Realm of Power

The fleet is turning into a swarm of silver arrows, splitting the waves on the rough sea. Standing on the bow of the Aden Hurricane battleship, Naval Commander Gude Yago, whose pale head is almost seventy years old, is fluttering with the sea breeze. , his eyes flashed with complicated expressions, staring at the giant ship in front of him, which consisted of one hundred and ten naval battleships and more than three hundred transport ships. The large fleet departs from the Longting Port located outside the waters controlled by the Kingdom of Aden. The bow of the ship is like a razor, and on the forest-like mast, the huge sail is facing the rising sun in the east, representing the huge silver moon of the Kingdom of Aden. The flag seemed to be embroidered with a golden edge in the sun, and white seagulls were chirping and rising and falling from the mast of the ship.

In the memory of the old commander, the only time such a large-scale fleet dispatch occurred was when the Kingdom of Aden launched a life-and-death struggle against the Nansi Empire fifty years ago. It was also because of the failure of the westward expansion that the Kingdom of Aden decided to They pulled themselves out of the quagmire of the Luo battlefield and decisively shifted their focus eastward. As the great oasis was gradually unified by the Aden people, the Aden people's desire to expand to the east became increasingly high.

Finally, at the unanimous request of the entire kingdom, the Kingdom of Aden decided to risk a war with the then powerful overlord, the Nansi Empire. The stranglehold between the navies of both sides became the focus of the entire campaign. The Nansi Navy had dominated the sea for more than thirty years, with countless warships and outstanding generals. There are many officials gathered, and Navy Commander Rayal Bomi is even known as a naval genius that is rare to see in the Nansi Empire for a century.

Faced with such an opponent, the Aden Navy, which had devoted the whole country's efforts and spent five years to build it, could hardly be said to be a newcomer. After several collisions, the Aden Navy suffered a disastrous defeat. In the end, it was the Red Dragon Palace that contributed the black The secret of oil, the Aden Navy equipped with black oil jets. In the end, an ambush was set up in the Kurai Strait, and the main force of the arrogant Nansi Navy was burned to death in one fell swoop. The commander of the Nansi Navy, Rayal Bomi, committed suicide. Three-quarters of the battleships were lost, and more than 50,000 outstanding naval personnel were killed. The naval officer system that had only been cultivated for ten years was completely lost in this battle, and even three generations of ancestors and grandchildren were killed in the tragic battle.

In that battle, the Kingdom of Aden lost 23,000 sailors and killed 117 heroic nobles, ushering in its golden age. At that time, Gudeya was still the youngest son who was among the crowd seeing off his father. Looking at his father wearing a straight uniform of the Kingdom's Navy, he waved goodbye to himself with a decisive expression, and the warship flew the flag of the Aden Navy. The group, like this, headed towards the sea area representing the east of the kingdom. Fifteen days later, the news came back that made the entire Kingdom of Aden excited. The Aden naval fleet defeated the Nanxi Imperial Navy, the overlord of the sea area, and replaced Nanxi as the leader of the sea area in front of them. Master, from that moment on, the sea area in front of me became the maritime territory of the Kingdom of Aden.

For the Aden Navy, the victory in the Battle of Kulai is the most glorious moment of the Aden Navy. However, in the eyes of Gudeya, the Battle of Kulai represents another meaning, that is, advanced weapons are enough to determine the naval battle. The balance of victory, even with the excellence of the Nanxi Navy and the command of the first navy general, is still the same in the face of absolute suppression. It is a situation of defeat. The naval battle is different from the 6th battle. It is impossible to carry out operations according to the terrain, weather, and even special environments like the 6th battle. In naval battles, except for specific lure ambush, in most cases, the collision of naval fleets They all met unexpectedly, and both sides were unprepared. Whoever has the most advanced weapons will win the battle.

Fifty years have passed, and children have turned into old men. The dominance of the Aden Navy has also begun to be challenged by another powerful enemy, and that is the Falcon Empire.

The Falcon Empire's six armies, with the momentum of a hurricane, rose up strongly in just five or six years, conquered the traditional great empire of Gaul in the north, annexed Congo and Barro in Central Europe, and then swept through Barro in Central Europe, and Istanbul. The Empire could not stop the Imperial Army's pace of conquest, which eventually led to the North-South War that attracted worldwide attention. Facing the entire South, the Falcon Empire's Army defeated the Southern Allied Forces with the power of one country, shocking the world and completely establishing the Falcon Empire's power in Europe. Luo Di The well-deserved supremacy of the region spread throughout the entire continent, including the Falcon Armored World, the Imperial Crossbow, the Heavy Crossbow, fuel bombs, Thors, and even small bombs. The emergence of these new weapons is Step by step, the imperial army has been pushed to the pinnacle of the era. An extremely powerful super empire spanning three continents has taken shape under everyone's trembling eyes. This is an empire with a population of more than 200 million, a geographical length and width of Overlords who have traveled five thousand miles,

Compared with the powerful Imperial Army, the Imperial Navy has no less ambition than the Imperial Army and has turned the entire Obaro Inland Sea into the Imperial Inland Sea. Its weapons are sharp and its performance is even crazier than that of the Imperial Army. The Imperial Thunder God The main force of the navy shattered the inland sea with flashes of fire. The number of warships in the Imperial Navy also expanded from less than fifty at the beginning to over two hundred now.

The dragon-class battleship is large enough to be called a sea fortress in terms of size and firepower. It is equipped with the Flax Butterfly Thunder Cannon, which is said to be able to sink a main battleship with one hit. It is the real dragon of the sea, making it invincible to the enemy and capable of tearing apart enemies quickly. It can crush any enemy's fast Dragon Teeth warships, and can even drive into inland waterways. It can carry out powerful attacks on targets ranging from armies to cities and coastal areas. It has completely changed the impression that the traditional navy can only sail and sea, and has become an empire to attack and threaten the enemy. A powerful weapon that has changed the war situation of the empire many times

What made Gudeyago frown the most was not only the sharp weapons of the Imperial Navy, but also the outstanding naval admirals that the Imperial Navy had cultivated in a series of naval battles, from the Gallic Navy to the Congolese Navy. Non-Navy, Strand Navy, these navies that are rampant in the Obarro area have now become a historical force. However, the total number of battleships of these navies is a real and daunting number. One thousand ships. Even a conservative estimate, Gudeago believes that this number is only a lot more. Such a number After all the naval battles, only God knows what kind of naval monsters have been cultivated.

This is a crazy opponent, powerful, fearless, cutting-edge, courageous, and ruthless. With new weapons, he uses all kinds of naval combat power to subvert everyone's attention. He has no sense of honor and is stained with misdeeds. In order to achieve strategic goals, He even bombarded civilians and cities many times. He was as smart and cunning as a fox. He killed his opponents several times even when they were ambushed, creating jaw-dropping results one after another. This is a man whose combat power and willpower are both outstanding. A new-style navy that is subversive in the times

When the old commander Gudeago was reviewing documents about the Imperial Navy's battles in his office, the scene that popped into his mind the most was actually before the great sea battle fifty years ago that ushered in the golden age of the Kingdom of Aden. , those young naval officers in the Aden Navy who are full of blood and have no idea why they are afraid. They, a group that has been forgotten by most people in Aden, finally used their own sacrifices to lead the powerful Nansi Navy into an ambush circle for the rise of the Kingdom of Aden. Along with the burning warships of the Nansi Navy, they sank together in the That battle in the depths of that tragic sea ushered in the golden age of Aden

In the following twenty years, the Aden navy entered the South China Sea and opened up a golden trade route from the sea of ​​Aden to the sea of ​​Central Asia. The wealth from far and wide in the Eastern Continent flowed into the Kingdom of Aden, prospering every corner of Aden. Lights, the territory of the Kingdom of Aden has expanded more than three times compared to fifty years ago. The unified oasis has become a golden business line running through the two continents. Aden, which occupies such an important position, is naturally making a lot of money. The bowl is full, and it was originally covered with thorns The nobles who came from Aden have long lost the spirit of their ancestors who forged swords into plowshares after decades of prosperity. Most of the things floating on the blue sea of ​​Aden are full of goods that can bring wealth to the nobles. The merchant ships and the latest warships were all built ten years ago. Not many people still remember that if it weren’t for the bloody battles of the Aden Navy, this trade route would not have been opened, and Aden’s merchant ships would not have had a chance. It's easy to come and go here

All this changed half a year ago. In Qinglong Bay in the South China Sea, the Song fleet and the Falcon Empire Navy attacked the Aden Navy. The Aden Navy's Zhongbia Squadron was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. In the following six months, the Aden Navy The strongholds in the South China Sea in Central Asia were pulled out one by one by the Imperial Navy, and the sea trade lines from the Eastern Continent were suddenly interrupted. This news was like an earthquake among the nobles in Aden.

The empire's battle for Cornelia Port has already made the nobles of Aden dissatisfied. Cornelia, as the other end of the desert crossing trade route, is very important to Aden, otherwise the Kingdom of Aden would not hesitate at all costs. The price is to snatch Cornelia from the hands of the Erro Empire, but due to special The reason, coupled with the news released by the Red Dragon Palace, is that the Kingdom of Aden has given up on Cornelia, the golden outlet to the sea. The impact caused by this has already made the Aden nobles begin to feel the pressure. Now, even the eastern trade line They have also been threatened. If this continues, the Aden nobles will have a financial deficit.

At this time, a message sent back by Yaglen, the great elder of the Red Dragon Palace who was responsible for the affairs of the Eastern Continent, made the entire Kingdom of Aden boil.

The Great Elder Yagren has been in the East for more than ten years and has always been the spokesperson of the Kingdom of Aden in Central Bia. Over the past ten years, the Great Elder has secretly collected enough information about Central Bia to fill three rooms. In the big house, no one will question the words of this highly respected elder. Lie. In fact, the report was submitted in the name of the Red Dragon Palace. Just like fifty years ago, it was also the report submitted by the Red Dragon Palace that made the Kingdom of Aden decide to withdraw from the dispute over Obarro and start to The expansion of the continent eventually formed the current Aden

"The Central Asian Empire in the Eastern Continent has reached the point of disintegration under the abuse of the prairie cavalry. Its huge wealth and land are in a state of being unattended." At the meeting in front of the King of Aden, a piece of paper was placed. With this report on the table, the king and ministers of Aden could not help but breathe a little thicker.

According to the report of Grand Elder Yagren, the entire Zhongbia court has only a mere 100,000 troops, and their armaments are lax. Fifty percent of the recruits are unable to fight, and they are also surrounded by the Imperial Army on the Deyang line. , may be destroyed at any time

For a large empire with a population of tens of millions, a hundred thousand troops are actually no more. In the eyes of the kings and ministers of Aden, this report is like seeing a big cake placed in an empty place. From the guarding position, you can pull out a large piece of cream with just a slight stretch of your hand.

"What do you think of this report from Great Elder Yaglen?" King Aden's deep ice-blue eyes looked out at the stars outside through the viewing window. He turned around and looked at his generals. Such an opportunity What lies ahead is a temptation for any monarch. If the Royal Army can land on 6, it is entirely possible to force the Central and Asian courts to surrender to the Kingdom of Aden in a short period of time and collect this vast and fertile land without any effort. Aden territory

If this is really achieved, this will definitely be the biggest gain in Aden's eastward march for more than a hundred years. As for the Emperor of Zhongbia, in Yagren's report, he only gave this evaluation, "Even if it is not the Imperial Navy's Suddenly, the navy of Aden has escorted this fatuous emperor of Central Asia back to Aden."

"Capture an Emperor"

The King of Aden's eyes seemed to be cloudy and uncertain. The way he looked at the night sky through the window further revealed the depth of the vast night hall. Under this black sky, how many things he couldn't see were happening.

Cornelia's defeat, the loss of nearly a million lives, finally allowed the western trade route exit of Aden to be controlled by the empire, which had a great impact on his reputation as a king, especially in the direction of the great desert oasis, those who were suppressed by Aden The oasis countries below are already on the verge of turbulence, and the nobles are complaining repeatedly because of the cutoff of commercial lines and loss of interests. Aden needs a successful external war to suppress domestic instability. Although his reign has been unusually long in recent generations, his external expansion has not been very smooth. In the North-South War, Aden's 60,000 elite camel cavalry participated in the battle and were almost completely wiped out. The battle for Cornelia , millions of troops The mobilization of Aden eventually came to nothing. The King of Aden even had a premonition that in the records of later generations, among the Aden monarchs who emerged in large numbers, his own evaluation was probably more of an ironic element. He was a arrogant king, a bitter king, and a widow. maker……

"Your Majesty, if this report by Great Elder Yaglen is half true, then we should give it a try. Even if we fail in the end, we can at least make up for the losses we have suffered in the Central and Eastern Biya region."

A general from the Kingdom of Aden stood up. He was Marshal Cautus of Aden. His brown hair was wavy like a lion's mane, making him look full of bravery, like a lion standing up. This Aden man A well-known expansionist in the army. He is one of the mainstream figures in expanding eastward and is also a leader of the Sixth Army. One of the three marshals, his eyes swept across the faces of the other generals unruly and sharply, and finally landed on the face of the naval commander Gudeago, and said coldly, "But the premise is that our naval fleet can send the Aden army to Go to the land of Central Asia instead of being sunk by the Falcon Emperor Navy halfway."
