The ships had sailed where they sailed not, conflicted with this testament that the Florentines had to start a war with those costumes that they borrowed. Al-Jimen had discussed such secretive affairs to a man he and Enrique can trust for the masquerading. Ottoman Naval Commander of the Ottoman Fleet, Alfred De Bastionne.
His career has strengthened him to resolve this issue without alerting the officers and giving Enrique Gousimmo time to flee and evacuate. While they fight off with the Venetians with the statement and excuse of having the conflict as such - a patrol. In this patrol, he and his men must and knowingly report a conflict afflicted by only tactics and strategies benefiting a patrol, not a total war.
In here, their main objective is to make Enrique Gousimmo fall back while perpetrating as a stand off in the sea of the Adriatic Sea.
"Al-Jimen! I see Enrique, masquerading now as a trader I see, switching flags of black to those of white!" - Alfred De Bastionne
"Yes, I do see their desperate??" - Al-Jimen
"All men, supporting cover, we let the winds sail towards those ships! On the ready, chaaaa!!!" - Alfred De Bastionne
To ensure that the Venetians pay attention to them. They started communicating with one another with command flags. Then, to ensure they pin attention to themselves. They communicated in battle stances that allowed their movements to be spotted and the Venetians to spot with their telescopes, their actions that they have committed.
"Bonicario! Sir! Son drio notar conportamento stragno da navi ottomane." - Bavarian Councilmen Ludewig the Fourth
"I see, they want to battle, we give them battle!" - Sea Captain Bonicario Pennecio
This move, encouraged the Venetian game to switch gears and move towards their location. Redirecting their attention from Enrique Gousimmo towards the Ottoman Fleet of Alfred De Bastionne.
Thus, saves the people of Enrique Gousimmo in the fight against the Venetians and onwards are letting them retreat before surrender of what seems to be Venetian fleet patroling the seas.
In this desperate attempt to save Enrique Gousimmo, the Ottoman Fleet and the Venetian Fleet suddenly rushed against one another in a battle that will turn out angering more both factions from starting a war in Croatia.
At their exit, an ottoman ship rushed near the coast from the Ottoman right, then the three other large vessels move forward towards the Venetians. While the Venetians head two of their ships maintaining guard against Enrique Gousimmo while at the same time positioning themselves in with the Ottoman ships. Then the remaining two to put forth forward at the gap maintaining the Ottoman positions between the advancing right and the three large vessels heading towards them.
The strategy of the Venetians is to make a breakthrough in the right of the Ottomans, cutting both the right flanker and the main body, while seigeing the other three ships of the ottomans in the left as the one both stops, and the other both advances in their back, thereby surrounding them.
To counter this move, the right flanker of the ottoman will have to rush a cutting through the ships by advancing at a fast pace and then locking the 2 ships advancing in their right gap to put them at a death lock and make them unable to move.
Countering this is the separation of the two ships. The one in the right acted as bait and the other seeps through the gap to maintain positions of locking the three ships.
To escape from this trap, the ottomans head two of the other ships from their left to counter the Venetian right. Which then begins to be a stalemate. As they stop them on their tracks. Now that the ottomans have gained the advantage, they remove further contact by retreating as the battle lost its means as Enrique Gousimmo already have fleed.
The exit strategy is now that the right flanker was signal to make a curvature towards the long exit and back out of the Venetian expansion, while the other from behind follows, and the other two supporting them.
The end result is the eventual slowdown, changing of positions, and latter, organized retreat from the two positions. Both circling one another for comfort of position, allowing the Ottomans to retreat and disengage. As it was happening, the Venetians too recognizing the retreat, to back off too. They don't want to be trapped in the sea filled with reinforcing Ottomans if ever they pushed forward in a chase. Thus, fled back as well for reporting and organizing of their facts to the higher ups and their officials.
This solidified their stance for the war against the Ottomans even more.
