Realm of Power

When Urcando found out that he was so lucky to catch the Austin transport fleet, he already knew that the goddess of victory had lifted her culottes towards him.

The opponent's combat ships are all in front. These transport ships with no ability to attack from a distance are just meat on your chopping board. You can kill them as you want. The face of the opponent's commander has turned pale because of his mistakes. Face, Urcando feels funny just thinking about it

"This is a God-given opportunity. If you miss it, you will be punished by shooting and sinking them..." The hooligans of the North Sea Fleet looked excited and drove the warships across the battlefield. White smoke filled the air and roared. sea On the surface, the Austin transport fleet, which had discovered the mistake, realized at this moment what a big mistake it had made. The transport ships collided with each other in panic. The narrow space caused them to lose their most basic evasive ability at the beginning of the battle.

Even though the North Sea Fleet that raided only had 30 Thors, the Austin warships were still ignited and sunk one by one like briquettes, and turned into debris floating on the sea in the explosion.

"Hey, how many people are there here? Isn't this a supply ship, but a troop transport fleet?" This discovery made Urcondo shiver with excitement. What a big fish he caught.

In just half an hour, the outer warships of the Audidin people were like shells that had been chewed off, and the entire circle was turned into fireballs on the sea. In front of the surging North Sea wolves, the transport ship was the largest. Its size became a living target for Thor's shooting, and streams of fire like a dragon's mouth continued to spray out from the front, rear, left and right of various warships of the North Sea Fleet, and exploded in the Austin transport fleet.

This was a confrontation between old and new concepts of naval warfare. Although the Austinites had more carrier troops and warships, the result was a complete defeat in front of the Falcon Fleet, which had abandoned the old-fashioned boarding battle.

The Austinites' transport ships were completely lost. In a sense, this war against rebellion has ended early.

The huge explosion soon alerted the main force of the Austin fleet, which was engaged in a fierce battle with the Willandra rebel warships a mile away. Commander Sliange, the commander of the Austin fleet, who felt that he had been ambushed, watched with great regret as he had been completely ambushed. The suppressed six rebel sailing warships could only reluctantly issue orders that might cause the entire crusade to be wasted.

"Leave an equal number of warships to continue to entangle with the Veerandra rebel warships. The other warships immediately returned to rescue" Fleet Commander Sliange's order was quickly issued to all warships. Although he was full of reluctance, each ship's The captain carried it out anyway. The transport fleet was really too important to the crusade fleet.

The fleet has come from afar, and both its personnel and supplies are on these transport ships. If the transport ship is taken over by someone, it will be a disaster. Even if you defeat the six rebel warships in front of you, what's the use? You can't drive the warships to the land of Willandra. The real occupation still requires the army to implement it.

But the cruel scene that appeared in front of them completely shocked the Austinites. It had only been half an hour for 20 transport ships full of troops, and now only a few were still swaying on the sea. Surrounding them, a dozen small sail warships were frantically fighting to death.

There were broken pieces of shipwreck everywhere. The corpses of Austin's sailors were floating on the sea of ​​ice, and large swaths of corpses that had condensed with hoarfrost almost covered the original white color of the sea. Sometimes it was washed up by the rapids and turbulent water columns as the warships passed by.

"Quick, charge forward." The sailors of Austin's fleet had bloodshot eyes. So many of their colleagues died in battle. Such a tragic defeat was something they had never imagined.

But the North Sea Fleet's first appearance still made the Austinites' eyeballs twitch. No one had ever encountered such an opponent, and they could no longer be described as brave. They are simply ruthless gangsters who are not afraid of death.

Perhaps the fight was too smooth. Due to improper driving, a small assault warship chasing the transport ship rushed directly into the group of Austin sailing warships that were returning to fight.

There was a crisp collision sound, and the small assault warship collided with a North Sea sailing warship. The front end of the assault warship was smashed into pieces on the spot, and the entire ship was embedded in the side of the North Sea sailing warship.

"Is this a self-inflicted trap?" The Austin people laughed. This situation is really rare in a thousand years. This is probably the most unexpected way of capture.

"Seize it" The North Sea sailing warship was crowded with people, and a large number of sailors ran towards the knocked-out bottom cabin below. They wanted to avenge their dead companions and cut these hateful enemies into pieces. At this moment , a dull rumble suddenly came from the belly of the sailing warship in the North Sea,

Finding that they could not escape, the Falcon sailors ignited more than ten Thor cannon shells piled on the small warship, and set off a super large firework at their own expense. The cabin of the North Sea sail warship was like a magician's performance, with a huge Explosions came one after another, like a giant dragon rolling violently in the cabin,

"Rumble" A fierce fire broke through the deck and illuminated the entire sea surface. The thin deck of the North Sea sailing warship seemed to have been lifted from the inside by countless big hands, and raindrop-like debris was lifted up with the air waves and fire. In mid-air, the entire battleship seemed to have been burst open, and it was directly broken from the middle of the keel of the hull before two huge explosions, front and back.

"What's going on?" The Austinites who were already laughing so hard had their mouths twitching and their faces turning pale. They had never seen such a terrifying scene.

"Asshole" Commander Sliang of the Austin fleet was livid with anger, and punched the side of the battleship. The fierce battle has continued until now, and he still doesn't know who his opponent is. Who can bear such cowardly anger?

"Order the Scars to come forward and use its size to smash their queues." Sliang waved his hand and shouted to the messenger behind him, because the sea was covered with burning wreckage of warships, and the thick smoke shrouding the front made him ignore the opponent's large size. The existence of warships, but the mistaken judgment that the opponent is a group of small warships with mainly maneuverability

As the order was issued, a northern warship that was one-third larger than other sailing warships came out of the queue. This was a large four-masted sailing warship. Its huge hull was obviously taller than other ships. At one end, six huge sails with the trident emblem of the Osting Army printed on them stood there like a living target.

"Prepare a salvo, kill it for me." Urcondo, who was standing on the command bridge of the Dragon Tooth battleship, also stared at the large enemy warship that was assigned as the vanguard. He put down the lookout in his hand and gave a loud order. commanded,

A minute later, a fierce fire suddenly burst out from a distance. Penetrating the thick smoke in front and hitting the front of the Austin fleet, this was a salvo of 12 Thor cannons fired from the side of the real Falcon battleship Dragon Tooth, in the eyes of Austinites. This fire is even more intense than the midday sun,

"Rumble" The North Sea sailing warship Scars at the front of the queue was hit on the spot, turning into a huge fireball and covering the front of the Austin fleet, causing rough waves on the sea.

The North Sea Fleet, which was killing the momentum, was like a huge horizontal guillotine pressing down from the side of the Austin fleet, and the fighting wind swelled. Thick white smoke hung over the sea. As the sea breeze blew, both sides finally saw the whole picture for the first time.

"Attention, 100 meters from the starboard side." As the turbulent sea breeze blew away the white mist, an old warship also discovered the Austin warship that was attacking from its right.

"Quick, turn the helm thirty, all gun muzzles point to the right and immediately determine the target distance" the captain yelled at the top of his lungs, and the Falcon sailors below shouted. Strive to push the heavy Thor cannon on the left side of the ship to the starboard side for easier shooting. There was a rolling friction sound on the deck, and Thor cannon shells containing the will of revenge were loaded into the muzzle.

"Target, 110-meter shooting preparation." The rangefinder stood upright against the waves and gestured with his fingers towards an Austin warship traveling parallel to him not far away.

"Whoop!" A sling shot fired from the Austin sailing warship opposite him passed a few meters away from his side with a roar, and hit the deck heavily. The howling wind made his hair fly, but still Standing there motionless. Several Falcon sailors nearby were unable to dodge and were swept in. The sound of cracking bones was heard from behind, and blood covered the deck.

"What are you doing standing still? Hit me hard." The rangefinder turned around and shouted to the stunned cannons around him. At the same time, the sound of counterattack artillery also sounded. Five dazzling flames shot out from the side of the warship like squeezed persimmons, and white water columns stirred up ten-meter-high water columns on the side of the opponent's warship.

Four of the five shells missed, or just grazed the side of the opponent's ship. Only one extremely destructive hammer shell, spinning at a roaring high speed, crashed into the Austin sailing warship from the broken side.

"Long live it, we hit it." Everyone cheered on the deck. The North Sea sail warship was very fast, which made many gunners uncomfortable.

Within the scope visible to the naked eye, the Falcon sailors saw that the keel of the inner hull of the Austin warship opposite was smashed by a hammer on the spot, and the sailors inside were turned into bloody minced meat. Amidst the voices of crying fathers and mothers, the hull went up and down. The deck lost its support and collapsed heavily from above, hitting the stern rudder. The speed of the entire ship dropped rapidly, and finally it seemed that it had lost control and was spinning in the middle of the sea.

"Hurry up, one more shell will sink it." The Falcon gunners who discovered this shouted loudly. In the fierce battle just now, all the Thor shells stacked on the deck had been fired, and the sailors of the North Sea Fleet had already fired I was sweating profusely from the beating, and even in the cold North Sea, there were hot air waves above my head.

"No, just one box." A sailor took off his shirt, went to the gun bunker shirtless, ran up to the deck carrying a box of heavy Thor bombs, and looked at the half-disabled enemy ship on the other side. The gunner He gestured with his hands, stuffed a Thor cannon shell into the muzzle, and said to himself, "Don't worry, one shot is enough to kill it."

Rumble

A stream of fire shot out from the side of the warship. Under the gaze of everyone, the roaring shells streaked across the sea, dragging out a long arc, right in the middle of the bridge of the sailing warship in the North Sea, and countless broken wooden boards "popped" from The bridge exploded, and the fire caused by the explosion even lit up the sea. The bridge where the fire exploded opened a huge hole.

The sailors and captain above were all thrown into the air by the violent explosion like little toys. The main mast near the bridge fell heavily on the deck from a high place, and all kinds of debris fell into the air. burst like raindrops

No more, the fight can't go on. Commander Sliang of the Austin Fleet looked at the chaotic situation in front of him, and his eyebrows were completely twisted together. He could no longer use words to describe the extent of this disastrous defeat. The opponent's warships Although there are not many in number, they are extremely sturdy and powerful long-range attack weapons, just like a group of knights carrying spears massacring a group of peasant soldiers. Even those small warships ran rampantly among the own fleet without fear. Without any fear, the own warships did not even have a chance to get close, and were fired into a ball of fire by the opponent a hundred meters away.

"Order the fleet to retreat" at the critical moment. Sliang could only grit his teeth and issue the order for the entire fleet to retreat. The beaten Austin fleet could no longer continue fighting. The retreat horn sounded with a bit of grief and anger on the sea, and the Austin warships left the battle one after another. , began to gather in the direction of the flagship,

With everything in sight, Sliange looked at the almost crippled fleet in front of him. His heart was as cold as the northern sea in front of him. Who is this mysterious fleet? Such confusion made the annoyance in his heart as entangled as a curse.

His eyes swept across the sea, feeling heartbroken. After the fierce battle, there were less than ten warships appearing in front of him at this moment, which was completely incomparable to the mighty and huge fleet of 40 warships when they set off. In other words. In just one hour of contact, 4 of the 14 Austin main sailing warships that returned to fight were sunk and 3 seriously damaged.

The other seven remaining ships were all more or less damaged by large and small holes. In the bleak situation, ignoring the remaining six warships that were still fighting fiercely with the rebels, Sliange used the mentality of a strong man to cut off his wrist. The fleet chose to evacuate to the northern sea. This excellent naval commander knew very well that if he did not give such a ruthless order, the entire rebellious fleet would be annihilated, and the naval power established by the Austinites over several generations would also be destroyed. will lose more than half,

Only the fleet was saved. Only in this way can we preserve the traditional interests of Austinites,

Watching the Austin fleet disappearing on the northern sea dragging thick smoke, Urcondo also issued a tacit order to prohibit pursuit. He knew that although the Austin main city fleet suffered heavy losses, its main force still existed. This is not necessarily a good thing for Austin Carlos, who wants to go north to the main city. But it is the content that is most in line with His Majesty Falcon’s instructions,

An Austin with civil war is far more in line with the needs of the empire than a unified and strong Austin. Before the imperial army conquers Asuo, it is a strategic choice to use civil strife to hold back the Austinites. ,

The battle on the sea of ​​Willandra lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon. It was discovered that the six Austin warships whose main force had evacuated were surrounded and annihilated by the fleets of Urcondo and Austin Carlos in the sea outside Willandra.

The defeat of this battle against rebellion dealt a heavy blow to the ambitious Austin fleet. More than 30 warships were destroyed in total, and more than 7,000 troops were lost. After this battle, the Austinites His prestige suffered a major blow. The biggest impact of the disastrous defeat of the rebel army was not the losses of soldiers and warships, but the fact that the Austinites had broken their control over coastal areas for generations and the imbalance of military power had led to many similar threats. Coastal ports like Landra join the ranks against the main city,

Along with the turbulent battle situation in the North Sea, on the northern edge of Dongting Grassland, a thin black line also appeared in the sight of the Asuo border guards. This black line seemed to be all over the distant horizon, covering the entire The earth is filled to the brim without any gaps. The wind and clouds between the sky and the earth change color. Even the sun that just came out is covered by the black flag, and no sunlight can be seen anymore.

Since discovering that the Dongting people were massing troops on the border, Asuo immediately strengthened the defense on the border. In one fell swoop, he eliminated the close enemy of the Dika tribe and completed substantial control over the Hulanbei area. The Soviet army has The original number of more than 40,000 people suddenly expanded to 80,000 people. In terms of military strength, they have become the well-deserved overlord of the northern cold region. Even the Austin people, the largest ethnic group in the north, who have always been strong, have to admit that Asuo man’s dominance on land,

"Hurry up, gather together, the people from Dongting are coming."

Looking at the black line appearing on the edge of the grassland in the distance, the outpost arranged by the Asuos on the border quickly sounded a warning bell, and the military camp nearby immediately became commotion, and the countless black spots looked like they had been stabbed. Like ants, they ran out of the white tents. The army from the northern cold region stationed 30,000 people here, of which 10,000 were Asuo people, and 20,000 were joint forces from several other border tribes.

Because there was a rugged hillside on the border, the assembled Asuo soldiers quickly saw what was coming in front of them. The Northland soldiers who had just assembled suddenly became commotion.

The Kugit three-star flag fluttered in the wind. It swept over like a flood digging a dike. Wherever it passed, countless flying horse hooves trampled across the grass, bringing up the broken snow and withered weeds on the ground. Wrapping them into a tornado-like team, they collided back and forth among the dense hooves until they were completely crushed and disappeared into the fierce cold wind.

There are more than 30,000 cavalry. Finally stopped 500 meters from the border,

The war horses are almost connected by their hoofs. The gray and dark sky seems to be condensed with the Kukit archers.

The air seemed to be very heavy and breathing was very difficult. The soldiers in the cold northern land could feel their hearts beating rapidly.

Endless tension surged from all directions in the west,

‘Putting a gun’

They formed crooked spear arrays with the captain shouting angrily, and erected dense forests of spears on the border wall with sharp spears.

The dense sound of bowstrings being pulled was accompanied by a murderous intent. The archers on the battlements of the defense line pulled the tight bowstrings in their hands, closely monitoring the every move of the Kugit archers in the distance, ready to strike head-on at any time to any enemy who crossed the border.
