Realm of Power

Hyland, Sea of ​​Mists

The Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Navy, Dustelenko, stood on the deck of the battleship with a stern expression, looking at the bursts of fire in the white fog in front of him from the circle of the lookout glass. Hedland was worthy of the name of the Sea of ​​Fog, especially In offshore areas, the fog is like a thick layer of cotton blocking the line of sight. Thirty meters away, it is almost impossible to see. Qing, if it hadn't been for the things sent by His Majesty Falcon, Dostelenko would never have thought that he would be able to ambush his opponent in this environment. But now, everything has changed. Inadvertently, Dostelenko turned his attention to the battleship. In the sky above, there are several small black spots, and a long and thick rope tied to the main mast of the battleship stretches towards the sky.

It is a thing called a hydrogen balloon, which can rise after being filled with a certain kind of gas. Each hydrogen balloon carries two people, an operator, a navy flagman, four hydrogen balloons, and four flaggers. ``The m hand corresponds to the four powerful attack squadrons of the Imperial Navy. The diffuse fog becomes very thin when it rises to more than thirty meters. Standing at that height, I dare not say that I can see everything at a glance, but it is not a problem to roughly confirm the location of the target. The imperial fleet went south from the waters of Kyoto, Istanbul, and arrived at An ambush was set up near the Hyland coastline. These four hydrogen balloons were the largest. Rely on and always pay attention to the direction of the coastline. The main force of the Southern Allied Navy is still traveling in confusion. When it thinks it is extremely safe, the flag indicating that the target has been found has been waved on the hydrogen balloon. "Quick, readjust the target... 376 meters ahead, left Turn seventeen degrees! "In the bombardment bay of the Imperial Navy! Inside, similar sounds were continuously made, and the thick smoke emitted from the shooting formed a smoke ring about a hundred meters long on the sea. It was impossible to determine too specific targets. All imperial warships adopted range-based scattering. , and saw countless thunder bullets dragging their tails, pouring away like a storm. There were faint explosions and flashes of red light in the white fog, water columns rising into the sky, firelight reflecting on the rolling sea water, the roar of the eight thousand imperial thunder gods, shocking large-scale scattering, and ferocious collisions. On the hulls of the southern warships equipped with side iron plates,

"Rumble" flames shot up into the sky. Even the thick fog could not block the fire caused by the hit warship, and it soon became the target of the next wave of attacks. The southern coalition fleet was suddenly attacked and was completely thrown into chaos. The enemy was unknown and the attack was unknown. The surrounding vision was completely restricted. Friendly ships were constantly being seen being hit. Thick smoke was billowing. One after another, the entire sea surface was illuminated in an instant. Be translucent!

The vast numerical superiority of the southern naval fleet. It was completely useless in the heavy fog of Hyland. Instead, the stoppage and explosion of the hit warship made the whole scene chaotic. He just saw that the heavy-tonnage warship traveling in front of him was hit and exploded on the spot. The bow of the ship was pressed down heavily and turned into a scattering of water. A huge explosion was immediately felt from behind. The main force of the southern navy wanted to avoid collision in the fog this time. The distance between the two battleships was only about twenty meters. This distance was seen by the Imperial Navy hundreds of meters away. It can almost be ignored. The length of a heavy battleship is more than 20 meters. Since there is a fire bursting at that location, it proves that the target has been hit, so it bombards the fire point with all its strength. This is what the Imperial Navy is doing.

"The enemy is coming from the northeast!"

"Quick, spread out"

The captains of the Southern Navy were shouting almost crazy, violent artillery fire came like raindrops, and the sea boiled and raised countless water columns. One after another, the Southern warships were hit and set on fire. The huge water columns raised by the Thor bombs were like Like dumplings being dropped, the dense surroundings exploded like spores that suddenly bloomed in the sea. The water column reached the sky, and the white waves pushed forward with the bow of the ship. The thunder bullets trailing thick smoke tails were as dense as a heavy rain. The fireballs streaked across the sea with roars and flames. Broken wood flew everywhere, and the sturdy iron bow was also disemboweled. With a sound Violent explosions came 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.

The huge hull of the battleship was burning under thick flames, and the naval battleships were scurrying around in confusion nearby.

"Sir! What should we do?" The adjutant's request sounded a little restless. The constant sound of explosions violently affected Robens' nerves! The raid turned into an ambush, and under such incomprehensible circumstances, his mind was completely blank. He did not believe that the other party could clearly understand the location of each battleship in such a fog. The most likely possibility was that it was a rough guess. position, the opponent's shooting is still at the level of covering fire. Robenes has very rich combat experience. He reacted immediately and thought When he realized that the Imperial Navy's fleet might be waiting in a certain direction in the fog for the Southern battleships to break away from the fleet, waiting to completely annihilate the entire Southern fleet, Robenes felt a chill rising involuntarily. Three hundred and seventy Southern battleships, This is already the largest strength of the Southern Navy. Once it fails, it will not only lose a battle, but the entire inland sea, and even the entire Oparo!

"Sir, watch the port side!"

Just as Robens was thinking, the adjutants around him pushed him away, and then heard a deafening explosion. The hot air waves directly knocked Robens over, the deck shattered, and the sailor Staggering around on the deck, their bodies collided with the side of the ship like a rolling gourd. Some people even fell from the side of the ship into the sea, making horrifying noises from their mouths. With screams, I saw a series of explosions in the direction of the side deck, one after another in the firelight, and the heat wave turbulence erupted, setting off violent waves on the sea. The deck was full of broken and falling wood, and the deck was covered with debris. The Thor bombs were ignited, and waves of heat burned into the cabin. The powerful attack wave lifted the deck of the battleship like a toy, throwing all the debris on it into the air.

"Asshole!" Robbenis waited until the explosion stopped before standing up angrily. The sight that caught his eyes made him gasp. Most of his flagship was destroyed. There were flames burning, and he was surrounded by chaotic fire extinguisher. Sailor Robenes was furious. He felt a burning pain in his back, his eyes went black, his body shook, and he wiped his hand on the severe pain on his back. full of blood

"Emergency contact with other battleships, spread out with all your strength, prepare to escape!" Robens shouted to his adjutant, when a flash of light instantly turned his face white, and a huge explosion came from the tail of the battleship. On the side, the scorching wind blew him away with a huge impact. With a rumble, the heat wave brought up a lot of debris and hit it on the side of the ship. "Sir, we have been shot!"

The adjutant's whole body lay on the ground. There was a raging fire, and half of the deck at the rear of the battleship was lifted into the air by the violent explosion. The ship's hull was filled with sparks. The adjutant shouted out with an ugly expression. Robbenis shook his dizzy head and raised his head to look at the completely messy ship. On the deck, the sailors ran to the back carrying various tools to put out the fire. Robens climbed up from the deck and held his hands on the half-broken side of the ship. A pair of eyes were filled with reflections of burning flames. Even though he was at the rear of the fleet, it was conceivable that the attacks encountered in front were more intensive. Could it be that the main force of the southern navy was destroyed in this sea of ​​fog without any reason!

"Order all the battleships in the rear group to turn around, heavy battleships, and deploy the spindle array!"

Robens said in a hoarse voice like a broken bellows, looking away from the queue in front of him that was in complete chaos. A pair of hands clenched tightly, and the enemy's attack came from the northeast. This can be seen from the direction of the fire that exploded from the middle bullet. Although I don’t know why the opponent found the location of the fleet so accurately in such a fog, if the bombardment is allowed to continue, the entire fleet will be destroyed here. Now we can only hope to open a barrier with the heavy warships, hoping to To buy some time for the entire fleet to turn around, he saw it In fact, the Falcon Empire fleet could not fully see the fleet situation. Most of the shots were covering shots. This was the only chance for the fleet to escape from the ambush circle. Robbenis' rear fleet did not hide from the movement of the fleet. Over the sight of the hydrogen balloon, the news soon reached Dustrunkai.

"Commander-in-Chief, the enemy's rear team wants to evacuate!"

"Don't worry about the opponent's rear team, order the fleet to hit the opponent with all its strength and cut it open from the middle!" Dustronkai narrowed his eyes into a line. The number of the opponent's fleet was indeed large enough, and the masses of fire were in the fog. It exploded, but the length pulled out by the opponent was too long. The Imperial Navy Thor poured out all its strength regardless of the ammunition. It hit many battleships, but they scattered in the chaos. There are more battleships on the other side, and the fog can only temporarily block the opponent's sight. Many southern battleships have already noticed the direction of the Imperial fleet, like a huge arc, they are pumping up their sails in the direction of the Imperial fleet. Sail over, and at this time, the fog has become an obstacle to the Imperial Navy, and the advantage of range attacks is disappearing. Soon, there will be an encounter and a strangulation battle between the two sides!

On a heavy battleship of the Southern Navy, Joshua, the commander of the Southern Navy's front fleet, was bandaging his wounds with the help of his adjutant. His right arm was hit by the debris from the explosion. His entire shoulder was covered in blood and was covered with gauze. It took him three floors to stop the bleeding, and his whole face was extremely pale. A naval officer was nervously reporting the battle damage: "The Alisu squadron was severely damaged, six ships were sunk, and thirteen ships were injured."

"The battleship Yaris, the flagship of the Lu Squadron, was sunk...Seven ships were sunk and eleven were injured." "The flagship of the Bikoya Squadron had its tail wheel smashed and the ship was abandoned. There are only six tribesmen left in the squadron." Is that all?" Joshua raised his left hand, which was still intact, with a pale face. He heard the names of the battle-damaged ships in his ears, and looked at a medium-sized warship on his side, which was once again attacked by the opponent. Exploded into a ball of fire, his expression was as cold as steel. As the front team of the entire fleet, in order to block the possible escape direction of the fleet, 40% of the Imperial Navy's firepower was dumped on his front team, so the front team The loss was the heaviest, but in terms of reaction, the front team was also the fastest. They quickly determined the direction of the attack by the imperial fleet, and came frantically despite the artillery fire.

They were using their own blood and sacrifice to gain a chance of victory for the entire fleet. During the upgrade, southern warships were constantly hit by bullets and burning in the sea breeze. The sailors above jumped into the sea in a hurry, and countless The broken wooden deck is floating on the sea, but at this moment, there is no choice to turn back, only to move forward desperately,

"Hit, sink them!"

The imperial warship's Dragon Tooth Ship sprayed huge fireballs towards a densely packed target in the distance at a rate of one every forty seconds and one every thirty seconds. The sea was full of flaming warships. There were sailors diving in embarrassment everywhere, and red flames rolled like disasters on the sea. This sight stimulated the adrenaline glands of the imperial sailors.

The mist near the sea has become thinner at twelve o'clock in the morning, coupled with the chaos of countless warships and the warming air. The southern fleet finally saw the enemy who attacked them. To the northeast, a whole Platoon of Imperial battleships bombarded Like intersecting meteors, they tore the decks on the side of the battleship into pieces. The battleship shook violently in an instant, and the explosive light group released from the damaged position formed a violent shock wave, sweeping like a hurricane. The interior of the battleship.

"Rumble"

Countless water columns intertwined on the sea surface to create a spectacular and tragic scene. The hit warship was swept in instantly like leaves in a storm.

"Order, dragon-class battleships to engage!" Dostelenko looked away from the incomplete naval flag in the lookout mirror, and calmly said to his deputy behind him. The elite navies of the six countries cannot be destroyed by a sneak attack.

After leaving the rear group, there are still more than a hundred Southern Navy warships in front of the Imperial Navy.

The imperial sailors in the gun room choked and coughed violently, and their eyes were stung by the sulfur. "Reload, hurry up!" But the gunners couldn't care so much. The opponent's fleet group was approaching very fast, but Thor fired continuously, and the gunners had reached the point where they needed to cover their mouths and noses with wet towels.

"The queue has changed, the dragon-class battleships are fighting!" The flag bearer on the mast loudly conveyed the order from the flagship. The dragon tooth battleships in the first combat order began to spread out to both sides, revealing the empires in the middle that were like sea fortresses. Dragon-class main battleship, the Dragon-class flax disc main gun on the bow of the flagship ship began to rotate in the direction of the southern navy. In the sea of ​​fog, the fog dissipated, replaced by rows of white smoke (to be completed) Continued…)
