiers line up for drills.
However, Pam's mind was not on the soldiers at all. He crossed his arms, his face full of worry, as did the officers beside him.
To this day, they have received no news about the main fleet, and the Allied forces have not sent back any messages since leaving Chalmers Island.
As they departed one after the other, it was as if they had forgotten the people on Charme Island. This "forgetting" was definitely not normal. Even though he had great faith in the strength of the main fleet and the allied forces, the lack of news made Pam's mind wander to terrible things.
"It's been so many days, and there's been no movement at all. I'm afraid something really has happened." At this moment, an army lieutenant said with a stern face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the naval lieutenant next to him looked at Pam and said, "Sir, logically speaking, after the allied forces joined up with our main fleet, the commander should have sent warships back to inform us, but he didn't. Could it be that they have already officially engaged in combat with the Yan Kingdom's fleet? Have they been fighting all this time?"
Pam shook his head and frowned, saying:
“If there is indeed a battle, but the commander and his men cannot send warships back, then the battle must be extremely intense. The Yan Kingdom’s fleet is not weak, and they also have a large fleet. Our fleet is tied up and is engaged in a fierce battle with the Yan Kingdom.” He rubbed his temples.
Pam was caught in a dilemma; in fact, he had no idea what to do.
The officers exchanged worried glances, while the naval ensign hesitated before saying, "Just waiting around without knowing anything about the situation at the front is useless..."
"Either send warships to explore further afield, or..."
He paused for a moment before saying, "...Let's just pretend the front lines have collapsed and head back immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pam stared at him and said, "Although there was a problem this time, it shouldn't have come to this!"
"Wait a little longer. If we still haven't received any news by the middle of this month, then we'll set sail again."
"We cannot act rashly now; it's better not to do anything at all than to make a mistake."
“Perhaps the warships ahead will return in a couple of days.” Pam shifted his gaze from the lieutenant’s face to the others.
"Maybe..." the officers said helplessly.

maritime.
"Marshal, according to your plan, we are less than three days' sailing from Chalme Island. Should we stop sailing now?"
"We've already left Coral Island and are sailing at sea on the Lightning of the Rose Fleet," Leto said to Lucarte.
Luctor, with a solemn expression, said coldly, "Hmm, that's about it. Once it gets dark, notify the fleet to halt its advance."
"The Gothic fleet is still stationed on Chalmers Island..."
Leto's face darkened: "Defeat them!"
Lucat nodded slightly: "Take Charmel Island and wait for the Yan people to arrive."
Leto agreed, but his thoughts gradually drifted back to a few days earlier.
A few days ago, after Lucar returned from the Dinghai, he formally explained to them the plan to defeat the Delta Federation's Second Fleet. Lucar's request for battle was approved by the Emperor of Yan.
After delivering the supplies to Coral Island, the Rose Fleet began its return voyage, with its first stop being Chalmers Island.
Now, Leto looked at Lucat again and asked:
"Marshal, how long do the Yan Kingdom people intend to stay on Coral Island?"
Lucate stroked his chin and said calmly, "How would I know? Why would the Emperor of Yan reveal their operational plans to me?"
"He only told us to take control of Chalme Island and get rid of all the Goths as soon as possible."
"However, this shows that the Yan Kingdom fleet probably won't stay on Coral Island for too long. They will most likely set sail for Chalme Island after us."
"It is obvious that the Yan Emperor knows the importance of Chalme Island, and he must want to use Chalme Island to do something."
Leto frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lucate pondered, “Charme Island is not like Coral Island. It’s a nice place with abundant resources, and it’s located in the middle of the route from Yan Kingdom to Leon Continent and Salisno Continent.”
"To be honest... Chalmers Island could be considered a transit hub."
"The Yan Kingdom's fleet is very strong, but as you can see, they don't have many warships. I've observed them closely these past few days, and they only have less than six hundred warships."
Leto nodded and said, "That's right. They fought a naval battle with the Allied forces before, and they should have suffered some losses as well."
Lucat shook his head: "That's hard to say, after all, we weren't there during that battle."
“But I think Yan Kingdom should have more than just these warships. If the Delta Federation can send out a second fleet, then Yan Kingdom should certainly have a second fleet as well.”
"Perhaps... the Yan people stopped sailing because they were waiting for their reinforcements."
At this point, Lucate looked up at the sea and said in a deep voice:
"Let's not think too much about their affairs; we'll find out later."
"Now we just need to get our business done. Tonight, as planned, have Roberts lead twenty warships to continue sailing toward Chalme Island."
“Take the Goths away from Charme Island and don’t give them a chance to fight on land.” Lucate said coldly.
