Anna didn't give in to Brian and slapped his hand away angrily. However, such a reaction was normal and within Brian's expectations.
In fact, Brian didn't really want to make a deal with Anna, because he liked Anna's 'spicy'. Therefore, if Anna gave in quickly, Brian would find it boring.
"Get out!" Anna glared at Brian and pointed at the door.
"Alright, if you've thought it through, come and find me yourself.”
"Shut up, you rascal, you're really disgusting!!!”
Anna picked up the cup on the table and threw it at Brian's back. However, Brian seemed to have eyes on his back. He easily turned around and caught the cup and put it to his mouth.
"The color of this lipstick is not bad, and there's a faint fragrance…Well, I'll accept this gift.”
As he said that, Brian pretended to kiss the lipstick stain on the cup.
" You're shameless!!!"
"Thank you for your praise."
Under Anna's embarrassed and angry gaze, Brian took the cup and left the office.
After Brian left, Anna sat back down and picked up the photo frame on the table. It was a photo of Anna and her brother.
"Brother, I will definitely avenge you!”
Anna clenched her fists, her knuckles pale from overexertion.
……
The next morning, the sky was not clear. The dark and heavy cumulus clouds in the distance seemed to be a warning of a storm.
In such weather, not to mention ordinary people, even the navy was not willing to go out to sea, let alone sailing and fighting in such weather. This sense of oppression made it difficult for people to calm down.
After the brief swearing-in ceremony, the 25 warships of the seventh division and the 36 warships brought by the other divisions temporarily formed a fleet of more than 60 warships.
"Governor, everything is ready.”
"Mobilize everyone and then set off!"
Governor Karl gave the order, and the branch officers returned to their warships and began to boost morale.
"For justice!"
"Justice will prevail!"
Although the officers were shouting at the top of their lungs in an attempt to boost morale, the soldiers under their command had gloomy expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they did not have a good feeling about this battle.
However, on the two warships with the ship number W291 and W292, the soldiers on the deck gathered in groups of three to five to eat and drink. Some even started to gamble, which made the navy on the warships waiting to set sail secretly click their tongues.
"Don't these guys know who their target is this time?”
"Who knows, but their military discipline is really bad.”
"Perhaps they are even worse than the navy of the Eastern Sea.”
The surrounding discussions did not seem to affect the mood of these ruffians. They continued to drink, eat, and gamble.
At this moment, Brian jumped onto the main mast of W291 with ease and shouted to the soldiers below,""Scumbags, our target this time is a fat sheep. If we kill them, I can bring you all to promotion and wealth!”
"Long live Lord Brian!"
"Long live Lord Brian!"
The soldiers began to cheer at the top of their lungs.
Brian's way of boosting morale surprised the navy in the port.
Governor Karl's facial muscles began to twitch. Although he knew that Brian liked to mess around, he did not expect him to lead troops like this. If such a person really became the commander of a fortress, what would happen...
Governor Karl shook his head hard, not daring to imagine.
……
The Gatley Strait was only 230 nautical miles away from the Governor's Office. If they sailed at full speed, they would only need about half a day to reach it.
On the governor's flagship, when the fleet entered the Gatling Strait, the adjutant Claire's uneasiness grew. Then, he said to Governor Karl with a worried expression,""Lord Governor, I think we should reformulate our battle plan.”
"Are you worried about Astona's intentions to go to the Gatley Strait?”
Although Governor-General Karl's strength was average, he was a wise general, so he knew what his subordinates were worried about.
" Yes," Claire nodded." I think Astona must have a special purpose. Otherwise, he wouldn't risk leaving his territory."”
In fact, Astor had been avoiding direct conflict with the West Ocean Navy all these years. He would also deliberately avoid large-scale fleets from West Ocean, and he would never stay in one place for more than three hours.
However, it was completely different this time. Not only did Aston leave his territory, but he also blatantly stayed in the Gatli Strait. I'm right here, come and catch me!
Although Aston was very strong and had escaped from the navy's encirclement many times, the cunning Aston was not a boor!
Before Governor Karl could say anything, he heard footsteps behind him.
"No matter what Astona's goal is, we've gathered a large fleet and military forces this time. We'll definitely be able to capture him.”
The one who spoke was Anna. She was dressed in military attire today, carrying a specially made carbine on her back and a tachi with a reddish-brown hilt on her waist. She looked more heroic than usual.
"Yes, we will definitely succeed!”the man behind Anna said.
This man was called Perot. He wasn't in the navy, but he had always had a crush on Anna, so he volunteered to fight. He wanted to use this opportunity to move Anna's heart with his manliness and military achievements.
"Yes." Governor-General Karl nodded, but his gaze was fixed on W291, who was not far away.
On the deck of W291, Brian was sitting on a leather sofa with a soldier pouring him wine.
He swirled the wine glass with one hand and looked ahead through the swaying red wine.
"Many people will die today."
Brian suddenly said.
The soldier holding the bottle was stunned for a moment before asking,""Sir, what did you just say?"
"Hehe, only the death of the weak can highlight the extraordinariness of the strong.”
Brian threw the wine glass in his hand to the side and said to the signalman behind him,""Tell everyone not to rush to attack after the battle begins.”
