A water column rose into the sky from the sea not far in front of the leading frigate. Then, it scattered high in the sky and turned into a mass of water splashes.
"Send down the order, everyone stop." Manager Aldel looked at the dense fleet in the distance and deeply knit his brows.
"What does the Kandla Empire navy want to do?"
After leading the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's third transport fleet out of Nissi Harbour, manager Aldel thought that since the weather was clear and the sea was calm, if nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to enter the sea area before nightfall. They would be able to start construction on the first island tomorrow.
In this way, the entire plan had a good start. His mission this time could be considered to have been completed perfectly.
But when they were less than three hundred kilometers away from Nissi Harbour, they met a large fleet with the Kandla Empire's flag.
Manager Aldel didn't think that this was strange at first. He thought that the Kandla Empire's navy had some mission or it was just a normal drill, so he was prepared to go around them after greeting them.
But he never thought that when they approached, the Kandla Empire's navy would throw several giant rocks that hit the sea in front of them as a warning.
This made Manager Aldrich very surprised.
Since the Kandla Empire's navy bought the three guard ships from the New Flyer, both sides had always cooperated and their relationship was quite good.
The New Flyer's transport fleet and guard fleet would often meet the Kandla Empire's navy on the southern seas, but nothing had ever happened. Rather they got along very well.
Why was it that the Kandla Empire's navy suddenly attacked them this time?
Manager Aldel looked up and found that the large transport Magic Ship he was on had the New Flyer's flag high up. It was very conspicuous, so it was impossible for the Kandla Empire's navy to mistake it.
While he was doubting this, a white guard ship slowly came out of the Kandla Empire's fleet.
After a while, manager Aldel's large transport Magic Ship came over with a Magic Communicator.
"Sir, we have received a communication request from the Kandla Empire's navy."
Manager Aldrich's frown deepened as he took the magic communicator and pressed a button on it.
"Hello, this is the manager of New Flyer's transportation company, Aldrich. May I ask which sir of the Kandla Empire's navy is on the other side?"
A deep but resonant middle-aged man's voice came from the magic communicator.
"This is the commander of the Kandla Empire's First Fleet, Mark Louis.
Manager Aldrich, on behalf of the Kandla Empire's navy, I would like to issue you a formal warning. The southern waters of the Kingdom of Ruhr are now under a complete blockade by the Empire's navy. No ships are allowed to pass without the permission of the Empire.
Your fleet has violated this prohibition, but since you belong to New Flyer, I can be lenient and allow you to return to the Principality of Constantine. "
"Huh?" Manager Aldrich blinked his eyes. He couldn't believe his ears.
"You said that you sealed off the southern waters of the Kingdom of Ruhr?
Are you serious? "
"Of course." Commander Louis's voice became very serious.
"This is the decision of the Empire's army headquarters, you don't have the right to resist.
I'll give you ten minutes to leave this area, otherwise you'll have to bear the consequences. "
"Bear the consequences?" Manager Aldrich couldn't help giving a cold laugh in his heart.
Although the Kandla Empire's fleet had over a hundred ships, he didn't put them in his eyes at all.
This was because the Kandla Empire's fleet only had the three guard ships they bought from New Flyer. Compared to the ten guard ships they had, their battle strength wasn't on the same level at all.
The only thing to worry about was that the other two large transport Magic Ships were much slower than the guard ships and didn't have many military magic machines, so they didn't have any battle strength at all.
If they fought, the two large transport Magic Ships would become a burden.
But the main problem wasn't their battle strength. The main problem was that it was impossible for them to really fight the Kandla Empire's fleet.
Even if they won this battle, it would be equal to the New Flyer declaring war on the Kandla Empire.
The consequences of this would be very serious, so manager Aldrich didn't dare do this.
After thinking about it, manager Aldrich tentatively said, "Commander Louis, we are just doing normal business according to the company's plan, it won't affect your ban at all, right?"
"No!" Commander Louis's firm reply came from the Magic Communicator.
"You've violated this prohibition by entering this region of the sea during this period of time.
If it wasn't for the sake of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, we would have sunk you first.
I'll warn you again, immediately leave this area! "
Manager Aldrich was a bit angry, but looking at the over a hundred ships with the Kandla Empire's flag on them, he could only give a bitter laugh and say with a sigh, "Alright, we'll go back now.
Commander Louis, regarding what happened today, I will definitely go back and report it to Sir President. "
This was a small counterattack that he wasn't willing to give up.
However, commander Louis didn't move at all and there was a cold laugh that came from the Magic Communicator.
"Even if chairman Xu was here, he would make the same choice as you."
Manager Aldrich helplessly shook his head before nodding to his assistant beside him.
"Send down the order, everyone will return to Nissi Harbour first."
The two large transport Magic Ships and ten guard ships of the New Flyer's third transport fleet turned around and prepared to return to Nissi Harbour.
Who would have thought that when they moved, there would be two large sounds that came from nearby.
Aldrich turned in a daze and saw two large drops of water falling down.
After being stunned for a bit, he picked up the Magic Communicator and said in a sharp voice, "Commander Louis, what do you mean by this?"
Commander Louis' cold voice came from the Magic Communicator.
"Manager Aldrich, did your fleet just leave the Kingdom of Ruhr?"
"So what if we did?"
Manager Aldrich swallowed these words and forced himself to calm down before asking back in a deep voice, "How is this related to you?"
"I think you should know that our Kandla Empire has already placed a complete blockade on the Kingdom of Ruhr. If you just left the Kingdom of Ruhr, you would have violated this ban.
I have reason to suspect that your ships have people and goods related to the Kingdom of Ruhr.
I want you to immediately stop and accept our inspection. "
"This is simply going too far!"
Manager Aldrich was filled with rage, but his rationality told him that he couldn't be angry right now, otherwise he would be accused of something.
After taking a deep breath, Manager Aldrich forced himself to calm down again and said in a deep voice, "Commander Louis, your suspicions are without reason.
We can leave according to your request, but we can't let you search our ships. "
"If you refuse this request, then we will think that you are hiding something," Commander Louis said coldly.
Commander Louis said coldly, "If you're still not willing to cooperate, then don't blame us for being rude."
"Manager, the Kandla Empire's ships are moving." The deputy on the side suddenly reminded in a low voice.
Manager Aldrich looked up and saw that the Kandla Empire's fleet in the distance was indeed moving slowly and surrounding them.
From this posture, it was clear that they were planning to surround them and not leave any room for escape.
"Manager, what do we do now?"
Manager Aldrich narrowed his eyes and looked at the approaching Kandla Empire's fleet. He took a few deep breaths, pulled the deputy over, and whispered in his ear, "If anything happens, the ten frigates will immediately choose to break out. Do not hesitate."
The deputy was stunned, "Then what about those two ships?"
"Those two ships are too slow, it's hard for them to escape. Just leave them here." After saying this, manager Aldrich gritted his teeth as his heart filled with pain.
Since he was the manager of the New Flyer's third transport fleet, he had never let anything happen to the ships under him. He never thought that the first time there was a problem, he would have to abandon two expensive large transport Magic Ships. This was quite a big loss.
"But … …"
"No buts." Manager Aldrich interrupted his assistant.
Manager Aldrich cut him off, "It's impossible for us to fight the Kandla Empire, so we can only run now."
The deputy's expression changed before he finally nodded and accepted this order.
"Quickly prepare, I'll stall for some time."
Manager Aldrich patted his shoulder and had him leave before opening the Magic Communicator again.
"Commander Louis, please stop. I'm willing to accept your request."
"Oh?" Commander Louis was a bit surprised.
"You're willing to let us search?"
"Yes." Manager Aldrich replied.
"But this matter is too important, so if I agree without permission, I will definitely be punished when I return to the company.
So I hope that commander Louis can give me some time to contact sir chairman or sir CEO and explain the situation. "
"Contact chairman Xu?" There was a trace of disbelief in commander Louis' voice.
Commander Louis' voice was filled with doubt, "This place is over two thousand kilometers away from the Principality of Constantine, how will you contact Chairman Xu?"
"Our company has a special method that can allow me to contact sir chairman in a short amount of time.
Commander Louis, can you give me half an hour? "
"Are you certain that you can get a reply from Chairman Xu in half an hour?"
"I'm certain."
The Magic Communicator was silent for a bit before the Kandla Empire's fleet that was approaching slowly stopped.
But these ships still spread out on the sea and surrounded all the ships of the New Flyer's third transport fleet.
"I'll give you half an hour.
If you don't reply in half an hour, I won't wait any longer. "Commander Louis' cold voice came from the Magic Communicator again.
"Alright."
Manager Aldrich replied. After a while, a Magic Airship suddenly flew out of manager Aldrich's large transport Magic Ship, quickly heading northwest towards the endless seas.
