Realm of Power

On the outer sea surface, there are densely packed warships with the Aden flag parked. Under the impact of the sea wind and waves, the ships rise and fall between the clear water and blue sky.

The tide like a white line washed up on the beach. In the rising water, you could faintly see huge ruins on the coast. On the waist-deep shoal, rows of blackened wooden pillars were soaked in the seawater. The ruins were so impressive. It makes people feel chilly. These rafts and shipwrecks are like a black forest suddenly appearing on the seaside. It spreads out on the coastline formed by the speed, and the number is staggering. It looks like a huge cemetery. Yes, this is a cemetery, a cemetery for naval warships. Most of the hulls are exposed from the tilted It can be seen from the obstruction ring formed on the water surface that how many warships sank under the sea here, and the wreckage of the ships formed a screen to block the fleet.

This was once the naval headquarters of the former Nansi Empire, and now it is the home of Nansi pirates. It was once the port with the largest throughput on the entire Nansi coast. It is an excellent natural deep-water port. In the era when the Nansi Empire's navy was the most powerful, it could At the same time, one hundred ships of the Thorns class, which the Nanxi Empire was most proud of at the time, were parked. The large sailing warship was the location of the largest naval port of the Nansi Navy at that time. The Nansi Navy once set out from here and shocked the entire sea of ​​​​Aden. However, the great sea battle fifty years ago brought the hegemonic era of the Nansi Navy to an abrupt end. Along with this, the huge naval port that demonstrated the glory and hegemony of Nanjing Navy also declined.

In order to develop its navy, the Nansi Empire continuously migrated residents from the mainland to this island chain in the past hundred years, trying to expand a fairly large urban area on this island chain. When the population was the largest, people gathered here. The total number of civilians, sailors, merchants, soldiers, mercenaries, etc. here exceeds 200,000, but The final result was regrettable. Due to the civil war in the Nansi Empire, the sea area was brutally blockaded by the Aden Navy. The migrating people returned one after another. The last remaining people, in order to survive, they drove dilapidated boats. Ships made a living by attacking merchant ships from Aden. They were the predecessors of pirates in South Africa.

The powerful empire that originally owned the entire Nanshan Peninsula has evolved into more than a dozen kingdoms, including the Kingdom of Moral, that are constantly fighting. Under this situation, these wooden port facilities have finally transformed under the impact of seawater for fifty years. They became bare wooden piles, making snapping sounds when being beaten by the waves, and they seemed to still be telling the story of the time when warships were like clouds. , the sight of sails covering the sky, although in the eyes of the Aden naval officers, the Nansi pirates are a group of cowards who never dare to face the last time, and only dare to harass those merchant ships, but they are entangled with the powerful Aden navy It has been 50 years, but it is an indisputable fact. The headquarters of the Nanxi pirates is in Taihu Bay. This is not a secret.

The navy has launched sieges against Taihu Bay several times, but in the end they were abandoned due to logistical difficulties. Regardless of the fact that Taihu Bay is an island close to the mainland, its area is thirty-four miles. There are mountain forests on the island, and there is even a waterfall that was formed at some point. These cunning Nansi pirates often find that they are unable to resist the encirclement and suppression of the Aden Navy, so they will run to the shore to escape, leaving the Aden Navy behind. Several encirclement and suppression campaigns were carried out without success.

But this time, when the main force of Aden's navy left the port, the first batch of Aden's Lu family that accompanied it had a total of 50,000 soldiers. In order to avoid possible dangers at sea, Navy Commander Gudeago asked the fleet to move along the coastline. , the first target is Taihu Island. Since the Lu family is willing to spend 50,000 people to try, the Navy will definitely not be stingy.

At the meeting in the main hall, Navy Minister Gudeago personally stated that if the Lu family was willing, the navy could safely deliver it anywhere. However, the Lu family obviously did not believe it, and then someone proposed Taihu Island. If it can't even deal with the remnants of the Nansi Navy, then how can we believe that the Navy has the strength to send us to Central Asia!"

It was in the afternoon when the main force of the Aden Navy arrived at Taihu Island. Large waves surged and rolled from the sea and pounced mercilessly on Taihu Island ahead. The waves here are more than one meter high when they are gentlest, and when they are the most violent, the average wave height exceeds two meters. The waves hit the dilapidated shore of Taihu Island, which has been in disrepair for a long time. There are waves of spray and a huge roar at the same time. People who are not familiar with this place will feel a little scared. It seemed that I felt something. The waves on Taihu Island were particularly fierce today. The weather had been cloudy and uncertain since the morning. Although the sun was still shining brightly, strong winds were blowing on the sea. The average wind force was over level 7. Shangbaidao The extremely fast sailing clipper was the first to pass by. The strong wind drove the sea water to form turbulent waves that hit the side of the ship. The rocking boat was shaken by the waves and made a loud sound at this time. The collision with the waves made a huge sound that made people feel extremely sad. Big shock.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!" The bells on the island also rang one after another. For the enemies who appeared on the sea, the island became a mess, and the alarm bells rang out. No one would have thought that the Aden navy would crush it so grandly. Because today's wind and waves are so strong, the Nansi pirates are still using old warships that have been used for decades, and they are all lying in the port. Now they can see countless Aden naval flags flying on the sea level. For a moment, the entire pirates felt numb and didn't know what to do. Many of them were stunned, "Fight?" It is definitely impossible to fight. There is a huge gap between the pirate equipment and the regular army. Now we can only adopt the old method of escaping to the island to escape.

But this time, the main force of the Aden navy was obviously well prepared.

"Commander, everything is ready, can we start?" An Aden naval officer came up from behind and said respectfully to Aden Naval Commander Gude Yago who was standing on the bow of the flagship and staring forward.

"Let's start!" Brother Gudeya nodded, and the corners of his mouth curled up unnoticeably.

This time is not the same as the previous times. In order to clear any possible obstacles, the Aden Navy and the Lu family worked together to clean up the coastal areas. Taihu Island was naturally the top priority. The Aden Navy and the Nansi Navy had been entangled for so many years. , who doesn’t know anyone yet? Although the Nansi Navy no longer exists in name only, its organizational structure still continues from the previous Nansi Navy. Generally, the fleet is divided into four groups, the front and rear guards, and the center. In order to distinguish the respective fleets, four colors are also used on the flag. Liao said that red is the attacking fleet, blue is the supporting fleet, Baise is the flanking fleet, and purple is the fleet responsible for the rear.

The sea wind became more violent, and the strong wind drove the waves. Hundreds of Aden naval vessels were like a huge razor, breaking the blue sea in front of them with their bows. In front of them, the dilapidated and old warships of the Nansi pirates were covered in black. Both the Aden people and the Nanxi people had red eyes at this moment. This was the second confrontation between the two sides fifty years later, but the original balance of power had been completely reversed.

"Move in, we can't let the Aden people look down on us!"

Among the pirate ships in Nanxi, some warships who disobeyed the command went out on their own. The sea battle fifty years ago was a thorn in the hearts of all Nanxi people. This thorn penetrated too long and too deep, not to mention the Aden side this time. It is obvious that they are trying to uproot Taihu Island, so there is nothing to negotiate with.

"Open full sail, let's rush over first"

"Watch out for the other team's shooter"

"Where's the catapult? Hit it, hit me hard."

The fleets of both sides did not even need the most basic mobilization. They were directly intertwined and intertwined. With a rumble, the black oil barrels ejected from the Aden naval warship were like raindrops with arcs, and they hit the intertwined ships on the opposite side. On the hull, the broken wooden barrels caused black oil water to flow and infect the opponent's ship deck. A flying rocket fell, and the armor Flames soared from the board, and the sailors on it jumped into the sea. But their nightmare had just begun. The rolling stones from the Aden naval warship fell like raindrops on the sea, and the sailors floating on the water continued to fall. It was set off and stirred up to form a huge splash, which caused many sailors from Nanxi to be swept directly into it.

Under such circumstances, the human body must pay a heavy price if it wants to break into this isolation zone. Those who were unfortunate enough to be hit did not even have a chance to scream. Their broken limbs floated on the sea, and the waves undulated, and then they were torn apart by the waves. Some disappeared directly into the waves, were thrown high by the waves and then capsized. Come over and throw yourself upside down on the sea water

"Hold on, don't be afraid!"

As for the Nansi pirates, although the warships are old, they fight very tenaciously. Regarding the black oil bombs of the Aden Navy, the Nansi pirates' attack methods are still the slings from fifty years ago, but they have been improved several times, both in terms of accuracy and accuracy. The launch time has been improved a lot. As long as the sling bombs thrown from the Nanzhi warship hit, it would cause huge damage to the bridge and deck like a storm sweeping past, with continuous smashing sounds.

"Bang", most of the deck of an Aden sail warship was shattered by heavy rolling stones, like a huge fountain in the middle of the water column, with countless pieces of planks from warships flying everywhere. The destructive power of these wood fragments is also huge, but they can break the mast and tear the sail. For the sailors running back and forth on the deck, it is even more devastating. In an instant, screams can be heard continuously. The waves suddenly surged even more fiercely, and many Nansi pirate warships had their masts torn apart, stuck one end on the water, and then disappeared on the sea on the spot. Looking at this scene, a young man with flaxen hair among the Nanxi pirate leaders clenched his fingers in pain,

"The people of Aden are going to kill them all."

The young man's eyes flashed with sadness. Judging from the current situation, Aden had mobilized more warships than the pirates. This was definitely the number that was rumored to be the main force of the navy. The huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the longer the delay went on, The more disadvantageous it is! He was not the only one who saw this. Some fast-moving Nansi pirates were quietly turning around, seemingly trying to escape from the battlefield. However, the side decks they exposed by turning the hull were violently attacked by the Aden navy. During the bombardment, a rolling stone bomb collided and squeezed on the side of the ship, bringing out a large amount of wood chips. The rockets fired by both sides roared, and as soon as they were hung up, the sails became riddled with holes in a moment.

In the "whooshing" sea breeze, the entire sea area illuminated by blazing fire was red, and there were crackling sounds of burning ships everywhere, as lively as fireworks. Many burning ships burned and sank silently. There was also the Aden warship equipped with black oil bombs, which was ignited with black oil and fired half of the deck with a roar.

"We can't fight any more, or we'll all die here!" The flaxen-colored young man showed a heartbroken expression on his face. The Nanxi pirates were formerly the Nanxi Navy, because without anyone to manage them, These former South Korean navy soldiers still stubbornly adhere to the concept of revenge against the Aden people, generation after generation. , fifty years, nearly three generations, how many of these Nanxi pirates were friends who grew up together, fathers, sons, brothers. Some of them were completely disappointed with the situation in Nanxi and left, but more people still chose to In order to stay, we hope to use the efforts of several generations to preserve the essence of the once glorious Nanxi Navy.

Although they operate old warships from fifty years ago, use the crudest weapons, and do not even have a pair of armor on their bodies, each family still retains the uniforms of the Nansi Navy passed down by their predecessors, restoring the uniforms of their ancestors. Glory, let Nanxi rise again and the Sea of ​​Aden. This is a belief that has been passed down from childhood, from their grandfathers, and fathers. But now it is completely gone. As a navy, the most fundamental weapon is ships. Without ships, even if there are no ships, You are not qualified to be in the Navy either. If all the ships were destroyed here. They, the descendants of the Nansi Navy, have no meaning in their existence anymore.

"Boom, boom" Suddenly, there was a very violent explosion, interrupting Guillermo's regret. He hurriedly concentrated on looking over, his mind suddenly collapsed, and his face suddenly became devoid of any color. A golden ship hung Under the siege of five or six Aden naval warships, the Nansi warship with the flag detonated a large amount of kerosene stored on the ship. The flagship of the entire Nansi fleet, the once most glorious Mayflower, this battleship that represented the last spirit of the Nansi Navy, had its tall mast blown into several sections and flew directly to the ship next to it. The hull showed obvious signs of damage. If nothing happens, the largest warship in the Nanzhi Navy era will be submerged in the sea in half an hour at most.

"Flagship orders, everyone evacuates!"

"Flagship orders, everyone evacuates!"

This is the content of a semaphore on the already tilted flagship. Guillermo's eyes were blurred by countless tears, and his fingers were tightly clasped on the deck.
