Starting Life as a Baron

8: Decline in War? Come out, my sea cavalry!

Because of Alan's reminder, the Lane Principality won the first encounter with the opponent with zero casualties.

Then the fleet left the islands, which took a lot of time.

"Attention everyone, prepare for battle!"

An hour later, Alan and the others encountered the fleet of Blue Moon Principality once again.

At this moment, not far from them, the densely packed ships of the Blue Moon Principality were blocking their path.

In the next moment, the ships of the two sides got closer.

In this world without gunpowder, the only means of a long-range attack seemed to be magic.

In normal combat, even knights could only fight in close quarters.

"Brothers, warriors, kill them! Kill all these bastards, and the Blue Moon Principality will win!"

The sailing ships of the Blue Moon Principality headed towards the fleet of the Lane Principality.

"Mages use magic attacks!"

"Archers get ready. Fire when the enemy gets close!"

"All the cavalrymen, get off your horses and look for them. Let them know that we are not to be trifled with!"

Alan shouted with a calm expression.

Immediately afterward, magic and arrows shot out from Alan and the nearby ships, toward the ships that were approaching them.

Because of the mages, Alan and the others' attacks were very effective and ten sailing ships of the opponent were destroyed.

"Damn it, they have mages!"

"Concentrate your strength and kill the mages first!"

The people of the Blue Moon Principality were not fools. After suffering a short-term loss, they immediately adjusted their tactics and drove their ships towards Alan and the others.

"Hurry up and defend! Damn it, protect the mages!"

Earl Albert's voice spread throughout the whole fleet.

However, it was useless. The Lane Principality was originally a mainland country, and its sailors and captains were far inferior to the Blue Moon Principality.

Although it also had three-masted sailing ships, the Blue Moon Principality was maritime, and naval warfare was its strong point.

This became apparent very quickly.

After the Blue Moon Principality determined the target, they concentrated their efforts and ripped open a hole in the fleet of the Lane Principality before they could even react.

All of a sudden, the entire fleet of the Lane Principality fell into chaos.

At the same time, the fleet of the Blue Moon Principality was heading straight for Alan and the others.

"Damn it!"

Earl Albert couldn't sit still because the prince and the princess were on this ship.

He instantly soared into the sky and his battle Qi erupted, ready to rescue Alan and the others.

But in the next moment, a voice that Alan was familiar with appeared.

"Hahaha, Thorn Flower Earl, Albert, I don’t think it's good for you to intervene in this battle as a golden knight?"

Earl Angry Bear Earl's laughter rang out. He was already in the fleet, waiting for Albert to take action.

As far as the Blue Moon Principality’s naval battle was concerned, Earl Angry Bear was extremely confident. After living at sea for so many years, it was impossible for a mainland country to defeat them in the naval battle.

"Humph! Is a mere seventh-level knight worthy of being presumptuous in front of me?"

Albert wore a golden knight armor with a Thorn Flower pattern. He waved his longsword and terrifying sword energy swept across the entire surface of the sea. Even the Earl Angry Bear didn't dare to face it head-on and could only retreat.

"If one won't work, then how about two?"

When Earl Angry Bear was retreating, another knight who also wore golden knight armor suddenly appeared on the right side of Albert.

He was also a seventh-level golden knight!

Albert's expression became slightly solemn.

He retracted his long sword and swung it at the golden knight who was rushing toward him.

"Hmph! I have long wanted to see the Thorn Flower Earl's Wind Lord Sword!"

The man showed a smile. Instead of retreating, he also swung his sword.

"Boom!"

Two sword energies exploded in the sky.

Albert's body didn't move, but his opponent's body couldn't withstand the power of an eighth-level knight and flew backward.

"It's just two clowns. The Principality of the Sea will honestly stay at sea. The mainland is not something that you weaklings can touch!"

Albert had a cold look on his face because he was unable to rescue Alan and the others at this moment.

After all, he was facing two seventh-level knights.

A trace of yearning appeared in Alan’s eyes as he watched the battle between the three golden knights in gold knight armor.

"What a powerful existence! That’s a golden knight!"

Marco’s voice was filled with longing.

Alan smiled and said: "Marco, this is not the time to pay attention to them!"

Alan's words brought Marco back to his senses, and he realized that more than a dozen ships of the Blue Moon Principality were about to reach them.

"His Highness, Princess, please go to the cabin for a while!"

Alan's eyes showed a trace of fighting intent.

"No, I want to fight with you!"

Leonard looked solemn. He did not expect the Blue Moon Principality's maritime combat power to be so powerful that they easily tore through his defenses.

"Lexie, you can hide with the mage squad. After all, mages do not have the strength to fight in close combat!"

Leonard said loudly.

Lexie immediately nodded and said, "Got it. Brother Leonard, you have to be more careful."

Just as Alan was about to make his move, a sixth-level knight on the sailing ship of the Blue Moon Principality that was approaching Alan and the others burst out laughing.

"Little guys, obediently wait to die!"

"Brothers, come on, kill these little guys, and those mages and the Blue Moon Principality will win!"

"Come on!"

"The Blue Moon Principality will win!"

The knights of the Blue Moon Principality laughed as they asked people to bring their ships closer.

"Alan, if you have a chance, take my sister and leave first!"

Leonard had a solemn expression on his face. The current situation had exceeded his expectations.

"His Highness, don't worry. Although their Blue Moon Principality's naval power is indeed powerful, it doesn’t matter."

Alan smiled. His expression was calm, not showing any panic.

It was not just him. All the warriors around him also had calm expressions on their faces. They even looked at the people of the Blue Moon Principality as if they were looking at someone dead.

Leonard was stunned. He looked at Alan's calm face and a thought came to his mind.

Could it be that this young Baron had a backup plan?

No, it's impossible. He's just a Baron. What can he do?

As Leonard was thinking about it, he heard Alan speak loudly beside him.

"Hey! The idiots on the opposite side, have you seen the angry look of the sea?!"

Alan's words caused the people of the Blue Moon Principality to burst into laughter.

"Little bastard, I have lived in the sea since I was young. What have I never seen?!"

A sixth-level knight showed a cruel smile and said, "Just wait, I'll let you know what despair is!"

Alan smiled when he heard this. "No, there's no need to wait. Now, I'll show you what despair is and what is a true overlord of the sea!"

"Come out, my sea cavalry!"
