Realm of Power

The moment the imperial fleet launched, the thick smoke from the shooting formed a smoke wall about a hundred meters long on the sea surface. Water columns rose into the sky. The firelight was reflected in the rolling sea water. The astonishing air flow was like a huge scimitar hitting the equipment. The iron-clad Strand battleship's hull flashed with a heart-stopping cold light under the bursting firelight.

The Strand fleet was like a huge rising arc, staring at the gunfire. The strong navy of Strand is extremely fast,

The sails were all raised, and white waves were rolling on both sides of the wheel. Although a medium-sized warship was severely damaged 600 meters away, for the Strand Navy, which numbered 220 ships, this loss was insignificant.

On the contrary, the Falcon Navy's astonishing long-range attack made all the battleship captains feel like a collective shot of chicken blood, 600 meters. . . The battle started in advance. With that medium-sized battleship as an example, who would be able to fill up their guns leisurely?

On the smoky sea, the Falcon Navy's Thor gun muzzle on the opposite side was continuously ejecting thick white smoke. , like a volcanic eruption, countless black fireballs were sprayed out from the Falcon Empire fleet, booming! The huge waves of light illuminated the entire sea in an instant!

With a salvo, the gun cabin was filled with white smoke. Strand had a tailwind, and the Falcon Navy had a headwind. The sea breeze was carrying the pungent smell of sulfur, blowing in the face.

"Ahem!" The imperial sailors in the gun bay choked and coughed violently. Their eyes were stinging with sulfur and they couldn't open their eyes. "Reload, quickly!" But the gunners couldn't control that much. The opponent's fleet group was approaching. The speed is very fast, three or four rounds of Thor are fired continuously, and the gunners have reached the point where they need to cover their mouths and noses with wet towels.

"Fire. Fire with full force!"

The captains shouted almost wildly in the gun room. The fierce gunfire hit them like raindrops, and the sea surface boiled and raised countless water columns.

"Papa!" A ship with a huge tonnage traveling at the front was hit and exploded on the spot.

"Wow!" The waves were pressed down heavily by the heavy bow of this giant Poseidon-class ship, turning into a scattering of sprays.

The battleship still rushed out of the smoke and fire like a giant beast, swaying. Although a big hole was torn into pieces in the outer armor, the battleship had already fought its way out, regardless of the flames rising underneath the hull. , roaring forward with flames. Rushing straight towards the ascending queue of the Falcon Fleet,

The cannonball fell again, and the firelight was dense all around it, just like the spores that suddenly bloomed in the sea. Like a torrential rain, the fireball streaked across the sea with whistling and flames and hit the oncoming Strand battleship on the opposite side. The iron ball rotated at high speed. With a violent whistling sound, it hit the bow of a Strand warship, splinters of wood flew everywhere, and the solid iron bow was also disemboweled. As a violent explosion sounded from the battleship, the items inside the battleship seemed to have been hit by a hurricane, all obstacles were crushed, and the hull of the hit battleship shook violently. The speed quickly stopped, the entire bow disappeared, and sea water poured into it.

"Sure enough, the other party was thinking of sacrificing these large heavy ships in exchange for a chance to get closer from the beginning!" Dostronkai, who was standing on the flagship, saw this scene from the lookout mirror, licked his lips, and said to himself , showing no panic at all about being ambushed, the adjutant hurried over from opposite him and reported, "Commander, that Yamu just secretly jumped into the sea!"

"It's time to leave. Are you going to stay here and wait to be caught by us?" Dostronkai put down the observation glass in his hand and ordered, "Order the fleet to start moving!"

On Strant's flagship, an adjutant was nervously reporting the battle damage.

"The battleship Rita was severely damaged"

"The battleship Yameido was sunk..."

"The battleship Jacques was smashed into pieces,"

"Is that all?" Strand Navy Commander Fulengia asked in a solemn voice. He closed his collar and faced the blazing hot wind. He listened to the names of the battle-damaged ships and looked at them. A medium-sized warship on our side was exploded into a ball of fire by the opponent. Its expression was as cold as steel.

The Thor of the Falcon Empire Navy is indeed amazingly powerful, but the opponent's inventory of Thor bombs should be almost exhausted. This is because the opponent is caught off guard. It is difficult to imagine what will happen in a head-on battle. A tragic scene, no wonder the Falcon Navy was able to defeat the navies of the two great empires of Gaul and Congo! Although the losses had been anticipated for a long time, and the most heavily armored heavy battleships were deliberately placed in front so that these heavy battleships could serve as shields for the entire fleet, the battle losses from the front were still heartbreaking. They were the bravest ships in the sea country. warrior,

They are using their blood and sacrifice to open up the future for Haiguo

"Order the heavy battleships ahead to deploy the spindle array!"

Furengia saw that the heavy warship at the front had already penetrated 200 meters. He believed that the opportunity for a full-scale counterattack was ripe, and immediately issued an order to change the attack array. At the same time, he also saw the Falcon Navy on the opposite side begin to adjust the array, from a straight line to a tilt. It has become an eight-character array that can both attack and evacuate at any time.

"It's really not challenging, I want to run now!" Seeing the arrangement of Falcon Navy warships, Fulengia sneered at the corner of his mouth,

He was very satisfied with the current battle situation. He could see that the Falcon Empire fleet had indeed consumed most of the Thor bombs in the previous six days. Therefore, in the fierce battle that lasted only half an hour, our fleet suffered heavy losses. The Falcon Empire fleet on the opposite side was not much better. In addition to the desperately resisting flanks, it also showed full attack power. The warships behind it were more or less disadvantaged in being unable to shoot continuously.

Our navy's counterattack also started fiercely at the same time.

"Attack 'The tight trebuchets on the Strand battleships made a piercing roar on the deck, and countless ignited fireballs rose from the sky above the Strand battleships, just like stars appearing in the daytime, bringing out beautiful streaks And in the fatal arc, the Strand navy's trebuchets rained down all kinds of stones,

In addition to the Dragon-class warships of the Falcon Empire, the Dragon Tooth warship, which is the backbone of the fleet, is smaller in size than the Strand Navy. It was suddenly hit by rocks, splinters of wood flew everywhere, and fireballs spread on the deck. , the heart-rending screams of the injured sailors, the ignited canvas whirred in the wind, and a huge sound of "rumbling" came. The stern rudder of an imperial warship turned into pieces of wood amid the rocks. The entire warship suddenly lost its balance and spun across the sea. After being hit by the weak side deck more than ten times in a row, In the end, a huge hole was opened by the explosion.

The fierce seawater rushed in, and the bodies of the sailors and the cargo in the cabin flowed out as the water poured in, floating on the sea, and were squeezed for more than ten meters by the waves caused by the nearby fleet ships galloping past.

"pretty!"

Furengia grinned. This time he was truly confident of victory, and he was no longer afraid of the opponent's frightening and breathtaking volley. The Falcon Empire fleet that once roamed the outer seas was now just a fat fish lying on a chopping block waiting for him to cut it in front of him. This feeling made him excitedly punch the side of the ship.

"Come on. Come on, Strand coward!"

Frye shouted next to the main gun on the bow of the ship. The main gun on the ship needed the sea water to cool down after three bombardments. The sea breeze was filled with a strong and pungent smell of sulfur, which almost choked him. On the sea, the Imperial battleship group and the Strand fleet on the opposite side tore apart and scattered countless fragments.

"Go up and crush them"

The Strand captains were shouting too. The total number of warships on both sides exceeds 350, and they are like two huge beasts biting and rolling on the surface of the sea.

The Strand people are full of fighting spirit. With the confidence of an inland sea overlord, he was like a knight in heavy armor, holding a sword, shield and spear. He used the ramming angle of the front of the battleship to fiercely tear apart the opponent's armor. The Dragon Tooth Ship, which had no time to dodge, was torn into pieces by the powerful impact. The thick hull of the Strand Sea Kingdom warship was crushed directly from the Dragon Tooth Ship's deck. In the past, the single-structure Dragon Tooth battleship was overwhelmed and was crushed in the middle. The sailors on it jumped into the sea in a panic, and countless broken wooden decks floated on the sea.

"attack,!"

The Dragon Tooth Battleship, which had been showing some weakness just now, suddenly seemed to go crazy, spraying huge fireballs at the speed of one shot every forty seconds and one shot every thirty seconds, towards the passing Strand. Battleships, these oval light clusters with long thin tails are like intersecting meteors, penetrating into the opponent's ship along the sea surface. It caused a violent explosion, and the fragments formed by the fireballs tore the decks on the side of the battleship into pieces. The battleship shook violently in an instant, and the explosive light clusters released from the damaged position formed a violent explosion. The shock wave swept through the interior of the battleship like a hurricane.

The decks of some stopped Dragon Tooth battleships were filled with sailors holding a variety of weapons, including long guns, short battle axes, hammers, crossbows, flails, and small crossbows designed for short-range use. Pushed onto the deck, the sides of these Dragon Tooth warships have collided with the enemy's warships, making an almost shattering creaking sound. Compared with the larger Strand warship, the Dragon Tooth warships obviously do not occupy the same size. advantages,

"Kill them all!" Countless enemy sailors jumped down from the side of the ship.

"Kill!" The falcon sailor on the deck let out a fierce roar and fought with the enemies falling like raindrops. The spear was pierced into the person's body before he could pull it out. The enemies coming up from behind have already been slashed with long swords. The smell of blood is mixed with the sea water. Spears and daggers are rolling against each other on the side of the ship. People are squeezing each other. Corpses are stacked on the side of the ship. People are constantly falling into the rough sea. , the desperate two sides set off turbulent waves on the sea, shaking the sea. This was a battle that would overwhelm the country. No matter which side was holding on to the idea of ​​completely tearing the other side apart.

"Go ahead and capture as many enemy warships as possible!"

Furengia looked at the advantageous battle situation and finally smiled. The Falcon Empire Navy is indeed powerful, but this is the inland sea and is the world of Strand. The opponent has already shown that it is at the end of its rope. If it can capture it, Even one-third of the battleships are enough to establish the status of the maritime country, and as the commander, I and this largest sea battle in the history of the inland sea area will be remembered in history forever!

"Flagship order, capture these enemy warships as much as possible!" On the mast of a Strand Poseidon-class warship, the flagman shouted to the captain below. Before he could finish his words, he suddenly stayed there. Pointing to the sea in the northeast direction, he suddenly shouted "Enemy!"

The captain with his head held high below was stunned for a moment and shouted angrily, "What on earth are you talking about?"

"Attention, enemy, outlying islands in the northeast!" The flag carrier shouted in confusion, and continuous loud rolling thunder came from the northeast, and the sea surface boiled again. Countless red arcs of light struck from the northeast, as majestic as a swarm of meteors, and even made Captain Strand feel in a trance for a moment.

"Rumble" A fierce blow exploded on the side of Strand's fleet,

"What's going on?" Fulengia turned pale and looked to the northeast where the situation had changed rapidly. It was an island outside the port. Dozens of huge white sails were emerging from there. These Falcon Empire warships were like It began to accelerate like a tuna leaping over the waves, and the huge wave marks formed by the acceleration of the fleet were like a huge cold blade, seeming to cut the sea area in half. This is where the fierce bombardment comes from,

Countless pillars of fire intertwined on the sea to create a spectacular and tragic scene. The unsuspecting Strand battleship was like leaves in a storm, and was swept in in an instant. There were flaming battleships everywhere, and everyone was in a panic. The diving sailor, the red flames rolled on the sea like disaster, these huge red hands overturned the battleship on the sea with unstoppable momentum,

"This is an ambush!" Fulengia's head went blank. When did the Falcon Empire lurk a fleet here!

"That is?"

On the Falcon Empire's battleship, Squadron Commander Fry looked at the battleships in the direction of the outer islands and was a little confused. He couldn't remember which squadron was deployed there. Such a number exceeded the size of an ordinary squadron, but the blue-gold cross imperial naval flag on the mast already indicated its identity.

"It's the North Sea Fleet, the Imperial North Sea Fleet!" Frye's eyes almost bulged out. "I'll go, who brought this steppe wolf here!" Because the commander of the North Sea Fleet, Urcondo, is from Dongting. Therefore, he is also called the Steppenwolf by his colleagues in the Navy.

"Quick, send the order immediately, all warships participating in the battle are free to evacuate"

Furengia didn't know that the strength of the North Sea Fleet was far inferior to the Empire's First Fleet that was currently fighting. He believed that he had fallen into the Empire's ambush circle. He thought that three-quarters of the navy of the Sea Kingdom would be annihilated and the entire army would be destroyed. During this battle, he shouted at the top of his lungs to the frightened messenger,

Life and death were completely reversed at this moment. The surprise attack turned into an ambush. The exposed flanks of the fleet were almost recessed. The blazing fire on more than ten Strand naval warships saw other Strands. The captains of the special navy were heartbroken.

"Quick, turn the steering wheel"

"Turn, turn!"

Realizing that their flanks were completely exposed to the ferocious firepower of the Falcon Empire fleet, the Strand fleet was in uncontrollable chaos. In this fiery red light and shadow, a Poseidon-class giant battleship was flanked by a rumble. It penetrated the deck, and a red ball of fire burst out from inside,

"Shell bombardment, leaving no one behind! Order the fleet to use full firepower, and tell those guys to use all their strength! Whether the North Sea Fleet can become famous in the Oparo Continent depends on today!"

The commander of the Empire's Northern Fleet, Urcondo, was wearing the uniform of a naval commander. He looked at the Strand people who were turning in panic like a flock of sheep in front of him. He shouted excitedly with each explosion, "Strant Navy" The originally dense spindles of the battleship suddenly turned into a mess. The battleship turned in a panic, and the huge hull could not maneuver flexibly at all. The captains above were also completely confused. It was too much like making dumplings. They only needed to look around a little. You can see an explosion of red debris and firelight flying all over the sky.

The opponent's attacks continued swiftly and ferociously. The four large battleships, which were obviously Falcon Empire Dragon-class battleships, were like huge sharp swords. A single salvo blasted the entire deck and shipside.

Under this crazy fighting style, the experienced Strang people were also stunned. In front of this group of unscrupulous raids, they had to turn the battleship's ass and escape in panic and humiliation.

But the smaller Dragon Tooth Battleship among these guys is like a wolf rushing into a herd of elephants. It rushes from left to right and bites with its mouth open. Even if it cannot kill the target, it still has to fight to the death to bite off a piece of meat, and that meat , is the shattered side deck of the battleship, which makes people feel that those battleships are completely ferocious beasts, a group of bloodthirsty wolves! It is a kind of pleasure of relying on the strong to bully the weak, a kind of twisted violence, more like a kind of fanatical revenge,

This is the Imperial North Sea Fleet. In terms of frontal combat, Urcondo's North Sea Fleet is far inferior to Dostelenko's First Fleet. However, in terms of assault capabilities, it once suppressed Urcondo in the North Sea with just a few warships. , is undoubtedly better. This is a throat-sealing sword, and it is also a mad wolf that dares to win and fight.

The Strand people suddenly turned against each other three months ago, and Fatty already had a premonition that a war between the two countries was on the agenda. As the overlords of the inland sea, the Strand people have absolute initiative over the inland sea, so this battle, The other party will inevitably choose an opportunity to launch a surprise attack. In this case, the first fleet of the empire that has gathered in the Putao area will As soon as it moved, the North Sea Fleet had already been under the surveillance of the Strand people. During the winter, the North Sea Fleet received the order to move south two months ago. On the fifth day after the departure of the Empire's First Fleet, it set out from the southwest area and resupplied on the coast of Putau. Then it entered the inland sea, like a wolf, following the first fleet until it entered the islands outside Valenya Port at night three days ago.

Using the First Fleet as bait, the North Sea Fleet to complete a fatal blow, and a surprise attack to deal with a surprise attack, this can definitely give the Strand Navy a fatal blow (to be continued...)
