Around this incident, the entire Gallic port directly launched a thorough investigation. Every fool knew that those mines could not be conjured out of thin air. Someone must have placed the mines there.

However, after a thorough investigation, no results were found.

Since the war started, every port along the coast has been patrolled 24 hours a day by patrol teams. Coupled with the warning of the maritime lighthouse, the entire defense line can be said to be extremely tight.

In this case, if someone drives a boat and carries so many mines to the sea outside the port to lay them out, there is basically no chance that they will not be discovered, unless they are all blind!

This result obviously did not satisfy the minister responsible for thoroughly investigating this matter.

"It's impossible for someone to lay so many mines in that area? Do you think the emperor will accept this answer? Colonel, one month! You only have one month! You must find out a result for me, otherwise,

You and I are both going to die!!"

The minister's words were not at all polite.

How huge was the loss caused by the sinking of the three battleships? It is no exaggeration to say that it was an astronomical sum.

Moreover, it is still a war period, when battleships are needed most! If something like this happens at this time, the situation will be even more serious!

Recalling the gloomy and frightening expression on their emperor's face at that time, the minister had no doubt at all. If no results were found, the emperor would probably kill them alive!

However, what they don't know is that according to the direction of their investigation, they will not be able to find a result even until their death...

Through the vision provided by the Elf Druid, the movement of the Gallic fleet is always locked. With the speed of the lightning fleet, it can be said that it is always one step ahead of them.

There is a lighthouse in the port area, and they cannot get close to it, but the underwater combat troops accompanying the army this time have no problem at all!

With sufficient vision during the day, and with a little more effort, the water lizard warriors can sneak all the way under the sea with mines and complete the mine placement.

Even if you surface to take a breath midway, with such a small unit and the distance cover, it is impossible for the opponent to notice it.

In this era, the removal of mines and landmines is extremely troublesome and difficult, and it also carries huge risks. It is impossible to complete it in a short time, let alone that the entire area is full of them.

There are mines, and I don’t know if the beach next to it is safe...

For the sake of safety, to repair the warships in a timely manner, and to replenish supplies, the Gallic fleet had to move towards the next port.

During this period, Wang Sheng, who had confirmed the other party's movements, could not just let them go.

During the past few months of the expedition, they had already mapped this sea area clearly.

His eyes quickly scanned the map. After confirming the movement direction of the Gallic fleet, according to their current emergency situation, they would definitely move towards the port closest to their location. He could even roughly guess the navigation route.

.

In this way, knowing the opponent's destination and relying on the speed advantage of the light warship, Wang Sheng naturally wanted to run in front of the Gallic fleet...

Above the sea, a Gallic fleet with low morale was on its way to the next port.

The previous encounter left the soldiers of the Gallic Navy in a bad state. Even the commander-in-chief of the fleet had a cloudy expression. He only hoped to find out the result of the previous incident quickly!

As a fleet that has been on an expedition for a long time, it would be attacked by terrorists when it returned to the port. This was simply something he could not imagine.

According to this statement, where else is peace for them?

However, just when he was thinking this, there was a sudden explosion from the front of the fleet, which made his whole heart suddenly hang in his throat.

"What's going on?! What happened?!"

While asking a series of questions, he rushed out of his captain's room.

"Report, report to the general, the destroyer No. 051 located in front of the fleet seems to have hit a mine..."

The commander-in-chief's heart visibly twitched when he heard this.

Mine? What the hell is a mine?!

At this moment, he felt like he was going crazy. Where did those damn mines come from?!

The destroyer that hit the mine turned around almost immediately, only to hit two more mines in a row.

The small and fragile body of the destroyer was no match for the thickly armored battleship. Three mines directly led to their sinking.

The following destroyers, which could not control their forward inertia, also followed in their footsteps.

On the ship that was about to sink, the crew lowered the lifeboats one after another, or jumped off the ship and escaped.

But when they reached the surface of the sea, they discovered another problem...

Don't dare to move! At this moment, the crew members who escaped from the sunken destroyer just fell on the sea and didn't dare to move at all!

Does anyone know if there are any mines deployed under the surrounding sea?

The mine had previously hit the destroyer, but they still had a chance to escape.

And now, if they trigger another mine, they may end up drowning in the sea...

It has to be said that in this wave, Wang Sheng's small change of tactics once again caught the Gallic fleet by surprise.

Before, he placed mines near the port because he could not figure out the return route of the Gallic fleet and had little certainty.

But this time it was different. The Gallic fleet almost moved along the coastline, and it was too easy to see clearly.

Of course, these successive successes did not make Wang Sheng get carried away.

His lightning strike fleet still maintained its hidden state.

Because he knew very well that the Gallic fleet on the opposite side, even if it stood motionless, could kill their small fleet in the daytime.

If you are confused and cannot figure this out, and charge forward with more than a dozen destroyers, you are simply seeking to make yourself miserable.

Next, just let the commander-in-chief of the Gallic fleet slowly become suspicious.

Anyway, with this wave, their goal has been achieved, clearly reducing the naval combat power of the Gallic fleet!

In this way, the Lightning Strike Fleet, which had been completely invisible from beginning to end, quietly retreated.

After receiving the news that their fleet had been continuously attacked by mines, the Gallic players' expressions could be said to be ugly for a moment, and they even began to wonder if a rebel organization had emerged in their empire. I want to fight against him, after all, similar things have happened many times in the past hundreds of years!
