Chapter 1020: The First Naval Battle

That flag from the British Chamber of Commerce is already getting closer and closer.

From far away, Luojinsi can already use his Telescope to see his old friend, Luoweier!

"Hahahaha, you bastard Luoweier, you've come again!"

As the Merchant Ship slowly approached, Luojinsi shouted out in excitement.

Luoweier also laughed out loud: "You fellow Luojinsi, you've still got some tricks up your sleeve; this time, your name is being spread all over Britain!"

Hearing this, Luojinsi became even happier, and his ambitious gaze began to look toward the dozen or so Merchant Ships.

Luoweier laughed heartily: "What, are you worried I might have lost your people? Bring them all up!"

He waved his hand grandly.

The British soldiers began to bring the prisoners from Britain up from below the deck, team by team. These people had been severely ravaged along the way; sailing the sea is not that easy.

Even in this era where medical conditions are not great, a normal mortality rate during sea voyages is acceptable. Therefore, as soon as some of these people left the dark, sunless deck, they vomited immediately.

Luojinsi did not frown; he also knew this was a normal situation.

Looking at these men, women, and children, he still laughed out loud: "Good, good, good!"

He seemed to have already foreseen that he would personally build a country in Australia with his own hands!

Ambition!

Such a large continent is enough to carry and fulfill his ambition!

These prisoners were also full of curiosity when they arrived here.

Is this Australia?

It seems that it doesn't look as bad as they imagined?

The surrounding environment is full of a primitive flavor, but compared to Britain, which has just entered the Industrial Revolution and is filled with smog, the environment here can simply be called Heaven. If this is the place where they will struggle in the future, they are quite willing.

Their emotions were all quite stable.

This also put Luojinsi's mind at ease.

He had already prepared the living quarters for these people a month ago.

He first gave a speech in front of these ten thousand prisoners.

Naturally, it was to encourage them to take root in Australia and then build Australia; here they have their own freedom, here they have their new life, and here naturally they also have their home. Luojinsi's eloquence was decent, so he made the scene very enthusiastic.

Only then did he send people to take them to their respective living quarters.

After all, having just arrived at this place, they still need to adapt for a few days; things like failing to acclimatize can easily cause plagues.

"You kid, are you satisfied this time?"

Only then did Luoweier walk over and pat Luojinsi's shoulder hard.

Luojinsi chuckled: "Luoweier, from now on, the whole of Australia will be our world! I must take Longyan for the Empire!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

However.

No one expected it.

The next moment, another dark mass of ships appeared on the sea surface.

The watchtower responsible for guarding discovered this problem at the first moment.

"What is that?"

"They've come again?"

"Is this the second batch? Did they arrive so quickly?"

The suddenly appearing Warships made everyone at the scene exclaim.

Luojinsi also exchanged a look with Luoweier.

The second batch?

How could it be so fast? Luoweier was even more confused; someone else was responsible for the second batch, and while it wasn't impossible for them to arrive in Australia on the same day, it was unlikely.

It's just...

Can the collection of these people really be this fast?

Luojinsi looked at this dark mass.

Good fellow.

Sending more people to him again?

Hahahaha!

His happiness was beyond words. He is currently short of people; the more people there are, the faster Australia will develop!

"Good!"

"This batch is probably about twenty thousand people, right?"

"Hahahaha, then my first phase of the project can begin!"

Thinking of this, Luojinsi became high-spirited.

The others were also extremely excited.

They didn't expect that good things would follow one after another today. Moreover, Luojinsi, who could be considered the first person to discover Australia, would never have thought that there were other people at this time who would know of the existence of this continent, nor would he think that someone had long been plotting to seize this place.

Therefore.

He did not take any precautions.

The ships seen through the Telescope at this time were only tall, and because there were no flags on them, nothing could be made out; only their silhouettes could be seen.

Xie Fang and Su Qi stood at the bow of the ship; the Telescopes in their hands were products of Yintan City, and they had long since taken in everything on the pier.

Seeing that the other side had almost no defenses, the two also felt it was quite marvelous.

"Heh, they've already signaled with flags over there, thinking we're one of their own, hahahaha!"

Su Qi laughed heartily.

Yintan City had a specialized department dedicated to collecting the flag signals and battle drum patterns of various military forces around the world, and they had conducted in-depth research specifically on the British navy, so he was not at all unfamiliar with British flag signals.

"Oh? Does that mean we can get a bit closer before we strike?"

Xie Fang was also incredibly excited to hear this.

At this moment.

The cannons on the Yinzhou warship were already prepared to fire two rounds in succession.

"Closer!"

"Closer!"

Xie Fang and Su Qi began to watch the situation over there nervously through their Telescope.

Once the people at the wharf started to panic, that would be the moment they opened fire, because once they panicked, it would mean they had definitely realized this side was not their own.

Sure enough.

They got a bit closer.

They got a bit closer.

Luojinsi was still immersed in his joy when suddenly, a voice came from the lookout tower: "Something's wrong, this isn't our ship!"

"It's not!"

"These aren't British Merchant Ships or Warships!"

"What?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Luojinsi also picked up his Telescope and stared intently.

This...

The size and shape of these ships were completely unlike anything he recognized!

Luojinsi's heart skipped a beat, and he finally realized that although he couldn't believe it, it was obvious that someone was attacking!

His expression changed violently: "Alert, alert!"

Alert!

All hands on alert!

Over at Daxi Wharf, everyone began to panic, each pulling out their own Musket and Cannon.

However.

It was already too late.

The Yinzhou warship here was just waiting for you to panic.

"Fire!"

Xie Fang let out a roar.

The uniform Cannons, the Cannons from Yintan City, which were also almost the most powerful Cannons in this world, fired instantly and flew accurately toward Daxi Wharf.
