Sitting at the long table in the captain's cabin, Dugall hesitated slightly.

In a desperate situation, the admiral finally fell into a dilemma - after realizing that he might not be able to leave easily, a difficult choice was placed in front of him.

Use the remaining sailing battleships to fight to the death, die in battle, or survive in disgraceful surrender?

If they fight to the end, the volunteer army's small sampans will not be able to touch the sailing battleship until the cannonballs are empty. This choice is worthy of Noxus, but the result can only be death.

If you choose to surrender, you may not die - but I am afraid that once the news gets out, your family will suffer - the men will be thrown out of the arena, and the women will simply become slaves.

The rapid changes on the battlefield caused Ducol to lose his calm for a while, but as everything came to an end, the admiral finally returned to normal.

Pinching his knuckles, Dugall made his choice. After thinking for a long time, he opened the drawer and took out the quill.

A piece of waterproof parchment printed with anti-counterfeiting patterns was spread out on the table. Ducol dipped it in ink and began to write a letter.

On the slightly bumpy ship, the admiral pursed his lips and wrote the beginning of this letter in the most cautious terms.

"Your Excellency Du Cucault..."

"When I wrote this letter in Tulu Bay, the Noxian Navy's Watch Sea Fleet had reached its final moments..."

"Failed to meet the empire's expectations, my plan ultimately failed..."

"The Ionians have used powers that we have never seen before. In this ancient land, there are many powers that we don't understand enough..."

"I'm very sorry, because the plan failed, the fleet was destroyed, and the Arcane Fist was destroyed again. All of this is my personal responsibility..."

"When there is no hope of breaking out, I will lead the soldiers to fight to the end, and take the initiative to destroy all sail battleships before I die..."

"I can guarantee that none of them will fall into the hands of the Ionians..."

"This war is completely different from the past. Ionia is a formidable opponent comparable to Demacia..."

"In this war, maybe the commander-in-chief should give us more support instead of repeatedly ordering us to find magic items..."

"..."

"..."

Ducuoer wrote down all his gains and lessons, and he filled a whole page without realizing it.

Finally, after Dugall signed his name, he took out the water-filled letterhead specially made by the war masons from the drawer, neatly folded the parchment in half twice, and put it into the letterhead.

"First mate, first mate!" After finishing all this, Dugall found a new set of general-style military uniforms from the closet. After putting them on, he put on his hat and gloves again, "Go and deliver this letter."

To the War Masons."

The first mate took the envelope and was about to turn around and leave when Dugall raised his chin slightly and added.

"At the same time, notify the lookouts, raise flags, and prepare to change course. After leaving the reef area, approach the coast and prepare for bombardment!"

After hearing this order, the first mate subconsciously widened his eyes - docking means engaging the volunteers. Although the sailing battleship has an absolute advantage in terms of firepower, with limited supplies and loss of maneuverability, engaging means

...died in battle.

"It's what you think." Dugall finally regained his usual pride, "Remember to ask the young man to leave a few barrels of gunpowder. The Leviathan cannot be left to the Ionians!"

High in the sky, Yasuo, who had been observing the situation of the Leviathan, soon discovered something had changed - Ducol appeared at the helmsman's position again, and on the observation deck again, the watchman began to wave flags frequently.

Viewed from a high altitude, the course of the entire fleet seemed to have changed, from fleeing the coast to parallel to the coast.

Yasuo immediately guessed Dugua's plan:

"They're going around the reef area!"

And making such a choice... also means that Dugall is ready to face death.

In a desperate situation, Ducaul finally showed his appearance as a Noxian soldier - but it was a pity for his few ships.

Yasuo dared to say that after Dugall made this decision, he was definitely prepared to sink the ship when he ran out of ammunition and food. Even if he was prepared, he could only save one or two ships.

In that case...then I'll give you a ride.

"Toothless, remember the location here, let's go back."

Toothless looked at the map, nodded, then turned around and flew towards the shore.

And just as Toothless left, among the seagulls surrounding the fleet, a skua quietly appeared.

……………………

Although Irelia was working hard, when Irelia came to the coast with the volunteers, the Noxian ship had already set sail. Just when Irelia was anxious, Toothless took the

Yasuo is back.

"How is it?" Irelia looked anxious, "Did Dugall escape?"

"He can't run away." Yasuo shook his head slightly, signaling Irelia to relax. "Their masts are all broken. They can't do without Larin just by rowing."

"Great!" After hearing this, Irelia was overjoyed, "Where are they now?"

"exist……"

Yasuo unfolded the map and handed it to Toothless - Toothless blinked, stuck out his wet tongue, and made a mark on the map.

"Here, this is it." Yasuo pointed to the map, "They have changed their route and seem to be planning to advance along the coast for one last desperate charge."

Looking at the map, Irelia frowned.

"If they continue to move forward, they will soon bypass the reef area and reach Tarucai Bay - we must keep up and be ready to intercept them at any time."

"This is what they want to see." Yasuo nodded, "Seeking an opportunity for a naval battle. Although he will die, he will also cause serious casualties to us."

"No matter what, this fleet must stay!" Even though she was a little reluctant, Irelia made a decisive decision, "If we don't keep the Noxians here, all the sacrifices will be made except for Sirana's.

It’s all in vain!”

"That's what I think too." Yasuo nodded, "But... we don't necessarily need to fight against the Noxians and forcibly pay for casualties."

"What should I say?" Irelia looked at Yasuo with some surprise, a look of expectation on her face, "Do you have any other ideas?"

"That's right." Yasuo nodded, "When we left the Noxians behind, Toothless and I discovered a special tactic... which is especially useful against these big ships."

"What tactic?"
