Realm of Power

The port of Luxi was attacked. The 10th Fleet of the Kingdom of Aden Navy was violently beaten by a sudden Imperial Navy Thunder God outside the port. Black smoke filled the air and flames shot into the sky. The fire caused by the hit warship was like a torch on the blue sea. The attack was unknown, and the surrounding vision was completely restricted. Friendly ships were constantly being hit, thick smoke was billowing, and the waves of light illuminated the entire sea in an instant!

"The enemy is in the southwest!"

Admiral Antonian of the 10th Naval Squadron in Aden quickly judged the direction of the enemy attack from the roaring Thor shells. The sound had just fallen, boom! There was a deafening explosion, hot air waves hit the face, and countless wood chips poured down like a torrential rain. It was a broken deck. The swaying Aden sailors turned into rolling gourds and slammed into the side of the ship. Some people even fell from the side of the ship into the sea. A blood-curdling scream came from his mouth, ah, help! Another flash of light instantly turned his face white. A huge explosion struck the side of the battleship, and the scorching wind blew him away with a huge impact. Rumble, the heat wave brought up a lot of debris and slapped it on the side of the ship.

"Will I be the first fleet commander to be killed by explosion debris?"

In the chaos, Antonis felt that everything in front of him was overlapping and blurry, and there was a burning pain on the right side of his chest. When he lifted his finger, it was covered with blood. He didn't know whether it was his or someone else's next to him. This time The range of the bullet was more than 20 meters. Fortunately, he was wearing mail armor. A dozen broken and sharp-edged wood pieces hung red on his mail piece. Under his palms, there were all fragments. , even if There was no damage report, and Antonis knew that he might not be able to bear it any longer. Sure enough, the adjutant, who was in a state of embarrassment, pulled Admiral Antonian of the Tenth Fleet of the Aden Navy out of a pile of debris, and said breathlessly, "Sir, our The starboard side of the ship was penetrated, and most of the second-floor cabin was destroyed. If it were not supported by the keel, the entire deck would probably collapse. If we don't transfer to the ship immediately, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long."

In the waters of southern Central Asia, the Aden Navy has an absolute advantage in numbers. In order to completely limit the Imperial Navy's guerrilla tactics, temporary docks have been established on various islands along the way. There are three squadrons in the naval fleet at all times near southern Central Asia. The island patrols on the coastline, using the points connected by these islands, eventually turned into a large network blocking the southern coast of Central and South-Bia. The scope of activities of the Empire's Central-Biyar South Sea Squadron was greatly restricted.

The Aden Navy and the Imperial Navy have been fighting fiercely in the southern waters of Central Biya for half a year. Although the Imperial Navy has fast ships and heavy artillery, it still cannot shake the control of the Aden Navy in the southern waters of Central Biya. However, the Aden Navy is also looking for the Imperial Navy that has been harassing the supply line. The battle was finalized in the First World War. This time, the main force of the Aden Navy was transferred back to the country. In addition to repairing and escorting materials, it also meant to show off its power in the more than a dozen vassal kingdoms of the Kingdom of Aden. The King of Aden Since the country gave up its expansion to the Obarro Continent in the west decades ago, it has shifted its focus to the east of the Gulf of Aden. In the past few decades, it has not only completely taken over the rich Gulf of Aden, but also extended its power along the coast. Along the coastline all the way east to the southern waters of Central Asia, but in terms of the size of the coastline, even compared to the empire known as the overlord of the inland sea, the strength of the Aden navy is unprecedented for the imperial navy. opponent

"Have you been penetrated?"

Antonis took a deep breath and looked along the side of the ship where the adjutant was talking about. In the direction of the side deck, thick black smoke rolled up, and violent waves continued to rise on the sea. The deck was full of broken and falling wood. Parts of the deck were overturned like toys and scattered all over the floor. The debris on it was in a mess, and many sailors who were hit by splinters were wailing.

The Fallen Leaf Valley, the flagship of the Tenth Navy Fleet, is a heavy warship. Even in the southern waters of Central and South Africa, it has fought against the Imperial Navy several times. This is the first time it has suffered such heavy damage. Now, the encounter is with the Tenth Navy Fleet of Aden. The captains were also stunned. It felt like they had been thrown a brick by the enemy before they even saw it. How could they fight?

"Bastard!" Antonis gritted his teeth and wanted to vomit blood. He could see that the Imperial Navy was in the upper wind!

The suspension and explosion of the flagship shocked the entire Tenth Fleet. The Fallen Leaf Valley is not only large in tonnage, but the hull is also covered with a layer of iron armor. Even if a normal stone is thrown on it, it will not cause too much damage. But now, it was blasted open by concentrated fire on the spot, and the cracks in the side of the ship were visible to those who saw it. Shockingly, it was more than two meters deep. Sea water poured in, and the sandbags used to pressurize the cabin were straight. Then it was rushed away, the bow of the ship was heavily pressed down, and there was a spray of water in all directions. However, the Aden Tenth Naval Fleet was worthy of being the elite of the Aden Navy that had fought against the Imperial Navy several times in the southern waters of Central Asia. Although it was beaten in a daze, After seeing the flag raised by the flagship, the ships began to turn to the bow against the chaotic and exploding artillery fire.

"Continue the attack!"

Chekov, the commander of the Imperial Navy's forward fleet, looked brightly at the Aden Navy in the distance, which was turning to meet the battle, and waved the gun in his hand excitedly.

The imperial warship Dragon Tooth Ship fired rows of fireballs at a rate of one every forty and thirty seconds, towards a densely packed target in the distance. The sea was full of flaming warships. There were sailors diving in embarrassment everywhere, and red flames spread like disaster on the sea. To the southwest, countless fireballs came one after another like staggered meteors. The warships hit by the meteors shook violently and suffered damage in an instant. The explosive light group released from the position formed a violent shock wave, sweeping the interior of the battleship like a hurricane. The explosion's fire and water columns intertwined a spectacular and tragic picture on the sea, like leaves in a storm. In an instant, swept in

"Reload, quick!"

"Have fun, come on, come on"

"Damn it, I've been holding it in for half a year, it's so refreshing!"

There were various sounds in the gun bay of the Dragon Tooth Battleship of the Empire's forward fleet. The Imperial sailors choked and coughed violently. Their eyes were filled with sulfur pricks, but they were still shouting "load, load, gunners". They couldn’t care less. Thor fired continuously, and the gunners had reached the point where they needed to cover their mouths and noses with wet towels, but for the Imperial Navy sailors , it’s been a long time since I’ve had such a hearty battle. Since the inland sea overlord Strand Sea Kingdom surrendered to the Empire, the Imperial Navy fleet has not fought in a real sense for more than half a year. Although in order to maintain the morale and combat effectiveness of the navy, You can still fire ten cannons at target ships every month, but for the Imperial Navy, which has become accustomed to fighting for supremacy on the raging sea, what is the use of just ten cannons! You know, if Li was defeated in a medium-sized sea encounter, he would not be able to show his face without firing fifty rounds of artillery shells!

As for the forward fleet this time, in order to ensure that it can attract the attention of the people of Aden, not only the Dragon Tooth warships invested are equipped with the latest Imperial Navy warship fast gun type 3, but they also have enough cannon shells. A huge logistics group consisting of one hundred and sixty transport ships landed on the southern coastline of Luxi Port while the vanguard fleet attacked Luxi Port. Six thousand imperial soldiers The Central Army followed the landing and built a temporary port at the first landing point after crossing the Sea of ​​Mist to ensure that the supporting troops and supplies behind had a place to dock. The Sea of ​​Mist was only more than two hundred miles away, and it was difficult to move beyond the Sea of ​​Mist. After entering the sea, the Imperial Navy discovered that between the southern entrance of Hérault and the coastline leading to the Gulf of Aden, there was only a small promontory extending from a huge mountain range.

In the past, under the shroud of the Sea of ​​Mist, because there was no sight of land and no lighthouse to guide, fleets entering the Sea of ​​Mist would usually make a large circle. Almost no one knew that the distance between the two was so close. The mountains are indeed very large and very high in altitude. There are even large glaciers on the top. It can be said that it is difficult for birds to cross the land route, but for sea routes, a small promontory extending for thirty miles is really nothing, so the Imperial Navy only spent half a day to cross the small promontory. , and then went straight up the coast, taking a full two days less than the planned time.

Now put such a large piece of fat in front of your eyes, one by one, like a hungry wolf that hasn't eaten meat for half a year, howling at it, 375 degrees, lower it three degrees, let go of the Aden man, let I'm coming! That bastard snatched my head, hit the side of the ship, hit the stern, if the stern is broken, I can't run away, the Imperial Navy gunners who have been frustrated for a long time used all kinds of tricks, even the forward fleet commander Chekov... He ran over and fired two shots.

"Rumble"

Antoniss shook his dizzy head. The deck was completely messy. The sailors ran to the back carrying various tools to put out the fire. On the half-broken ship's side, the reflection of the burning flames dyed his eyes red. Fingers clenched tightly on the side of the boat , a cold feeling came back from the palm of his hand. Antonis knew that the flagship Fallen Leaf Valley was completely finished. If he didn't give up immediately, he was afraid that the huge hull would tilt and submerge into the sea in ten minutes, and everyone would be sucked into the whirlpool. Click, click, click! The rapidly turning hull almost passed by the side of the ship, and some even smashed the ship's side deck several meters long, sending wood flying across the board. Then the two ships quickly separated, creating a gap of more than ten meters. For a warship, it was more than ten meters. There is actually no difference between the gap and the collision. Just a slight shake is the result of the collision.

"Give me the order to abandon the Fallen Leaf Valley, and the fleet will move northward to get rid of the enemy!"

Antonis's voice was hoarse like a broken bellows and he gave orders through gritted teeth. Eleven battleships have been sunk or are in the process of being sunk. The Tenth Naval Squadron has a total of twenty-four battleships. Nearly half of them have been lost, and it is foreseeable. , if the fight continues, it won’t be long before the Tenth Naval Fleet will be removed from the Aden Navy sequence.

Burning flames, half of the hull on stilts stuck upside down in the sea water,

"The house sank"

"The Sinking of the Ciceliso"

"Ssangyong suffered heavy damage"

"The Sinking of the Cyclops"

"The Viper suffered heavy damage. The Attam suffered heavy damage."

The Luyaris was sunk, and the Keya shattered the stern steering wheel and sent a signal requesting to abandon the ship. . . . . . .

Antonis was almost exhausted as he listened to the names of the battle-damaged battleships one after another, and his breathing almost stopped. These are the backbone of the 10th Fleet. These naval battleships full of meritorious service were not lost in the southern waters of Central Asia, but they were What kind of thing is it to be beaten into balls of fire in your own home! Antonis clenched his fingers tightly, feeling a twinge of pain from his palms.

"Rush out, must rush out, even if only one ship of the entire fleet escapes, we must bring out the information that the Imperial Navy has crossed the Sea of ​​Mist." Antonius shuddered, and his mind seemed to be tightened. The sudden appearance of the Imperial Navy made him realize that the Imperial Navy might have broken through the Sea of ​​Mist, which was a big deal. The Sea of ​​Mist was regarded by the Aden people as a natural barrier blocking the west.

And these decades have also proved that Obarro has not found a way to cross the Sea of ​​Mist, so the defense of the Kingdom of Aden in this direction is not strong. Although a southern naval fleet was established before, the main force of the fleet has been withdrawn to the Central Bia battlefield. As for the army, the huge Long Gao Yala Mountains completely covered the west of this continent. The huge glaciers made it difficult for people to pass through, and were even regarded by the locals as the end of the earth. Even if there were occasional deaths, it was absolutely impossible for large troops to pass through. Therefore, the military defense of the Kingdom of Aden in this area was extremely weak. The war of the Kingdom of Aden against Central Bia drew out all the troops in this area.

And now, the Empire is here! The Lord of the Earth who swept across the entire Obaro suddenly attacked!

Antonis ordered the remaining warships to form a thick spindle array and break out to the north with all their strength. This thick array was like a huge spindle. The warships on the periphery were quickly concentrated by the Imperial Navy, rumbling and blazing. Half of the deck at the rear of the battleship was lifted into the air again by the violent explosion, and sparks flew from the hull.

The Aden warships that were constantly hit were moving slower and slower, but they were still struggling to guard the flanks of the fleet, using their blood and sacrifice to gain a chance of victory for the entire fleet.

The burning sails of the warships were burning in the sea breeze, and the sailors on them jumped into the sea in a hurry. The explosive bombs with burning flames were deeply embedded in the hull along the gap. The wood fragments on the side of the deck flew across, and a huge explosion occurred directly on the hull. The riddled deck finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore, and was exploded from the inside by waves of fire snakes and heat waves. The powerful attack wave lifted the deck of the battleship like a toy, and threw the sailors, debris, masts, and even the bridge on it into the air. . . . .

Antonis held tightly onto the side of the ship, his eyes full of bloodshot as he watched the three warships guarding the flanks being tossed left and right in the water like leaves blown by the wind in the intensive explosions. There was no turning back, and he could only rush forward desperately!
