Chapter 1510: Choice
"You are worthy of being His Majesty"
After listening to the pterosaur rider's report, Bai Tu was stunned for two seconds.
At this moment, it was hard for him not to sigh that their Majesty was so far-sighted.
He had actually considered some unexpected situations that he might encounter long beforehand, and had sent out a lizardman army led by Bolevin to support him!
However, the Lizardman troops led by Bo Levin were carrying a large amount of supplies, which greatly slowed down the sailing speed of the support fleet, which is why they have not yet reached the tropical island.
As a result, they ran into us halfway.
Of course, a more accurate statement would be that the pterosaur riders on both sides met each other halfway.
Through the pterosaur riders on both sides, they quickly completed a simple exchange of information and understood each other's situation.
In the command room of Ship No. 7, Bai Tu quickly spread out the nautical chart and confirmed the current location of the support fleet.
[Our current location is here, so the support fleet’s current location should be roughly here.]
[It takes 25 days to reach the tropical island from the volcanic island, using the slowest shipping speed.]
[Bishop Bolevin's current location should be about halfway through the voyage, and there are still about thirteen or fourteen days to reach the tropical island.]
[If we change the route directly from this location and turn to this side to provide support, it will take at least ten days. Even if we abandon the transport ship and send a speedboat alone to provide support, the time can be reduced to eight days at most.]
[From where we are now, there are only four days left to reach the volcanic island.]
Just before this pterosaur rider brought back the news, another pterosaur rider had successfully confirmed the location of the volcanic island and brought the news back.
At this point in time, the garrison fleet on the volcanic island has probably completed the next deployment.
From the perspective of time and deployment, it is undoubtedly the safest choice to maintain the original route and return to the volcanic island.
But if this happens, a crucial battle will break out between them in four days.
At this point in time, the support fleet led by Bo Levin was simply too late to provide support.
You know, in terms of combat power, although the support fleet headed by Bolevin only has four speedboats that can be used as warships, don't forget that Bolevin himself, as a wizard who has entered the holy realm, is also a super weapon of strategic level.
From the perspective of comprehensive combat power, it is definitely superior to the garrison fleet currently remaining on the volcanic island.
In addition, the barrels of explosives brought by the support fleet can also quickly provide them with ammunition supplies.
But the biggest problem with making this choice is that Bai Tu doesn't know whether the two sides can cooperate smoothly.
The distance between the two sides is a bit far, so the efficiency of message transmission is not high.
Under this premise, he had basically not carried out any cooperation with Bo Levin and did not know much about him. He only knew that he was a wizard at the saint level and also the bishop of the Ceylon City State Religion branch.
Once both sides can cooperate, our chances of winning will definitely be higher.
At this moment, Bai Tu had two choices before him.
The former is safe, but even if it can successfully eliminate Patton's fleet, it will most likely suffer greater casualties. The latter is risky, but the combat power is stronger. Once they cooperate, they can definitely defeat Patton's fleet chasing behind with less casualties.
Faced with this multiple-choice question, Bai Tu weighed the options in his mind and then made a quick decision.
"Pass the order down, change the route and move closer to the supporting fleet!"
Bai Tu made a decision that suited his style. Considering the size of the remaining fleet within the Barton Empire, if their Great Zhou fleet suffered heavy damage here, it would be troublesome! At the same time as making this decision, Bai Tu immediately ordered to send pterosaur riders again to meet with the pterosaur riders of the support fleet and convey the latest intelligence.
He believed that as long as the other party was not stupid enough, after understanding the situation, they would definitely send pterosaur riders again to convey the information.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
On the support fleet side, although Bo Levin is far inferior to Bai Tu in terms of command ability, he has also reached the excellent level of three stars. Coupled with the same three-star intelligence, he is destined not to be a fool.
The moment he received the message, Bo Levin made a prompt decision and issued the order without hesitation.
"Pass the order down. Transfer the barrels of explosives from the transport ship to the four speedboats as quickly as possible. Move as many as you can."
"After the transfer is completed, have the transport ship continue along the original route to the tropical island. The four speedboats will follow me to support the pioneering fleet!"
While giving the order, Bolevin did not forget to quickly give the pterosaur rider a few words, and then signaled him to take off again to convey the information.
They were ordered to go to the tropical island, and now halfway through, they encountered the pioneering fleet being chased by the enemy fleet. How could they just ignore it and continue on their way? Don't forget that their fundamental purpose this time is to support the pioneering fleet.
Bo Levin could still tell which of the two matters was more important.
Without Bai Tu knowing anything, the whole thing went much more smoothly than he had expected.
During this entire process, Patton's fleet, which was chasing far behind, obviously had no idea what was happening in the middle.
At the same time, having chased the enemy to this point, they had no intention of turning back and would pursue him to the end and fight with the Governor of the North Sea first.
Anyway, the captains of the two supporting fleets have already informed each other. If things go wrong in the end, the blame will definitely be placed on the bald head of the Governor of the North Sea!
With this mentality, the two support fleets began to unconditionally cooperate with the Governor of the North Sea to launch operations.
The Governor of Beihai knew clearly what those two guys were planning.
But he didn't care. For him, things had come to this point. All that mattered was that the support fleets from the East China Sea and the West China Sea obeyed his orders. He had no room to worry about other things.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. According to the previous calculation, the Great Zhou fleet led by Bai Tu was already halfway through its journey.
The shortened distance gradually improved the communication efficiency between the two sides.
After several communications, they felt at ease with each other.
After the distance was shortened to a certain extent, Bai Tu started to transfer the pterosaur riders who were moving with their fleet in advance.
After all, they only had four sets of explosive barrels left. In the subsequent battle, most of the pterosaur riders would have to obtain the explosive barrels from the support fleet and then carry out the bombing mission.
Let the pterosaur riders arrive in advance and be on standby, which will be more efficient.
A new day, after confirming the content of the latest summons, Bai Tu took a deep breath.
"The time has come. Order the entire fleet to prepare for battle!"
