Realm of Power

The east coast in spring has always been cloudless and good weather. On the sea level like a white line in the distance, the patrol ship Gillis of the Third Kingdom of Aden fleet splits a white wave on the sea like an active swordfish, its mast The lookout soldiers on board looked lazily at the nearby sea.

The army's fight has little to do with the Aden Navy, but for some unknown reason, the Aden Navy suddenly submitted a secret report to the kingdom's upper echelons a month ago, and subsequently became the third heavy battle fleet in the naval fleet with the title of Unstoppable Fortress. was ordered to be transferred to the east coast and began to form a blockade on the port area that was the focus of the operation. In just half a month, , has achieved remarkable results, and has already caused heavy losses to the three transport fleets of the Eero people. The most recent one also caused the Eero army's attempt to use the fleet to dock in vain. A total of two thousand Eero soldiers were sunk. The transport ship struggled beside it and was crushed back and forth by the heavy bow of the Aden Navy. There were four flaming Eero Navy frigates burning next to it!

"The Eero Navy will not swallow this breath in vain, the time should be within these few days!"

When the report of "a large number of enemy fleets approaching rapidly" came, Habres, commander of Aden's Third Fleet, just raised his eyebrows slightly. What should come will eventually come. Although the Aero Empire's navy is at a second-rate level, but in After being attacked continuously, there was no sign of counterattack at all, and it was estimated that they were at the point where Emperor Eero ordered all the troops to be dismantled.

But judging from the combat effectiveness of the Eero Empire Navy encountered. Sure enough, it is only the level of a regional navy. No wonder it has always been suppressed by the Falcon Empire Navy. The tonnage of the battleships is only medium, and the combat weapons are still in the relatively backward catapult stage, while the navy of the Kingdom of Aden has been in the state for twenty years. Before that, heavy battleships covered with iron sheets had been built. In addition to catapults, the battle weapons were also equipped with fire-breathing ships. The Kingdom of Aden was a desert kingdom and lacked everything else except black oil.

This highly flammable liquid was rejected by the Army because of its instability and many accidental casualties in the Army. However, it has a very good effect in the Navy. Assault ships spraying black oil are deployed next to the main battleships. Then use incendiary slings to ignite them. As long as they hit, the opponent's warship will fall into a sea of ​​flames.

The patrol ship Gillis turned back from the front. At the same time, in the blink of an eye, the number of black spots on the distant sea increased rapidly, and the range also expanded rapidly.

"Send the order, deploy the oil belt, and prepare for battle!"

Fleet Commander Habres raised his hand and asked the flagship to raise the battle flag. Six smaller fast ships began to separate from the fleet. The hulls of these fast ships were low and swollen in the middle, like a round mouse. , when driving fast. The heavy hull is still swaying in the waves. This is the unique fuel injection ship of the Aden Navy. There are more and more countless black spots in the distance. Almost in the blink of an eye, a slender line is visible to the naked eye. Spreading towards both sides.

"It's the main naval force of the Eero people!"

Habres looked at the group of battleships appearing on the sea in the distance with bright eyes, and finally showed a solemn expression. With his experienced experience, he judged that the number of battleships appearing on the other side had exceeded forty, and the number was still increasing. According to According to intelligence, the total number of naval warships in the Ero Empire is about two hundred. Of course This is considered the size of those logistics transport ships. Although our Aden Third Fleet is also considered the top three fleets in the Aden Navy, it has thirty-seven warships, among which there are twenty-four first-level main Aden Eagles and fuel injection ships. Six, seven medium-sized sail warships, facing such a large fleet, they are still unable to do what they want.

The six black oil ships in front began to stop a hundred meters away. A large amount of black oil poured out from the pipe on the side of the ship's hull. A large piece of black floated on the sea, like a long black ring blocking the opponent's path. On the way, there are very few winds and waves on the sea now, and the fuel tanker The position is in the upwind direction. According to the speed of the water flow, when the opponent's fleet approaches, the black oil will float over with the waves. As long as it sticks to it, it will be ignited by the equipment on the heavy battleship. The Aden Navy is very concerned about the black oil. I have a lot of experience in using oil.

When the Kingdom of Aden gave up its eastward advance and turned its focus to the south, the first opponent it had to face in the sea was the naval fleet of the Nansi Empire, which had dominated the waters of Aden for more than a hundred years. Although the warship is not as big as the navy of the Kingdom of Aden, , but its flexible impact also caused the Aden Navy to suffer a lot. It was against this background that a general in the navy thought of the black oil that would never go out in the desert. He used the black oil to eventually defeat the Imperial Navy of Nanxi. The main force was introduced into the narrow mouth of the Gulf of Aden.

A fire at sea that burned for half a day, like a natural disaster, burned out most of the main force of the Nansi Empire Navy, establishing Aden's position as the naval supremacy. At that time, when facing the huge Nansi Navy, this method was adopted. Arrange oil belts upstream and then use the sea The flow of water brings the black oil to the hull of the enemy fleet. This method is relatively secretive, and even if the opponent fleet sees the black oil ribbon, it will not react much for a while until the black oil ribbon floats below the battleship. You'll start to panic, and by then it's already too late!

"Commander, an unknown number of fleets are approaching from the southeast." Just when Aden's third fleet began to slowly turn, trying to lead the main force of the Eero navy that appeared on the opposite side into the ambush zone, a slightly panicked voice came from the lookout above. sound,

"Southeast!"

Habres was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked to the southeast, his face suddenly turned a little ugly. There was a forest approaching on the sea in that direction, which was a dense collection of battleship masts. Because it was too far away, it was difficult to see the opponent's battleships clearly. appearance, but such a dense mass of masts gave Habres an ominous premonition. The masts of battleships are rarely so dense. Yes, after all, battleships are huge combat tools. Even the smallest assault ships will keep a certain safe distance from each other. There is only one situation where there is such a dense mast, and that is like the main force of the Aden Eagle under my feet. A heavy battleship with five masts and large sails like a battleship. When did the Aero people start to have heavy battleships with five masts? And there are so many!

"Commander, north!" The exclamations kept coming from the lookout post. Habres shuddered subconsciously. It was incredible. Even if the Eero Navy was really deployed in full force, such a huge fleet had already exceeded The range within which the Third Fleet could operate was reached. Habres' mouth was bitter, and he hit the deck with his fist. It was so smooth sailing ahead that I didn't expect that the Eero Navy would dispatch such a large number of troops to complete the encirclement of itself. Fortunately, an oil belt has been spread out in front. At least one side is safe, and the remaining two sides are a problem. , but this is an extremely vast sea, and the other party’s goal of completing the encirclement is really naive!

"Commander! What should we do?" The adjutant ran up from behind in a panic, and his voice sounded a little restless.

The dense forest of masts flashed through Habres' mind, and he said decisively, "The larger the warship, the less flexible it is to turn. With a fuel tanker as the precursor, as long as one is burned, the other side will be in chaos, and the breakout will be difficult." It will become a massacre." Speaking of which, ha Blaise smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth. The stupid Eero people would never have thought that they would choose large battleships as the direction to break out. When the opponent's other two battleships arrived belatedly, what else could they do besides being able to see the burning wreckage on the sea? ! ,

"Order the fleet to move to the southeast, kill them all!" Habres' voice was a little excited, and he shouted loudly, attack the southeast, and let the Eero people know how ridiculous their ideas are! …

"The Aden fleet is coming this way!"

On the Imperial Dragon-class battleship, the Imperial Navy Minister and Fleet Commander-in-Chief Dostelenko put down the lookout glass in his hand, with a rare shock on his face. This time, it was not the Eero Empire who launched the encirclement of the Aden Third Fleet. fleet, but the main force of the navy composed of one hundred and forty imperial warships. When they learned that the Dragon Crow, which had been missing for more than two months, was captured by the Aden Navy, After the siege and attack, the Imperial Navy had already begun its own revenge plan. The Imperial Navy took advantage of being the overlord of the inland sea and used various mobilization names. In addition, the Aden people had already become jealous of the Eero people. How could I would never have thought that the Imperial Navy would take action at this moment. The assembly of the Imperial Navy fleet was completed unknowingly.

Regarding the Aden Fleet Commander's initiative to launch an attack on the Imperial Dragon-class fleet, Dostelenko could only express his admiration, but could only think that the other party committed suicide out of despair. The overlords of the two sea areas were just like this. We met under an inexplicable emotion

"Rumble" A huge roar and pieces of white mist rising like steam from the sea, as if the entire sea area was boiling, covering the front at once, Habres, the third naval commander in Aden, was full of mockery His face felt as if he had been punched in the face.

"This is...the Imperial Thunder God!"

Habres's face was twisted, and his voice was directly interrupted by a violent muffled thunder. The flash of light emitted by the opposing fleet instantly turned his face white. At the moment the opponent fired, thick smoke formed on the sea. A smoke wall about 200 meters long was built. Countless red lights flashed inside, and the radiated energy expanded. The resulting light strongly stimulated the eyes of the soldiers. "Whoosh" the shells trailing the tails of black smoke, just like wielding a sickle. The god of death roars and strikes from afar,

The fuel-injection ship at the front, which was the vanguard of the fleet, was exploded in an instant. Water columns shot up into the sky, accompanied by the crackling sound of the fuel-injection hull.

"Rumble" The fuel jet ship full of black oil is a super. Even if it is in its own fleet, it must be one hundred meters away from the main fleet. At this moment, as it is ignited, it explodes with light, like a The radiant sun rises, illuminating the entire sea! Almost blocking the blue color of the sky, the fireball explosion brought about a rumbling echo at the moment of explosion, and countless fire points were thrown to the surrounding sea, creating a sea of ​​fire.

"asshole"

Habres roared angrily, and the heat wave from the oil tanker exploded in the distance was swept up by the sea breeze, causing him to suffocate and cough violently.

"Why the Imperial Fleet! Why is the Imperial Fleet attacking us? Has the Empire already started an undeclared war?"

The huge and dense group of masts gave Habres an absolute urge to crash to death. If he had known that it was an imperial fleet, he would never have chosen to break out in this direction, because this would simply be asking for death!

The Imperial Navy has become the overlord of the inner and outer seas in a few years, and has demonstrated its overwhelming power enough to make the sea boil countless times. The Dragon-class battleship, the main battleship of the Imperial Navy, is a five-masted super-large battleship, and it has the ability to move at sea. The title of the fortress, with so many imperial thunder gods equipped on it, it is said that even cities on land will be reduced to ruins.

In comparison, my Aden Eagle-class battleship, which does not fall into the fortress, is not enough.

Fierce artillery fire came, and there were explosions and explosions.

Habres looked at the chaotic fleets around him, both of them were blood red. He could only wave his hands and shout, "Attack! The whole fleet attacks, fight to the death." The surroundings of Aden's third fleet were already filled with flames, and they were shooting out. The thermal turbulence sets off violent waves on the ocean,

The flash of Thor's cannon fire. Continuously tearing open the sea surface, even the Aden Eagle-class battleships covered with iron sheets were riddled with holes under various saturated fires!

The other two imperial fleets also began to approach, using ferocious artillery fire to tear apart the deck of the Aden battleship from the side. At this moment, even if the other battleships of the Aden third fleet did not receive instructions from the flagship, they felt that the other side was not the Aden battleship. Luo Haijun, but it was impossible to turn around and escape. One by one, the Imperial Dragon Tooth class fast battleships had cut off their retreat, and ferociously poured out fierce volleys of artillery fire at the chaotic Aden fleet.

With a huge roar, the Dragon-class battleship's "Flaxon Disk"-class main gun fired directly into the bottom compartment below the deck of the Aden naval battleship, and exploded directly from the bottom. In the blink of an eye, an Aden battleship was involved in the area of ​​destruction. , the hull deck erupted in white flashes one after another, like leaves caught in a super typhoon, being rolled up and torn without any hindrance. The flagship of the Third Fleet, the Fortress where Habres was located, began to tilt and flood, and the battleship's specially reinforced deck was violently torn open.

"Commander! Habres' adjutant fell to the ground with a pale face and screamed hysterically. He just watched the fleet commander Habres being thrown out of the hull in the explosion and falling into the ground. In the sea water, no shadows can be seen, and the Imperial Navy is surrounding them.

"The Third Fleet is finished!"

"We surrender!"

But the artillery fire from the imperial warships has no intention of stopping at all. The blood of the Dragon Crow must be repaid with the blood of the Aden people. This is the iron law of the Imperial Army! (To be continued.)
