Realm of Power

In the smoke-filled waters of southern Central and Bibia, Brandon Caruo, the commander of the Fifth Army of the Aden Eastern Expedition, frowned. Even an outsider in naval operations could tell that the situation ahead was getting more and more wrong. The losses of the frigate group were increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the enemy suddenly appeared. Pressing on both sides of the fleet like a fan, from time to time, battleships from the Aden side burst out with fierce fire and violent explosions. In the thick smoke, Brandon Kaoru could not see the specific things in front of him. The only thing I know about the situation is that the escort fleet used semaphore to order all transport ships to move towards Luoyan Island.

"Sir, it looks like the escort fleet won't be able to hold on for long. What should we do?" A subordinate asked with an ugly face. From 11 o'clock at noon to 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the fierce battle has been going on for more than an hour. Even if you don't understand naval warfare, It was also obvious that something was wrong. Especially after the enemy's three huge warships were invested, the entire battlefield situation became very clearly one-sided. "It's really infuriating. What do these frigate warships do? The kingdom spends so much money every year, He raised such a bunch of trash and was defeated like this..."

Officers of all levels on the Aden transport ship also gathered on both sides of the deck. With the naked eye, General looked at the battlefield with smoke billowing and gunfire rumbling in the distance. While belittling the navy's combat power, he also nervously saw the side of the transport ship appearing. The enemy's warships, the water rolling in from the fierce battle, the floating deck fragments, and the broken masts that had not yet sunk, all showed that the escort fleet had suffered heavy losses, and a roar from the distance made the army The officers couldn't help but held their breath. A large transport ship was hit, and billowing black smoke arose. People on the deck could be seen jumping toward the sea. "The enemy is coming up, on the left side." "Damn, this is What's going on, these despicable Imperial Navy have the ability to fight one-on-one on land! "The officers were also panicking at this moment, and then they remembered that if the naval escort fleet was destroyed, the other party would start to harvest wheat after autumn! Let’s harvest the transport ship in the same way

"Sir, please make a decision immediately..."

Brandon Carlo's adjutant said worriedly, but the following words were not spoken.

Brandon Carlo's face was livid, and he understood what his adjutant meant. He was suggesting that he abandon part of the transport ships to attract the enemy. Although they were all transport ships, because of the different number of people on them, the speeds were naturally different. The Kingdom of Aden has always been very hierarchical. , Most of the officers are from Aden nobles who think highly of themselves. How can they be crowded with ordinary soldiers? On the transport ship, except for the sailors and some servants, the number of soldiers was much smaller. The officers regarded this transfer as a vacation, while most of the soldiers were packed tightly into the remaining transport ships. As long as As long as the ship won't sink or capsize, "Sir, although it is helpless to give up some soldiers, it is also their honor to ensure that the nobles survive."

The adjutant looked hesitant and said, "And in this situation, I believe that even the superiors will agree with your decision." Brandon Carlo took a deep breath and closed his eyes in pain, knowing that this order was different from a direct order. It makes no difference to abandon those slow transport ships. The troops who can be ordered to be transferred back to Mars Crescent are naturally the best of the best, but in this vast ocean, their bravery is of no use. Once they are attacked by the enemy fleet , they became helpless The powerful lambs waiting to be slaughtered will eventually become the target of massacre by the enemy fleet. Even high-ranking Aden nobles like Brandon Carreau can't help but feel their scalp numb when they think of the sight of corpses floating on the sea. These damn navy How was everything planned? Such an important transportation, "Rumble" Another transport ship turned into a fireball in the explosion. The transport ship's huge sail was ignited, and countless sparks fell from high places like rain. The deck The Aden soldiers on the mountain were running back and forth, it was chaos, and the thick black The smoke came with the wind, and the hull of the ship was tilting. The people on top tried to grab anything that could fix themselves from falling, but as the tilt became larger and larger, they all eventually slipped into the sea. The people who fell into the sea were tilting the hull of the ship. Before taking the cover off, he swung his arms vigorously to try After swimming out of the range, he was eventually dragged down in the huge water whirlpool of the sinking hull. It was like a hell-like scene. "My lord, please order everyone to escape. With so many transport ships, the Imperial Navy may not be able to sink them all." , Your Majesty did not get off The order requires them to stop the Imperial Navy, which is already quite rare." The adjutant was also anxious next to him. Behind him, more than a dozen generals of the Aden Fifth Army were looking at him. As long as the transport ship was driven to the maximum speed, they would be able to do so quickly. They will soon be far away from the transport ships of ordinary soldiers. At that time, the enemy warships will pay attention to those slow transport ships, and their side can reach Luoyan Island safely. As long as they can run away, those ordinary soldiers will Even if they all die, it won't have much impact.

"What are you so anxious about? As a glorious nobleman of Aden, look at how you still look like a glorious nobleman now."

Brandon Carlo took a deep breath. Just as he was angrily scolding his subordinates, there was a huge explosion in the distance. A heavy Aden naval battleship seemed to be punched away by some force. A series of fires. From inside this heavy battleship The cabin lifted off the top deck, and even the thick five-story mast broke from it, bringing with it the burning canvas and its tragic fall. The broken deck collapsed under the weight, and the sea water poured from the side of the battleship. Two huge holes pour water in , the hull of the battleship tilted rapidly, Brandon Carlo suddenly heard the shouts of the officers on the deck, and heard a rattling sound in his ears, and saw that the hull of the heavy burning Aden heavy battleship was overwhelmed and fell from the sky. Big crack in the middle The big fracture suddenly turned into two upright parts, sinking like an onion upside down into the swirling sea water. In the end, only two floating naval flags were left floating in the water. One side was the flag of the Aden Navy, and the other side was a shield and sickle symbol

"It's the Lukuyu, the flagship of the escort fleet!" Seeing that unique naval flag, Brandon Carreau's face turned pale. The commander of the escort fleet, Extamas, was finished! At this moment, all the so-called glory flew nine days away. The flagship of the escort fleet sank in such a tragic state. You can imagine how ferocious the attacking imperial navy was. At this moment, Brandon Carroll did not dare to He persisted, nodded to the adjutant and the general behind him, and said word by word, "Give me my order. The frigate group can no longer stop the enemy's attack. The transport ships should break out in the direction of Luoyan Island."

"Yes, sir." The adjutant's face showed joy. Behind him, hearing the order conveyed by the adjutant, the officers on the deck suddenly cheered. Great, don't worry. There are so many transport ships, more than a hundred. Once the ship is fully dispersed, it is no different from a bunch of ducks. Even if the Imperial Navy warships want to pursue them, they can only pursue them selectively. The slowest ones are naturally the first choice! "What do you mean, break out!" "Everyone break out towards Luoyan Island! Isn't this a joke? How can our speed compare with the officers?" Seeing the raised command flag, the transport fleet was in an uproar. The transport fleet no longer cared about any formation. Queue, at this time, whoever can surpass his companions will have one more chance to survive. The clumsy hull of the transport ship is rushing on the sea. "Be careful." "Don't get close, don't, we'll hit you."

Some of the hulls collided directly with each other because they were too close. The sides of the colliding ships turned into sawdust and flew everywhere under the huge collision. The people on the deck were shaking even more, and the hulls were reacting even more. Under the force, it was swaying on the sea, facing the Aden transport ship that scattered across the board to escape.

The Imperial Navy Ryuga battleship attacking from the side is like two huge splints, trying its best to suppress the opponent and disperse.

The thunder bullets ejected from the side of the hull frequently penetrated the Aden transport ship. "What time has it been? I'm still worried about the loss of ammunition, and I'm firing on all cylinders." The admirals of the Imperial Dragon Teeth battleship gave their subordinates a majestic and reproachful look, and said The deputy shrank his head. After several years of strengthening, the Navy's Thunder God has reduced its muzzle. , reduced the firepower, but the shooting accuracy was greatly improved, and the shooting frequency was doubled. The smoke sprayed by Thor shook the entire battlefield into more chaos. In front of him, an astonishing number of Aden transport ships were fleeing as a whole, with various postures. There are even arrow clusters fired from some Aden transport ships.

Is this an arrow cluster? Is the other party humiliating themselves?

An admiral of the Imperial Dragon Teeth battleship looked at the tail feathers of the arrow clusters swinging on the side deck of his ship. He wiped his eyes. After confirming that he had seen correctly, the angry Imperial Navy admiral ordered an all-out bombardment, and a burst of fierce artillery fire quickly covered it. , was blown to pieces on the spot, the broken mast hit the deck, and many small black dots fell into the sea one after another. "Pursue across the board, be sure not to miss one "Custer Station" On the deck of the Dragon-class battleship, the battleship was surrounded by the burning wreckage of the Aden Navy battleship. There were all kinds of things floating on the sea, and there were densely packed corpses pushed away by the battleship, and then pushed back violently by the waves. Crash into the bottom of the battleship. Due to the addition of the firepower of the three Dragon-class ships in this ambush, the Imperial Navy's losses were minimal. Only three Dragon-class battleships were damaged, but they did not affect the battle.

On the contrary, the Aden Navy faced the extremely powerful firepower coverage of the Dragon-class battleships for the first time. The Aden Navy's frigate group suffered a devastating blow. If the commander of the Aden Fifth Army, Brandon Kaoru, ordered the transport ships to escape individually, the Aden Navy's frigate group suffered a devastating blow. The Aden navy is in a tragic situation. The empire's Dragon Tooth battleship is a fast gunboat, and the Aden transport ship The speed is inherently slow, and it is loaded with too many people and supplies. It is no match for the fast and flexible Dragon Tooth battleship. On the sea, without the cover of the battle line, the Aden Navy's transport ship is like an eagle catching a chicken. Being overtaken by the fierce Imperial Navy Ryuga battleship, it first destroyed the opponent's stern, and then asked the opponent to surrender, "Don't run away, fight them."

On the Aden naval transport ship, the Aden soldiers shouted excitedly. He knew deeply that escaping at this time was impossible. The transport ships of the generals and officers could escape, but they could not because they carried too many people. Waiting Their only fate is destruction. However, there are many kinds of fate of destruction. Some people can die heroically, and some can die in a useless way, but they would rather choose the first one. They roar excitedly and excitedly, and the sound that resounds across the sea responds to their wishes. It was the fierce bombardment of the Imperial Dragon Fang battleship, the roar, the explosion of fire shrouded everything,

A transport ship that was originally escaping suddenly adjusted its course and rushed directly towards the Dragon Tooth Battleship. Although the heavy bow speed was very slow, on this transport ship, the Aden Army lined up neatly on the deck. Heavily armed and in a state of combat readiness, archers in red armor stood on the side of the ship, just like a real confrontation between two armies, raising their bows and arrows towards the Imperial Dragon Fang battleship in the distance, knowing that it was impossible to shoot. ,shooting! The sound of strict orders was like a storm blowing across the deck, and countless arrow clusters flew away like a heavy rain. In the end, they fell one after another because of the distance. However, the archers unmoved and loaded the second arrow, just like the previous ones. In the vast sea, there are enemies they must fight, and Castile is also Deeply shocked by the tragic and suicidal behavior of the Aden soldiers, he hesitated for a moment, raised his head solemnly, and ordered, "Go on, there is no need to persuade them to surrender, sink them all, and send them on their way with the most violent artillery fire." , give them the most solemn funeral!" "Boom!"

"Rumble..."

The massacre began. The slow-moving transport ship was bombarded by the Imperial Dragon Fang battleship. The explosions one after another were like a tense and exciting symphony. The brilliant fires were like the open door of heaven. A series of violent explosions, followed by countless soaring flames. As it rose, the clear surface of the sea suddenly turned an unprecedented deep red, as if it had been sucked in blood. "They are all the best!" In the distance, on a transport ship that was escaping in an emergency, Brandon Karuo, commander of the Aden Fifth Army, saw this scene and his face was ashen, "Only when you are alive can you have a chance, but when you die, you have nothing." No more, as long as the adults are here, the Fifth Army will be there! "A voice sounded beside him, the adjutant said," I don't want to hear such self-comfort words. "For the second time, Brandon Caruo punched the side of the ship. The huge sea surface, scattered ships, burning fires, floating corpses, and flying shells all became blurred in front of his eyes. Everything was gone." In reality, the sudden appearance of the Imperial Navy gave him a premonition that the Empire was taking action, and the Kingdom of Aden would face the most powerful enemy in its expedition to Zhongbia, 8)
