Blomayer knew it was time to show his capabilities; as the Supreme Commander of the Navy, he should demonstrate his usefulness somehow.
Thus, he began to contemplate. No one disturbed him, instead quietly waiting for this Rear Admiral to come up with a suitable countermeasure.
The warning fleet straight ahead had been attacked, so most likely the enemy fleet was on the route! This was Blomayer's conjecture.
Evidently, this conjecture was very reasonable: the best interception point for the adversary to come and block was right ahead on the Laines Empire fleet's route.
The distance? Blomayer cautiously estimated it to be around 80 to 120 kilometers. He believed he was already giving the Great Tang Empire Navy a lot of face with this.
