Realm of Power

"What's that sound outside?"

Congolese Minister of Military Affairs Rubinthack, who was reviewing the document, raised his head in confusion, frowned slightly, lowered his head, and continued to examine the report that had just been sent back from the front line. The firelight of the fireplace shone on his overworked face. , the age is not forgiving, the white-haired famous general Gang Fei is already old now, partly due to physical reasons, and partly due to the recent frequent mistakes in the strategic direction of the empire, which makes this old man who fully supports the imperial affairs , also became powerless

"Rumble" was another rolling muffled thunder, and the dazzling white light flashed out of the dark window.

Rubinsack couldn't sit still for some reason. He always felt that the winter thunder that suddenly sounded tonight was a bit weird, as dense as raindrops. He glanced curiously out of the window, and a flash of light illuminated his pupils again. The windows were rattled by the violent thunder, and the chaotic sound of some raindrops hitting the ground could still be heard.

"Come here, let's go see what's going on outside?" The Minister of Military Affairs, whose hair was as white as silver needles, suddenly stood up. He felt that his desk was shaking, and the ink in the bottle was fluctuating left and right. This was completely abnormal. phenomenon,

"Sir, it's bad! There's chaos outside!" The adjutant who had been following him for many years hurried in from outside.

"What happened? Are you so panicked?"

An ominous feeling flashed through Rubinsack's mind. Having been his partner for many years, he knew very well how meticulous his adjutant was. Even in the hottest summer, he would button up the most collared military buttons at will. by sweat

"The city is burning, my lord!"

The adjutant's incoherent expression looked like he had seen a ghost.

"What is burning? Speak clearly!" Rubinsack snorted,

The adjutant gasped in embarrassment. He said loudly, "Just now, a dense explosion suddenly appeared on the west side of the port, and then countless streams of light rose from the sea of ​​the port, causing countless casualties in the west area!

"Meteor? Are you kidding!"

Rubinsack's expression changed. As a veteran who had experienced the brutal fighting of more than 100,000 troops. Only then would he believe the theory of shooting stars. Pushing aside his somewhat incoherent deputy, he hurriedly walked to the glass window of the office. As the curtains of the window opened, he was stunned by the sight in front of him. The sight in front of him could be described as spectacular. describe. Lines of white light slowly rose from the sea outside the port, with extremely dazzling light tails, flying hundreds of meters across the sea, and falling densely in the city.

From the office high up in the Ministry of Military Affairs building, one could just see the rows of flashing red firelights on the sea where the light points flew from. It's like the whole fire spirit is jumping, and every time it flickers, it's like a whole field of light spots flying out like raindrops,

"It's the Thunder God of the Falcon Navy!" Rubinsack clasped his hands and stared at the sea. With just one glance, he recognized this terrifying weapon that was specially mentioned in many intelligence reports. This is not a meteor, but a terrifying weapon that massacred 40,000 lives on Caesili Island. Especially when looking at the spectacle of more than 300 thunder gods firing at the same time, there is no doubt that this is not a meteor. You know Then this was a deliberate revenge attack.

"Asshole, what is the Navy doing! Where is the cruise fleet tonight? Do those guys think this is a meteor?" Rubinsack angrily threw off the curtains in his hands, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was livid with anger. . The Imperial Kyoto, which had not experienced war for decades, encountered the killings of a barbaric nation today! , exploded, and the west side of the port was shrouded in raging fire. Tonight will be the greatest shame for the Congo Empire!

"Boom" A high-rise building was hit from the middle. Blossoming, rubble sputtered, as if a piece had been cut off. It could no longer support the weight of the entire floor, tilted to the right, and quickly collapsed. The falling shells exploded in the streets and buildings, and the huge smoke waves rolled up. The shop windows on both sides of the street were heavily shattered, falling into the scattered crowds outside, and there was a bloody light. The latest Thor bombs were filled with a large number of iron pieces. With the violent explosion, the people on the street were scattered in all directions. Countless light spots hit, and they fell down in pieces

Some shells directly hit high-rise buildings, even passing through brick walls or windows, and exploded directly inside the high-rise buildings. The consequences were even more serious. The entire building was completely shattered from the inside out, and the flying bricks seemed to have fallen. Like rain, the surrounding Gangfei people were smashed with blood all over the ground. Many people were even directly submerged by the torrent of bricks. The streets were full of blood. The thick blood flowed down the street drains into the sewers.

There was blood and mutilated limbs everywhere. Gang Feiren lay on the ground in fear. They could only hear the roar coming from time to time. Then they followed the roar and looked for it. In addition to seeing blood lying all over the ground, They found nothing but the scene of wounded and dead bodies;

Facing violent explosions. There were also corpses falling continuously, and most of the people in Gangfei were stunned.

Among the buildings in the city, they could not see the presence of the naval fleet from the sea at all. They had no idea what caused the explosion. The black smoke that shot straight into the sky was like a scar on this great city. Most of the Gang Fei The man did not realize that he was being bombarded by another Imperial Navy fleet.

"You bastards in the navy!" Duke Rubinthack, the Minister of Military Affairs of Congo and Africa, who witnessed this scene, cursed angrily. Under his sight, the solid appearance of a four-story noble building was hit by a white light like a flowing arrow. , exploded in the center, creating a huge and scary hole. Then, two more white lights penetrated from the hole one after another, triggering a violent explosion inside.

With bulging eyes, Rubinsack saw a scene that this generation will never forget. He only saw a tall villa with a height of four floors. Like a drunken giant, his whole body suddenly trembled, and then collapsed layer by layer. , one layer after another, the broken bricks were like a torrent, smashing everything below to pieces with an unstoppable attitude. The Gangfei nobles who were hiding under the podium were smashed to the ground without mercy, and Those hiding inside were all buried alive.

In the face of such a disaster, civilians were as equal as nobles. The servants scattered in panic, screaming and running out of the falling bricks like a torrent. Everything that happened here was beyond their ability to accept and understand. For a while, they were not fully aware of it. Why would something like this happen to me. In the midst of destruction, they have only one simplest thought, and that is to escape!

"What a pity!" The only person who expressed dissatisfaction with this effect was probably Falcon Fleet Commander Tigel. He put down the observation glass in his hand with a stern expression, and regretfully rubbed his cold hands. Fighters were rare. I accidentally got into Gangfei Kyoto. If I couldn't achieve the expected results, I would really feel like I had to return empty-handed.

The fleet's artillery fire was very fierce in the naval battle, but facing this huge city covering an area of ​​fifty miles, all it could do was harass it for a period of time. The shells from the main guns of the two dragon-class battleships in the fleet continued to fly towards the city, causing huge explosions. Even with the naked eye, you can see a huge halo hernia, that unstoppable power , landslides and landslides

But in Tigger's view, even the Flax Butterfly main gun. The moment of the explosion was just a small point of light that occasionally flashed out from the backbone of this huge city, and it was like a few small drops of water falling into the sea. It was unable to create an overwhelming and devastating effect.

"Order the fleet to turn around and clean up all the enemy's port facilities. Since we can't achieve greater results, let this become a dead port!"

Tigre turned around and ordered. As the flagship order was issued, each warship began to turn. The Thor gun muzzle originally facing the side of the port was neatly aimed at the port of the Confederate Navy. The battleships lying flat inside made all the captains' eyes light up, like a group of lambs being stared at by hungry wolves. Although the Gangfei navy suffered heavy losses, the Gangfei navy of all sizes parked in the port at the moment There are still more than 70 warships. Among them, there are 25 main battleships.

"Rumble..."

The Dragon Tooth Battleship on the sea simultaneously burst out with flames of death. The hull of the Dragon Tooth Battleship "cracked", and under the huge recoil force, the entire battleship seemed to be shattered. The shells continuously spit out from the muzzle streaked across the vast sea, with a harsh whistling sound in the air, dragging a long black tail, and crashed down mercilessly.

Boom, boom, with continuous loud noises, red fire exploded among the densely docked Gangfei warships,

Dazzling firelight, explosions and screams were faintly heard, and the sky in the port instantly became brighter. More than ten lines of black smoke shot straight into the sky, rising from the most conspicuous large warships in the opposite port. .

With the intensive sound of gunfire, the continuous shells fell like raindrops on the crowded port, blowing up the Gangfei battleship and causing it to stagger and turn into a mess. Countless warships exploded and caught fire under fierce gunfire on the sea.

The firelight illuminated the sky

The burning ships affected the surrounding warships, causing the burning area to become larger and larger. The sudden falling shells brought the fire to every corner of the port. Some warships were even directly hit by the shells. With a bang, the entire ship was ejected from it. It broke and sank into the sea water, leaving huge whirlpools one after another on the sea surface.

The port of Kyoto was burning under the attack of what they saw as a barbarian fleet. Linscale's fleet, which had just docked in the port, became the best gun target in the port. The sailors ran out of the port in panic and ran away immediately. They boarded their warships, which turned out to be densely arranged. For more than ten minutes under the bombardment, not a single warship could rush out of the port. The expensive warships turned into a pile of scrap wooden boards on the sea. The half-tilted hull was in a mess, lying in various directions.

Floating ship planks, sailors struggling in the water, burning wreckage of warships, Linscale's flagship Cobring, because of its largest size and the warship that suffered the most gunfire, has sunk forever in the stormy sea just now. Under the light white sea water that is not unique to Kyoto On the outside, the burning port is full of scattered warship wreckage. The burnt black hulls make crackling sounds in the wind. The red flames surround these wreckage like raptors eating prey, returning them to the last bit. Where the wood could be seen, it turned into a piece of charcoal.

Corpses of sailors were floating everywhere on the water. Their stumps and broken legs were soaked white by the cold seawater. Their bodies were bulging like a ball. These corpses were rising and falling in the seawater with the tide. From a distance, they looked like they were stacked one on top of another. Stacked like sesame seeds floating in a soup pot, the whole interior of the port is crowded,

"Sir, the picket ship is reporting. In the southwest sea, an unknown fleet was found approaching this way!" The first mate of the fleet came to report.

"Unknown fleet?" Tigre looked coldly at the burning port and city not far away. "The blazing fire is enough to attract the other cruising fleets from Gangfei back. It's time to leave. Order The fleet evacuates to the northwest in an orderly manner!”

Tigre waved his hand. Nearly an hour of bombardment had already used up two-thirds of the fleet's ammunition.

Watching the Falcon Fleet take a bite of the Imperial Kyoto, slowly turn around, and the Gangfei Cruise Fleet, which came back with great momentum, pursues them fiercely. This may be some arrangement of fate. Tigre's fleet, which came with the wind, had to go against the wind, and its speed suddenly dropped. The distance between Gangfei's fleet quickly increased from 2 kilometers at the beginning to 1,500 meters.

Through the lookout glass in hand. Tigel could see three large Gangfei heavy warships bravely charging at the front, followed by about 20 Gangfei warships. The leading four-masted warship had a huge body and gorgeous appearance. There were thick metal baffles on both sides, and the cross flag of the naval flagship hung on the towering mast. It seemed that he was very angry. He rushed to the front regardless of entering, and the tug of war between the two fleets did not change until they were 20 nautical miles away.

"Sir, the captains of all ships are requesting to turn back and fight!"

The shouts from the semaphore at the top of the tall mast made Tigre determined to fight back. The speed of the opponent's warship was obviously higher than his own. If it was just a Dragon Tooth warship, it would be okay, and it could be assisted by the side discharge of slurry. , but the two bulky Dragon-class battleships seriously hindered the fleet.

At this speed, the opponent's speed will surpass his own in the third ten miles, and at that time, the opponent's morale will also reach its peak. But our side is facing a headwind and has low morale. Even if we can repel the opponent's pursuit, we will still have to pay a heavy price.

"Tell all ships to disperse and fight back!"

Tigre raised his head and shouted sternly to the mast. His decisive judgment gave the fleet a chance to turn around and attack. He didn't know that the Gangfei battleship chasing behind had also ordered to abandon some decks and cargo holds. Sundry's order was to reduce the weight and speed up the pursuit. Without even reaching the third ten miles, the Gangfei battleship was able to destroy Tigel's fleet.

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

The shouts of the fleets on both sides sounded almost at the same time, and the violent bombardment of "rumbling" came again from the direction of Tigel's fleet. The captains of Longya, who had already been chased, were on fire almost when the battleship had just turned an arc. Fire at the same time,

The Gangfei battleships rushed out of the fog behind them like huge black shadows, in a burst of dazzling and gorgeous firelight. A Gangfei warship rushing at the front exploded with a bang.

Because the distance was too close, the billowing smoke ejected from the side of the Falcon Dragon Tooth battleship was like a volcano erupting, and the red light instantly whitened everyone's faces.

The wind blew violently into the gun cabin. Due to the headwind, the white smoke rolled back. The gun cabin was suddenly filled with white smoke. The sailors were choking and coughing violently. The smell of sulfur in the nose was so stinging that people could not open their eyes. But the gunners They couldn't care less, they seemed to be able to hear the sound of the trebuchet on the battleship Gang Fei not far away.

"Attention, stone throws!"

The deck of the Dragon Tooth battleship Redby was in chaos. Countless flaming fireballs were shot from the direction of the Gangfei battleship that was passing by. They intersected violently, just like two men with lances facing each other. "Wow" the waves were heavy The bows of the battleships pressed down heavily and turned into a spray of water. The battleships squeezed together and made a creaking sound.

The firelight was dense all around it, like spores that suddenly bloomed in the sea.

"Shoot. Shoot!" There were waves rolling up like vortices of explosive light everywhere, and the Gangfei heavy battleship in the middle of the fire net frequently exploded with dazzling sparks.

There were almost crazy shouts in the gun bunker, and the trebuchet operators struggled to pull the winch. Everyone was scrambling for time.

attack! "

The reloading of the trebuchet was obviously faster than that of the Thor. The whole row of catapults from the Gangfei battleship came down again. The solid stone bullets made a crackling sound in the air with rolling flames. The turbulence caused by the collision between the two sides was on the sea. Raising violent waves, shaking the sea around the warships on both sides,

"Papa" splintered wood flew across the deck. Although they had been very smart to avoid it, the gunners could still hear the crackling sound of heavy stones hitting the upper deck. A crack appeared on the side, and sea water poured in ruthlessly. The side gun compartments simultaneously Fiercely fired, the gunfire penetrated the Gangfei battleship like a white light. From the side, the sea boiled and raised countless water columns, and the battleship Gangfei was hit from the side while driving in front. The huge tonnage of the ship shook. The iron plates on the side played a key role in protection. The Thor bomb exploded. There is a small opening, and the rest is just a dazzling fireworks, gorgeous and dazzling

"Bastard!" The gunner of the Redbee Dragon's Tooth regretfully punched the side of the ship.

The chaos in front of him made Tigard frown. There were roaring explosions everywhere, like two packs of wolves biting each other! Both sides fought like crazy, fighting in close combat regardless of life and death. Whoever bleeds first will fall first! (To be continued.
